CHARLOTTISTOWN. mononr, NOV. 2:1.-1950 'i'he Late Mr. strong

Prince Edward Island has lost one of its finest citizens in the uncxpcctczl pissing yesterday of Mr. Heath Strong, K.C., of Summerside. For several years a represen- tative of the Bedeque District in the Leg- islature, he also served for a number of years as Speaker of the House, and in that capacity set an unsurpassed example for fairness and conscientiousness, as well as for intimate knowlezlge of his d-ities. lie was never absent from his seat except on occasions of necessity, and whether in Opposition or as a s;1pporter of the Gov- ernment liept a watchful eye on every piece of legislation, not infrequently sug- gesting amendments for its clarification or impitovrmcnf rshich were almost invariably adopted.

Indeed, Mr. Strong never spoke but he was heard with marked deference and at.- tention, for he was admittedly one of the best informed men in the House, and cer- tainly one of its ablest debaters. This was due not only to his ability and long ex- perience in the legal profession, but to an- other and rarer qualification-namely, his sense of duty and responsibility to the great traditions of the .past, to all that democratic self government means, and what is incumbent upon the elected rep- resentatives of the people in presefvillg it intact and untranished. This ideal motivat- ed all his actions as a public man. and it worried him not at all whether, in decid- ing on a course .of action where his prin- ciples were at stake. he stood alone or with the big battalions. Men of his type are the saving salt of our political system, and whether in or out of office their in- fluence is invaluable.

Mr. Strong was active in church and community as well as provincial affairs, and was indeed an exemplary citizen in every respect. He was devotedly attached to his home, and it is in the family circle that his loss will of course be most keenly felt. The Guardian joins with a host of friends in extending Sympathy 10 W5 bereaved widow and relatives.

rraai.iE"Eiie?&TEr Security

Amid the claims of what the Govern- 'ment is doing to provide social security and the Opposition offers which tend to'up the ante a different voice was heard in the Pro-

'incial by-election campaign.

Nlr. Saville, perhaps as he himself de- clared, because of his having attained the biblical three score years and ten, had some sober reflections to put before the people of this Province. Much had been said by both parties about old age pen- sions, family allowances, mothersl allow- ances, public health services and assistance to farmers. Mr. Saville cautioned the vo- ters that every Government service must be paid for by a surrender of liberty. The farmer and fishermen today are not. he declared, as free men as they were years ago. They enjoy much more security but have lost in independence.

The warning is badly needed. Cann- rlians, and particularly those in the Mari- times, have acquired a confirmed habit of demcncling that the Government take ac- tion to deal with each and every difficulty or necessity which arises. It is all too easy to forget that the Government must take the necessary powers before being able to meet these demands and that with every new activity of Government the lib- erty of the individual is that much further restricted.

r:iiiip3iT:?ExampIa

Since World War 11 ended, the Philip- pine Government has received nearly two billion dollars in various forms of economic aid from the United State; Despite this flow of dollars, the Philippine Republic achieved nothing but to bring its people to a state bordering on national bank- ruptcy und social disintegration. The result was that Washington decided, before shell- ing out any more U. S. dollars, to send Under-secretary Bell of the United States

I Trcesttz-y to Manila to find out what was

wrong.

Sheer incompetence and lack of initia- tive, says Mr. Bell, lie at the root of Philippine difficulties. Spending of any further financial aid from the United

Qstotes, he adds, "must be supervised and controlled by an American technical mis-

sion, and the Phillppiiio. Government must prof fur-reaching re-

.

conscious of their new nationalism.

Before the Government of Canada em- barks upon grandiose and costly technical and economic aid programs in other under- developed countries, whether under UN or Commonwealth auspices, it might be well to take a look at some of the implications. If those implications include the creation of what looks like a new colonial service under UN or Commonwealth auspices, then technical and economic aid programs, quite apart from cost, are something for the Canadian Government to steer away from. Economic aid without dabbling in matters which properly belong to the sovereign gov- ernments of East and South-East Asia would probably fare no better than Amer- ican efforts in the Philippines.

WHO WILL SUCCEED MR. DOUGLAS?

sir. - Since the untimely passing of Mr. J. Lester Douglas there has been considerable talk and specula- tion as to who will be his success- or in this dual constituency of Queens.

As most of our memories are short. penhaps it would be well to review the results of the vote at the lost, General Election in June, 1949. At that time, the Liberal can- didates were the late Mr. Douglas am! Mr. ecii Miller - (Mr. Mll- ier running for the first time); the Conservative candidates were. the now sitting Member Mr, Chester S. McLure and Mr. Angus Mcl.ean- iMr. Mr-Lean running for the sec- ond time).

The result of the voting at that time gave Mr. McLure a majority of 6 vctes over Mr. Douglas - Mr. Douglas a majority of 635 over Mr. McLean and Mr. McLean a majority of 2'74 over Mr. Miller. Now most people like cricket and precedent has est.a:2- llsiied the fact that B defeated candidate is always given the see- ond chance if he desires the nom- Lnation.

Since it is generally kncwn that Mr. Miller will accept the nomin- ation and according to all rules of the game he is entitled to it. There- fore. why not give him an acclama- lion when the convention takes place and thus show our unanimity. Of course perhaps, he will get. an acclamatlon. I do not. know; but rumour at least has it that others are going to seek the nomination. andalso that a small grcup in the City are endeavouring at all costs to defeat Mr. Miller for the nom- ination. If that is the case I can- not see where they will get any- where; because the majority of the pcople (the delegates in this case) do not like unfair tactics, and as I said before. the large majcrity al- ways like to play cricket.

274 votes is a very small margin to be defeated by; a change over of only 1-38 votes is all that. is neces- sary to win on the basis of the last election. -

In view of the circumstances I do i.-ct think the Conservatives will consider wasting neither their time. money or efforts in such a hopeless tank. After all. are the people of Queen's County going to elect. another member in the up- position when we are assured cf a Liberal Government in Ottawa for nnother three years at least-it does not make sense. This latter reason if for no other-(and there are many) should assure the election of any Liberal candidate in the forth- coming by-election in this constit- uency.

A Snare and A Delusion

By Sebastian l-luffner

The Russian disarmament pro- posals - a general but unenforce- able ban on atomic weapons and an all round 30 per cent reduction of other armaments - have become a hardy perennial of the general assemblies of ;the United Nations. Oziginaliy designed as a counter- blast to the American Baruch Plan for the internationalization of atomic energy. they have been put forward again. year after year, regardless of the fact that the As- sembly has always rejected them with great majorities.

The sad and futile penformance has been duly repeated during the last two weeks; and last Tuesday. after the debate which produced I few arguments not heard in pre- ceding years, the Russian pro- posals were once more rejected by .1 political committee of the U. N. General Assembly.

The Russians can hardly have expected a different outcome and the question is inevitable why they once more went through the whole gamut of exhausted argu- ments using. in the words of the Canadian Foreign Minister. Mr. Pearson. talk as a delaying sub- stitute for agreement. The answer probably is they still expect some propaganda dividend from pro- posals. T-heir formula is simple and sounds well. "Ban the atom bomb and reduce other arma- ments" - what could appear more plausible and agreeable to the cas- ual newspaper reader? To see -pitfalls in a proposal demands lit- tle effort. of attention and thought and Russian policy makers who ha-bitually take a law View of mass intelligence probably think few people anywhere will make that effort. They expect rejection of their proposals will simply be taken by ordinary people as proof that Russia is peace-loving and the rest of the world warmonger- inz.

O 0 O

In fact, Russian proposals, so far from showing a peaceable frame of mind, cany rather a sin- ister message. They mean that Russia. despite her present in- feriority in atomic armaments, is not prepared to see atomic energy genuinely internationalized and removed from national arsenals; that in other armaments she is grimly clinging to preponderance which the unilateral western post- war demobilization has given her: and worst of all that she is trying to shift the u'dium of "warmonger- ing" and "war crimes" away from aggression and on to all-out de- fence against aggression.

As regards atomic weapons. the

point of Russian proposals is not that they are to be banned but that they one to be banned inef- fcctualiy and unenforceabiy.

it was America, not Russia who put forward the radical idea that atomic enerly. because of its im- measurable destructive potentiali- ties, should be altogether taken out of the sphere of national sover- eignty and put into the sole hand: of an international authority. This is the essence of the Baruch Plan which Russia has always fought. and is still fighting. What Russia absolutely insists on is that every power - and of course par- ticularly herself for no other great power has rejected the Baruch Plan - shall retain the physical means of producing its ownxatomic energy and of using it if it so wishes for war-like ends. Of course Russia is Ill for the ban of atomic weapons on paper; she has no objection: at all to America destroying her atomic bomb stock- pile; she would even allow inter- national inspector in peacetime to' look into those atomic establish- ments of which they are told, but what she does not want'to re- nounce on any femur in the physi- cal possibility to evade interna- tional inspection and to ignore the internitionui bun -- especially in wartime. When it comes to that Russia has for four years now had only n strong "no". And it is that

"HONORABLE 5'' FOR LIFE

Excerpt from u despatch to Heu- tenont: Governor Bnunermon from Sir John Pnkington, Secretary of state for the Colonies, Downing Street, London, 23rd Dec., 1862:

"After the fullest. consideration which I have been able to bestow upon the sublect. I am of opinion that All retiring members of the Executive Council should, no a general and fixed rule. retain the title which they enjoyed while in office. It may be that this ex- tension of the privilege will, in some degree, lessen the value of the honor to be conferred; but. on the other hand to limit. the reten- tion of the title to those members only who have served either for very ccnsidernble periods! or with peculiar dlst.i.nction' - qual- ilcatlons of no indefinite 1 nature also render the selection it took at once difficult and lnvidious - is A course which I conceive to be open to grave objections. Such a rule must expose the Governor, with whom the selection rests, to tn. quent and unmerlted charges of purtinlity, and must also tend to create a. feeling of disappointment and jealousy, detrimental to the tranquility and wellbelng of the community.

"On the other hand. I consider it to be for the interest of the Province that every fair induce- ment should be held out to men of ability and character to enter the public service. and the establish- ment of 3 general rule. whereby the political service of the Crown in the Colonies shall confer rank and precedence for life, would I believe, have the good effect of giving the head of the local Gov- ernment u wide range for the sc- lcction of his advisers. by render- ing the men of standing and abil- if.y in the Colony, who would not otherwise be candidates for pub- lic employment. desirous of being selected for this mark of Her Ma- jesty's approbation.

"Unless, therefore, there exist; any special grounds of objection. of which I am not aware, I have to instruct you to inform the mem- bers of your late Council that Her Majesty has been pleased to up- prove of their retaining the rank and title: which they held while members of the Government of Prince Edward Island."

Red Army shall voluntarily per- petuate thelr present defenceless- ness. This of course would not make for peace. It would make for war by increasing the tempu- tion of a stronger power to use its superiority aggressively.

Does Russia feel that tempta- tion even now? Does she play with the idea of an aggressive war? We cannot know but there is one particularly sinister aspect of Russian "peace" ploposalo. That is that any unfavourable refer- ence to aggression is completely absent in them.

Before the wnr- of 1938 when Russia was genuinely ufroid of foreign Aggression all her efforts in international diplomacy centred on defining aggression, outlawing it and creating condition: for coi- iective Iotlonegainst it. Now the
