Of Major Concern

! ‘The parliamentary furore over the : Gerda Munsinger case has served the

\ as alleged by Mr. Cardin, but was:

insinuations of ‘improper moral conduct as in its : alleged tie-in with national security : Matters. If this be so, it is mystify- ‘ ing that the Liberals should have kept : quiet about it until now. It took a Toronto newspaper man to ‘discover that the woman involved had not died of leukemia in East Germany,

. living in a Munich apartment in West ’ Germany, where she has been a storm ‘centre of rumor since she was first ‘interviewed‘on Thursday. NDP Leader “Douglas has pertinently pointed out

that if the Justice Minister was as far

was on this point, his charges don’t amount to much. This would be determined, of course, by the judicial

‘Conservative demands for a show--

ges which he would have to prove or resign his seat. _ More important, from the national

safety standpoint, is the fact that for

the first time in 20 years there will be a thorough judicial probe into the question of espionage and counter- espionage activities in Canada. This is where the Opposition has scored, in forcing this action. And there is need, as the Globe and Mail points out, that it should not only aim at striking a

balance between state security and=|

individaul rights. It must also answer a question foremost in the public mind: namely, has politicial con- sideration ever affected the hand- ling of a security problem? If it has, the commission must fix the blame for the interference and make recom- mendations for its avoidance in future.

Canada’s last such inquiry was

__precipitated by the defection of Igor

Gouzenko from the service of the Soviet Union with a bundle of docu- ments about espionage in Canada. In the traumatic shock that followed the disclosures of this inquiry Canadian counter-measure were considerably strengthed. In view of recent happen- ings it is right that an inquiry now be held, and on a scale wide enough to satisfy public demand.

Serious Dairy Problem’

Warning has beerf sounded by our dairy industry spokesmen that not even -the federal government guar.

antee of $4 per 100 pounds of milk is

expected to halt the, decline in milk production in Canada. It would still fail to provide an attractive financial inducement, and additional money to attract production will have to come from some other source. That could mean that the consumers will have

to pay. more,in future for dairy

- products.

With the vontinued increase in food prices in ‘recent years, this is going to be a hardproblem for the con-

sumers to handle. But the fact must-

be faced, as Agriculture Minister Mac- Rae has pointed out in this province, that the immediate dairy production outlook is not optimistic. And accord-

ing to J. Lincoln Dewar, on his return |

from an Ottawa meeting of the advisory committee ‘to the Agricul- tural Prices Stabilization Board, the situation is prevalent across the coun- try> particularly in Ontario, where a severe shortage of capable help is for- cing many «dairy farmers to advertise , their herds.

Nor is the prospect any better across the line..where the U.S. Agriculture Departinent’s ecnomic research ser-

vice says there is little chance that

b |

last year’s decline in the: nation’s milk output will be stemmed . this year. It may fall about 2 per cent below the. 125.1 billion, pounds pro- ducbkd last year. This is expected to be luni by further increases in the cQnsumer cost. «4

In an attempt to halt this trend, the department. has moved to prevent ‘a seasonal price drop in producer prices of fluid milk sold in 72' federal milk order marketing areas. It also has asked for White House approval

_of an increase in price supports for

milk used_ for manufacturing purposes. SONG 4a: Rep . Still another factor in the U-S. situation was a decline of 5.6 per cent in the number of dairy cows in 1965, the largest annual percentage decline on record. The report said a further drop is possible this year. The situa- tion has been reflected in the quantity of dairy products bought by the government under price supports. In 1964, purchases represented 6.4 per cent of the total milk output. Last year they dropped to 4.8 per cent. To sum up the US. situation: Butter production this year is running 26 per cent below that of a year earlier. Cheese output is down 7 per- cent. Stocks of most dairy products are likely.to, be. lower at the end of the current marketing year than at

any time since 1952—the time of the

Korean War. .

The fact that the problem is s0 widespread should spark further con- cern at Ottawa as to the threat it is posing to one of our major farm in- dustries,

A McCrea Memorial =

A brief news item from Ontario ‘states that some admirers -of Colonel John McCrea are trying to raise funds to buy his cottage birthplace as a memorial. We wish them. success in their @fforts. _ ;

It is fifty-one -years since Colonel McCea’s 15-line poem appeared

~anonymouslyin—a-Paris~ newspaper,

mourning the Canadian and British soldiers who died in the fighting at

Ypres, 1914-15. “In Flanders Fields,” -

it was called; and it told, in simple, moving words, of the poppies blowing “between the crosses, row and row,” of the larks, “scarce heard amid the guns below” but still bravely singing,

and of the torch to be taken from

+-falling-hands-and-held-high-in the

cause of freedom... It is difficult for those who have not lived through the period to realize

| the impact this poem had at the time.

It became known and loved through- out the Commonwealth, almost over- night. In the United States it-proved a potent propaganda weapon, more

effective perhaps than even the |

indignation aroused against imperial Germany by the sinking of the Lusitania.

A writer in the -San Francisco Chronicle gives it this praise. He adds _that to the.sophisticated the poem was the outpouring of the naive, and this was in.a measure true. For the West- ern world had not known térrible and all-embracing: war since 1865, and it had come to think such calamity was no-longer~ possible -among civilized men. But in the 1930s the sacrifice and the hope of 1914-18 were seen to be in vain. A new and more dreadful German tyrant was abroad, and every- where people foresaw that death and saffering were just around the corner for the Western world. :

By this time poets, like the people who begot them, had become cynical,

|. or at least lacked some deep urgency about the universal tragedy. For it is | | a stunning reality: that the Second

| World War produced not one verse of | lament and warning comparable to

,‘‘In. Flanders. Fields.” Korea, nothing. _

Recently an American sergeant in Viet Nam wrote a song, the Ballad of the Green Berets, and a record of it is selling. But the ballad does not resemble McCrea’s poem. It cel- ebrates combat heroism (ds did one or

two songs 25 years ago) but it does)’

not mourn main his predicament. Colonel McCrea was a medical of-

ficer:in the Canadian army. He pub-

lished other poems, but nothing that

, lived, and he died in the 1918 in-

fluenza epidemic. The proposed memorial-would be a fitting tribute to

| his achievement.
