('TlIe Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink". i;uaiu.o'r'rI:'row"N. WEDNESDAY, NOV. I9, 1952

Archbishop Mcllally

The late Archbishop McNally was one of Prince Edward Island's most distinguished sons, and one of the most outstanding members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy on this continent. It is noted in his obit- uary that during his years in Calgary he established more than forty parishes, and these activities covered but one period of a long life filled with great achievements.

Renowned as a. builder, scholar, admin- istrator and spiritual leader, his passing will be sincerely mourned by many thous- ands of our Canadian citizens. Those who were privileged to know him in his earlier years in his native Province are now com- pziratively few. but his name has been a household word with us for generations; and the devotion with which he pursued his high calling, and the example he set in all things worthy of emulation, will pre- serve his memory for generations yet to come.

The Wood islands Service

The need of a new and more commod- ious ferry for the Wood Islands-Caribou service has long been realized, and has been advocated not only by the operating com- pany but by our Boards of Trade, Provin- rial Government and other bodies as well. As indicated in today's news columns, 'a delegation representing the company lS meeting again with the Maritime Commis- sion at: Ottawa next week to discuss this important matter, in the hope and expecta- tion of obtaining some concrete action. Since April, 1951, when the proposal for. a new boat was placed before the Commis- sion, traffic on the existing ferries has in- creased tremendously. This year to date shows an increase of 1,700 vehicles over

the 1951 figures. '

Italy 11.0. The U.K. was also our major flour market. Next in line were the Philip- pine Islands, buying 4.9 million bushels; followed by Venezuela. 3.1; Italy, 2.6; Trini- dad, 2.4; Cuba, 2.1; and Syria, 2.0 million bushels. These are a few of the 72 coun- tries that imported flour from Canada dur- ing the last crop year.

Belgium and Luxembourg ranked high in the Canadian total trade picture last year. Domestic exports to them went up by 42 per cent to the total of 094,500,000 and imports gained 72 per cent to a. total of S39,100,000. Belgium takes from Can- ada primarily foodstuffs and raw materials. Exports of wheat and other grains increas- ed last year. Imports from that country take in a wide range of goods, chiefly in- dustrial materials and manufactures.

Fifth in the Canadian total trade pic- ture was Australia last year, which showed an improvement of 38 per cent over 1950. A severe foreign exchange shortage in Australia following the decline in wool prices towards the end of 1951 resulted in a sharp curtailment of dollar imports this year.

Brazil was sixth in Canadals total trade picture last year, jumping to S40,600,000, or 44 per cent above the 1950 level. Our sales to that country showed an even great- er gain to reach 053,700,000 or 3.4 times the 1950 total. Iron and its products, non- ferrous metals and products and agriculture and vegetable products were the main groups in the increased exports. Imports from Brazil are chiefly natural products such as coffee, manila, sisal, rice and vege- table oils. A

was Japan. Our experts to that country due to its stepped up post-war production rose by 255 per cent over their 1950 level. Imports, on the other hand, totalled only S12,600,000 or four per cent above the 1950 value. Wheat and other grains and in- dustrial materials made up the bulk of our exports to that Oriental country. Gener-

products were lower in 1951 than in 1950, while imports of most other items expand- ed. But the total of these imports was distributed over many commodities, and im- ports of most were small.

France, the Federation of Malaya, Italy and the Union of South Africa were rank- ing countries in the Canadian trade pic- ture last year.

If the companys application is" granted at this time, it will require a year and a half to construct a new boat, and in the meantime it is necessary that temporary measures be taken to relieve the traffic congestion which is bound to occur next year -under existing conditions. This mat- ter also will doubtless be presented in a strong light at next week's meeting with the Maritime Commission. This body, as emphasized in the report of the Tourgeon Royal Commission on Transportation, has been set up to deal with such matters, and in the words of the report, the determin- ln'g factor is whether the.expense is war- ranted ”by public necessity and conven- ience". Surely there can be no legitimate argument on this point! Not only from the tourist standpoint. but from. that of providing for the steadily increasing truck traffic in farm commodities, the Wood 15- lands service is essential to our transporta- tion needs. and the long overdue improve- ments in the service should be pushed for- ward as speedily as possible.

Canada's Many customers

The visit to Canada of Britainls For- eign Secretary, Mr. Eden, serves to, high- light the importance to both countries of maintaining profitable trade relations. To Britain this question is of paramount concern, and as Mr. Eden points out, she must sell Canada more in. order to buy more. In the meantime, stat- lstlcians are finding significance in the fact that 1951 was the first year since the .war that the combined share of Jhe United Kingdom and the United States in Canada's trade did not increase. This re- sulted from the much greater exports to Europe, Latin America and Japan, while Europels share in Canada's imports was also greater. Brazil is now Canada's third market, while Japan is fourth and Belgium

'3 is lnhfifth place. Latin American countries are buying nearly double the commodities

from Canada this year that they purchas- ed in. 1951. In size the Latin American market is about a third of the United King- dom markbt for Canadian goods. We are also building up markets in south Africa, in. the new state of Indonesia, and in spite of difficulties our markets in

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Summerside school board is show- ing a commendable interest in Prince County education in calling a meeting to discuss the matter of a regional high school. Students of the Town already enjoy the advantages to be considered for the Ken-

sington, Summerside, Borden area. 0

Maritime Central Airways' new sched- uled Saturday flight from Moncton to Goose Bay and return brings the import- ant Labrador centre very close to tbs Province. Both producers and workers stand to gain by the improved transporta- tion service.

The Indian delegation's proposal at the U. N. that prisoners of war in Korea should neither be forcibly repatriated nor held againsttheir will has much to com- mend it. The question is whether it actual- ly will commend itself to the respective parties and then what disinterested powel or powers can be agreed upon to suPeI'V159 the separation of the willing from the un- willing repatriates.

From time immemorial seamen, partic- ularly in naval',ships, carried out their duties more often than not exposed to the elements. It has taken the threat of atomic warfare to usher in the fully deck- ed ship which can be navigated and fought without the crew being exposed. Fourteen Canadian built frigates will soon follow the converted British destroyer H. M. S. Rocket to be operated from 'tween decks.

Important Issue

(Winnipeg Free Press)

It. is remarkable how quickly the people of the free world have grasped the vital importance of the issue which, temporarily at least. has wrecked the armistice negotiations in Korea.

The United Nations armies have captured a large number of Chin- ese Communists troops. A subst- antial proportion of these Chinese Communist prisoners-of-war have refused to be sent back to. Com-

to be repatriated.

This is ii. fact which is difficult to grasp. It. would be completely incredible that a Canadian sold- ier captured by the enemy, would not wish to be returned home as quickly as possible.

These Chinese prisoners-of-war. obviously. fear that they would be murdered or severely punished by their own government if it could lay hands upon them, which is a fairly good indication of the kind of government that exists in China.

But. from the viewpoint of the United Nations, the problem is not one of abstract theory but of great practical importance. It is much larger than the fate of these particular prisoners in Korea. If the U. N. forced these prisoners to return to China, it. would great,- ly lessen the chances of capturing prisoners from the Communists in future. Once the Communists had demonstrated that they could re- cover and punish, with death it they so pleased, all P hi soldiers who were captured - there would in future be no pur- pose In surrendering.

It is therefore, against our own vital interests as well as all con- siderations of humanity. to com- ply with thls Communist demand. The point is so obvious that it re- quires no argument.

Two public statements in past few days are to be mended: - ,

Hon. 1.. 3. Pearson, Miirrlster of Internal Affairs and president. of the present U. N. General As- sembly, said at New York that: "The voluntary repatriation of prisoners in Korea cannot be be- trayed." That II to say. no pric- oner should be repatriated against his will. . '

A few days earlier: Mr. Adlai Stevenson." the Democratic can- didate for President put it thin way. "We have snorted. Ind we shall maintain it. that whenever communist soldiers choose free- dom um: falling into our hand: they are free. .

Ancient Seeds

(Globe And Mail)

After one year of germination and growth. a lotus seed which had lain under eighteen feel: of earth cover for two thousand years produced a. healthy bloom. Dr. Ichlro 0hga,' Japan's lotus expert, says it was quite a flower, "but no different from the lotuses of to- day."

What may be more important for today is the fact. that the un- clent seed produced 3. flower which is no different from its an- cestral blooms of two thousand years ago. There is something greatly reassuring in that. We have some idea. of how many kinds of seeds have reproduced, them- selves through all the generations of two millennla. But here is one which lay dormant; beneath the accumulating silt. of twenty cen- turies and yet conserved its vital- sprouted and bloomed

How many more of them may there be? Not many, perhaps, in the vegetable kingdom. But prob- ably an lncnlculable number if the inquiry. is extended to include lost seeds of wisdom. We do not know, for instance, how the Greek language was pronounced in the days of Aristophanes, well over two thousand years ago. We know how he thought and wrote, for the texts of his plays have been pre- served. But. as speech is the prime asset of an actor, have we lost. a valuable seed in the field of dra- matic performance through not knowing how mime and movement wcie governed by the speech of his actors?

And how were the songs of an- clent. Israel sung, the psalms as well as the lainentntlqhsf If we could find those lost seeds of art would we find” an unchanged enus-or varieties modified by the Burbanks of music? We have less doubt about the development of ideas-but only of some ideas -through the ages as the result of endless examination accompan- ied by the gradual expansion of human consciousness. How many seeds of thought have been lost: in the deep layers of past time-and would they produce bloom of "lotus-like beauty for our guidance and pleasure today?

Perhaps they would serve to car- not some of o vanities. They could chow us w at. we have lost, as well as what we have gained, by changing the face of the earth. by conquering space and time. More likely, they would show us that time is still the conqueror. and that we still are immature gropeis with not so much stability as Dr. Ohgnfs lotus need.
