The French Situation

in France

The current political crisis may not have much disturbing effect on French domestic affairs, for the simple rea-; son that the people in that country are so; accustomed to changes in Government lead-. arship that they take them as a matter ofl course. The effect on Western European: security measures, however, cannot be, good. in West Germany it is likely to be; especially discomiiting. Chancellor Aden-1 Iuer has been having a difficult enough: time all along in his efforts to bring aboutl popular sympathy for the Paris Agree-; merits. Now, his task will be more difficult. still. His opponents, whose political strengthl is nearly equal to his own, and fully equal; in some provinces, have been afforded add-4 Id incentives and support in their campaign; to give Russian plans for German reunifica-A tion I definite place in the country's political policy; it must not be forgotten that this hope of reunification is common to all Ger- mans, irrespective of ideological and geo-1 graphical boundaries. i

As I matter of fact, there is no way of inlling at the moment whether any F ranch administration-granted that one will be fotmcl that will last more than a week or so -will consider the approval of the Paris Agreements by the Lower House as a fait Iocompli. There is at least a 50-50 chance that the Upper House, which has yet to con- sidor the legislation, will attach so many amendments to it that it will have to be re- turned to the deputies for reconsideration. All this is detrimental to Chancellor Aden- Iuer'I hope that West Germans will see the wisdom and practicability of rearmament, admission to NATO, and all the other pro- visions of the Agreements. In Washing- Ion-no doubt, in other Western capitals Is well-there already is fear that the pro- posed Western Alliance, including West Gonnany, will have to go the way of the Ilbundoned E. D. C. It is all very annoying S ivory nation concerned-except, of Quilt, Soviet Russia.

Federal Public Works

Charlottetowns new Federal Building is,

made clear, is that the Federal Government is only one of the three levels of govern- ment engaged in constructing public pro- jcts. Its efforts account for only about a quarter of total new .public construction and a tenth of all new construction in the coun- try. Bearing this in mind, his optimistic forecast with regard to building activity this year, and consequent increase in em- ployment, would seem to be well justified.

Frozen-Food Possibilities

Prospects for Prince Edward Island's participation on I large scale in the frozen- food industry are pictured by Mr. Hugh Paton, himself I native of this Province, and one of I group in Toronto which has acquired a substantial part of the infant in- dustry in Canada. Mr. Paton predicts that Canadian frozen-food sales, now running about m5,000,000 I year. will. within five years. reach between f85.000,000 and ii100,000,000. The company now distributes fruit, vegetables, poultry and fish products through distributing centres covering all ten Provinces. It is the intention to estab- lish production plants, with immediate ob- jectives in the Maritimes, Ontario and Bri- tish Columbia. Virtually all materials for frozen foods, except citrus juices, can be produced in Canada and Mr. Paton believes that the Maritimes, and particularly his home Province, will have virtually I year- round industry, with seasonal vegetables in

summer and fall, followed by chicken, po- tatoes and fish in the fall and winter.

This is I movement closely in line with the industrial development policy of our Provincial Government, and with food pro-

tion about the rapid expansion of the froz- en-food industry in the United States, of the opportunities for its development in Canada or the advantages accruing to our farm and fishery producers by establish- ment of the industry here. This is indeed the logical centre for I Maritime produc- tion plant, as our superiority agriculturally is unchallenged and our dragger operations are already yielding phenomenally in- creased returns from the sea. With our Legislature now in session, opportunity might well be given for discussion of the prospects reviewed by Mr. Paton. and of any relevant information the Government may have on the subject.

About 287,184 pounds of U. S. surplus butter has been recombined with nonfat dry milk to make evaporated milk, some of which has been sold to Peru. An addi- tional 45 million pounds will be converted to butter oil for human use, most of it for

H course, but one of numerous major con- struotion projects which the Federal De- partment of Public Works is carrying on at the present time. Some idea of the extent of governmental activities in this respect was given in a recent address by the Fed- srul Minister of Public Works, Hon. Robert .Winters, who prefaced his remarks by stat- ing that the construction industry can look forward to a high level of activity in Can- Ida throughout 1955. The bulk of new con- struction will, of course, be initiated by private enterprise but the Government has I considerably enlarged program to be de- veloped and implemented.

Actually the Government plans to spend about two million more on public projects, in the broadest sense of the term, during 1955-56 than in the current fiscal year. Some of this increased expenditure will be for construction work on the St. Lawrence Seaway; anotheln buoyant year of house building is contemplated and Provincial Gxvernments are being encouraged to ac- ceerate the pace of construction on the Trans-Canada Highway. Legislative pro- vision is made for greater activity in ef-

fecting railway grade separations; an ex-I

tensive program under the Maritime Marsh- lands Reclamation Act is planned, and the Government is inviting fuller participation h other projects designed to contribute to conservation and development of national resources.

For all departments Parliament will be asked to vote a total of about S358 million in 1955-56 for the constluction of buildings, works and contributions to the Trans-Can- Ida Highway. Of this amount, construction votes in the estimates of the Public Works Department account for some 3106 million. Ten years ago, Mr. Winters pointed out, the corresponding amount was only five mil- lion dollars. In addition, his department will carry out work on behalf of other gov- ernnlcpt departments amounting roughly to 315 million. Defense constnlction amounts N 8172 millions.

welfare distribution in foreign countries, such as Pakistan. 0 O I As Education Minister Clark pointed out in the Legislature, it is only shadow boxing to raise the issue of provincial status in con- nection with federal aid to education. The B.N.A. Act does not in any way prevent the Federal Government from granting such assistance provincially, as is already evi- denced by their contribution in the field of vocational training, and in the present small per capita grants to universities. Mr. Clark says this Province would welcome any rea- sonable proposals to co-operate with Ottawa and to perform its share in I national edu- cational program. O O C New evidence that one totalitarian sys- tem ls very much like another is conveyed in a report from East Germany. In the Nazi hey-day the National Socialist Uni- l,versity Organization made student-spying l a normal part of academic life. The student lwho could report the biggest number of political students in his group was the one who merited the highest favour of school authorities. Now, the Federation of Ger- man Youth is carrying out the same mig- sion with increased vigour. Toleration, freedom of thought, and "rotten liberalism" are the "unscientific and decadent" quali- ties which all loyal students must report to headquarters, just as in Hitler's day. 0

O O

The Opposition leader and the Minister of Health and Welfare have both been vigor- ous in condemning the Railway application for removal of local passenger train services during eight months of the year. Unfor- tunately it is not the people of this Province whom they have to convince, but the Board of Transport Commissioners. These un- sentimental gentlemen will be reminded by the Railway that there was an alternative bus service offer which the Legislature turned dowh. which was to have operated under our Provincial Utilities Board, with adequate bus terminal and repair shop facil- ities in Charlottetown for the employment of I considerable number of railway men in addition to the bus operators. Is there any possibility of obtaining reconsideration of this offer in the event of I decision against the Province in the present case?

To the thinking. conscientious. and worried parents with children attending school: in Unit No. 1. the statement indicates the line of least resistance.

Now that the friction in School Unit No. 1 has erupted into the open, it is more than time that the problems in its administration were earnestly studied by both Government and Peoplu.

To begin with, the formation of the School unit was conceived without any consulation with the citizenry. It was done by act of Legislature, but such legislation. is, the very antithesis of dem- ocratic British government.

Significant Soviet Decree Edward Crunkahauk

The Supreme Soviet, shortly before the resignation of Georgi Malenkov, issued I decree aimed at stopping peasants and their cattle from trespassing on collec- tive property. It was one of those unobtrusive decrees which at first sight appear entirely innocuous. but which in fact are more far- reaching in their effects than many imposing-sounding measures. For, if it is properly enforced. this decree will have a radical effect on the whole practice of Soviet agriculture.

In the preamble it says that widespread damage to collective farms has been caused by cattle, poultry and horse and motor trans- port crossing flelds. Forest shelter belts, fruit plauations, etc.. also have been damaged "to the great prejudice of the interests of col- lective and stats farms and of

the state." 0 O 0

The third effect. forbidding the peasants and officials tractors, carts and automobiles across fields. will, if obeyed, af- fect the whole topography of the collectives.
