Trade Board Meetings

Of exceptional interest this year is the annual meeting of the Mari- time Provinces Board of Trade which takes place in Charlottetown on Mon- day and Tuesday of next week. The gathering will coincide with the an- nual meeting of the Charlottetown Board which will play host to the large number of delegates in atten- dance. On Monday Mr. Gordon Col- pitts, production advisor for Imperial Oil, Toronto, will speak on oil explor- ations in the Atlantic Provinces and in the evening there will be an ad- dress by Mr. RC.‘ Pybus, national president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. On Tuesday a panel discussion by the four Resources Min- isters of the Atlantic Provinces should be of particular value and in- terest. Mr. B.V. Gqnder, C.N.R. vice president and general managerfor the Atlantic Region, will address the luncheon meeting and at the business session in the afternoon an import- ant report by Dr. Frank MacKinnon, president of the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council will be‘ presented.

New life is surging through this part of Canada as a result of APEC activities, an organization which like the Maritime Transportation Com- I mission, was «fathered by tho Mari- time Board of Trade and still owes much of its support to Board activi- ties. The nioverin-nt has created nat- ional interest in our economic ; pro- bloms, and‘, -better still, has given able‘ leadership‘ in attacking these problems in a practical way.

A hearty welcome awaits the Board members in Charlottetown on this occasion. Their agenda is a crowded one, but there will be social‘ameni- ties as ‘well business sessions and their visit will, it is hoped, prove en- joyable as well as profitable.

Confusing Arab Mergers Map makers» and flag experts have 1 hard timekeeping up with . the Arab mergers in the Near East. The reasons for this are set forth by the National Geographic Society

in a bulletin from which -we quote.

Early in February, the United Arab Republic was born of union between Egypt and Syria. A little later the kingdoms of Iraqand Jor- dan formed the Arab Federation. Then came the United Arab. States,« a. combination of the Yemen monarchy with Egypt's‘ and Syria’s_ United Arab Republic. The new UAR flag, recently introduced at its Washing- ton Embassy, has horizontal red, white, and black stripes, with two green stars -in the white stripe. The Arab Federation's emblem is of black, white, and green stripes, with V a red triangle extending from the poleside. So far no flag is reported for the United Arab States, but the design is expected to be elastic enough to cover hoped-for affiliates.

The “joiner" movement in the Near East goes back to the old dream of an Arab bloc that would reach from the northwest shoulder of Africa to the Persian Gulf. Inten- sified by the establishment of Israel and by international rivalries in the area, the ambition is rooted in com- mon factors of religion, language, and tradition. But though their peoples are overwhelmingly Moslem, they follow dozens of sects with op-

, posing beliefs and customs. Lebanon,

where roughly half the people are Christians, is an exception to the Moslem pattern’. 'At the beginning of World War I, there were no independent Arab states. Most of this part of the world was then, as it had been for cen- turiesgundcr nominal or actual con- trol of the Ottoman Turks. With the defeat of Turkey and substitution of various forms of Allied domination, r'irs'mg Arab nationalism gradually bmllfilil, into being a dozen sovereign nations. The economic, cultural, and political patterns of each reflect dif- feront brands of European influence_ An ext-option is Yemen. wlnch until lat,cI_\; Ilas managed to live in xirlual isolation. 1 The Egypt-Syria union now transforms two states into one, under Egypt’s President Nasser. The

nu

Eiyrian portion of me: next.’ El‘lI‘lI',}7 was once a Frencli rruaudaie; the Egypt- iau, a British protectorate. Yemen adds still a third element witliin the loose alliance called the United Arab Slates. The Yemeni king, who re- tains full control of his feudal coun- try, is one of the world's few remain- ing absolute monarchs.

Physically, the members of the United Arab States are far apart. Egypt is nearly three times the size of Syria and Yemen together. There are nearly 24 million Egyptians; about 9 million people in Syria and Yemen. In the rival Arab Federation, Iraq and Jordan have closer geogra- phic and historic ties. Their borders adjoin; their kings are cousins. But Iraq is many times larger and more populous than Jordan. It is one of the world’s leading oil producers; Jordan is still a “have not.”

Despite all the differences, how- ever, the Arab amalgamations are unifying customs, military forces, and foreign policies. They also hold the strategic key to oil transport from Near East fields to the Medi- terranean by way of EgYDt’S Suez Canal or by pipelines across Arab territories. I

A Shocking Act

Canada is joining with other free nations in protesting, as a shocking and revolting thing, the execution of former Premier Imre Nagy of Hun- gary and several of his friends. “Mur- . der” would be a. better word; for these men's only crime was that they encouraged their fellow-citizens to throw off the foreign yoke and reas- sert their freedom. Their killers can- not even plead that they were anti- Communists. »

This, surely, gives the lie of the alleged repudiation by the present rulers of Russia-—for, of course,‘the present Hungarian Government is a ,

‘mere puppet of ,Moscow—of the cruel

methods used by Stalin. Indeed, noth- ing that Stalin ever did was more cruel or more callous than this‘. Even his most violent acts of 3 persecution and terror were directed against men, who, he had reason to believe, were plotting his downfall. In this case, there was no plotting against Khrush- chev, no threat to th. security of either Hungary or Russia, nothing but the desires for simple freedom. If members of Communist organi- zations in order. countries are not‘ disillusioned by this latest outrage

of‘-’~Communistic gpower, “then they . _._

have lost all sense of decency, and ‘ common justice. And those non-Com- munists who still persist in the no- tion that Communism is simply sno- ther political belief, with the legiti- mate right of propagation, are stupid as well as inteilectuallyblind to the fearful character of the evil power tihat is‘ threatening mankind.

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION

By

LOl‘lDON—Internal:ional events have crowded the bus, dock workers and Smithfield meat market strikes right off the front pages of British newspapers. Top of the list in news importance at the l'!'l-1."nel'l:t of writing is the r e n e w a l of errorlsm‘ in

w h a t h a 3 created e v e n more critl c a 1 comment is the - fact that the - Archbi-shop of Canterbury has exte n d e d_ an invita t i 0 n to Archbishop Ma- .— w .. karios, leader MR. HOOD

of the Cyprus insurgents, to Visit

5 London and attend the Lambeth

Conference which opens June 27. Makarios has accepted the in- vitation, subject to the qualifi- cation “If I am not prevented by any obstacle". _

This has thrown the fat in

the fire with a vengeance. Two

applications have been made to the .-ou-1-is demanding that, if Malta-rlos sets foot in Britain, he be arrested and tried on charges

British soldiers and officials in Cyprus

The government is in t-~,_tough' spot. As a British subject, Arch- bishop 1Vi,‘8kB11‘l0S holds a British passport. So, unless circumstan- ces justify his exclusion, he has every right to visit Britain; His

British government the other day, however, has stirred up members of palrliam nt to ask questions about whet er or not he should be allowed to come to Britain. The nation is waiting with some anxiety for Prime Minister Macmlllan's announce- ment of the latest plan to solve the Cyprus problem. But even more important. at the moment is the impending visit of Maka- rios. It could, if allowed, stir up 1 great deal of trouble for the

‘goveIrriment—-and for the Arch- . bishop. -

LAST RATIONING ENDS

Next month, the British go- vernment will remove the last of its rationing from the backs of the British people. Announce- ment that coal rationing, which

‘ has been in effect for the last

19 years, since the outbreak’ of the Second World War. will be

. abolished on July 15 has been

received with almost rejoicing from the man in the street. Thus ends‘ the last of the many

economic controls Imposed be- cause of the U-boat threat 1939. This means many things.‘ It re-introduces the element of competition into the coal dis- tribution business. It frees the home occupier from the shackles of being tied to one coal dealer. He can now pick and choose with complete freedom. He will not have to register with a single distributor, and be at the mercy of that individual. If he is not satisfied with the service he is receiving. he can change his dealer at will. = Abolition of coal/ rationing has been made possible because, for the first time since 1939. stocks of large coal are estimated at one million tons above estimated requirements. There is only one fly in the ointment. Coal prices are to be somewhat higher, be-

certain once the control are lifted. But there is hope that as the situation levels off, the ele- ment of competition may bring prices down; to lower levels.

In any event. the people of Britain are rejoicing in the re- moval of the last of their ration- ing, restrictions.

AUTO INDUSTRY HAPPY

The British automobile indus- try is happy about the increase of its exports to Canada. Pros- pects are that British car sales in Canada will hit an all time peak in 1958. It is anticipated that about 40,000 British ‘cars

the end of the year bringing about $46,000,000 to Britain. This would be double the exports of 1957

There is. however. a slight cloud on the horizon. British car are concerned

Volkswagen in their market in Canada Last year, Germany exported 24,319 cars to Canada as compared with 8,000 in 1956.

Germany might. well outsell Bri- taim in the Oanradian automobile.

market NEWS BY TELEPHONE Britain is going continental

with the inauguration of a news service by telephone‘ for visitors to this country. This service. in- augurated recently by thc post office department, makes it pos-

obtain information about im- portant events of the day simply by dialing a specified telephone number. The service is available in nglish, French and German. We her forecasts are included in the French and German an-

‘WOOL MEN WORRIED

nouncements. For Englis’h-srpeak- lug inouirers. however, the nor- mal .eleDhone weather service will be available. Anyone can secure the weather forecasts simply by dialing WEA 2211. Such a service has long been provided in several European countries.

During the recent test cricket match between England and New Zealand, the post office de- partment provided I telephone bulletin on the scores. Anyone interested simply had to dial UMP 221 to learn of the progress of the match. News- papers welcomed this innova- tion. It made it unnecessary for their sports departments to ans- wer a flood of telephone calls asking for the scores.

Scottish and Yorkshire woolen manufacturers are surprised and disappointed at the Canadian Government’s decision to impose higher duties on w len goods imported from Bri in. Their surprise is intensified because no similar recommendation has been made concerning the tariffs on woolens from countries like Italy and Japan. They see the step as a hen blow to the in- dustrv here. .31 eady faced with a tariff quote in the United States, ’

Concern is heightened by the fact that in the first four month! of this year, Scottish woolen ex- ports to Canada were about half what ‘hey ‘were for the same period in 1957.

CANADIAN PLAY SCORES

A play with a distinctly Cana- dian flavor has won acclaim on its first night at the Duchess ’l‘heatt'e The play is “The Velvet Shotgun" written by 30-year old Canadian playwright. Christopher Taylor. _ _

To add to the Canadian flavor, the heroine of it is a Toronto girl, who. as the result of A madcap adventure in Paris. finds herself in ,s basement flat in Knightsbridge waiting the arrival of a child. In her dilemma, she explores the a1ternatlves—adop- tion of the child, marriage to its father. a distraught English- man, who does not. really appeal to her, or marriage to 2 Cam. dian who is in love with her, despite her problem. Christopher Taylor works the whole thing out-to an eminently satisfactory conclusion.

Of special Interest is the" fact‘ that the role of the Toronto girl is played by a young actress, Sarah Marshall.’ Hen‘ perform- ance has been rated tops by the reviewers. That is not sur- prising. She is the daughter of the famous team of Herbert Mar- shall and Edna Best, who back in the thirties were at the hey- day of their careers on the stage and in films. Canadians will remember them as the stars of the famous Noel Coward film, “oavalr.-.a~de”. ‘

THE ACADIANS OF_ P.E.I.

(Continued from yesterday) On the fifth day_ocf February, 1752, under orders from le Comte de -Raymond, governor of Louis- burg. Joseph de la Roque, the Kings surveyor, began a tour of inspection of Isle Royale (Cape

..Breton) and Isle Saint-Jean. He

visited all the inhabited places on both islands and made a most accurate census of the inhabi- tants. The census of Isle Saint Jean is a trustworthy account of the population between the first rush of immigr-ants after the

the second lnrflux due to the fall of Bea-usejourr and the Expulsion of 1755. De la Roquc did his work exceeding well. He enum- erated ’nhe' settlers name by name, men and women and children, their ages and professions, the

had in cultivation, the number of the cattle, fowls, etc. He also noted the character of each per- son; in a word, de la Roque’s ac- count constitutes one of the best official documents of the French period in Isle Saint-Jean. BEGINS CENSUS

After completing the \*i,<it of all the settlements in Isle Royals. de la Roque arrived at port Lajoje
