I. P. Ii. Activities

The Canadian public should be on theii guard against any propaganda emanating from an organization known as the Insti- tute of Pacific Relations, which has been under recent investigation by the United States Senate. One of the documents pro- duced at the inquiry was a letter written by Edward C. Carter, secretary-general of the Institute, to the present Canadian De- fense Minister, Hon. Brooke Claxton. Mr Claxton had apparently been requesting aid in getting speakers for the Canadian Club of Montreal. Carter's letter, dated Oct. 31, 1938, had suggested several speakers, and added: "If the Canadian Club can stand the general secretary of the Communist Party in the United States, Earl Browdcr would give you an exceedingly interesting. pleasant and provocative, but really import- ant statement on the Roosevelt administra- tion either from the point of view of its internal or its foreign policy. He is really very well informed and, contrary to the public view, is 100 per cent American. ' Mr. Claxton, however, was not impressed. "I am afraid,” he replied, "that Mr. Brow- der is out of the question for the pigpose. What we want to get is a very respectable defender of your president. Is there one?"

Mr. Carter himself denied having ever been a Communist, and stated that the I. P. R. did not follow the Communist pro- gram. Some interesting correspondence. however, was produced from Owen Latti- more, one-time State Department consult- ant and now a Johns Hopkins University professor, advising Carter how to support Russia's international policy "without using their slogans.”

The following excerpts from this corre- spondence are quoted by the Associated Press: . t -

"For China, my hunch is that it wii pay to keep behind the official Communist position-far enough not to be covered by the same label-but enough ahead of the active Chinese liberals to be noticeable.

"For the U.S.S.R., back their interna- tional policy in general, but without using their slogans and above all without giving them or anybody else an impression of 'sub- servience'."

The letter also said:

"For Japan, on the other hand, hang back so as not to be inconveniently ahead of the Japanese liberals, who cannot keep up, whereas the Chinese liberals can."

Another excerpt:

"For the British-scare the hell out of them, always in a polite way, but usually in a way that looks as if it might turn im- polite. The British liberal groups are badly flustered; and being British. the way to en- courage them to pull themselves together is to fluster the Tories." .

Educational Travel .

That travel is broadening is as true as it is trite. Young people may learn in their school books a great many facts about places far from home but it is a very im- ginative child indeed who can come to re- ard them as anything more substantial an the Never-Never Land.

A visit, however brief, brings a sense of reality. The British schoolboys who sail for this country from Liverpool today will have an enjoyable trip but, more important, Canada will for them become a .reality. Everything they afterwards learn of this country can be grafted on to what they have seen and heard and experienced in person.

The value of such real education can hardly be exaggerated. The world today, and the Commonwealth in particular, needs to be known and understood. Otherwise lock of such imderstahdihg would lead to private and also government attitudes and actions which totally ignore the existence and individuality of other countries.

beef prices to turn dairy cattleto the' beef market. Meanwhile, agricultural officials are quietly probing world markets to find out just how much butter could be ob- tained in the event the Cabinet gave them authority to purchase.

Talks already have been held with New Zealahd officials. Canada obtained about 5,000,000 pounds of New Zealahd buttei during the shortage last winter. .

New Zealand made it clear Canada could get about three or four times that much, but that she might have to pay a slightly higher price than that prevailing a year ago. So far no firm decision on the N. Z. butter has been taken.

"No let-up" must be the policy in Korea while the possibility of an armistice is being explored. The Reds would take any slackening as a sign of weakness and the lives saved would be clearly paid for later.

It is significant that electric power and good transportation are mentioned by the prospective organizer of a floor machine plant in Kensington. The rapid improve- ment of both in many parts of this Prov- ince opens up opportunities which did not even exist a few years ago.

The National Hog and Poultry Confer- ence in Ottawa today and tomorrow, or- ganized by the Canadian. Eederation of Agriculture, has many important tasks. None of them, probably. are more import- ant to the industry here than the retention of compulsory rail grading of hogs, the only basis on which the superior quality of the Island product can command the prem- ium to which it is entitled.

It is all but impossible to get ahead of the Soviets in propaganda. i The British Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Morrison) challenged the Moscow daily "Pravda" to publish an article from him on the United Nations' attitude with regard to Sovietism "Pravda" accepted the challenge provided Mr. Morrison would arrange for the pub- lication of Pravdals reply, to which he agreed. Now the United Nations' attitude and arguments have been published in one Moscow paper only. whereas the Soviet's side has been printed broadcast in almost the entire English speaking Press in the United Kingdom, the United States and in the Commonwealth papers, including Cah- ada's.

The importance of Albertals livestock industry today is indicated by the fact that more than 5.500.000 acres of provincial land (including Special Areas) is provided for community pastures and grazing leases These acreages offer grazing land for cattle, horses and sheep. and enable small holders to participate in mixed farming by sum- mer grazing. While providing this service to Alberta farmers the government also has provided an example in conservation through strict methods of grazing. By lim- iting the number of stock, overgrazed land has been improved, and careful manage- ment of other areas has prevented destruct- ion of land by stripping it of prairie grass.

For every 500 people in Scotland in 1931 there are now 526. This fact was given by Mr. Hector McNeil, M.P., Secre- tory of State, when he revealed that on "Census Day" on April 8 Scotland's total population was 5,095,969. This is the high- est population recorded at any census in Scotland and is an increase of 253,000 on the 1931 total. Scotland's loss by migra- tion since 1931 is estimated at 220,000 which compares with a net loss by mi- gration in the previous decades of the century of: 1901-11, 254.042; 1911-21, 238,- 587; and 1921-31, 391,903. The period since 1931 has been an unusual one. in the first half of it, and indeed undl after the war. there was an inward balance of

. migration to Scotland from overseas. The

normal outward trend has. however, beer.

resumed since the war.

"A Ploughing Match. 9. Fair and Cattle show, all undzr the superintendence and inspection of the Central Agricultural Society. have been held at Charlottetown or its immediate vicinity, in the course of the present week The Ploughtng Match took place on 'f'uesday.on the Farm at Brighton Lodge. in a field admirably ad- apted for the purpose. The prizes were three in number, and we were surprised to see that there were only six competitors. Messrs. James Sample, John Ferguson and Charles Hsszard were the judges. vtho, after a careful inspection of the work. awarded the premiums as follows: lst prize. 40:. to Thos. Drummond. Princctown Road; 2nd Prize, 1305. to Charles Woolner. Rustlco; 3rd Prim. 205. to Char- les Howard. York River.

"On Wednesday. being the dnv of the Fair. the Town presented as very animated appearance. The weather was exceedingly fine, and from the number of persons pre- sent. it would appear as if the whole surrounding districts had entirely denuded themselves of their population. Never, indeed. it was frequently remarked. were so many human beings ever at one time assembled in Charlotte- town on any previous occasion: and all being dressed in their holiday attire gave to the scene a peculiarly gay as well as bustling appearance.

"A portion of Queen Square was rolled off and formed into s tem- porary enclosure for horses. neat cattle. sheep and swine. and the number of animals produced was considerable. We understanc that n. great many sales were effected. although not certainly so many as had been anticipated, nor did the prices that were obtalnedwlth r. few exceptions. realize the ex- pectations of the sellers. The first prizes offered by the society for the best. description of stock were awarded as follows: best entire colt, 3 yrs. old. Andrew coffin. savage Harbour: best. filly. Hon- J. S. Macdonald: best. bull, 2 to 4 yrs. old. W. W. Irving. Bonshaw; best. heifer. Frederick 6. Good- man: best. long woolled ram, George Tweedlc: best long wool- led ewe. James Miller: best. short woolled ram. Andrew 'Dl'ncw: best short wooiled ewe. Gentle Beer: best boar and sow. George Ooles.

"Among the vegetables exhibit- ed was s cabbage of the drum- head kind. weighing Went? pounds. raised by Mr. Georse Weldon. of this town. several large squnshes and pumpklnswere also shown--among the former were two. raised by Mr. Thom” Pethlck. which weighed respect- ively llll and 100 lbs. and mess- ured. the one six feet. three inch- es. and the other five feet. fen inches. in circumference. A cu- cumber wss this season raked in the garden of Mr. Elisha H0090?- nedeque. from seed procured from the Hon. Mr. Llvstt. sown in I cold bed in the first week of June. of the following dimensions- iength, 23 iii in.. circumference. fills in.. weight. ii iii lbs.'

But the women, bless them. were different. They prided ” '

on their tiny tootsles. They took the attitude it. was almost indecent to have large feet. if they were so unfortunate. they willingly would suffer torture and torment to compress their feet into shoot a size too snail for them. But now they seem proud of their feet. They display not only their insteps but their toes sad heels. The fact that a young woman has long loss. or big heels. seems no deterrent to this fashion. It's not that their feet have much, if any. sex appeal. It is just that women have decided the human foot is not so unattrac- tive ss once thought. That. the feet are half an inch. or an inch longer than the former norm does not disturb them. - Windsor Star.

That list of projects. accordinv to Dr. Valdmahls, makes 1950- 1951 a year of miracles for New foundland. History bears him out.

For nearly 400 years after John Cabot discovered the island in 1497. the only industry was fish- ing. In 1895 small iron mines were opened. Since then. two paper mills and some mines for copper-lend-zinc and fluorspar were about the only additions to Newfoundland'n economic arm- ory. Fishing remains the No. 1 industry. -employing more than 30.000. of the province's 321,819 population. v
