Emergency Decisions

Prime Minister St. Laurent was report- ed before Mondayls cabinet meeting to have already approved the principle of send- ing troops to Korea but as being anxious to have as full support as possible. It is, of course, desirable that Government decisions and action meet with the widest possible ap- proval and in ordinary times a Government may even carry on successfully taking only such action as is forced upon it by the weight of public opinion.

In times. of crisis such negative leader- ship is inadequate. The nation entrusts its safety and place in the world to its leaders, indicating at best only general determina- tion topback them in policies which will achieve that end. Woe betide the nations' leaders who shirk any needed action because popular opinion has not expressed itself for that particular move.

Unlike peacetime politics where inaction may sometimes permit problems to solve themselves, the peril of external aggression ' is that anything the Government may de- - cide to do may be wrong but to decide to do nothing is sure to be wrong.

hostilities only

Should general mobilization become nec- essary the Government should, and appar- ently will, classify the volunteers for active service differently from last time. The ex- pansion of the Navy in 1939-45 took the form of greatly increased enrollment in the then Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Re- serve, a most valuable organization for maintaining a reserve in peacetime. What young Canadians wanted to do in war, how- ever, was not to join the Reserve but to join the Navy. At the same time those who had carried on with little encouragement be- tween the two wars were not pleased that their identity should be lost among the great numbers recruited during the emergency.

A simpler and more satisfactory distinc- tion would be to list those who come in on mobilization as being in the Royal Canadian Navy for hostilities only and not class them as reservists of any kind, which they are certainly not.

lniIatlon's llsly spectra

Government trade experts in Ottawa say Canadians don't need to worry about infla- tion. Only circumstance that could make inflation a serious threat would be an in- creased demand for goods and services suf- ficiently great to push production S500,- 000,000 higher than it is today.

Trouble is that the vast majority of Canadians are already worried about infla- tion. Government expenditures since the end of World War II have been the major factor in contributing to that inflation, as reflected in high living costs in every part of the country.

Two measures, short of the re-imposi- tion of wartime controls which nobody wants, may be taken to ward off the men- ace of still further inflation. First of these is to halt immediately all new Government expenditures except those essentially ear- marked for defence. Second is for Cana- dians to avoid "scare" buying and hoarding. A third, and even more significant check upon inflation, would be for trade unions to sign a truce in wage warfare on the domes-

tic front.

Pandit Nehru's not inconsiderable pres- tige has suffered severely as a result of his efforts to appease Russia in order to achieve peace in Korea. Mr. Nehru's pro- posal to Premier Stalin was that "a speedy. peaceful settlement" of the Korean issue he arrived at through the simple expedient of bringing Communist Chins into the Secur- ffty Council of the United Nations. Then, ml-. Nehru no doubt sincerely believed, the Korean war could be ended by agreement ismong the Great Powers - . any other words, the Indian leader was Ysuggestlng to the Kremlin that Communist gchlna could be bought s section the Secur- jity Council by Russia undertaking to call you the aggression in Korea. Premier Stalin, ” now accept Mr. good offlossto 's”o'cure the entry of

.''s a, g to security Council,

ple's Government of China." -The frigid reception accorded Mr. Neh- ru's revival of the sort of diplomacy of ap- peasement popular in Munich days suggests that the leaders of the western democracies are not quite so naive as the Prime Minister of India. Bad boys won't behave any bet- ter if you give them candy. Rather will they threaten to behave even more badly unless they are given more. There is no reason to suppose that in this respect Pre- mier Stalin would conduct himself in any different fashion than did' Hitler. Important factor to be borne in mind is that the problem of Communist China's claim to a seat in the Security Council of the U. N. is in no way related to the issue in Korea. Mr. Nehru, in his clumsy but well-meant effort to restore peace in the Orient, has succeeded only in making the task of the forces opposing totalitarianism immensely more difficult.

"Business as usual" is the slogan in Britain in this crisis, including the August Bank holiday, equivalent to our own Labour Day holiday.

The three-day Gaelic Mod at St. Ann's is a mecca for Scots, but perhaps an even greater contribution to Scottish culture is the school there conducted by the Nova Sco-

tia Gaelic Foundation.

There is no foundation for the suspicion that Charlottetown's new cold storage plant which commenced operations Saturday has made temperatures ten degrees cooler in the city. p

O The ground is certainly hard and dry but somehow flowers seem to be at their best throughout the city, perhaps by a determin- ation to make a good showing for Old Home Week.

The postponement of the calling of Par- liament for six or seven weeks, will give Mr. Drew, leader of the Opposition, time to conclude his two months' holiday in Italy before returning to Ottawa.

Mr. Alan S. Stewart, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Stewart, and solicitor and City Clerk of Owen Sound gave at Rotary a timely and instructive address on municipal affairs. He has had practical experience of traffic infractions, and so spoke "as one having authority", and no doubt his ad- vice will be appreciated by our municipal- ities. '

Hon. Mr. Gregg, V.C., is an excellent choice as successor to Hon. Mr. Mitchell as Minister of Labour.

In addition he is another Maritime Minister holding an im- portant portfollo. The joining up of the portfolios of solicitor general and Minister of Justice, sets free l-ion.

Flora MacDonald In America

(Donald Nicholas in the Edinburgh Scotsman.)

It is strange that one period of Flora MacDonald's life has been much neglected by her blographers. presumably because her name is linked forever with Scotland and Scotland is Jealous of her hero- ine. Conscquenlly, few people real- ize that Flora spent. five years of her life in America - in the State of North Carolina.

(Flora MacDonald played an im- portant part. in the escape of Bon- ny Prlnce Charlie to Finance after the i745 rebellion in Scotland). The people of that state are very proud of their connection with Flora. Pieces of her silver. whlth she was obliged to sell to obtain passage-money before leaving Amer- ica. are at Red Springs where there is a fine college for girls. founded in i398, named the Flora MacDon- ald college.

In August, 1774, Flora and Allan, with her two sons. Alexander and James, and her daughter, Anne. with her husband Alexander Mac- Leod. of Lochbay. and their chil- dren. together with eight servants, sailed in the Bnlllol from Camp- belltown for Wilmington, North Carolina.

News of,t-heir coming had preced- ed them and they had a great wel- come from the Scottish comlnunily. Their temporary house was at Cross Creek, now Fayettevllle.

After six months at Fayettevule, the Macbonalds moved to Mount. Pleasant. where Allan had pur- chased a tract of land, but this he soon sold. and they moved farther west into Anson County, settling in a large pine plantation of some 475 acres, called Killiegray,

Here they thought to live per- manently. They cleared some so acres and built a house and burns, but even before the Macbonalda arrived the American war of in- ” d was threatening. though it was difficult for them to realize its significance.

As soon as Governor Josiah Mar- tin issued his Royuiist proclama- tion Allan took the side of the I-0373111128. was offered a captain's commission in lhe Royal Highlgnd Emigrant Regiment. snd was gp. pointed recruiting officer for North Carolina, with the rank of Brigade Major.

while Captain Alexander Mncbeod. Allan's son-in-law, raised A company. -

As they prepared to much out- Flora rode a little way out of the town and, taking up her P031110" under an oak tree-"Flora Mac- Donald's Tree"-she watched them go to what was almost. another Oui- loden.

On February 2'1. 1776. the Bish- landers arrived at Moore's Creek. and found themse'.... face to face with the enemy on the opposite

by a narrow bridge. The order was given to rush this bridge an hour before down. But in the night the American Patriots had lifted the planks from the sleepers of the bridge and greased them.

when, therefore. the rush claims the Patriots swept the bridge and the bank beyond with gunfire. Con- fusion followed. and the l-ilshlnnd- ers suffered heavy loss. Eight. hun- dred and fifty Highlanders were captured. including their chief of- ficers, among them Allan Muc- Donald and his son. Alexander, though James managed to escape.

. . .

After being taken prisoner. Allan was kept at Halifax. Virginia, but on April 11 tile North Carolina Pro- vincial Congress-put him "on par- ole with conditions."

In August he was permitted to go to New York to arrange for the exchange of Alexander and himself, and on September l5, Governor Martin wrote to Lord George Ger- main: "Kingsborough lately come to N. Y. to arrange his exchange . . these captive officers were due their pay. but not satisfied."

Late in 1778. Allan rejoined his regiment in Halifax. Nova Scotis.

In the meantime, poor Flora had suffered for her own and her hus- hand's loyalty. she was turned out of Killiegray and stripped of nearly all her belongings.

Kenneth Black. a native of Jun who was later murdered for his ad- herence to the Loynlists, and who had emigrated to North Carolina in 1740. took I-"lora into his house. From there she was summoned to appear before the Committee of Safety for alleged seditious con- duct; when she did so. it is record- -ed, she displayed a most "spirited behavior". She was in great pover- ty and unhappiness of mind, and had to sell most of her treasured possessions, both to live and to get together the passage money for her return to Skye. which was now her main object.

she finally returned to Scotland after staying for n time in Nova Scotia.
