CHARLOTTETOWN TUESDAY. SEPT. 15, 1355 Transportation Aiiil Trails

Forecasts that the Cabinet will turn down the appeal of eight provincial govern- ments against the latest freight-rate in- crease are unfortunately based on logic and good business p1'actice. It is difficult to argue successfully against these formid- able considerations. The Federal Govern- ment would, in fact, be justified in put- ting transportation insthis country even more strictly on a businesslike basis.

At the same time that such a decision is taken, however, the system of protec- lioii enjoyed by industry in this country should logically and in justice be brought to an end. Maritimers should not be re- quired to pay the economic price of dis-' lance from central markets and at the same time pay the high cost of maintain- ing industries in those Provinces. Our trade, if it is to be carried on according to simple economic laivs, disregarding politi- cal considerations, should be with our good neighbours to the south. We should not have to pay exorbitant prices for the manufactured goods we need merely that they can be produced in this country rather than in the United States.

This policy-would, according to some, play havoc with Canadian industry. That is certainly possible, but if the POWGY 05 government is to be used to compel con- sumers to pay the price for maintaining those industries then government cannot in decency continue to ignore the D1l8.h.l3.0f the outlying provinces which are artificial-

ernment. In the early days of the century

was the sabre-rattling Kaiser, with World

War I running on his heels. There was the i short-lived republic, a period of economic

chaos, the advent of Hitler and the Nazis, the second war with its devastation and. for Germany its catastrophic conclusion,, and a new period of confusion and misery,l marked by the division of Germany into East and West by the iron curtain of thei Soviet Union... I :

That is' truly a dismal past, and it is a!

measure of Dr. Adenauerls contribution to i

the rehabilitation of Germany and Europe that the people have strengthened and con- fir ed his government ”Coming on top of

New York Times observes, "the election signifies that the battle for the German soul has been decided and that the Kremlin has lost." i The Times' comment continues: .

"One of the most encouraging features of the whole election is that the younger generation is no longer being attracted by the extremes of Left or Right, but rather voted for Chancellor Adenauer, for democ- racy, for Europe and for the European De- fence Community, which it will be called upon to serve. This means that the young- er generation is burying both the national- istic ambitions of world power and the re- sentments 1'esulting in Communism-both of' which stirred their elders and plunged the world into catastrophe. In that sense Gei-l many is displaying a political maturity and is setting an example which may seem!

ironic coming from that source but which" '

other Continental countries might well fol-l ow."

"Most Effective Meillum' l

Another influential-O organization, Illdellendent Grocers' Alliance, has gone on record as stating it "has found newspaper advertising to be its most effective me-' dium” and will spend more than !52,000,000l for space in Canadian and United States n-eivspapers in 1954.

Air Defense Ilevelopiiieiit

Recent British announcements suggest that the ground-to-air guided missile has been developed close to the point where it could make the delivery of atomic or hy- drogen bombs by conventional aircraft to a target of the sort provided by the British Isles impossible, or at least excessively costly. if this assumption is correct, this new defense development promises to be outstanding in military history.

On this continent, the ground-to-air missile has been developed in the United States, although apparently not to the de- gree attained in Britain; but the air-to-air missile is well ahead, and Canada has had at large part in the development. The ground - to - air - missile requires a fixed launching base and is therefore, in effect, simply a vastly more potent form of anti- aircraft artillery, retaining the artilleryls limitation that it is suited to the defence of a point or a small area such as the Brit- lsh isles but not a large area such as this continent and its northern approaches. The air-to-air missile, fired from a movable launching platform-as for instance Can- ada's CF-100 long-range fighter-is the only present effective defence of a large area.

It would, however, be foolish to sit back and relax in imaginary security because of these developments on the side of the de- fence. As the Hamilton Spectator points out, the last war demonstrated that it is possible, sooner or later, to develop ways of ”foxing," jamming and generally scon- fusing any piece of electronic equipment, and it is electronic equipment which guides I missile to its target. (But the last war also demonstrated that in the end elec- tronic equipment, in its turn, can be de- signed to outfox the ”fox"). More im- portant is the fact that the guided missilc today is still in its short-range stage of de- velopment (the V-2, the only relatively long-range missile of which the world knows, was not guided. and was a terror weapon, not useful against a point target); therefore it is a defensive weapon. But in- ovitably the day will come when it is de- veloped lnto a long-range weaP0l'l- The" the advantage will swing back to the of-

fence.

A Ilofoat For The Kroiiillii

For peace and security in Europe noth- ing so encouraging as the recent-victory for Chancellor Adenauer in the German election has happened in many years. It has, in the words of the New York Times, "swept away much of the debris of a dis- mal past." There is reason now to hope

that the long period of turbulenceiand oon- land Pictou. twice weekly, in

fusion in Germany is ending-at leutlfor

markets and have over the years seen the.

vention at Chicago that the organizationl "has found it profitable to increase its newspaper advertising budget each year."

It was not so long ago that the Ontario Retail Hardware Association also went on! record as saying: ”It has been proved time and time again that consistent news- paper advertising by all retailers helps not only to maintain and improve your position in the community, but also provides the perfect medium in which to bring the con- sumer's attention to the many services available at their local hardware dealer."

The Yeadlflll of a paper by a Russian physiologist at a scientific congress in Montreal is a welcome sign of international co-operation. It is to be hoped that the criticism which will inevitably folloiv will not drive Soviet science back into isolation- ism from which this is an indication that it may at last be emerging.

The cost. to the provincial trou- ury is going to be considerable and it is virtually certain that some of it will constitute an actuarial ion. on he other side of the ledger will be two important credits.

Concerning this latter credit 1 lot. of people seem to assume that once a farm is supplied wlt.h'elec- trlcity most of its troubles will be over. All the farmer has to do then is to press buttons and let the money roll it.

Farmers who have always had the use of electricity will probably say that it isn't quite as simple as that although perhaps. t2'.eoretlcal- Ly, it farm with electricity should be more profitable than one with- out it. In pmctice, though, this is not always the case. some farmers who have had to go about with the old lantern have made 3 lot of money and had much fun in mak- ing it. Others. who have had all kinds of electrical gadgets to help them, have been hard put to make ends meet, and some halve had -to go into bankruptcy.

All this proves nothing except. that succeslul farming depends on many things besides mechanical conveniences. Let no one imagine that electrical power is the one sure talisman for rural health and wealth or that young men and wo- men will be content to stay on the farm once the "lights" are put in. It may help in some cases, but there are still miracles which clen- trlcsl devices have no power to perform. At the same time there must be many good farmers who would do even better if they had electricity to help them.

As I see it (from my study Irin- cliali-) the one thing in this mat- ter for which we should give the Premier and his Cabinet credit is that they have actually begun to do something for the farming pop- ulatlon. Whether or not it will work out exactly as hoped for remains to be seen (hardly anything ever does!) but, at any rate, it is much better than a lot. of intangible pro- mises. It is always encouraging to see a government devising ways and means of aiding, without control- ling, the economic life of the peo- ple whom it has been appointed to SEIVC.

Many of the American States have sections whore oil lamp: on the norm. I read some statistics on this sub- foot-1 while no and, while I do not recall the actual figure, I seem to remember that it was well over n hundred thousand.

The fact. that there are still peo- plolin our rural area who have no putlculu desire to" oleotri-fy their home: should not. cause my great surprise. Most of the limit. fercnt ones, I fancy, are elderly people who doubt whether the new convenience would be worth the ndded expense that would be nec-

These people are not so unhappy about the situa- tion as is generally supposed. at all events it is to be hoped that those who do wire their houses un- der the new plan will not be fool- ish enough to throw their lamp: away. if they do, they will regret it. Electrical seivice is never entirely trustworthy and, on this Island, I am sorry to say. it is just. as like- ly to be whimsical as it in to be constant.
