Seemingly Triumphant

Good Friday and the events leading tip to it arc.indeed a striking picture of the triumph of the forces of evil. The power of an autocratic government was enlisted to bolster unscrupulous religious leaders. The populace was swung to condemn Jesus whom a short time before it had recog- nized as a champion. The disciples had shown lamentable weakness. doing so far as to betray their Lord.

To all intents and pttrposes it seemed that faith and truth and love new defeat- ed. It has seemed so many a time before and since. Evil, injustice. oppression, false- hood seem to ride high while the forces of truth seem to ho weak and lacking in courage. That is not the end of the story. however. Out of defeat came victory. Out of death, life.

It is not easy to avoid discouragement when wrongs are perpetrated and there seems no possibility of their being rightctl. There is the temptation to throw in with the triumphant forces of evil, thc tempta- tion to at least give in when the struggle seems lost.

One message to be learned from this season is that the struggle is never lost. When things look hlackest, when noth-

ing, seeminglv, can overcome the forces of 3 immigration to redress the imbalance be-I

darkness, then comes the l.ord's greatest triumph.

Prorogatlon

A month and two days after the ses- sion commenced the Legislature is being prorogued. The speed with which it has transacted business. for there was a good deal of business gone through. is coni- mendable up to a point. The time of Mem- bers, at. any rate. was not wasted. The House, however. decided against hearing Mr. Speaker ”for greater certainty" re-read the Speech from the Throne and it seems possible that. Members were not sufficiently certain of Government policy to discuss it at great length.

important reports of committees were received dealing with the Parkdalc water supply. C. N. R. bus proposals, and elec- toral reform as well as briefs from the City. the Town of Summerside. the Fed- eration of Agriculture and the Agricultural Council of Prince Edward island. It is a pity that time or inclination did not per- mit a fuller consideration of the matters brought up. Rural electrification. in par- ticular, is considered a pressing matter in large sections of the Province. The Gov- ernment has been given ample authority to deal with it. but has not indicated what policy will be pttrsuctl.

The death of Her Majesty Queen Mary cast a shadow on the session, as on every part of the Commonwealth. The Housr paid fitting tribute in her memory.

Several of the annual reports of the various Government Departmrnts were brought up to date for the legislators.

rather than ending with the financial year a year ago. enabling tiiscus-sirm to be on the basis of up-to-date information. This was also true of the budget. The Provin- 'ial Treasurer. the lion. W. F). Darby pre- sented an otitstnnrling account of his stew- ardship.

Both revenue and expenditure continue to go tip and it is notable that in the past year the Provincial debt showed a reduc- tion for the first time in many years.

Problem in South Africa

Reports from South Africa are that Dr. Malan may be expected to win another vic- tory in the general elections on April 15. He would thus be fortified by a popular mandate to carry through his policy of race segregation and to clothe the govern- ment with emergency powers that would enable it to rule by dccree'if racial troubles increased. It. is being described as not only the most crucial election in South Africa's history but as an event second only in im- portnnce to the South African War in the settlement's 300-year history. it is being called "the election where there is no sec- ond chance." Dr. Malan's prospects of vic- tory have been enhanced, it appears, by the Mm Mau outbreaks in another part of Africa as well as by the civil disobedience campaign: organized by native African and Indiln louder: against the segregation laws. These incidents have served to consolidate

White Africa is afraid. as Eric Robins cabled the Christian Science Monitor. and fear chains together many English and Afrikaans-speaking South Africans who otherwise would be at odds. White Africa also is very largely agreed, according to Mr. Robins, that it is quite out of the question to give the native African the vote: mean the quick reversion of much of the continent to barbarism and would spell the end of European civilization in all Africa. in addition, there is much agreement that lgranting political rights even at its best

twould do little if anything to help the

IAfrican. He needs economic help. He needs land. He needs knowledge. He needs training.

, Many South Afriraits. even those whose lpolicies are least criticized abroad, genuine- lly believe that segregation is necessary and ,humane. They see two South Africa's

Iemerging, one white and one dark, laterl

Iljoincd perhaps in a type of federal union. 'And they see segregation, carried out in Ithis way, as the only policy that will give the African a fair chance to get the econ- Comic help and the education he so urgently needs.

The policy of the United Party, which is the opposition to Dr. Malan's national- ists, is less clear than that of the National- lists, but is now not far away from it on -the race question. The main issue between lthe two is whether or not Dr. Malan is ?using the racial issue to establish a type of dictatorship. lie has been involved in a lconstitutional battle with the South Africa

Isupreme court and seeks in this election to

Iobtain a mandate to establish "the sov- Icreignty of Parliament."

, That might lead to setting up a repub- Ilic, if necessary outside the British Com- Imonwealth. Most British settlers feel I strong ties with Britain and look to further

jtween the blacks and whites. .

i But behind every issue that the million Ivoters have to decide, there stands the foreboding figure of the eight million natives who have no vote to cast.

British aircraft set up two flight re- cords on March 19. A Vickers Viscount turbo-prop passenger plane flew from Zur- .ich, Switzerland, to London (490 miles). in 107 minutes at an average speed of 273 miles an hour, cutting nearly an hour off piston-engine time. (Trans-Canada Airlines has on order 15 Viscount; for use on its domestic runs, particularly in the Mari- times, and a prototype is currently under- going flight and weather tests in Canada). The other speed demonstration was given by Canberra bombers in a "bombing raid” that took them from their English base to Fiirstenfeldlnidck, near Munich, and back again in two hours and 50 minutes-latest type piston-engine boinbers make the trip in 8 hours.

To many people, myself includ- ed, the arrival of the mm Spring flowers is sufficient testimony that life, not. death, is the great. law of the Universe. It also testifies to the fact that. while the longest. life is short when counted in days and months and years, very life can be full of enchantment. The hyacinth dices not stay long in bloom. but who can gauge the wonder and usefulness of its mis- sion to the world? There comes I0 my mind here a. passage in the Koran: "If I had but two loaves 'of bread. I would sell one and buy liyacinths. for they would feed my soul".

It. may be that. our minds are too heavily occupied with the big, history making events that we hear about from time to time. Perhaps we should be better off if we could bring ourselves to use that the whole mystery of life is somewhat. involved in the faith by which a. tender Spring plant con- fronts the world and it. little freshet. sets out to mid the sea.

The min-tiul-minded men who built the cclendiar in substantially the same pattern we have today had other things on their hearts 'besidea the intent. to conquer and rule and the desire to honour emperors and to propitiate the ancient. gods. This. at. any rate, must. be counted to them for good. It would be interesting to know just. what. it. was that persuaded than to give this month the very appropriate name of April. Since the word is from the Latin mean. ing "to open", it is obvious that. they could not have made a better choice.

Evervthiiig in Natures kiiigdom is opening now. The earth itself opens to receive the gentle rains, and soon the last remnant. of frost will have been sc'nt.t.ered. be- fore the warm winds.
