Natural Resources

A Canadian economist, Mr. Gilbert Jackson, speaking to a service club at Ed- monton, has provided a salutary reminder for Canadians. He says that at the present rate of demand for Canadian raw materials this country may find itself runhing short of resources in 25 or 30 years. The boom

dian natural resources should not blind us to the fact that these resources have limits. Mr. Jackson points to the possibility of a greatly increased demand in the U. S. for materials due to shortage of ne ed basic resources. American consumption of goods and services could be 40 per cent greater in the next 10 years, and possibly five times greater by the end of the century.

The American people are looking for alternative sources of supply, he adds, and Canada is the nearest with a huge supply of timber, iron ore, oil, and several main basic metals, as well as water power and other resources. Obviously we cannot sit on this potential wealth, like an anxious hroody hen on a china egg. These re- sources aie badly needed, and we must share them. But we do not need to squan- der them as they have done in the U. S. Our heritage of natural resources, as Mr. Jackson suggests, could be quickly squan- dered if we fail to adopt intelligent, long- range policies for their use and conserva- tion. '

A good example of intelligent foresight may be seen in the work of the Alberta Resources Conservation Board, and in steps that have been taken in B. C. to use timber resources on a self-perpetuating basis. These measures, notes the Vancouyer Prov- ince, are new. There is much room for improvement in the procedures adopted, but this will come with experience. But Canada is at an important stage of develop- ment. For one thing there is great need for more accurate inventories of our re- sources of timber, metals, water and S0115 that provide the base for our future growth.

"We should be doing a lot more re- search and thinking, too, about what new industries we can develop here in Canada to process our raw materials, rather than thinking in terms of selling only raw ma- -terials to other countries," says the Prov- ince. ”Better to start our national book- "keeping now, while our assets are still here, than to emulate our neighbors to the south an start worrying about them only after th , have become dangerously depleted, asp is indicated in the recent President's Water' Report. and the Paley Report on U. S. Natural Resources."

now underway in development of Cana- -

present huge exports it must import on is similar scale.

In the next six months these will not be abstract questions. United States tariff policy will come before the new Congress when it is asked-as undoubtedly General Eisenhower will ask it--to renew the recip- rocal trade agreements legislation for an- other term of years. At that point it his to be expected that the enemies of this leg- islation, and of the Geneva system largely based upon it, will come out into the open. The legislation, though not the agreements entered into under it, will expire next June, unless renewed. Such an expiry would mean that no further agreements could be entered into. The existing agreements, however, would continue in force until de- nounced (as provided for in the articles) by either party to them. It is thus clear that a vital test ofpthe new Administration's trade policy, and of its strength in the leg- islature, looms not fan ahead..

Persistent reports from Ottawa on the possibility of a Spring election indicate that there are some would-be strategists who weigh a coronation very lightly com- pared with a budget as a matter of public

Sir Alexander Cadogan, British states- man, was born this date 1884. When Mr. Anthony Eden flew home from the Quebec Conference in 1943 he left Sir Alexander with Prime Minister Churchill as adviser on foreign affairs. He was a member of the Security Council of the United Nations until 1950. Within a period of a year he received a Suez Canal directorship, an O.M. and the chairmanship of the BBC board of governors.

Prospects are bright for Charlottetown to have the airport developed to handle large planes. The City did not ask, how- ever, to become the operator and the Min- ister of Transport certainly attached no such condition when he went into the mat- ter with .City and Provincial authorities. What is fully expected is that the City will provide any necessary additional land and that the Department will remain respons-

ible for operation. I

Writing in the London Observer, Mr. Chester Wilmot, noted historian of World War II, has this to say about the Cana- dian troops in Germany: "Lord Alexander told me last week that he regards the Rhine Army as the finest army Britain has ever had in peace-time' and he spoke with the same enthusiasm of the R. A. F. squadrons which provide the main strength of the 2nd Allied Tactical Air Force. The most encouraging development of the past year has been not the expansion of British

strength - though this has been consid- erable, especiallygin the case of the R.A.F. - but its reiiaforcement by Belgian, Cana- dian, and Du ch contingents. The Cana- dian Brigade Group, though formed only

So far as Canada is concerned, notes the Winnipeg Free Press, the great imponder- able of the new regime in Washington is the future of the United States' trade pol- icy. A Republican Administration has been elected and, since 1920, the Republican Party has rightly been regarded as the ad- vocate of protectionism, though previous to that time it had favored a reduction in tariffs, President Taft having negotiated the. reciprocity agreement with Canada in 1911. Of. late years the Republican Party has learned the folly of the Fordney-Mc- -Cumber and Smoot-I-iawley tariffs, which devastated the world's trade and of them- selves were a major cause of the great de- - pression. Nevertheless, the old-fashioned protectionism still remaining in the Con- gress is concentrated in the Republican Party. -

Some of its most powerful leaders, like Senator Taft, have always attempted to Whittle down if not to destroy the recip- rocal trade agreements legislation, by which the Democratic Administration re- duced the tariff to the lowest level of mod- ern times. Mr. Taft and his friends were "the authors of therecent dairy import re- . strictions which clearly violate the letter and spirit of the Geneva trade agreements

Skyelhopes to receive a record number of overseas visitors during next year's "Skye Week”. On the suggestion of the Scottish Tourist Board, the Skye Council of Social Service have decided to hold the "week" before the coronation, the dates being from May 22 to 29. This will allow tourists to spend some of their time be- fore the coronation in visiting the island. The final programme of festivities will not be completed for a few weeks, but it is certain that there will be another MacLeo(i Rally at Dunvegan Castle on May 26, when Flora, Mrs. MacLeod of MacLeod. the chief, will be at home to members of her clan. Mrs. MacLeod is at present touring Can- ada,and the United States and has invited those of her clansmen who will be coming to Britain for the coronation to go to Skye.

In 1951, about 195,000 immigrants came to Canada-the largest number for any year since 1913 when 500,000 were admit- ted. In the first nine months of this year, arrivals from Britain totalledi32,781, an in- crease of 49 per cent over the 21,935 for the corresponding period of 1951.

This column in open to the discussion by ooi-rolpmldal"-' of questions of interest. The Guardian does not necessar- lly endorse tho opinion of uu respondents.

anroacina ISLAND CLAIM!

sir,-Premier Jonea' address to the Empire Club of Canada at T0- ronto last week from which de- serves careful study on the part of all Prince Edward Islanders.

Liberals and Conservatives alike should commend our outspoken Premier on his masterly presenta- tion of our grievances against the central government.

However, with regard to his pre- diction, that Islanders would sup- port another party if it would re- cognize our right, I think this question, why another party?, na- turally arises.

The writer would like to see Premier Jones publish a state- ment to the effect that. 11. below the next election, the Liberal party fails to recognize our Just claims he would be willing to use all his influence to help elect the Conservative party. provided that the Conservatives were prepared to see that right was done. I believe that such a statement would be sufficient inducement to secure the support of the Con- servative pa.rt.,v. and the Liberal party would then be forced into similar action so that the Pro- vince would stand to gain no mat- ter which way the election went.

By such I. manoeuver the Pre- mier would, of course, incur the

displeasure of Ottawa. and doubt-.

less prejudice his chances for a seat in the Senate. On the other hand he would have the gratitude of his fellow Islanders and the self satisfaction of knowing that he had done more for his native province than all the senators and representatives who have served us since Confederation.” To secure I. satisfactory settle- ment. for our age old problems I believe Premier Jones would glad- ly forego a seat. in the Red Cham- bet.

poet of the 19th century in the sense that more than any of his contemporariu he penetrated the problems and interpreted the un- der currents of that era. He had none of the rev lutlonary chu- ncterlsblcs of B on and is doubtful if he moved the average reader of poetry to the same ex- tent as did Shelley but he who more respected than either of them There is an earnestness of pur- pose in his writings which it is

perhaps not even duplicated, by any poet before or since.

In I-very unique sense he took the hopes, fears and aspirations of the society in which he lived and made them living tissues of common life. It was an age in which faith was struggling to re- tain its hold on men's souls through all the pressure "of growing scien- tific knowledge and in which the best religious and philosophic thought was occupied in trying to strike a. working balance between the old and the new.

with respect to England it was u. time of awareness of great Im- portal responsibility. The essen- tial question was whether Eng- land's might would be used for national aggrandizement or world freedom. Tennyson's poetry is full of hope that the English people could and would justify their status and burderi of Empire.

much in in own way, "In Mem- oriam" and ”Idyils of the King" takes up into itself all the deep undiercurrcnto of the time, es- pecially as they concerned the English scene, and makes them significant and practical living forces.

,Tennyson's passion for democ- racy is well known, but the ponti- cal ideal he cherished in his heart had little in common with the dcmogogery that passes for do- mocrlcy in many quarters to- day.

"But pamper not A hasty time Nor feed with crude imagininu The crowd. wild hearts and fee- blc wings

I-Ii: firlt. thought was for an enlightened people who would prove themselves worthy of self government. And, although he hoped that knowledge would.be,- coma more "and more widespread as the political responsibilities of the people grew, his chief hope was that learning would always be an ally of faith. To him the possibility that simple trust ui science might. supplant the old faiths of the people was utterly distasteful and full of national danger.

"Let knowledge circle with the

W I But let her herald, Reverence, fly Before her to whatever sky . Bear seed of men and growth of minds".

But Tenny.-.on's chief contri- bution to the literature of his time-and of our time, too-was the perfection of form in which this work and thought were wrap- ped. He was, and is, an inspira- tion to all those who reach out

Keats died in early innnhm but he left an influence of tin world of poetry that only mg genius could have provided. 11. was the least scholarly and per. haps the least sophisticated of all the Romanticlsts. Hi: lack of fol. miil scholarship. however, did not keep him from deep penetration into iancieiit. mythology, so much so that one biographer said of his poetry: "Perhaps there is no other instance on record of so profound o. knowledge of old Greek lite and manners".

I-its principal foi-to was an in. unto sense of artistic beauty and he saw it in every animate ind inanimate thing. But beauty to Keats was not a passing aitm. tioii whether it. appeared in I little child whom he had lieirr seen or in 3 nightingale which made him wish that he might "leave the world unseen and with thee fade away into the forest dim". It was rather an eternal value linked with truth itself. "Beauty is truth. truth beauty. That is All ya know on earth and all ya need to .kn'qw".

Keat's political opinions, it he had any at all, were probably of the liberal school but there is not the slightest trace of them in any of his poems. Unlike By- ron, hoihad no interest in break. ing down anything and, unlike Shelley, he took no particular in- terror. in the building of a be:- ter; social order.
