Those Railway Rates

In the Speech from the Throne at the opening of Parliament it was intimated that consideration would be given to implementing some of the recommendations of the Mac~ Pherson Royal Commission on Transportation. This commission Was given two major tasks—to in- vestigate problems relating to rail- Way transportation in Canada, and to investigate the inequities of the freight rate structure and their in- cidence upon the various parts of the country. Some concern is felt by the Maritimes Transportation Commission as to how the MacPher- spun Commission findings on these matters will affect the Maritime Freight Rates Act.

Principally, t h e representations to the MacPherson Commission from provincial governments, trade Associations and industries of the Atlantic P r o v i n c as unanimously stressed the need for a. re—alignment 0f the Act to enable Atlantic ship. pets to reach the important mar- kets of Ontario and Quebec at trans- port costs equivalent to their com- petitors located in Central Canada and to automatically keep such re- alignment true. Other shippers, mora dependent on the local Atlan- tic or export markets. sought low transport costs both within the re- gion and for exports via Maritime ports.

It was felt that the mere adjust- ment of the rate of subvention un- der the. Act would not permanent- 1y restore. the. benefits which the

Act was intended to provide. Ac- cordingly, the Maritimes Trans- portation Commission submission

called for, first, additional trans- portation subventions to give At- lantic industry rate priority. on the average. with industry in Ontario and Quebec; seCond: for periodic adjustments to keep this parity; and third. for the payment of the additional transportation subvent- ions to all types of "for-hire” carrier.

it is to be hoped that these con- siderations will weigh with Parlia- ment when the proposed legislation affecting railway transportation is introduced. The. Maritimes Trans- portation Commission has issued a comprehensive bulletin from Mone- ton on the subject. and on other aspects of the MacPherson report, which every member at Ottawa should make it his business to study carefully.

. Nixon's Desperate Bid .5 The fact that the Democrats dontinue to hold control over Con- gress is about all that is of direct concern to Canadians in Tuesday‘s gtlactiona in the United States. But there were many interesting, and liven significant. features of the l pmpaign which attracted more than union-wide attention. One of these im an attempt of former Vice- ih'uldant Richard Nixon to make a imk by ascending the diving- Mt‘il of thl.| California governorship, illicit so often‘in American history las catapulted a man into the Whits you... His defeat pretty Well puts till 911d to his political ambitions. Igln a recent article by Alistair labia in "The Listener”. a reliable missiles of the iii-nun Bromi- hating Corporation, Mr. Nixon’s tics-in this campaign were out- . The)‘ mod! disquieting road- ' ,and we confess to some feelan "irth M haehes been hasten. Mr.:Nimu sought to ride M'Colifonus by'IeViving

a campaign cry ‘with which he was associated in the days of the late Senator McCarthy; "Communism in- side our borders.” It was an extra- ordinary theme to take up again with stich fire, involving as it did a pledge to start, through the State legislature, a new and more vigor-i ous witch-hunt to ferret out sub- versives and Communists wherever they were suspected of hiding.

The trouble with such hunts, as Mr. (‘ooke writes, is that they are conducted by politicians, not by judges; that is to say by men whose prospects of election depend on their sensing and responding to the popu- lar mood. The popular mood in the early ‘fifties was feverish and ugly when a man’s political opinions, or patriotic loyalty, were in question. And California wa s particularly notorious for its flaiflooted invasion of the fundamental rights of a citizen not to be condemned before his guilt was proven.

The California house committee on utrAmerican activities has not died, though it has been slumbering of late. Mr. Nis‘ton promised to wake it up and hand it the whip. it was not good news for people who had thought that Mr. Nixim found the proper measure of his ability when he moved into the more Com- manding horiZons of statesnauship —when he became President Eisen- hower’s chief lieutenant and was privy to all the documents from home and abroad that the President. and only the President. gets to see. Mr. Nixon recalled the bad old days even more startlingly by darkly men- tioning, in his campaign, thirty-odd Democrats in office who were Com- munists. He did not say their names.

No one is more alert to the ebb and flow of power in the United States than Ex-President Harry S. Truman, who at, seventy-eight tle- cided to get into the congressional election and throw his weight around. Typically, he sniffed the way the wind was blowing in the Nixon campaign and headed for California. He turned up in San Francisco as Nixon was announcing his crusade. and told a rollicking audience that this relapse of Mr. Nixon was easily explained: “When he left the low road for the high road, he. just found the rarefied atmosphere too much for his blood.”

If Harry Truman succeeded in alerting the electors to the danger of following Nixon on a return trip down the “low road", it may not prove the least of the public ser- vices for which the American nation is indebted to him.

Impressive Statement

Now the U.N. General Assembly, by an overwhelming vote, has in- dorsed the vote of the organization‘s special political committee calling for a ban on all nuclear tests by Jan. 1. We have just received. in this connection, a statement on the effects of atomic research which was delivered before the special committee by Mr. Heath Macquarrie, M.P.. on behalf of Canada.

Mr. Macquarrie took note, among other things, of tWo important re- cent developments which have add- ed to Canada’s apprehensions for the health and safety of present and future generations. One is the omin- ous fact that nuclear testing in the

atmosphere has, during the last'

twelve months. been taking place with ever-increasing frequency. The other is the receipt by the General Assembly of a second com- prehensive report of the scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation. This carefully written and objective report makes it clear that fallout from nuclear testis represents

a significant contribution to .the.

total level of radiation to which the human race is exposed. The ines- capable conclusion is that such fall» out increases the danger of harm- ful somatic and hereditary effects of radiation for present and future generations.

Mr. Macqunrrie’s plea Was for facilitating, in every way, the work of the World Meteorological Organi- aztion in probing further into these hazards. But it was equally effect. lve as a condemnation of the prac-k tice of continuing nuclear tests un- der any circumstances. Reading it in the light of the subsequent votes on the test; ban issue, we have no doubt that it c0ntributed materially to the unanimity with whisk the views of the United Nations were «pressed.

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Unusual Excitement At National Gallery

“A little of what you fancy does you good."

Those words, made famous by

the former vaudeville favourite 2

Marie Lloyd, are equally ap- plicable to the visual form of art. it seems. Anyway, 0t- tawans have been thmniging in unprecedented numbers to our National Gallery here, to enjoy the exhibition of 187 paintings put together by the U.S. art cullector, Walter P. Chrysler

Jr.. under the title “The Con- .

troverslal Century".

Dr. Charles Comfort, director of our National Gallery. c all s Mr. Chrysler's art collection of some 4.500 pieces -— of w c only a minority are included in

this exhibition — “one o the most distinguished and most extensive in US A."

Mr. Chrysler offered this ex- citing selection for exhibition at Provincetown U.S.A. and in Ottawa, to demonstrate the dramatic. disturbing and rest- less developments in art in the

century 1850-1950. of this per- 3

ind. Mr. Chrysler says: “At no time in the history of painting has there been as much contro- versy about thought, technique, method. theory and e art to ac- complish ways of expression on canvas. As well as the honoured few, there were many artists w ll o s e talents went unrecog- nized."

So. on the walls of our gal- lery. were temporarily hu n1 depictions of crude nudes. plea- sant peasants and tortured pos- tures n the whole gamut of the “controversial lury". from the traditional and lifelike

to the impressionist and—unrec- , ognizahle, by honoured artists i

and Venus are practically next door to us compared to the much vaster distances which separate us from the most dis- tant planets. But we may be confident even remote Pluto will he visited by our descendants.

U.K. Scholarship Awards

The savoury taste of this -

unusual art dish was relished. '

especially when the art world of New York began to damn the exhibit which had been praised when shown in U. . .

"The Controversial Century Would be recognizable as an excellent show for any local- ity." then said the. respected art critic of the New York Times. Now. when it is hung in Ottawa. another U.S. publication dubs it "a colossal collections of lakes.“

"Nearly half are flagrant phonics," charges one U.S. cri- tic. But during its earlier show- ing in U.S.A., another code "The charm of the exhibition lies in its offbeat inclusions. and an offbeat character that pops up unexpectedly in such minor hercsles as the inclusion h 0. re and there of a surprising atypi- cal example of an artist who is represented by a clutch of typ- ical work elsewhere. This is all most agreeable."

And so Ottawa too found it a feeable, trooping to see first " he Controversial Century" a nd later the controversial canvases. some of whic are now said not ave been paint- ed by the famous artists whom they are attributed. If this is so, it was truly said that there are some unexpected n- cluslmis or offbeat, paintings by artists of hitherto unrecognized talent! Yet talent those artists certainly have. conclude the Ottawa viewers. who have found
