Dealing with the . Polish problem, Mr. Churchill was equally explicit. In supporting the Russian claim for the Curzon line he repudi- ated any suggestion "that we are making a questionable compromise or yielding to force or fear," and asserted “with the utmost conviction the broad justice of the policy upon which for

Our Biggest Postwar Problem

“So long as any area provides children and educates them to send them elsewhere to get

a job the provision of education will be coni- paratively costly." This statement from the con- cluding pages of Dr. Lattimefs report of his economic survey of Prince Edward Island, published recently in these columns, points the way to the only practical solution of Ol.ll' edu- cational problems which have been the subject of so much concern. Dr. Lattiiuer goes on t0 ‘ say that “when such an area comprises a Prov- inee the ii is clarified.” In other words, our teachers are always likely to be underpaid, and our rate payers orertaxcd. so long as we are unable to absorb at home the finished product of our educational system, which is our own young mer and women competently trained. We must devise ways and means of keeping them here, by giving them reinuuerative mploy- ment. “The first essential is to get’ a job." All of Dr. Lattimer's excellent report may be said to deal with the why and wherefore of this prob- lem, and the means of solving it. Hence his em- phasis on the need of tuore water transporta- tion to gi"e access to nearby markets and bring in feed grain; of rural electrification on a prov- ince-wide scale; of reviving forest growth and’ making it an annual crop; of intensifying farin- ing through expansion of fruit, vegetables and canning crops; of processing farm and fishing products as far as possible; of expanding in- dustries other than agriculture; of decentral- izing industry, encouraging part-time farming and capitalizing the natural advantages for thc tourist trade by providing better communica- tion, better roads and better accommodation. These and many other suggestions for "rehabil- flatiou" are made, all bearing On the moot question of how we are to avoid the ruinous practice of “providing children and educating them to send them elsewhere to get a job." The advisory committee recently set up by the Pro- vincial Government will find this to be thc gist of its many problems. It may not be czisy tn work out a solution; but at least it is something to have our difficulties simplified in this man- ner, and to know just what we want to achieve.

Churchill's Great Speech

Prime hlinister Churchill's speech in the British House of Commons on the results of the Crimea Conference is the most important pronouncement on Allied aims which has yet been made. It abounds not only in fclicitous phrases, but in clear-cut policies and, abovc all, in evidences of absolute sincerity and glow- ing confidence with regard to the successful termination of the war and the ability of the Allies to work harmoniously and effectively towards lasting peace.

How clearly Mr. Churchill put the sittin- tion when he said that “instead of one peak period fading out or dovctailing into another there is an over-all or double-peak period in thc two wars which we are waging together on the opposite sides of the globe". This point was used to emphasize the continued shipping sliort- ages and the difficulties in the way of provid- ing for the needs of liberated territories.

The Prime Minister dealt effectively with the criticism that France had been slighted by not being invited to participate in the confer- ence at Yalia. “The first principle of Brit- ish policy in ‘(Vtlnffffll Europe," he said, “is a strong France and a strong French army. lt was, hoyvcver, felt by all the three great powers assembled in the Crimea that while they were responsible for bearing to an overwhelming degree the main brunt and burden of the con- duct of the war and policies intimately connect- ed with operations. ihcy could not allow any restrictions to be placed on their right to meet together as they deemed necessary in ordcr that they utight cffcctircly discharge thcir flu‘.- ies to thc common cause."

France will be invited to bear her full share isi operating the procedure llaid down in the declaration of liberated Europe. The arrange- ments made “show clearly the inrportatice of the role which she is callcd upou to play in thc settlement of Europe and how fully it is real- ized that she must be intimately associated with other great powers in this task."

The new world organization, Ur. Churchill emphasized, must take into account “thc special responsibility of the great powers and must be so framed as not to compromise their unity or their capacity for effective action if it is called lll short notice. At thc same time the world organization cannot be based upon dictatorship oi the great powers. It is their duty to serve the world and not to rule it.”

The former League of Nations will be re- placed by a far stronger body in which the United States will play a vital part. 'l.‘lic new body, unlike the old. "will not shrink from establishing its will against the evildoer nr the evilplanner in good time and by force of arms," --a statemcnt which carries tremendous implica- lions.

With regard to Germany, the Allies are re- solved that the country shall be “totally dis- armed. that Nazism and militarism in Germany shall be destroyed, that war criminals shall he justly‘ and quickly punished, and that all Gor- nian industries capable of military production

the first time all three great Allies have now taken their stand."

history of these momentous days, this latest speech of the British Prime Minister will hold an important place. It is the kind of speech one would expect to hear, on the eve of victory, from the lips that spoke with such fire and inspira- tion when all Europe lay prostrate, and Britain, her skies darkened with Nazi bombers,

Lest we forget. Mr. J. Forrester writes in Empire Neucr: While we are grousing on the quota, let's keep in mind that we did without sugar until the 13th century, used no coal fires until the 14th, had no butter on our bread until the 15th, knew no potatoes until the 16th, were ignorant of coffee, tea and soap until the 17th, went without gas, matches and electricity until the 19th, and uscd no points for canned goods until the 20th. Yet in those centuries Britain achieved greatness.
