CHARLOTTETOWN, IVEDNESDAY. DEC. 13. I950

wil'i”Mao can The Tuna?

Tile defeat of United Nations forces in North Korea has released a spate of re- criminations among the strategists and statesmen of the western democracies. Such recriminations, however, contribute less than noilhing towards finding a solu- tion of the present situation. Rather, they merely serve to ultdel-score the enormity of the disaster. For when friends fail in a common venture. it is not unusual to en- deavour to find a scapegoat.

Such a policy of disunity plays right into tlle hands of the enemy. Nothing, at the moment. can be more soothing to Mos- cow's ears than the name-calling that has been going on in western capitals. 'IInat name-t'-ailing must stop. or all is lost. The first place to stop it is right here in Can- ada, where thoughtless and malicious folk alike have been busy heaving brickbats at our American neighbors for getting the western democracies into the present mess.

The place to lay the blame is fairly and squarely on the Communists. Subtle dis- tinctions between the Chinese Communists and the Russian Communists only beclqud

the issue. Canadians ought to know tliiat Communists, whatever their nationality, are the tools of the Kremlin. That goes

for Canadian Communists as well.

Right now a lot of people are wonder- ing what to do about the Korean debacle. The only person who really knows the answer is Chinese Communist leader Mao. He knows, because he takes his orders from Stalin. If Mao and Stalin want total war, they're going to get it. That much, at least, emerges from tihe Anglo-Amer- lcan-Canadian talks of the past few days. it is up to Mao to call the tune. What that tune will be depends upon whether the Chinese leader isiready to pay the piper, while Stalin sits back and listens to the music.

conservative Standard Bearer

Congratulations are due to Wing Com- mander J. Angus MacLean upon his un- animous nomination as Progressive Con- servative candidate for the vacant Federal seat in Queen's. Mr. MacLean was the Party standard bearer on two previous oc- zasions, and although defeated proved a strong and popular candidate. There is no question but that he would make an ex- cellent representative at Ottawa, and it is for his party supporters to get whole- heartedly behind hi'ln during the campaign. The date of the by-election has not yet been announced. but as both the major parties have now selected their standard bearers--l'he Liberals having nominated Mr. Cecil Miller on Dec. 1-it is to be hoped that. the contest will not be unduly delayed.

Last night's convention was a large and enthusiastic one. indicative of the public interest which is being taken in the poll- tical situation at this time.

Premier Frost's Discovery

For years the Maritime Provinces have been complaining about the huge industrial expansion of Central Canada at the expense of the outlying Provinces, a process which has been going on at an accelerated pace ever since Confederation. This central- ization of industry has resulted in moving population as well as wealth to the big in- fdustrial areas, leaving the less favouled i-Provinces more and nlore at the mercy of

the Federal Government for assistance in

offsetting a disadvantage which was never contemplated in the Confederation Pact,

and has resulted in social and economic dif- ferences of grave danger to our national l. unity, This grievance has been aired before 'numerous Royal Commissions as well as won the floor of Parliament, and prophets have not been wanting to point out that, in the end, the gains'tlhu.s made by a few fa-

I .vored Provinces at the expense of the oth- ers would prove suicidal to all c3;i:2r.iad.

Ll

ow, it seems, the chickens 0are coming ome to roost. Ontario's Premier Frost has seen the light. and at last week's Do- minion-Provincial tax conference made a , belated plea for balancing our lopsided in-

3 duotrial setup. - y, ,. Premier Frost's complaint was that in :Illl own Province "rapid industrial ex- on has led to all manner of problems. .- m.l-oqaircrnenls for more roads, more zjchoolcj moregmuniclpal assistance to than scfooncorvctlon and stream pollution. This . :1 uguiugu-y and population has -uroincnlfously heavy costs to the

provincial and municipal governments of Ontario." "What I have said," he added, "makes evident the desirability of an even development of Canada. Perhaps it would be well if this conference, as part of its work, would consider ways and means of providing for a more even industrial de- velopment across the country."

The Ottawa Citizen, in commenting fa- vorably on Premier Frost's remarks, notes that in Britain there has been some suc- cess in inducing light industries to estab- lish in new areas. "Perhaps," it says, "some of the lessons learned by the British Gov- ernment would be useful here." It should not be difficult to make a start. The late Mr. John R. MacNicol- -an Ontario man- proposed a great scllcnle of industrializa- tion for the Maritimes through establish- ment of cheap electrical power with Fed- eral assistance. Perhaps his plan, or one like it, could be taken out of mothballs and given some serious consideration by the powers that be. In the meantime, a more equitable distribution of freight rate in- creases, which are strangling industry in the Maritime Provinces, would help consid- erably.

IIUIIURIAL NUIES

Prince Edward Island and its oysters have received a good deal of publicity late- ly, but no more than their due. U C I Those who did not do their shopping early and others who did. but were thor- oughly bitten by the shopping bug, are crowding the stores and will do so until the last moment. 0 O 0 Tonight the leading teams of the two Maritime leagues meet here, presumably to settle which is the senior senior series. The result, however, will probably raise more controversy than it decides. O I 3 Who actually is responsible for the control of "Shake"? Is it the Depanxment of Health and Welfare, the Temperance Commission, or the Department of Justice? Anyway the City Council is to be com- mended for drawing attention to the scan- dalous abuse of shaving lotion. C U I It is too bad that Moncton, the hub of the Maritimes, should be subject to periodic flooding through rising tides of the Petit- codiac River. It must be a dreadful ex- perience for some 40 householders to find their homes flooded from basement to roof, and in one or two instances floating with the tide. We here do not seem to realize how well off we are. 0 I O The Premier has, lnore or less politely, indicated that the Government is not coli- templating the erection of a Provincial Museum. In the circumstances it would be worth while for some citizen or citizens to form a syndicate for the purpose, rath- er than allow mementos of our historic past to be scattered hither and thither al- most beyond anybody's ken. We have Holy Scripture for the injunction that "God requires the past." 0 C 0 Dr. Samuel Johnson. English man of letters, died this date 1784 in his seventy- fifth year. In criticism Johnson belongs to the "correct" school; he depreciates Mil- ton's freedom of prosody; he objects to the Romantic Movement, and is suspicious of Gray's poetry. Yet he is a great critic, in spite of his ”correctness". ”The Vanity of Human Wishes" is not great poetry; it is too correct, too scholarly. The novel "Rasselas" fails in character; nominally it is a tale of Imlac, all Abyssinian prince; in reality it is a book of wisdom and literary criticism. 0 O O The potato growers of Prince Edward Island are paying tribute this evening to Mr. S. G. Peppin, veteran district inspector of seed potato certification whose retire- ment, after thirty-sixyears with the Fed- eral Department of Agriculture, has been announced. In charge of seed certification here for the past tlhirty-two years, Mr. Peppin has had a great deal to do with the phenomenal progress made by our seed producers in that time, during which the fame of Prince Edward Island potatoes has spread far and wide. The tribute this evening will take the form of a compli- mentary dinner at The Charlottetown, and will be widely representative of the indus- try. 0 O O Lt.-Col. Leo F. MacDonald gave a timely address on public speaking at this week's meeting of Rotary. There is noth- ing more necessary in a democracy than that the citizens should know how to ex- press themselves, and in a manner both persuasive and emphatic. This is quite dif- ferent from what I-Ion. Mr. Howe desig- nates "yapplng" which, alas, is-all too common. Col..MacDonald argues that men should be trained not only to express them- selves intelligently and decently, but should be able to think on their feet without hav- ing had to commit their thoughts to paper -though preparation is a prime necessity

5'-'H'in'H'in'-' NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES

S-lr. - Recent announcement from Ottawa that the freight sub- sidy on Western grain, shipped to Eastern Canada would be contin- ued untll the end cf July next, caus- ed no more than a ripple of en- thusiasm. if any at all, among live- stock feeders in the province The brief reprieve will cover a period when local supplies are available -lvlth a little skirmlshlug. at a much lower "cost. per cwt., even after the government pays the freight.

The period between the time when Island supplies become ex- liausted. and the arrival of the new CFOD with time for conditioning, will be the toughest for island farmers. That will be occasion for another round after round of del- egations hielng to Ottawa for hand- outs that will not materialize If the money spent on such futile missions, even during the past two years to mainland points, Ottawa and Iurther. could be salvaged :md potted into one sack. it would show 8. consideraiie accumulation, and the farmers of the Province have not benefitted to any extent as a result. of those pilgrimages.

It should become apparent by the simplest form of deduction that the day or gratuities from Ottawa are about to be suspended. and that the people of the Marltlmes, to a greater extent, must depend upon

their own initiative and resource- fulness. Ottawa has given notice to that effect in its summary dismiss- al of a delegation that waited upon the Minister of Agriculture recent- ly and was told to "go home and get. their own house in order".

on the assumption that because of our "continual coming" Ottawa will become ”wearled", and yield Re- cent dispatches from Ottawa state that in budgetary preparations now golng on preceding next session of Parliament. Department of Agric- ulture expenditures are among those being pared down, as an economic measure. for the next few years. That does not give room for much hope that the present frezllt sub- sidv on Western grain coming East will be adopted as a Federal policy. And so it looks as if we must do our own economic

eternally soliciting aid.

There is room and Cipp0l'Iilllli.y for progress along these lines under good leadership and individual in- itiative. Ottawa is well aware of the possibilities within our reach. and is steering our thoughts in that dir-

if not actually lower cost than now under a freight subsltilzerl policy, and that the auality can be much superior to that brought here through regular channels of trade.

If deer are going to be m savage

they are not being hunted at all.

The obvious agency to deal with this problem is the local authority issuing hunting licences. If money is taken by a government for a licence, that government should at- ford some protection for hunters while they are in the woods.

What is the matter with the game wardens? can they not seg- regate cnd destroy all savage deer before the yearly hunt begins? A few repetitions of the Wisconsin incident will serve to keep all law- ablding and peaceful hunters out of stile woods.
