Return OI Dostoyevsky

The current official Soviet de- nunciation of the late Josef Stalin may or may not be of any special significance, so far as Russia's future relations with the rest of the world are concerned. Time alone Will tell whether it represents a real change of policy from the Stalinist concept of government to a more liberal view or merely an attempt by the present rulers to excuse their own tyrannous conduct of the past. There is one development, however, that would seem to indicate a more positive and healthier approach to contemporary problems. This is the restoration of the great 19th cen- tury Russian novelist, Fyodor Dos- toyevsky, from the obscurity to which he had been consigned in the early days of the Bolshevik revolu- tion.

Dostoyevsky, a world celebrity in his day, attacked the injustices and corruptions of the Czarist sys- tem with great vigor and courage. He, too, was a revolutionary. his chief weapon being a deep religious faith which saw in a dedication to Christian love the salvation of the Russian people. For his criticism of the Czarist system he was approved by the political revolutionaries; and for his espousal of the Christian way of life he was condemned. For a while, the Communists were at a loss to know what to do with him. Finally, since their abhorrence of religion was more weighty than their detestation of Czarist rule, he was placed among the social and political heretics. Now, his works are being given wide popularity with the sanc- tion of the Kremlin,,and his name is being revered as that of "1! great Russian".

It would probably be foolish to suggest that the return of Dos- toyevsky to the good graces of the Communist Party irtiicates a re- newal of faith in the mysticism he advocated. Whatever it may mean, it. is somehow good to hear that the memory of at least one great Russian who had nothing to do with hate and tyranny and in- justice, social or political, hr. taking its rightful place in the lives of his countrymen. It could-though, of course, there is no assurance of it-- help modern Russia to find her soul.

Antarctic Outposts

Some of the earth's windiest and loneliest islands are now coming to life, in manls mounting invasion of the bottom of the world. From the "Roaring Forties" to the "Screech- ing Sixties" of Antarctic seas, dots of lands known chiefly to explorers and Whalers are sprouting weather stations, radio towers, and outpost settlements of half a dozen nations. The National Geographic Society lists some interesting examples of this trend.

France has sent men to Amster- dam and Kerguelen, Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, as well as to Antarctlci-1's Adelle Coast. Recently these onetime dependencies of4Mad- ngascar were given autonomous status as the "Southem and Antarc- tic French Lands," with their own budget and representative council in Paris.

On Kerguelen, 2,750 miles south- east of the Cape of Good Hope, gale winds blow 300 days a year, volcanic heat produces nine-month fogs, and "normal" weather is often too wild for ships to anchor. Yet plans re- portedly have been drawn for a major airfield there.

Some 860 miles northeast of Ker- guelen, mother French base and 1,500 cattle cling to a 3,000-foot vol- canic peak on Amsterdam Island, discovered by the Dutch explorer Vui Diemen in 1833. Near-by St. Paul. when the world's most re- mote labour eaniiory operated from 1908 to 1939, now is untonanted, u an the dangerous 11:: Ci-out north-' west of Kcrguelen. ,

To the south, than was on 'Auo-

Iner westward, Prince Edward and Marion Islands hold South African outposts. But Norway's Bouvet, be- yond in the South Atlantic, offers no foothold on its smothering glac- ier Cup.

South Georgia, flying Britain's flag 1,200 miles east of the tip of South America, is a major whaling base, despite weather fit only for its thousands of penguins. Deep in the storm belt that circles Antarctica, ii dead-flat calm can turn in minutes into a gale that lifts the ocean sur- face inblinding sheets of spindrift. Deception Island, just off An- tarctica's Palmer Peninsula. h0Id5 bases of Chile, Argentina, and Great Britain. From black - ash beaches spout springs of 190 degrees farenheit temperature-hot enough, it is said, to blister paint from whal- ing ships offshore.

The South Shetlands, South Ork- neys, and South Sandwich Islands below Cape Horn and the Scotia Sea all will see unprecedented traffic during the forthcoming Internation- al Geophysical Year of 1957-58. So also will Auckland, Campbell, Mac- quarie and the Balleny Islands south of Tasmania and New Zealand, step- ping-stones in sciencels assault on the Antarctic.

Perhaps the least-known Island of the South Atlantic is named Gough (rhyming with cough). Its thousand-foot cliffs jut from the sea 340 miles south of Tristan da Cunha, Englandls potato-patch colony of 300 people who bear only seven family names among them. Gough, its birds, seals, stunted trees, and millions of mice will be visited soon by a full-scale expedition sent out by the Royal Geographical Society of London.

DR. DEWAR'S POSITION

Sir, - I would like to clarify a number of misleading st cnts that have appeared in the press this week respecting the Increase in members' pay instituted at the last session of the Legislature. The publicity triggered by my casual remarks on the matter Saturday night was certainly unexpected.

In your front page article of April 24 you state: - "Dr. Dewar who gave the first intimation of the boost over the week-end, said that all three Opposition members had ,, f the measure but they could do nothing about ii."

I would like to point out that I did not suggest or state in any way either In my address Satur- day night, or to the editor of any newspaper in Prince Edward Is- land or to any other person "that all three Opposition members had opposed the measure."

This statement is made In jus- tice to myself and the Premier whose expose of the matter was quite frank.

with respect to not accepting the 3450. II I did not wish to do so, I would like to point out that I am very loih to turn down anything that will In any way benefit West Prince County, and especially the hospitals in that area. The cheque for 3450. was dated 29 March. 56, the day the House closed, which did not give much opportunity to forestall the issue of the amount.

As to my income tax exemption by reason of donating the amount to the hospitals, the following opiins are epriienin:

Firstly: II the amount were tox- abie then simple addition and sub- traction would leave my gain ex- lclly zero.

Secondly: As the amount was supposed to be for travelling ex- penses it would not be subject to income tax. and if the Premier is suggesting that I would use non-

” income to obtain credit against my taxable income then I am not flattered by his estimate of my integrity in the matter. I did not ask for any receipts on mailing the amounts to the hos- pitals, and do not intend to use them if supplied.

Thirdly: Tax regulations allow only up to 10 percent of net in- come to be claimed as exempt for charitable purposes. This limits considerably the tax benefits from benefactions of this type.

Fourthly: The 30 percent to 50 percent reduction In tax the Prem- ier suggests I might gain on this amount would place country doc- tors like myself In s 312.000. to 840.000. income fax bracket. It is pleasant to fancy but the beaut- iful halcyon days, when rural physicians in Prince Edward Is- Iand are in that enviable class. are. I am afraid. to the dim dis- tsiii future.

OUR YESTERDAYS

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (April 28, 1931)

The prevailing easterly winds of the past several days blocked Col- ville Bay so that it was with great difficulty the Magdalen, Sourls and Plciou, steamship S.S. "Lovat." made Sourls harbor Wednesday. The Lovat was accompanied by the Government ice-breaker N.B. Mac- Lean.

Due to the arrival of large quan- tities of Island potatoes on the mar- ket as a result of the release of stock held up at Borden. potato shippers are finding It difficult to obtain an outlet for table stock po- tatoes, especially at any price that warrants the grower hauling on the existing bad roads.

There has been a considerable increase In the number of car loads of turnips ”" J from Prince Edward Island this season over last. From Sept. 1. 1930 to AQFII 22. 1931. 646 car loads were shippedgas against 502 for the cor- responding period last season.

No one tears his hair out worry- ing about your fine and no one is sent around to collect. They just wait until the end 6f the year. Then it's settling up time. The whole month of January is devoted to the sole of new licence plates. Citizens first pay their fines andfhen get their plates. Theoretically, it's pay for the year's offences or don't drive.

But there's a catch. Drivers- llke drivers the world over-wait until the last moment to buy their plates. Officials attempt to avoid a last-minute rush by promising that fines need not be paid before getting the plates if the plates are bought before Jan. 15. Of course, this does not cancel the fine.
