Activities At Ottawa

Overshadowing tiie official opening of Parliament today will be the visit to Ottawa on Friday of United States Presi- dent Eisenhower and the special joint sit- ting of both Houses in the House of Com- mons on Saturday to hear an address from the President. Both in his own right and by virtue of the high office-he holds in the neighboring Republic, this distinguished visitor will be a welcome guest on Canadian soil. President Eisenhower will have all important message for the citizens of this country, and no doubt matters of joint concern will be discussed privately with the Government and military defense leaders.

Indications are that the members of Parliament will face a heavy legislative program at the coming session, which is expected to run on at least to the end of May, with short recesses at Christmas and Easter. Encouragement of new housing by increasing the amount of mortgage money available, the decennial revision of the Bank Act, and adoption of a new Criminal Code for Canada, are expected to head the list) of legislation. Other possible legislation includes revision of the Civil Service Insur- ance Act with the inclusion of some meas- ure of group insurance for civil servants; salary increases for the Prime Minister, Cabinet ministers, members and Senators and Parliamentary assistants; revision of the Old Age Pension Fund which is now in debt to the amount of 35130,000,000; ap- proval of a Japanese-Canadian trade agree- ment now being negotiated, and changes in the Indian Act.

The session starts with the Liberals holding 170 of the 265 seats. The Progres- sive Conservatives have 50, CCF 28, Social Credit 15, and there are three Independ- ents, two Independent Liberals, and one Liberal-Labor member. The only vacancy

occasioned by the death of Mr. Gordon Graydon, Progressive Conservative mem- her, who was chairman. of the Opposition's external affairs committee, and Deputy Opposition House leader.

From this Province Senator Jones will be taking his seat for the first time in the Upper Chamber, and Mr. Neil Matheson as Liberal member for Queen's in the House of Commons. Mr. Matheson and his Con- servative colleague Mr. J. Angus MacLean are both comparatively young men, and while they are on the opposite sides of poli- tics there is no reason why they cannot work harmoniously and effectively in the interests of their County. Mr. J. Watson MacNaught, Prince, now senior member from the Province, and Mr. Thomas Kick- ham, King's, with Senators McIntyre. Grant, and Barbour, complete the Island representation. There are many important matters requiring attention, and we have no doubt but that there will be mutual co- operation in presenting the claims of the Province effectively.

Meat Price Trends-

The trends of both cattle and hog priccsi

this year are cited in the current livestock products review issued by the Industrial and Development Council of Canadian Meat Packers, as a concrete illustration of how, markets react to changed conditions of sup- ply in the face of continued keen domestic demand. In the case of cattle, with inspect- ed slaughtering.-; up to the end'of Septem- ber running over 20 per cent higher than last year or the year before, there has constantly been a heavy supply of beef on the market and thus it has had to be priced at attractive prices to consumers. Cattle and beef prices have been lower than a year ago in both Canada and the United States, but at least the bargain prices for beef have kept surplus stocks from so- cumulating. Beef has been a fast mover at the domestic counter.

For pork the situation has been just the reverse. I-log marketings up to the end of September were nearly 21 per cent smaller than a year ago, with the decrease in the summer quarter alone about 30 per cent compared to 1952. Thus, during re- cent months, bog prices have risen to as high as S1200 per cwt. or more above the floor designa last September. These higher prices ave resulted in the main- tenance-qf cash income from hogs at a level nearly comparable to last year, despite the sharp -doe:-cue in volume. questionable, says

4 if uyidqljwnra price" for hogs nnmgimlng of no hog market-

ginning of the present calendar year, would have provided-producers with as high an average market return as that they have received this year under a flexible price system. It is also apparent that the stable floor price for hogs which was in effect for almost the whole of 1952 did not prevent many farmers from cutting down on pio- duction, which explains the current short- age of market hogs. The announcement of the even lower price floor last Septem- ber was taken as a further signal by pro- ducers to cut back sow breedings and liquidate breeding stock, which subsequent- ly proved to be the wrong move, although it helped put beef back into a strongly competitive position with pork this year.

Meat processors and retailers. in coni- pany with farmers, are not particularly happy about erratic and drastic changes in livestock and meat prices, with the re- sulting possibility of substantial inventory losses. At the same time the meat trade is highly competitive and, in order to keep the wide variety of meat products flow- ing smoothly through consumiiig channels, frequent price adjustments are inevitable.

Bermuda conference

Inconsequentiaily enough, the problem facing Prime Minister Churchill, President Eisenhower and Premier Laniel when they meet in Bermuda early next month is very definitely a continental one. Two years ago France proposed the creation of a European Defence Community but France herself has never ratified the agreement, nor have Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands or Luxem- bourg. They, naturally enough, are wait- ing for France's lead. The only country to sign to date has been West Germany.

The United States is vitally interested in having life breathed into the E. D. C. be- cause there is probably no more effective means of consolidating the defences of Rus- sia's western neighbours. N.A.T.O. is a powerful instrument but cannot be expect- ed to maintain the land forces needed to provide adequate security against attack. Only. the countries on the spot can in practice maintain those forces and they can only do so effectively with an cverall or- ganization.

The Big Three meeting is in no sense a substitute for the Big Four gathering ad- vocated by Sir Winston. It cannot tackle the problems that keepthe world divided between Communist and non-communist factions. All that can be expected of it at best is the strengthening of the European bastions against possible Communist aggres-

sion.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The report that Soviet aircraft plants will turn out 200,000 streamlined baby car- riages next year may or may not prove to be true. It indicates. however, that em- phasis is being placed in the Soviet Union on attempts to supply consumer goods.

To be the only Canadian Province not having a modern airport operated by the Department of Transport is an llnenviable distinction for Prince Edward Island and one which Mayor Stewart, the Charlotte- town Board of Trade, the Provincial Gov- ernment and our Federal Members are try- ing to have rectified.

Legion proposals that Veterans' Land Act aid be extended to those wishing to build on city lots in addition to "small holdings" in rural areas have much to com- mend them. The present act has served a useful purpose but there are many vet- i erans whose jobs or inclinations do not per- mit them to be part-time farmers but who are anxious to build their own homes.

The trucking industry is not unanimous in either advocating or opposing Federal control of inter-Provincial highway trans- port. On one hand there is the fear that Federal control will deprive them of advantages against railway competition. On the other hand the Canadian Automo- tive Transportation Association, wants Fed- eral regulation to control unlicensed oper- ators in inter-Prdvincial traffic.

Remembrance. Day was observed gen- erally by our local merchants as a statu- icry holiday but apparently it is only in Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia that this observance is in effect, although in most- other Provinces banks. schools and government offices closed for the day and church parades and special services took place on Sunday. Merchants in many of the largencentrcs observed only the two minutes' silence in their stores yesterday.

"The Impending Crisis" makes good reading and I am grateful to Mr. Dewar for sending me a copy. Its literary excellence alone would be sufficient reward for the time spent in its perusal but. of course. its primary purpose is not to give literary pleasure but to point out. authoritatively the gravity and magnitude of the problems that plague humanity at this time. However, the presentation of any problun does not lose anything by being clothed in clear and lucid terms, aided by a sense of history and an attractive literary style.

COMMUNISM AND THE SWORD

munism lies not in force of arms but in the realm of ideas. We persistently think of Communism in terms of force. Ever since its inception in 1917 it has been maili- fasting itself as force. Lady Astor, sitting beside Stalin at a party one evening, turned abruptly and asked him: "When are you going to stop killing people?" He an- swered: "Just as soon as it is un- necessary. Soon I hope.''. on an- other oocssion sitting between Tito and Berla at. a party, Stalin turned to Tito and asked: "How many did you kill in your revolu- tion?" Tito fumbled for words and before he answered Stalin turned to Beriu. and said: "How many have you killed in our re- volution?" "Throe million, Sir," was his answer. Force, brute force has been the method of Commun- ism from the beginning.

Force camiot. win. Ultimately, it must. be defeated. who take theisword shall perish by the sword." This law has been demon- strated in history hundreds of times. The nations built up by force and subsisting on force have disappeared. In the realm of penologvyforce is singularly inef- fective. Strictnoss, mingled with mercy. regard for the person. is the newer and more effective method of curing criminals. There is evidence within Russia that force has been overdone. Forced collectivstlon of farrns is not suc- ceeding. The prod.uct.lon of grains is alannlngly decreasing. and so is farm stock. The people are so restless that the Government is becoming sls.rmed.iThey seem to have come near to the limit. of endurance. In these last. months glowing promises have been made to them of better days to come.

The Government of Russia is probably more afraid of their own people than they are of any other combination against. them. They have been bullied until they have become sick of it. From free no- tions the truth of their slavery is seeping through. Fear of the Rus- sian people themselves may save us from war.

Communism feeds upon poverty and unrest. Peace and plenty have no place for this pernicious sys- tem. If Korea canrbecome a real democracy, its people clothed, fed and contented, more millions will move southward and leave com- munism stranded. Many lessons have taught Rumia that Commun- ism is a failure, or are their minds closed to all teaching? It will be too bad for Russia. and for the world it they cannot loam before complete disaster strikes them. Rania is too great a nation to be destroyed.

I It is hard to see why. with up-l pi-oxiniately fifty-eight millionl iemnles 14 years or over in the United States, the Post. Office De-t pnrtment. should be confronted with a deficit. For if every female in that group were to write only two letters per week, affixing I. three-cent. stamp to each. in the course of a year the stamp sales therefrom would amount to 3180,- 960.000. As every male knows, how- ever, the weaker sex writes more: than two letters per week; just how many more no one can say. but surely the total is one that boosts stamp sales ,and postal re- venues, to near astronomical pro- portions.-New York Times.

We suggest that those of you who haven't been driving in the country recently do so right away. If you don't you'll be missing some great. sights.
