iliialll Pasha's "Minions"

The Palace-supported Government 01 Egypt's Hilaly Pasha has announced that the general election scheduled for May 18 has been "indefinitely postponed." The rea- son for this departure from traditional con- stitutional practice is simple. Premier l-lilaly Pasha and his cabinet colleagues be- lieve that if a general election were to take place in the near future the Wafd, Egypt's largest and most intensely nationalistic pol- itical party, would be restored to power. The present Government wants n.ore time to smash the Wafd party machine before risking a return to parliamentary practices.

I-lilaly Pasha's bid for time reflects the hope of his Government that further con- cessions may be wrested from the British in the matter of the defence of the Suez Canal and the future of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Egyptian demands include the evac- uation of British troops from the Canal Zone and the recognition of Egypt's claim to exclusive sovereignty over the Sudan. The British have thus far remained firm in their position that any change in the status of Canal defences must embrace the establishment of a combined Middle East Defence Command, and that the future of the Sudan must be left to settlement by popular plebiscite.

In order to destroy the considerable popularity which the Wafd party still en- joys, I-iilaly Pasha's Government feels it must secure still further concessions from the British on these two thorny issues. Egyptls future, and the security of the Mid- pdle East itself, lie therefore somewhere be- ltween Hilaly Pasha's "minimum" demands and further British concessions. Under the circumstances, it is not improbable that a. general election in Egypt will be post- poned for a very considerable period of time.

iiorth Atlantic scaling

For the first time in its long history, the North Atlantic seal fishery was brought this year under some measure or interna- tional catch control. The Department of Fisheries of Canada approached the Nor- wegian and French governments to open the annual seal hunt at the "Front" on a fixed date, March 10. In other years Cana- dian sealers have usually opened their sea- son on March 13. while foreign vessels have sent their crews onto the ice several days earlier. '

Seal hunting in the Gulf of St. Law- rence and Strait of Belle Isle, carried out

, almost exclusively by Canadians, began on March 5. The interest in sealing has grown steadily since the end of the war, accord- ing to a Fishery Department publication. in addition to the Canadian and Norwegian fleets, a French vessel sailing from the is- land of St. Pierre took part in this yearls hunt.

Much is still to be learned about the

seal herds of the Atlantic, the article em- phasizes. although during the past three years valuable information has been gained through aerial surveys and a programme of tagging carried out by the Fisheries Re- search Board of Canada. The best estimate of the productivity of the sealgpopulation is the annual birth rate of 430,000 pups off the east coast of Newfoundland and about 213,000 in the Gulf of St. Lawrence I

All this and more Mr. Aneurln Bevan attempts to say in his much-heralded polit-

Like Hitler's "Mein Kampf". the socialist gospel according to Bevan is, in the words of The Economist, "less a book than an extended and diffuse pamphlet, in which meaning is often hidden in Celtic twilight and a rare devotion to long words for their own sake." Insofar as it is possible to identify any continuity of thought in Bev- an's "book", what finally emerges bears a much closer resemblance to fascist national- ism than to Communism.

Enterprise capitalism Mr. Bevan de-

inounces with commendable lack of lucidity

for committing the dual sins of producing too much and thereby creating unemploy- ment, and for using up too much in the task of production, thereby creating scarc- itles. The task of organizing scarcity is one which Mr. Bevan believes may best be left to the state..

The changing Map

When this country was first settled transportation was chiefly by water and early settlements were invariably close to river or sea. The coming of railways changed the pattern and highway trans- portation brought further changes. Today it is air transport that is changing the map once again. Communities mushroom up or stagnate according to the ease of com- munication.

This Province has had its prosperity and depression, closely linked with how its na- tural situation suited the efficient modes of transport of the day. Our Island situa- tion was a disadvantage in relation to both rail and road communication but our cen- tral position in relation to the other At- lantic Provinces and two continents offers the opportunity of substantial development.

Social security enthusiasts in and out of Parliament (says The Gazette) regard the absence of a Federal health insurance plan as the biggest gap i in Canada's existing social security program.

VVIIA'l"S IVIIONG WITH OUII HIGHWAYS AND STREETS?

Sir,-Ten or so years ago. at s time when highway construction was at its peak, road ,' miscalculsted on traffic growth, with the result that. highways and city streets believed adequate for 20 years or more are today over-. crowded snd are being reduced to

pulp.

Motor vehicles travel faster and twice as many miles as they did a decade or so ago. More trucks and heavier trucks are traveling ev- erywhere. and our highways and streets can't stand up under the terrific st:-sin.

We all realize that good high- ways are essential for those that use them in getting to and from their jobs every day, for those travel by bus, and for those on- gaged in trucking livestock and produce from the farms to the various shipping polnta uu ughout. the Province.

It costs a fortune to build good roads, but it costs more to build bad ones. as all Prince Edward Is- landers know to their sorrow. Is there a remedy? Perhaps. Put.- ting construction programs on an orderly long-range basis determin- ed by engineering analysis rather than by political ea. dlency would, I believe, be a move In the right direction. .

Comprehensive studies of our rond needs. community by com- munity, followed up with wise ox- pendlture-snd by wise expenditure i" don't mean cutting cost, might. in the long run. give us the kind of roads that would stand up to present day traffic. Too, our high- way financing program calls for better management regardless of which party is in power-with an end to discussion of automobile and truck license fees from road building. for which they are ear- marked. to other purposes. A few toll bridges and roads could be

pay for themselves.

The highway problem is every- body's baby. It presents a chal- lenge to all citizens, for unlike the alrlanes and acslsncs, hlghwsyo are man-made and it is up to us to see that they are not neglect- cd but are made adequate-snd kept adequate-to meet. the over- lncresslng demands put upon them.

we must familiarise ourselves with what is needed locally snd than make our influence as cit- izens folt aggressively. Any furth- eJ-deterlcrstlon of our highway

HIGH SCIIOOI4 EDUCATION

sir.-I am happy to note that we are hearing from some of the ache in who, judging from the letter of May 30th, are teachers for the profession and not for filthy lucre's sake. Dr. Phillips surely approved of our having Grades XI and XII in every vil- lage school on the Island. In this way our fine country boys and is would not be deprived of their God-given right to a High School education. In s free coun- try such as ours, why should any- one bc deprived of this right? Though a unified system with two years, Grade XI and XI! is preferable to the Atlantic Board Grade XI, yet in the eight or so years of its existence on P. E. I., this Grade XI has given downs of boys and girls a wonderful op- portunity. They have come Charlottetown and become teach- ers or nurses. Had they not a Grade X1 in their own '

most of them would not have had more than elementary schooling. And, these are the boys and the girls who are going to remain or: an mothers of the future generations. The few who go to universities for
