CHAllf.0T'l'ETOWN, SATl'RDAl'. JUNE 13, 1953 And liow For The Election

Public attention could not be diverted to electioneering prior to the Coronation and Prime Minister St. Laurent properly and wisely refrained from taking up the mattel of an election (late until the supreme pag-

nantry of that event is past. The date now .-elected. August 10, is as late in the sum-

mer as was at all practical to allow CllLlill--

craters in find the voters still at home: the fact that it also marks the opening of illd Home Week is neither here nor there.

It is unfortunate tllat this Province again ignored in the cabinet appointments made ill anticipation of the election. Mr. J. Watson Macxaught. M.P., Q.C., the par- liamentary assistant to the Minister of Fisheries could with advantage have been raised to Cabinet l'ank, and it would be only fair to the Province to have recognized our status in this manner.

Thc last four years have seen far-reach-, in: changes in this country, which no doubt,

will be duly cnlphasi7.ed by Government spokesmen. We have stopped from a post- war period right into the Cold War, bring- ing with it the extension of the Govern- ment's emergency powers. the expansion of our armed forces. the sending l'nited Na- tions forces to Korea and N.A.T.O. forces in Europe.

The Government has taken further steps.

in social legislation, extending the national health programme, bringing in universal old age pensions at 70 and at 65 with a means test. l'nivcrsity grants are provided on a population basis. Retail price fixing was outlawed.

The Coastal Fisheries Act was revised, as was the Food and Drug Act. The Crim- inal Codc has been long under revision but at. prorogation remained in the hands of a Commons .committee. The Cost of Living index has a successor in the Consumer Price Index. It has been provided that the

Postmaster General may increase payments. l

under contracts for carrying the mail.

Constitutional changes include speci- fically naming Canada in the Queen's Royal Style and Title, making the Supreme Court. of Canada the final court of appeal. and empowering Parliament to amend the con- stitution so far as it relates to matters that are purely Federal.

The Government has been under sharp criticism for assuming excessive powers, for heavy ibxpenditure without proper checks and safeguards and for permitting Commonwealth and foreign trade to fall off and prices to rise. As the campaign warms up. these and other charges will doubtless be fully discussed. If there are no clnar-cut issues between the major parties such as existed in years gone by, there are enough minor ones to provide. ammuni- tion on both sides for a lively electoral battle.

Mr. Pearson's Warning

A lillltll)7llHll'llll"lE has been sounded by Hon. Lester Pearson, Canada's External Affairs Minister. with regard to the serious differences which appear to be developing over the situation in Asia, and to the need of clarifying the issues at the impending Big Three conference in Bermuda. As President of the United Nations General Assembly. Ml'. Pearson's words will carry weight throughout the free world. Briefly, he points out that there is no dispute over the necessity of resisting Communist mili- lary aggression. On the other hand, oth- er new forces have swept across the Far East since the Second World War, related to "the awakening urge of millions of Asians for national freedom and a better life." "If we of the West," he says, "are not able to 'agrce on'thc distinction between those two forces which require a different approach and u'ndcrstanding by us, our co- operation ih this part of the world may weaken and disappear to the joy land re- lief of those forces centred in Moscow and Peking who are using foul means and fair

bring about just such a result.”

The chief centre of interest today, of course, )3 the Korean situation; but this cannot be isolated from the overall problem of United. Nations policy in the Far East. Britain, for example, has been lighting a war against the Malayan jungle Commu- nists for.t.li! past five years; it. has-brought the Krdyfililn-fa forces there to a virtual

is,

wounded, tortured or mutilated in this ' struggle with guerrilla terrorists. Whole communities have been uprooted and the lives of millions affected. Mr. Pearson did not cite this instance, but he no doubt had it in mind in echoing President Eisen- howerls warning that ”no nation can go it alone any more," and that agreement on broad policies of economic and social bet- terment is as necessary as successful mili- tary co-operation. - Review At Spithead

The frigate H. M. S. Surprise, acting temporary Royal yacht, has a proud role' to'play Monday when the Queen stands on the specially built-lip forecastle to re- lview hen navies and the ships of friendly: powers. Some 270 ships will be assembled in twelve long lines extending to the west-l ward from the entrance to Portsmouth; harbour. In addition there will be a fringcl, tof private yachts and small boats, includ-l ling Sir Winston Churchill's own fleet, thei- lifeboats of Trinity House.

Each ship will be ”dressed over all", every flag in the locker being strung from stem to stern. More than 50,000 men will line the rails as the big guns roar a Royal salute.

It is a very different fleet from that re- viewed in 1937 wllen the Royal Navy dis- played eleven battleships. This time there is but one, the 42,500-ton Vanguard. The emphasis today is on smaller ships capable in strategy involving air land undersea warfare.

The fact is that neither Ottawa nor British Columbia is over aim. ous to tackle the problem with energy for the simple reason that neither government. knows exnrllx what. is best to be done. It is Just another case of the reaping hr the whirlwind that followed the sowlng of the wind. The pl-csrul fiasco would not have lulpucuut if the Duokhobol-a - the Deare- able and the unruy alike -- hall been made to understand at the beginning that freedom to indulge in strange rites does not lncltldr the right. to practice acts at tr!"- rorism.

The Government. which allowed the first Doukhobor immigrants to settle in Manitoba was guided by two considerations. The first was hllmanitallan in principle. New and growing communities are generally more tolerant of religi- ouli dissent than older ones. In Czal-int. Russia the Doukhobors had been proscribed, plllorled, and persecuted. In Canada no one would interfere with their religious be- liefs however fantastic these might seem.

Britain is already well in the lead with jet transports and now it is proposed by 1958 to have an airliner capable of cros- sing from London. to New York in six hours, and return the same day. The claim that it "puts Britain six years ahead of any competitor" would seem to be well justified.
