l The Public Accounts

i A surplus of 351.318.566.98 on ordinary account and an overall decrease in liabili- ties of 311.36.133.83 are shown for the year ending March Ill, 1953 in the Public Ac- counts tabled in the Legislature. This at- tractive showing is made in part by a total ordinary expenditure of 3i6..'i52.434.81., which is S3387,600 below the expenditure forecast in the Estimates.

Most of the departments were within their estimates and, indeed, if any fault can be found in the matter of spending it is that not all money appropriated by the Legislature for particular purposes was spent during the year. For instance 1520,- ll00 was voted for pavement assistance to towns but only fii4,699.21 expended, The Prince of Wales special fund received Fed- eral grants for 1952 and 1953 totalling 331,847.47 including interest but only 39,- l83.7l was spent by the end of the fiscal year.

Highway and bridge building took slightly more than estimated but agricul- ture accounted for only .'5218,981.35 instead of the anticipated 5,357,545.00. The admin- istration of justice cost rather more than anticipated. chiefly because of maintenance and supplies for jails and other buildings. Health and welfare took .tl,626,476.36 out of the 511,940,678 voted.

it is highly satisfactory, of course, thatl the various departments are keeping well t' within their estimates. There is a danger.

Australia Remembers

On the occasion of the unveiling of al memorial at Canberra. the capital of Aus-t tralia. paying tribute to U. S. assistanccl during World War 11, Queen Elizabeth spoke memorable words. The London Times reports Her Majesty as saying that "Australia remembered the timely and gen- erous aidgwhich flowed from the United States when the battles in the Pacific raged close to Australian shores. The good will between the British and American peoples was great and real. Their bond was not one of contracts but of heart and mind. springing from it devotion to similar ideals and common traditions. Brotherhood in, arms sli'ci1gthcnc(l their mutual respect andl, created A unity of purpose which would always give pause to those who might think

lanlic in the cause of liberty."

. Her Majesty's words, says the Winnipeg Free Press, will recall the broadcast by the late Premier Curtin of Australia in the

; blackest days of the war in the Pacific.

' on March 13, 1942. when New Guinea was

The one American Socialist: who

as well as in public esteem is Mr. Norman Thomas who until the last: election was the party's presi- dential nominee. I once had the privilege of listening to u. rpeech by Mr. Thomas and I do not recall any speech that impressed me more. It. wasn't so much the way he spoke of Socialism; in that connection he said nothing parti- cularly ntnrtllng or new. Hla theme was the classic one of public versus private ownership of the country's resources and utilities; naturally, he tried to prove that democratic socialism (ii copy of the British variety) was the pol- itical answer to America's 20th century needs.

All this was commonplace and. to me at any rate. not. very con- vlncing; I have never been able to figure out why there is any- thing especially virtuous or effl- clent about any system of bureau- cracy. The thing that impressed me about Mr. Thomas was his obvious sincerity and clean whole- some manner together with his passion for the freedom of the individual and his conviction -that this freedom should be defended against. any ideological or politi- cal creed that might try to set. it at nought.

Here was no demagogue, no see- tarian looking for votes at. any cost, no quack practitioner offer- l.ng I. quick cure for every in un- der the democratic sun. Ndt once did he make an unkind reference to any political leader or fac- tion; he stated his own beliefs sim- ply nnd dlapaaslonately and with the deepest respect for the beliefs of his opponents.

. .

The next. morning the biggest newspaper in the city( owned by a prominent Republican, incidental- ly) said editorially: "Mr. Thomu will not be elected President of the United states: but whoever is elected can learn much from Mr. Thomas about the dignity and good faith which rhould always

clinncterize the spokesman for Amerlcon Democracy." That. Republican editorial tri-

bute is as good I beginning as any for a short summary of a little book recently written byl Mr. Thomas and entitled "The Test. of Freedom". Like every- body else these days Mr. Thornu in troubled in spirit about that thing called "Mccarthylsm" which he defines, with characteristic charltableness. as "an ugly mani- festation of American reaction to I troublesome situation." How- ever. he does not see Senator Me- Carthy, as some do, lls another would-be Hitler.

Even if there were no such man. he argues. civil liberties would be in temporary Jeopardy as a result of what. he calls "Stalin's aggres-
