CHARLOTTlv.'TOWN,

A Fine Achievement

New Brunswick has indeed a right to be proud of its St. Joseph's University Choir which won first place in folk-song singing at the Welsh Festival of Music. the International Eisteddfod. Competing against the finest choirs in the world, St. Joseph's choristers carried all before them with their rendition of two well-known French Canadian songs. This achievement reflects credit upon all Canada, and par- ticularly the Maritimes, where the revival in folk-singing is a comparatively recent movement.

Our own Provincial Music Festivals have done much to encourage folk-singing. and it is to be hoped that St. Joseph's achievement will inspire still further local interest in this grand community art. We have some fine choirs throughout the Province, and those who attended the last Festival concerts were astonished at the progress made. and the enthusiasm shown, by pupils of all ages in mastering their parts.

When the St. Joseph's choir returns home it should receive a Canada-wide wel- come, and no doubt arrangements can be made to have it tour the country under Music Festival auspices in every Province. Certainly we shall look forward to hearing it in Charlottetown in the near future.

The centenary of Reuters News Agency will be celebrated next week, now a Com- monwealth organization owned by news- paper organizations in the United King- dom, Australia, New Zealand and India. It collects and distributes news in every part of the world and in this country shares its services with our own Canadian Press.

The founder. Paul Julius de Reuter, was a German bank clerk who began an organization for transmitting commercial news by pigeon post and then by tele- graph. 111 1851 he went to England and opened an office in London for the trans- mission of intelligence between England and the Continent. The enterprise grew rapid- ly and soon provided world-wide coverage for subscribing, papers, enabling publica- tions of modest means to offer their read- ers more complete news coverage than would be possible for even the most wealthy newspaper maintaining its own correspond- ents throughout the world.

1871 and after the First. World War Reuters stock was made a trust. The in- dependent chairman is appointed by the Lord Chief Justice and it is provided that control will never pass to one interest or

group.

AiiiIn;Free Enterprise

Among the numerous presentations made before the Massey Commission on Arts. Letters and Sciences were studies pre- pared, at the Commission's request, by specialists in their field. These studies were found to be so valuable and of such great: interest that a selection of them has now been published separately. They include articles on the English and French lan- guages in Canada, Canadian Letters, the Humanities, Philosophy, Psychology, Social Sciences, National History, Canadian Ar- chives, Historical Societies and Museums, the Natural Sciences. Medical Research, Music, the 'I'heatre,lPainting, Architecture, etc. Of special interest to newspaper read- crs is an article on The Press of Canada, by Wilfrid Eggleston. The writer stresses, among other things, the importance of maintaining a free press. He points out that any direct Government aid in this con- nection would be inadvisable, but goes on 10 say:

"it would, however, be in keeping with our history and political philosophy to be alert at all times to remove from the news- paper industry and indeed all aspects of publishing any burdens that can in equity be lifted. If the legitimate role of govern- ment in a parliamentary democracy in to 'clear the playing field' for healthy com- petition of private enterprise, and to adopt productive policies of national development and taxation. the publishing industry has every right to partake in and benefit from these to the full. Anything which lmprovu .communlcations between various parts of Canada. which reduces the cost of doing

The founder was created a. baron in Serve great credit, particularly perhaps the

the press as well as other industry. A great deal of indirect help of this kind is possible, and the danger here of direct pol- itical influence is, I think, negligible.

"The Press will be helped by policies which reduce the cost of capital equip- ment, improve postal efficiency and lower its costs, improve methods of communica- tion, attack combines and modify the pa- tent laws so as tol favor technological changes, lighten the burden of the sales tax, and so on. No greater contribution could be made to a free and independent press in this era, for example, than some technolog- ical revolution which would again make it possible for a crusader or reformer or man of public spirit to launch, with a few thousand dollars, an organ of opinion or a regional newspaper or magazine. It is the duty of governments to maintain patent and monopoly laws and policies such as would encourage innovations of this sort."

An eccentricity that pays. Find out what you really want to do, and (says Mr John Usborne in BBC Magazine) do it, and do it hard. This means being an eccentric, because conformity and convention are costly both in the time and money needed

Inflation is a sore point with almost everyone and particularly with govern- ments. The powers-that-be are under pressure to take. measures to deal with

The scheduled visit of Princess Eliz- abeth and Prince Philip to Canada in Oc- tober will help further to cement the ties of Empire, and also our friendly relations with the United States should they follow the example of Their Majesties the King and Queen in 1939, by spending a few days at Washington. While the details of the itinerary have not been completed. there is little doubt but that this Prov- ince will be included in the tour, and none at all but that they will receive a most en- thusiastic Island welcome. 0 O O

,In parliament it is not altogether un- usual to bless the man who curses you. Prime Minister St. Laurent said he was "very pleased" to accept Mr. Drew's words in the spirit in which they had been given. "I merely add", the Prime Minister went on, "that if we were not a little lmpetuous from time to time, we might not have the other qualities that are required to dis- charge the responsibilities that are ours." A little "spice" did no harm to the pro- ceedings of Parliament and it perhaps would not be "amiss that from, time to time we should reveal the natural traits of human being: generally." Speaker Ron Mnodonnid, arbitrator in the disputes be- tween the two leaders, said he thought the chamber would agree that it took "great courage" to make the remarks made by

business. which lightens the tax load, helps

it and the measures themselves are nec- g

"An Oasis Of Sanity"

(wall street Journal)

The stabilizers in Washington are muttering darkly in the direc- tion of the Government of Can- ada. The immediate cause of their displeasure is that Canadian mills have raised the price of newsprint. and the Canadian Government seems disposed not. to interfere. However, there are people in Washington who have been un- happy for some time went the Canadian policy, which is against trying to control prices. The Osm- ndlnns any they once tried con- trols and they did not work. so they prefer be try to stem infla- tion by balancing their budget and restricting credit.

There are dark hints that un- less the Canadians run their country according to the Wash- ington idea they may pay for their recalcltrance. There is talk of cutting off supplies and cancelling defence contracts. In fact there are periods when one might won- der whether it is the Canadians or Ruuims who own trouble: in the world.

Obviously if the Canadians want to gain friends and influence people in Washington they must change their tletlcs. several cour- ses might be suggested.

The C:m.dl3ns could misman- age themselves into I famine. They could blame the United states and intimate to the rest of the world one the United States was no better than Communist Russia, if as good. Then congress would vote them a big gift.

But seventy-five years ago, or oven leu. they were common. An farms were backed out of the bush, barns were necessary to stable stock and provide storage for fodder. Most of the original Ontario barns were of log. They sufficied until frame barns could be built.
