Then he launched an outspoken attack cm tho Coerrnimist ideology.

Communism was a. "fanatical inovcmcnt" and a, "propngandist creed" vrllluh sought to force itself on other countries.

"Tlhose people who deny human rights. have no right to claim they are in the van of hultnan progress. The only van they are in is the police van.

“In the field of hmnan rights today Russia is right at the back of the queue."

Referring to Russian efforts to brealk dow-n the Marshall plan for altl to European recovery, the Pri-ne Minister said he could not understand how people could . op- pose it when they "had nothing to put in its place" unless they "ere prepared to march to the realizat- ion of their ideas through the death and starvation of millions."

Atilee indirectly challenged Ohurchllfs plea for a speedy east- west diplomatic showdown.

The Prime Minister said Britain planned "to get the idea (Western European unity) formulated and propagated and then, through can- vcrsatlons, to build up support for it. rather uhan have some kind oi drzr-natic gathering with a con- crete plan in which all the difficul- ties would come out."

Churchill urged action now. He said that bylakmg the initiative in seeking a settlevnent with Russia the Western powers would be fol- lowing a course that offered the “best chance of preventing war."

Churchill said the present tense world situation cannot last and re- ceived an ovation when he dczlar-

Cchoollmprovement Leagui Addressed By llr. Murchison

The School. Improvement League at a recent meeting had for their

"speaker Dr. Murchison, superin-

tendent of Falconwood Hospital, who was introduced to the thirty- tlve members present by Mrs. I-I. J. A. Brown. Dr. Murchison re- ferred to the obvious interest that was shown in the children's wei- fare by the various women's soci- eties, mentioning school improve- ments, and the Arts and Crafts Centre. .

The varied types of tnental de- ficiency were discussed and item- ized in groups shown on prepared charts by Dr. Murchison. He em- phasized the compleie difference between mental deficiency and mental illness; one must not bc confused with the other. intelli- gence rating was c-f consiflcrablln help, to be obtained by approved methods and showed the average age of the mind. The need for specially trained teachers to teach and help mentally deficient’ people to become useful citizens were highly stressed. Mental deficiency was tho result oflncomplete men- tal growth. or lack of mind. but such affected children can be

trained to do useful work to the benefit of the community and themselves.

Prevention, treatment, and gen- eral care was described in detail. and the need for a training cen- tre here on Prince Edward Island was emphasized as n necessity.

Opportunity classes in the vhools were a step in the right direction, said Dr. Murchison. but this did not care for those that were physically handicapped and these should be the concern of every department, educational. health and social welfare. At the conclusion of his ex- tremely interesting talk, Dr. Mur- chison was kept very busy answer- ing many questions.’ Mrs. Leonard McDonald who was chairman for the_ evening. called on Mrs. J. W. McKenzie who thanked Dr. Murchison for his talk and sold that the work and preparation involved was re- allzed. and much appreciated. Mrs. J. P. Lantz reported for the Art Committee and said that. pictures had been exchanged be- tween schcols. Mrs. “RE. Bountie- hury spoke for the High School committee giving the speakers for the forthcoming lvceks as follows: Mrs. Leo Frank. Mr. Cur-ts, Mrs Allison Machdlllan zlutl ending with Dr. G. D.
