Members of the committee suggested that one method of curbing the enthusiasm of government departments for sending out reports and publicity materials would be to require them to pay postage on these ma- terials out of department estimates. As it

is now, government offices in Ottawa can

We then undertook to organize our own, delivery service by means of trucks, andl had the assurance of the Postmaster Gen- eral and his Deputy that if we provided an efficient service, The Guardian would re- ceive a contract to carry the mails in ad- dition to The Guardian. Our delivery serv- ice was organized to cover the whole Is- land, and our contract for His Majesty's

Meantime, the Railway which hitherto had stood in the way of a morning service to eastern and southern King's, decided that such a service was not only desirable but necessary. It was a reflection on the Rail- way administration that a private firm could cover the Island daily for-the con- venience of its patrons whereas a national organization had failed to do so.

The Colombo Plan

rBy B. P. Klrtliisinghe) I The ncolcmbo Plan represents a revolutionary conception for the betterment. of South-East Asia, which includes the territories of India. Pakistan. Burma, Malaya and C8yl0ll.'bY C0.-Operative inter- natzonal action of the free world. its purpose is to regenerate the backward economics of these na-

tions by giving them fin- ancial and technical assistance, thereby llroviding opportunities

for raising the living standards of the peoples of these lands.

The month of July is a memor- able one in the history of the Col- ombo Plan. Though the plan of. ticlnlly began on 1 December. 1950 with the establishment of the Council of Technical Co-operation in S. E. Asia. action with regard to tcclmit-nl assistance was init- iated as early as July 1950. barely seven months after the conceptloii of the Plan at the Commonwealth Ministers meeting on foreign af- fairs held in Colombo in January 1950. where Rt. Hon. Mr. Lester Pearson. late Mr. Bevin, Pundit Nehru were among the foreign ministers present at. this memor- able conference. And now.the cc-

(In early days -it required the service of many hands to thicken or full the cloth. alter the wool had been waslird, leased, curded, spun and weaved. before the tailor could manufacture it into clothing. This operation was performed at thickening frolics. in which the whole community participated. A detailed description of such a fro- lic was quolcd in this column some time ago. from an article by the late Senator Ferguson. The Senator indeed wrote indignantly about "the sscrilcgious fulling- mill." which put an end to this oldtime combination of chore and entertainment.

Young people like. their elders are now suffering in many cases from too much leisure. Working days are short. In vain are wages raised. they do not suffice to pay for amusements. That is why so many young people who have not been brought up in the slums and have never known poverty end up by committing armed robbery. There is in the heart of all youth the taste for adventure, the thirst. for the unforeseen and the un- known. Under the State-Providence system the bureaucracy paralyzes it by guiding it by the hand, not only at the beginning of life but throughout its existence. The young man thus loses all chance to become an energetic member of society. He is in great danger Of becoming a heavy burden upon it.

In making this announcement, The Guardian wishes to add its appreciation of all the efforts made by innumerable friends on its behalf at this critical juncture, in- cluding the Postmaster General, Deputy Postmaster General, Director of Commun- ications, the President of the Canadian National Railways, Mr. F. A. Gaffney, Chief of Transport Research, Premier J. Walter Jones and the Provincial Govern- ment, and a host of others too numerous to mention. It has been a long hard fight to get an Island-length morning daily post service. but its realization is the best re- ward for our joint endeavours.

A Good Example

l-lighly creditable to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics is the fact that it has managed to eliminate about 60 reports from the approximately 500 reports it has been publishing, thus affecting a saving of about 3',-i1f)(l,t)tl(l a year to Canadian taxpay- ers. In other departments as well, the field of Government publications is one which offers an enticing prospect of possible econ- omics. During the current year the print- ing of departmental reports and other pub- lications will cost 06,174,309. This figure does not include the salaries of the various civil servants and publicity agents engaged in the work. I

The Dominion Government. is currently: building a printing plant which, it is est- imated, will cost in the neighbourhood of 613,000,000. One of the reasons for erect- ing this giant plant was undoubtedly the; large volume of printing demanded by var-' ious departments and agencies for their re- ports and handbooks.

The Senate finance committee which in-i vestigated government spending some; months ago was disturbed by the volume of; official reports and publicity. Members: questioned the value of many of the reports that were being sent out by government departments. Senator John T. Halg said: "I may be different from other people but these reports keep coming to my desk, and to be quite honest. I neved read them and I do not know any one else who reads them.

Countless per- sons. from Sir Wilfrid Laurier on, have stood in or near it to admire a magnificent view. It survived the great fire which destroyed the Centre Block in 1916.

Good news for smokers. It was report- ed to the American Chemical Society in New York on Friday that there are "four B vitamins in your smokes, whether cigar- ets, cigars or pipe. You get some of these vitamins into your system when you inhale. And probably in lesser amounts when you don't." The tobacco B-vitamins are thia- mine, or B-1, supposedly good for nerves, nicotinic acid, riboflavin which has some good effects on skin, and pantothenic acid. The latter was thought years ago to be a possible antidote for grey hair, but it fall- ed. Nicotinic acid is the most abundant. These vitamins were reported on by Dr. E. O. Jensen, of the Department of Agricul- tural and Biological Chemistry, Pennsyl- vania State College.

The task which faces the ombo Plan countries is far more formidable than that which con- fronted war-torn Europe. The pro- blem was real and urgent especial- ly as the pressure of a. growing population was throwing an iii- creastng burden on the already slender resources. since the Com- monwealth countries had the greatest stnke they decided to take the lnlt.latlve. ,

The Plan provides for expansion of agriculture and in- dusfrliil production to meet the population needs of this vast: area. It emphasizes that power and machines are the key to plenty on the land; factories to make imple- ments and fertilizers; machines to till the soil: dam: in provide wat- er for irrigation and to control floods. The peoples of south-East Asia must. have more of these things, if they are to win their fight against poverty.
