- Causeway Resolution John A. Macdonald, MP. for x's, is to be commended for his.

slans to introduce a resolution. in

Parliament calling on pthe Federa!

sovernment “to give earnest con-—

ideration to ‘the advisability’ of ti ing” construction of the pro- P.E1.-N.B. causeway.” We trust that other Island members i those from our neighbouring pvinces will support Mr. Mac- Jonald’s representations to the best their ability. vi.

It is unlikely that a decision on the causeway will be made during currentsession of Parliament— "for, apparently, the technical sur-

ys have not yet been completed.

pre is no reason, however, why Government should not make n interim report on the studies al- ready carried out, so that we may have a fairly good idea of what to xpect in the future. Above all else, ithe Government must be reminded that the people expect the cause- sway to be built as soon as possible, providing the results of the survey are satisfactory. Mr. Macdonald’s esolution will provide a good op- ‘portunity for this to be done with the necessary emphasis.

It*is gratifying to note, too, that Mr. Macdonald and, presumably, his fellow-representatives, will press the Government to expand the pre- sent ferry service to meet imme- diate transportation problems. This is also a matter of great importance —in its way, just as important as the building of the causeway itself.

Disturbing Legislation

How “democratic” is the Gov- ernment of South Korea whose ‘security is pledged by the United ‘Nations and which receives upwards of $400 million a year from the United States in direct military aid?

A short time ago the Govern- ment brought in a_ so-called “National Security Law,” the chief provision of which is that “arty per- son who disturbs the public by al- leging or disseminating facts in a oe way, thus benefitting the enemy, shall be punished by penal servitude for not exceeding five ee t President Syngham Rhee main- tained.that the law was aimed sole- ly against Communist - troublemak- ers,_-Members of the Democratic Party opposition, however, took the view that it could easily be used to ‘@urb opposition to Government policy; and, of course, they were Tight. When opposition members ‘started a fight against the bill, they were evicted from the National As- sembly by guards on orders of Mr. Rhee. Government .forces in the As- sembly then passed the measure unanimously. This was scarcely a “democratic” procedure.

The possibility of renewed con- flict in Korea is always present. If U. .N. members, who sent troops and other assistance in 1950 are ever asked to do so again, they will want to be sure that what they are defending is really a part of the “free world:’

Top Quality Cheese

An amendment to the,Canada Dairy Products Act passed some years ago provided that ‘“extrane- ous matter analysis” of cheese be- come a factor in determining grade. According to a report from the Federal Department of Agriculture, this effort to produce the finest possible product has achieved re- sults. During the ten months of last year about 98 per cent of all cheese graded fulfilled the require- ments of Canada First Grade.

Canada was the first country to undertaké~ this type of analysis. This is the way it works: A sample of cheese is taken from each vat, graded and forwarded to a central laboratory at Ottawa where analy sis—is carried out. Samples are re- ferred to as Disc 1, Disc 2, 3 or 4. The first two discs qualify the

March Of Dimes

Once again the annual March of Dimes appeal is underway. We be- speak for it a cheerful and gener- ous response.

Poliomyelitis is not the scourge it was only a few years ago, thanks to Salk vaccine and other preventive methods, -themselves the result in part of research made possible by the March of Dimes. But it is not “licked” by any .means; and, of course, there are the many prob-

lems associated with rehabilitation |

which have to be attended to. It all costs monéy, a great deal of money; and it is money well spent on the promotion of human happiness and the eradication of human misery.

In this Province, the local Chap- ter of the Canadian Foundation for Poliomyelitis has done and is doing excellent work in the rehabilitation of polio patients and other crippled persons. A special project for this year, provided the necessary amount. of money is forthcoming, is a sum- mer camp for crippled children. This is a big undertaking; but it is also a worthwhile one, entitled to the support of us all. If enough dimes—and dollars—are made avail- able, this Province will take another important step forward in its laud- able public health program.

A Surprising Attack

Halifax Chonicle-Hearid

THE criticism by New Bruns- wick Member of Parliament H. J. Robichaud of the manner in which»the federal Fisheries de | partment has been trying to curb | lobster poaching may go over well with those who commit the violations but to most other peo- ple it Will appear he is playing a brand of politics that is not to be applauded

Mr. Robichaud, .nore than the average M.P. or the average Ca- nadian, should know better than fo accuse the department of “Cu- ban” tactics in the enforcement of the law or to suggest that fish- eries officers shoule be trying to

educate lobstermen about the follies’ of poaching’ ~ather than prosecuting ‘hem.

groups of lobsternien, large and small and hav even ‘enlisted the services of clergymen and other community leaders in the fishing districts to apply the teaching process on a continuing basis. It seems unfair, then, that he should try to leave the impression that fisheries officers have resorted to what he calls hide-and-seek. and have flot coa- ducted educational activities.

One would be led to think by some of the Gloucester mem er’s statements that all of the: saints are among the lobstermen and all of the sinners among the fish- eries officers. If this is the ‘ase then the public has been hood- winked for a long time by stories about barns of officers being mysteriously burned down about their unarmed patrol boats be ing fired on and even about the still unsolved murder of one in- spector along the north shore of New Brunswick severe’ years ago.

As with most skin diseases, the victims worry about psori- asis a good deal. Even though their clothing may hide the af- fliction, it cant hide their em- barrassment over it.

I'd like to emphasize right here, though, that psoriasis is not catching. So if you know that a friend has this disease. don’t avoid him. Instead, urge him to seek medical help.

his needs. High party members live like czars. And ordinary workers live like ordinary work- | ers. It is the ordinary workers who we assume are saving their money and putting it in govern- ment institutions to get 3 per cent interest. The Russian visitor to Chicago who revealed the system said nobody 'was going to get wealthy on the 3 per cent deal. LESS VARIETY

Why do the ordinary workers have a surplus of cash? Their wages are much, much lower than those of American ordinary workers. The answer: They have fewer consumer goods to buy than American workers have. So, fo ease the money out of the pro- letarians’ pockets, the govern ment pays 3 per cent on money that isn't of much use to the | workers anyway.

But this is not a reversion to pre - Communist capitalism. The Communists can, under their sys- tem, change the value of money at willy appropriate all money in circulation, including that draw- ing interest, and issue new money to replace it. '

Thus, what the Soviet govern ment is practicing in getting workers tO turn over their sav- ings to the government is not
