The Democratic Medium

Television received a great deal of publicity during the U- S. Presidential elec- tion campaign but, according to a noted- Washington correspondent, was not as im- portant a factor as many seem to believe. He points out that for every appearance Eisenhower and Stevenson made on tele- vision they made at least a hundred speeches from the platform, that never be- fore in the history of American elections was the platform-direct contact with the audience-used so extensively, and that for every word spoken over the radio there were thousands of words in the newspa- pers, magazines and other printed media. His conclusion, therefore, is that democratic process of discussion, debate and persuasion, the platform and the print- ed word are still supreme.

The platform and printed word, notes the Ottawa Journal, were supreme in last year's election in Britain. Despite the fact that television in Britain is technically far advanced over television in the United States, it was used by the parties only sparingly and, so far as the public was concerned, unimpressively. They called it 'tel-evasion'.

"Actually," says the Journal, "the trou- ble with television and radio as instruments of public discussion, of debate, information and persuasion, is that they are one-way streets. The speaker on radio or on tele- Vision cannot be heckled. cannot be cross- examined. A speaker from the platform, facing an audience, can be called to ac- count immediately, and a speech in print can be read with challenge, with opportun- ity by the reader to weigh the arguments.

"There was no way by which anybody could reply to, or check or heckle, the statements of a Senator McCarthy or a Senator Nixon on television; their words went out to millions without a chance of reply. Debate, in its true sense, was out of the window. With debate out of the window there is no real democracy."

A School For M.P's

Noting Mr. John Diefenbaker's sug- gestion of scholarships for young Cana- ' dians to learn practical politics by working for one year as research assistants to pri- vate M. Pfs in Ottawa, the Financial Post offers some constructive criticism. In the first place, it doubts whether it is the lack of desire which keeps young Canadians out of politics. And secondly, under the proposal, the scholarships would come af- - ter college. Not. only would they discrim- inate against those who havenit attended university, but also they would strengthen professionalism in politics. "While Mr. Diefenbaker's proposal has shortcomings,” adds the Post, "the fact re- mains that thc opposition parties and pri- vate M.P.'s are without much assistance in research. The cabinet has the civil service 'to provide facts, even to write speeches. The opposition parties have small staffs. A pri- vate member by himself is like a hatchet facing the big guns of government, on the complicated fields of economics, law and world politics. Nevertheless, experience and Mr. Diefcnbakcr's own excellent record, have shown that on occasion, those hatchets can be mighty sharp. And it is in sharp hatehets, not in early training for future M.P.'s or in barrels of research reports, that the power of our democracy resides."

World Food situation One important result of the advance of Communism in recent years has been to

remove the old food surplus areas of Europe almost completely from the world

i picture. In normal times Britain, France,

Itailyiand Scandinavia used to import up to 11,000,000. tons of food annually from East Germany. Poland, the Danubian and Balkan countries. They must now look elsewhere for iomethlng like 30 per cent of their food and raw materials. ,This fact is poted in -lgkreview of the world food situation by Mr. Stanley Andrews, of Columbia, Mia'- souri, administrator, of the U. N. Technical Cooperation Administration, who also points out that the food supply developed by me my Jgpaj; has largely disappeared. More-

in the ..

'1' Chinese exports has been even more drastic. But even this supply is threatened and

. might be cut off.

Three other points are noted in this connection. One is the decline of. the food production potential of Argentina under the unwise Peronist policies. A second is the rising domestic consumption in states such as Australia which severely limits exports. A third, closely allied, is the increase in world population--up since 1939 by approx- imately 230 million people- Altogether in the last decade it is estimated that food production has increased about nine per cent, population by 13.

On the other hand anxiety has been expressed that North America is once again moving into an era of embarrassing food and raw material surpluses. A record Cana- dian crop coincides with a current U. S. harvest which may be the second largest in history. This problem of unequal distri- bution of food supplies is becoming more and more difficult of solution. U. S. aids under the various international programmes has relieved the situation during the last few years, but, as Mr. Andrews points out, such aid is now on the decline and food is only bought with such funds when it sup- plements the defense effort or releases funds to be used in defense that would oth- erwise go for food.

t

The Administrator notes a grave dan- ger signal in the rising cry for protection- ism in the United States, but points out that other countries are also at fault in this respect, "trying to achieve certain industrial and other developments by the simple pro- cess of an iron curtain type of economic diplomacy which restricts the normal flow of goods and services." Against this back- ground he stresses the importance of the Point Four programme of sharing tech- nical skills in an effort to raise produc- tion and thus living standards in some 35 countries now in receipt of this type of aid.

At least one Maritime industry is look- ing for a home. The cutlery plant of W. R- Case and Sons (Canada) Ltd. is on the lookout for a new site on which to carry on operations. There is likely to be con- siderable competition amongst Nova Sco- tian communities to be selected but there is no reason why the plant should not be

operated in this Province. 0 O O

The shocking accident at New Perth early Saturda'y morning adds three more deaths to the growing dist of highway fatal- ities in the Province this year: The victims were young people who were well known and highly esteemed in their communities, and the bereaved families will have the sincere sympathy of all our citizens in their tragic loss.

They have asked the Royal College of Art to design ten great windows in the nave of the new Cathedral, to re- place those destroyed in the wartime bombing raid. The windows, 70 feet high. will depict man's journey through life. 0 O O

DAIRYING UNDER. FIRE

Sir, - I desire to compliment The Guardian on its recent cartoon lhowlng to. couple of city slicker "artillery men" apparently enjoying themselves in an attack on the "Dairying" pillar of the ”Farm Economy". The "Margarine" bat- tery is in action, while the "Arm- icial Ice Cream" bombardier is tak- ing his sights on the same target. The scene is suitably titled "Rolling Up Another Gun?"

The origin of the decision to lift the ancient ban in: inst. the butter substitute was. i my memory serves, the upsurglng coat of butter in the years immediately following May 8, 1945. Lack of supply. plua emergency and increasing demand, h'ad resulted in No. 1 creamery butter pi-lees nudging It nose of 30-90 cents. This pressure on the customers pocket.-nerve really gave the green light. to the margarine sponsors and lmpulaod tlho profit- enthustaam of the processors. This was understandable. and while

ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS

In November, 1844. the editor of the Plctou Eastern Chronicle, having "Just returned from 3 I0- Journ in Prince Edward Island", gave an interesting account in h paper of ecclesiastical affairs here at that time. The population of the Island was then about fifty thousand, of whom more than twenty thousand were Roman Catholics, fifteen thousand Prec- byterianc, six thousand Episcopali- ans, and about two thousand Bap- tlsts. The Roman Catholics are de- scribed as including many Acadi- ans, Scotch Highlanders, and Irish. the latter composing a large pro- portion of the population of Char- lottetown. The Island was under the pastoral charge of Rt. Rev. Bernard Donald MacDonald, Bish- op of Charlottetown, who resided at Rustico. "They are erecting a large building for a. seminary of education 3 short distance from Charlottetown." the Plctou editor states, "and besides the large place of worship in that place. they have handsome places of worship in every section of the Island where they are numerous. "The Episcopalians are not. very numerous, but they have six or seven clergymen throughout the Island, and form a part. of the diocese of the Bishop of Nova Scotla. The Methodists have mis- sionaries regularly stationed at Charlottetown, Becleque and one or two other places. The Baptists, though but a small denomination on,t.he Island, are about. the best supplied with clergymen of any sect there. as there are not less than five ministers for a popula- tion of not over two thousand, among themoat noted of whom is Bishop Knox."

of the fifteen thousand Presby- terians, it. is noted that three thousand were Macdonaldltes: of the remainder about one-half were connected with "the Church of Scotland, the other half forming part. of the Presbyterian Church of Nova Scotla. "Those who have

of Scotland are in general in favour of the Free Church, but they are ill supplied with minia- ters," the editor notes. "At present they have only two clergymen to supply the spiritual wants of about six thousand souls, scattered throughout the dlderent parts of the Island. These are the Rev. Hugh Ross. stationed at Murray Harbour, and the Rev. Mr. Mc- Lennan, at Belfast. The former is a zealous adherent of the Free Church, but the latter is come-

on the subject of congregational property. In Charlottetown par- ticularly, where the Rev. Mr. Mc- Intyre was recently stationed. they are fetter-ed by the connection of their church with the Established Church of Scotland. but the large majority of the congregation are in favor of Free Church prin- ciples. They are at present desti- tute of settled cuppllec of preach- ing, since the departure of Mr. McIntyre for the land of his fora- fathera. but they are in expecta- tion of receiving a clergyman from the Free Church of Scot- land." i

Notwithstanding this division in the Presbyterian fold, the writer notes that. "the but. feeling pra- valls between the members of each section. and in the event of 3 union taking place between the two bodies in Nova Scotla. Prea- byterlanrthere (on the Iclandl will be blended into one compact phalanx, and will be prepared for a cordial and harmonious co-op- oration in the promotion of their common interests.”
