. hopes, by such meetings, to become more familiar with the different re- gions of Canada. Here it has the op- portunity of getting to know the cradle of* Confederation. It will, in fact, meet in the historic Confedera- tion Chamber.

There could be no better place in

* which to get a sense of history and

. from which to:take its bearings. The Fathers—of—Confederation indeed

* “builded better than they knew,”

giving us a Canada which is a great _ country. To follow their example we must show an equal vision.

The Canada Council is charged

—with the-development of the great- “est resources that any country can have;—its-people. That is something > that Islanders well understand. We have had to recognize that a relative- ly small Island is limited in material productions but that there is nothing to prevent our giving to the world men and women who can take their

** place anywhere.

Canada today is so wealthy that there is a danger of accepting purely , materialistic. standards and forget- ting that wealth is for man-rather— + than the other way around. \We can best pay our debt to the founders and builders.of this country by giv- ing our young people the opportunity. to develop their abilities to the ful-~ Jest extent. | That is the great task of the Can- ada Council. It deserves the fullest support of every citizen.

Mostly Failures

Officially, the conference of for- eign ministers just recessed in Gen- eva is the ninth such meeting since 1945, when the war ended in Europe. Most of the nine, including the lat- est, ended in disagreement over Ger- many. Here, in summary, is the re- > eord, as compiled.

1945, London—Made a start on Italian treaty.

1946, Paris—Called conference to draw treaties with all Axis powers except Germany and Japan.

1946, Naw York—Approved trea- ties with Bulyaria, Finland, Hungary, Italy and Rumania.

1947, Moscow—Broke up after seven weeks of argument about Ger- man and Austrian peace treaties.

1947, London—Same _ subjects game failure.

1949, ParisSame subjects, same failure.

1954, Berlin—Failed to reach agreement on Austria and Germany, agreed on far eastern conference at Geneva which brought case fire in Indo-China.

1955, Geneva—Followed a sum- mit conference,,saw collapse of sum- ‘mit agreement to reunify Gérmany ‘through free elections. ;

1959, Geneva—Failed in -longest session (nine and one-half weeks) to agree on German future and resolve west -Berlin cristSs brought about«by Russian ultimatum.

Now the Berlin crisis and the Ger- man problem go hack in the freezer. It will remain there while President Eisenhower and Premier Khrushchev have their cfnsultations; which is about all the/aatisfaction the Soviet leader is pr¢pared to give at this * time.

Amazing Detective Device

Project Tepee, the newly disclosed *monitoring device that can “look” around ” launchings\ahd atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons, unquestionably, gays a contemporary, is a major ad- dition to the defense capability of America and the west.’

The new system gives-us, first of all, a further means of. determining what the Russians are up to’ in the . missile and nuclear fields. It-supple- ments and may subsequently replace the radar detection devices in Tur- key and other lands close to the So- viet Union which have kept watch over Russian rocket Iaunchings. It ! rently will not replace the radar Mies across Canada that warn of ap- ne fact that Tepee stations have

been used increasingly for well over. a year, with an apparent gain in ac- curacy, gives credence to recent statements of Defense Secretary Me- Elroy. McElroy has said, for instance, that Russia has encountered some of the same missile problems we have and does not yet have an extensive arsenal of intercontinental weapons.

The fact that Project Teepee might

_ give America an extra 15 minutes’ ‘warning of a missile assault is re- assuring, if only to a degree. For civilians the 15 minutes might mean’ relatively little. But the warning time—twice what systems now un- der construction are expected to pro- vide—would greatly increase the air force’s ability to mount a counter- attack. Any aggressor contemplating a missile’ attack on America would have to take into account this addi- tional power to strike back.

The development of Tepee is clear- ly an outstanding scientific achieve- ment. Ordinary radar is limited, for the most part, to “seeing” in a straight line. Project Tepee takes advantage of characteristics of the earth and the atmospheric layer known as the ionosphere to “bounce”

earth between ground and sky. Tiny

Average Americans will unques- tionably agree with the scientist who says it is surprising “that Te- pee works at all.” And they will fur- ther agree that the fact that it does work “makes all the difference in the world.”

As Others See Us

The Monetary Times has devoted | its August issue to a special report on the Atlantic Provinces. The first reference te Prince Edward Island is

+—that private reports in Publie Works

Minister Green's office indicate that the New Brunswick-Prince Edward Island causeway will cost about $125 millions and will take about ten years to complete. It notes that Dr. O.H. Phillips, M.P. is working hard for the project.

Senator Elsie Inman‘s theory that Prince Edward Island waters possess special curative qualities for qua- | haugs, lobsters and oysters is. men- tioned with only an approving note on the extremely edible sea food of this part of the world.

‘Premier Alex Matheson is given a page of the Monetary Times in which he highlights the way in which fish- ing and farming have changed in re- cent years. With all the improve- ments, however, he notes that traf- fic increases continue to outstrip carrying capacity of the ferries. The only solution, according to the Prem- ier, appears to be the building of a causeway between Prince Edward Is- land and the mainland.

Douglas G. Dainton, the publica- tion’s business and industry editor, makes a comprehensive survey of Prince Edward Island’s finances and prospect, concluding that 1959 holds great promise for this Province. Life’ insurance sales, always, as he points out, an indicator of the financial sta- tus of a people, amounted to $2.43 million for January te March, this year. This is $350,000 more than for the corresponding period of last year.

The great progress being made in developing the tourist industry. comes for considerable attention in the re- port and Cyrus 8. Eaton is given as an authority for the poksibility of Prince Edward Island becoming one vof North America’s chief summer

_ playgrounds.

All in all the Monetary Times seems to like what it sees of the Garden of the Gulf.

EDITORIAL NOTES~

Although Mr. Eamonn; De Valera was re-elected President of Ireland . recently, the famous leader failed to get popular aceéptance at the same time for a change tm the electoral laws. Mr. De Valera wanted to abo- lish the system of proportional -re- presentation, and his party had cam- paigned vigorously to that end. But by a narrow margin on the referen-

dum PR was saved. . *

A recent study by Professor Chauncey D. Harris of the Univer- ‘sity of Chicago, discloses that«the University of Moscow alone has a faculty of 482 geographers. This is

» greater than that of any of the de- - partments of geography in the uni- versities of North America and Wes- tern Europe. There is little room for complacency in this statement, when we consider the basic importance of geography in this day and age

HOME THOUGHTS

contemplating“ writing your Forum. and saying Hello to my native Province. However, today my thoughts keep going back to the land of my birth so insisient- ly that it seems I must write. if for no other reason than to un- burden my mind Seriously, though, that is not the real mo- tive—-I Mike to write your fine publication periodically and have been much too lax in doing s0.

With the visit of Queen Fliza- beth and Prince Philip, there has been so much of great interest. that it will take me many a day te fully peruse and digest all of i. I was particularily happy to have those editions re the Royal visit jast week as I was privil- eged to entertain an old. friend and her brother—the latter on an extended tour of the USA and a native of Australia

BK was specially interesting to ‘meet the distinguished gentleman and world traveller at thie time as he was cheirman'of the board, —arrangements. or what-have - you-at the twme Queen Elizabeth and her Prince visited Ausiralia and she opened parliamen. His sister at the time showed me pic- tures of the parliament buildings even thechair the Queen would occupy. and she called her bro- ther—-a Parliamentarian. At any rate he was a delightful person te meet, so well-informed, as is his sister who is a reguiar gues of mine for afternoon tea. There are so few here who appreciate or keep that custom, that it i*

a delight to entertain a Briti: . or one of British ex- traction who gets pleasure out of the old tradition.

With the Royal tour over. there is special reason for rejoicing for the Royal household as well as her loyal subjects where'er they maybe in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries scattered abroad. The advent of a new littie life is always cause for joy at jeast for folk with a ’ geal sense of values and when it's anticipated in a Royal household during a Sovereign's reign, it seems to me it takes on an add- ed joy there are so many in Her Majesty's. greater family to re- Joice with her—millions and mil- lions.

RB would be interesting to know the exact number. Under the cir- cumstances, it was brave of

Queen Elizabeth to carry on and

| complete the physically exhaust-

ing tour her Canadian subjects so carefully planned for her. There. as in every other case, she lives up to the old Brtish traditions of @uty ‘and fortitude which even her great love for her loyal subjects €annot quite kessen the weariness and strain of continually smiling and being gracious. I believe the last time a child was born to 8 reigning Sovereign was on the birth of Queen Victoria's daugh- ter, Beatrice”, 20 i will be quite an even.

BR was so wonderful for the | youth of P.E. Ishand—eapecially |

the little children—to see their Queen in person. Especially so, it would be to young Ernest Prowse

I heard a fine sermon this A.

A team of New York research- ers who conducted several tests on the problem report that the venous pnessure increased dram- atically during the period of strain—as high as 40 to 3 milli- meters over the resting period— andi then dropped abruptly to the base level with the sudden release of the strain.

This tremendous climb in blood pressure and the sudden drop, the researchers report, can cause a suction action which is capable of detaching a bland thrombus, or coagulation of blood vessels. This can cause death if the blood clot becomes lodged in the heart | or the lungs.

The potential danger from such an occurrence is emphasized by , the researchers’ report that from | 50 to 6 per cent of all normal

adults of middle age or over have detachable clots, which pro- duce no symptoms, in the veins of the feet or calves

The warning, therefore, is ob- vious: whether you are consti- pated or not, don't strain.

Tt was very nice when I arrived in late June.but a glory to be- hold later in the summer. A re- cent letter from a niece just re- turned to Edmonton after honey- mooning in he Garden Of The Gulf said her hushand—native of Germany --- was so impressed

Ere this reaches its destination, Jim. and his lovely bride will be spending their vacation on the ‘Isle, also his sister Mary Tait, now Mrs. Johnston of British Col- umbia. I'll be looking forward to vonderful letters upon their re- turn to their homes—euch first hand news is always good to one who aithough away for years and years—still loves her native land. As Dr. W.M. Whitelaw (Guard- ian August 4) speaking to the Rotary Club said. “‘The nice thing about Islanders is they are so sure as to where they belong.”’ I could add in their love and loyalty they never forget where they “came from"’, no matter how long nor how far they may wander from their native homeland. I doubt if folk anywhere are more | clannish than Islanders, unless it | is in Soctland. I know my family are often amused at my clan- nishness, of course in a nice way. I think they really are rather glad their parents were British born— Ireland and the Isle, despite them selves being wholly American in thought and feeling.
