Proposed -.Hlslorlc Park

It is a matter of general satisfac- tion that the most historic area in this Province, embracing Port la J oie

and Fort Amherst, is being acquired

by the Provincial Government to be turned over to ' the Federal Depart- ment of National Resources and de-.

veloped as a National Historic Park. '

These sites, on the farm property of

Mr. J.0. Hyndman, are associated

' with both e early French and Bri- tish regimes in Prince Edward ’Is- land. Founded in 1720, a few months after the arriVal of the first French settlers, Port la. J oie formed the mil- itary and administrative. headquar- ters of the colony until British times, and it'was here, in 1722, that the first Christian church—dedicated to St. John the Evangelist—was erected on the Island. In the same vicinity, in 1758, Lord Rollo erected Eort Am- herst, the remains of which _can still be traced. -

Much credit is ' due to the RBI. Historical Society and to Chief J us-

tice Campbell, our. Island represen- ‘

tative on the Historic Sites and Monuments Board, for bringing this long-delayed issue to a head. It was on the Board’s recommendation that the Federal Department’s action is being taken. ' ~Whatever misunderstanding existed between the responsible Min- ister, Mr. Hamilton; and Premier Matheson with regard to acquisition of the site, has ‘now been cleared up, and can, well be forgotten. The Pre- , mier’s statement in yesterday’s Guar- dian indicates that he is desirous of cooperating in every way in further: ing the Historic Park project, as 8130 are our Federal representatives who have been active in the matter. It is,a highly creditable. undertaking to all concerned, and it is tobe hoped that it will not be marred by political bick- ering from any quarter. , Credit toois due to Mr, J .0. Hynd'

p The Suez Settlement Other problems have arisen in . the Middle East to put the Suez crisis of two yearsv'ago in the shade; but . for the record it is worth noting the manner in which this once burning issue has been resolved.

The United Arab Republic has i signed ,an agreement to pay $75 mil- I

lion in six installments to the suez Canal Co. in payment for the suez canal properties nationalized by Egypt on July 26, 1956. The com- pany is to keep ($15.million in canal

fees collected outside Egypt since ‘

the seizure. The UAR ialso recog- nized the company’s right to retain assets outside Egypt.

Thus the Suez Co. has formally recognized nationalitation 10 years before its 99 year concession was to have expired. Britain and France

are still pursuing'independent nego- -

tiations with the UAR on repara- tions to be paid as a result of the Suez conflict of November, 1956. Meanwhile, the United Nations has announced that ships using the .canal will be asked to pay a 3% surcharge on canal tolls starting next month. The proceeds will go to ~ repay $8.2 million to the 11 nations that financed the UN operation to clear the waterway, blocked by the Egyptians when the British, French and Israelis attacked. The salvage operation was financed by a $5 million advance from the United States and smelller sums from Aus- tralia, Italy, ( Norway, West Ger- many, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Liberia and Cey- lon. The UN expects that it will take three years to complete the repay- ments. The surcharges will

, , were

' voluntary. The Communist bloc has already announced that .it will not pay them, Moscow having contended from the start that Britain, France and Israel should foot the bills. This is not a particularly important fac- tor however, inasmuch as relatively » few Communist bloc vessels use the canal. Western European vessels are the major users“

The canal has been kept in opera- tion since its. reopening. There has ‘ of the Lebanon-Iraq crisis. The

Egyptians last month authorized three American dredging companies ‘ to deepen the canal to 40 feet. The $18 million job is expected to take two years. ‘ / President Nasser and his follow- ers must fully realize that their best hope for prosperity is to continue to sell their oil to the West and permit the west’s shipping to pass through the Suez Canal. Therein, perhaps, lies the best hope of reaching a practical agreement with the Arab world.

‘ Changed Allilucl'e?

There was no surprise at the Uni- ted Nations Assembly meeting when the Soviet Foreign Minister, Mr. Gromyko, lashed out at the United States and Britain for their interven- tion in Lebanon and Jordan. His tone, indeed, was mild compared with some of the bitter denunciations which have come from the same quarter. This change was noted by every com- mentator. It is evident thatthe Krem- lin feels obliged to assume at least the superficial appearance of a peace- maker and that the constructive pro- posals of President Eisenhower prov- ed a challenge calling for more than mere abuse.

The changed . attitude of the Rus- sian spokesman would be encouraging if it were sincere. One‘ little news item, however, tends to throw grave doubt on this assumption. It is a re- port from Munich. received through a U.S.‘informationagency, that on Wednesday night, during the As- sembly debate, Moscow was heavily jamming its soviet-language broad~ ' casts; The jamming applied not only

bower—which might have been ex-

“; pected—but to that of Mr. Gromyko as well. If true, this can only mean ,

that the Russian minister’s words intended strictly for foreign consumption.‘ Why it was deemed necessary to prevent the ‘_ Russian

’ guessed at; but it is difficult to place any favorable interpretation upon .such an incident. ‘ _ '

EDITORIAL NOTES

‘ Mr. Elmer O’Hanley, teacher at Naufrage, was right in deploring the midern tendency tollook upon an ed~ ucation as a means of taking young people from the farms. Farmers, like. all other people, are benefited by a reasonably sound education; but they -can use it on the farm as well as any- where else. One of the main tasks of the schools is to impress upon rural youngsters the dignity and honour at- tached to farming. \ ‘ . s at A report from Warsaw says that the Polish Government is alarmed over illicit. traffic in liquor. In the last six months 600 moonshine stills were seized.‘ That,' surely,: is not a

“WELCOME THE STRANGER.”

Sir,--This is the um 'ol the year, when many e from other places come 0 visit us;

' «Wand-we are to have

them come and enjoy themselves in our midst; Prince: Edward Is- land is a grand place in which to enjoy a vacation. The Province has many natural beauties and pastoral quietness. There are many places of interest which our guests may visit. . y ' Many will want to worship with us on the Lord’s. Day. Let us make them feel at home in our church services. Do not leave it all in the Minister to do that. I was told by friends of mine, that one Sunday, not very long ago, they attended a service in one of our churches. They listened to a good sermon and they also en- joyed the music-of the choir. But when the- service was over,_ and they were going out of the the minister and one member were'the only persons who spoke to them. Now, that. at- titude was not intentional on the partof that congregation; I feel sure of that. But it was the failure on thepart of God’s child-

. ran to realize that they were met together for the supneme purpose,

of wonshlpplng God and fellow- shipping with Him and with one another. l‘Be not forgetful to en- tertain strangers; for thereby som have entertained angels unawares,” HebreWs 13.2.

No matter what country we are in, when we go to a church ser- vice we expect to experience that warm Christ—like friendliness

which was so characteristic of.

our blessed Saviour when He walked and talked with people here on earth. Let us so manifest the Spirit of Christ; not only in our churches; but in all our con- tacts with our fellowmen and especially in our churches; so that when strangers come to worship with us, they will go away saying: “It was good for us to. worship there today. The people are so friendly." '

MISPLACED HOLIDAY

Sir,-—As we corhe to the close of this week’s holiday in this city we stop for a. moment and think if ever we had a misplaced holiday this was it. In the very heart of Old Home Week, with the city bulging with people from everywhere, we find it a holi- day. As one who was up town in the forenoon we were asked scores of times, “What areyour stores closed for? Where do we

(go? Drug stores closed. every-

thing closed, but your big liquor store”; and that place as we saw it did a roaring business. People were stunned to find no stores open in this busy week, no banks, no nothing but a liquor store with two cops to keep the cars moving. This misplaced holiday was no good to the visitors. It was no good to the business houses and it was no good to anyone. People were rushing around looking for newspapers. There were no Guardians, no Patriots, and we must not for- get after we leave the 'edges of our city it was no holiday and those peop'e were enlltled to a paper, at least we think so. This

hopes and problems, and even about_our culture.

It did not surprise me to note that no Canadian newspapers and no Canadian magazines were on sale on any news-stand I saw. In contrast, about four-fifths of the magazines and onefiltth of the hewspalpers I see on news-stands here are published in the U.S.

I did not see or hear one sin- gle Canadian radio or TV pro- gramme, cinema film or phono graph record. .But here I sup- pose more than a third of out broadcast programmes and 95 per cent of Our film-and records or- iginate in the States.

The only time I heard Canada mentioned on the radio was when a weather forecast announ- ced that “a mass of cold Clan- adlilan air” would bring relief from ‘a heat wave.

My questioner was Professor R._ I. W. Westglate, son of Rev. Dr. T.‘B.R. Westglate of Winnipeg, who has lived for many years in New York Cristy. His interest and. in— formed approach led to a novel trend of discussion.

Pipelines In, Near East.

National Geographic Society ', _

Like ant-cries carrying blood through the body, a netWork of oil pipelines transports ,the es- sence of industrial] and military power over the vast areas of the Near East. I .

Besides the man-y lines that reach out from the all wells for varying distances within the countries of onilgin, thousands of miles of pipe loop the blinders of neighboring and distant lands.

Three major systems extend to the eastern shores of the Medit- erranean, says the National Geo- graphic Society. Two start from Iraq’s Klirkuk fields in the heart of the now turbulent Near East. A third streaks from the Persian wastes of northern Arabia. Toget- Gulf coast across the desert wastes of northern Arabia. Toget- her, the three systems cover more than 3,000 miles. . BIG PROBLEMS

Building the long and massive pipelines (some have a. diameter of more than 30 inches) repre- sented a tremendous engineering least by the big, internationally owned companies that extract near East oil.

No less difficult is the job of keeping the oil flowing in regions

city seems to be run by a few who set holidays and change them at _will. Contractors, paint- ers. builders and milkmen kept right on and many corner stores, for it was not a holiday, it was only a sham, the biggest force in many a day. We had better wake up right smart before an- other year gets here and find another time for this holiday at the week-end, Saturday or Mon-

' .lere are questions of royalties, payments for transit privileges, and rights and obligations of the operating companies. In 1936, when Britain, France, and Isrcal moved against Egypt and the Su- ez Canal, Arab nationalists blew up sec-lions of the Iraqi pipelent leading to the ports of Baniyas in Syria, and” Tripoli in Lebanon. Transport of Iraqi oil into Is- ugeal by way of Jordan over the southern line has been cut off ever since the Arab- Isreali war of 1948. ’

To handle substitute oil ship- am-e'nlts from other sources, Is- real has just completed a 2‘5- mile pipeline that runs from the port of Ellal on the Gulf on ‘Aqab lo Haifa on the Mediterranean coast.

Western Turkey now has two new carrier pipes of 250 and 200 miles each. In Iran, the Albada-n- ltowAhwaz line has been extended 1to the capital at Tehran. Ilt winds in all nearly 750 miles over de- serts and mountains. V PLANS FOR FUTURE.

Many of the oil-rich states, in- cluding Saudi Arabia and near—by small sheikdslms, are preparing for increased output and trans port needs.

Iraq, where violent revolt re- cently overthrew the monarchy, has been planning additinal out- llstls to expand its oil exoorls. One proposed pipeline would pass lllhrouglh Turkey to reach the Med- iterranean.

Iran and Turkey contemplate a 1,0004mile line from the Iranian fields of Qum to the Turkish port r rskenderun.
