they are ready for it, and that it spends a great deal more money than is war- ranted by its achievements thus far.

These criticisms have been voiced so loudly and persistently that the United States Chamber of Commerce recently ap- pointed a special committee, headed by James Tanham, retired Vice-President of the Texas Company, to conduct 'a thorough investigation into the matter. In convey- ing the committees findings to a House Foreign Affairs Sub-Committee, Mr. Tan- hani gave UNESCO a good report. "When , we looked into the specific charges," he lsaid, ”we found them basically without sub- I stance."

It should be remembei'ed that UNESCO is something new and experimental in world affairs; it could hardly be expected to come to full maturity or to realize its potential usefulness in the space of a few years. However good its plans may appear on paper, its actual success in the field much necessarily be limited, just as in the case of the 1'. N. O. itself, by the agree- mcnts on principles and practices which can be reached by the diverse elements which make up .its membership. Because it is international and not regional in its: constitution and functions it was to be expected that its work would be influenced, and at times hindered, by the divisions andl cross-purposes which mar the effectiveness of the parent body.

FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1954 Bank Of Canada Offices

Details of the new Federal Building plans for Charlottetown have been pub- iished in our columns, and will no doubt have been studied with much interest. Though the building does not include R. C. M. P. headquarters or the Federal De- partment of Agriculture, other Federal of- fices, now accommodated iii various parts of the city, will be amply provided for, and the building itself will undoubtedly be a great asset to the city and, it is to be hoped, a source of taxation revenue to the civic treasury.

There seems, however. to be no pro- vision for rc-establishing an office of the Bank of Canada, which fornicriy was here and which it was understood would be located in the new building. This point

Architect Of Nailonhood

By Heath N. Mucquiirrie

Serving as the main port of en- try to the Province, the town of Borden is familiar to all Prince

frlduurd Islanders and to the great

lll'Op0l'Il0l1 of visitors as well. But while the town is faniiiiay it is doubtful if many will know much about the great Canadian whose mime it. bears. This is not surpris- ing for Canadians generally lack the enthusiasm for national fig- ures which is so distinguishing a fcnturc of the culture of the Uni- ted States.

This year marks the one hun- drcdtii anniversary of the birth of Robert Laird Borden who became the eighth Prime Minister of Can- ada and the third Maritinier to hold that high office. It was earli- cr planned to mark the ccntenary of his birth by the unveiling of a monument on Parliament Hill on June, 'J6th, but delays arose and the ceremony had to be postponed. IL is hoped that within a few

ada's greatest statesmen.

0 O O - Robert Laird Borden was born in 13.34 in the lovely village of Gr:ind Pre in Nova SCOLIIYS An- napolis Valley. At an early age he showed great intellectual promiae and in the legal profession which he chose for himself he soon rose to a leading position.

In 1896 at Sir Charles Tiipperls request he stood .for election to the House of Commons and car- ried the Halifax coiistituency. Af- tcr the election of 1900 he was chosen leader of the Conservative party and in 1904 and again in 1908 he saw his party go down to dci'eat. at the hands of the Liberal contingent captained by the eloqu- ent Laurier. In 1911 however Bor- den was able to rally the country against Lauricrts proposals for re- ciprocity with the United States.

'Like. his predecessor John A, Mac-

donnld the Cnnservzitive leader was able to bring prominent Liber- .115 into his camp and in the elec- tion the Laurier forces were rout.- ed. Sir Robert Borden (M he became in 1913i retained the Prime Min- Lstership for nine arduous years. He icd'the country Great. War, inspiring the nation to an all-out effort on behalf of the British Empire. In 1917 he be- canie convinced of the need for rpiiipuisory military service and formed a Union Government with powerful Liberal leaders in order to establish wider support for the measure. Throughout all the dif- ficulties, tensions, and hatreda which the war and conscription riroiised Borden always commanded the respect of Canadians in all In the heat the conscription crisis he re- ocived respectful attention from Quebec nudicnccs. . .

It is doubtless in the field of in- tcriizitioiiai and Commonwealth relations that Sir Robert made

his greatest contribution. He was a firm believer in the Empire and took ii. leading part at Imperial gatherings at the same time insist- ing upon the autonomy of the Dominions. 1-Ie was the man who successfully asserted Conadais right to sign the Treaty of Versailles. against the opposition of some of the great powers. He it was who arranged for at Canadian minis- ter in Washington.

And it was Borden too who first suggested that the post of Gover- nor Gcneral might properly be held by a Canadian. Always he insisted upon full recognition of the ri;;lit.s of his couiiiry and with equal detcriiiinatioii he urged his coun- try's acceptance of the responsibili- ties accompanying these rights.

Indeed it may be truly said that much of what has happened since in the recognition of Canada's au- tonomous status was in reality ac- complished by Borden before he retired from the premiership.

. . .

In domestic legislation there is also much to his credit, notably the Female Franchise and the ex- tension of Civil Service Reform. Hi: government's attention to the trans- portation needs of Prince Edward Island is recalled by the town which bears his name.

Although not as picturesque or spectacular as Macdonaid or Laur- ier be yet possessed qualities which

sues far more difficult than they ever knew. A man of integrity, Sound Judgment, and hard work, Borden gave to Canada the kind of leadership which befitted a coun- try newiy arrived on the world stage.

The nearer the Cause Causeway approaches completion the clearer it becomes that the project will do big things for Cape Breton Island. of course the value of R Caiiso crossing that would eliminate the rail and highway ferries, has been plain from the beginning of the campaign years ago to build it, but the closer the rocky outthruat of the causeway comes to the Cape Breton shore the better we under- stand what it will mean in assets now beyond computation. It's too early to try to forecast all the assets which the functioning of the causeway will bring about. The assets will be accumulative over the span of many years, and var- ious in character.

Sir-On Sunday. June 25. Secre- tary of the Treasury Humphrey ap- peared on a television program and used the word 'tAmerica" instead of the United states" on at least twelve different occasions. The word "America" is used frequently by the president, members of his cabin- et, congressmen, editors, and others. I daresay 'America" is used twenty ltimes where the United States is used once. I would like to ask you when the name of this country waa changed and by whom? The ap- propriatLon of the word "America" and its use triatead of the United States is offensive to our neigh- bors on the north as well as to those on the south. Why do we not use the correct name of this coun- try in our wi-itteii and spoken word?
