wt-:o.si-:snAv. JUNE 21, 1956 A Reasonable Demand

Whether or not Opposition speakers are making too much of the irregularities which the Federal Government brought into use dur- ing the time of the controversial pipe-line debate is, of course. a mat- ter of opinion. Severe critics. in- cluding some sections of the press -which traditionally have been Lib- eral in their sympathies. take the view that the Opposition criticism was ntot nearly harsh enough: those it ho think the Government can do no wrong say that it has gone be- yond the stage of reason. One thing. -liowevcrl seems perfectly justified. 1'-ill(i”lilIll is the Opp )Sill ) is de- mand for an early elegtiri For it must be vicar to anyone that dam- age was done to our parliamentary systcni in recent weeks which only a new Ill”,,'lllllillL' is capable of mend- ing. Riglitly or wrongly. the pres- tige of the Speakership. funtia neu- taito the legislative process in A free society. has been shattered. or at least sertotisly inipairci In addi- tion to that, Parliament itself-and this applies to the Government ma- jority as well as tn the Opposition minority --has been virtuality re- duccd to a state of usclessncss.

An election might or might not ohangge the numerical standing of the vartritis parties in the Com- mons. But that. in any case. is not the important thing. so far as the integrity of Parliament is concern- ed. The important thing is that an election campaign would V submit -the. essential differences on what is right. and what is wrong to the peo- ple from whom authority is derived. That, being done. and a popular de- cision rcavlied, Parliament. irre- spective of the result of the. elec- tion. would be in a position to start in afresli. unhampered by th e doubts and coiifilsions which now hinder free and intelligent discus- sion of the nation's business.

Shoulcl Be Revised

It is to be hoped that there. will be general approval of the request made in the lvlouse of Com iions by Mr. George Nowland for I revision of the federal subsidies on Mari- time freight rail shipments. With every boost in railway freight rates, which have gone up 98.7 percent sinre 19-18. the Maritlmes have been disproportionately affected. simp- ly lictvttise we have not here the truck and water competition which tends to keep the rates to a com- petitive basis as in the big Central Provinces. The result. as Mr. Now- inn poinlrrl out. is that the Mari- limcs are worse off now than be- fore the Maritime. Freight Rates Asslstmice Act was passcrl in 1027.

This trend was evident. even in July, 1945), when the Royal (Tom- mission on Transportation sat in this Province and heard Strotlll nnmpinilils on the subject. frin the Provivirial Government. The (Irw- ernnicnt brief contemderi that ”t'iP. Whole operation of I1OFI'.0"ll.FlI freight increases is wrong in prin- ciple and prejudicial to the inter- ests of the outlying sections of (Ian- Ida. and that. if increasing costs of railway operation must be met by the imposition of additional rates. then some other basis must be sought. or compensating factors be considered in relation to the eco- nomic wellbeing of this Province."

The Maritime Freight Rates Act was passed in 1927 as a result of the report of the Duncan Con nission on Maritime Claims. It. provided for I 1) percent reduction on rates Qhggged on traffic originating or taorminating at stations on the At- llntic Division of the C.N.R., and up until March, 1948, the rates. with the exception of m l n o r chnnges remained fairly constant. At that time the Board of Trans- port: Commiuionem on application

is now practically wiped out. other Provinces would not stand for this treatment. and we do not think they would object to the Freight Rates Assistance Act being revised and brought up to date. It is for our members at Ottawa to convince the country. and the Federal Govern- ment, that this belated step is urg- ent and reasonable.

Another Problem

Who would have thought no longer than ten years ago that the time would come when the United States Government would anxiously await the results of an election in tiny, powerless Iceland? Yet, that was the case this last weekend, for mucb depended on the way the election would go. If Premier Thors and his moderate ll'rll'l.V W1??? 1'9- elected. there was some hope that American troops and P-Ttllpment would be permitted to stay on the island. almough 3 demand for their withdrawal m a d 4- several months ago. Well. it is clear now that IVIy1Th(ii's'liIIl not he in control when the tiiial results have been tabulated. Tli-at nit-:uis that the Am- liave to go. It means

H35

ericans will also that an lml)tll'l;illl section of the NATO defense system is in

process of being unlit-rniiiied.

Nor is this the most. serious as- pect of the situation. It is cannori knowledge that some I-European countries. iiicluding West Germany, are not too happy over the pros- port of having American forces. or the forces of any other foreign POLlllll'). on their soil inirfinitely. The tui'n of nffaii's in Iceland is bound to make them even less happy about it. Meanwhile. the now- ly independent state of Morocco has let it be known that the agree- ment between France and the lin- ited States regarding military bases there will not he honourezi by the new Government.

All this adds up to a very diffi- cult situation. indeed, for Wcstern security which depends largely on the network of bases from the Arc-

tic regions to the South Atittitic and beyond. What. can be done about it. if anything. will present.

another big and growing problem.

Commonwealth Affairs

While there is no fixei agenda for th 9 British Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conference which opens in London today, it. is expect- cd that the admission of new mem- bers and the. planing of a common front towardis Russia's ”competi- tive co-existence" challenge to the West will be topics of riii-cf concern. Several of Britain's colonial terri- tories have made rapid strides to- ward sclf-government since the last conference in .IanLiai'y.1El.'i.'i, and may become eligible for representa- tion at future. conferences. These are the Federation of Malaya. the Gold Coast in West Africa. and the projected Caribbean Federation of l-lritishg West Indies territories. Prime Minister St. Laurent has not indicated any particular problems affecting Canada. but we share with all (Iommonwcalth nations in concern for the future. and par- ticularly in the crisis through which Britain is passing in her relations with countries in the Middle East. Trade questions also will doubtless be fully discussed. as well as Com- monwealth defence plans in general. We are living in unstable times, and our tiommonwcalth ties are more than ever dependent on mutual understanding of each other's prob-

lems. If this week's conference were to scrve no other p.lr 1 H3 than this it. would be well worth

while. EDITORIAL NOTES

T Bridge Al

Gibraltar

National Geographic Magazine.

The Spanish (iovernnient is run- sidering a road and railway bridge tn link Europe and Africa at the Strait of Gibraltar. where fabled licrculcs tore apart a prehistoric mountain range and created the faninus "pillars" that hear his

name.

The Pillars of Herciiles--F3iirope'.s l.-lll(l-loot Roi-k of Gibraltar and Africais twice-as-higli Jcbcl Must: licadlaiid--stand at the strait's cust- ern cud. They are I4 miles apart.

The proposed ..ridge would rise near the western entrance of the its-mile-long strait. Reaching from a point west of Tarifa. Spain, to the opposite Spanish Moroccan coast. It must leap I gap of about 15 miles.

PH0l:1Nl('lANS PIONEEREI)

The bridge is of suspension de- sign. with cement piers footed deep in the strait floor, and roadways slung high enough to permit pas- sage of the largest ocean liners. If successful. it will speed land traffic high above one of She world's busiest and most strategic aealzincs.

For 30 centuries. sluice Phoe- niriar. traders nosed their purple- sailcd galleys from the sheltered Mcditcrrancnn into Lhe open At- lantic. the Gibraltar passage has been I key link in sea commerce.

Completion of the Suel Cam) I the Meditcrrancan's eastern out- let in I869 enormously stepped up the traffic. As commercial and naval flecls shifted to the new global shortcut. the straifx mili- tary value also went I new high. Automatically. its Rock of Gibral- tar sironghold-- in British nands since I704--became a vital station on the empire lifeline.

Through the ages. world inter- est in Gibraltar has focused chief- ly on its use as I channel between mean and sea. Yet. as far back Is the 8th century I northward move- ment of invaders across the strait changed the course of Eumpe'I

destiny and wrote the chapter of "The Rot-kis' history.

The event was the imasion of Spain by the Moors. ulm III 711 fortified the great gray Crag that they called Jcbcl Tarlk. or Hill of Tarik. in honor of the conquering Moorish leader. The name "Gib- latter” for rock and strait is a corruption of the old Arabic phrase.

TWO-CONTINENT ROAD LINK

Today. proponents of the Span- ish bridge point. out that the two- continent span could bring toge- thcr a network of transport lines to stretch eventually from the Bal- ll(' Sea to the tip of South Africa.

Such a union of continents would emphasize the striking structural and climatic similarities between northwest Africa and the lbeiian Peninsula. Cut off from Europe luv the high Pyrenees ranges. Spain mirrors the African pattern of oas- is and desert, windswept plateau and dry. rugged hills that gave rise to the old geographic saying. "Africa begins at the Pyrenees."

The mountains of southerns pain that continue beyond the strait as Afrit-a's Atlas chains were joined long ago in an isthmus there. Then came a great cataclysm of nature that ancients called Herrules' pro- wess.

Whether the mountains cracked in sudden upheaval or slowly dis- integrated no one knows; but the floor of the strait isrelatively shal- low for an oceanic channel. Be- cause of this factor. engineers long have advocated I tunnel under the strait.

The most recent of surli pro- posals was for a novel circular or oblnng tunnel that would carry an endless slirccssirvn of four "cap- sule trains” between Tarifa and the. international zone of Tangier. Posed against the new bridge plan. the tunnel idea is reported to have come out. second best.

No nne is a lnmluuaii if he is in any degree atrnirl of iooks. whe- ther that fear is outspoken. in the

If Bonk Week nltrmplrd in im- nreu those with uill never be im- pressed, ll will serve no lasting purpose But if it may brim: the true book-man of the future into his own. it is blessed. It will have upon it the bcsslng of peace.

For the bookman. the reading of books is not a hectic thing, to be done with little inclination and as I chore, or in competition. in the pathetic bone of keeping up with others. With the books in which he is drawn by alfinilv. by his own choice. unbulllerl hv others. he finds himself. enter: into him- self. and knows the wonder of be- liuz alive.

All this is pictured. with In in- ner understanding. in an essay by the historian. Sir George MacCIul- Iv Trevelyan. It is his essay "on Walking." where he urges the tak- ing of I book for the journey.

"After I-(IIINW walk." he says. "everything has finite its usual value. . . And In With food. In with books. Never um-t nu I walking tour without I book irhtrh you love It in criminal folly to waste your too in hour: of perfect raeqtfvt IIII.

So. the true bookman writes. For only the bookman wants his books on hand. not merely to while away the time, or to catch up with what nther people are talking about, but because he wants to share with his books the hours of his content.

DEEPER SPIIINGS

What the bookman finds In books are the deeper springs of human feeling. and the taste of these waters are always kind and moi to his lips. The inner things. the shades and meanings of liv- ing the new things that are al- unys new. the new things that are also old. the mellowingl of the snirlt. the rnmpanionshlp of those who have walked the way before us and know how we feel in fol- lowing them. all the harmonies and triumphs of the spirit in the midst of understandings Ind Idversitics - Ill those are in books. for he who looks for that which is truly his own, and pays no heed to the outer clamors.
