MR. FENNELUS CAREER A business man prominent for

many ycais in Charlottetwn was Mr." Robert. Fcnneli, of whom the following details are given in "Past. and Present in Prince Edward 15- land":

Born here in 1841. Mr. Fennel) took passage in 1658 on the ship Prince Edward' for New Zeniand The owners of this ship were the smith family. About forty other passengers made the trip, among them Henry Merpeth, George F. Owen and his wife. who was a sister of Hon. Daniel Davies. and some mcmberit of the Haazard family. while Dr. Boswell was ship physic- tun. Mr. Fenncll remained with the vessel during the full trip, which required five and a half months. and spent two years in Auckland. Hz: next spent one and a half years in the South Sea sperm whale fish- eries in order to recoup his stint.- tered health, and then returned to Charlottetown. where he apprentic- ed himself with Thomas Alley to learn the carpenter's trade. A!- tcr completing his time he went. to the United States, where he spent. two years. Returning to Charlotte- town. he engaged in contracting and building. in which he was high- ly successful. having constructed some of the most prominent bulld- ings in the city. These included Sir Louis Davler residence. Brown block. Archdeacon R.eld's residence. the Upper Prince Street Methodist church, and other large contracts. . After continuing in this line for twenty-five years Mr. Fenmil dis- continued it and engaged in the hardware business with R. B. Nor- ton, under the firm name of Nor- ton and Fennell. six years law: they dlsaolved partnership and Mr. Fennell formed a. ” ' luoclg. tlon with Mr. Charles 11.

The Passing Scene

By Observer HOW LONG!

It seems that almost every day there is some incident that has in it. the possibility of world war. The latest, and probably the most serious since the end of the Kor- ean affair, is the imprisonment of thirteen Americans by Red China officials on what the Am- erlcan State Department calls "trumped-up charges" of espion- age. in the past wars have been caused by less serious incidents; and it. will be almost a miracle it this one is allowed to pass with- out some, sort of military action by the United States Government

Not. since the day of the Pearl Harbour infamy has American public opinion been so enraged in the Senate powerful voices are being raised in favour of force One Senator has called for im- mediate action even if it should make global war inevitable. Son- utor Kiiowland, Republican leader, says that the Chinese mainland should be blockaded forthwith. if the President were to ask Senate for a declaration of war against Red China tomorrow, it seems certain that he would have the document on his desk bcfoie nightfall.

-no

The heads of the armed force: are in a mood of anger and deep humiliation. There is reason to believe that they were lcss thuu enthusiastic about the Korean Armistice in the first place; this most recent incident will confirm their fears that the cease fire was a military and political blun- dcr. General VanFlecl. fornici Commander-in - chief of Pacific- forces, now retired. said only yes- terday that. since the Communists have violated the truce agree- ments on numerous occasions, the wnr should be reopened and cat- rlezl on to a successful conclusion.

All of these circunisfanves add up to ii very grave situation and almost anything can be expected. unless the Communists release the thirteen prisoners: there is very little likelihood of tiiclr du- ing that. Fortunately-if that is the right word to use here--Prc-l sident. Eiscniiowcr, who has tiirl last word to say for peace or wwr.l and his Secretary of State. Mr. Dulles. are determined tn avoid military action, if that be pos- sible. l

The reason for their stand is. of course. obvious. If war with Red China could be kept localiz- ed. it is safe to say that it would have broken out long ago. Per- haps it could; no one knows for certain that Soviet Russia would come to China's aid. Indeed. some lnternational experts Are, of the opinion that Russia would like nothing bettef than to see Red China bombed into impotence This theory is based on the be- lief that Mac and Chou are far too arrogant and potentially dan- gerous for Russia's own designs in Asia. That. however, is a mere speculation; there is no way of being sure that it has merit.

. . 0

President Eisenhower's t.iiink- lng. apparently. is based on the hciief that war with Communist. China would mean war with the whole. Communist world. the in- discriminate use of atomic wep- pons. and probably an issue of ruin for all countries involved. But neither President Eisenhower

.nor any one else can commit the

American people to one humilia- tion after another at the, hands of the Chinese Communists. There comes a time when it nation in distress, like an individual in dis- lress. begins to ask: "How long?" if the Communist powers have made up their minds that they can perpetrate outrage after out.- rage ivlth impunity. because the United States and other free mi- tions are fearful of what. atomic war might. do, will they stop at anything?

it is abundantly clear by now that neither their given word nor their signature to a pact is of the slightest value. Does it mean

the '

or one very like ii, is being gsthd with ever increasing urgency Sooner or later it will have to be answered, atom bombs or no atom bombs. .

Shortly after the news of the thirteen prisoners was announced one, influential American news: paper asked editorially: "What are we afraid of?” It then wen; on to say that in 1950 President Truman had to take just as nut is risk as President Elsenliouq; may soon be called upon to take When he ordered the armed SCI: vices to go to the aid of South Korea he did not know any mum than is known now-perhaps not as much - about Russia's more likely reaction to the venture.

As it turned out. the Korean war did not develop into a gLm,,,1 one. Perhaps a war with Red China would not. There is some reason to suppose that Soviet Russia will go to war only when her rulers believe they can win quickly and that an attack on Red China would, in itself, nmm nothing to them, even if they at.- ns friendly to the Chinese as llifll

make out.

No citizen of uny free nation, who is in his right mind. would like to see war with Red Cliilla or with any other country; but

on the other hand. no one ,,t his right mind can be, poi-m,,;l. c n tly tolerant of a situa1,,,,,
