The Christmas Spirit

It is impossible to ignore the impact which materialism has made on our times; and the escularization of Christmas has gone far beyond its legitimate limits. Yet, here and there in the news is an item that proves that the real spirit of Christ- mas, manifested by deeds of self- lessness and charity, is still alive in the world. There is that little item from Chesley, Ontario, for instance. which tells how the residents of that town cancelled a Christmas concert scheduled for tonight in ender that they might all get busy and do something tangible for one of their number whose wife and three children died when fire de- sbroyed their home. A note from the mayor of the town says that everybody in the community of 1700 wanted to help John Thomp- son and other members of the fam- ily who survived the night of grief and horror. '

Surely, this is something worth r moording. It is a specific application of Christian faith and doctrine. In helping an unfortunate fellow-citi- zen, the residents of Chesley have done honour to themselves-yes, and glory to Him who said: "Inas- much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it V unto Me". This is Christian com- ; passion of the highest sort. It an-

swers the question: "And who is my neighbour?"

Yes, the world is beset with I Imany evil things these days. The hard hand of exaggerated secular- ism lies heavily on human relations in almost every department of life. There is cynicism on every side. In some measure, fear has taken hold G of us all. Many thoughtfuliminds wonder whether the human race is

. ! destined to fall and perish from the

destructive power of its own inven-

tions. Yet. as long as the entire pop-

ulation of a town can find it in their ' hearts to rush tap the aid of a fel- al, low-citizen in distress. the tender l I

l leaves of hope will continue to blos- som in the garden of manls life on l; the earth, All the alarming news Ixlthat the wires can send across our ways is powerless to dim the glory of one such act of goodness by the Chesleyites of the world.

India's Reaction

Now that the Russian leaders have returned home after their free-spending tour of India. much speculation is going on in Western poluu-al r-lrclcs over what they may or mnv not have accomplished in the lllItII'0b'lS of Soviet. slI'aiogy. As in rw'l;v instance where the Asia- tic pr-oplcs have been brought under prvxstire from outside--tho SEATO part being one such instance--tlin chief cause of alixivty is uni-vrtaiuty about India's t'r-action.

in a recent Issue, one thing seems perfectly clear: there is less assur- ance than there was before the Rus- aians' Indian jaunt of India's siding with the West in the event of war. And it is fairly clear than even the neutrality which Mr. Nehru has been preaching in season and out out of season for years has taken on an air of uncertainty.

About A Hal

There's important news from London; and it has nothing to do with the cold war. the Middle East crisis, or the hydrogen bomb. It's all about a hat, the one that has been used in the House of Commons for more than a half century. And what is the hat used for? For a very important purpose, indeed. By tradition. which in Britain is as binding as the strongest law. a member must don the official head- gear whenever he asks Mr. Speaker questions during lvoting time. There's only one hat; small wonder if It is in a battered condition after being passed from head to head every day for fifty years.

The decision to buy a new one was not arrived at hastily, however. That would have been most unseem- ly in a chamber noted for prolonged consideration of serious questions. especially about matters the origins of which go back to the formative years of Britain's greatness. And, even when the majority had voted in favour of the purchase, the old hat had to be passed to Mr. Speaker for final inspection before taking up its resting place in the archives of history. That formality having been complied with, the next ques- tion was whether funds should be allocated for the new hat. This could not be decided on overnight, so adjoumment was taken. Before the debate was due to he resumed. the Federation of Felt. I-lat Manu- facturers informed the House that it would supply the hat free of charge, despite the Government's recent action in increasing the sales tax on hats.

A lot of fuss about nothing! There would be good reason for saying so. Yet. perhaps there is bet- ter reason-though it would be difficult to put it into words-for congratulating the Commons on taking time out from discussing weighty matters of the present to pay homage, in a characteristically round-about way, to an old in- stitution that has managed to sur- vive the modern tendency to dis- rparage anything that is not "prac- -tical."

EDITORIAL NOTES

It does not take much to set lPremier Smallwood travelling, es- pecially if the trip is likely to result in new business for Newfoundland. By the end of the year. therefore. he is almost certain to be on his way to Tokyo. in response to an in- vitation from the Japanese Am- bassador to Canada to visit that country. 0 O I F.l'l(IPl1II)', Agriculture Minister (larrllncr does not subscribe to the

I

popular lwliof that "figures don't lie." lie is still clinging to his view that there is no butter surplus in this country, despite the huge fig- urcs released by business agencies. some day. perhaps, Mr. Gardiner will publish his own definition of the word ”surpIus”.

THE MORE. THE MERRIER

it,-Rather critical comment tom the press and interested private citizens has greeted llhe recent report of the Canadian Tamiff Board on the potato tariff investigation. Suoh comment ap- pearing at this time oould provs somewhat prejudicial to the main issue. It would almost appear from some of the criticisms that the whole question of tariff re- adjustment has been settled with the Board's report. Nothing could be more misleading. The Board has been a fact finding organiz- ation and its terms of reference did not provide for any recom- mandatlons. The report has been placed in the hands of the Fed- eral Government and the respon- sibility for action rests with that body. Based on the report there is every reason to expect that the Governlrnent will make approp- riate recommendations to Parlia- ment during the coming session that the potato industry of Can- nda be placed on a more equit- able basis as far as tariff is con- corned.

I have scrutinized the report of HIe”Fariff Board very closely and kankly I do not see any grave amuse for alarm or pessimism in the statement. The material that was presented by the Canadian Horticultural Council and other representative potato interests was of an all embracing nature. and the Board was informed at the time that any fucrtther data required would be submitted dn request. Further details were later presented and in addition Board representatives made their own investigations beyond the material submitted. The facts thin presented fully detailed the various conditions than affected the Canadian potato pnoduccr mdor present day operation.

A scrutiny of the report would hdicate that bhese facts have been substantiated to a very large degree. In a few instances the Board has not entirely agreed with the rcprescmtaliions, but this is to be expected from an in- dependent cnmmlssion. In a. very wide and exhaustive examination of the matters at issue there is 8 very general acceptance however of the materials involved in the briefs.

While not ariempring to an- alyse in full the Board's state- ment as the report has already been summarized through the Guardian. I would like to make one or two comments on certain portions of thereof. The sugges lion in the report that the loss of the seed potato trade in the United States would be disastrous to this Province has brought forth most of the adverse criti-
