Commonwealth Conference ' overshadowing in "5 Urgency every other issue at the Commonwealth Conference in London next week will be the Formosa situa- tion. Frime Minister St. Laurent has taken his Minister of External Affairs, l-ion. Mr. Pearson, along with him, which is itself in- dicative of the Canadian government's deep concern with the problem. Mr. Pearson pro- posed in the House of Commons last '1'ues-

day that Formosa be ”neutralized” and its; final disposition dealt with by negotiation.l The British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, has ,

also been pushing the Formosa peace plan, involving a cease-fire in the China straits and a. Nationalist withdrawal from Chinese coastal islands. If the plan wins American and Chinese Nationalist approval. he will ask India's Prime Minister, Mr. Nehru, to seek

Red Chinese acceptance of it. in the mean?

time, a British embassy spokesman has sought to enlist Soviet support for similar proposals sponsored by New Zealand in the United Nations Security Council, and backed by the British representatives.

Ordinarily British Commonwealth confer- ences have dealt chiefly with mutual trade and currency matters, and touched only in- cidentally on international affairs. But the

threat to world peace has reached its most,

acute stage since the Korean war and no part of the civilized world can afford to be indifferent to its consequences.

Then And Now

"Some of us are coming to fear that he. too, is a politician. Still he remains the best of the lot, head and shoulders above the others"; ”The greatest danger to the Presi- dent is his own excessive early popularity. He was at first too popular. are. given to hero-worship-then to hero for- getfulness"; ”He is as popular with the people as ever; but powerful party groups are doing all they can to injure him;" "Although he is still strong with the people, there is sometimes a weariness when he is spoken of"; "The big political machine is against him"; "His renomination is as certain as any event can be that is so far ahead"; "The people. on the whole, have faith in his sin- cerity and good intentions, but . . ."

The above expressions of opinion, gath- ered from a cross-section of voters in all parts of the United States, were published exactly fifty-one years ago this month in reply to a series of questions about the pop- ularity of President Theodore Roosevelt. In substance-if one may judge by public opin- ion polls and by editorial references in wide- ly separated sections of the American press. they resemble very closely what is being said about Mr. Eisenhower: he is a good president and generally popular, but . . .

If Mr. Eisenhower does intend to "run again" in 1956-up to now he has not said yes or no-he can take some comfort from the fact that Mr. Roosevelt, a few months after the publication of these opinions. was re-elected with the biggest majority ever given up to that time to a Presidential candi- date.

Dairy Farmers of Canada pass resolutions condemning the business and asking federal action against future cheese imports while a surplus remains in Canada. Even a last- minute letter from the Prime Minister, the content of which was not disclosed, failed to soften the ire of the dairymen.

It was apparent from what Mr. Gardiner told the Regina meeting that the bringing of 2,226,000 pounds of New Zealand cheese to Canada was hardly "in the ordinary course of business" as Trade Minister Howe toldt-the Commons. Mr. Gardiner implied thatthe Government had agreed to the im-

part."

The Chiiicsr make warlike noises l about Formosa.

The C h i n e s 9 make peaceful inoises about the American prison-

iers they hold as spies. The R u s s i a n s make warlike

noises about West European dc- fence. The Russians make peaceful

nniscs about coexistence.

It causes one to wonder: Have they taken a leaf from the book of the Soviet scientist Pavlov? Are they trying to produce neurosis in the Western world?

Pavlov showed the way in experi- ments with dogs. He carefully trained the dogs so that when he rapped slowly on a board. it meant food. When he rapped quickly, it meant punishment.

After A while, whrncvcr Pavlov rapped slowly, the dogs' mouths would water. When he rapped quickly. the dogs would cringe.

PLAN REVERSED

Then. suddenly. Pavlov reversed the procedure. He rapped slowly and the dog was punished. He rapped quickly and the dog got food.

ACCEPT 3100.000 BEQUEST

MONTREA (CF)-The board of governors of McGlll University have accepted a 5100.000 bequest from the late Dr Henry Albert Benttyp brother of Sir Edward Beatty, long-time chancellor of the university. The bequest will be used to establish the Sir Edward Realty Memorial Fund for medical students. l

That. sort of atlrilioli is going on in the Communist. world today. At the least. they hope to keep the Western world totally off balance. At the most they may hope to produce a confusion so complete that it will amount to creating neui-niics en masse.

The gesture of Peiplng in of- fering to permit relatives of the imprisoned American airmen to visit the prisoners obviously is de- signed to show the world-particw larly the Asian world-that: China is the reasonable party in today's conflicts. the party of peace.

Thus. it seems more than likely that the Red Chinese eventually will release the imprisoned Ameri- can ainmen. at the moment when it will do them the most good.

Such a move could well be cal- culated to bolster Red China's claim to A seat in the United Na- tions. it could also be calculated to make the Red Chinese appear the injured party in the question nf Formosa” despite their warlike approach to a solution.

Today Great Britain is prosper- ous; some think more prosperous than ever before. More jobs are available than there are people to fill them. Massive emigration had nothing to do with this transfor- mation. ln the last five years. only a few hundred thousand Brit- ons left the country, not millions, and total population has actually increased. What got Britain start- ed on the long road to economic recovery was exactly the same combination that any prudent in- dividual must use. namely doing without the luxuries until business is rebuilt. -Financial Post.

It once was the idea the longer people worked the more they did. it seune” a reasonable theory. but it has been sadly shattered by modern developments. one man now can produce twice as much. and often more, than his ancestor of 100 years ago. even if he works but 40 hours a week as compared to 70. Industrial techniques are mainly iesponsible. Men now have machines to do much, or most. of the work for them. in Canada cheap horsepower derived from wat- er replaces much of the manpower which otherwise would be required. A Canadian can accomplish as much, for instance. in a week as many people in Asia can in a year.

The figures published In one of our recent issues of the volume of supplies that will he required to service Camp Gagetown constitute a challenge to New Brunswick's economy, more particularly its farm economy. Daily requirements based on the needs of the 10,000 trainees alone are given in such figures as: 20,000 eggs, 5.000 lbs. of butter, five tons of potatoes. The plain fact. of the matter is that this area will not be able to meet the demand, and much of the economic value of the Camp in New Brunswick will be lost to us. unless the real situation is understood immediately and the necessary steps taken to step up production. Even now it probably is too late to secure all this mar- ket for 1955. The supply crisis will be upon us in a little over four months. However much may be done even to meet. the 1955 situa- tion it prompt action is taken. there wkll be no excuse for us at all if we cannot feed our visitor: in 1956.
