The German chesshmnl

The Kremlin's note to the western Big Three proposing early talks on the futurc of Germany have made it painfully clear during the last few days that the next move is up to the democracies. Reaction to the Russian proposal in Germany itself has been such that there seems little like- lihood of maintaining indefinitely the status quo. The promise. however ephemeral, of a reunited Reich, appears in German eyes to overshadow in importance all other con- siderations.

It is tempting to dismiss the Soviet note as but another attempt to thwart the political. military and economic integration of the West German Republic with the de- fensive alliance of the North Atlantic Treaty countries. The wave of popular enthusiasm which it has evoked in West Germany, it is true, suggests that the prospect of enlisting German divisions in the NATO army is now more remote than ever. The significant feature of the Soviet proposal, however. is that it embodies pro- visions for German rearmament without any commitments for participation in a de- fensive alliance. This undoubtedly has a potent appeal to nationalist sentiments in West Germany. '

Sober reflection suggests that the long- term objective of Soviet strategy may well be but the ill-fated Ribbentrop diplomacy in reverse. Hitler, it will be recalled, prior to the outbreak of hostilities in World War II, concluded an economic and dc- fensive alliance with Russia. The Krem- lin's objective may well be to fill the power vacuum of central Europe with a new Ger- man colossus, and then to conclude with Germany the same sort of opportunist agreement as that negotiated by Ribben- trop in 1939.

Soviet imperialism would experience lit- tie difficulty in selling German Communism: down the river for the sake of creating at new, remilitarized Germany whose mere presence on the political map of Europe would be sufficient to break the east-west deadlock with advantage to the Kremlin. which would then have a free hamd for tag- gressive adventures elsewhere.

A Worthy cause

The Easter play under the auspices of the St. Charles Auxiliary Society is being presented this afternoon and evening at the Prince Edward Theatre in aid of the Char- lottetown Hospital. This entertainment has been a regular annual feature for more than sixty years. and has never failed to draw large and appreciative audiences. This year's presentation is a hilarious comedy. "Maid of Money”, and will be supplement- ed by seven enjoyable specialties, the whole being under the veteran direction of Mr. J. Austin Trainor. C.D.A.. who has served in this capacity for over forty years.

It is not necessary here to enlarge upon the splendid service given by the Char- lottetown Hospital, which has recently been very grcatly enlarged and which new ranks among the finest institutions oftits kind in Eastern Canada. Today's benefit per- formance affords an opportunity of show- in:: public appreciation. but it will also give excellent entertainment value and- on both counts can be warmly recommended.

They Know lot

The amount of trouble in the world caused by malice is very little indeed com- pared with that resulting from oignorance. It is not usual in human nature to delib- erately do wrong. especially to the detri- ment of our fellow man, but to mistake wrong for right and follow it despite dis- astrous consequences is all too common.

It has become a habit to blame science for much that has happened and is threat- ened to-the human race, as though the knowledge acquired by use of scientific methods brought our troubles. The con- trary ls theocasc. it is not the knowing how to fly or make an atomic bomb that brings danger of war. Rather it is fail- ure to learn the technique of living peace- fully together ln a world In which the most distant countries are like next-door neigh-

Farmers are not complaining about their five million dollar increase in cash income last year, but what they are concerned about is the maintenance of a steady re- munerative market for their produce from now on. and this connotes suitable trans- portation as well as orderly production of first class roots and livestock. not to men- tion dairy supplies. Our soil is rich and productive. and when well-managed and regulated can provide worthwhile revenue to our farmers. But Government super- vision is necessary to keep the land own- ers and eultivators in the line of progr'ess.l

Mr. J. Angus MacLean. M.P., has done well in drawing 'att:ention of the Federal Government to the neglect of this Province in the distribution of the Maritime Marsh- land Rehabilitation grant.

ROADS 6: TOURIST PUBLICITY

Sir.-I wish to congratulate Mr. Robert Holman on his excellent letter which appeared in The Guardian of the 10th April. For several years as the tourist season approached I have had the urge to u'rn.c. pointing out the very foolish policy of advertising conditions as they are not. Mr. Holman has covered the field so thoroughly. that there is not much left to write. I feel sure. however. he must have omitted to read an advertisement which nppenrcd in the Montreal star. last. summer. painting Prince Edward Island in glowing colors. Reading further 1 could scarcely believe my eyes, when I saw in much larger print the words-"Good Roads"-this at a time when roads were barely passable. I, like Mr. Holman. know what. good roads are like-having driven a car for many years before com- ing to Prince Edward Island: and I can assure you that. by no stretch of the imagination could they ever be described as good. Let. me tell you of this instance which happened to me one even- ing last summer. A gentleman came looking for accomm d tion. As he turned to park his car. he remarked to my husband who was standing near. that there was no late crossing of the Ferry. We as- sured hlm that there was. On finding he was not compelled to stay overnight. he paused only long enough to give vent to his feelings. He was a very wrathful tourist. indeed. and after asking why he wasn't. warned about the roads. said after all he was not on a goodwill tour, but "on a vacation". The only thing he could compare the Island roads with was his experience on the Burma Road during the war: and if he did not get off the island fast. he would have no car leftl No doubt there was one tourist who warned everyone he met. to stay off P. E. Island-and who could blame him? I find that honesty is always the best. policy and many a tourist I have directed to the clean white sand and waters of the North Shore; much as it hurt. tbelng a Scot.) Do let. us paint things as they really are. and though we may lose temporarily. we shall in the and gain the confidence of the travelling public and build a solid and enduring industry. I am, Sir. et.c..

A NEW VISION

Sir.-A retired business man in the City of Montreal has discov- ered something of great value. that. should interest every loy- man.

The bit of truth that I speak of is. that the only way that the rank and file of church ndhprento can give themselves to God in is way that is pleasing to our Lord and Msster is in our every day calling. or vocation. Mr. W. H. Goodwin, in's booklet that he has proposed tells of one or two in the profusion of music. such so Rol- and Hayes, tho coloured singer. who would open his concerts with prayer, asking that race hatred be forgotten and that the people may feel the spirit of God flowing through the melody.

A reporter for the New York Times said. '1 sow I miracle in Town Hall. Half the people block. hslf white. one mood hold them while tho song lsstod.

Referring to Mr. Goodwin again. He does not. stop at talking about what. others have done. he does things himself. Just after World War Two began. he contacted two medical doctois and laid before them the idea of the sickness of the world. particularly of the people where most suffering and disease exists, as being the re- sponsibility of the medical profes- son. -

Although the faith of those two doctors was not very strong. they. Dr. V5 F. Hamilton and pr. l-lorry Shaw. arranged for Mr. Goodwin to present. his views before a group at a supper meeting. This was followed by a larger number, some eighty medical men. msny inter- nationally famous. and addressed by Dr. Edward H. l-fume of ' New York. a medical missionary to china for 20 years. He made them proud of their profession. other names thst appear in the story are. Dr. Clarence Routley, the secretary of Canadian Medical As- sociation. Dr. A. H. Gordon. Dr. " b" McLurc of missionary fame, Dr. M rlnott. Dr. C. P. M rtln. professor of anatomy. Dr. red Goes. the latter two loading in prayer and reading Scripture be- fore a full auditorium in Mont- real. and Dr. Wilder Pcnfieid. the famous neurologist.

A World Medical Association is now launched. and Dr. Routley is quoted as saying. it. now looks out on the world full of hops and on- tlctpotlon.

with great power. He writes with the authority of s. man who has

experienced all the which he describes. Ho answers the question which bothers o great many people: "What is Communism about?" This is whst he ssys:

"Like all powerful fslths. its force derives from s simple vision. other ages have had great visions. They have always been dlffordnt. versions of the some vision: the vision of God and man's relation- ship to God. The Communist vision is the vision of man without God. It is the vision of man's mind dis- placing God as the creative intell- grnce of the world. It is the vision of man's liberated mind. by the mere force of its rstlonsl intell- gencr. redirecting man's destiny and reorganizing man's life in the world."

Chambers sums up the vitality nnd power of the Comunlots in this terrible psrsgrsph:- "Their pow- ei. whose nature bsfnes tho root of the world. because in s ls:-no measure the rest of the world has lost. that power. is the powor to hold convictions snd to act upon them. Communists are that port of mankind which has rocovored the power to live or die-to hoot wit- ness-for its faith."

We feel that there has rarely been o harsher condomnstlon of modem msn than -this-'t.ho root of the world has lost.-tho power to hold convictions and to act upon them".
