Still Very Timely

Our attention has been called to an address prepared a quarter of century ago by the late Hon. Cyrus J . Macmillan. Ph.D., one of our par- liamentary members for Queens and an educationist of nation-wide re- pute. It was given on the 75th an- niversary of the Confederation Con- ference in Charlottetown, and it con- tains many thoughts that are of timely interest today.

One of the points which impress- ed us relates to the glowing pros- pects held out to the Maritimes at Confederation, in the development of interprovincial trade. exchange and barter, to atone for the loss of for- eign markets. Our products “of mine and farm and sea and forest" would find a welcome and boundless market in the Central Provinces. The balance of trade between us would be a real balance. not an ad- verse balance to the Maritimes of many millions as the record. unfor- tunately. discloses.

The products of Central and Western Canada were to pour in an endless and ever-swelling stream through our Atlantic ports on their overseas journey. The transport- ation system and service with the rest of Canada were to be abundantr ly adequate and efficient for all the Maritime Provinces. The makers of Confederation believed with Aris- totle that “justice is the interest of all.” and planned according- ly. But we know that their sanguin- ary expectations fell far short of achievement in this part of Canada.

“Perhaps.” said Dr. Macmillan in 1939. “the Maritime Provinces them- selves have not been sufficiently in- sistent on this fact. Their voices have at times been subdued even to the note of the apologetic and have not always been in harmony. And too often they have kindled inef- fectual fires. But with all the doubts and disappointments. Confederation has proved the wisdom of its makers seventy-five years ago. The path of progress has not always been easy. but it has stood many a strain. It has justified its founders’ faith and will endure. To create it, each of its parts had to sacrifice much and to risk much. but the resultant values have been worth the cost.”

This is still our Prince Edward Island credo. Would that its im- plications could sink into the minds of the more clamorous apostles of nationalism. separatism and what» not in other parts of the country at this timel

Ominous Resurgence

The Ku Klux Klan has been get- ting wide attention in American newspapers of late. and it is report- ed that US. federal and state of- ficials are becoming increasingly concerned over the resurgence of the organization in the south. It is one of three extremist groups which moderate Republicans sought unsuc- cessfully to have condemned by name in their party’s platform at the San Francisco convention.

In the past. the klans have been fragmented groups competing against each other. There were oc. casional outrages committeed by individual klansmen and generally decried by kian leaders. Their hood- ed and grotesque appearances at rit- ualistic rallies were almost comic. But today. there is nothing funny (bout them.

‘ They are still fragmented, but there is evidence of cooperation and growth and a “power grab" by more violent leaders. And accord- hgtioa Washington Post correspond-

7

ant. there are other more ominous signs. The klans are becoming more bellicose. more militant. Many klansmen are armed to the teeth. Leaders have directed engagements against civil rights demonstrators and others. For the first time in years, there is a real feeling that the kian is becoming a terrorist movement.

History records that the original kian was started at Pulaski, Ten- nessee. in 1865 at a social club and the hoods and ritual were a sort of joke. But it branched out quickly into a terrorist organization against reconstruction governments. It helped turn the south back to white control through intimidation and worse. It lapsed into dormancy when whites, through legal expedi- ents that have begun to crumble only in the recent years of this century. closed the polls and political offices to Negroes.

The kian revived to "save" the nation again in the 1920's, embrac- ing a broad range of prejudices that included hate campaigns against Negroes. Jews. Catholics and aliens. It was strongest in Colorado. In- diana. Ohio. Oregon. Texas, West Virginia and Alabama and, at its zenith, controlled many public of- fices. But again it seemed to die out.

Following World War Two. the kian enjoyed a small revival when the Supreme Court outlawed white primaries and segregation in inter- state travel. Today, sources that have infiltrated the kian discount the flamboyant estimates of mem- bership made by klansmen. These sources estimate a total member- ship now of about 75.000. But the kian is reportedly recruiting intense- ly. not only in the south but in some northern states.

It represents something that our American neighbors have a right to view with grave misgivings.

Tokyo Prepares

With the Olympic games less than three months away, excitement in Tokyo is said to be mounting to fever pitch. The Japanese are deter- mined to make this the biggest event of its kind in history.

The fruits of almost two billion dollars of spending for improvements are starting to show. New high- ways are beginning to alleviate traf- fic jams. Graceful buildings have arisen from unsightly construction sites. Attractive plazas and parks are appearing where piles of rubble and earth stood only recently. Many new hotels. including a l7-story. 1,100-room structure. will open in September. A record number of 130.000 foreign visitors. as well as 10.000 athletes and games officials. is expected.

Tokyo was originally scheduled to become the first Asian city to stage the Olympics in 1940. But World War Two intervened and it has taken 24 years more for the Japanese dream to materialize. Now it is planned to put the whole country on show. Special stamps and medals already have been is- sued, and the Olympic theme is dominant.

Hundreds of thousands of Jap- anese are studying English and other languages so they can help foreign visitors. Stores are prepar- ing elaborate programs to lure shop- pers. Industries have vied with one another in supplying products to be used in staging the games. housing the athletes or decorating the capital.

There is a lesson to be learned from the enthuaisas'm with which the Japanese tackle every under- taking. and this is a striking case in point.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The catch of sea fish and shell- fish in the Atlantic Provinces de- creased 12.3 per cent in June to 108.761.000 pounds from 226,619.- 000 pounds in the corresponding month last year. according to an Ottawa report. The landed value eased down l.l per cent to $12,686,- 000 from 312,822,000.

To be commended is the special inquiry to be set up by the end of the month in the House of Com- mons. to recommend ways of limit- ing election campaign spending by political parties. The study. fore- cast in the Throne Speech at the opening of Parliament last February. will mean postponing further action on proposed changes to the Canada Elections Act until a report is made to the state secretary. Even so, it will be worth waiting for.

It was quite a natural course for the local bodies to initiate. for the removal of the federal agency would mean a consider- able economic loss to the com- munity where it has been locat- ed for many years. and in what had from the time of its estab- lishment been considered an ideal location to serve the needs of the taming industry in the Marliimes.
