sillliliarlse Reports

Reports of submarines in Maritime wa- '

ters have become so numerous as to be- come ridiculous. They recall the countless "sightings" of flying saucers of not so long ago with the difference, however, that in- stead of being mildly amusing examples of self-deception, they are deadly serious and must be checked by responsible authorities.

The effort wasted in tracking down false reports or rumors can ill be spared when the country is making hasty efforts to take its share in opposing aggression.

The answer is not, of course, to neglect to report such sightings, but to observe sus- picious objects with care. and reasonable scepticism. Immediate investigation is al- most always easier than later inquiry and could save the Navy much chasing after will-0'-the-wisps.

Mr. tiarsori on Freedom

Justice Minister Garson says that in the present war of ideas victory will go to the side ”which is able to occupy with its thoughts the minds of the greatest number of able human beings." "The best way to do this", believes Mr. Garson. ”is to dem- onstrate in practice that under freedom the whole body of the people are better off both materially and spiritually."

Few, if any, Canadians will quarrel with Mr. Garson's timely observations. For it is more than apparent that no country in the world today enjoys such a high standard of living, such freedom of thought and ex- pression, and such prospects for develop- ment and expansion as Canada.

If the understanding of freedom is to occupy the minds of more and still more people, it must be more than the political freedom so familiar to all Canadians if this country is to thrive and prosper as an ex- ample of a working democracy for. the rest of the world to see. It must mean also economic freedom, freedom of opportunity for men and women to start new enter- prises, to seek new sources of mineral wealth, to build more factories, to provide more jobs, to cultivate new agricultural lands, to improve the fisheries.

Freedom to work must mean more than freedom from the haunting fear of unem- ployment. Rather, it must have a posi- tive, dynamic significance under which every Canadian will have equal opportunity to start his own enterprise, pursue his own creative initiative, and contribute by his genius to the creation and development of new economic frontiers, without fear of being taxed or controlled out of existence.

Tell it To The Eskimos!

A peep over the rim of the Arctic cir- cle offers political possibilities now that the Eskimos of Canada have been granted the right to vote. The Financial Post goes so far as to suggest that the day may not be far distant when the constituency of Yukon- Mackenzie River will send an Eskimo M.P. to the House of Commons at Ottawa.

This bit of Torontonian whimsey may not be nearly so fanciful as it at first ap- pears. It would only take a week or so of rubbing noses with paleface politicians peddling the "made-in-Ottawa" brand of social security to awaken even the most phlegmatic Eskimo.to the shortcomings of a planned economy for the Arctic.

In politics, as in business, pleasing the customer is the key to success. When the customer happens to be so self-sufficient a sort as the Eskimo is reputed to be, the political wares offered by various parties today are not the kind of thing likely to set the dog-teams in motion en route to the polling booth .ln Aklavik.

Old age pensions?

Eskimos, like gen-

ous for that. Baby bonuses? Well, may- be. But where would they cash. the che- ques? A housing project, perhaps? But Eskimos prefer to live in Igloos. State ownership of the means of production? The

- BENEFITING FROM CRITICISM

Sir,-Each year about this time. and during the tourist season, we receive gratuitously, compliment- ary remarks from visitors. ex- pressive of impressions they've gained during their brief sojourn among us. It may be with regard to the natural beauty of our Pro- vince, the hospitality of our peo-, ple, the courtesies extended by our various officials with whom they come in contact, or with respect to a variety of other incidents and instances that, occurring, induces favorable reacllion, and gives cause for the retention of pleasant mem- ories.

Some of these visitors. on occas- ions. also" express surprise at our lack of enthusiasm ufor this collect- ive heritage that is ours. and which, at times. we almost appear to spurn. We appear to fail. too frequently, to capitalize upon such opportunities, preferring to bask indolenltly in the sunshine of com- pllments paid, rather than harness- ing them to our advantage. Why is it that these casuals. sharing in our routine. perhaps for the first time. can perceive in a flash what we locals fail to recognize in s life time? We complain about our isolated position as a Province; they see that as a distinct advant- age. We bemoan our perpetually stagnant employment situation, because of a dearth of raw mater- ials from which to manufacture goods that the rest of the world needs. They appraise our possi- bilities differently. We can. if we will. produce our own raw mater- ial and manufacture products pa culiar to our location and oppor- iunitiies that will command a pre- ference. if not indeed a premium, in world markets. We despatch individuals and delegations 'to far away lands to unearth the secret of their success; they come here and are nonplussed at the origin- ality and exclusiveness of our ideas and methods. And so on. al- most indefinitely, one might con- tinue to ponder over the peculiar- ity of our position and be inclined to exclsim "How can these things be!"

if what has been written cor- rectly deplcta the present situat- ion, pertinent questioning will naturally arise. Shall we continue being satisfied with the "inferior- iiy" estimate we've evidentlyplsc- ed upon ourselves and just plod along as we have been doing. or will we heed the more generous and encouraging ssscssmem. of ourselvu and affairs made by the outside world we welcome to the Province? Shall we strike s bal- ance and attempt a fresh start. basing our ambition for a more prosperous future on an acknow- ledgement of errors of the put and with s determination to over- come these handicaps of our' own creation that has held us static for so many years.

Farming, s.I carried on nowa- days. is big business. not merely a means iowsrds maintaining an existence as it may have been once upon a time. It is a man- ufscturing business. and collect- ively, the largest business in the Province or in Canada. In fact, as a whole. it consists of a chain of IUCCOIHVH smaller industries. more or less interdependent. the one upon the other, and finally culminating into one huge affair. Manufacturing on the farm differs from that carried cn.in our large industrial centres in some respects, although it requires. in the main. pretty much the some management attentions. In the farming version we have to manufacture a very large percentage of the rsw-'n-ls- icrials used in the manufacture of subsequent products. The greater

the percentage we rnanufccturl. the lower the cost of production

stance. if we raise all the feed re- quired to put that litter of pigs on the msrlret. the cost of produc- tion should be considerably lower. on the other hand. the greater proporiiob of the feed required we have to buy horn some source, cnduponwliieliwcllsvctcpsys margin. the higher our cost of production. and the? lower our final prodts. .

There is some doubt as to the exact date 300 years ago on which the regiment was formed. but his- torlsns believe it to have been about August 12 or 13.

Cromwell had decided to con- fer s command on an able officer of his staff. Col. George Monk. and the new regiment was form- cd from two north country units and began service in Scotland and on the border.
