Britons In Singapore Are Worried

By LII?! Allen (For .1. M. Roberts. Jr.)

Associated Press News Analyst

SINGAPORE. Nov. 20 -(AP) - Britons in this crown colony are in Indo- china with furrowed brows.

They regard Indo-China as the "first line of defence" of rubber-and tin-rich Malaya -and they're worried about Freircii military setbacks.

British officials and the com- manders of the Far Eastern land and air forces find the news of communist vietmini-i successes in Indo-china disquieting. If Viet- mlnh troops succeed in cutting deep into Indo-Chins. and threat- en Tliailand, Malays. would be in for a hot time.

British military and Govern- ment sources make no secret of the fact that they consider the Indo- China situation "very dangerous."

They wonder whether the French forces can hold in strong line along the Red River in Indo-China and halt the advances.

There is speculation. too. wheth- er United Nations forces might not be faced with the prospect of turn- ing their attention to Indo-China. after the Korean conflict is over if Bench military reverses con- tinue.

It is thought here that Com- munlst terrorists in Malaya are likely to get considerable putside help once Vielmlnh forces spear to he in a favorable position for a big thrust southward in indo- China.

At the moment. it seams to be the aim of Malayan Communists to cause as much trouble as possible and thereby keep a sizeable num- ber of British troops tied up here.

British authorities estimate that the "hard core" of Communist tor- rorists in Malaya number from 8.- 000 to 5.000 men.

That seems like a small number compared with the approximate 40.000 British troops and a. British- led consiebulary force of 100.000 men but the present piecemeal de- struction of terrorist bands indic- ltes that British authorities will have quite a job on their hands for some time to come. A strange aspect of the Malayan jungle war is that the Communists seem to be able rapidly to refill their ranks after heavy casualties in skirm- ishes. annbushes and pitched bat- ties with British forces.

Along with the Indo-China sit- uation. there's fear that the Chin- ese Communists. by invading Tib- et. might be arlming at a recon- quest of the ancient Chinese em- pire. Southeast Asisn territories once under the sovereignty of China included Burma. Indo- China. Thailand and Northern Malaya.

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

Pride in Work On Farm -Stressed I By Mr. iii. Shaw

If we could have thappride in agriculture. in our homes. in our commu files. in our culture. and in our traditions, that is met with everywhere in the farming com- niunitias of Denmark. Norway. Sweden, Finland and Scotland. said Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture. we would not have the problem of keeping 0111' Young people on the farm.

Mn Shaw. speaking at Charlotte- town Rotary Cluib yesterday, said he had been approached by an elderly farmer who was lament- ing the departure of his son who had taken a job in a Toronto fac- tory rsther than carry on in the old homestead. "I told him." said Mr. Shaw. "you trained your son to go, away. it is your teaching that he has followed. Every time I visited your home you repeated the same story about the hardship of farm life, the low prices you received for your products. or the misfortune attending some crop."

Mr. Shaw said he had had an opportunity during his attendance at the International World Con- ference of Farm Producers to meet many of the people in the countries he had visited. He had marvelled at the way they lived on an average farm of 25 acres. Yet every home looked prosper- ousufreshly painted or tinted and a flower garden in front. The people themselves are wonderful. Proud of their homes. their land and their agricultural skill.

Conntontly striving for greater production Denmark alone has 152 experts in the production of root crops. going from farm to farm advising on latest idevelopmenls. These are not government men. They are employed and paid by the co-operatives. Everywhere were the red Danish bred cows. as like as peas. giving an average of 8000 lbs. of milk compared to line Canadian average of 4000 lbs.

' Specialised Training

Another outstanding feature was the number of schools of all kinds. Many specialized in type: of farming or dalrying. Others in industry. The Folk schools were very popular and gave instruction in history, tradition. and govern- ment. It was in these schools that arch pride in race seemed lo be developed.

In trsvelling to Norway. Mr Shaw said he had passed through tremendous forest areas and had been struck by their cleanliness and evident care. There were no signs of fallen branches or hap- hazard growth. There was not even a twig on the ground.

In Scotland he had stayed at a farm home. and getting up early one morning he went out lo the barns where he met two young girls. B e t. w e e n them they had I large number of cattle to milk. I-Ie remarked that he supposed they had started ear- ly that morning so that they could ailtend the Paisley Fair and was surprised to learn that this was their regular schedule. The elder daughter was soon to leave for agricultural college having nearly completed two years as farm as- sistant. "You will be glad to get away from milking this herd every day." said Mr. Shaw. The young lady replied that she was com- in; right back to the farm as soon as she finished her course. It was evident in all these countries that they were developing a well rounded life through social educa- tion. and there was little class distinction. He had noticed in Sweden that when the Crown Prince. now King. had entered one of their meetings. no one stood up or paid any special at- tention. yet he was aware of a deep abiding respect for the Royal family.

Mr. Shaw concluded his remarks by referring briefly to his visit to the Burns country. and had enter- ed liha thatched cottage with a greater degree of respect than in the magnificent cathedrals. He

had had the pleasure of sitting in Burns' chair in the Tam 0' Shanier Inn.

Guests yesterday were Mr. Bob Mellieh and D. R. White. .Mon- lague. Rotarians Ernie Coiiln Ind George Walters. presided.

Escape Of Amefhysl Told A In New Story

By ALAN HARVEY

LONDON. Nov. 20 - (GP) - As the British frigate Amethyst pre- pared for its race to freedom down the Yangtze River, a telegraphiat tapped cut a personal message to the commander's wife:

"Have you received iio from the bank? Write and tell Goldsmiths I can't pay as still in Communist bands. Ichabod. Kerans."

Mrs. John Karena. wife of the Amet.hyst's commanding officer. re- ceived the message safely in Eng- land. "Ichabod" was a personal code word meaning that her husband was coming home. But Mrs. Kerails had forgotten its meaning and didn't know until later that the Ani- ethyet had started its hazardous journey.

These and other behind-the- scenes stories are told in "Yangtze Incident - The Story of H.M.-S. Amethyst." published today (Har- rsp'e). It was written by Lawrence Earl, a Canadian free-lance writer who interviewed 36 officers and men from the frigate. (Earl. 30. was born in saint John, N. B. and has worked in Toronto and Montreal.

The book traces the fol days of adventure which befeli the Amethyst. in the spring of 1949. including the electric moment when Cmdr. Ker- ans had to gamble on whether to piss to port or starboard of one light where two should have been -one on each side of a channel.

British newspapers praised the book. The Daily Telegraph called it a. fine example of reconstructive re- porting: the Daily Herald critic thought it n "thrilling" story: the Evening News said it is a "grand book. packed with atmosphere."

The Amethyst, returning to Far East duty. entered the harbor at Hong Kong today almost unnoticed in contrast to her triumphel entry Aug. 3. 1949. after her escape from the Communist batteries on the Yangtze. she has been refitted and recommissioned in Britain.

Alberta To Take Power To license Professiolai Men

CALGARY. Alts.. Nov. 20 -- (CF) -- Power to license professional men as doctors. lawyers and dentists in Alberta. soon will be taken out of the hands of professional associa- tions by the Alberta Government.

The plan was announced here by Provincial secretary c.s:. Gerherc. whose department handles .the is- auance of other Alberta ii rises.

In an interview, Mr. Gerhart. said legislation to cover the scheme would be introduced at the next ses- sion of the Alberta Legislature. us- ually starting in February. It would be the first such legislation in can- ada and would start operation early in 1951.

At. present. such associations as the Law Society and Medical As- sociations admit or reject members and license them to practise. Mr. Gerliart said the government's at- titude was that it had delegated the licensing power to the associa- tions and now would take it back.
