_Mr. Macquarrie’s Report

- In September, 1958, Canada took the initiative in proposing a far- reaching program of Commonwealth ¢o-operation in the field of education through scholarships, training and supply of teachers, and in the ex- change of technical and educational knowledge. Last summer at Oxford a Commonwealth Educational Con- ference was held to give concrete form to these ideas. The whole pro- gram has been very ably reviewed at the United Nations Assembly by Mr. Heath Macquarrie, MP, who as a Canadian delegate at the Assembly is chairman of the U.N. Trusteeship Council.

— _At present, Mr. Macquarrie ex-

plained, foreign students studying

in Canadian universities comprise 5.9 per cent of the total enrollment in our higher educational institutions. Their number now amounts to 4,792— ‘an increase of about 50 per cent as compared with the figures for 1951- 62. Africa last year contributed near-

ly 200 students; the West Indies and

surrounding region furnished a still greater number. 976 came from Asia east of Afghanistan, 546 from Hong Kong, 17 from Ceylon, 152 from India,

* 49 from Indonesia, 52 from Pakistan,

11 from the Philippines, and 150 from Latin America.

_.. This, of course, is apart from the Commonwealth scholarship exchange

mainly needed is material aid. There are, however, two other widely separated groups who would migrate, preferably far away, if given a chance. These are 10,000 White Rus- sians in China, mostly farmers in the Shanghai area, and 130,000 still unsettled refugees in Western Europe. To Canadians their. story may be the most poignant of all because t are blood-brothers of some of us and hapless victims of a war we remember. Some of the worst off among ‘the Europeans are the 32,000 who have lived for 14 years, or been born, in wretched camps in Austria, West Germany, Italy and Greece.

One explicit aim of WRY is to burn down the European camps, wipe them off the face of the earth, by the end of 1960. Canadian cities across the land are “adopting” camps with the deliberate purpose of emptying ‘and destroying them. The cost will run from $40,000 to $400,000 and more, each city taking on a load suit-

_able to its size.

Since refugees, with neither votes nor money, cannot form pressure groups, helping them is always: an unforced, voluntary act of brotherly love and Christian mercy. Money gifts are asked for; and it’s possible for any Canadian individual, family or society, like a church group, to volunteer to bring refugees to this country—and look after them. For people so sponsored, Immigration Minister Fairclough. has announced the government will waive the usual rules restricting admission.

For its own part the government is bringing in 100 tubercular refugees and their families, possibly about 400 people in all. They are expected before Christmas. These TB. sufferers will be placed in vacant sanatoria beds throughout the country, and the dependents looked after until cures are effected and employment obtained.

- Common Market Partners

Ry Ed

Canadian Press Staff Writer

- The arrival in London of Pre- mier Antonio Segni and Foreign Minister Giuseppe Pella of Italy completes Britain's six - week round of talks with members of the European Common Market. . The discussions, which began

with a visit to Paris by Foreign

Secretary Selwyn Lloyd in mid- October and were carried on dur- ing Chancellor Adenauer’s visit | to Britg#in, were riot. deliberately |

Britain's chief_aims have been to convince the six common mar- ket partners that the new alli- ance wants to co-onerate with them rather than fight them and

to gain assurance that political |

outgrowths ofthe economic com- munity do not get out of hand. British spokesmen concede that

the Outer Seven is a second best

substitute for the European free- trade area they hoped to estab-

ereignty and unduly susceptible to the influence of the United

States. 4

But Britain has won a friend- lier response from de Gautie by urging that he bring purely con- | tinental problems to the Western European union, in which the six ; common market powers—France, | Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxem- bourg and The Netherlands— share membership with Britain.

Mr.’ Macquarrie stressed the point that these plans for scholar- ships and fellowships are of advant- age not only to the recipients but to Canadians as well, who benefit no less than the smaller and newer countries. His broad approach to the subject was received with applause, and the substance of his remarks has been given world distribution.

His reports to the As- sembly on education and other mat- ters—for there have been several— reflect credit upon us all; and to say that he should not be giving of his time and ability to these matters would be to take a very parochial attitude. We say this without pre- judice to our own prior claims upon his services, and as a tribute which it would be unfair to withhold at this time.

,. Refugee Appeal

Not enough has been heard of the fact that this is World Refugee Year (WRY)—so proclaimed by the United Nations in December, 1953. It runs from last June to June, 1960, and there are many reasons why it should be kept before the Canadian public.

These reasons are strikingly pre- sented in an article in the Nov. 28 issue of the Financial Post by Mr. J. B. MacGeachy. Incredible though it seems, there are nearly 40,000,000 people who might be termed refugees, but WRY’s business is with smaller concentrations of them in the Middle East, North Africa, Hong Kong, Western Europe and China. There is no question of overseas migration for the first three of these groups:

—1,000,000. Palestinian Arabs, mostly in Jordan and the Gaza strip, huddled on the borders of Israel and

re- , —180,000 Algerians in Tunisia

~ ‘ae . Battlefield Guide —

War veterans will be’ interested in-an unusual piece of travel litera- ture, entitled “Battlefield Guide Book.” Published to direct the tour conductors on the routes for three tours of Canadian battlefields in Europe, now being organized in Toronto, it is virtually an historical reference document.

The book is the work of Kim Beattie, author and war ‘historian; who plotted the routes. Each battle route begins where the first serious fighting occurred for the Canadians— the 2nd Battle of Ypres (World War 1), the beaches of Pachino, Sicily and Normandy landing for World War 11. In addition to battle positions are locations of the key billet-towns, villages, all the Canadian war mem- orials, and 187 war cemeteries. Per- haps even more unusual for travel literature, the spots where 79 Can- adians won the, Victoria Cross in the two wars are also Jocated.

The three battlefield tours, spon- sored by the Veterans Advocate, will take off from Toronto on March 1, opening day of direct Toronto-Europe operations by British Overseas Air- ways. They fly to London, then Paris, and return on March 31.

EDITORAL NOTES

Even Prime Ministers are subject to transportation inconveniences; and Mr. and Mrs. Diefenbaker were both caught, with hundreds of-. football fans and Conservative delegates, when a Sunday afternoon train from Toronto broke down. Without heat, its cars the frigid temperature of a

_ stormy winter night, the train finally

limped into Ottawa four hours late. How did the Prime Minister pass the

time and keep warm? He stayed in bed. , ; s * *

Outstanding among the tributes to Sir Winston Churchill on his 85th birthday was that paid by Lord Mor- rison of Lambeth, now 71, who rose from errand boy to be Britain’s Deputy Prime Minister. Sir Winston has not made a speech in the House of Commons since he ceased to be Prime Minister, and it is doubtful if he will attempt to do so. “Yet,” says Lord Morrison, “the House. knows how he feels. It sympathizes. And when‘ he slowly walks into the

Chamber, somehow the House takes |

as a compliment the very fact that he should be there. His very: pre- sente-adds to the self-esteem of the place. The MPs like him to be about. There would be a-hole in the place if he were not there.” That was hand- somely said,

The Soothsayer

Arthur Blakely in The Montreal Gazetie

The legend of William Lyon Mackenzie King, the mystic, is still a-growing.

Latest of a long series of con- tributors to the legend is Sena- tor Norman Lambert, an asso- ciate, friend and admirer of the former Liberal Prime Minister.

In the current issue of The Canadian Liberal, Senator Lam- bert advances the claim that Mr. King had a “‘premonition” of the outbreak of the Second World | War.

On the evening of August 8. 1939, Senator Lambert recalls, a complimentary dinner was heid in Toronto to mark the 20th anni- versary of King’s assumption of the leadership of the Liberal Party.

“On the morning of August 9,” | he writes, ‘following the din- | ner, I went with Mr. King to Aurora to visit \Sir William Mu- | lock, who had _ been unable | through an indisposition to attend the gathering of the previous eve- ning. On the way back to Tor- onto, the Prime Minister refer- red.— with some misgivings—to his speech, saying that he was afraid it had not been adequate or worthy of his anniversary.

SORT OF APOLOGY “Then, as a sort of apology for

party matters or to the pros- | t of an early election, he said: ‘I should like to tell you that last Friday, before coming to Toror- to, I wrote to Mr. Neville Cham- berlain, asking for his advice about the difficult international situation in Europe, and explain- ing my own political position in Canada where constitutional re- quirements would soon necessi- tate a general election. The last thing I should want,’ he add- ed, ‘would be a wartime election.’ “That,” Senator Lambert poirftts out, “‘was said on August 9, 1939. Before any response from Mr. “Chamberlain was possible, Hitler had invaded Po- land and Britain was plunged into war. Canada’s declaration of war was made on the floor of Parliament on September. 9. Mr. King’s premonition of trouble in Eurepe was all too well based’’. This is the evidence on which Senator Lambert relies in ad- vancing his claim that Mr. King already knew, in some mysteri- ous fashion, of the hoocaust that was to - begin a litile less than a month later,

LOGICAL CHOICE

It is entirely true, of course, that if the spirit world or any of its inhabitants had. decided to en- trust any statesman of the period with such a premonition, Mr. King would have been a logical choice. . As. one of his biographers has observed: ‘‘He believed implicit- ly in luck and propitiated it with comic zeal. The numeral seven,

he said, was favorable to his ea- terprises, He liked te launch

them on the seventh day of the month or in the seventh month of the year. If possible, he would

line. The Christian was filied with these pagan superstitions. In addition, he “took an inten- sive interest in the spirit world” as the same biographer has not-

‘ed, and made frequent attempts

to converse with relatives, friends and notables who had passed to the great beyond.

A number of mediums, in this country and abroad, assisted Mr. King in these endeavors. Mr.

| King himself believed firmly that they had been successful | that contact had been establish-

} of Government. There is als, however, some interesting evi- dence to the contrary,

A LONG BOW

But while there is little doubt } that Mr. King would have been | extremely receptive to any pre- monitions, presentiments or fore- warnings from whatever source, Lambert appears to be drawing an extremely long bow when he contends. as he does, that Mr. King had one on the

Senator

es which he describes.

While Mr. King was a spiritual- ist, he was also 22 astute end 0. u- dent politician. King’s statement that he would want no part of a wartime election would more iik- ely stem from a shrewd aad rea- sonable suspicion that war was a possibility that could not be vver- looked in August of 1939, rather than from any certain knowledze that the war was on the way and would start on such and such a date. While he was a mwvstic, he was certainly no stranger to or- | dinary common sense.

Africa’s Wild

life Remnants

National Geographic Society

Africa’s magnificent wildlife, the most varied array of animals ever to walk the earth, is rapidly disappearing.

African poachers use fire. pois- oned arrows, and wire snares to take a heavy toll of the dwindl- ing game herds. Tribesmen’s vast flocks of cattle, sheep, and goats

drive wild creatures away from |

waterholes and choice grazing areas.

About 90 per cent of Africa's original wildlife population has been exterminated by man’s ac- tivities. THe surviving animals

‘are making a last stand in the

national parks and_ reserves, where effective protection is of- ten lacking.

NUMBERED IN MILLIONS

Less than 50 years ago, wild animals of many species blacken- ed the plains of East Africa in countless millions. Primitive man, sparse in numbers, was merely another predator in_ nature's scheme.

The advent .of colonial rule up- set the balance. European sett- lers wiped out the game in large areas. The African ' population sky-rocketed as war, famine, dis- ease, and the slave trade were eliminated. Cattle epidemics were stamped out.

In dry East Africa, men and livestock have now multiplied be- yond the point at which the land can support them. Overgrazing by domestic animals is adding new wastes to the fringes of ‘the advancing Sahara. There is little room left for wildlife.

The Serengeti National Park in Tanganyika is Africa's last strong hoid of spectacular game herds. The sanctuary covers 5,000 square miles of forest, mountains, and vast golden plains. A few years

, ago, millions of wildebeest, ze- | bra, and anteclone grazed in the | park: today fewer than 400,000 remain.

| Recently, herdsmen of the | Masai tribe were allowed ‘to leave / worf-out adjacent land and graze their cattle in the park. In a short time, lush ‘grasslands were converted to an expanse of baked red earth. As forests were cut and burned. watersheds began to | dry up. Wild animals were driv- len from the eastern section of the Serengeti.

SYMBOL OF WEALTH

| . Africans seldom slaughter their | livestock. They regard cattle as | symbols of wealth, and gonsider the size of a herd more itmport- ant than its quality. Wildlife has | always been the traditional source of meat.

In Tanganyika, illegal poaching of game has become an indus- ‘try. Arrow poison and wire i spares are peddled from village to village. Dried meat, or bi!tong,
