Disaslrous Fire

Many interests: will be affected as a result of the fire which gutted the Oddfellows' Building in the heart of our business centre on Richmond Street over the weekciiti. The loss is a heavy one for all concerned, as it was impossilile, owing to the sutidenness with which the flames gained control. to salvage much from the buildinrz.

The heaviest loss. and the one of most concern front the public stand- point, is the destruction of the plant and equipment of the Patriot Pub- lishing t'otnpany. All our citizens will sympathize with The Patriot publisher. Mr. W. A. Gaudet. and staff in this misfortune. A news- paper is something more than a product of private enterprise: it is in I sense a public utility, for in the dissemination of current news and views it plays a vital part in our democratic system. The Patriot has had a long record of service in this connection, and one which has

rarely, if ever. been interrupted since the fire of 1884. twenty years after its establishment. We are

pleased to state that the present disaster will cause but a minor break in this tradition. The paper will re- appear on Wednesday-with but one day's loss in publication-and will be set up and printed at The Guardian plant. using Guardian day wire services. until other arrange- ments ean be made.

This is customary procedure in emergencies of this kind. We are not unmindful of our own disastrous fire in 19'.2.'l. and the fact that we were able to continue without in- terruption due to the use of The Patriot press at that time. There have, indeed, been instances of rival papers being published regularly from one press in this Province. sometimes with amusing consequen- ces when partisan controversy was much more in evidence than it is today.

The damage caused by the fire would no doulit have been much greater but for the splendid work of our city firemen. In this con- gested area I fire could well have wiped out a whole block of build- ings. as indeed it did on one oc- casion many years ago. We cannot praise too highly the skill of our volunteer fire fighters. and the de- votion which prompted them to re- main on dangerous duty for many hours after the conflagration.

Trade Fair

This year. for the first time, Canada will participate in the Vien- na. Austria. annual Fall Fair which is to be held in the week September 8-1.3. incidentally. a Canadian Trade Commission was recently established in that country.

Many Canadian-produced articles will be on display. including a gam- ma radiography machine. manu- factured by Atomic Energy of Can- ada Limited, asbestos, rayon fabrics. hockey sticks and skates. nylon cord. hardware, leather hides. sal- lton. canned lobster, vegetables and vegetable juices. fruits and whiskey. The metal stands on which the products will be exhibited were pre- fabricated in Ottawa by the Cann- dlan Government Exhibition Com- mission. There will be a cinema with Icntlng accommodation for, about

.-100 persons in which commercial Find other films will be shown. This lb intended to provide vidtorn with EI better understanding of Canada jiid its paopic. Another section will tttll the dory of Canada's way of ilI.,ltI culture. recreations and on-

In exhibiting canned lobster: It Ieems I pity that Island grown potatoes are not included. or any of our diary products. Perhaps they are not interested in such things in Austria. or perhaps they produce

ity. Whiskey heads the list in num- ber of exhibits, three firms, all from Ontario, being represented.

Canada's trade with Austria has never been large. although it has developed noticeably in post-war years. Last year our exports to that country came to about 335 million, chiefly in wheat and base metals. while Austria sent us goods valued at around 34 million. Now that 3 Trade Commission has been set up in Vienna. there will probably Inc an expansion of trade between the two countries. Of course. the Vii-iintt Fair attracts a lot of liui'opeauis l)O- sides Austrians.

The Basic Curse

A Canadian newspaper i'cportcr. back from an extended tour of tlliina, reports that iithe bulk of the thin- ese people are not (lommunists and never will be." That may well tie, since a similar situation exists in the Soviet Union itself. Late l'it:ur-'s reveal that only about three per cent of the Russian people are party members. The figures, liowever. do not soften the l)'l'dllll)l that controls both the Soviet Union and ('lllll-l. All they mean is that a minority possessed of power dominates the whole society. '

The report that many Cliint-so who joined the party did so out of ”opportunism" also reflects the Soviet picture. The fact is that membership in the ('ommuinsi l'ai'!y is not considered as a right but as I privilege. Reports from Russia say that applicants are screened very closely and that only those who are well recommended and who show promise of usefulnt-ss to the machine are accepted. This. of course. is on the theory that the ('omniitnist Party is made tip of the ”elite”. And this. it may be assumed. is its appeal and the source of much of its strength.

This pattern is evident in every phase of Russian and (lliinese life. In religion. for example. Some West- erners who visit the Soviet l'nion claim that there is T9llLZif)l.lS free- dom there. There is. in the sense that people are permitted to go to Church. The trouble is that if they do go they cannot be meinlwrs ot the party. nor can they hold offici- of any kind in the all powerful bureaucracy. They may hold re- ligious belief or even democratic be- lief; but they may not at the same time number themselves among the elect. They are. in fact. ostraciz--d by the elite. This. perhaps, is the basic curse which Communism
