The Shadow of Bevanlsm

1:.'vents at the Morecanibe conference of the British Labour party cast a long and ominous shadow over 10 Downing Street. For, despite the wishful thinking of moder- ates both within and without the party, Aneurin Bevan the radical, has emerged stronger than ever before, and no longer is it possible to ignore the grim possibility of his one day becoming Leader of the Op- position in the Mother of Parliaments. From there it is but one short step to 10 Down- ing Street and the Prime Ministership.

True, the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party still holds a majority of moderates. But the success of the Bevanites in ousting therefrom such party stalwarts as ex-Foreign Secretary Herbert Chancellor of the Exchequer Hugh Dalton demonstrates with distressing clarity that leftist extremism is gaining in the British socialist movement. For it was the rank-and-file delegates who brought about the change, and the rank- and-file delegates are never far from ex- pressing -the views of the socialist element in the electorate.

Never since the days of Cromwell has the United Kingdom been faced with even the possibility of a radical dictator-type in- dividual of limitless ambitions aspiring to the Prime Ministership. For that Aneurin Bevan is ambitious goes without saying. That ambition, fanned by the frustration of the more moderate elements when. Bevan was in the cabinet, leaves little doubt that he regards power as the sole answer to the fulfilment of those ambitions.

Basic Educational iieed

Charlottetown's problem of overcrowd- ed schools is by no means a local one. The Canadian Education Association warns that in the next ten years we must expect 120,- 000 additional pupils each year in Canada. That means hundreds of new and expensive school buildings, and many mills added to already heavy tax bills.

The only solution to this problem ap- pears to be that suggested by the Financial Post in a recent editorial "We can provide these schools,” it says, "and still pay our tax bills if we are prepared to face realities. But that will mean plainer schools, not fancier ones. Some of the frills like audi- toriums, swimming pools, covered play- grounds and such will li'ave to be eliminated. We may not be able to afford all the extra rooms for teaching things the pupils used to be taught in their own homes a gen- eration ago. We may have to dispense with some of the fancy blackboards, fancy floors and landscaped grounds. In short, we may have to build more tjust schools which cost only two or three times the pre-war figure asiagainst five to ten times that for the imposing edifices that so many of us seem to think we must have."

This is not to argue that such luxuries are undesirable. The point, which must be obvious to all who have studied the ques- tion, is that with such a demand for basic teaching accommodation the extras must simply have to wait. -

It would seem that the potato farmers of Newfoundland as well as those of this Province have put their seal of approval on the price-fixing activity of the P. E. I. Potato Board.

What brings many of our visitors at this time of year is the shooting which, except for big game, at least equals that of any place in eastern Canada. In addition to having the birds, local and migratory. this Island is covered witha network of pleasant roads which enable the sports- man to drive within a matter of yards of wherever he wishes to shoot. Open fields predominate and man and dogs follow their sport under ideal conditions.

is also an advantage that any part of the Island may be reached within a few hours so that a hunting holiday need not break up a family for days on end. It is an easy matter to enjoy the finest hunting with- out leaving far behind the conveniences of civilization.

The Farmers' Dilemma

Under the above heading the Ottawa Journal warns that a sore mistake will be made if Canadians at large come to believe that all is well on the farm because new (and expensive) machinery has compen- satedin part. for the shortage of hired help. Equally open to misunderstanding is the suggestion that programs of soil re- vitalization and water conservation, how- ever beneficial, arc sufficient guarantee that farm productivity will be maintained.

The farmer at this moment, says the Journal, is confronted with a situation of extraordinary difficulty. If he concentrates on field crops and abandonsillvestock with the use of all forms of machinery, he knows he soon will be in the position of "mining" his land unless he can afford to purchase large supplies of fertilizer.

A good dairy farm has been called a nat- ural conservation, project in that the farmer can put back in the land the nat- ural fertilizezr to sustain the soil; but in dairy farming mechanization has severe limitations and labor and other costs make the dairy farmer's economics ever more complicated. Substitutes for various dairy products, often made of imported materials, now are offered for sale at attractive prices. Consumers cannot be expected to consider the farmer's problem every time

LONDON, England:

At. this time of year many of us begin to consider the gaps in our education. Having considered, and noted the location and nature of the gaps. we can then take steps to plug them with the aid of that fine institution. the Evening School. The winter sessions of classes are under way. and the courses available are as remark- able in their variety as the people who attend them.

Age, it seems, is no bar to learn- ing. either, although it is plain that different generations pursue their studies for different purpos- es. Hence the younger foil! take courses in commercial subjects, as aids to a career, whilst the.not- so-young are more concerned with subjects that provide the means for a. hobby. either for amusement pure and simple or for supple- menting their income.

Even more frustratdng is the experience of the child whose par- pentshiteguir? hills slervices to aug- mcn I: am y noome as soon las he reaches working age; they lmay regret the necessity as much as the child, but see no possible alternative.

In neither case need all be lost. The Evening Schools can repair

LAND DISTURBANCES

"A public meeting of the inhab- itants of Lots 60 and 57 took place on the 15th, at Orwell River. Mr. Donald Currle'liaving been called to the chair. the following resolu- tions were unanimously adopted: "That the steps taken by the Executive Government of this Col- ony. in sending the civil and mil- itary forces to East. Point in March last, to quell an imaginary riot, merit our most. unqualified disapprobatlon; and that the same were not only uncalled for, but unconstitutional, as appears from the decision of the Grand Jury, empanelled to investigate the matter in July last.

"That. to tax the Colony by ap- propriating a part of the. public revenue towards defraylng the ex- penditure incurred by the expedi- tion alluded to in the foregoing paragraph. is is downright in- fringement on the people's rights. -such not being authorized by any statute, British or Colonial, and this meeting is of the opinion that every honest man in the Col- ony should come forward to peti- tion the House of Assembly against. granting any money for defraying the same."

-The Palladium, Feb. 29. 1344. The distiii-bance referred to was one of many occasioned in the Colony in early days by the vexed question of land. settlement. It resulted in Tenant Leagues being formed in the 1860': throughout the Island to encourage the with- holding of rent. payments until the proprietors should agree to sell their lands. Seizures of tenants properties by sheriffs were resisted and riots more serious than the one above referred to broke out frequently. In his history of Prince Edward Island Dr. Mac- Kinnon quotes the Administrator of the Colony as writing in 1865: "Immediately a Sheriffs officer is observed to enter a settlement. tin trumpets are blown in all direc- tions, many of the inhabitants assemble, surround the officers, blow trumpets in their faces and insult. and defy them."

Thule . Air Base

Since the days of Admiral Peary there has never been any luck of interest in the barren and frozen wastes which stretch beyond the Arctic Circle. Dotted over the map of that inhospitable region nre the names of scientists and explorers who risked and often sacrificed their lives in heroic ef- forts to extend man's knowledge or simply to defy nature's icy challenge.

As the world moves into the air age the efforts and discoveries of those pioneers on taking on a new significance. Knowledge which at one time appeared to have at best a purely scientific interest is now assuming a grimly practical value. One of the most striking examples of this appears in the recent disclosure that United Stut- es engineers are well on the way to the completion of a. large cl; bue at Thule.

The Iron Duke

(Winnipeg Free Press) '

one of the merits of a centen- ary anniversary is that it serves to recall memories which usually moulder in history books and bio- graphies whose pages are rarely turned. The British press has car- ried many articles, these past few days. in tribute to the Duke of Wellington who died a hundred years ago. The articles have been uneven. The present, Duke of Wellington, for example. chose to write a waspish little essay which did more to parade his own pre- judices than to illuminate his great. ancestor. The London Times. with I. rare descent from its usual wisdom, suggested that the Duke became the model on which the qualities of the nineteenth cen- tury English gentleman were formed. All his life the Duke, who never suffered from humility. had a. proud man's hatred of praise that was at once fanciful and extreme. I-its growl of deris- ion would have shattered the well- schooled equanlmtty which The Times delights, in wear.

Among the ributes. however. was one at least. which was wor- thy of the occasion. Writing in The Spectator, Mr. Christopher Sykes has re-told the story of how Wellington never forgave the London mob for having menaced his home: the insult entered his soul and drove out thoughts of charity even when he had grown

A significant display of funda- mental Christiano-unity arose at the General Council of the Unit- ed Church of Canada when Rev. Dr. J. A.

He was the first Presbyterian moderator to so at- tpnd since the unhappy division among Presbyterian: at the time of Church Union in 1925. At. that time part of the fine Presbyterian Church entered union and part remained separate. There existed considerable bitterness. Time has exerted its healing influence, and as Dr. Mscfnnic extended his good wishes he was given an equally sincere welcome. He emphasized the basic unity of faith, belief and purpose and favored greater un- ity among churches.
