At the some time it failed to provide adjustment grants to the Maritime Provinces sufficient. .to keep them out of I deficit position.

Doubtiess. lending statesmen of the five world today are Just In great patriots as were their prede- cessors who bore the burdens of of- fice before the United Nations Or- ganization attained its present stat- ure. The point is they are more severely handicapped than their pre- decessors were in upholding national interests. They are, in fact, in the difficult position of trying to serve two masters, national interests and the interests of the world commun- ity as interpreted by majority opul- lon in the UN. General Assembly: and. unfortunately. and inevitably. the two masters are often at l?ll'l- alive. The experience of Sir Anthon; l-Eden is a good illustration of this. What he did in the Suez crisis last

fall was, or so it seemed to him, the 1

proper thing to have done from the l

sifllltlptlllll of Britain's interests: in- tlcwl. from the standpoint of the in- tcrcsts of the entire free world. as even some of his bltterest critics at the time are now acceding. at lea-l

Unfortttnately. it. isn't: and in the very nature of international politics it cannot he. Indeed, if it were, there would he no need of the organi'1.ation and its evpcnsire ram- ifications. This does not make Mr. F,iscnhower or any other free-world statesman less patriotic than. say, Sir Winston (fhureliill or the late M. Ilerriot: but it does make their patriotism more difficult, hedged about as it is with the conflicting emotions and aims of the L'.N.

EDlTORlAL NOTES

A newspaper article on Ian Mac- leod. the popular Minister of Labour in the British (Tahinet, reports that although he happens to be born in Yorkshire. he is of Scottish descent. Almost anyone would have guessed as much.

A member of the Legislature has declared "it is not always the best educated person who makes the best teacher." That, of course. is true. lloivever, it is easy to build upon it the inference that a good education is not essential to good teaching; and that is false.

"Once a nation consents to hav- ing I UN. force stationed on its territory," said Secretary Dulles the other day. "a good argument can be made that the consent cannot be arbitrarily withdrawn." The argu- ment is perfectly sound.

THE GASOIJNH TAX

Sir, - It must have occurred In more than s few island motor- ists. as they attempted to cope uuh our road conditions these last ten days. that it might be hftlipr business - and would certainly he more pleasant - to pay money out in increased gasoline tax and set brttcr roads, instead It fputtinl it ""0 tzarasze bills or lose their op- portunity to make it at all becnusp of present conditions. Those who have been thinking along such hncs won't begrudge the extra three cents I gallon their gasoline will cost them. provided I note. wnrthy improvement in the roads results.

Howeier. it is I low hlow at music industry in the province to expect farmers and fishermen to pay any extra in on gasoline used in their work. especially when crusts are already driving mm. of them out of business. As it was, they were paying 5 nu-H...-pm... gallon tax which discriminated against them: supplies for bust. nesses which don't use gnoling Iren't taxed. and the operators of such enterprises get off scot free, Then. too. some fsmu-rs use diesel tractors The owners of tiles? 03.

While the Gordon Commission reI'e.rred to the migration of Mar- itimers as a last resort it is well known that for many years there has hccn a steady and consistent move from the area.

in recent years, for I variety of reasons the tide. of immigration into New England from the Mari- limes has slackened I good deal although the number of Canadians who leave their own country for the United States every year is g i i l l disturbingly high. To-day many of the young people of Prince Edward Island have gone to centres of great lndustrIli7.I- lion in the central provinces. The fast-growing City of Toronto seem: to he I favorite drawing card and hundr.-:ds of islanders have moved there in the last few years. This is I situation which should give us cause for the most serious reflec- flnn. But I consideration of tits ressomi for the exodus is not the purpose of the story. Rather shall I deal with an Island organization nf which I became aware during 3 recent stay in the great Ontario Metropolis.

Admittedly. it is diffi- cult to devise a system for dealing with this matter which doesn't have any drawbacks. Some of the other provinces use marked gu-
