In The Public Interest

It is to be hoped

. 79 . -c 4.

M-was-. ...

Wednesday night's meeting attend-

ed by the Local Employment Advis-

ory Committee and representatives

of the Charlottetown City Council,

the Board of Trade, and a number of service clubs. But. whatever the

results may be, and whether they be big or small, the meeting itself was in the public interest and a sign of recognition of the fact that unem- ployment is a problem of general concern. It may be.true that a cer- tain amount of unemployment in the winter months is inevitable; but that is no reason why we should all sit back and let it take its course. an attitude that has been far too widespread in the past. It is now up to all citizens, who are in a position to do anything to help matters, to carry the enthusiasm ovidenced in Wednesday night's discussions into the various phases of business and indtutry. The Provincial Govern- ment, it may be assmned, will co- operate bl every way possible.

The suggestion made by Mr.

Charles Boylan of Souris that a trade school be established for the

ta-ailning of fillleters ibquired in the

expanding fisheries of the eastern

part of the Island deserves most careful and sympathetic consider- ation by Provincial autlhorilties. As Mr. Boylan pointed out, there would seem to be no good reason why out- side-rs should halve to be brought in to do this skilled work. The S80,000 these imported technicians take out of the Province represent an un- necessary economic drain; the rela- tive lnallness of the amount is neither here nor there. With a little training, Islanders could do the work just as well; and the cost of such training would surely be in- oonsiderablo in comparison with its long term benefits. The-same situa- tion exists with respect to operation of fish-finding facilities. Mr. Boy- Ian stated that only a few of the 'draggers can use these facilities. for the simple reason that there are -not enough trained men to operate them.

Here are two instances where training facilities might be expected to pay their way in increased em- ployment at good wages. There may be others. It is only right that they should be explored thoroughly and discussed from every angleuand, where practicable, given govern- mental guidance and assistance.

Legislative Affairs

"As announced by Premier Math- eson, the Provincial Legislature will meet on February 21 next, which is

,somewhat later than last year but still earlier than in years gone by, under the old accounting system when the fiscal year closed with the calendar year and there was a rush to get the annual reports prepared in time for a March-April session. The old system had its advantages. but the new one provides more time for preparation of reports and is co-ordinated with the system fol- lowed at Ottawa and bythe other Provinces. ,

The Government will have the largest following in the House this year since the Lea-Campbell ad- ministration, which went in with in full complement of thirty members. It represented, no doubt, a great Liberal-victory at the polls but it proved top-heavy without an Op position and eventually some of the more independent members formed a sort of unofficial Opposition of

;their own. Under the present setup

there will bethree Cmposltlon mem-

;bers in the House under the expert-

I-while the other two members are snowmen tlloyshould be able to give

rrom rremter Matheson and his col- leagues in obtaining information and in every way consistent with the practice under our party sys- tem. The Premier has shown on other occasions a reasonable attitude to- wards criticism and a recognition of the essential role it plays under our parliamentary system. He would be well advised to ”lean backwards” in this respect in dealing with the rem- nant of the Opposition. They do, after all, represent a much larger proportion of the electorate than their numbers in the House indi- cate; and in any event, now that the election is over, partisan politics can well be forgotten for a couple of years at least. We may be carrying coals to Newcastle in tendering this advice, for we have reason to be- here that it fully reflects the Prem- ic1"s own viewpoint. In any case, it Is worth emphasizing as the best way in which the new Legislature can serve the interests of all our people. The new tax proposals to be out- lined by Prime Minister St. Laurent to the Provincial Premier: have not yet been divulged, but no doubt they will provide material for full dis- cussion during the coming session, .both at Ottawa and locally. Finan- ces are undoubtedly the biggest problem our Provincial Government is faced with, and it is important that we not only retain the federal revenues we now enjoy under the tax rental agreements, but that they be increased to meet our ex- panding requirements. In his New Year's message Premier Matheson dealt optimisti- cally with our prospects provin- cially, part icualrly in the processing of our dairy products and in the fishery a n d tourist industries. These matters too will doubtless be fully discussed when the House meets. it should not be an unduly long session, and members should, where possible, avoid the temptation of protracting it by long speeches. They will not be expected to imitate Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Speech, the most famous he ever gave, which could be transcribed on a postcard; but the Lincoln example isn't a bad one to keep in mind, not only because ofgits brevity, but for the meat and marrow it contained.

The West German Government may refuse to have anything to do with Communism, u Chancellor Adenauer stated some time ago; but it is evident that the Communists are interested i-n West Germany.

Doubtless, its all in the point of view. An official of the United States Chamber of Commerce says of the recent merger of the two great labor unions: ”It could lead to government by labor unions." John L. Lewis, the mining boss, calls it "a rope of sand". The two chicf labor leaders, George Meaney and Walter Reuther, say it is "an instrument of economic justice" with no political ambitions what-

In his New Year's message the Prime Minister of Canada. in speak- ing of the many blessings Cans divans enjoy, noted that "another year has passed without mankind being plunged into the unimagin- able horrors and destruction of unl- versal war". It is a sad commentary on 20th century civilization that avoidance of war from one year to another is looked upon by the lead- ers of the nations as almost a mir- aculous achievement. Perhaps some day the possibility of war will be so remote that it will not even be men

War. History

By Plltid Nlcholslll

”Six Years of War" is cebtainly the most pride-stirring, the most authoritative, the most interesting and even thrilling book ever writ- ten about Canadians in uniform.

Just published by the Queen's Printer here. it is the first volume of the official history of the Cana- dian Army in the Second World War. It covers events in Canada, in Britain - including costal raids, and in the war against Japan. Thus it deals with such stirring events and controversial subjects as Can- ada's preparation for war- before and after September 3, 1939; the Dieppe Raid; and the defence of Hong Kong.

The author is Colonel C. P. Stacey, the ”ofticiai historian” of the Amy. A former winner of the Governor-Generu1'll Award, he is already widely known as a writer who can thrill and inform his read-

ers. This book should secure him -

a second Award.

The centrepiece of the volume is the Dieppe Raid. I don't believe anyone anywhere has written a more complete account of that glorious demonstration of what the defenders admitted was Canada's "good offensive spirit". Col. Stacey had full access to Canadian. Allied and Nazi records: so his account is the distillation of reports obtain- ed and cross-checked from both

sides. His vivid story is made more 1

vivid by many action photos, in- cluding German pictures.

OPERATION JUBILEE

the raid was intended to be no with landings at 4.30 am. on 19th August, 1942. The last German shell was fired at the withdrawing ships at 1.58 pm. the same day. Into were crowded triumph and tragedy. those drama-packed nine hours honour and horror.

Although many of the unhappy residents of Ocupied Europe fcar- 3 ed that it was an unsucessful at-

.tempt to establish the Second Front,

the rind was intended to be no more than a raid. The objects were to inflict damage on German in- stallations and airfields. to capture prisoners for interrogation, and to test modern weapons and equip- ment ln a beach assault. For our military leaders had no experience of opposed landings on a large scale since Gallipoll nearly 30 years earlier. Dieppe suceeded as a teacher: it failed as a destrover.

Col. Stacey shows that the raid was highly sucessful from the points of politics. morale and ex- perience. His statistics reveal that it was less black from the casual- ty angle than many of us feared at the time.

The turning point of the raid oc- curred on the narrow beach of the formerly gay little holiday resort of Pays, one mile east of Dieppe itself. The Royal Regiment of Can- ada. reinforced from the Black Watch and the Royal Canadian Artillery, were to land there. Their objective was to penetrate the un- scalable cliffs up the only and nar- row gully, and then on the head- land above, to overwhelm the key battery of guns which commanded the main bench In front of Dieppe.

Through a combination of un- lucky happenings, this plan failed.

"Along the fatal sea-wall, the lads from Toronto lay in heaps." writes Col. Stacey. "There is no doubt that the setback at Puys had a moat adverse effect upon the roll! as a whole."

Of the 554 officers and men of the Royals who embark:-ri. only 3 returned unwoundcd. 207 were kill- ed in action, and 284 were captur- ed.

or the Canadian '” force. one in six was killed in the action, on in four was wounded; three in eight were taken prisoner.

The price was high, but Colonel Stacey rats: invaluable the experi- ence gainod. The lessons not mere- ly saved thousands of lives in the D-day invasion; they made its suc- cess possible. Tho lads from Tor- onto and their gallant comrades were the heroes of lilo D-day triumph.

"six Years of War" will cause l many a fight to be rcfought around

the hot stove of the Canadian Leg- ion. Old soldiers will never tire of this admirable book-' and after

ading it, they will hold their heads even higher at the next Armistice Day parade.

Atlantis hasn't been in the news lately, and judging from what a couple of American scientists have Just dons fo the place, it'll never get into the new again. Dr. Frank Press of the California Institute of Technology and .Dr. Maurice Ew- ing of Columbia University have figured out a way of using oartb- quake wavea to explore the ocean's bottom and. as a result of their researclles, they say positively that Atlantis never existed. About the best that can be said of their find- ings in that in an uncertain world of shifting values, it's good to, be sure of somethinz. ov if ifs only the non--' fence of A antis.

The legend of a lost confilont in the Atlantic goes back a long ""19 Ind 90 mull! peoples and perhaps 3 symbolic of man'- venrninu for an ided condition. The continent has been called, among other things, the Islands of the most. The story of Atlantis if.- sclf was started by Plato, two in the Timaeua mentions how certain Egyptian priests, in conversation with Solon, represented the island I! I country larger than Asia Minor and Libya combined. They said that 9,000 years before sololr: birth Atlantis had been a powerful kingdom which conquered the lands bordering tho-Mediterranean.

-The Lost Continent

further commentary, Plato describ- ed the ideal commonwealth organ- ized in Atlantis.

The story was preserved by Arab goographers and believed by medieval writers. Even as late as the 19th century, scholars serious- ly debated the existence of Atlan- tis, with Montaigne, Buffon and Voltaire leaning, toward belief. In recent years Atlantis has come to represent more a hope than a real- ity, a kind of underwater sllangri- la where men lived an uncomplic- ated. orderly Ilfe.

Dn. Press and Ewing have now proved that no one part of the Atlantic Ocean's bottom got there later than the rest and no it's no use talking about ”' "
