Like the French Bourbons of old, he said, "the Republicans “never learn" anything -and never forget the special - privilege class.” .
RESULTS SAID OBVIOUS
The results can, be seen all around, he said, in such things as 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 men and women looking for work, millions more on part time, bankruptcies at a near peak, school programs neglected, colleges short of funds, hospitals overcrowded, highways in need of rebuilding.
But despite the “Republican re- cessi~on,:” Truman said, the Re- publicans ‘manage to keep prices going up.
“We had a hard time gettin a satellite off the ground, but it was no trick at all for "them to shoot the cost of living into outer
space.”

Large Si“ Docks A
The S. S. Vinland, one of the largest shipsto dock at Souris, arrived Sunday evening in a blinding snowstorm. The 446-foot ship will take on a partial cargo of seed potatoes for Florida ports.
The Vinland’s home port is Liverpool, N. S. Capt. Ralph A. Williams said last night after he docked at 6:30 that harbor pilot Jacob Gillam of Souris was as good as any he had met in ports all over the world. He had special praise for the way the pilot handled the ship in the blinding snow. .
A brother of the captain, Char- les Williams of Liverpool, is sup- erintendent of the line. He arrived in Souris yesterday afternoon by taxi from Charlottetown.
Capt. William said the ship would stay a week or ten days at Souris if needed to pick up enough potatoes to complete her cargo. She can take up to 75,000 sacks of seed potatoes.

Before coming to Souris the ship took on 3,583 tons of paper at Corner Brook, Nfld., consigned to Savannah, Georgia and Miami, Florida. _
Not a sign of ice was seen in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the Corner Brook to Souris voyage, Capt. Williams said.
At Souris, waterfront observers said this was the 51st consecu- tive month the harbor was open to navigation. And in all but two of those months ocean-g01f18 ships had called at Souris.
The S. S. Vinland is registered at 4,286 tons, 7,160 gross and 10,- 457 deadweight. In a full carg0 the ship could take on 196,000 75- pound sacks of potatoes.
Loading of the potatoes at Souris is scheduled to begin at 8 o’clock this morning. The cargo is being assembled by a number of ship- pers, it was understood, with Rus- sell Ching having charge of the stevedoring.

Canada has adopted an attitude of unqualified goodwill towards both of the major regroupings among Arab nations in the Mid- dle Ea,-st. .
Egypt and Syria announced Feb. 1 that they had formed a United Arab Republic. Yemen, an absolute monarchy, said Feb. 11 that she will federate with it Feb. 21. ’ .
Wealthy Iraq and her poor poor neighbor, Jordan, announced
Federal State, both their mon- archs retaining their domestic ‘thrones with King Faisal of Iraq b e c 0 min g the federation’s crowned - head.
While recognizing that the mon-
archical federation was called ‘into being to offset the United Republic, Canada’s position is to deprecate any Western pressures that would -tend to pit one against the other. i , COMMUNIST POLICY The Egypt - Syria combination is considered essentially neutral- ist in relation to the major power blocs, while Yemen harbors an anti-British feeling after armed clashes last autumn. The Iraq-Jordan partnership is held to be more pro - Western. Iraq is a member of the Bagh- «dad act but her withdrawal from that alliance now would not surprise anyone. 3
Officials in Ottawa say they have detected a tendency in the West to encourage rivalry be- tween the two groups with a view ‘to splitting the Arab ;world. This is held t-o savor more of taking a leaf from the Communists’ notebook than of developing the long-run sympathetic approach which Canada feels has better chances of earning goodwill from both groupings.»
“Divide and conquer" may be said to have been paraphrased by the Communists -into “split them, unite with one of them, then de- vour him, and the others ‘ in
Boll: Arab Federations Have Goodwill Of Cdncidci
External Affairs Minister Sid- ney Smith said the Egypt-Syria union must be viewed as the logical development of two “sig- nificant and powerful trends” in the area. ‘
These are a surge of newly- awakened nationalism throughout the Arab region, and a desire there for “non - alignment” with either of the two ideological camps dividing the world. In the Middle East “.non - alignment is called “positive neutrality.”
“The sudden union of“ Egypt’ and Syria may be a step towards that wider Aarab unity which ha.s long been the goal of Arab na- tionalists,” Mr. Smith said two days before the Iraq-Jordan fed- eration was announced. ‘
“We have no way as yet of judging how‘ the new union will develop, or how far it may ul- timately extend; but the tide of history is running fast in all these counitrties. and it would be unwise, I think, to adopt hasty attitudes with respect to a development which may in fact represent the pattern of the future.”
ULTIMATE FUSION SOON
In Ottawa, where such world events are viewed in the light of Canada’s success in welding a na- tion from culturally - divergent elements, the balance of factors in the Arab world is seen as fav. oring ultimate fusion, given time and patience. ‘ “~
It would be wrong, so goes the reasoning, to take a course to- wards either the new republic or the new monarchical federation that risked thwarting or frustrati- iug what might‘ be. a legitimate and logical development.
“Positive neutrality," if backed by social-, political and economic changes, could defuse a powder- keg between bothmajor camps. , However, two formidable booby - traps remain. They are the Arab states’ ultimate attitude toward Israel, which they virtu- _a11y envelop, and toward France, whose policies in Tunisia and Al-
turn.’ ’
By FORBES RHUDE , Canadian Press Business Editor
E. C. Gill, president of Canada Life Assurance Company, speak- ing at the recent annual meeting, , peated some comment which he had made at the annual meet- ing two years ago. The comments were:-
“The world appears to have en- tered upon a new era of expan- sion, the impetus for which will be provided by the concurrent de- velopment) of three tremendously powerful social forces:
“First, the upward surge in population; second, the universal social revolution directed toward raising the standard of living of ‘the people in all countries; and, third, unparalleled advances in scientific discovery which, ap- plied .to industry, are speeding up and changing techniques and raising productivity.
“Singly, each of these forces would be powerful in itself in combination they should assure World prosperity for a long time. There should be a steady succes- sion of yearly gains with here and there a pause or a slight decline which will soon besubmerged by a bigger gain.”
FACTORS STILL HOLD Though these remarks by Mr.
Gill were made at the start of two years of superficially differ-
‘ent outlooks, the factors behind
his prediction “new era of expan- sion” are just as true at the be- ginning of recession-tinted 1958 as at the beginning of prosperity- hued 1956.
The upward surge in popula- tion continues the universal so- cial revolution goes on; and the pace of scientific discovery needs

no reminder. _ :-
It is pretty hard to add such things up and get economic dol- drums as an answer, unless
‘flat on their collective faces.‘
At the same time, as Mr. Gill goes on to remind us, some thought and wise decisions are called for.
After repeating his comments of two years ago, he added:
“We stand at one of the pauses, or declines, today. We should not expect the renewal of upward trends to come automatically or easily. There are difficult decis- ions to be reached and there are many adjustments to be ef- fected.
OPTIMISM COULD MISLEAD “In the circumstances, an atti- tude of easy optimism could tend to hide the need for making these correction-s. t “However, if thrifty and hard- working people everywhere—bus- inessmen in particulz-ir-go about their normal affairs with un-
people, everywhere suddenly fall.

Hit Bottom In Steel Ojufputp
CLEVELAND (AP) — The bot- tom of the current decline in steel production was reached with a‘ one-point drop last week to 52.5 per cent of capacity, Steel ‘ma-ga. zine says. ' , “Some slight improv ment; noted in orders for deli ery next month," the Weekly journal of metalworking reponts._ '
“Al gradual upturn will start in March because of seasonal im- provements in the big steel con- ‘suming ‘iudustries—such as con.
broken’ confidence in their coun- try’s destiny, and if governments plan wise spending policies for defense and’ development, the ne- cessary ‘short-term adjustments should be completed without, un- due hardship and the climbto new economic peaks should shortly be resumed.
“If we keep the facts of the basic strength of the free world’s position in proper focus and per- spective, and deal with problems
vanced, commence to climb once more toward new and greater heights.”

Last week's output of 1,420,000 net tons of steel for ingots and castings compared with 2,504,000 tons a year ago. Steelmakers “have few illusions about recoup- ing production lost during the first two inonths.”
As a result, it was “conceded” that forecasts made in December that 111,000,000 tons of steel
