CHARLOTTETOWN, FRIDAY, DEC. 1, 1050

Fools And Sallotcurs

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, according to a CP despatch from Ottawa, say that those who support Communism are either fools or saboteurs. This is cl viewpoint which the vast majority of Canadians share. The only curious thing about it is that such a statement should be attributed to the R. C. M. P. For Com- munism, however odious it may be, has not been outlawed in this country. . The lunatic fringe of the body politic, unless and until Parliament decla1'es otherwise, are there- fore entitled to the some consideration from the R. C. M. P. as are members of any other political party.

The source of this definition of people who follow the Moscow line is a book of lectures entitled "Law and Order in Cana- dian Democracy." prepared by officers of the R. C. M. P. as a text book for members of the force, and published by the Kings Rrinter. Ottawa. It is comforting to know that the R. C. M. P. think that Com- munists are either fools or saboteurs. The boys in the force will probably keep a closer watch on their nefarious activities.

The disquieting thing about the state- ment is that it comes from the R. C. M. P., rather than from the Minister of Justice, or the Cabinet. To be a fool is not yet a crime. Whether or not a man or woman is a saooteur is a matter for the courts to decide. Parliament has not yet decreed that a Communist is ipso facto a saboteur.

The whole affair gives one a queasy feeling. What if the R. C. M. P. were sud- denly to decide that members of His Ma- iestyis Loyal Opposition were fbols, too?

Communists will assuredly bear watch- ing. That is the R. C. M. P.'s job. It is Parliament's job, however, and not-that of the R. C. M. P., to decide whether Com- munists are ipso facto saboteurs. and what to do about them.

"Medieval" Language Teaching

It has long been a bitter complaint against the schools in this country and elsewhere that although much time is de- voted to the study of languages, it is a rare pupil indeed who can carry on the most ele- mentary conversation in the language studied. i

Now, as reported by the New York Times, a Columbia University professor has rebelled against these methods and against similar ones applied to the teach- ing of English. English grammar, accord- ing to this theory is really Latin grammar in translation and bears little relation to the idiomatic use of English.

A revamping of teachers' methods is needed, according to the professor. She has pointed out that the way we teach languages now, none of the students can begin to use it for several years, whereas if the language was taught in a more realistic way, interest would be stronger and more sustained.

"A liusilei And A Pack"

Forty thousand bushels of barley grown on the prairies of Western Canada have provided the "cause celebre" in which the Supreme Court of this country has called "halt" to bureaucratic dictatorship. The villain in the piece is the Federal Wheat Board which, away back in 1947, invoked the now defunct Emergency Transitional Powers Act in order to seize a quantity of barley belonging to a Mr. J. J. Nolan.

What Mr. Nolan proposed to do with the barley was his business. Maybe he wanted it for cattle feed. Maybe he in- tended to hold it in storage for a while and later sell it for a profit. It was his property. He had bought it aw paid for it.

But before he could do anything with it, the Wheat Board seized it. Mr. Nolan had no say in the matter at all. He did not even have any say as to the price which the Wheat Board in its wisdom de- cided to pay him for his property which

p it had forcibly taken away. -

So Mr. Nolan took "the matter to the

terfering with the person and property of private citizens. The decision of the Su- preme Court of Canada in the Wheat Board Case is a timely and effective rebuff to such administrative lawlessness.

The filling of the table stock potato quota for the American market is looked forward to with both hope and apprehen- sion.

CHRISTMAS RIOT AND RADIO

Sir. - Now that the Christmas season and Christmas riot is at hand. one may wonder if this year as usual the long-suffering abhor- ers of loud and excessive radio are doomed for the usual pre-Chrlst- mas affliction of being compelled to listen to beautiful old Christmas anthems and carols hackneyed to death by being sung over the radio almost. hourly for twenty days or more before the actual advent. of Christmas Day. such has been the custom for the last nine cr ten years, and it is not to be wondered at if a considerable minority of our citizens are by this time foreboding a repetition of the same nffllctlcn during the last days of the present year.

It is truly Vtrangc thing to see so many other lse reasonable peo- ple obsessed With the idea that in the case of music one cannot. get too much of the good thing, espec- ially at Christmas time, But. was there ever a more foolish maxim when applied to the good things of life in general? Try the stupid olzl maxim if you will on your favor- ite wine. Fcr that matter try it on your favorite Christmas food. Who would enjoy his Christmas dinner better if he was fed three meals daily. and in between meals also, on roast. turkey and plum pudding for over twenty days before Christmas? Who would enjoy ii: better if he had this luxury literally crammed down his throat for twenty days preceding Christmas? Yet there are some of us, perhaps many of us. who for over a period of ten years during the three weeks preceding Christmas day have had Christmas cards and anthems intermixed with Christmas nonsense crammed into our resenting ears rd nauseanz And the tragic result of this for a considerable minority of us is a de- c!de:l revulsion against our beloved Christmas music before the Christ- rnas season is fully ended. And as for the great masses of our people I am ouiie convinced that if in their case this prolonged excess does not result. in a violent revuklon against the Christmas music, it. does finally result in what is perhaps worse. a stolld indifference to it. This in- difference or absence of profound reaction is especially to be deptored in the case o sacred music. and at no reason is it more to be deul:red than at the final Christmas church service.

It. is for from my”lni.cni.ion to play the role of the proverbial Scrooge and try to take one lot: of real Joy from the Christmas sea- son. By all means let us enjoy our Christmas pudding, but let us enjoy it all the more by practicing moderate eating Ind drinking for two or three weeks before the final outing of the pudding. And what. is vastly more important. let us on- jov our Christmas church Icrvlcc all the more by practicing modern- tlon on our radios during the some period that we practice moderation in eating Ind drinking of our daily palnllum.

A Son Of Canada

(Frcuun address dolivoredyectcv day by Cyrus Eaton. Canadian- born American industrialist. be-

fore the Empire Club of Canada. I

Toronto.)

In the early. formative years of my life, national policies were one of my studies. In Novn Bcotla. where my family were farmers, lumbennen and merchants, we also kept the post office, which was the sorting and distributing center for I! dozen surrounding communities. Here was a golden opportunity to learn to know the newzpapcrs of Canada and to read the detailed accounts that they carried, in those days before the comic pages. of the proceed- ings nnd speeches in Parliament.

Joseph Howe. News section great Liberal, was my grandfath- er's closest friend and. although Dr.. later Sir Charles, Tupper. her leading Conservative was the physician who brought my father into the world. he was named Jos- eph Howe Eaton. From the be- ginning. I had the good fortune to know statesmen from both sides. and I have been personally ac- quainted with every Premier of Nova Scotio. since Fielding.

When 'I was fifteen. 1 went to Ontario to school and college. During my four years in Toronto. 1 attended meetings of the Ontario Legislature as often as I could to listen to the debates. I have known personally every Pr'rne Minister of Ontario since Sir Oliver Mowat. and every Prime Minister of the Federal Government from Sir Charles Tupper to Mackenzie King.

To help put. myself through col- legc. l had a plrt time lob in the advertising department at Ry:-leis. rzow Birks, and it was there that I learned what an important od- junri the newspaper is to success- ful merchandising. I early ,. made the acquaintance of sir John Wllllson. who had left the Globe to found the News. I saw considerable of his successor on the Globe. Macdonold. and of Joe Atkinson, then a rising star in the news- paper world. I regret. that I did not have the privilege of know- ing John Ross Robertson. From that time to this. Canadian news- papers have come daily to my desk. and continuous reading of them. and especially their splen- did financial plges. has been of great value.

During my student days in Tor- onto. Clolclwln smith was at the height of his career as a provocat- ive analyst of the political and economic problems of Canada and the Empire. His home. the Grange. was a Mecca for those who were deeply concerned with what. he termed the economic backward- ness of Canada. and who. like him. were constantly searching for remedies. Goldwin smm. was not famous for his fact. but he had a penetrating intellect and n bril- liant pen. For a former professor and a writer. he was no mean

financier. furthermore, an the estate of 81,000,000 that he left testified.

The summc of my college

years were spent across the bor- der in Cleveland. where I was lucky enough to find employment with John D. Rockefeller. 51-., in my estimation. the economic titan of all time. From this inspiring relationship come my decision to make my business headquarters in Ohio. reluctant though I was to leave my loved czonodu. D

But. before settling in the United States after grlduotion. I mode 3 tour of western Canada and spent five months ranching in Suk- ntohcwon. I was present at the ceremonies in 1906 when Prime Minister Lourlcr and Governor- Genercl Grey inaugurated the govcrrnnents of the new Provinces of sukutchuwnn and Alberta. The next seven yous. my vacations all led book to the Canadian well. and. ever since. I have maintain- ed social and business relations in the western cities of Victoria. Vancouver. Calgary. Idmonton. Regina and Wlnnilit. as well u in the concern comm of Toronto. Ottlvl. Mont:-col. at. John. Chor- ioitoiown and Halifax. In my only day: in the electric power bualnotl. I owned the utilities in Brandon. until 1 cold than to the Province when John Bracken wll Premier of lnnitwo.

Votes of expenditure passed at the 1813 session of the Legislative Assembly included the following items:

A sum not exceeding 550 for the purpose of purchasing one of the Murray Harbour Islands, called Indian Island - the said Island to be reserved for the use or oc- cupation of the Aborigines of this Colony: and a further sum of 515 for the instruction of that 'lYibe.

The sum of H.000 for the crec- tion of Barracks for the Military at Georgetown and St. Eleonora "provided Her Majesty's Lmperlgl Government will allow a detach- ment of Troops to be stationed at "1050 places. and provided Her Majesty's Government. will also allow the said sum to be refunded out of the moneys arising from the future sales of the crown Lands in this Colony."

APPROPRIATIONS

Drolress of my native land. The most recent step toward that goal has been participation in the development of the Steep Rock iron ore range in western Ontario, Every hour of every day since 1944. I have been in direct touch with the manifold aspects of this undertaking. It has brought me face to face with the difficulties of creating and developing .3 new industry in Canada, and it has

given me a first-hand knowledge '

of the problems of transportation, communication. electric power, finance and markets for 3 new ,Csnadion enterprise.

Canada is held back by the ex- cessive caution of her banks, ran. roads and utilities and by nex- Federnl and Provincial Govern. men?-s. especially in their approach to electric power development and highway construction. Canada. like the rest of the world was laid low by the economic depression of the "thirties. Now. twenty years later, it is time for her big institutions to abandon the penuriouu and un- progressive policies of II contract. ing economyx and to . embark on the bold and comageous course of Expansion to bring the economic status of every Canadian to the highest in the world.
