Some 5,000 Caned... a virtually the, entire Combined Operat1ons- force-Com-' mandoes--were launched against the Dieppc beaches ten years ago today. In seven hours of fighting more than two-thirds of that number had become casualties: 593

for, while those wounded numbered 591.

Few of the major objectives had been achieved for this fantastic price, chiefly be- cause the inestimable value of surprise was lost. Before the shore of Europe was in sight one group of landing craft approach- ing Berneval was sighted by a German patrol boat that immediately flashed an alarm "for help and the whole French coast was alerted.

The six beaches chosen for the assault, however, taught the Allies the full require-: ments for an assault landing against the strongest defences the Germans could pro- vide- The problems of combining air, sea and land operations were there demonstrat- ed for the studying and to save countless lives in the later large-scale landings in

Marketing Scheme Decision

As a result of the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in the case of the Prince Edward Island potato market- ing schemc, says "The Country, Guide", farm marketing co-operatives in Canada are a good step nearer the goals for which they have been working for many years. The Manitoba farm journal concludes an editdrial review of the decision as follows:

t'Presumably, the next step in the long search for stabilized marketing through co-operatives and provincial marketing boards, will follow further urging bypro- ducer organizations and further consulta-, tion between provincial and Federal gov- ernments. The problem of making pos- sible the practical operation of provincial marketing boards, whose products must find an outlet in inter-provincial and ex- port markets, would not appear to be an! insuperable one. Perhaps it may be neces-, sary to continue the process of trial andl error, in the effort to find a method by which provincial boards can best function

together to the advantage of the producer,-

while at the same time fully safeguarding the public interest. So far, all that appears to have been gained by the Supreme Court decision is validation of the Agricultural Products Marketing Act. 1949, and the right of the Governor-General-in-Council,, under this Act, to delegate marketing pow-: ers in the inter-provincial and export fields to provincial marketing boards."

ing contribution to the debate which has been simmering ever since Great” Britain, through an ovemight for which Mr. Ach- eson has since apologized in the name of the United States Government, failed to be notified in advance of the air attacks on the Yalu power plants.

To prevent such a misunderstanding from arising again, General Clark, the K0- rean commander, and later the U. S. Gov- ernment itself, asked the Commonwealth countries to appoint an officer to act as deputy chief or ranking British officer on General Clark's staff so that it should now be much- easier for the commanding gen-' eral in Korea to learn what responsible British opinion, is thinking and what the reaction in the Commonwealth as a whole is likely to be towards some military stroke he might be planning.

Although the Canadian House of Com- mons has not yet had the chance to dis- cuss this matter, there appears little doubt that Mr. Claxton and Mr. Pearson, the two Ministers primarily concerned, will take the first opportunity to range the Government behind the position as stated by Lord Alex- anden

A further step, suggested by the presence here of Mr. -Alex Hay, constructional engineer and tin-plate maker from "Glasgow, is the possibility of manufacturing here the tin-plate used-in the locally made tins.

Continued depopulation of the Scottish countryside is disclosed by the 1951 census report on towns and villages of Scotland, published" by the Stationery Qffice. It shows that the proportion of people living in the rural areas has decreased in all areas except Peebles, Kirkcudbrlght, and Ross and Cromarty, and that in 22 of the 33 counties the rural population is now less than the urban population. About one person in six is living in a rural area, compared with one in four in 1901.

MAJOR POLLAIID FETED

"On Tuesday morning last the Volunteers and citizens of Char- lottetown and -Southport turned out at an early hour to welcome Major Pollard. the winner of the Nova Scotia Prize Cup, and his nineteen fellow soldiers. who so nobly acquitted themselves at Truro. At half-past six R gun from St. George's battery an- nounced that the steamer West- morland was entering the harbor. immediately after a' guard of honour, consisting of the "Prince of Wales. Dundas, and Irish Rifles. look their position on Pownal Wharf, under the command of Brevet Lleut. Col. Davies. As the steamer passed up close by the Battery, the Artillery fired a salvo. and when she touched the wharf a deafening cheer from the assembled crowd greeted the vie- torious Volunteers.

"They landed at once; the guard presented arms, and the Volunteer Band struck up 'God Save The Queen'. Major Pollard was then conducted to an open carriage, drawn by the City Artillery. pre- ceded by the Band. Beside hlm sat MacLaren, of New Perth; the second best shot. The remaining eighteen Volunteers came next, in A large car, surrounded with flags, Nlrnwn by six of Gates' best horses.

"The Prince of Wales. Dupdau. and Irish Rifles were thrown out an a street guard on both aides of the band and carriages. In this order the procession, with a small detachment of the Volunteer Troop of Cavalry at its head. passed through Queen Street, and down Kent Street to Government House, where His Excellency and Mrs. Dundas were waiting to welcome the firing party. Here the procession halted, when the Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Dundas came forward to, congrat- ulate Major Pollard and his com- pany on their complete success in this their third Inlercolonlal Shooting Match. His Excellency also complimented Mr. MacLaren on the excellent firing he had made at 'l'ruro. and as a token of

his high apprccintinn presented him with a Highland Broad Sword.

"During the day. immense

quantities of com ustlble material were collected on, Queen's Square. which rendered the bonfire at night one of the best we have ever seen in Charlottetown. Flags waved gaily over the city all day, hesldea a string of flags ovcr Pownal Street, from Mr; Purdie's warehouse to Mr. Lord's shop. and another across Kent Street, near Major Pollu'd's." '

Though closing at the end of October, the Commonwealth Gift Centre will leave a legacy of in- creased sympathy and friendship among people in many countries. It was set; up in 1942 to distribute food in bulk sent. to Britain by individuals and organizations over- seas. The value of gifts recelaved, about 310,000,000. represents a great deal of food that must. have been a welcome lament to Britain's austerity diet. Unaffected by this closure, the flow of private par- cels direct to individuals will no doubt. continue.-Ottawa Citizen.

A circle of tombs dating back to the 10th Century BC. discover- ed recently at Mycenae in Greece, may simply proof that Homers writings were based om fact orl may otherwise contribute to the world's oldest literary controversy. The tombs were found near to one believed to be that of Queen Clyt.emnest.ra, sister of Helen of Troy. According to Homer; Cly- temnestra murdered her husband with the help of her lover. Aegis- thus. The discovery at Mycenae of Agamemnonhs tomb, and that. of his brother Menelaus. was claimed at the end of the last century by Dr. Schllemann.Ger- man archaeologist. who devoted his life to proving that I-lomier's stories were based on historical fact. It is hoped now that Aegis- thus' tomb may come to light in the present excavations.-Unesco,

Churchill family has a warm place in American affections, and Mr. Eden is not only this country's friend on his record as a status- man but. a distant cousin through his Maryland ancestors. In Great Britain the news of e engage- ment carries slgpincant overtones. Mr. Eden is regarded as Mr Churchill's political heir and fut- ure leader of the Conservative party. and to Conservatives the engagement must: seem a 'vlvld symbol of the continuing unity and strength of their party lead- ership. All Britons can welcome this alliance. One may suppose, however, that no one'a pleasure approached vMr. Churchill's, when he entertained his niece and Mr. Eden last. week and and in the Quiet. air of Chartwell joined them in planning for the future.-New York Herald Tribune.

g Di-, Leslie Bell, whose leadership in Canadian music has done much to enhance the devdloplng na- tional culture, has some interest- ing things to say about t.une-t.wl.s- ters who have been jazzing up. the classics. In spite of the lack of re- apect which many song arrangprs have shown toward Tennyson, Wordsworth. Burns and Shakes- peare. and toward the works of the music masters. Dr. Bell feels there is little fear that the classics will suffer because of it. In fact. he says the famed-up versions of Chopin. Grieg Debussy and Tach- aikowsky have actually drawn at.- lentlon to the real thing, and as a result record sales of genuine clas- sica have soared. Classics live he- oause there is aomething- eternal about them, and as time goes on it will become even more apparent that the original classic has I more lasting appeal than any of its par- 0diES.-Saint John Telegraph-.)oun nal. ,

H uge Wheat Sales

(Windsor Star)

During the grain year which clos- ed July at, Canada exported more grain than ever before in history. shipments totalled 509,000,000 of wheat. 72.000.000 of oats and '10.- 000.000 of barley.

This was possible because of the

heavy 1051 crop. But. it was done under great difficulties as much of the wheat was damp when harveIt.- ed and, indeed, because of P00! weather conditions much was not harvested until spring. This had an effect on the grades. These figures make it aelf-evld- enl; how much grain, particularly wheat, means to the Onnadinn economy. Forrners :08 01.00 for top grade wheat no the Band of the Lakes; 51.10 for barley and 05 cents for oats. These were the initial pay- ments. and more will be going out to the farmers as the years ac- counts are settled. Much of the wheat was sold at higher than 81.60.

The farmer didn't get all this would auueat. 9 had to accept considerably in: top prion for the lower grade:-of what. And alno to be deduowd were freight charges to the and of the lakes.

when the communists ovei-ran China Dr. '1'. C. Choc. a. scholar of note, was executive head of lichen- ing University in Peking. lie was also a distinguished World Chm- uan. being one of the six president: of the World Oouncll of Churches. It. isn't: likely that he took any ac- tive part in his country's political troubles. If Chinese students are- anythlns like our own, and they probably are, hf: time would be pretty much occupied in ha office and class rooms with very little left for political theorizing.

If they could im- prove the lot of the Chinese people. as they claimed. so much the better. All he wanted for himself was to be ,lel't. alone to carry out his duties as an educator and admlnlstuuor. He could do this, he thought. as well under one government as another.

For time the new rulers of China interfered very little with Dr. O'hIo's private or public life. In- deed, they showed him respect and civility. so long as he minded his

After all, one's political views were one's can con- cern. If some of the faculty and students felt like banding together in that way he could-see no great harm in it. ' As a matter of fact Dr. Ohao himself liked some of the doctrines the Communists preached. Gov- ernment reform, better living con- ditions, equal opportunities for the Young. and no on, These were things, he said to himself, which any christian educator would wel- come if they could be brought a- bout. Meanwhlle he went on n- boul: his work. i 4 To make this part of the story short as possible. the upshot was that! In due time Dr: Chno became a communist in the belief that he could support the political and econ- omic systems of Communism and yet remain a. member of the World- wide Christian community. This was Dr. Chan's view but it was not the vi-.w of the new mac- ters of China. !n one way, and an- other they managed to persuade the learned president of Yenching that the World Council of Cllurches was being used "as a tool of Amer- ican and British Imperiallsts for the furtherance of their plans of world aazftresslon". Now, if there is anvthing less aggressive (in any matter) than thr- World Council of Churches I should like to see it, for that would be I rare curiosity indeed. Anyway. Dr. Chao believed what he was told and. rather than hurt China in anv way. resigned from the Council and thus severed the only visible. link he had had with his fellow Christ- iana in other parts of the world. That was little over a year ago. ' The breaking of this link must have hurt Dr. Ohao deeply for he had always held a world view of the Christian lni G .p5rsonIl- i for the good of
