connunlst Party Membership

More than 900 million persons are now under the Communist yoke; yet, according tog: Moscow survey as quoted by Reuters

hold membership in the Communist Party. Russia, with a population of more than 209 million, has 7 million Party members; Clthii, with three times Russia's popula- ii0?1",l- has little over 6 million. The figures fotfthe satellite countries follow a similar trend; only a fraction of the population is officially Communist.

The survey officials interpret this to mean that Russian leaders are interested more in quality of membership than in quantity; each Party member is regarded as a leader in his community and is ex-

If such agreements were reached in either or both these the- atres, the arrangements would still depend on good faith and co-operation, for which time would certainly be required. 'In these circumstances although Her Majesty's gov- ernment still believe that the Central Peo- ple's Government should .represent China in the United Nations they certainly do not consider that this is the moment for the matter to be reconsidered."

The Anointed?

Ottawa correspondents are saying that with his appointment as Finance Minister Mr. Walter Harris has been moved into the anteroom of his party's leadership, that Mr. St. Laurent has said to him ”'Phou art the man." I

But, says the Ottawa Journal, it hasn't always been that the finance department

pected to educate the masses in thel "privileges" they enjoy under this system of minority rule. To make sure that the; quality of the local organization is not af- fected adversely by influx of new members, each applicant is subjected to severe tests and thorough investigation before his ap- plication is approved. In addition, purges are indulged in from time to time as means of keeping the standard on a "high" level. , Other statistics brought out by the sur-E vey indicate that there is a Communist organization of some sort in every country in the world. Among the free nations Italy comes first with an official member-: ship of more than 2 million; France is' second with about 800 thousand. The United States has 60 thousand, Britain 35 thousand; Indials quota is the same as that of the United States. No estimate is given for Canada. These figures, it is to be noted, cover Party members only; they do not include sympathizers or would-be mem- bers who have not yet satisfied the exam- iners of their fitness to be numbered . among the elite. " 'It would be idle to speculate on the ' possible views of the vast army of "out- sidefs'l who make up the bulk of the p- ulition in Communist controlled countries. . Biit, even allowing for many millions who ', may be sympathetic with the partyls aims and policies, without actually being mem- bers, there must be multitudes of embitter- ed citizens, some of whom have been re- jected by Party leaders, who are just put- ting up with conditions because they are powerless. for the time being,”to do any-1 thing about them. It seems incredible that. 37p of a country's population could con- tinue to retain absolute political control.

What Churchill Said

In view of their importance, it is well worth studying Prime Minister Churchill's own words in dealing with the question of Red China's admission to the United Nations, as reported verbatim in the Brit- ihh House of Commons on Monday. This

was the last rung but one in ascent to party leadership. Sir George Foster was minister of finance in the ministries of Abbott, Thompson, Bowell and Tupper; he never became his partyls leader. Mr. Fielding was Liberal finance minister fory 15 years; Mr. King, little known or tried at the time, defeated him for the succes-I sorship to Laurier. i

The Journal recalls that Sir Thomas? White was finance minister under Borden;p although he was Borden's choice to succeed! him as prime minister it was Meighen, sup? ported by the party caucus, who got the post. Mr. Robb was finance minister under; Mr. King; no one ever thought of him asl Mr. King's successor. Mr. Rhodes was fl-I nance minister under Bennett; although a man of great ability his post at finance never marked him as Bcnnettls successor.

So Mr. Harrisl promotion may mean lit-I tie more than that Mi'. St. Laurent thought' of him as the best man he could find for the finance job where talent was not too plentiful. And while it could be that Mr. Harris will turn out to be a first-rate man in finance, and thereby increase his pros-i peqts for Mr. St. Laurentls post when Mr.i St. Laurent relinquishes it, that is the most that can.bo said for the time-being.

As a depressing sidelight on the St. Lawrence Seaway project comes word that completion of the undertaking would give a great impetus to, among other things, the export of juke boxes by the United States. The city of Buffalo, it appears, is a great juke box manufacturing centre and the producers believe that overseas ship- ment of these musical torture-chambers will be facilitated by the Seaway.

Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, French landscape painter, was born this date 1796. After seven years' apprenticeship in a Paris drapery business be resolved to be- come a painter. He studied in Paris, Italy, England and Switzerland. Recognition came slowly, at least from official sources, but he was soon being offered large sums, which he did not always accept, for his paintings. He had remarkable technical ability and paid close attention to detail. In later life he allowed himself more free- dom and interpreted nature in her more tender elusive moods.

This column is open to the discussion by con-espondontn of questions of interest. The Guardian does not IIEOEDSHF. lly endorse the opinion of correspondents.

THEN, AND NOW

Sir,-Reading "Old Charlottetown" in a recent issue of The Guardian brought visions of English Gold Sovereigns, Spanish Dubloons and pieces-of-eight clunking into the old fashioned tllls at the Custom House. "Duties on articles import- cd here, will henceforth be re- ceived in British money of Spanish dollars" the article said. as quoted from the P. E. Island Register of 1829.

Time marches on and amazing changes are recorded. Today the English pound sterling, once the standard of world currency at 154.86 2-3 (Canadian dollars) has dwindled, to 52.72 3-4. while ii chicken broader-house could be lin- ed with Spanish dollars at less cost than a good grade of tar paper. Even the much sought-after Amer- ican silver dollar made a bow of 3 1-2 per cent this week to Canadian folding money. '

Hydrogen,Bomb Challenge

Rt. Hon. C. 3. Action, 0.31., in European Service.

In my view, we face today a new the history of the

of governments, have evolved a. weapon which is capable of de- stroying the- great. cities of the world or. if not of dstmylug them, at least putting them out of action. It has been stated that mic bomb that was discharged in line Pacific would put out of action the metro- polll.a.n area. of New York -City; that is a very great. extent. 1!. could devastate Moscow. Paris. Sydney. or any other of the great cities of the world. Besides this. it. is clear that the area oz danger in the explosion of these bombs is very great. In fact. it would appear that whole regions can be made unsafe for human beings, animals, and perhaps also for vegetation.

our modern civilization expresses itself partlcularly in the great. cities - the cities of 1,000,000, or of 2,000,000, 3,000,000 or more in- habitants. "They offer targets of lmntisnse vulnerability. We have great industrial areas and tahey,I.re today exposed to destruction by a single blow. We have reached a culminating point in the develop- ment of warfare. At. one time, war was waged between armed forces, and the suffering of the civilian population was generally incident- al. Sometimes there were deliber- ate ravages and bloclosdss, but broadly speaking the attack was directed by one lot of armed forces against another. We -have travelled a. long way since then.

Attack on the civilian population has now become primary. Consider the changes in our lifetime. I om- remembor the south African War. We can trace tihs change: up through other wars, first the Great war and linen the second Great War. All the time the rostrlctions on warfare have been steadily evaded. About forty years ago, the kind of action that was taken in the last. war would have been thought. absolutely abhorrent to civilised people, yet. it is lam than forty years since the uppelins were over London. See what I long way we have travelled since then.

Let us consider the effect of this invention. Does it make war more, or less. likely? The question merits close examination. It is contended that the istence of this weapon will itself prevent war. It is said that the existence of the atom or hydrogen bomb in the hand: of the United sum was I detorrent, preventing the U.SB.R., with its great superiority in numbers and conventional weapons, from sweep-t In; right. over Europe in A major act of aggression. It may be so. But. as soon so the U.B.B.l?.. got their atom bomb the fame of that deterrent was i ned. the certainty of retaliation, and, what in mom. the possibility of

Who can doubt, after reading "Hita- lor'a Last Days," that even at the very and of that war. if Hitler had had an atom bomb, he would have used it, even if there had been the poulbility of retaliation? He was completely reckless and anarchlstic. He would rather have seen absolute destruction if he had ml- ed to get his end. -

I suppose that most. of us in our time have read of the great civili- zations of the past, and reading with ll. knowledge of the event we say, 'What. fools these people were not. to realize what was happening" -the iival emperors struggling for power in. a Roman Empire with who barbarians ready to break in and usher in those centuries which we call the Dark Ages. Great civill- zstiiom have been destroyed, some- times from internal wukneaes, sometimes from external attacks. The Roman Empire came down through tin force of the undivi- lized world. The destructive fdice today is something which we have ourselves made. and it is operating in a one-world civilisation more closely linked than ever before. Would not a visitor from another planet say just the same of us. 'What fool; to keep quarrelllng in flee of this ” I '?
