Menace of "Bevanism"

The lambasting that all sections of the

British press have given to former Health Minister Aneurin Bevan's political pamph- let One Way Only has led many people to believe that this is the end of the matter so far as the radical left wing of socialism is concerned. Characteristic of the reaction to this policy statement of dissident leftisn. is "The Spectator's" description of the doc unient as "muddled thinking" mixed with "Bevanesque tushery”. . It would be unwise, however, to con- clude that Bevanism can be thus lightly dismissed from the contemporary scene of British politics. For soeialism's failure has bred its own disillusionment among Prime Minister Attleels followers, many of whom will undoubtedly see in Mr. Bevan's leader- ship an easy way out of present difficult- ies merely through the rejection of the Prime Minister and his clique who, in the former Health Minister's eyes, are little better than socialist "deviationists”.

The Bevanites thus far have voted with the Government on every critical issue lhat has arisen in the House of Commons since the split on the Finance Bill. The icy correctness of both factions in the Labour Party, so far as their conduct in the House of Commons is concerned, does not conceal the fact that a showdown is rapidly ap- proaching. Tliat showdown will undoubted- ly come when the annual party convention is held at Scarborough in the autumn.

Most significant token of the concern in Government circles regarding Mr. Bevan's strength is the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer's proposal to "freeze" dividends of British corporations. In this way, the Labour moderates hope to placate the Bevanites by paying lip service to the soc- ialist principle that profits are sinful. Other attempts at political appeasement may be expected to emerge between now and Oc- ,. tober.

The true menace of Bevanism lies in the fact that Prime Minister Attlee and For- ", . eign Minister Herbert Morrison may decide

I to subordinate the broader interests of rlefence and foreign affairs to immediate party interests. In this case, the price de- - manded by Mr. Bevan for cementing the v. j- lift in party ranks would be to cut the rearmament program to the bone, and break the alliance with the United States. As a quid pro quo the Bevanites offer a restoration of free spectacles and false teeth. To serious observers of the political Icene. such a gesture scarcely seems worth the risk. -

Moscow's Poaoo Pigeons

The most caustic comment on the Sov- iet peace overtures has come from Yugo- slavia where Marshal Tito -- who should know something about Communism - has warned the West against the "peace pig- eons" currently being released by the "mass- murderers" of the Baits. Tartars and other peoples.

, There is certainly sufficient reason for the democratic peoples to remain on their guard, comments the Winnipeg Free Press. If the peace offensive has genuine content .it is an indication that the free countries v'have been right to seek security in pooled strength and would be guilty of supreme recklessness in relaxing their efforts at the -first sign that their policy is producing re- sults. If on the contrary it is a mere trick of Communist propaganda its purpose ;may be to confuse and divide the West or ito induce a mood of complacency favor- ;'able to Soviet purposes. The end result :.js the same. The temptation to grasp at fthe shadow and lose the substance must be gt-esisted and public resolve hardened to slound a peace upon unity, strength and re- jlstance to aggression.

Motor car Payn;it;

Is the 50 per cent down-payment. re- rement for motorcars unfairly loaded alnst the smaller income man? The Fi-

cial Times says that it is and urges that the arbitrary plan be ie-examined by Ot- wa to see if it can be more equitably re- l ugted; not only as applied to motor-car": "t to refrlgeraton and other goods. The wall-to-do man. it is argued. is lit- affccted by the regulation. He can put tliompcr"osnt;or, as he time often -full amount in cash whether he a Ford, diovrolet or s Cddlllsc. law does not restrict his buying. How-

ever, the full weight of the regulation falls on the lower income buyer of a used car or.- a cheaper car to be used in his work or for family convenience. Because he has not the realizable assets, and has to pay large- ly out of income, he is often penalized to the extent of being precluded from buying a car at all. .

The results, too, are bearing heavily on' the dealers in used cars who are thus un- able to move their stocks. The dealers in small, low-priced English new cars are also caught. They are being forced to make frantic efforts and concessions to gunloarj stocks which have piled up on them.

Because of the confusion thus produced in the motor car business, the government is urged to re-survey the situation in an effort to graduate the buying of cars as to down payment and length of time to pay.

Well deserved bouquets were this week handed to Mrs. Houle, Mr. Williams and Mr. Reid in regard to the successful work they accomplished in connection with their respective organizations. 0 O The British cruiser "Kenya", veteran of the Korean war recently completed 365 days of "steam on her main engines” hav- ing been at sea. for 82,000 miles in the Ko- rean campaign.

The Potato Growers have decided to retain control of their own association, and it will be for them individually and collect- ively to make the most of their present op- portunity lest the organizatidn fall by the wayside. 0 Charlotte Mary Yonge, English novelist, was born this date,1821l.

The Army's rotation plan for Korean troops should go far to relieve one of the greatest hardships of fighting a modern war. Not death, wounds, discomfort nor boredom, but the severing of family ties for excessively long periods is the most gen- eral and unfortunate condition of fighting

A campaign is needed to pat lights on all users of the highways after dark. Cars, waggons and bicycles are required by law to be lighted and prudent pedestrians shoul.t not think of risking their lives by being on the highway in a condition of near in- visibility.

Some 16 British Army Cadets accom- panied by Brig. J. M. Davenport and Capt. P. H. Godfrey are on their way to Canada to compete against Canadian cadets at the Quebec Rifle meeting at Mount Bruno, and at the Connaught Ranges at Ottawa. The cadets will also visit Niagara Falls and army installations at Toronto, Montreal and Quebec.

This Province has had to complain about being omitted from maps of Canada used for railway and tourist purposes. In Scot- land the Orkney and Shetland Islands have had a similar experience in reference to Festival publicity. Their citizens have com- plained to Festival of Britain authorities that their island homes have.been cut out of tourist maps. Usually the Shetland and Orkney Islands (population 57,000). off Scotland's north coast, are given a special inset on maps of Britain, but the Festival charts miss them out altogether. i

Even in a time of war and general dis- tress It is characteristic that Brltishers settled elsewhere should give attention to minor steps in progress.

What answer can Communists and their (fellow travellers" give to such an unoonquerable spirit even

of civic progress?

SCOTTISH DANCING

Sir.-Judging by the comments heard on all sides the recent iznthering of the clam held at Stratligartncy was one of the picasantest events of ltsklnduind the Calcdonion Club of Prince Edward Island and those who assisted them are to be highly commended for the manner in which they handled many uri- precedented problems-- not the least of which was the very large attendance. The presence of the very distinguished Chieftain o.' the Clan MaqLeod was no doubt responsible and it was pleasant to note the many improvements in carrying out the sports and dan-

cing programme over former years. T h e excellent arrangement

around the dancing platform gave the large crowd a splendid View of all contestants; and a prettier sight it would be hard to imag- ine than thcy made in their col- orful costumes. Silver and bronze medals were given as prizes this your in the sports and dancing competitions, and no doubt these will be valued possessions of. the young winners.

in view of the exacting train- ing required to prepare a pupil in any of the Highland dances. not to mention the costly trap- pings which are no small part of the picture. it did seem that a larger proportion of the medals might have been allotted to the dancers. After all,, it ll doubtful if the runners, hammer throwers and others spent anything up- proaching the hours of practice or (possibly) valued the medals they received as highly as would some little girl who has been working for months on her dance steps.

The Caledonlan Club as well as the general public is indeed in- debted 16 the teacher: of these Scottish dancers. for only through them and their young pupils can we keep alive this charming and colorful art which brings so much pleasure into our lives. While not versed in the fine points of competitive dancing it did appear to this spectator that it would be a more graceful act. as well as more sporting if the teachers of these young ladies left the field entirely to ihem and did not com- pete with them. By so doing. the Judges would be saved hnndlini. in somewhat awkward situation and a fecliniz of good sportsman- ship would prevail.

The Caledonian Club as well as the general public is also indebt- ed to the volunteer judges who spoil their own outing to take on a thankless job, ins well as I long and tiring one) for each year is brlniziniz more and more contes- tants. It would seem that the nufnbcr or entrants present this year would warrant bringing in in qualified person, paid to Judicale and give A short talk on the fine points of the art. This would be not only interesting to the public but of invaluable as- sistance to the young dancers. Adjudication of this kind would take considerable time, but could not the sports and dancing pro- grammes run concurrently? Starr. them both at say. two o'clock and let the spectators choose to watch where their interest lies

Sir,-In Saturday's paper l read-"Reds reminded of Allied air and sea might". To my mind that was a lactless reminder. The Reds knew all about it.

Society everywhere has many with blurred vision. I knew a "good" citizen who would not knowingly hurt any one. But the lnst night that he was on earth. he twice asked for his money that was ill the house, that he might count. it again. He was missing the mark, and missing much. In talk with a friend I told him of the children's sacred concert. He saw that I was great- ly pleased. He said. "Oh. I guess I am not normal. I care nothing for nonsenselikeihat."In my mind I agreed with him. Not normal. Not sane. And half awake to the fact. So there is hope for him.

The following item is from the Colonial Herald of July 11. 1840: "On Tuesday se'nnlght. a moor- ing was held in the Scotch Church, in this town, consisting chiefly of members of that bodv. to take into consideration the propriety and expediency of pet- itlonlng.I-Ier Majesty as to the mode of disposing of the proceeds arising from the sale of Globe and School Lands in this Island. On motion of the Rev. Mr. McAulny. the Rev.
