Vlonon's institutes convention

For the next two days the city will be host to the forty-first annual convention of the Prince Edward Island Women's Insti- tutes. Delegates representing some 5,500 members of 323 Institutes throughout the Island are meeting to take stock of.their accomplishments and chart their course for the future. The president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada, Mrs. J. W. Adams of Saskatchewan, will be present to represent the national organization.

It is almost impossible to overestimate the importance of the work of the Women's Institutes. Their interests extend to every aspect of rural life and they have an envi- able reputation for accomplishing what they set out to do. Other farm organizations are for the most part concerned with the techniques or economics of making a living. The W. I. is interested in the art of living.

Education, both of children and adults, handicrafts, drama, health and the appear- ance of the community are only a few of the fields in which the Institute have play- ed and are playing a decisive role. It is not too much to say that they are a most important cultural influence in rural life.

Without the work of the Women's In- stitutes there can be no doubt that farm- ing would soon run a very poor second to city life in attraction for young and old, so that we may thank that organization and its enthusiastic workers for maintaining our most important industry in a healthy

state.

Whither Japan?

Just how strong is Democracy in Japan? From all outward appearances that once totalitarian State seems to have a form of free and democratic government. There is a parliament elected by popular vote. There is a more or less free press. There is freedom of speech and assembly. At the moment the Government seems opposed to any form of political authoritarianism whether of the Left or Right. Most com- petent Western observers in the Far East appear to believe that the Yoshida Con- servative Party is trying very hard to re- build the nation on a solid democratic foun- dation; chiefly because it is convinced that any other political line-up would bring a resurgence of the old militarist clique which brought the nation to military and economic disaster.

At the same time it is evident that there are strong forces at work to hinder the growth of the democratic idea before it be- comes deeply rooted in the popular will. The Socialist Party, the strongest single op- position group, appears to be patterned not after Western Socialism, with its emphasis on orderly social progress, but rather on extremely radical dogmas almost identical with those of international Communism. Their principal objects of attack are the Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement with the United States and national rearmament, even for defensive purposes. Until recent- ly the Socialists contented themselves with normal parliamentary criticism of Govern- ment policy; now, however, they have re- sorted to bolder methods, as instanced by the physical fracas in the Diet a couple of weeks ago.

The general belief is that left to them- selves the Socialists would be in no posi- tion to undermine the growing relationship with the West. Unfortunately, the situation is not quite that simple. There is another faction, extremely right-wing with neo- Fascist tendencies. operating underground and having for its objective the re-emer- gence of militarist influence. This is the more dangerous: partly because it works in small cells remote from normal political associations, and partly because it has an appeal for the Japanese masses. who have been taught from earliest days that national prestige depends on the ability to wage wire of conquest: this, in turn, gives mili- taristsl a preferred place in the popular ap- praiaal of national well-being. At first sight It- seems incredible that the above-ground Socialists and the under-ground Fascists should ever get together in a common cam- pign of aggression against the new Democ-

Canada's low sheep population has been a matter of concern for some yeals. It is referred to in the Farmer's Advocate as an "unsolved riddle which.has never been set. isfactorily explained and perhaps never thoroughly understood"--a statement which 'the Globe and Mail indorses after review. ing the situation editorially. It points out that in 1871 there were fewer farms than today, more woods to harbor wolves, and none but small woollen mills to provide commercial markets for wool. Yet Canada had nearly twice as many sheep on her farms in 1871 as she had in 1953. And the total for 1945 was more than twice as great as in 1953. That high figure was the result of a wool productionrdrive dur- ing the war, when we were far short of self-sufficiency. In 1871, with over three million sheep and lambs, the country must have produced virtually all its rehuirements of wool, lamb and mutton. Today we are far below that standard, with only a little more than'a million and a half sheep and lambs ill our fields. An economic anomaly in the situation is that woollen products have become near-luxury items, a status which inspires producers to increase their output in respect of other items. But not wool. We are raising only one sheep or one lamb for about every group of eight persons in the Dominion.

"We have been told," says the Globe and Mail, "that sweet clover, complemented with carrots, is a favorite winter diet for sheep in Canada, and that the legume is hard on soil and that carrots are hard to cultivate. But we grow other soil-robbing crops; and certainly sugar-beet farming is at least harder on the back than growing carrots. But we do not pretend to know whether any of these considerations weigh with farlners who might be breeding sheep but are not. We do not know whether they prefer a rayon suit for Sunday best above the decent black broadcloth that was once every homesteaderls pride. And even though the taste for lamb chops may be an urban matron's foiblc, we still do not know why the meat market offers no lure to the po- tential sheep grower. What sheep we have are good breeds, for flesh as well as wool. And all we can say about the bafflement of the Farmer's Advocate is that we share it."

Canada's older postage stamps are at- tracting attention in New York and else- where because of a change in Government policy. The post office now keeps on hand supplies of recent issues only and the law of supply and demand does the rest.

President Eisenhower has prophesied an eventual halt to conspiracies'against free- dom. He said that this would be accom- plished not by force but through patient perseverance and the growth of knowledge among nations and men. That is, of course, the only way in which freedom can be achieved. Force may prevent free men from being enslaved but only their behav- iour in time of peace will make their free- dom effcctivc. '

SUMMER DAWN

When the sun rolls up behind a wall of grey

Crinkling the edge of an indolent cloud

With gold and orange broidery, and the grey

Unfolding undulations swiftly crowd

Over the ocean, how easy to be-

lieve ,

The world still young - so sharp- ly do we feel

The limpid freshness of the morn- ing steal

Along the edges of the mind and leave

A luster on the body like the glow

Of sunrise on the tide. Gladly we

lift

Our faces to the east. as islands show

Their tenderest smiles at day- break.

All the drift

of life is flooding with new hopes that run

And touch us as the bay is touched with sun.

The other chief topic of the talk! was the problem of Germany and of the European Defence Commun- ity. And here it. is plain that. there were no disagreements to be iron- ed out. Both Governments agree that It is essential that "the Ger- man Federal Republic shall take its place as an equal partner in the community of western nations, where it can make its proper con- tribution to the defence of the free world." Both are still con- vinced that the E.D.C. Treaty pro- vides the "best. way" of securing this. But. it is now over two. years since the Treaty was igned. It still awaits ratlflcationll by the French and Italian parliaments. Thelvlore.
