Ccroum Jewels V. Stone of Sooilo.

The disappearance of the Stone of Scone from the Coronation Throne in Westmin- ster Abbey is as mysterious as, though probably less sensational than. the disap- pearance of the Irish Crown Jewels from Dublin Castle in the eighties. The Earl of Aberdeen was then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and during a visit of his eldest son, Lord Haddo, and some college friends, it was discovered the Jewellery Cabinet in the Castle had been broken into and the prec- ious Crown Jewels stolen. At first it was surmised that Haddo and his chums were, for a lark, responsible for the disappear- ance and that they would be returned in due course, but investigation by Scotland Yard cleared the students of all suspicion. Every endeavour was made to discover the culprits but without avail, and to this- day no trace has been found of the heirlooms or of the thieves who stole them. At the time it was suggested that some members of the Home Rule Party were responsible, and that the disappearance of the jewels were not unconnected with that movement. Sim- ilarly today blame is being attached to the Scottish Home Rulers for responsibility for the disappearance. It is to be hoped the police will be more successful in discover- ing the historic Scone Stone than they were of Ireland's equally precious Crown Jewels.

ll. ll. Ami Korea

The Korean situation as outlined in the agenda of the General Assembly of the United Nations, is thus summed up by the Winnipeg Free Press:

The first item concerns the interven- tion of Communist China in Korea. Moved by Cuba. Ecuador, France, Norway, Britain and the United States, this is the six-power resolution under which China's aggression has been debated. On December 7 the Committee voted to give this item priority in discussion. To do this, it voted to post- pone furlhcr debate on Russials charge that the United States has committed an act of aggression against Communist China. The committee then voted on December 12 to give priority to the cease-

. fire resolution moved by 13 countries in Asia and the Middle East.

The next item is a resolution, again sponsored by the United States, Britain, Norway, France, Ecuador and Cuba assur- ing China that her frontier with Korea will be fully respected and calling upon Chinese troops to withdraw from Korea.

The third item is a Russian resolution which asks that all foreign troops be with- drawn immediately from Korea and that the settlement of the Korean question he left to the Korean people themselves.

The fourth item is a 12-power resolu- tion moved by Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pak- istan, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen. The resolution urges that the representatives of certain governments "shall as soon as pos- sible meet and make recommendations for the peaceful settlement of existing issues in accordance with the purposes and prin- ciples of the United Nations." Sir Benegal Rau, of India, who introduced the resolu- tion, suggested that the Governments should be those of France, Britain, the United States. Russia, Egypt, India, and Communist China.

The fifth item is a Russian resolution which requests the Security Council "to take the necessary steps to ensure the immediate cessation of aggression against China by the United States of America." On November 24 Communist China was in- vited to take part in the discussion on this item. Mr. Vishinsky on November 27 pre- sented; Russia's case. The Chinese Com- munist representative, Mr. Wu, sat with the Committee but did not speak. Mr. Dulles, for the United States, replied briefly and askedfor a delay of 24 hours to prepare a more detailed answer. .

The committee did not sit again until December 7 because of conflicting meetings between the Security Council and General Assembly. On that day, as already indicat- ed, the Committee decided, against Rus- sia's objection, to give priority to the pro- bl m of China's.inoervention in Korii Mr. W .claims that he hartiius been denied the right tg speak. '

I The next lltem,---sponsored by the

rfumlaams, too, concerns the "question of .,,. :-

”''IhrCommittec, at the request

ber 15 to the bottom of the agenda.

Finally, there is Russia's complaint of United States violation of Chinals air space and bombing of Chinese territory. The order of this item on the agenda still has to be fixed as it reached the political com- mittee only on December 1. The Commit- tee voted 50-5 on December 18 to defer de- bate on all other items until the next re- port of the group trying to arrange a cease-fire in Korea.

American plans to quadruple air power in three years indicate that if similar pro- grammes are put into effect in all dem- ocratic countries the danger of Commun- ist aggression would then be nil.

Immigration is in a bad way just now with the numbers coming from the United Kingdom in the first nine months of 1950 down 46 per cent below last year and all others down 28 per cent. The provision that the Canadian Government will pay all but S160 of an immigrant's fare by T.C.A. is a move in the right direction, but the problem will require even more decisive

George Robert Gissing, English novelist of the realistic school, died this date 1903. Typical works are ”Demos”, "The Unclas- sed", "The Nether World", ”New Grub Street", ”The Odd Women", all depicting the sordid monotony of lower middle class and working class life. ”The Private Pa- pers of Henry Rycroft", to some extent autobiographical, show Gissing in a brighi- er mood; he wrote also an appreciation of Charles Dickens. His own story is told by Morley Roberts in "The Private Life of Henry Maitland-”

Evidently from present accounts Char- lottetown is to miss out in the prekwar pre- parations. On the last occasion, after much negotiation, the city was asked to, and did, provide accommodation for R. A. F. train- ees. The quarters erected for that purpose have been torn down or removed, and now if we are to have a share in the present activities we shall have to begin all over again. It is up to the Government and City Council to get together and to. see that the Capital of the Province is not ignored by the powers-that-be at Ottawa.

RECOLLECTIONS

Slr.- It. is hard for our older citiz- ens who happen to be passing through Havlland street after dark to realize the architectural changes that have taken place. On the northwest corner stood the huge warehouse of Owen mnnolly, a merchant prince of those days. Then we came to the large wooden structure with its turret and gillicfi cross, housing the beloved women of the Sisters of Charity, known as the religious order of the Grey Nuns of Quebec. whose hospital took care of the sick of all faiths. Adjoining the hospital was the residence of the widow of Owen Connolly, a woman who retained many of the qualities found in her native Ireland. A familiar sight. of that era was her horse-drawn car- rinse and ocachman taking her to dispense gifts to the poor.

Where the impressive entrance of the Ohaxlottetown Hospital stands today, formerly stood the coachhouse and private stable of the Hon. Daniel Davies. On the corner of Water and Haviland streets was a large residence which the United States Government leased from the Lowden Estate for over a quarter of a century. for residential and office quarters for their Consul. Today this building is the United Services Officers Club.

On the southern end of I-Iavlland Street stood Connolly's Wharf, with its many warehouses full of exports to the West Indies and Now Eng- land -ports as well as to ports in the British Isles Practically all the ships were sailing vessels. and on their return voyage they came loaded directly to the port of Char- lottetorwn.

Just southeast of this wharf stood the boyhood home of Can- ada's great statesman, the late sir Louis Henry Davies.

THE IDIMIGBATION PROBLEM

Sir,-.A story in your news-col- umns of Dec. 14 Guardian speaks in realistic fashion of the need for more people in this Dominion.

d of the recently-announced -plan by Immigration Minister -"Harris. under which "prospective emigrants from Europe could book an air pasage from the United Kingdom to Canada at a cost to themselves of not more than 5160- the equivalent of a. tourist-class pasage by sea." It was also indic- died that the regular air fare from Britain to Montreal is s2&i.- 25, and that. under the new plan the government will reimburse T. C.A. to make up the difference on all bookings.

The above arrangement may be considered a step in the right. dir- ecilon, at least to the extent that it accents present needs for thousands of skilled and semi- skillcd workers. and indicates the fact brouglhi forward in the open- lng lines of the above Ottawa item, l.c.. "immigration authorities are deeply concerned about the de- cllne in the flow of immigrants from Europe."

On the other hand. it is not overly encouraging to note that "In the nine months ended Sept. 30 the number coming from all countries was 54.50 compared with 78,149 in the first nine months of 1949"; and that "The number from the United Kingdom declined 46 per cent." as against a decline of 28 per cent in the number of emi-

The bride chose a gown of white satin, with an heirloom veil of lace and net. Her bouquet was of white fall flowers with green leaves accent. Matron of honor was Mrs. Norma Laws and the bridesmaids were Miss Patricia Mills, Miss Sandra Mallabar and Miss Nancy Mallabar. Their gowns were of coral copper taffeta with matching hat. with coq feathers. They carried yuiiow and copper flowers. Jack Blrkenshaw was best man and ushers were Jack Farquharson, Doug.

grants from all countries during that same period? I am wondering if we really mean what we say when we call for a stepped-up immigration pol- icy? If we are in earnest on this target, I would like to see us, so to speak, 'keep our feet on the ground' in awemptlng to really deepen the inflow of immigrants. I realize. of course, that. the above T.C.A. subsidy plan may as- sist in the filling of emergent labor needs. and that the assist- ahce' of 3123.25 per passenger in- volves something like the move- ment of that sum from one gov- ernment pocket into another. On the other hand. this reader is con- vinced that this air 'plan' only touches tme outer fringe of the problem; cannot be continued in- definitely, nor begin to win us anything like an adequate or ap- propriato immigration flow. In the circumstances. a somewhat similar gesture-even if ui: much more modest levels-to the Steam- shin lines operating between uk. and Canadian ports. might be oun- sidered socially desirable mad economically constructive. we could do. it seems to me. with a 1950 model of Sir Clifford sifton's colorful technique.
