Red Chinese Gov't Praises Achievements In Tibet
By JACK GEE
PEIPIING (Router-s)—-The Com- munist Chinese government Sat- urday praised achievements in Tibet to mark the seventh anni- versary of its annexation to China. ‘
Peiping’s newspapers and radio extolled the advent of electricity to homes formerly lit by yak but- ter lamps, the construction of a 4,000-mile network of roads, fac- tories and hospitals and the open-
ing of an air link with China.
The Dalai Lama, Tibet’s spir-
ltual leader, in a message to-
Chinese chief of state Mao Tse- Tun-g on behalf of the 1,200,000 Buddhist population, said “Tibet has made appreciable achieve- ments in political, economic and cultural fields thanks to the cor- rect leadership of ‘he Chinese Com-munist party, yourself and
‘ the Chinese governrmen-t.”
The present union of China and Tibet follows 50 years of in-, trigues and manoeuvres during
' which Tibet's monks and nobles
sided in turn with British, Rus- sians and even Chinese to main- tain their independence. N0 LATE DATA
The Western world has had to
' take entirely on trust the Chinese
account of the events during’ the
, last seven years in the world’s ’ loftiest land where farmers till , ground at 12,000 feet and trade I routes lead over, passes 16,000
feet high.
The Peiping government has c2}I‘€‘fll_1Hy admitted only Commu- nist diplomats, officials and jour- nalistswho would be certain to confine their reports to aspects of Tibetan life which would stand to credit of T-ibet’s’new rulers.
111 1956. only one year after the government began to set up a Tibetan autonomous region, it was announced that most of the Chinese otlficials working there would be withdrawn although the army remained. ‘
Last year Mao said that Tibet would not be ripe for commu- nism until at least 1962.
The main problems of the gov- ernment appear to be the vested spiritual interests of the lamas and the Tibetan’s historical dis- like for the Chinese which Perp- ing preflers to call .“1ocal chauv- mism.”
CHARGES WEST MEDDLING
But Wang Feng, vice-chairman of the comimitttee for the affairs of ethnic minorities, told parlia- ment here in February that “am- erican and British imperialists have bought up a handful of Ti- betan reactionaries . to conduct activit-ies for the creatibn of a so- called independent nation.”
All available evidence shows the Chinese are trying to carry out one of the biggest programs of colonialization in m o d e r n times. The government is giving
the Tibetans privileged treatment in a bid to gain their loyalty. Peasants receive interest - free loans which are not granted to Chinese co-operatives.
Taxation is apparently light and the abolition of the poll tax was announced last year.
These facets of modern Tibet along with new power stations, cl-inics and Lhasa’s airport will be displayed to Prime Minister Nehru of India, first non-C?o'mmu- nist personality to be invited to the Tibetan fastness, when he pays a one-week vis" this fall. NEW “PEACE” TIES
Gen. Chang Ching Wu, the Chi- nese governmen-t’s representative Tibet, in a press interview this weekend linked the “new relations - peace and friend- ship” bet een China and India with the “return of Tibet to the big family of the motherland.”
But he admitted that the return of the prodigal to the distant ma- ternal bosom_ some 2,000 miles away in Peiping had not been achieved without difficulties.
"lmlperialists and cou-nter-rev- olutionaries will not accept their defeat willingly," he said.
The general apparently set ou-t to justify the maintenance of the Chinese garrison in Tim’ where, according to some reports, poorly armed Tibetans have actually fought pitched battles against Chinese units.

THOUGHTS FOR OUR TIME
BY HIS‘ EMINENCE CARDINAL MCGUIGAN
’ INSPIRATION IS NEED FOR YOUTH OF TODAY
What is referred to nowadays as the ‘‘teen- age problem” is really nothing new in the history
~ of man. Youth has always been , rebellious to some extent, and no
doubt always will be. Because the world is constantly changing,
, young people will always have a
slightly different outlook on life from that of their parents. This is a truism, of course; we might even call it a “law” of nature. And it is far from being a bad thing.
Youth is always to the fore when changes have to be made. Whenever revolutions have been fought, whenever some cause has needed def-ending, whenever fund- amental rights and freedoms
- have been endangered by oppres-
sion, there has never been any lack of young recruits in the front ranks of the battle. The recent abortive revolution Hungary is a case in point. It

and educators are worried.
Obviously there is no simple so- lution‘ to the problem. Even the exact nature of the pvroblefii ‘is by no means clear. But one thing seems certain enough: if there is a teen-age problem today, it is at least partly the fault of the older genera-tion.
This last statement should not be construed as an attempt to whitewash the actions of hood- lums. Any youth who commits an illegal act of violence ought to be punished for it; and the pun- ishment should be as severe as the crime demands. This is nec- essary. But it is no solution to the problem in general. Repres- sive measures seldom are.

To Hold Trade
HALIIFAX The Atlantic Provinces Economic Council an- nounced today that Atlantic Pro- vince manufacturers, processors, hackers and distributors are being invited to participate in two Canadian Trade Fairs which are being held in the West Indies early next year. The Canadian government has announced that it will sponsor trade fairs in Kensington, Jamaica, January 162i and in Port-of-S;-pain, Trinidad, February 20-March 1_ 1059. Costs of staging the fairs will be paid by the Canadian government.
APEC reports that applications for space are being accepted by the Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa.. At last count eighty booths had been reserved by Canadian compan- ies and trade associations. Space is limited to 100 booths. The purpose of the two fairs is to enable Canadian firms to show prospective purchasers in the West Indies and Caribbean areas what products are avail- able from Canada. Participating firms will be able to renew business contacts in the area and establish new ones. CONFERRED WITH GOVTS.
G. E. Woollam, Chief, Food and Agriculture Division, Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa, a member of the Trade Fair working committee, was in Halifax last week. He con- ferred with Provincial govern- ment representatives from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Mr. Woollam said that “busi- nessmen from the whole Carib- bean area are expected to at- tend the two fairs. There are approximately eight million people in the Caribbean area, three million of which live in

ing in both countries”, he said. “The West Indies is a natural market for V Atlantic Province producers and there should be room for Canadian capital goods and consumer goods particularly foodstuffs”. he added.
SPACE LIMITED
Booth space at the two fairs is limited and applications should be made immediately, Mr. Woollam advised. Detailed in- formation and application forms can be obtained by writing the Department of Trade and Com- merce in Ottawa.
At least six companies and trade associations from the At- lantic Region have reserved space at both fairs. Fish, fishery products, iextiles_ lumber, fresh, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, and a number of other products from the Atlantic Provinces will be shown.
Canadian firms sold $40.2 mil- lion worth of goods in the West Indies last year Atlantic Pro- vince businessmen who have visited the West Indies are im- pressed with opportunities for even larger Canadian sales de- spite dollar restrictions and U. S. competition. They have sug- gested that the Atlantic Provin- ces take a second look at the Caribbean market. The Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce expects to have a representa- tive visit the Region again in July to complete arrangements
for the West Indies Fairs.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Soviet- bloc nations want more butter, but steel still comes first.
Analysis of a 1,200-word com- munique issued Saturday night by Russia and the Communist count- ries of East Europe indicates their leaders’ urgent desire to raise the level of consumer goods production by wider use of auto- mation.
The communique was issued af- ter Russian and East European C o in m u ii i st and government chiefs met here as members of the mutual economic assistance council. The four - d-ay session ended Saturday.
The need for common - sense planning and close economic co- operation would be particularly vital, observers said, if the East- ern bloc now launches the big program of buying Western pro- ducts suggested recently by So- viet Premier Khrushchev.
HOPE TO BEAT U.S.
The communique reflected Rus- sia's avowed intention to catch up and pass the United States in per capita industrial production.
Although Red China is not a member of the council, it agreed to co-ordinate its national plans with council programs, the com- munique said.
The communique also said the meeting considered ways of mesh- ing economies so that some bloc members will specialize in cert- ain industries and avoid compet- ing with others. .
It did not mention such political issues as Yugoslav President Ti- to’s defiance of Moscow’s claim to direct ideology and practice.

Despite his gains, de Gaulle has not won the war. It still is pos- sible that he may not win it.
“The Socialists are not going to give way before him,” said an important spokesman.
Yet it remains just possible that this week may see de Gaulle called in. And if he is, it is more than possible the country may see

Rejection of such aid, without even talking it over with the general, might give excuse for some wavering repu- ties to bolt for de Gaulle. A few votes, more or less, may be de- cisive Tuesday. ‘ INFURIATES SOCIALISTS

and was ready to accept such E111‘0l>€an organizations as the common market, so dear to So- cialists and many other deputies. Why are Socialists so perturbed about de Gaulle? First off, they do not trust his capacity to gov- ern, nor do they trust his capac- ity to control the diverse asso- ciates who have flocked around him in the past. One Socialists, in close contact with upper-bracket cabinet ranks, spelled it out.
“De Gaulle is a great patriot and we followed him as resist- ants during the war. But he knows nothing and cares nothing about economic policies, nor par- liamentary government. We are convinced that his rule would lead inevitably to dictatorship. Do you expect -Socialists to follow
him in that direction?” .
‘tough fighting in the streets of the big cities, Paris among them..
This is no longer the silly and somewhat superficial battle that has continued in the National As- sembly for a dozen years, seeing one premier go out and another in, with nothing much involved in all too many instances. -
FUNDAMENTAL DIVISION
The forces which are face to face now in the country and in Algeria are divided fundament- ally and the presence of de Gaulle at the controls will be no guaran- tee of harmony.
A battle in the assembly is scheduled Tuesday over reform of the constitution to gi' ~ to the cabinet a guarantee of executive power which at present is all too easily taken away by the assem- bly.
The changes proposedare so
almost breath - taking to know that they might be voted into ef- fect. If they are, de Gaulle has lost, for the time beint at least. Tuesday May 27 could be a day so important that str.c.e'ts may be named after it, whatever the out- come.
De Gaulle’s latest gain came through a visit to his home by former premier Antoine Pinay. Pinay is liked and respected by many and disliked and despised by others. Political life is that I way.
E But his action seems to have ibeen motivated by a real belief 3 that only de Gaulle can bring an and quickly to the uprising of ; army officers and colonials in Al- Igeria. Pinay is no Gaullist., In times past he has indicated he .has no great respect for the I statesmanship of the general. I He simply asked the general
