The iiiiitcd States is making extensive credit available to many European countries, some of which are inside or on the fringe of tlte Iron (lurtain. There is no reason

why Canada sliould not do as niiich for Britain. There is something else to he

said while on this subject. At the present time Britain is coiisitleiiiig entering into it free trade aL'i'cenictit with the countries of Western Eu- rope. Under the proposnrl fornttt'a member nations will be expected to impose higher tariffs than are llmll in force on imports from non-ment- ber nations. Thus far the British are holding out for exemption of goods from Commonwealth countries, es- pecially agriciiltural products, from this protective forniiila. How long they can continue to do so and still hope to become a part of the free trade area is a question. Cert:iinly, some arrangenient for Canadian credit would eiicotirage them to ad- here to that policy ivliinh in the long run would be as advantagcoiis to Canada its to Britain. i

Britain has overcome cconomlc difficiilties in the past-plenty of them. In due course she will over- come the present ones. Meanwhile a little consideration from Canada would do no harm; and it would be a good thing for our future export trade.

Menace To Legislatures

According to a Toronto exchange, the electronic age has caught up with the Ontario Legislature. Mem- bers were startled the other day to see a strange device on the desk of Attorney General Roberts. The face of the device was lit up. What looked like words were seen passing over its face as Mr. Roberts launched into

EDITORIAL NOTES An educator says that ”education will not thrive as it should until teachers on all levels are satisfied with their lot." We can look forward, then, to an indefinite period of some- thing less than a perfectly thriving educational pattern. Very few human beings are satisfied with things as they are. 0 O I An American educator complains about the quality of teaching in teachcrsi colleges and normal schools. "Faculty members", he says, ”who cannot bring their stu- dents to the edges of their chairs at least two or three times during a term are liabilities". Others will say that any teacher who can do this difficult feat is a magician. I I C Prime Minister Ben-Gurion of Israel has more than his share of troubles. However, he has one ad-

his speech. It was a "felt-prompter." Inquiry revealed that the Speaker has allowed the use of this machine, which came within the rules because Mr. Robct'ts' entire speech was not lteinu rolled out. but only notes on tecluiit-itl details.

.in clcclriti substitute for the iit.tntiscript, the ”tclcpi-ompter" is now being used extensively in the i'nitctl,States. Let us hope that we shall be very slow in following such an example in this Province, or at Ottawa for that matter. Whatever its advantages on TV pr-ogi'anitne.;, its use in any pzirliuincnt is an aboinination.

It is. as the Ottawa .lnurn.1l (lo. 6:'Ares. "an invention for dunces, a godsend for the lazy and tlie'illitar- ate": it is first degree murder for public speech. and has been dcscribcd by one robust critic as "a contra- centive between a speaker and his audience." -

"That such an infernal device ihould be allowed in the Legislature of Ontario, once a forum for men like Blake and Mowatt," says our Ottawa contemporary, "is almost unbeliev- able cause for reflection upon the lritolcnble dulheu which almost

Sir. - May I have sotne space in which to write something re- garding the Inowplow service that we. the residents of the main Western Road between Elmsdale and Alma. are receiving.

In the first place, the western Road always was the main high- way. disregarding the fact that the paved highway was built through Albcrton to uC('0m(fdRl9 than who had more political pull than somebody else. and should be one of the first roads to be opened.

Secondly. why does the plow despatcber have to have tit.-uls leading to the more remol til- lage: plowed before some nf i h e main sections of roatls are npenetl?

Thlrdly, why don't the (mola- tors in this urea work at the job instead of making cow path: tlint are filled with the least drift Time and Again they travel up and tlown in the cutting with plains and wlnga' up. and when a sliirlll comes. they c e rt a l rl l 5 have I struggle to get the roads opened.

Two operator: from the Sm-tmd District of Prince were in this urea on Suturdny. And their work should put to shame the plowing dnm-' by the local operators. Any one whit has driven on the roads in the Second District on see how nice-

ii is when they wish they had lent large stints of money to peo- ple who failed to repay them. and that their expense accounts had been larger and their business had been lP"s profitable .

it is when they wonder if they woiilrl have been better off had they not receive an unexpected windfall and had stayed in I lower income bracket: and are disap- pointed. that in the course of the year. they did not use more asu- line from which they could ave deducted the tax. and that their federal and city real estate taxes were not much higher than they ll.'l”9.
