to regard the events of Tuesday next in party terms. More sober reflection, how- ever, at once suggests that people are much. more important than politics and that Pre- sident-clcct; Eisenhower is possessed of tal-. eiits which make him a person to be reek-' oned with in the Washington of tomorrow. As the head of state of the strongest na- tion in the free world alliance confronting the Kremlin, it is inevitable that inter- national affairs should have a prior claim on President Eisenhower's iefforts. In this sense, it is not without significance that Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill should have found it expedient to spend a few days in the United States in informal discussions with the incoming President. What hopes does the free world cherish in its relations with the Eisenhower admin- istration? Britain, it is clear, is concerned with trade problems and the improvement of her economic situation. France wants arms. Western Germany seeks closer eco- nomic and military ties with the United States. Japan seeks assurance that full re- cognition will continue to be accorded to her position as the bulwark of defense against Communism in Asia. India hopes for expanded economic aid from the Un- ited States and a better understanding in

aspirations.

For Canadians, llmvever, the enigma of the third man, the presence of Winston Churchill, elder statesman of the Englisli- speaking world, in pre-inauguration con- clave with Prcsiclcnl-elect Eisenhower, is the best; assurance that the fulfilment of

the noble aspirations of El true Atlantic Community lies closer over the horizon than ever bcfore.

ll.S. Ilalry Import curbs

Action of the United States Govern- mcnt, on Dec. 30 in imposing inlport quotas on dried whole milk, dried buttermilk and dried cream will result in renewed repre- sentations to the United States' Government from the Canadian Government that such restrictions are in contravention of the General Agreement. on Tariffs and Trade.

The latest controls are imposed under the same legislation as has been used for sonic time. to linilt imports of Canadian cheddar cheese and other dairy products from this country, that is Section 104 of the

"The trend in Canada in recent years," notes the Moncton Transcript, ”has been to build beautiful and costly school build- ings in certain centres. but neglect the more important matter of providing trained teachers to take" charge of the new class- rooms. Fine buildings in themselves do not make an educational system, bub traincrl teachers are vital in the process of mould- ing young minds and preparing the young people to meet their responsibilities as cit- izens in the years ahead. 'Neglect of school- age youth is a. serious thing. If the problem is not solved today, the result will show it- self clearly in future adult generations."

FARM POPULATION

Sir.-I was impressed with the following striking fact brought for- ward in the closing lines of your editorial entitled "Fortunate ls- lanci Farmers”: Though rural pop- ulation in Canada increased by 7.7 per cent between 1941 and 1951, Canada's actual farm population decreased by 320,000 or more than 10 per cent. to 2.827.732. This slcadyy drift from the farm to bet.- ter-paid manufacturing and city employment. plus mechanization of increasingly larger farms. may yet ,constitute one of the most difficult ipmblems the nation has to face."

Only the other day it panel of - experts surveying this same pmb. lem in the United states. pointed out that today's rural-urban ratio in that country. of 16-84 per comm i.e.. "actual farm population"-may continue to decline to the point of 10-90 per cent within the present. Century; but they were careful to add the interesting caveat that "notwithstanding this echoing ef- fect of our increasing technology, agriculture would remain quite as basic in those days as in these."

I think this latter is a point which tends to be forgotten by our town and city brethren, somewhgt, glamourised by their own enthus. lasm for chemurglc-substltute- synthetic achievements. In Can- ada. if I remember correctly, the Wcllzhted influence of Agriculture in the nations economy is reckon. ed 93 being about three times that of its United states equivalent."

Vanishing Caribou I

(Winnipeg Tribune) Although the Western provinces and the North West Territories now prohibit the hunting of-Bar-

renland caribou for sport. many Northerners are convinced that the vast herds that roamed the

Northland at the turn of the celi- tury have been so serioue deplet- ed during the last two or three decades that if even more drastic measures are not taken for its protection the animal will soon I); extinct.

Northern travellers have becn telling us for years that the sit- uation so far as the caribou was concerned was critical. The Fed- eral Government, which is re- sponsible for the Eskimos and In- dians that. practically live off caribou. became concerned and four years ago sent an expedition to the sub-Arctic. headed by Dr. A. W. F. Banfleld, a well-known naturalist, to investigate the rate of decline of the he-rds.

. . 0

Dr. Bunfield spent three years on the job and has turned in his report. It has done nothing to allay fears. He says the caribou population has declined 62 per- cent. in 50 years; that every year 168,000 of the animals are killed or die-thousands more than are being bred.

Eskimos and the small nomadic bands of Indians in the North that depend almost altogether on caribou for food. clothing and shelter. always killed off a large number of the animals. Since the arrival of the white man on the scene, however, and the introduc- tion of the high-powered rifleoln the far North, the annual slaugh- ter has greatly increased.

As the result of Dr. Bunfield's report it is stated. A great caribou range especially suited to the mating and feeding habits of the animals may he set aside.

0 O O 1

This proposal, if put into effect. might possibly do some good. but the fact is that the animals do not need protection in their pre- sent breeding grounds. The slaughter occurs during the trek: to and from the Winter feeding

grounds. It is during these mi- grations that they need protec- tlon.

It would look like good busi- ness for Ottawa to provide some protection by employing guar- dians who could use airplanes along the migration routes. If something of this kind is not done it will soon be necessary to feed and clothe the natives at the expense of the public or else move them to new and far-off hunting ground: If there are any left. . those avarlclous old country people who say our Canadian and A- merican square dances are just old English or Scottish jigs or rounds gone bad. -

Square dancing has had a nice revival in Ottawa and we wouldn't. be surprised If Lord Alexander has

SNOWFIG-I-ITING DAY!

"Some idea of the difficulty of running trains regularly at pre- sent on the P. E. I. Railway may be formed from the fact that it took the services of four engines, two snowplows and the labour of 250 men nearly twelve hours to open the road between Charlotte- town .and Summerslde yesterday. The same number of engines and plows and nearly 300 men were twenty hours opening the line out of Royalty Junction. A heavy storm commenced again this morn- ing; and the trains which left here at 6 and 6:30 for Souril and Georgetown, as well as No. 1 for Summerslde, have been stuck. In consequence of the storm this morning, trains from Summersldc and Tlgnish were not started."
