But, he said, this did not preclude other arrangements be- ing made. We would be entitled to ask i'or further amounts that might be necessary for the preservation of adequate standards of public service and these requests would be duly considered. Our hope then would seem to lie in the aggressive nature of the representations our federal and provincial spokesmen are able to make. It all gets back to the question of electing the right men

for the job.

Victoria Day

On Monday we celebrate the Queen's birthday, which actually falls in April but has been fixed of- ficially to coincide with Victoria I)ay, the Monday preceding May 25. It's I little confusing. because Victoria Day, formerly observed on the 24th in honour of Queen Victoria's birth- day, was later changed to coincide with Empire Day which we no longer celebrate as such. Throughout the Commonwealth of today any rever- ence for imperial power in the old sense is clearly out of date. There is no reason, however, for us to be ashamed of the fact that Canada is British, and that our ties with the motherland, though less obvious, are

still strong in sentiment.

In every Commonwealth country the traditions of Britain have taken root. Parliamentary democracy is the guiding principle of all their gov- ernments. The rights of an English- man-jury trial. habeas corpus, free- dom of thought and speech and as- sembly-now are the rights of all their citizens. The welfare of each individual is important. It is signifi- cant that South Africa, in which these traditions of freedom and equ-

Vality are most aggressively threaten-

ed, is more likely than any other member to withdraw from the Com- monwealth.

Monday's anniversary is a day for renewing our allegiance to the ideals we shdre in common under the Crown. It is a day for turning it friendly face to our Commonwealth comrades who share them, and per- haps of gaining a more sympathetic insight into their problems and dif- ficulties. We have little cause for complacency in this regard. We are providentially situated in this coun- try. but our good fortune should in- ire us with gratitude rather than with pride. .

Failure Of The Soil Bank

from time to time the mggestion i made that the Canadian Govern-

-L 31!! should adopt a "soil bank"

similar to the one that has operating in the United states This is I

'l'hlIhuIlreIdybeeneuttoS600 million, pending final decision by Congress on its future.

The chief complaint against the plan is that it is unpopular with the non-farming section of the popula- tion which sees in it. to quote from the Committee's report, ”a means of giving the farmer something for nothing”. Nor is it favourably re- garded by a large number of the farmers themselves who, in the best tradition of tillers of the soil, believe that land was meant to be used and made as productive as possible. Another complaint is that it does not appear to be reaching its stated ohjcctive. This. again to quote from the report. is because "while, on the one hand. the Government recom- mends spending vast sums of money to remove land from production, at the same time it proposes to expand research and educational activities to further increase yields. As it advocates reduced yproduction. it then provides the greatest incentive to iiicri-using production-reduced acreage and reduced prices".

Th e s c tcchnical considerations apart, it ii.-irdly seems right that millions of acres of good land should be kept out of production for any reason whatsoever so long as more than half of the world's population is undcrfed and at least one-third is in a perpetual state of semi-siarva- tion. There surely must be a more practical way of dealing with agric- ultural problems.

Sale Driving Tests

The. teen-age driver, long the menace of the highway, may soon be teaching his elders something of safe driving. Good-driving maxims

are being instilled all this month in I

some 2,300 young drivers in Road- E-Os which are being held in various Maritime centres under the sponsor- ship of the Junior Chamber of Com- merce and Imperial Oil Limited. Ex- aminers are emphasizing knowledge of driving rules in written and oral tests. Practical driving is demon- strated in the difficult road tests in- volving ”straight line" driving, "ser- pentine" driving forward and back- ward around steel drums. precision Stoppins: and parallel parking.

()n the basis of over-all safe- driving ability, winners of local Road-E-Os will receive awards and will represent their communities in the Maritime finals at Saint John on June 8. Two will go on from this competition to the national finals in London, Ont., June 12-14 in which the winners will share 51.750 in scholarships.

In Charlottetown the Road-E-O takes place at the Airport today, and it is hoped our citizens will show their interest by turning out in good- ly numbers.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It is encouraging to hear from the Provincial Department of Health that the current immunization pro- gram is receiving I satisfactory mea- sure of support. Anti-polio inocula- lions are especially important. No child should be left unprotected.

Mr. J. Lincoln Dewar will ably represent the Province on the Com- mittee of APEC which will inquire into commercial opportunities at the

Labrador. Great quantities of food and other necessities are consumed at these bases. It would seem only reasonable for Maritime producers to have a goodly share in the supply- ing arrangements. 0 O 0

One thing seems certain. There is to be no P.E.I. Tartan. "I am sternly pointing out,” wrote the King of Arms to the Secretary of our Caledonian Club. "that these propos- als (advocating tartan: for prov- inces, town. colleges, etc.) are con- trary to the whole concept of the tartan as I clan cognizance and thoroughly un-Scottish". There is nothing more to be said. That word "sternly" has settled the Irpiment once Ind for Ill.

NITEI) KINGDOM OPINION

?" l:ilksOWiih Adenpur

By ”0nlookt-r" Thomson Ne-uaipapers London, England Bureau

II a r ol d Macniillan. Britain's much-travelling Prime Minister. has just returned from a thrce- day visit Comet transport Jctplanet In Wes- tern Germany, and came back

with I host of good words about . the country. But his remarks caus- v i the only exhibitors to offer com-

ed little i-xcilcnicnt among the Bri- ton-in-thc-sircct. Macmillan 'has

long been knoun as a supporter I of (he Free Trade .ilmz-mt-nt with- i

in Europe - including Western

Germany.

In fact, he is putting on a heavy wining ..ct towards the half-na- lion Western Germany represents- Neverthcless. it will take many more words from him before the HVETBEC ITIHII Ind WOIIIBII OTC? here overcomes antipathy towards Germany. Or say apathy. The majority of Bri- tons had to think I lot about Ger- many during two phases of their lives - between H314 and 1918, and between i939 and 1945. No mat- ter how politicians hold forth about the need for unity, and alliance. Ind common front. and common market there is that considerable mailer of human nature to over- come.

.I can bet. in fact, that of every five Britons you approach there would be four who would hesitate if Inked whether they did want closer ties with Germany - even

the "non-Communist" part in the .

West. That is the main obstacle Macmillan must overcome. and it

will take longer than it takes I l

treaty to be drawn up before he "sells" the idea to Britain and the British.

This antipathy. or apatliy. is If factor which both Government speakers Ind Opposition speakers over here refer to only rarely, But it exists in no mean measure.

Macmlllan's trip had as its main purpose I series of talks with the West German leader Adenauer to convince him that although some l.'l,000 of Britain": 80.000 troops on the Continent will he pulled out soon it will not mean that Bri- tain is leaving her European main- land allies on their own. Germany has just received I warning from Russian leaders that if any fu- lure war took plIce it would be Germany that would he the battle-

field - and Germany knows what ,

being I batilcfied means. Macmillan has been trying to convince the Germans that thanks to the increased use of more effic- ient weapons. the 1.1.000 man will

not be missed. That may be --- prn- i vlded the new weapons (in come ,

alnnz. Come along they will. but not before the 1.1.000 pull mil.

Where Macmillan knows he has the British people behind him is In this insistence that the British forces in Germany should be whit- tled down. But he leaves behind some resentment that the British arms cuts were decided before her allies of N,A.T.0- and the WM- tern European Union were fully consulted. PA8SING PHASE

This resentment. however. is looked upon II I passinu phase by British planners. it is highly likely now tliIt Britain will take I more Ictive part in ”EurItom." the scheme for Itomle develop-

lift a "showing-tlic-flag" i

perhaps I would,

l eye on trade as well II she does

this: Britain leads Europe in the application of atomic energy, pre- sent and potential. for peIce-time purposes. And It I trade fair in Europe last month the British were

plete atomic power plants for sale. ENCOURAGING

While Macmillan has been away. it has been all quiet on the home industrial front. An encouraging feature was the acceptance of I weekly rise of 81.56 inIteId of SL1! by the huge Amalgamated Engl- neering Union. It mIy sound strange to say that the tskinx of I bigger rise is encouraging, but in this case it II.

The 31.21 was offered "without string". the 31.56 "with strings" - including I wage standstill, and the assurance that the trade un- ions would co-operate in evolving new schemes of lnduIt.rlIl rulI- tions. It is I sign. too, that tho more moderstc-minded men In gettting I hearing in the council of the trade unions- Too often since the war has the Briton. whose forefathers founded and died for the trade union principle. allowed extreme left-wingers - including Communists - to gain control of the big unions. it was the rank- Ind-filcs own fault. Attendances It union meetings (except perhaps when strikes or pay were being discussed! were poor in the past. Now there does seem to be I more sober approach to industrial re- lations growing over here. It is in its early stages yet. but it is promising. .

BIG DOWN. LITTLE U

in one branch of British indus- try. the go-ahead IircrIft section, it has been I week on I bl; down Ind I little up.

The big down came when Amer- icas' Capital Airlines Innounced that it will not now take the 15 Viscount: is ordered from Bri- tain's Vickers works Ind thIt is has deferred plans for taking II de Havllland Comet Airliners.
