Canadian LobsIerEx orls
Liberal orators, including the leader himself, are telling the pe0pl.e that the present Government’s policy as it pertains to increased trade with the United Kingdom might turn out to be ruinous to the Canadian lobster industry. The argument —— Mr Pear- son mentioned it in his Charlottetown speech — is that the talk about diverting a certain amount of trade from the Unitedcstates to the Uni- ted Kingdom might strengthen the hands of the New England fishery interests who from time to time try to persuade the United States’ Gov- ernment to increase the tariff on Can- adian lobsters to the point where ex- ports would be seriously curtailed".
There is not the slightest bit of evidence to support this. view. It is true, of course, that New England fishermen would like to see Canadian lobsters discriminated against or even kept out of the American market altogether. But that has nothing whatever to do with the Prime Min- ister’s wish to divert a certain volume of trade‘ from the United States to the United Kingdom. It is simply a matter of the economic interests of New England fisheries. The plea has fiot been heeded in the past and’ it is not likely to be heeded in thevfuture, for thevsimple reason that the New England fisheries cannot, by a large margin, look after the requirements
‘of the American market. In other
words, Canadian lobsters are needed in the United States; and it has never been the policy of any Government. in the United States or anywhere else to place prohibitive tariffs on products for which there is a great demand. _ ,
If the New England fisheries could
double or treble their output, it would -.
bet a different story. In that case, Canadian lobsters would probably be kept out altogether.’ But that is not likely to happen. Indeed, the New England lobster production, in pro- portion to the demand, is lessening year by year. " ‘ I ‘
Al The Summit
There is little doubt that a “sum-
mit” meeting, so-called, will be held sometime this year. World opinion is‘ so strongly in favour of one that it seems hardly possible the idea will be scrapped. What purpose it will serve is‘ another question. Atithe moment it would seem as though the chief task of free world governments
» is to devise a plan whereby the meet- ing will not be permitted to turn into ,
a sounding board for Soviet propa- ganda and nothing more. « President Eisenhower and Secret-
ary Dulles are in a quandary over the .
Soviet Union’s proposal to hold the ‘summit meeting in the United States.
They have said many times that they V‘
are not anxious for Soviet leaders to visit them. On the other hand, they
don’t feel like turning down the pro- ‘
posal. To do so would smack of diplomatic discourtesy. The Soviet
officials are probably laughing -up
their sleeves about What Iwas,.un- doubtedly, a shrewd political move. “See how co-operative we are”, they are saying in effect; “we are even willing to go to Washington to make it easier for President Eisenhower to attend I”) p I
It has been suggested that ’ the meeting, if there be one, dispense with a great army ofpublicists such as attended the 1955 conference. This is hardly likely to happen, since the right of the public to know what
‘transpires at meetings of this kind
as soon as it happens is generally recognized. Certainly, there is no
_ country, in -the world that doesn’t . have a keen interest in What goesvon.
At the same time, it must‘ be admit- ted that representatives of the par- ticipating nations are labouring un- der a severe handicap when every. word they say and every gesture they make are reported to the world, often out of context and, of course, with varied interpretations. The tempta- tion to use the discussions for pur- poses of propaganda only is very strong.
Prime Minister Macmillan of Great Britain has described the 1955 meet- ing this way: “In effect, the mem-
bers of the conference did not confer. They made a series of speeches to each other, in strict rotation, each taking the chair for one meeting. These speeches were nominally sec- ret; but immediately at the end of each session, by some mysterious means, the full text of the speeches reached the 4000 journalists assemb- led in Geneva.‘ There were, of course, a good many pleasant photographs taken and some agreeable dinners
J organized. Indeed, it was only at the dinner parties that anything like dis- cussion began to take place”.
At Confused Picture
British Labour Party leader Hugh ~ Gatiskill must be in a troubled mood these days. The Prime'.Ministership is “almost” within his grasp. The way the Conservatives have been losing prestige in one ‘by-election after another shows plainly that the people‘ are almost ready to change Governments. ‘But, alas, division within its ranks threatens to make the Labour Party ineffectual to at- tain its ends. Mr. Gaitskill, supported by the “moderates”, wants Britain to con- tinue making hydrogen bombs until
‘ agreement to ban them.‘ Reluctantly, he favours the establishment’ of Am- erican missile bases on British soil if a summit meeting does not result in a general disarmament agreement. On the other side are the “leftists”. who favour an immediate ban on nuclear weapons and who are against the setting up of missile bases in any cir- cumstances. .
Hitherto, the moderates, appeared to have the .main body of Labour opinion in their favour. Lately, how-
, \ever, there has been an undoubted
‘ change. Meetings called to protest official nuclear policy have been well attended; and many prominent cit- izens who. have never been connected with the Labour Party have come to the aid of the leftists in this one problem. This does‘ not necessarily mean that the faction of the left is winning public support for its’ general policies. It does appear to mean that in this one thing both Conservatism . and ’ Moderate Socialism are losing ground. A ' .
Over iirall, to Mr. Gaitskill-’s dis-
ence of the Liberal Party which has shown surprising strength in recent by-elections, although official Liberal

THE’ WESTERN ROAD
Sir,— At a recent meeting held in St. LIOIJIS it was decided that the original plan of the Govern- ment for the paved. highway from Alberton to Tignish, going
,-through the old Western Road, be put, into effect. The large gathering of people, who want the Western Road paved, took ex- ception to the newly proposed plan recently stated by a dele- gation, who want the paved high- way by way of Greenmount. The arrangements put forth by the ‘delegation for the Greenmount route were somewhat misleading.
The Western road, being cen- trally located, serves as an out-, let whereby people living for some’dis-tance on each side of it ‘can get out. Paving the Green- mount Road will not benefit the
.- -people». ‘of. Harper's Road, .Palmer ..
'R"oad, DeBlois Road,’ St. Louis
Road,” Alma Road, viia. Profits’
‘corner and" St. Roch Road.
The St. Louis Bioad alone, one‘ might say with surety, is a road that‘ ‘people from the whole ‘of (approxi-
mately 400 houses) travel to get to the ,Western Road. The people . of Roseville, Miminegash and the surrounding territory also travel this same road very extensively. Therefore, the number of people
who use the Western Road do out-
number greatly those who use the proposed Greenmount route’.
The original plan of the P. E. 1. Government was togo to Tignish by the Western Road and then go down the Greenmounit Road’ from Tignish to the steel bridge. The suggested number of houses num- bering 73 in the “Greenmount brief’? must take in the main street of the village of Tignish. The first plan, via Western Road, would take care of almost all of the .73 houses.
It is estimated that from the steel bridge (which is about one mile from Tignish) to Mrc«Cue’s
corner contains more like 23 '
houses than 73 houses as stated in the brief.
Since these roads from Tignlsh to Alberton are almost equidi- stant, and the only other large
3 business centre is St. Louis, it is ridiculous. to ask the Government to‘ change their original course. The Western Road has to be re- built as it is in a bad state of repair. The great cost of build- ing roads limits the total mileage per year. Therefore, it is neces- sary to do first things (first, that is reconstruct the Western Road. The traffic on the Greenmount Road compared to the Western Road is very small.

CORRECTION
Sir,---‘ I wish you to notice the omission of a few words in my letter that appeared on March 12, where it reads: “Whoever cursed them (the Jews) would be bless-
ed.” It should have read: “I will‘
bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee.” I am quoting from the King James version, Genesis 12:3: The Duay version reads the same. As print- ed, a false meaning is given to the paragraph. I am, Sir, etc.,

U.S. POLICIES-DISLIKED
Above all, Britons haveibeen very soured up by the policies of the post-war ,—U.S. govern- ments, and by the acts of certain U.S. statesmen. Against this quite understanable background, Bri- tons were -surprised and flattered to find that Canada was revers- mg her negative line of the past 15_years towards the Common- wealth, and was willing to turn to Britain for._co-operation in the struggle to avoid further econo- mic domination by the U.S.A.
It is well understood in Britain that sound reasons impel Can- adais traditional policy of pro- I:ect—1ng.certain vulnerable young industries. So it is accepted here that the free trade offer by ‘Bri- tain, qualification by Canada’s Liberal Leader Lester Pearson, would not lead to immediate or all-embrac- mg slashes of C‘anada’s‘ta'riff pro- tection. Freer trade would be a- clneved progressively over ten or flfteen yflars. and selectively by excluding certain critical indus- tries. , \

Nose Blowing And Ecir Trouble
By Herman N. Bundesen, M- D-
YOUNGSTERS probably would be better off if we didn’t teach them to blow their noses.
I have repeatedly stressed the danger of blowing your nose too hard. Now let’s apply the Same advice to the children.
CAUSES EAR TROUBLE
The age - old practice of dang- ling a handkerchief in front of a youngster’s face, and urging him to “blow hard,” probably has caused more ear" trouble than any other single factor. _
Let me make it as emphatic as I can: ’
Don’t teach your child to blow his nose! Best way '59 help youngster with the. S111ffle_5 15 merely to wipe the secretions from his nostrils as soon and as often as they 31313931‘-
FEW NOW HOW _’
Adults, too, would do well to follow this advice. Few of you. I’ll wager, know how to blow your nose correctly.
Just ‘about everyone at 0116 time or another has experienced a blocked - up feeling in_one of his ears after blowing his nose vigorously. The cause, }1'1 m0‘St cases, is simple, and easily Fem‘ edied. V
A small plug of mucus enters the opening of the Eustachian tubes which lead from the back of the upper throat to the mid- dle ear on each side. Generally, it quickly disappears by itself.
INJURE MIDDLE EAR
However, there always is the danger that the‘ pressure of blasting mucus from your nose ‘by a hard snort may force the mucus, pus or other debris through the tubes into the mid- dle ear. _
This " could lead. to a serious infection, pain and expense.
Most dangerous nose practices of all are the habits of closing one nostril and blowingthrough the other, or closing both in order to build up pressure for a terrific blast.
It is far better just to wipe or sniff. .

(From The Guardian Files) TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (March 14, 1933) '
Nine ba dly frightened lads were brought ashore at _Mimine- gash yesterday evening from a
:.large pan of ice which had car-
ried its human cargo about three miles from land. The boys, all of whom were less than 16 years of age, and who had gone on a “seal hunt” yesterday afternoon,
had suddenly found that the pan‘
had broken away and they were drifting out to sea. '
The salaries of town employees provided considerable discussion at the first meeting of the new Summerside Town Council last night. Mayor Manson stated that the Town’s finances will be care- fully gone into and the budget for the year drawn up. and if it was found that the town could oper- ate without raising the taxes, the salaries would not be lowered, otherwise the employees might have ‘to take a. pay cut.
