Trouble On The Seaway

Trouble is brewing on l:he St. Lawrence Seaway. In fact, American seaman, tug boat and dredge work- ers, drillers and engineers have threatened to strike it a Canadian ruling which limits the number at American workers in the deepening of the Detroit River on the Canadian side is not repealed.

The Canadian Authority has de- creed that 100 Canadians and only (:9 Anim-it-ans will be employed in lhr project which is being carried out by an American firm. This means. according to the critics, that approxiniau-ly 100 American work- ers attached to the Company will be put out of work; and they don't like it at all. The firm doesn't like it. either: but there is nothing it can do about it. since the quota was worked ou t between the United States Corps of Engineers and the Canadian Government. One official called it "the best compromise on a difference of opinion."

The complainers point to the fact that "thousands of Canadians come to Detroit daily to work" without let or hindrance and that Canadians in almost unlimited numbers are working on the American side of the Seaway. The matter is considered of so much importance that Gover- nor Williams of Michigan asked Sec- retary of State Dulles to intervene in behalf of American workers. In his letter. Mr. Williams observed: "The apparent reason for the Cana- dian attitude is that there is unem- ployment in Canada and it is desired to use our funds to help solve that problem. However. when there were over 250.000 Michigan residents out of work last year. the United States did not bar the many. many Cana-

dians who daily cross the Detroit

River to their jobs. It seems to me

wholly unreasonable that our Gov-

ernment should now acquiesce in a

Canadian bar to the employment of

our citizens in Canada."

In all fairness there is something to he said for this view; although, of course. the fact that Canada is putting up most of the money for the project is sufficient reason for favouring Canadian labour. In any case, it would seem only right and proper for an agreement to be reached on these questions by the two governments before the progress of the work is hindered by discon- tent of workers on one side or the other. There will be plenty of labour disputes for other and less avoidable reasons before the project is com- pleted.

Washington Pilgrimage

' The third anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision outlawing racial segregation in the pu blic schools was observed in a "prayer pilgrimage" to Washington by many thousand Negroes. They assembled at the Lincoln Memorial to pray not

more action by the Congress in the field of civil rights. There is ground for their impa-

"Our First Amendment. per-hail the most treasund part of our Bill of Rights. guarantees to this people the right peacefully to assemble to petition for the redrem of grievances. The assembly in Washington was completely lawful in every respect and those who organized it and led it are to be congratulated.

"Precisely because of this em- phasis we are not in entire sympathy with Representative Adam Clayton Powell's urging upon these suppli- cants the use of boycotts. work stop- pages and slowdowns to make their point. Their point has already been well made and their case will be stronger if they, unlike some of their antagonists, remain rigidly within the law."

In The Wilderness

While the (treat Powers are com- peting with one another in the grim task of building bigger and more lethal weapons of war, and while the other nations are looking to the day when they, too, will have the most fiendish devices at their disposal, the Red Cross. true to its historic mission, is doing what it can to pre- serve some measure of sanity to an untoward generation.

A dispatch from Geneva says that experts there have drawn up a new set of ”rules" for war. which they "hope" will be accepted by all governments at a conference to be held next fall. Following are some of the rules: Aerial warfare must be restricted to certain limits imposed by the needs of mankind. Belligerent nations must limit their operations to destruction of the enemy's mili- tary power. The only bombardments tolerated would be those of military targents. Use of weapons which might "inadvertently" spread in space and time would be banned.

A spokesman for the Red Cross, when asked what. chance he thought the rules might have among the various governments, would only say that "the Committee once more puts its trust in the common sense of m nklnd which will enable them, when the hour of decision has come to decide between wisdom and death, to choose wisdom." It may seem to be. and it probably is, a forlorn hope. Neither history nor the present pat- tern of international politics would seem to give it credence. But some- how it is good to hear. among the strident cries of a world rushing headlong to destruction, voices pro- claiming a belief that wisdom will yet prevail. Voices in the wilderness they may be. They are not less com- forting on that account.

Expansion Problem

The growing pains which we are experiencing In Charlottetown and the suburban villages of Parkdale and Spring Park are not unique. They are, indeed, in kind if not in degree, similiar to those facing met- ropolitan areas all across Canada. Each area has, of course, its own particular problems; but the overall need of supplying municipal services as efficiently and as economically as possible remains the same. The qua- tion has been under study locally for some time, and there seems to be a growing body of informed opinion in favour of amalgamation under one administration.

With a view to throwing as much light on this question as possible. and of enabling our citizens to judge ,intelligently of the issues involved, the Charlottetown Metropolitan Corn- mlttee under the chairmanship of Lt. Colonel F. J. Storey has been assembling facts a n d figures for several months. The report of this committee was submitted at a joint meeting in the City Hall on Tues- day night. and the recommendations appeared in yesterday's issue of The Guardian. The report. however, con- tains much other valuable informa- tion on the subject, which deserves to be read and studied carefully by allourcitiaens.Fot-thlsreuonwe are publishing it in serial form, start- ing in today's
