Allies. And Partners A welcome visitor to Charlotte- town this week was the Hon. Rich- ard B. Wigglesworth, United States _ Ambassador to Canada, whose ad- ported in our issue of yesterday. The | emphasis, placed by Mr. Wiggles, worth on the “fundamentally heal- | thy” relationsbetwetn his country _ and ours, and the fact that we are making progress in solving common | problems and laying the groundwork | for future co-operative activities, is | also to be welcomed. It is a view in _ which we are in full agreement, and | of which we have had many | evidences in recent months. Noth- | ing is more gratifying than this cord- | ial relationship, as it was dramatic- | ally underlined at the opening of the _ St. Lawrence Seaway. E As the Ambassador pointed out, | the difference between our £wo sys- | tems of government has caused some | misunderstanding. In the United | States there is complete separation _ of the executive and legislative pow- ers, which makes for delay in solv- | ing many current problems at the | government level. But there is no dif-: ' ference of this kind in our basic conceptions of freedom and democ- _ racy, in our standards of justice, our respect for law and order and our desire to maintain our way of life in peace and security. We have a great advantage over _ adjoining nations in Europe in‘ the fact that we speak one language and _ have so’many traditions and ideals
‘i
and forth across the boundary line, visiting relatives and friends. And in matters of continental defense we are already, to all intents and pur- poses, one nation; for we know that if an aggressor strikes it will be at _ both, and that our destiny is too close- _ ]y linked ever to be separated with- _ out results that would be mutually _ disastrous. As Mr. Wigglesworth _ well said, it is only as “allies and _ partners” that we can hope to march _ forward successfully. We are thank- ful for having such an ally, and such a partner, in these troublous times.
Steel Strike Implications
he prolonged U.S. steel strike prompts the Christian Science Moni- tor to ask, somewhat plaintively, how the American people, after half a century of effort to render_com- petition between labor and manage- ment’s divergent interests less destructive, finds itself at this pass with regard to one of the nation’s basic industries. ‘ So long as it was between a free employer and a free worker, says _ the Monitor, the relationship was reasonably fair. One could hire or ~~ refyse to be hired, each on his own _ terms. When the industrial revolu- tion changed the pattern of con- centrations of capital versus mere aggregations of workers the balance ' ghifted. This last half century re- cognized that bargaining between the lone worker and the corporation is no bargaining. And it accepted the _ necessity of labor organizing and ‘bargaining collectively. Also that _ such bargaining can have continuing -“fheaning only between equals and if held within the bounds of rational _ rules with a referee to » blow the . whistle on “fouls. A whole sequence of U.S. federal laws, including the Wagner, Taft- Hartley, and the recent “Labor Re- from” Acts stands as a testimonial to this half century of effort. Implicit _ in these laws has been the conviction _ that private bargains should be \ struck between private parties. But
the ramifications of today’s collec- _. tive bargaining are such that if a dispute becomes deadlocked the liveli- hood, welfare, and even safety of _ “bystanders can be used as leverages
by each side against the other. Such

Juvenile Decency
We hear a lot about juvenile delinquency, both in Canada and the United States; and there is no doubt a problem here, especially in the larger centres. But the publicity this matter has been getting has obscur- ed the fact that only a fraction of the youngsters in any community are involved in such activities. The New York Board of Education has pointed up the postive side of the picture with a report on the thousands of pupils who took part last year in constructive, civic-eminded work un- der school auspices,
Commenting on this youth report, the New York Times says: “Juvenile
decency may not draw sensational -
publicity, but it should be remem- bered that far more of a city’s yount people are actively engaged in worth- while activities than ever run afoul of the law.” In New York, it notes, “school civic clubs have led a com- munity-wide clean-up campaign; run errands for elderly and disabled per- sons in the neighborhood; collected food and clothing for the children of needy coal miners, and helped raise funds to equip an educational centre in Liberia, to name but a few of their activities. Certainly yaungs- ters who devote their time to work like this are well on the road to good citizenship. They deserve our salute.”
The same could be said for our young. people in communities ll across the continent. Certainly these comments apply to Canadian com- munities, large and small. The trouble is that it is lawless activities that make the headlines, while good deeds often go unrecorded.

‘Butter prices, skyrocketing on the world market since last May, have hit the highest level they can reach without starting a consumer swing to margarine. The big price increase has been due. partly to Europe’s unusually hot summer, which reduc- ed milk output, and partly to large increases in the use of milk for mak- ing cheese. These were the major points in a summary of the current butter situation presented in Rome to the Food Agriculture Organizat- ion’s committee on commodity pro- blems.

In the Council Chamber, the
Prime Minister himself is un- questicnably “The First,” albeit techincally “among equa!s.'’But his twenty-two “equals” in name include five most able lieutenants in fact, among them already Hon. David Walker, who has correctly but horribly been nick- nemed a “Diefenbuddy.” In this “inner circle’ {s Mart timer George Nowlan, Minister of National Revenue, a_ stand-out politician and administrator, who has been underestimated by the public and indeed by some professionals. Also in it is Hon. Davie Fulton, the brilliant young Minister of Justice from Kam- loops, who ran third to Diefen- baker and Fleming in the Con- servative leadership convention three years ago. ~
TWO DARK HORS
The two other Ministers rated as among the five “middle powers” of the Cabinet are de- ceptive, not flashy nor noisy, but typical members of the Peo- pie’s Party which John Diefen- baker has fashioned out of the eld Tory tradition. These two, quietly exuding sincerity, compe- tence and honesty, are Labour Minister Mike- Starr, a form- mer Mayor of Oshawa, and De fence Production Minister Ray O'Hurley, a former.

New Star In the Cabinet
By Patrick Nicholson The Ink ef the Governor-Gen- who, in his former career, In his
early fifties had already carved out for himself an honoured posi- tion as a leader of the Ontario Bar. He has been a steadfast Con- servative, first gaining note as
‘president of the Macdonald-Car-
ing money for a charitable pur-
ter when a student at Toronto University,
It hag been widely forgotten that, at the convention held in Winnipeg seventeen years ago, a young Toronto lawyer propoved a@ young Saskatchewan lawyer for the national leadership of the Conservative Party — and got booed for his belief: Since that day, the Torontonian Walker has been a staunch supporter and loyal friend of the Saskatchewite | Diefenbaker.
STAY IN BIRTHPLACE
That is not correct — I should. say the Ontarian Diefenbaker. For the Prime Minister, like the three other Prairie Cabinet Min- isters, Gordon Churchill, Doug Harkness and Alvin Hamilton, was born in Ontario.
We may think of ourselves as
grants; and yet, with these ex- ceptions and that of England- born George Pearkes, all our present Ministers were born in or near their present homes or at least in the same province.
Dave Walker perhaps exempll- fies this stay-putness more thas any of his colleagues; for he was born and raised, has lived, and has _ elected to Parliament, all in the same district of Toronto.
He proudly calls himself “The Cabbage-town Kid” in-honour of his birthplace, as his“friends jok- ingly reminded him with the ve- getarian table decorations when they recently tendered or atrend- ed a very select stag party in his honour — near Cabbage-town. His newness to politics — he has
en a Member of Parliament enly 28 months — was underlin- ed by the complete absence of politicians from that gatherize of his close friends. His facile climb to his present high prestige in the Cebinet was neatly expressed by a very distinguished speaker aueas those stags, who conju- gated his achievements in life as “suecess, excellence, eminence” —success at the Bar, excellence in Parliament, and eminence in the Cabinet..
Hon. David Walker is a new star on the Ottawa scene whom al! Canada will notice.
The Mitterand Affair
By David Rowntree Canadian Press Staff Writer
“The Mitterand affair’ is the most melodramatic of recent events that have revived a cloak and dagger atmosphere in Paris.
Some observers say the pres- ent situation is similar to that before May 13 last year when the Algiers uprising tappled the Pflimlin government and led to the emergence of de Gaulle as saviour of the republic. Then as now the extreme right wing of French politics is ready to do anything to prevent Algeria gain- ing independence.
On Oct. 15, Lucien Neuwirth, a pro-Gaullist deputy, warned that “commandos of killers have crossed the Spanish frontier wita lists of public figures marked for extermination.” He said de Gaulle was one of those design- ated.
Early the next day, Sena- tor Francois Mitterand reported, men armed with a machine-gua tried to assassinate him.
NATURAL TARGET
Mitterand would be a natural target for fanatical right-wingers. As minister for the interior un- der Premier Pierre Mendes- France, he was directly respon- sible for affairs in Algeria when the rebellion began in 1954. He has been in the forefront of groups secking a Liberal solution to the Algerian problem.
The melodrama was heightened last week when a former right-’ wing deputy, Robert Pesquet, said the shooting was a hoax. Mitterand had asked him-to do it to discredit the rightists. Pes-
quet says he agreed to stage the
mock assassination attempt to expose Mitterand.
Mitterand’s version is that he had seen Pesquet before the shooting because Pesquet wanted to warn him he was marked for murder. He did not tell the po- lice, he said, because he isn't a stoolpigeon.
All that Mitterand told the po- lice was that he didn’t know who his attackers were. Because of this discrepancy, the public pros" ceutor is seeking to have Mit- tcrand’s parliamentary immunity lifted so that he can be charged with contempt of justice.
SEES PLOT ’
Besides the Neuwirth and Mit- terand charges of conspiracy, Al- bin Chajandon, secretary of the rro-Gaullisf’Union for the New Republic, also swears that a plot against the state exists.
By all reports, the army is keeping its hands clean and there seems little reason to believe it is joining forces for another coup d'etat. Nevertheless, de Gaulle issued an order of the day Wed- nesday saying he counts on “‘the men of the army to ensure the success of my plan for Algeria.”
Two weaknesses in the political setup favor the ultras:
1. De Gaulle alone has the in- fluence to control emotions in the army and in parliament.
2. There is, no parliamentary way for removing de Gaulle as president under the constitution ot the Fifth Republic and this encourages conspiracy asa means of changing or influencing the government.
India’s Northeast Frontier
\ National Geographic . Society
The Northeast Frontier Agency of India is not a government bur- eau, but a strange, wild area bordering Bhutan, Tibet, and Burma.
Indians have complained re- cently that Chinese Communist troops in Tibet have trespassed into the Agency. The Chinese have published maps showing part of it as their territory. The disputed region is a tangle of cense forests and rugged moun- tains where it is difficult to pin- point a border.
The Agency covers 33,000 square miles in the Indian state-of Assam. Tucked between the plain of the Brahmaputra Ri- ver and the Himalayas, the area includes subtropical jungles where sunlight barely penetrat- es, fertile mountain valleys, foot- hills, and peaks, Some _ hillsides still are marked by scars from a tremendous earthquake that rocked the area in 1950,
WILD LIFE ABOUNDS : Much of the Agency is a huge
game preserve, abounding in baf-
falo, elephant, tiger, leopard, bear, and many species of deer. It is one of the few remaining haunts of the Indian rhinoceros.
The Northeast Frontier Agency also is the home of primitive tribes that have been living al- most undistufbed for centuries in the same hills and valleys.
The tribesmen hunt, fish, and carry on a destructive form of cultivation called Jhoom, in which forest growth is burned and seeds are scattered in the warm ash. The only implements they use are sticks and daos, which are daggers of varying length.
Such simple agriculture is in sufficient to feed the aborigines; ‘hey seldom have enough food to last them through the year. Thus they lead a seminomadic life, moving to new farm plots.
ahabharata, a great Indian epic \written 2,000 years ago, de scribed these tribesmen as “‘gol- cen peoples who dwell. . among the mountains of the east. ...who live on wild fruits and roots and are clad im the skins of basse

QUESTION AND ANSWER
Mrs. G. R, H.: Can you tell me how to prevent jealousy in children?
Answer: Jealousy in children can usually be minimized by treating the children equally and making every effort to avoid
for any child. Usually this is a passing phase. In many cases the parents are at fault consciously or unconsciously, In severe cas- es, psychiatric consultation may be needed.

Curiously many of the tribes are ruled by women and in others wives have equal status with hus- . bands.

Plan For Canadianism
The Ottawa Journal
In Japan every school child is taken on a tour of historic shrin- cs where he is told of great events in his nation’s past and of the heroism or wisdom of leaders.
Canada perhaps is too big to have British Columbia children see where Cabot landed (if New- foundiand and Nova Scotia can ever ‘agree where he did) on the Atlantic shore or Qiiébec young- sters visit the shell of Fort Prince of Wales on Hudson Bay where French arms prevailed so long
‘0. . Distance is 8 handy excuse for doing nothing. Furthermore, there is the second line of excuse that education is a. provincial matter and interprovincial tours for ju- veniles might cause disagree- — over the truths of his- ory.
WOULD BE STRENGTHENED Yet we think Canadianism would be strengthened if prairie boys could travel the waste of mountains and see the rock on the Pacific shore where Alexan- der Mackenzie came first by land across the continent. New Brunswick elementary students would have a new sense of na-
tional unity, we hope, if their
teachers brought them to Ottawa to see Parliament in session and learn how the problems of all 10 provinces are here made the con- cern of one government.
The Japanese maintain the fires | -
by their visits to ancient shrines. The Scots chil- dren walk the brave ground’ of Bannockburn; English youths ‘ook from the river to Runny- mede where John signed a char- ter of freedom; the French stand near the place where the Bastille once was symbol of injustice, and the Americans, the agony ot civil-war eased by the passage
of the cenfiry, walk reverently the battlefields where a divided nation poured out its blood.
BADLY NEEDED
But in “Canada—what? A visit to Fort Henry and a “what's that?” as Fort Wellington at Prescott is glimpsed! What have we done to tell children about
Crysler's Farm when on Seaway tours? What, indeed, have we done anywhere to make history more than a chore? With all our airplanes and wealth and eager- ness to have Canadians love their own land there ought to be more than television programs, spon- sored by soap, to inform and _in- spire our children with the proud history they have inherited. There should be visits and explanation and the growth of pride in a na- tion.
