YALTA 'ExPEDlENCY' A ,A century ago. when democracy

and the United States was faced with a.serles of crises. I number of social historians. among them de Tocqueville, Matthew Arnold and J. S. Mill. voiced I real cou- csrn for the futurenof govern- ment "by the peoP1l-

Their fear was that the p0Pll' lace would misuse the WW9? which democracy places in their hands, and use that POW?! "W" the impulse of blind instinct. rather than under the K111051109 of cultured intelligence.

The effect of such misuse of power could lead to H16 113110953 of all dlctatorships: the welfare of the commonwealth would be at the mercy' of the ever-changing side of an unlntellgent public opinion.

This wear has been expressed again recently by I number of

litical philosophers. and in the

st few weeks by Walter Lipp- man. But now. as we read the sorry story of the "statesmanship of expediency" at Yalta. and see politicians trying to capture that

ublic opinion which is the force behind such immoral statesman- ship. and as we look into a future where we shall walk in the "shadow of death" cast by the tower of cloud billowing above Bikini or Yucca Flats. the fear of the blind. instinctive power .of unintelligent public opinion is in- finitely more real.

To say these things. to point out the flaws in democracy as we see it practised in the Western World. is not to deny our whole way of life. But a, realistic evaluation of the strength and weakness of the basis of democratic institutions is the necessary first step to safe- guarding those institutions.

NOT INFALLIBLE ,

The basis of our -democracy is of course the "will of the people." But the "will of the people" is not. as some would have it. auto- nomous or infallibly right. The "will of the people" may have the right to invest power to rule. in some man or party; but

people have not the right to use that power. or to permit it to be used. against God's laws. And it is difficult. in I. world which wants to remove God from government. to make I whole populace con- 'scious of its obligation in wielding power according to God's will. Further. the "will of the,peo- pie" is not above the control of right reason. The mere fact that I majority of people in a society expresses an opinion, does not make that opinion conform to ob- jective truth. The "will of the people' 'often is a blind, emotion- al reaction. powerful but instinc- tive. When this is the case. the state is guided. not by reason and wisdom. but by passion. prejudice and the policy of expediency. As individuals in a democratic society. what is our obligation? First of all. we must make every effort to be aware. in so far as we can. of the political problems. national and international. of the society in which we live. The ap-

proach which our leaders take ,

to these problems. is going to determine,” in God's providence. the shape of things to come in Canada and the world.

But the power that those lead- ers wield is from God. given to them through our votes. and each of us still has the obligation to see how it is exercised. But that I cannot do unless I form intel- ligent judgments. These judge- ments can only be based on ac- curate information and sensible discussion. To take without critic- ism the opinions of newI-maga- zines. and make these opinions the premises of our thinking. is to sur- render the field to the publishers.

CONTINUE LEARNING

What is really involved in as- I.

surlng a really adult democratic rule. is the wider problem of adult education. To stop learning after high school or college. to use no”

if our democracy is to survive. it will be through the wise u. erclse of power. The obligation rests on each of us to use every means at our disposal to develop the ability to think clearly and justly on those topics. which are affecting. the course of our his- ory. .

In Memoriam

W. A. MIcMILLAN

iottctom. Hospital on March 7, 1955. William A. MacMillan oi Canavoy in his 79th year.

In apparent good health until

day previous to death, his passing came as I shock to family and friends. On March 6 he was taken to hospital to undergo an opera- tion which was thought might help, but God willed otherwise and fortified by the Rites of the Catholic Church to which he was a devout member, he passed away on above date. Of a quite. and pleasant nature, a kind and thoughtful neighbor Willie. as he was familiarly known. will be greatly missed not only by his family but in the com- munity of Canavoy of which he was a resident.

His wife, the former Mary E. Ryan. predeceased him in 1940. also one son Wilbert was killed in action in France in 1044.

He leaves to mourn three sons, Bernard and Michael of Canavoy; Pius of Moncton, N. 3.. daughter Annie (Mrs. Al Lewisl of Boston, Mass; Rose (Mrs. Francis Shea) of Boston. Mass.; Carolyn, (Mrs. MacDougalil of Canavoy with whom he had re- sided for the past six years. Also one brother, Laughiin of Boston, Mass.. and ten grandchildren.

The largely attended funeral was held from the residence of his daughter. Mrs. Carolyn Mac- Dougall on Thursday. March 10, to St. Andrew's Church where Requiem High Mass was cele- brated by the pastor. Rev. Geo. MacCormac. who also conducted services at the grave. Rev. W. V. MacDonald of St. Peters Bay was in the sanctuary.

Strange But True

I) I. I. MacArthur

This little story is about a child him became its own father A at least theoretically. The amazing case was recently reported at Bonn. Germany and reads some- thing like this.

.A couple with one child got I divorce and the man married his own mother-in-law. As the hus- band of the grandmother of his child he became the grandfather of his own child, while the grand- mother was also the child's step- mother.

The child's mother. being the daughter of the new wife. be- came sister of her own child. The court chairman observed: "Nothing can stop us from going right on with this until we have shown that the child as I grand- child and child of its father is also it own father."

There are organisms even smaller than a grain of sand, Some day scientists will unlock the door of the world's least used and greatest food storehouse. the ocean. When this takes place countless millions of dollars worth of sea food now unavailable (to humans will be put on the market at reasonably low 'prices and everyone will receive his share of this vast food treasure.

Even today five large research vessels ply the waters from Al- aska to Peru. and from Marshall Island in Baja, California.

of the sea are students from every country that borders on the sea. Along with foods. the sea con- tains many other valuable things which could be of immense value to the human race, For example, it is now known that kel, contains among other things, alginic acid. which prevents the formation of crystal in everything from paint to food. Two-thirds of the ice cream produced in America has kelp beds to thank for its creamy smoothness.

Only recently has it been dis- covered that some of the small- est living things in the world - bacteria - make their home 33,- 000 feet below the surface of the sea.

Whales always migrate by moon- light. In early spring or early sum- mer. these hordes of tiny silvery fish perform a curious dance. The females draw themselves upright like trained ballerinas. Then with a graceful movement each drills a niche with tail tip in the wet sand and deposits her eggs. The males then swim to the tiny nests and fertilize the precious eggs. Then they swiftly dart back into deep water. stirring up little mounds of sand and water in their wake.

Alsa trying to solve the riddles.
