Or, alternatively, they can reject Adenauer and the moderation for which he stands in favor of the alluring prospect of a re- united Gcrmany with armed forces of its own, ready to take its place in the councils of world politics.

The issues at stake in the Soviet pro- posal are, admittedly, by no means as clear cut as that. Yet such is the way they are likely to commend themselves to the major- ity of the German people. to whom a strong, united Reich is infinitely more attractive than playing second fiddle to an Anglo- American defensive alliance.

The Kremlin, clearly, has tossed the diplomatic gauntlet in the face of the west- ern democracies. No one can with certain- ty foretell the consequences.

"The use of the word tProgressivel as descriptive of the Conservative Party is re- garded as unnecessary by Leader George Drew," says the St. Catharines Standard. "In that opinion, he will find much sup- port, particularly among the older gener- ation of Tories. Never at any time have the Conservatives of the old school tie of Sir John Macdonald who brought in the National Policy. the foundation of the in- dustrial strength today of Canada, ever conceded that the party of their allegiance was anything but progressive. In fact, how could any party serve a young country. like Canada and not be progressive? The word is redundant." .

Now that United Kingdom officials have removed any remaining doubt about their ability to buy cheese from Canada this year, says the Ottawa Journal, it would be well if some real attention were paid to this industry. As it is now, many dairy farm- crs are facing the start of their flush pro- ducing season with no idea where surplus production can be sold and with the pros- pect of a complete price collapse.

The situation is further aggravated by cheese imports, and by an abnormal carry- over of last year's make. Because of ex- .hangc and lower cost-of-production it has paid New Zcaland producers to sell in Can- ada, and many millions of pounds have ar- rived here in recent months. It is under-, stood that at the present time some four, million pounds are either on their way from New Zcaland, or about to be loaded.

There is talk of a floor price cheese but, at best, this is only a partial an- swer to the problem. To have the Govern- ment holding large quantities of cheese in! storage could prove. in the long run, very' unsatisfactory to the industry. The only real and lasting solution is to find markets. A real all-out sales effort by the Govern- ment and the dairy trade might well show that Canadians could eat more of their own good cheese-they are among the lowest per capita consumers in the world today.

"This situation," the Journal points out, "was not of the cheese Industry's own mak- ing. For 75 years it has been selling to Britain and during both wars was encour- aged to produce to capacity. Even last year, at the highest price the UK has ever paid in this country for cheese, some 28 million pounds were shipped overseas. The industry had no means of knowing this long-time market would collapse. Now with their backs to the well, fsclng s situation wlilch ss individuals they ere powerless to hlhllle. they deserve the very best support

If everybody kept their own doorstep "clean Charlottetown would be an admirable city in which to live, and it falls largely to the police to sec that they do so.

Defense Minister Claxton is scheduled t.o visit here on April 25, and this will af- ford a good opportunity of impressing upon him the needof an early start on our new Armouries for military training purposes, as well as the new Naval Barracks.

In both cases it -is understood that we arc high on the priority list and there is no reason why there should be further delay in matters which plainly come with- in the scope of national defense expend- iturcs.

Mr. Cornu, Secretary of State for Fine Arts of France has taken up the great cause of the restoration of Versailles. It is no easy task. The sum of 14 million dollars is required for essential repairs. Mr. Cornu has therefore made an appeal to French people. and to all throughout the world who regard Versailles as an irre- placeable testimony to civilizatioiwto help in saving Versailles. An international com- mittce is now being formed, comprising people best qualifiedto sound the alarm and arouse concern everywhere for such a treasure of art, now in danger.

NEGLECTED ROAD

Sir,-Now that the storms of winter have subsided and we are looking forward to freedom once again. after being snow-bound for almost six months, it is rather disheartening to realize that our hopes have failed until such time when mother nature will have removed the still high snow-drifts that our seldom seen snow ploughs have failed to do.

It is discouraging in this rural district to look around and see practically every road ploughed and paths that could very easily be mistaken for lane-ways and in most instances are just that. The road I refer to, between Kelly's Cross and Hartsville, which joins two paved highways, is in itself a main secondary road. Yet the plow gives it I wide berth. and I wonder why; when a. supporter of this present government from our rural district seeks the reason for this neglect, he is either giv- en an evasive response or great wonderment is expressed as to the location of this area.

if my memory serves rectly those responsible for this neglect do not have to pin-point this backward nrca on the map during the period prior to an election, but they seem to forget nbout some of their promises af- ter their victory. ' '

All I can suggest as a remedy if this is not H departmental neglect. is to try and install some kind of alarm systems on these ploughing mncliincs so that their operators will not forget they are supposed to be working.

LONDON, A year

Englsncl:-

ago the great talking point was the Festival of Britain. The work that had started many months previously was rushing headlong to its fulfilment, and we waited with anxiety to see if the South Bank Site in London, the focal point of the whole affair. would be completed in time for the scheduled opening day.

Those in favour of the Festival were apprehensive when they saw or heard how much still remained to be done. yet hoped for the miracle that it seemed would be necessary if everything was to be made ship-shape punctually. The critics-and there were many, for self-denigrstlon is a prominent part of our make-up-related not without relish all the rumours of this or that shortcoming, one thing or another that had gone wrong or that had not been prop-

ors, and waited their opportunity to say "I told you 50!" Meanwhile the tide of publicity was running high, the story was being told all over the world, and those whose responsibility it was to have the Festival ready on the appointed day had little inclina- tion, and even less time, to argue rights and wrongs. They got on with the job: and the South Bank site opened on schedule. A few short months afterwards it was all over. The gates were closed and the lights were turned off for good. At least, the gates were closed to the public; people still got on to the site. workmen, charged with the task of clearing up. dismantling. carting away...

Then there came 8 time when they had done as much clearing, dismantling and carting as they had authority for. What. was to happen next. was a. matter for higher councils. who found that the problems of constructional ad- ministration were well matched by the less pressing but equally in- sistent pi-ob' of disposal. Worse, they found it hard to disguise their lack of decision; the Dome of Discovery is B. massive struct- ure. and the Skylon. that 300-feet lilgli finger pointing to the sky, can be seen for miles around. You simply cannot hide things like those in s. corner until you decide what to do with theml

Bright members of the public have not been slow in writing to the papers to suggest ways of making use or ornaments of these two particular features. some of the ideas were sensible. some were fncetlous, many showed an imagi- nation almost equal to that of the orlginalvdesigners of the structures themselves. But, it seems, there are many snags and obstacles that stand in the way of execu- tion of most of the clever notions so fsr put forward, and so the Dome and the Skylon continue to remain sloof from the rest of the work that goes on around them.
