Premier Jones does not mince matters in his address, nor does he overdraw the pic- ture of our disadvantages under Confeder- ation. He hews to the line so far as politics are concerned, letting the chips fall where they may. He emphasizes particularly our transportation needs, and his words will, it L5 to be hoped, have some effect in strength-l ening the hands, both of his own adminis- tration and of our Federal representatives in dealing with Island problems at Ottawa.

.A:

Inquiry suggested

A commission which could survey Cali- ada's reserve army problem from both the military and civilian viewpoints is suggest- ed by the Ottawa Citizen. Such a body, the Citizen says, might include represent- atives of army headquarters, the reserve army, and the civilian community. It re- calls that a similar commission, set up for the navy several years ago, was able to make a contribution toward solving some of the navyls personnel problems. Assured- ly, the best military training program con- ceivable loses much of its advantage for the reserve army if too few men are avail- able to benefit from it. '

Weaknesses in the reserve army have again been drawn to the attention of the- Federal cabinet by the Canadian Legion, which for several years has shown deep concern over this problem. The problem is to retain the interest of the large num- ber of men (estimated at 50,000) who are on the nominal rolls of the reserve units but who, in the main, fail to show up for parades. Army headquarters is reported to be contemplating measures designed to strengthen, these units, as, for example, in concentration on officer and non-commis- sioned officer training affsummer camps, and consolidation of small units into larger formations. The Citizen suggests that this may be a mistaken policy if it fails to recognize the dual character of the reserve units and their personnel. The units are both military formations and social and athletic clubs; the men are both soldiers and civilians. On the whole, army head- quarters has tended to regard the two characteristics as almost mutually exclus- lve. The paramount reason why young men join reserve units is to obtain military training; but their civilian needs and dc-l sires cannot be excluded, and their view ufreserve units as social clubs must be given weight.

Sell conservation Problem

Since the formation of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Na- tions, the whole literate world has become much better informed about the relation- ship which exists between soil wastage and food supply, between soil and water man- agement and economic well-being, and be- tween food and world peace. Unfortunate- ly we haveyet to translate this awareness Into effective action. Not only are nations still unable to work together closely enough to solve their common problems, but with- in a single country it is often difficult for regional and central governments to bury

. Fear is expressed by the farm paper above quoted that the costly errors of the past may be carried over into any new national, or joint federal-provincial policy that may be devised for the future. "This must not be,” it argues. ”Ministels and senior civil servants in departments oth- er than agriculture, can find many worth- while ways of serving the Canadian people without encroaching on fields primarily agricultural, where they cannot work ef- fectively. The farmers of Canada-623,000 of them-have an important stake in such policies. Their more than seven billion dol- lars of investment in land, buildings, and equipment, their important responsibilities as custodians of the soil and producers .of food, to say nothing of their rights as in- terested citizens, should be sufficient proof of their right to be heard. In the last analysis, the end products of soil and wa- ter conservation are farm products econ- omically produced, now and in the future. If the farmer is to do the job that is ex- pected of him, he should at least be per- mitted advisers who understand his prob-

lems.”

BONUSES T0 INDUSTB!

"Among the acts passed by the Lcgislature thlsgsession, was one to encourage new industries in Charlottetown. The bill 'allowed the City Council to grant bon- uses to proprietors of any new industry, and to exempt reel es- tate belonging to such, from clvlc taxation. The Legislative Council struck out the words relating to bonuses, and limited the period for which exemptions should be made to five years. As the city has no money. and is not likely to have any, to spare for grant- ing bonuses. the amendment is. to use A vulgar but trite obser- vation, like a 'chlp in porrldge'-- certainly no good, but, perhaps, not calculated to do much harm."

Misuse of Quebec's roads hes gone on for so long that citizens may have wondered, after the gov- ernment's announcement that the problem was being given considera- tion, whether anything really effec- tive would be done to correct the situation. The beginning of driving tests in Montreal is tangible proof that improvement is on the way.- Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph

Modern four-lune Iilglivnyl are designed for maximum ufety. The experience of traffic safety ex- perts and the skill and ingenuity of engineers go into the construc- tion of these highways to give motorists the safest operating "plant" that can be provided in the light of present day knowledge. Yet it has been demonstrated that the provision of these factors does not eliminate, perhaps does not even reduce, accidents in ratio to volume of traffic. Too often mo- torlsts are encouraged by superb driving conditions to drive "at dangerous speeds. and resultant ec- cldents are made more deadly by the factor which caused them to happen - Kingston Whlg-Stand- ard.

tlvely at the things which trouble us now and interpret them in the language of poetry, for there is something of the historian at well as something of the mystic in every first rate poet.

But, although the world my have to wait in weariness for a rebirth of poetic genius, It is help- ful mesriwhile to reflect on what the masters of Romanticism did for their day And generation and, indeed, for all succeedlnc days end generations. If in some ins- tances they dld nothing more then leave posterity a. legacy of "the ideal unobtalnable", who will deny that that, too, wu profitable for us all?

0 O I I think it is generally agreed that Coleridge and Wordsworth were the reel leaders in the in- tellectual revolt which brought I- bout the great upsurge of poetry late in the 18th century. It was I. "revolt" in the sense that it experimented with I ' ' style as against the elaborate and cum- bersome artlfices which had go- verned Engllsh poetry for some considerable time. As Coleridge himself confided in 1 friend: "We wondered how tho public would endure the sole use of such words as are common in the most ordinary language". Apparently, -the public endured it very well. The essence of this revival in literature. again to quote Coler- idge," was that poems should be based .chlef1y on natural subjects taken from common life but look- ed through imaginative medium". In a day when the things of na- ture are largely considered for the technical utility in men”: sole title and commercial under- takings, it is refreshing to re- discover in Coleridge and Words- worth the spiritual and con- templative vsllle of common things. 0 O

A lot of hard things have been said about Byron the men but no one will question the assertion that u I poet he deeei'vee.to be num- bered iunonx the giants. He made e. real contribution to the cause of human freedom and it is no de- truction to suggest thnt his liter- ary method: were, in the main, of negative character. Like John the Baptist in another revolutlpnsxy ere (like him in his him, that is. certainly. not in his habits), Byron was essentially a. breaker down of tyranny, hypocrisy, and sham. He had no skill for building the new sud there is little in his poetry to indicate any special ven- eratlon for constructive princi- ples which of course are essential in any social regeneration.

But Byron never pretended to be 9. reformer. I-Io sew himself as e destroyer and to that mission he

Shelley was preparing plans for some. thing better. While Byron laboured to keep his philosophy earth-bound, Shelley squad far into the helghtu, The heights sometimes made him . bit dizzy but he did not mind thug, His Jillosoplilcel opinions and be. lief: were sometimes - f Lie and occasionally incredible, but they were never insincere. No poet ever entered more intimately into the mysteries and glories of nature or used imnzery with greater effect. The idea of beauty hidden in common thing: (birds, clouds, winds. flowers, frost) is perhaps de- veloped in greater fullness by shel- ley than by any other poet who has followed the same trend. It could very well be nrgued that the re- discovery of such hidden beauty Ll one of the pressing needs of mod- em life which takes its beauty cues largely from the synthetic dyes of Hollywood and the cover: of cheap megulnee.
