A Formiclable Task 1

If c\‘cr an 0i'g.'iniz;itioii needed strengthening in its weak places, the I\'orth Atlantic 'l‘rcat_\' Organiz- ation certainly does. It may weather the storms which threaten it; but at the moment the prospect is not particularly hopeful.

I-‘rancc clearly is of the opinion that Britain and the l’nitcil States are prepared to work against her whenever they see a chance to fur- ther their own interests in North Africa. The sending of arms to Tun- isia whence. in all probability, they will go to the Algerian rebels, is sufficient proof of that-—-for the French, that is. Britain is not too enthusiastic about the common mar- ket of which France is a sponsor: while the French are suspicious of the free trade plan which Britain is anxious to get under way. Both the British and the French are still a little suspicious of the Americans who, they feel, let them down in the Suez crisis and might do so again under certain circumstances. As for the Americans, many of them—— some of whom are in high places- wish that isolation from Europe and all its works were possible. The main fear of the smaller European countries is that in the event of war they would be obliged to bear’ the brunt of conflict and perhaps be annihilated. In more than one coun- try there is speculation that perhaps neutrality would be the wisest course. if it were possible.

All in all, the task of reconciling different viewpoints is a formidable one indeed.

Pooling Abilities

President Eisenhower's invitation to Adlai Stevenson. his rival for the Presidency in 1952 and 1956, to consult with him on American pol- icy to be presented at next month‘s meeting of the NATO council and to go with him to the meeting is a belated acknowledgement of Mr. Stevenson's ability in diplomacy. Mr. Stevenson's acceptance of the invit- ation is proof of his willingness to put the nation's interests before the demands of partisanship. There is no doubt that the American brief respecting the many issues that confront the Atlantic Alliance will be strengthened by his participation. The idea behind the arrangement is, of course. a desire to show the world that both major parties are in agreement on the fundamentals of American policy in these difficult times.

It may be that the Canadian Government will find ‘it convenient and profitable to adopt a similar method of presenting Canada's views at the important conference. This is a time when a pooling of abilities and experiences. regardless of party distinctions. is needed to present a united front. There are several iii- dividuals both in and outside of Parliament, notably Mr. Lester B. Pearson. who under the former Lib- oral administration were involved directly in NATO diplomacy. It would do no harm if they were in- vited to share their experience and knowledge with Government leaders. Indeed, it ought to be helpful.

Teachers’ Opinions

A survey of teacher opinion, re- 'ported by the Ontario Teachers‘ .Fc-deration, reveals widt:-ly differ- jent opinions to those generally ac- cepted by many leaders in education jThe survey was held because, for ;one reason: “It was suggested that ; toachers are reluctant «at the present time to express their ‘meal pbints of view about various seduoationaltopics when an authorit- atlve point bf View has been put -forward. even though they do not accept thh point of The re- sults have appeared in The Bulletin, pufiod by the Federation.

On the question of fusing history and geography as social studies the vote was 1,654 in favor and 534 against, so far as grades 1 to 6 are concerned. For all other grades the vote was overwhelmingly opposed. Asked if they favored dividing pu- pils into college and non-college strcams according to their mental ability, 1,964 teachers voted Yes and 488 No. Other questions:

Do you think that the use of marks on report cards, implying as it does some element of compe- tition, is harmful to the student? Yes, 192; No, 2,333. Do you think that sufficient attention is being given (a) to the mentally gifted child? Yes, 498; No, 1,975. (b) to the child with special talents? Yes, 528; No, 1,872. Do you feel that people in your community respect their teachers and the teaching pro- fession? Yes, 2,002; No, 411.

Of this partial list of questions and answers worthy of particular attention is the majority opinion that gifted children are neglected, that pupils of university calibre should be separated from others, and that competition in school is not harmful.

While the report states that they could not be accepted as a basis for action without further careful investigation, it declares: “Obviously where teacher opinion is so drastically opposed to the opin- ion of many generally accepted ex- perts, real research into the matter is required."

Farm Accidents

Farming is generally believed to be the healthiest of all occupations. This is DI‘0b8bly true, although there are no statistics to prove it, as far as we know. But the some- what popular belief that it is also the safest is contradicted by ex- perts at the Institute of Agricultur- al Medicine of the University of Iowa.

The report states that in 1955- the latest year for which figures are available-—there were 14,200 “occupational" deaths. Of this num- ber, 3,700, about 26 per cent, oc- curred in farm accidents. Since there are approximately 5 million farmers in the working force of some 70 millions, this means that about 7 per cent of the working population suffered 26 per cent of the fatal accidents. Only mining and construction work have higher on-the-job fatal accident rates; and in each instance it is only slightly higher. These are American stat- istics; but there is no reason to sup- pose that the situation on Canadian farms is much better.

It would be interesting to know the main cause of this high incid- ence in farm accidents. Obviously, they are not related directly to mechanization: as, of course, pap- er mills, automobile factories, steel plants and hundreds of other places of employment have much more machinery and many more danger- ous gadgets than are found on farms. even the most highly mec- hanized ones.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Commenting on President Eisen- hower's speech in Oklahoma City, the executive secretary of the Na- tional Education Association said that what most schools and colleges need is “not a crash program but a cash program" to meet educational needs in science and other fields. Many will agree with him.

For the benefit of those who may have forgotten the names of the others, the magazine lists them as: The Pharos (lighthouse) of Alex- andria. the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Artemis, the statue of Zeus, the Tomb of Kink Maunsolus and the Colossus of Rhodes. *'

PUBLIC FORUM

PARKDALE COMMISSIONERS

Slr.—On behalf of the appre- ciative villagers of Parkdale I take this opportunity to express our thanks to our Commissioners for their untiring efforts toward a solution of our problems. These men have given unstinting- ly of their time without remunera- tion to conduct the affairs of our village. They are all property holders and must certainly have our best interests at heart. Con- trary to popular propaganda they are seeking clarification of vital problems re amalgamation to “scuttle" the that our rate- listened attentively for four hours while members of the Metropolitan Committee juggled their repl

As a village we have been ac- customed to having our affairs run in a democratic manner. where each year at an annual meeting our ratepayers voted upon any war taken. Our Commissioners are theref re directly responsible to the expressed will of the people. In contrast to some of the most outspoken proponents of amalga- m ion_ we recognize there are always two sides to a question, else why hold a plebiscite at all.

While so much biased publicity is being directed toward them. our Commissioners are present- ly engaged in summarizing their

discuss and evaluate these at an early date and we see no reason to disparage their efforts or malign their intentions. rn. Sir. etc. EDWIN H. COOK Ex-Commissioner.

OTTAWA REPORT

Ottawa: Forty or fifty thousand words an: spoken each day in the House of Commons. of which perhaps five hundred are quoted in the average newspaper. Bur- ied among the unpublished nine- -ty-nine per cent of this parlia- mentary oratory. there are u- sorted gems which deserve not to be lost and which would im- press or depress the electors.

Here are some recent samples:

Hon Paul Martin, Liberal Windsor: "This occasion being the Minister of Trade and Com- merce‘: birthday anniversary, up- on which I sincerely congratulate him." Hon Gordon Churchill, Con- Winnipeg: “I thank the honourable gentleman for his remarks on the occasion of the anniversary of my birthday. I hope the next 59 years will be as interesting as the first 59 have

n Right Hon. Louis St. Laurent. Liberal. Quebec City: "I up sure all members of the House will welcome the statement (about. the trade mission which will vis- it Britain) made by the Minister of Trade. There is no doubt that greater diversification of our im- port trade would be beneficial to our economy. I can assure the minister that we wish him well in his endeavours to restore as near an approach to multilater- al trade as can be realized un- der present world conditions." MORE QUOTES Mr. T. .J. Irwin. Social Credit, Vancouver: “I listened with some degree of disfavour to the hon. member for Rosthern (Mr. Walt- er Tucker, Liberal) as he made his contribution to this debate. It seemed to me his speech had no- thing to do with the resolution and contributed nothing to either the welfare of the veterans of the subject under discussion. Mr. Douglas Fisher. C. C. l'..

The preamble of the Bank of Canada Act (1934) states that the purpose of the bank shall be "to regulate credit and currency in the best interests of the econo- mic life of the nation" Another requirement is that it shall “miti- gate by its influence fluctuations in the general level of produc- mont. trade. prices and employ- ment."

These are massive responsibil- ities. The bank has carried them effectively and unobtrusively un- der two distinguished governors, Mr. Towers and Mr. Coyne. There is no doubt whatsoever that the bank‘: influence in con- tinuous and beneficial in finan- cial and economic affairs.

Today the "light money" pol- icy continues and the new Con- sorvallvc administration Ivlshoa to see it eased to assist in expand- ing employment and helping the small businessman obtain credit.

Mr. E. J. Campbell. Conserva- flve. Lambton - Kent: “As I sit here day after day. the pressure (of terror) in a new member seems to build up to the point that I think the next object that you hear about flying around and around the world will be parts of a new member."

Mr. Douglas Fisher. C.C.F., Port Arthur: "Mr. Speaker. I think it is hardly fair that a new member of this House should be rudely jolted by these unsolicited interruptions."

Mr. J. A. McGrath, Conserva- tive. Newfoundland: "In New- foundland there are some 425.000 new Canadians of the finest Bri- tish stock who are still learning. still striving to understand what being tnily Canadian is, and sure- ly there is more to it than fam-

allowances."

We now pray that Her Gracious Ma- jesty might ‘overcome’ all her enemies. would it not. be more in keeping with the Prince of Peace if we prayed that she mint "win" her enemies?"

Mr. Arnold Peters. C. C. F.. Kirkland Lake: ‘‘I should like to leave the thought with the gov- ernment that some consideration be given to setting aside Novem- ber II as a national holiday. Ev- ery person in Canada has had ..some close friend or relative who gave their life in the service.
