The Liberals have no harder-hit- -

ting campaigner than the Hon. J. W. Pickersgill, federal minister of trans- port, who spoke at. Kensington last Friday and did what was expected of him in the way of getting after that man John Diefenbaker, who, of course, wasn’t there but who may be expected to retort in kind at the first opportunity. Had it been an oldtime joint meeting, now, with Dief in, there slugging too, what a lively time would have been had by all!

However, we are not concerned here with this part of Mr. Pickersgill’s remarks but with the emphasis he placed on the fact that our causeway undertaking is not a political gimmick but a sound investment for the whole of Canada. An investment, incidental-

ly, to which both major parties are .

committed, and for the same logical reason. :

Of course it will be a tremendous boon to this province; but the savings in ferry charges it will effect, and the huge increase in traffic that will re- sult, have been the determining fac- tors at Ottawa. Mr. Pickersgill made this point clear, and also stressed that with “more jobs, more prosper- ity and more activity,” benefits will

' accrue to the people of Borden who

are at present concerned about the effects on their community-of discon- tinuing the present service. It should be a major concern of both our fed- eral and provincial governments to see that this prospect is realized.

In and out of office, Mr. Pickers- gill has been a sturdy champion of our causeway” ‘claims: Of -course-he hopes to gain from it politically; but he supported this newspaper’s cam- paign for the project when the going was tough, and we're not going to let our readers forget it. May we suggest, however, that there’ is still a lot of missionary work for him to do, even among his own party followers west of the Maritimes, in stressing this vital point about the causeway’s economic advantages. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding on this score.

Wouldn't it be helpful, now, if a fullreport on the economic surveys conducted by the federal works de- partment was released for publica- tion? Then we could all go to work on quoting chapter and verse to. prove that this is indeed not a “brazen political bribe,” as has been charged an nauseam against both the Diefen- baker and Pearson governments, but the sound economic investment the experts have found it to be.

Cheering is the news from Glas- gow which reports “a new mood of optimism” prevailing in Scotland these days. After many years of eco- nomic depression and a constant un- employment rate of more than 4 per cent, the country has shaken off its Celtic caution and is grasping new in- dustrial opportunities. Over-all un- employment has fallen; the -average national rate during the summer dropped to about 2 per cent.

What is the purpose of this silly attempt to make the leader of a gov- ernment appear to be “above politics” at a time when he is appealing for all the votes he can get? Whatever it is, it’s not fooling anybody and should be discarded. along with the “truth squad” ‘and other . Liberal election gimmicks that were laughed out of the last election campaign.

Atted all, as our Hamilton con-

and when Mr. Pearson, or any-other politician, makes any sort of speech during an election campaign, that speech is political. Even if he’s only toasting a bride, he’s still doing his. best to get her family and her friends to vote for him.

“T recently noticed that the face of the carved wooden lion was lop- sided,” said General Wyldbore-Smith, “and on close inspection discovereg™ that only two of the original wire whiskers were left on one side of the lion’s face—and none on the other.” Deciding to replace the loss with the real thing, the general asked the zoo for two dozen lion’s whiskers.

Back came the two dozen and a couple of spares. Said the general: “A member of the staff stuck the whiskers on with glue and we’re jolly pleased with the way the old lion is looking.” As for the castle’s unicorn, “he’s in splendid condition” despite the ravages of time.

“That’s just as well,” commented a zoo official on hearing this news. “Unicorn spares are hard to come by.”

Had Distinguished Career In British Navy

National Geographic News Bulletin

A National Geographic staff member has created in Tahiti the only known memorial any- where to Captain William Bligh of Bounty fame.

The ‘simple memorial— and an appropriate one— is a spec- ially planted breadfruit tree and a bronze plaque honoring “a great explorer and navigator.”

The purpose is to help restore Bligh's reputation. Bligh made many Pacific discoveries, in cluding the great Fijian archi- pelago, and he was a master cartographer. But fictional ac- counts and films of the Bounty mutiny have so _ biackened Bligh’s name that he is now re-

fore his death. EXPLOBED WITH COOK Early in his career, Bligh ac- companied James Cook on hi last expedition as master of the ~Resolution:Later; Bligh was- ap- pointed to take Bounty to Tahiti in 1787 to gather breadfruit plants to bring to the British col- ony of Jamaica as a potential source of inexpensive food for slaves. The mission triggered a series of tragedies— mutiny, piracy, shipwreck, murder, ex- ile, court-martial, and execu:

Bligh returned to England (where he became known as ‘“‘Breadfruit Bligh’), took com- mand of the Providence and an armed escort vessel, and set off to Tahiti once more to load breadfruit. In February, 1798, Bligh reached Jamaica with nearly 1,000 rooted cuttings. It had been a difficult voyage, one that took ‘‘the meritorious exer- tions of all my officers and men."

Today, ho w- ever, breadfruit is one of Jam- aica’s most appreciated foods, and all the breadfruit that flou- rishes throughout the West In- dies and tropical America stems from this one importation.

BOUNTY REMAINS FOUND. Luis Marden, a pioneer under- seas photographer and veteran

ic senior editorial staff, became deeply interested in the Bligh story while on Pitcairn Island to gather material for an article about descendants of Fletcher Christian and other mutineers. Marden spent much of his free time diving in Bounty Ba y. Eventually he found what he was looking for—the coral- en crusted remains of the old mut- iny ship that Christian had burned.

Marden was delighted to find that three old breadfruit trees there are. survivors. of. the original plants brought by Bligh. A plantation owner gen- erously permitted Marden to take rootstock from one of the trees; it was ppovaenied near Washington, D.C., by the Agri- culture Department's new Crops Research Branch.

At the moment, the British foreign office will not look at the offer. It says that such an ex- change could encourage Com- munist authorities to arrest and trump up charges against pri- vate Western travellers when- ever they wished to secure the release of one of their senior | agents who had been caught.

The same treatment may now be in store for Mr. Brooke.

may be just as empty as his week-long negotiations with the British government.

| For weeks Smith engaged in what is known as diplomatic brinkmanship. He warned that if he ‘cannot win independence for Rhodesia legally by the end of the year, he would declare the central African colony inde- peacoat without British sanc- on.

That could spark a brushfire race war in Rhodesia that could spread into most of the turbu- lent continent. Smith has little to gain from such a prospect.

Prime Minister Wilson is known .to ha¥e made clear to | the Rhodesian leader that, at | present, Smith has only to deal | with the British government. | But if he seizes independence | unlawfully, he not only would have to face the wrath of Brit- ain but of most of the Common- | Wealth and a good part of the | Test of the world, including the United States. .

| FEW UN FRIENDS

| The issue then might be taken |from British hands and turned jover to the United Nations |where Smith and his ministers could expect little sympathy. Thus it would seem from a | strategic position, that Smith | must continue to threaten and roar and do nothing but bide his time..

The Rhodesian leader argues that he tried to go some dis- tance to meet British conditions | for independence to find ithe British government more | unyielding.

This would include the gradual extension of the vote to Negroes, iron-clad assurances that the constitution wouldn't be changed by a min- . ority white regime, an end to racial discrimination, better education for the Negroes and Teasonable assurance that the measures taken are acceptable to the country as a whole. Since the constitution could be changed by two-thirds majdrity decihion in the Rhodesian P~r- liament, Britain demancsd agreement that the Rhodes an opposition would always have more than one-third of the vote —the so-called ‘blocking third.”

To all this, Smith merely of- fered to set up a Negro senate of 12 chiefs, all reported ready to obey Smith's demands »e cause they are paid by the present Rhodesian government. Wilson dismissed this proposal as ludicrous

The argument now remains that Smith must seize independ- | ence unilaterally or he may be | booted out of his job by white ; extremists in his government. That argument is fallible, for Smith miade sure his delegation to London included Interior Minister William Harper, leader of the right-wing extremists.
