Farm Credit Legislation
We do not think Agriciilture Min- ister Hamilton e.\;aggci'iited when, in introducing provisions this week for extending the authority to make loans through the Farm (‘retlit Cor- poration, he lernied this legislation “:1 new milestone in our attack on the problem of low-income farmers." The Opposition members evidently thought so too, for their only criti- cism was that it should be still fur- ther extended. llr. Thompson, th e Social Credit leader, went so far as to say that the amendment was so important that it should ‘)6 D1'0C99‘l' ed with immediately. without going to the standing committee on agri- culture as it customary.
The Farm Credit Corporation was established as successor to the Canadian Farm Loan Board in 1959, and it was charged specifically With the administration of long-term farm mortgage credit designed to meet the needs of Caiiaclian farmers operating under modern conditions. For the year ending March 31 last, loans were approved for a total of 368574.850, the average amount being $11,652. This represented an
jncrease of 5.1 per cent in the num- ber of loans approved, 12.9 per cent in the amount approved, and 7.4 per cent in the average size of loans compared to the figures for the fis- cal year 1960-61.. In this Province, 113 farmers qualified last year for loans amounting to $'i'i~‘,3i2ll0.
It may be, as Opposition mem-
bers have suggested, that the regu- lations should be changed to make it easier for small farmers to obtain loans. But’ this is a matter for ex- pert decision. According to the Cor- poration's report for last year, a number of applicants were ineli- gible for assislavice because they did not have enough security to permit it sound and constructive loan. These persons were advised to defer their application until they had sufficient equity to give them a better oppor- tunity for success in farming. or were directed to other sources of credit which would better meet their needs. I Others. it is noted, were turned down because they already owned an economic unit or had the resour- ces required to establish one. Re- gardless of the outcome, all had the benefit. of discussing farm organiza- tion, farm planning, and the use of all types of credit with a qualified representative of the Corporation familiar with their area.
Nothing is perfect, and if this Act can be improved upon the Gov- ernment should not hesitate to fol- low any worthwhile advice that is offered, from either side of the House. But. as it stands it represents one of the best means of aiding our farmers that any administration has yet devised in this country.
Lord Amory's Reminder All this talk about Common-
for entry into the European Com- mon Market is getting the British government pretty well fed up. This was evident in the blunt remarks of Viscount Amory, British high com- missioner for Canada, in his address to the Atlantic Provinces Economic - Council at Fredericton the other day.

cum uncanny Influx In weird! to carry as far as Ottawa.
What they conveyed was a re- minder of the fact that back in September, 1957, Mr. Peter Thorney- croft, British chancellor of the ex- chequer, offered on behalf of the British government to eliminate British tariffs on Canadian goods
if Canada would reciprocate. This offer of an Anglo—Canadian free trade area-which incidentally
would have been of great benefit to this Atlantic region——was given the briish-off. Britain waited for a. cou- ple of years before seeking, instead, to join the booming Common Mar- ket. Meanwhile further restrictions were being placed at Ottawa on cer- tain classes of British imports.
This was one good reason why, as Lord Amory said at Fredericton this week, “Britain cannot look to Commonwealth trade alone to pro- vide the export market we need. We wish indeed we could!”
“Heap big smoke. no fire,” is what all this “Commonwealth first" talk from Conservative apologists at Ottawa amounts to. It has not only failed to convince the British government as to its sincerity, but it is doing irreparable harm to British-Canadian relations at this juncture, and giving an impression abroad of Canada’s attitude which we believe to be quite at variance with Canadian opinion generally.
Himalayan Wrangle
It is on the fringe of the tower- ing Himalayas that the Indian- Chinese quarrel over “ilIegally-oc- c1ipied” land is being waged. There has been fighting and bloodshed, and the prospects are that the situation will deteriorate further with height- ened violence until winter closes the mountain passes. India has threaten- ed that it will “fight to the last man” to oust the Chinese from the territory, and China has warned In- dia that it will shoot or force down any intruding aircraft.
In this “top of the world” area, trying to figure who owns what would give headaches to any com- mission. There is an almost inexplic- able overlapping of claims, not only in the northeast where the fighting is going on, but in Ladakh, the Aksai Chin plateau, and In Sikkim between Nepal and Bhutan. What is sigiiificant to the outside world is that, for the first time in Commun- ist history, the Soviet Union is ac- tively working against a major Com- munisl. nation, by supporting India with transports and helicopters for use in the border skirmishes.
This lesson of putting national interests above “ideological brother- hood" will not he lost on the Chinese, who have committed themselves to building a strategic road through the disputed country to link south- west Sinkiang with Tibet. As one commentator puts it, for the Chinese to give up this area to the Indians is just about as possible as having the Indians give up Kashmir to Pakis-
‘ tan in the foreseeable future.
Already the impact of this dis- pute is being felt in the United Na- tions. India is no longer heard so loudly and clearly over its advocacy of Communist Chinese membership. The relations of Pakistan with China, too. can shift if the Indian- Chinese breach widens further, creating new problems in world diplomacy.
EDITORIAL NOTES
Those who worry about the danger of electronic “brains" evolv- ing in such a way as to outwit man and dominate him will be reassured by a statement of Dr. Philip Mor- rison, Cornell physlcist and “brain” authority, at a scientific meeting last week. “If we fear they will go too far on their own,” he said, “we simply pull the plug.”

It is lncouraging to note, on the authority of Mr. Hugh R. Montgom- ery, president of the Canadian Con- struction Association who is now touring the Atlantic Provinces, that this area's share of Canada’: $7.5 billion construction program for 1962 is estimated at $599 million-—an in- crease of 7.1 per cent‘ov¢r the 1961 volume figures, while the estimated national increase is expected to be about 5.7 per cent.

1066, French became the lang- uage of the upper classes though the church and law courts retained Latin. Anglo-Saxon, which had attained sophistica- tion with epics like Beowulf, ceased to exist in written form. It was cherished, however, as the spoken tongue of England‘: peasantry. ' In a vigorous comeback, Eng- lish absorbed the language of the Norman nobility during the 14th and 15th centuries.

To this day, farmers in the North of England preserve elements of Chaucerian speech in such col- loquialisms as stane for "stone." The invention of the Caxton press in 1476 helped standard- ize the language. The Renais- sance contributed 10,000 new words from all over Europe. B the colonial era stimulated English to its greatest expan- sion. Great Britain outdistanced France In the race for overseas territories in the 18th century; traders and explorers garnered further exotic additions to the tongue.

Canadians of Polish descent will take much pride in the an- nouncement that Canada will issue a special stamp to com- memorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sir Caelmlr Stan- lelaiuc Gnowokl.
Sir Cnalmlr was one of
the early builders Canada. Born in Poland and exiled to the
United States for his part in the 1830 uprising my country, he came to Canada in .1042 and became a citizen four years later.
:. an engineer he was ree- ponsible for building the Inter- national Brldge across the Niagara and for the Gran Trunk railway between Sarnla and Toronto. He was the first chairman of the Niagara Falls parka commission and planned
the park system along the Can- adian ilkle of the river.
He helped to found the Engin- eering Institute of Canada and established the Gzowskl in engineering. -
He wan an honorary aide - de- camp to Queen Victoria. prest. dent of the Jockey club of Tor- onto and of the Dominion of Ca- nada Rifle association, presldet of the council of Wycliffe col- lege of which he was a found- or, and for neerrl 20. was a member of the senate of the University of Toronto.
In acknowledgement of his distinguished services to Can- ada he was knighted by Queen Victoria. It Is fitting that the country that was the beneficiary of these services should now honor Slr Casimlr.
