Election in iluolieo

The Union Nationale Government head- ed by Premier Duplessis is making a strong bid for re-election in Quebec. where the voting takes place on Wednesday. The Lib- oral Opposition, however, have put up a full slate of candidates-ninety-two in all- and are voicing confidence in the outcome. In the 1948 campaign, Mr. Duplessis based his successful appeal mainly on his rejec- tion of the tax rental agreement with Ot- tawa. His views are unchanged and are probably reinforced today by the fact that the new Dominion-Provincial agreements have recently been signed, with Quebec and Ontario again staying out.

On the issue of social security the Premier takes a new line not often heard. Declaring his faith in private enterprise, he points out that "the Government is not; a manufacturer of money” but a tax collector. ”Let; us not create more appetites than we can satisfy," he says, ”and give the impres- sion to the people that they can obtain everything without paying for it."

Heading the C. C. F. forces and the first Canadian woman to become political leader of a. party, is Mme. Therese Casgrain. Now national vice-chairman of the CCF, she was the first woman to he a Federal cand- idate in Quebec, when she ran in 1942 as an Independent Liberal in Charlevoix- Saguenay, coming second among five. Her father, Sir Rodolphe Forget, had held the seat for 13 ycars as a Conservative, and her susband. the late Pierre Casgrain who became Speaker of the House of Commons, won it as a Liberal.

Breeding For Food

Strong criticism of the system of cattle and poultry breeding as practised in the United States and taught in U. S. agricul- tural colleges is expressed by a well-known scientist, Mr. E. Parmalee Prentice in an American publication, the Political Science Quarterly. The author is concerned over the prospect that at its present rate of in- crease the U. S. population will outstrip its food supply in approximately 30 years. He does not believe that any possible improve- ment in cattle and poultry breeding meth- ods will do more than forestall this coming period of shortage, but he holds that a

grave responsibility rests upon the agri- cultural colleges. The principle upon which cattle are

judged today is, says Mr. Prentice, "that. the useful qualities of cattle are revealed by their external characters.” The score card by which these characters are judged has as its source "a book on agriculture, writ- ten by a Carthaginian, Mago, in the Punic language, and translated into Latin by or- der of the Roman Senate.” The equivalents of the phrases used by Mago still appear, virtually unchanged, on the modern score card.

Thc brcedcr's goal should be, not a prize-winning Guernsey or Hereford, but a cow which will yield the maximum amount of high quality milk or beef. "This goal re- quires for its attainment an institution such as an agricultural college, in which a pro- gramme can be carried on from generation to generation, and it requires that the herds from which selection can be made should

, he very large. For more than 30 years Mr.

Prentice and his fellow scientists have been putting his theory to the test at Mount Hope Farm at Wiiliamstown, Massachusetts, con- centrating largely on the breeding of dairy cattle and egg-laying poultry.

The original poultry stock consisted en- tirely of the offspring of seven champion layers with records ranging from 287 to 314 eggs per year. By 1949 there were 297 birds in the Mount Hope flock finishing their pullet year records with production of 300 or more eggs. and the average weight of the eggs laid in a year has near- ly doubled since 1920 and is rising. No at- tempt is made to raise the annual produc- tion above 365 eggs per hen. As this fig- ure is approached more and more emphasis is placed on weight per cgg, with the result that Mount Hope now has birds laying 300 eggs a year with a total weight of 50

pounds-the equivalent of 400 Grade A, 2-

ounce eggs. " .

In the whole 33 year history of the flock no attention whatever has been paid to the outward appearance of the Mount Hope poultry. Their "web, fluff, quills of feathers" and other properties would not now commend them to a judge of Leghorns at a poultry show. That name no longer

I describes them and they have been given a new one-Cornucoplas.

This result has been achieved by organ- izing the inheritance which the biids pass from one generation to another, so as to eliminate all inheritances that are undesir- able and to increase all that add to the practical usefulness of the flock. Thus an individual hen might achieve a remarkable production record, but if the average per- formance of the family to which it belongs falls below the approved level the whole family is discarded.

Such a programme calls for large-scale operations, and to achieve this, particularly with cattle. Mr. Prentice suggests that the agricultural colleges should co-ordinate and specialize their breeding programmes, and that they should- entirely ignore external characteristics. This would mean the elim- ination of the standard cattle and poultry breeds as we know them today. Mr. Prent- ice believes that such a programme is long overdue. .

A Year-CTf-Truce Talks

(Ottawa Journal)

,.

When armistice talks opened in Korea almost. A year ago. the Un- ited Natlona adopted an attit- ude of hope diluted with some pessimism. It still had to be learn- ed if the Communists were in earnest. or if they merely wont- ed a respite during which to build up their forces. Since then, conces- sions have been made on both sides, and it. seems almost. cer- tain that the Communists do, in- deed. wnnt B. truce; but they want it at the best. price they can obtain.

From the first. the negotiations and the propaganda accompany- ing them tried the patience of both sides. But. steady progress was made. The Communists n- bslndoned their demand for a. de- moi-cation ne at. the 38th Parallel, finally soc pttng the existing bat.- tlefront.--much of it north of the Parallel-as the new frontier. The U. N. mods concessions on supervision of the truce, and the Communists agreed to postpone discussion of ”” 1 problems until after an armistice was con- cluded. Stlll to be solved is the problem of exchange of prisoners.

From I. broader viewpoint, the talks have also been worthwhile. They are the only point. of contact: between the U. N. and Communist China-s. condition that need not have u-icon had the People's Re- pubuc of China been allowed re- presentation in the U. N. in the first place. Moreover, it. has been shown thnt the Chinese Commun- ists, if hard, abusive bu-gnlnen, will make concessions. If the pro- tracted negotiations have placed I stnln on the U. N.. Korea. has proved I. drnin on Ohlnrs resour- ces also. Moreover, in the armistice negotln” as in the previous fighting, the U. N. bu nhown plainly that nurcsslon would be resisted - and this, after all, was the primary Ind essential pur- pose of U. N". action in Koren.

It is perhaps unfox-tunata that political dlacuulons lending to 1 brand Far Eastern settlement have been no long postponed. No doubt. this has been for practical reasons, especially since U. N. member: are not lmous in their Pu Eas- tern views.

Now that colleges and univers- ltles'in various parts of the world are appointing the Rhodes Schol- ars that they will send to Oxford next full. one is reminded of those words. "So much to do! So little done!" that "Cecil Rhodes whispered as he lay dying on March 26, 1902. in Mulzenberg, near Cape Town. They were the words of a man with whom Death had been fpirtlng during the last two thirds of his forty-eight years of active life. A man with an im- perlsl dream.

Cecil John Rhodes is unique among both fortune builders and

nation builders, for in his brief span of years he accumulated multiplied millions of dollars

through the development of the Kimberley diamond mine: and other important projects in South Africa. and in addition he realized his great ambition to add much of the Dark Continent to the British Empire.

Rhodes devoted his life to the accomplishment of a single pur- pose-to unify the EngllIh-speak- ing ',. ' and extend their civil- izlng influence throughout the world. That. very early in life he proposed to dedicate his energy and talents to this purpose in the highest ideal of practical achieve- ment is evidenced in his first "will and testament”. made in his

own handwriting when he was but twenty-two years of age. 0 O O The last twenty years of his

life were full of boundless activ- ity-physlcal. financial, and polit- lcal. Everywhere throughout South Africa he made his presence felt. He formed. for example, the De Beers Mining Company, capital- lzed st; z2oo.ooo. and afterwards got control of the diamond in- dustry. He was manage! of the British South Africa Company, be- came,u member of the Cape House cl Assembly, arranged the cesslon by King Lobengula of 450,000 square miles of territory now called Rhodesia, was Prime Min- lster of Cape Colony for four years. secured Bechuanaland as ii British possession. planned - though unsuccessfully -- the over- throw of the South African Re-

ubllc. began engineering a Cape- to-Calro railway that should pass entirely through British terx-ltory. instituted native reforms. took great interest in local education. and was prominent in the defense of Kimberley during the South African War. ' The Rhodes Scholarships. which perpetuate his memory and which were established by the terms of his seventh and last will, dated July If 1899, were made possible through the immense. fortune he left behind. one of the greatest of his day. It was valued at about lZ4.000,000 at his death. The an- nual income was then il.'l6,257, but it has since. increased to slightly under f250,000.

In order that men who had an instinct for leadership might re- ceive the benefit of an Oxford University experience, Rhodes had directed that in the selection of ii scholar regard should be had to (1) his literary nnd scholastic at- tainments: (2) his love of manly outdoor games and sports; (3) his qualities of manhood. truth, cour- age, and devotion to duty; and (4) his earlier exhibition of moral force of character and of instincts to lead and take an interest in his schoolmates. For all these things, he believed, would likely guide a scholar in later life to esteem the performance of public duties as his loftlest aim.

The scholarships are restricted. in general, to unmarried men be- tween nineteen and twenty-five and are tenable for two year: at Oxford with a third year at the discretion of the Rhodes Trustees, the annual stipend. until recent- ly, being I400. The terms of the will provide that scholarship: shall be given to students living in the slxty-odd parts of the British Em- pire and also to those living in the United States and Germany. the lost country being named as n kind of alter-thought. Each cand- idate tspjudged on the basis of his school and college records and personal interviews, supplemented by information given by his pro- fessors qnd by students who were his contemporaries.

Certain necessary changcs have been made in the method of selec- tion and in the geographical dis- tribution of scholars coming from the United States. Originally an equal number of scholarship: was given to each state, but that sys- tem of allotment seemed manifest- ly unfair or at least unwise. in 1929, therefore, the Rhodes Trust- ees persuaded the British Parlia- ment to set. aside certain provin- Inns of the Rhodes will and to divide the United States into eight districts of six states each, from which cnndidntn might be more satisfactorily selected, four schol- ar: being now choun annually from each of the districts.

discipline it makes up in thou. oughness. C 0 0 It is too early yet to make mt appraisal of how far Cecil

RhodeI'I purpose has been achin- ed, for he himself once said tint such could not be given for at least a century, perhaps two. Tim results of the first four decade-. were summarized in an interest- ing brochure called "Forty Year: of the Rhodes Scholarships" (0.. ford University Press, 1944) writ- ten by Carleton Kemp Allen, Ox- ford Secrethry to the Rhodrs Trustees. Already about 2,700 ham been appointed an Icholsn, 1.300 of them coming from the United States. More Americans have gona- to Christ Church than to any oth- er college, though Balliol, Merton, Exeter, and Lincoln are well rep- resented. Princeton has sent more than any other American univers- ity, with Harvard, Yale, the lin- iverslty of Virginia, and Brown following in that. order.

One out of five or six American Rhodes Scholars is listed in "Who 3 Who in America." about 200 in all. Among these are such well known men ts: Elmer Davis. former di- rector of the OWI: O. C. Chr- mlchael, president, Carnegie Foun- dation for Advancement of Teach- ing and Willard L. Sperry. dean of Harvard Divinity School. Christ- opher Morley, the distinguished author, is one of three brothers who became Rhodes Scholars, the others being Felix, noted writer and educator of Washington. ll. C., and Frank, London and NM York publisher.

.

Among the many Canadian Rhodes Scholars who have attain- ed distinction may he mentioned Marius Barbcau. ethnologist and folklorist of Ottawa; Archbishop Louis R. Sherman of Winnipeg; George V. Ferguson of the Mont- real Dally Star; Brlgadier,Sher- wood Lett, Vancouver barrister and solicitor; Clilef Justice Harvey A. Winter of St. John's, Neu- foundland; Henry Borden, prom- inent Toronto lawyer and indust- rialist; Joseph T. Thorson. pres- ident of the Exchequer C t. of Canada; John B. McNslr. emicr of New Brunswick; James B. Mar- donnell, bnrrlstr-r, solicitor, and member of Parlinmcnt; and Thanc A. Campbell, Chief Justice of Prince Edward Island.

In other countries Rhodes Schol- are have likewise risen to places of distinction. Roy Lister Robin- son of South Australia, for ex- ample, was made Chief Forestry Commissioner in England; John Wnddlngton of Bcrmuda bccamc Governor of Northern Rhodesia: and Herbert Howard of Rhodesia was appointed Inspector General of Forests in India. These thrvc ure among the half dozen knight- ed for public service.

The occupations that have all- tracted the largest number are. In numerical order, education, law. business. government service. meti- iclnc, and journalism - includ- ing radio. Education and law have claimed more than half of them. Ovcr twenty are president"- of universities and colleges. Many others have made valuable con- tribution: to war effort. "We now have in mind."
