Understandable. Anxiety

The Japanese are unlikely to get very fair-in their efforts to persuade the British (lovernmcnt to cancel impending atomic lcsts on (lliristnias island in the Pacific. Fotpof course, i as long as no international agrce- I mciit in these matters can be reacli- l ctl-- and there is no sign of it at the present lllllt"---lll(ll'9 is nothing the F-rilisli can do except try and hold their own in atomic development. It is. iicvci-tliclcss, an unfortunate situ- allon. anti it is impossible not to synipalliize witii the Japanese people in their terror of these fiendish de- v-tt-ns: tor that is what they are anti will rt-miiiii until such time as all the nations see fit to direct them to ;w.irct'1il purposes exclusively: and that day. from alt accounts. is far in the distance. Even then, on the liiisis of what is known now, there

will he no guarantee that the newly discovered power will not make the huiiinn race helpless before it. This is clear from the interim report of an international group of scientists which says that "all man-made radi- ation has to be regarded as harmful to men from the genetic point of View."

(if all these peoples of the world only the Japanese have suffered directly from atomic assault. The fact that that assault was of a rela- tively trival strength compared with what would happen if atomic war were to break out in the future does not lessen their anxiety over the tests which are now impending. Not- withstanding all that science has been able to do to ease their suffer- ings in the intervening period. thou- sanriti"of Japanese who were in the areas hit by atomic bombs in 1945 still carry in their bodies and in their minds the harsh marks of un- speakable terror.

No doubt, the British will see to it that the hazards in the forthcom- ing tests are kept to the lowest pos- sible level. But that is of little com- fort to the Japanese, especially in view of accumulating evidence that all such tests pread I certain amount of destructive radiation. no matter what safeguards are estab- lished in the process.

Spring's Battalions

More like I flood of life than 8 season, spring is building up to trans- form the Northern Hemisphere. It will pour north at an average of 15 miles a day, running first through the valleys, rising to cover hills and mountains. with it come the birds. Insects are called out of their win- tering places. Some impatient plants tlirust themselves through still-frozen soil to greet it. The National (leo- grapliic Society reports that spring officially begins this year at 4:17 p.m., March 20-the vernal equinox. The noontime sun passes directly above the equator: day and night are equal the world over. Then, as the tilted earth continues its swing around the sun. the light will fall more and more on the northern

areas, giving longer and warmer dlys. But nature's resurrection does t

not wait for any given signal. It can vary as much as I month from year to year.

Spring calls up a rising tide in the plant world. Sap. the trecs' blood. is pushed to the topmost twig. Engi- neers have found that the tomato plant. as 11 lmv-growing example, can iltenerate I pressure of 100 pounds per square inch in its up veins. Certain plants migrate u the birth do. finding warmer homes in winter, coming back in the spring. The duck- weed. bits of green that diingle tiny rootlets in ponds, each Iutumn takes at I foi'm known II "winter buds." . 'l1ieIe ll! holvlly hthn with IiIn:h

tiuckweeds arrives on the surface. As the plants glow. and leaves and flowers burst their buds, insects hatch and emerge from their hiding places. Earthworm: come from be- low the frost line and begin their tireless burrowing through the top- soil. llibernating animals such as the groundhog make their reappear- ance, and even eels in the distant sea respond.

llatched in mid-ocean, baby eels will soon begin their assault on the streams of the East Coast. Countless thousands, running the gantlet cf water birds, fish and adult eels. will work their wdy up rivers. creeks and brooks. to find fresh-water homes. After eight years or so, the survivors of this horde will return to the ocean to lay eggs. And two years later their descendants will again swim upstream in spring.

Re-Seecling Depleted Beds

.-is announced recently at Ottawa. 1,000 barrels of disease-lrce Prince Edward island oysters will be trans- planted to the Sliippigan area of New Brunswick. and Titlll barrels to the Malagash-Wallace area lil Nova Scotia, as an experiment in reliabil- itation of the oyster industry in the neighboring provinces. This is quite a tribute to the quality of our island mollusks. and there will be wide- spread interest in the result. The Dominion Department of Fislicries, which has undertaken the project, is planning a three-year reliabilita- tion program. The need for re-seed- ing the heavily depleted areas in the Northumberland Strait waters as well as in Miraniichi and Chaleur bays has been stressed for some time, because the harvests from these waters had slumped greatly

experts have estimated that 00 per cent of the oyster stocks in the af- fected waters have been destroyed by natural mortalities over that com- paratively short period of 1933 and 1936.

The biologists found the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia oyster grounds had been swept by a disease similar to that which all but mined the long-famed beds in Prince Ed- ward lsland between 33 and 40 years ago. So it is from the Island's now prolific producing waters that dis- ease-resistant bivalves will be trans- planted to bring about the reliabil- itation of the depleted oyster fishing grounds of the mainland provinces.

"There seems no doubt," says the Moncton Transcript, "but that the method of rehabilitation will prove equally as successful in the present instances as was the case in restor- ing the Prince Edward Island beds some years ago. It will, of course, take several years before the pro- cess shall have completely eradicated the disease which has been depicting the oysters." In all. the plan will see 10,000 barrels of P.E.I. disease-re sistant bivalves planted in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia fishing grounds over the ensuing three years, with the 1957 transplant totalling 1,500 barrels to be made in May and June.

It has been revealed that there are six times as many Scotsmen abroad as there are in Scotland. Yes. and most of them would say that it is to that little statistical fact that the world owes whatever sanity it possesses in these strife- ridticn days.

THE AIM OF "LIBERAL" ' EDUCATION

sir, - I believe that nearly Ill of us both as parents Ind IS

citizens are naturally concerned with the iiiiportanl matter of moulding iiw-livitiual character Ind of shaping the pattern for tho whole life of our society.

But. do we as parents and citizens know what we mean when we speak of education? is it some- thing we rciilly want? And have we a Sp('l'l:ll fcspllnlilblllly for giving a lead in education?

in the Il('lfl of education we must first of all realize mIn'I true nature and the end for which man was crt-an-it. By keeping this all important uoal continually in mind. we sll.'ill educate our Child-

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION

By-Election Repercussions

From London, England Bureau of Thomson Newspapers

We are having I little general election here at the moment - at least. that is how the main par- ties are regarding the liustlings of the past few weeks. Most jubilant observer-is the ()ppoiiil.ian Leader,

able to use intelligently the leisure time made available to-day by Industry. as Industry in our day makes I liberal education possible for everybody. Thus liberal educa- tion makes up for the deficiencies in the formal education of the individual. But when formal edu- cation in vocational. adult educa- tion in vocational, too. However, where schooling is liberal. adult education is likewise liberal.

Education should be unending. The man who stops learning II In good as dead. A man cannot de- velop hls higher powers once and for nil in his youth. lie has to keep on using them. Hence liberal education is for all the people all their lives. it was once the edu- cation for the few.

In this letter, if is not suggested that all the people must. become great philosophers. historians. scientists, or artists. But it is im- portant that they should know how to read. write, and figure and should try to understand the great philosophers, historians. Icientisln and artists of Ill Iges.

if this is unattainable. then we should abandon unlveriial suffrage. People cannot solve problems un- less they can learn to think for themselves about the fundamental issues of life in organized society. The alternatives. therefore. are democrncy with liberal education for all. or Irllfoeracy with educa- tion for the few.

Politics teaches us that we are heIdtng for unification of the world--. but, will this unification bI Ichicved by conqucu or by COIICIII?

We must remember that the llberal IrtI are the arts of com- munication. thIl is. that these grut productions of the human mind Ira the common herilngc of III mankind. Hence. we need I typo of education that will bring out our common liunianlty-rather than one in which lo indulge our individuality.

Thus. in I modern industrial and Icientiflc democracy every parent Ind citizen ms the usponnibilily of I ruler Ind has the leisure to mnke the most of himself. in I word. the aim of a liberal educI- tion is wisdom.

I by- election proved I swing Igninst the present Government - I 22.- 000 majority went down. to 14.000. MEMORY SHARP

From these resultii it is obvious

that the public's memories. con- 1

trary to the views some cynlcl take, is still sharp. it is too grand-

'iose to say that Eden's govern-

menl. nearly committed HIri-kIri when the Suez business blew up, but it was only when the boys got

Since then the public hII Iwung around to the general view of things - that Britain shouldered a job which U.N. should liIve done and are only now, months lIler,.. doing.

But the effects of the Suez Ire still felt. And the dissIt.lsfIctlon is being reflected by the lnteiit by- elecllnn results. True. out of five recent by-elections the Opposition has only Rained two seats - but in each of the other cases the Gov- ernment's majority has been whit- tied.
