Paris Regalned Yesterday Paris celebrated the 20th anniversary of Liberation Day. inarked by ceremonies at the tomb bf the Unknown Soldier. the placing bf wreaths on memorials, a special "eervice in the Cathedral of Notre Dame. In the evening. floodlit build- ings on the top of the Rue de Rivioli made a backdrop for electric constel- lations and sparkling fountains in the Place de la Concorde. Crowds looking up to the Arc de Triomphe at the top of the Avenue des Champs Elysees saw a tricolor of power- ful beams penetrating far into the night skies above them.

This was the day. two decades ago. when Paris was liberated from the Nazis. But the envelopment of Paris had begun on lhe 19th. The taking over of the entire city was accomplished by a French-American combination of General Leclerc’s 2nd Division and the United States 4th Division. It was August 25 before General Leclerc received the sur- render of the beloved capital from the commander of the German gar- ison.

“The maze through which the Free French and the allies at last came to Paris was tortuous with mistrust," says the Milwaukee Journal in an editorial on the an- niversary. “It. was complicated by partly mistaken allied policies to- ward the spurious Vichy regime against which de Gaulle had to fight. it was spiky with de Gaulle's own re- eentments on behalf of the real France he knew existed. But it led to military victory. The ultimate moral victory—restored unity and revival of the profound mutual sym-

, pathy natural to all the peoples

involved—has yet to be won."

This is very true. It is a thought which comes naturally to mind. tinc- tured with regret at the fresh mis- understandings which have arisen in late months between President de Gaulle and the leaders of the nations which were his wartime allies. notab- ly the United States and Great Bri- tain. Perhaps the emotions engend- ered by yesterday's ceremony will do something to remove these mis- understandings. and pave the way to that “restored unity" which is :0 much to be. desired.

The Farmer's Lot

,_ The Montrealer. a monthly mag- Azine. carries what. it. calls an "un- popular editorial" in its current is- sue on, the subject of our declining flarm population. The writer, Mr. ‘Leslie Roberts. doesn't accept the Essumption that this trend is of no ‘ goncern to the nation's urban dwel- . are. or that they could turn to the United States and be fed—at a ltrice—if all our farmers quit. Uncle .‘ lam. he reminds us. has the same ». iroblem. excepting (like us) his rent midwestern bread basket. The mblem. in short. is general; and unless farming can hr: made more littractive in terms of income and hmin living conditions. “one of ihese days we shall be stuck for 'ieople to raise our food.” The percentage of Canadians cur- , tly engaged in agriculture. notes . a writer. will soon be below ten ’ merit of the working population. It isn’t there already. If you re- " ve the bulk-production. highly ’ eehanised. single crop agriculture Saskatchewan. the country’s have virtually become a

cause the land ballast fta attract. ion for young Canadians. The fact also remains that the country’s urban dwellers depend for their daily sustenance on the compara- tively small group of people who are still content to till the soil—or. if not content, have no other means of livelihood to which they can turn."

The situation is worsened by the fact that too little of the revenue accruing from the food the city dwel- ler eats reaches the man who raised it. Subsides of one kind and another exist in agricultural areas. it is true. but with rare exceptions they have failed to achieve their intend- ed effect. It begins to appear that there is no alternative but a new kind of direct government interven- tion in agriculture.

The Montreal writer doesn't pro- fess to have a solution to the prob- lem. but he insists that “farming, here in the east. has to be made as attractive. in terms of income. to provide a decent way of life, as it is out on the prairies.”

This tells our farmers nothing they didn't know before. but the comments are interesting as reflect- ing a more enlightened view on farm problems than one frequent- ly finds in metropolitan publica» tions.

Sidelrackecl Again The Canada Pension Plan will have to wait: and for this further delay, at least. it will be hard for Liberal strategists to put the blame

; on Opposition Leader Diefenbaker.

This was made apparent in the House of Commons last week. when NDP veteran Stanley Knowles ap- pealed to Prime Minister Pearson to expedite parliamentary action on the plan. He pointed out that the resolution hadn’t yet reached the order paper and that if it were plac- ed there “the desire of Members to get to that might shorten the flag debate."

Mr. Pearson said flatly that the Commons would be asked to deal with the pension plan as soon as possible "after the flag resolution is settled." .

It was here that Mr. Diefenbaker entered the discussion, asking for assurance that once the flag measure was disposed of, the pen- sion legislation would be proceeded

'with before Parliament adjourned

for a late summer recess. If such an assistance were forthcoming, he said, “we will be behind him on the pension legislation 100 per cent." Mr. Pearson, however, insisted

I that the flag measure and the recess

must come first. Only then would the pension measure be placed be- fore Parliament. Then he went on to

2 charge. once again, that the Conser-

vatives were perpetrating a “fill- buster” to prevent the flag measure from reaching a vote.

It’s all rather bewildering to the pubic. which was led to believe in the last federal campaign that the Canada Pension Plan was of para- mount concern to the country.

Cause For Concern One of the reasons why Can-

adians are so much concerned about the political campaign of Senator Goldwater is the pressure it is caus-

. ing to increase restrictions on Can-

adian exports south of the border. There is nothing imaginary about the fears which our exporters enter- tain in this regard. Senator Gold- water has said that business in the United States has been insufficient- ly protected by the present admin- istration. and he has voted con- sistently against moves for trade liberation.

Under these circumstances Pres- ident Johnson may, for the duration of the election campaign. find it hard to resist protectionist demands. without playing into Goldwater’h hands. New restrictions on meat ex- ports. for example, could seriously affect Canada. perhaps to the ex- tent of $6,000,000 worth a year. And the new import quotas on meat have been approved by the Sen- ate. The only hope of defeating the measure may lie in the use by Mr. Johnson of his presidential veto.

Mr. Johnson used this veto in January, to kill a bill that would have increased difficulties for the export of Canadian lumber. At the some time he spoke of his desire to cultivate better relations with this country. But it would prove far harder to veto such It bill now. Until the election is over. Canada can expect to feel increased protect- ionist pressures

CAUSE FOR ALARM

What Greece & Turkey Can’t Forget

There is one influence lh at may yet bring the governments of Greece and Turkey into an agreement over Cyprus. despite the disturbing withdrawal of their forces from the NATO command. Both nations m ay find a bond of mutual alarm over the readiness of the Greek Cypriots to deal with Russia and to welcome Russian support.

The Associated Press reports that “in Nicosia Greek Cypriou greeted joyfully a Soviet offer of help... and President Makarios was under pressure to fly to Moseow immediately to start negotiations."

"Now that there is self- rule on Cyprus. Greece as well as Tul— keyl is faced with the possibility that Makarios may bring about Russian intervention. He h as already acted apart from Greece. as when he broke hi.) agreement. with the Greek Gov- ernment and attacked Turkish positions on Cyprus without prior consultation. He could also deal with Russia without con- sulting Greece.

TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

I have been very impres- sed with the attractions avail- able for tourists. There is. how- ever. an obvious lack of public transpr 'iatlon. This may not serious ' ace the motorized tourist from the provinces of Canada and the U.S.. but is a grave disadvantage to coming from overseas and rely- ing on plane. train or bus.

It is not even possible to trav- el by bus from Charlottetown to the North Shore beach as Rail connections to and from the Island are hopelessly Inade- quate. on the basis of one train a day: and even coming by plane from Halifax on Sunday (supposedly the fast way for a

Sir.—— Having returned from an “Island holiday" a few thlngs stand out in my mind. As far as traffic is concerned. 'It came as a dlsillualon that even the Island has its Speeders. Moreover. try- ing to find ona's way lhrou Charlottetown. which is quite tricky for a stranger. one heard car horns blowing frequently. Wondering whether one was breaking traffic rules. one be- came hesitant. 1' some time one rea lead that car horns are blown in Charlottetown to greet friends andnelghbors. as wall as or lrefflcl

The ferry service loses 13de of its attractions on accmf of the long waiting periods. Once we waited for two horn-s. Once we waited for longer. Nobody knows when a boat will come or go. and there are few greeting smiles from the alaff when one finally does belong to the elect t'iat gel on!
