The Family Farml

The National Planning Associa- tion, an American organization which keeps a watchful eye over all phases of the nation's economic life. has been looking into the plight of the family farm. As a result of its study it has issued a report in which it suggests that "current trends indicate that the basic issue of family farm policy must be faced without delay".

The report notes that "an in- crrasiii: number of families cannot make an adequate living. and the situation is ai;,:ravated by increased concentration of land and capital". It recommends revision of credit policies nf I-'t'deI'al agencies. I strongcr vocational guidance pro- gram and encouragement of small industries in places where farming

is in a low state. At the same llll'.r'. tlic As-of-i;itioii points out that it drips not agree with those who contend that bigger consolidated units. heavily mechanized for mass agriciiltural production. are the arisiter in all farm problems. it

PIEIHPS family farming as "the most desirable form of organization for American agriculture".

What to about small scale r.iiviiinii.; and how to encourage 3-niing farmers to stay on the land are problems in Canada as well as In the l'nitcd Stains. And they are tittiliienis uliirli hitlierttl. it would seem. itaxe not born given the at- tention they deserve. From a pure- ly dollar-and-cents anzle. the "hit- l'tiis.iiirW::" type of farming may seem to be more efficient than that which is carried on by a father and his sons and perhaps a hired man or two. As a way of life. how- eicr. and from the standpoint of the cultural interests of rural communities. it is much less val- uahle.

it ought to be possible to save and pnrprtiiate the inherent values of the family faiwn. provided that the full cmoperation of government and farm orgaiiirations. aided by hi ttdern terlillllltal resources. is brought to bear on the important need.

On The Way Out

Most people pro- bably would say it was the dinosaur. that frightening beast of pre-his- tnric times which for some reason siiwriimhcd to the attacks of small- er enemies. But they would be uroiig. The Blue Whale attains a W9l:l1l of 150 tons. equivalent to 35 fully groiiii nlcphants and. as far as

Finding The Ark

"And the ark rested in the seventh month on the seventeenth day of the month upon the moon. tains of Ararat". Thus does the Book of Genesis describe the end- "ll 0' the mat flood. Another ancient scroll. the "Book of Jubi. l995''- 3" apocryphal work. says that the ark descended on Mt. Lu- bar, one of the hills of Ararat. It; highest peak stands at 17,000 feet and it has attracted the attention of travellers and archaeologists for many centuries. Josephus, the hlg. torian who lived in the first cen- tury A. D., maintained that parts of the ark were still preserved at that time. Evidence that Mt. Lu- bar was covered in the deluge is seen in the layers of sea shells at different levels.

But although the location of Noah's ship has been tentatively determined from time to time. the question has never been definitely settled A few years ago British archaelogists tried to obtain per- mission from the Soviet Union (Ararat borders on the Soviet Union and Turkeyi to explore the area. This was refused. Soviet leaders said it was just a pretext to cover espionage activities. Recently. however. another British team received a special permit from iioth the Soviet and Turkish Gov- ernments to go ahead with their plans. Already they have found something buried in a glacier 14.000 foot up the mountain. Tests show that a piece of wood chopped from the buried thing. whatever it is. was more than 5.000 years old. This strengthens the belief that the actual ship which Noah built will soon be uncovered.

The Russians are not helping the expedition although they have given consent for it. The Turks, lion-mini-. are doing everything they can and have promised troops if necessary to remove the thick ice.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

The Logic Of Mr- Dulles

Winnipeg Free Prone

Mr. Dulles is an able lawyer as he has demonstrated once again in his speech at San Francisco on American policy towards Com- munist China Unfortunately for him. a successful foreign policy requires much more than the for- ensic arts lf logic was sovereign tn the affairs of states there would he no Commonwealth and in that event Mr. Dulles might have spar- ed himself n restatement of pol- icy directed. presumably. to the Prime Ministers now meeting in London. But there is a Common- wealth and it is already plain e- nough that the P rl m e Ministers have reached conclusions on China quite different from those of Mr. Dulles. . .. ..

The US. Secretary of State, like Mr. Calvin Coolidge, iii against sin and against compromise with it. The sin that matters, from I foreign policy standpoint. is (Tom- munism. especially in its Chinese manifestation. it would be n wick- ed compromise to recognize the Peiping Communist regime be- cause diplomatic recognition is. in the American view. s moral act. signifying some degree of ap- provsl. This ll Mr. Dulle's basic premise; everything Ilsn flows from it.

NOT CONSISTENT

There is. of course. one scrtnus difficulty. The United States has not been consistent in this view. Not long ago It .t-cognlled s Gusto- mslnn Government. born of civil war. on the very marrow of its vic- tory. Mr. Dulles is much more sadly aware of another case - Soviet Russia -- which the Roose- velt Government recogniud In lltltl. He defends that by saying that the United States at the time could not have known that Russia would become aggressive and break her pledgos. '

But on this showing Mr. Acheson would lvvs been right to recognise the Pe ping reizlrne at any time down too the Chinese Intervention in the Korean war. Mr. Acheson could not have foreseen that ag- gression and need not have been deterred by anything that the Chinese Communists had done to that hour -- for they had been merely trending A path already followed by the Russians before 1933. This argument. in other words deletes the Chinese revolu- tlon from the reckoning: n rather heavy blow of Senator Knowland.

Alternntely, since the future can- not be foreseen. the U.S. Govern- ment should be on its lunrd a limit recognizing anybody. If shout per- llnns also in strict Inglc consider the withdrawal of mcognllton from Russia and a score of other countries that have been tried and found wanting by Ive stale Depart- ment. '

SECIJND POINT

Mr Dulles second point is that American recognition of Commiin isi China would discourage many thousands of Chinese inside the country and overseas who are op- posed to Man Tue-Tung. No doubt it would. But for this Mr. Dulles himself is partially responsible.

tllritish recognition had no serious consequences because the British did not pretend that it was a moral act; it in British practice to recog- nie a Government that exerts ef- fective control over s particular territory in time. of peace.

Mr. Dulles has said so much about the appalling consequences of recognising the Peiping regime he has invested it with such great significance. that the United Sta- tes must now anticipate reper- russinns if and when it is forced to admit the facts of life in the Far East.

By identifyins non-recognition with American resolution and roe- nsnltlon with American lrresolu- tlnn. the Secretary is storing up Irnublp for the future. For the fact is that the United Stairs by its present policies cannot direct the. course of svents in C h in I . cannot. reverse the revolution in that country and. as recent events have shown. cannot even main- tain the Allied front in trade with ('luns which had existed since the Korean war. What it can do is bind in own hands and deny itself the chance to influence events which might be offered by a less rigid policy.

NOT TO Ill IGNORE!)

Alnatlon may refuse to recall- nin Communist China but it can not ignore her. China is. in fact. one of the largest considerations in American military policy it is quite possible that the United States may desire shortly to can- elude I disarmament ... ment with Soviet Russia. In that event. will it be possible to leave Chins mil of account? Resident Elmi- hower offered the rcaumg com- ment last week that China is not a country with a great industry. But this cannot be said of Russia.

And if Russia exercises the pon- cr In China that Mr. Dulles ss- sumes than would. presumably be nothing to prevent her from continuing to mnnufncturc nuclear weapons on Chinese soil. free of international Inspection. it is surely in the American inter- est in bind China by treaty to any agreement on .1:...i-munent; Ac- cording to reports from London. this is the policy favored by the rnmmonwesltli Prime Ministers.

i But. how can Mr. Dulles mslic s treaty with s Govcrnmut he does I not recognise?

t Logic solllntlmes ends is absin- dltles. In the use of Mr. Dulles It may also end in grave dangers

for the United Statics.

FAMOUS OPEIIAS

Sir. I am writing to ask if you would be good enough to per- mit a few lines of your paper to be used to ask if any of your readers are interested in the position relat-

ing to the Gilbert and Sullivan 0p- , eras. and tile fact that when the -

copyright expires in 1961. there is a disti.nct danger that much of t he truly British tradition associated

with these Operas will be lost. and'

already our evidence suggests that parodies are being prepared of the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas and severe mutilation is intended as soon as the copyright comes off.

In this connection a world wide petition Ilu been --rganlsed to not only protest against mutilation of these Operas. but to ask the English Parliament to invest the copyright. in some public cultural body for the purpose of proteclinn the beauty of Sullivan": music. and the wit and humour of Gilbert's lib- retto. and therefore perpetuate the originality of these two great masters for all time.

It is intended that this petition will be presented to Parliament in 1059 by Mr. Lawrence Turner. the Member of Parliament for the City of Oxford. and already over .'l50.000 signatures have been col- lected from Britain and other coun- tries. A great many more are need- ed and we here feel that there In many music loving Canadians. who would wish to be associated with tiucli a petition. and I will be pleased to arrange with the organ- isers of the petition for nsupply of forms to be sent to anyone willing to obtain signatures in any part of Catrndn. if they will let me know at 33!.

Buns and peas are particular- ly rich in the B vitamins which help keep us from tiring sully. protect our appetites and genes- slly aid in maintaining all around good health.

Vtsmin C keeps our teeth and gums healthy. It's found primar- ily in such foods as toimtoes. oranges. lemons. grapefruit .tur- nips. raw cabbage. potatoes. (rub green vegetables. cantaloupe and fresh berries.

Nature gave us an sppettung variety of food from which to choose. By eating some of this and some of that. we would not some of everything we needed. MODERN CONVENIENCE!

But her plans were formulated some time ago-long before the days of automobiles. mechanical farm equipment. automatic heat- ing and cooling devices: long be- fore so many of us spent so much of our time sitting down.

To get all the value my body needs from food alone. I'd have to about 5.000 calories I day. Not only would this mean l'd spend most of my time eating. but I'd soon be as big as a house. NORMAL AMOUNT I

So I get about half the nourish- ment I need by eating a normal amount of food - about 2.500 cs!- nries s day. And I get the remain- ing half of the vitamins and min- eral: by taking additional vitam- ins and minerals. V

I think I have evidence that this is a pretty good system: 1 am still working futl-time- and I haven't taken a vacation in 30 years.

Maybe Wm could use vitamin and mineral supplements. too. Ask your doctor.
