No less than ten plays are twin! D1‘?- sented in the l"rincc f<‘.rlwarrl lsl-ind Drama Festival this wecl-1, four of thcmv being three-act plays. It seems a pity, con- « sequently, that the Island should not be

The fact that entries for thc ‘ Provincial Drama Festival can be obtained V from Tignish, Charlottetown. Kelvin Grove, and Summersirie indicates that. interest in drama is widespread in the Province.

A strong 01‘gani7.ati0n, lio\\‘(‘.v0l‘. I5 1‘ ed to make an effective presentation on a nation-wide basis. The last entry from this Province in the Dominion Drania Festival was handicappetl h_v the lack of such or- ganization.

A Gltrlstlan-Moslem conferencu

A meeting. believed to be the first of ltd kind, was held recently in a little moun- 1' village of Arabia: it was a Conference between a small number of Christian and Mt-‘lllem representatives. Sponsored by an offanizotion known as American Friends of the Middle East, and presided over by DI‘. Garland E. Hopkins, its ext-cutive di- rdctor. the Conference had for its theme "How the spiritual forces of Islam and Christianity can unite against material- lﬂh.” According to a news release, there

_, d friendly exchange of ideas and at tlljﬂml session a continuing committee Wu named to devise plans for future liaison between the two historic religions.

Al was to be expeclnd. in view of the

'lottetovvn's

some adverse criticism of the Conference; one Middle East newspaper saw‘ in it an American attempt “to bring the Islamic world into political alliance with the West. in the cold war." On the whole. the Con- ference stirred the imaginations of Christ- ians and Moslems alike, and the general opinion was that in time the idea might prove to be of considerable moral and spiritual strength in that part of the world. ‘ And why not? Christianity and-Moham- medanism differ in many ways and. at some important points, come into direct conflict; but they do have some things in common. Both religions teach the Father- hood of God and. with some reservations on the Moslem side. the Brotherhood of man. There is in each a deep ccncern for the worth of the individual and a profound abhorrcnce of the doctrine of all-powerful materialism. which is the chief instrument of the Communist ideology. They share is moral view of the universe and agree on the proposition that moral integrity is in- dispensable to the peace and security of in- dividuals and of nations. Their represent- atives did not meet to discuss theologica.'_ differences nor to exchange political opin- ions, but to find ways and means of pre- .senting- a united front to the Communist attempt to undermine all religious institu- tions and movements, by whatever names they may be called and from whatever tra- ditions they may have received their strength and authority.

There are some interesting tables in the latest newsletter of the P. E. I. Teachers’ Federation. One of them shows the num- ber of teachers with their years of experi- ence. It is most disturbing that out of a total of 749 teachers 487 have less than ten years experience. The loss of experien- ced teachers is one of the most serious ed- ucational problems in this Province.

Historical research is fun, according to historical novelist Cecil W. Smith in a re- cent BBC talk. “I should just like to men- tion the extraordinary satisfaction of being an historian. Nothing in the world can exceed the excitement of ﬁnding out what really happened, of digging the truth out of lofts and basements, from the pages of forgotten letters, old records and diaries. affidavits, blue books. To find out what really happened is the function of the true historical writer, and that unites the pleas- ures of detection with the romance of ll novel.

NEW STYLE DRIVING

Sir.—A number of school chil- dren and older people have al- ready been hurt or killed on the streets and highways both on and off this Island this season and there must be a cause for such accidents.

As one who is on the highway I notice a great many new style. drivers or new style cars with no born or no one to blow it. Those drivers pass other cars and trucks at high speed with- out : warning born; they pass pedestrians old and young with- out a horn blast and they skim along little children without a peep of the horn. We see it every day in this city and on the high- ways, new style cars without a horn or new style drivers who are saving the born to blast at weddings. '

I have on my desk right now a manual from the lIlUtin' branch and on page 10 we read every motor vehicle must be equipped with A horn in good working order capable nf emitting snund audible for a distance of 200 feet.

I for one feel sure if the horn were used more. and more es- pecially where there are elderly people or small school children on the streets and highways. there would be few if any struck down. The age of the sneak is gone for- ever; sneaking past others‘ cars without warning, sneaking past littlq school children whose minds are so taken up with their ball games. their skipping. etc.

The age of new style driving as above must be stopped NOW! I am. Sir. etc.

New Zealand Centennial

(from F0

On Mar 24 the Executive Coun- .ll and the Cabinet of New Zea- .ind will move from the capital. Nellington, and hold a special session in Auckland to celebrate the centenary of the New Zealand Parliament.

On February 17. 1854. Colcncl Winyard. then officer admlnLster- ‘ing the Government. of New Zea- land, called by Proclamation the first. General Assembly to meet at Auckland on May 21.

Whcn the Prime Minister. Mr S. G. Holland, and his fellow par- liamentarians meet in Auckland they may well sense the presence of the shades of those first mem- bers.

It -is interesting to speculate with what. emotion those early colonists took their places in a Parliament for which they had struggled sn ardcntly for fourteen years since the founding of the Colony. When New Zealand entered on its career as a British Colony by the Treaty of Waltangi in 1840. Durham_ Wakefield. and other col- onial reformers were inaugurating a new era in British colonial policy which was to emerge with splendor in the eighties with the first of the Imperial Conferences. The col- onial idea of the Wakefickl school was that. the new colony should be the epitome of the society in Bri- taln. Thus free political institu- tion: were nxlomatic start. The Durham Report. that '.M.\i'zna Carts of the Colonies’ expressed as its first principle the institution of self-government and the Cnbiriet. system. so when the new set.tlci'.s arrived in New Zen- ‘.and from Britain in the early for-

5lll.'ll self-government. Tlicy ex- pressed their views with such vig- aur and determination that. with-

Such was the Constltiilion which freed ll large area of the life and laffalrs of New Zealand from rult by the Colonial'Offlce and which is still the fundamental Act under which t.he Government CXISLI to- day. The door to self-development was opened. ,

Early in 1854 Grey completed his term of office and returned to England, leaving his deputy. Col- -miel Wynyard. to arrange elections ‘and to, call the first General As- .«cmbl_v. The most notable mem- ber was Edward Gibbon Wakefield himself, who had arrived in New Zealand in 1853.

It was perhaps appropriate to ithe times that the whole of the ‘First Session vras taken up with ‘El \'l(ll(‘fll discussion between the lGovcrnor and the Members _ovei the question of responsible Minia- ters. The First Session was pro- rogucd without. any laws being en- acted save onc—a measure nu- tthorislng the sale of liquor within ‘the precincts of the House for the use of honourable members. The House refused to listen to any other business until at responsible Ministry was appointed. The acri- mony on this question continued ‘through the Second and Third ses- ‘sions. but. following A General lE1cction in 1555. and the assemb- . of the Second Parlinment._ln I856. the first responsible Minis- ltry was cstablishcd under Sewell. and the New Zealand Parliament 'cntt-rcd upon its proper functions 'Pcrliaps it was fitting that in this lncw nlldyigorolls Colony the age- tlong struggle for responsible gov- ‘crnmcnt. had to be re-fought into

In a country like New '/.'.c.ilaiid the conflict of philosophic:

There is In almost Iutomatic

regularity in the pattern of the COIIIOICIICCS

between the Soviet dice and the free world. This is not altogether surprising, since the aims of the two sides remain un- _-hanged and there are certain con- ;tant. geographical and strategic factor: in the Mtuations which they meet. to discuss. Hence. observes uatey International Commentary. the close parallel between the Com- munist propmals, first for Germany. then for Karen and now for Indo- China.

I"ii-st. there is nlway: the demand for the withdrawal of all foreign .:‘oop:. This arises from the fact. that the disputed situations are caused by Communist. attempts to expand on the periphery of the great. land mu: which they con- .rol. Hence the withdrawal of for- eign t.i-oops. whether in Germany, Koren or 1.ndo-China. would mean that. the forces of the Western Pow- era or the United Nations would have to retreat. ucrou hundreds of mile: of ocean while foreign Com.- munlst forces whether Soviet or Chinese. would remain poised on he frontier.

secondly. Communist. proposals for elections in the countries con- cerned always exclude international supervision. describing it u for- cign intervention. Thlrdly. the Communists always insist. that the minority which they represent should have equal repre- sentation or a power of vein in the bodies to be set. up to super- vise the elections. Furtbar they al- ways demand full freedom for what .hcy cull “democrat.ic organizations" .n preparing and holding the clcc-‘ t.ions—by which they mean com- munist.-contxolled trade unions and youth movement: uid the like.

All these ingredients in the Com- munist. plan for domination are camouflaged with phrases about in- dependence. self-determination :nd national unity. Every one of these cliaracterlstlca is to be found in the Viet-Mlnh Communist proposal: ‘or Indo-Chlnl.

The Western aims are then clear enough. The problem is how to real- ize them—n problem of power. From this point. of view the Com- munists are in in strong position, following the victory of Dicn Blen Phu. But they are acting an if they were in the same position as they were in 1915 when the Red Army had overrun the whole of Eastern

lFrance, Indo-China And Vie!-Minhl

Europe and the western Power: but to accept. their term: in that. al’Cl. However, that is not; the altuntion in Indo-China and the Western Powers have learnt from their ex- perience in 1945 tint. whatever the balance of power. they gain nothing by departing from their principles.

The :tory of Britain‘: mnrltlm: Lulu in the last. war is being offic- ially chronicled by the Srltish Government in three volumes en- titled “War at Sea. 1939-1945." published by I-I.M.5.0.

The final volume will lhow how benefit: of mum e strategy were reaped and the Brltiah and Allied Forces transported oversea: touxn final victory.

The author of the first. volume. Captain S. W. Boaklll. R..N.. has been more fortunate than most. naval historian: since he ha: been able to refer to the complete If- chlves of the German Navy.

Depicted are the spectacular nuc- cesses such an the Battle of River Platte. the destruction of the Bis- marck. the Battle of Cape Mata- pan and the Fleet Al: Ann’: raid at. Toronto. But. German U-boats were strangling :llied nhlpplnx; Italian and German air power was closing the Mediterranean. The book ends on I. grim noie—disaa- ter in the Pacific in December, 1941.
