CllAl.l.0'l”fl-:'l'0WN TUESDAY. JUNE 21. I950 Trouble In Korea

.The invasion of Southern Korea by Northern Korean Communists appears to have come like a bolt from the blue, and zonstitutes a direct challenge to the United Nations. The Council of the U. N. has acted promptly by ordering the aggressors to cease fire and withdraw their forces, also by calling upon all U. N. members to give every assistance to the resolution. Can- ada, though not represented on the Coun- eil, is among the 30-odd countries which nave recognized the republic of Korea, set up in the south following a popular vote supervised by U. N. observers. One thing evident is that the United Nations must be arepared to back up the Council's ruling by force of arms if necessary. otherwise it will ae as helpless as was the League of Na- tions in preventing Mussolini's acts of ag- gression in Abyssinia which paved the way for the catastrophe of World War Two.

There is little doubt but that the North Korean Communists are backed by Soviet Russia. The incident may well be a coun- termove against the reversal of the cur- rent American policy of withholding aid from the Communist-menaced island of Formosa which was presaged in word from Tokyo that General MacArthur and a U. S. State Department advisor, Mr. Dulles, "had agreed on the necessity of prompt help. Communist possession of either Korea or Formosa would create a threat to the Am- erican chain of defences in the Far East. Russian delegates ignored attending the U. N. Council meeting on Sunday at which the "cease fire" order was given, and the Yugo- slavia delegates abstained from voting. The seriousness of the situation was underlined by President Truman's hurried return to Washington Sunday night to confer with his top foreign-policy and military advisers. and by the fact that American women and children are being evacuated from South Korea.

calilegram Rates

.'Effective July 1st, reduced rates on radlograms and cablegrams to the United Kingdom and other overseas countries go into effect. The announced reductions benefit the Maritimes and Eastern Canada less than they do the West so far as trans- Atlantic rates are concerned and these, of course,. represent the greater volume of messages.

.Under the new rate scales the ”zone dif- ferential” system is done away in this coun- try and the same rates apply to messages originating in any region of Canada. This simplification should prove a boon to inter- national communication at the privatefiadvel and it would be excessively Provincialgii-'to protest that the Eastern users of the as- tem are subsidizing the West and pro- viding low cost telegraphic service to all Canada.

Communications are. probably the most vital single aspect of modern life and any step towards greater efficiency is a gain to There is, of course. the further consid- eration that communications across the Pa- cific may take on greater relative import- ance and in that case the sharing of the cost would not impose a burden on any part of the country.

All Canada's international cable systems are now Government owned, through the Canadian Overseas Telecommunication Cor- poration and Commercial and Anglo Am- erican Cables. The-rates are set by inter- national agreement, the Government's ac- tion in taking over the communlcatlul fl- cllities being largely for the purpose of simplifying negotiations.

Not altogether originally, but with re- cords to prove it, a delegate to the recent medical convention finds a distinct connec- tion between the personality of a car driver and the number of accidents in which he is involved. ”If a mans accident record is known, his future accident history can be predicted with astonishing accuracy." In- surance companies have no doubt already

taken note. 0

Harriet Martineau, English writer, died this date 1876. She made her reputation by her ”Illustrations of Political Economy." She visited U. S. A. and published "Society in America”, and "Retrospect of Western Travel". She enjoyed the friendship of Wordsworth: became an advocate of mes- met-ism; was attracted by Comte's phil- osophy, and published a condensation of his ”Positive Philosophy". Among her other works are ”Eastern Life", ”Letters on the Laws of Man's Social Nature and De- velopment." '

O The international situation in the Far East is confusing and conflicting. The Chinese Nationalists are warring on the British at Formosa, their planes sinking British ships by air bombs. In Korea where Britain has been supporting the Southern Koreans, the Soviet Communists of North Korea are warring on the Southern Korean Nationalists. The Kremlin is sitting tight saying nothing, evidently just waiting for a general break-up of Chinese relationships generally with a view to stepping in and scooping the pool. At present, it is the! U. S. A. who are most vitally affected.

Nine years ago. on June 26, 1941, the' Canadian Government formally announced its decision to give women their chance to serve in the Dominion's war machine. Al-i though the women's auxiliaries for the Canadian Army and the R. C. A. F. were. not formed until August 13-six weeks la-z ter-the so-called weaker sex were swamp-' ing recruiting offices for information. Be-, fore the war ended, 21,614 girls, embracingl 10 nationalities including Chinese, Russian,' Negro and Canadian-born of German ex- traction, had answered the call for volun-. teers in the CWAC. The first group ofi CWAC's to go overseas arrived in the' United Kingdom on November 5, 1942.; Eventually more than 2,000 were employed overseas at one time and they saw service. both in the Mediterranean and European! theatres. Five CWAC's were wounded as 21' result of enemy action and 25 died on ac-! tive service. August and September, 1945.

Why the Queen's nephew is selling out. Three-quarters of the land and possessions of the Harewood family have to be handed over to Sir Stafford Cripps to cover death duties on the estate of the late earl, who left i549,000. The present Earl I-iarewnod revealed this when thanking 800 tenants and workers on his Yorkshire estate for their wedding gift. About 7,600 acres of the Harewood estate, between Leeds and Har- rogate. are being sold by auction this month. a number of farms being acquired by the tenants. ' O Hearty congratulations are being extend- ed to Mr. Alfred Pickard on attaining his jubilee as a coal merchant.

W a Old Charlottetown (And P IL. I.) .

A letter from the Rev. S. T. R-and. dated, I-Iantsport, August ii), 185, to the editor of I-Iaza.rd's Ghzette, who in an article on Southport had expressed the wish to know "what the native Indians

call the pretty little creek around which they used to be so fond of

Rmmping":

"I am happy to be able to furn- ish you with this name, and I think it very euphonical. It is 'Aduosakt, pronounced tAdoosahkl; the tar in the last: syllable sounded as in tfathcl”, and made very long. It means a 'square rock'. I suppose there has been---perhaps there is now---such a rock at or near that place. were the place called 'Adousak', it. would be as near the thing as we usually come in 'mu.i-dering the Sachen's Mic- mac,' in the few original names we do use.

"The name of your Harbour is more euphonical and appropriate still. I should vote for that (as a name for Southport), and would then pray, that the rising town might soon eclipse the old one. and that justice might restore the name which the once right- ful owners of the Island gave it, a hundred years hence, by which it still is called and which cannot cease to be applied until the last. Redman shall have ceased to be,

The corps was disbanded in',or shall have become absorbed in

the Anglo-Saxon tide. This name !is 'Booksake'. in the pronuncia- .tion of which there can be no dif- flculty to anyone that can pro- nounce the common English words book" and 'sake' The accent is on the last syllable. It means"- so my lnerpreter tells me---'a narrow passage between rocks'. The entranceof the Little Bras- dlor,-in Cape Breton, bears the same name. and for the same reason. I shall be happy to visit. the City of 'Booksakel before I die. '

"The name of your Island is 'Epaygwit'. It means 'lying on the water) A log lying on the water is said to be 'agwlte'. This is one of the many words in Mtcmac in which a little imagination enables one to trace a resemblance to the Latin and Greek. You would come sufficiently near the truth to call it 'aqulte', and then you see the 'aqua' without any trou- ble. It is a thousand plties this appropriate and ancient name

had not been retained. Nciizher st. John nor Prince Edward Island has either sense or meaning in it as a name for Island. , "Alas! why did it not occur to the dlscovercrn. that. these queerly dressed beings were of the human genus. and had human rights, and human feelings and customs nllke the rest of the race, and that their rivers, islands and coun- Itriee. as well as their children ihed proper names. The question would then probably have been asked. what cell you this Island? and it would in that case possibly have been marked on tho map 'l:psygwlt' But, on a subject so intensely lntexestlns, I must. for- bear. I have I collection of some scores of Micmlc names of places within the limits of 'Mlgumehko' or 'Mlcmec Isle:-id'. I may publish them one of these days."

discussion by correspondents oi PEN PALS IN AUSTRALIA

Sir.-Some time ago. there was published in your paper the name and address of a girl in Australia wishing for P. E. I. pen pals. so I took the pleasure of writing to her as did many others, and her re- sponse for pen friends become so great she published several names and addresses in their local paper there. and any wishing to write to Islanders could do so.

In all 1 received twenty letters from different people, mostly all married women living on large farms of 10,000 acres, and as many as 2.000 acres of wheat and oats planted. They also raise large num- bers of sheep. several having as many as 1.000.

They write long, interesting let- ters and are especially interested in L.M. Montgomery's books. Many who have written tell me they have a lot of her wonderful books in their book cases.

Since writing to them I have re- ceived many papers and pictures of interesting places and things, and have also been told a lot of facts about their weather and see- sons which are '-very opposite to out-s,'as they have their winters when we have summer. and sev- eral of the ladies told me they spent Christmas at the beach with a temperature of 105 degrees.

I thought others might be inter- ested in Australia. so have written this letter to tell. a few of the many interesting things I have been told in the letters. I sincerely hope to continue my correspond- ence with thc "Aussies" (as they are sometimes called) and thank you very much for the space in your paper. .
