. Intriguing Paragraph

According to Works Minister

Deschatelets in the House of Com- mons on Wednesday, no decision has been reached by the govern- ment as to whether the proposed Northumberland Strait causeway will provide for railway traffic. This statement, given in reply to a query from Mr. Heath Macquarrie, represents all the information we have officially on this important subject. If it were a wartime secret -it couldn’t be guarded more jeal- rously. . But a glimmer of light has come through with the release for publication by the Island Develop- ‘ment Company Limited of its pro- posal for going ahead with the de- nign and construction of this work on a private enterprise basis. The company made its own study of the project since it had been advised. it says, that none of the government data could be made available to it. It estimated the cost at $90 million on the basis of eliminating railway lines, which would represent a marked change in the plans that were in contemplation previously, so far as the public was led to be- lieve.

As reported yesterday, the pro- posal was set forth in a. lengthy letter, dated July 27 last, to the Hon. J. W. Pickersgill, Federal Min- ister of Transport. This letter of the development company contains one curious paragraph, which we quote verbatim:

“During our discussions with you on the concept, the matter of phasing out the railway operations in the Province arose. This was con- sidered by both of us to be a de- sirable measure when done in con- junction with the provision of a system of all-weather roads and the causeway. At your request we undertook to see if a general pre- liminary meeting of the minds be- tween the two levels of government could be brought about in this mat- ter. It is our understanding that the several discussions resulting therefrom led to such a meeting of the minds occurring last month in your office."

Here, we suggest, is a matter that cries out for clarification. The public would certainly like to know more about this “meeting of minds” which occurred on two government levels last June in Mr. Pickers- gill’s office, and just how far the understanding with regard to “phasing out the railway operations in the Province” has gone.

Bypassecl Completely

The Soviet Commissar of Agri- culture, Ivan P. Volvochenko, ac- companied by six Russian farming experts and an interpreter, was in Nova Scotia for two days this week, and has now returned to the cen- tral provinces, after concluding a three-week "tour of Canada” as the host of the Canadian government. 9 The party didn’t visit Prince Edward Island, and there is no pros- " now of the Commissar visiting is next week for the Canadian flowing match championship, as had

hoped earlier. Nor did New

men wheat and floor by the Soviet Union. More recently the Rusiana have been buying our purebred cart- tle in considerable numbers, while there are indications that more such livestock sales can be expected.

Why, then, were not Prince Ed- ward Island and New Brunswick included in this government-spon- sored tour of the Russian delega- tion? We have here some of the finest dairy herds in Canada, and together we constitute the largest potato growing and exporting area. in the country.

It is not the fault of the Russian visitors that they bypassed us in this manner. Their tour was in the nature of returning a visit which our federal minister of agriculture, Mr. Hays, made to Russia last year. Their itinerary, presumably, was arranged by Mr. Hays. Certainly we are entitled to hold him respon- sible, and to expect an explanation as to why, in a matter of this kind, our existence was ignored.

United Fund Appeal

A leter in today’s Public Forum calls attention to the annual appeal of the Prince Edward Island United Fund which is being launched this year on September 24. The agencies which are making this united ap- peal are engaged in a wide variety of communal activities, and, as noted in the letter, are indeed of vital importance to all our citizens. The welfare agencies are especially in need this year because of the in- creased demands on their services from all sections of the province.

This method of appealing on be- half of various organizations has been successful elsewhere and has much to commend it from the stand- point of economy in campaign management, and of convenience to the public in eliminating the many individual appeals that were form- erly required. It is regrettable, how- ever, that the United Fund failed to reach its objective in this prov- ince last. year, and that a deficit was incurred which puts an added strain on operating budgets at this time.

Surely we can do better on this occasion. Many of our citizens are giving generously of their time and efforts to this campaign, and all of us are equally responsible for mak- ing it a success. Let’s hope, there- fore, that the response will be prompt and enthusiastic, and that a precedent will be set which will enable us the more easily to go over the top when the next occasion arises.

Timely Remlnder

Now that school sessions have resumed and the children have re- turned to their educational chores, it is worth remembering that edu- cation is a. cooperative venture, and that suitable environment for home work is as necessary to a young student as any other part of the process. A table or desk, 2. good light, and, above all, quiet. are es- sential.

We are reminded of this by an article in an exchange which points out that a. child can study neither against the competition of the tele- vision program that father is watching nor the telephone conver- sation that mother is conducting close to his ear. He cannot study if a shouted conversation is being carried on from room to room by other members of the family; he cannot study if younger children are playing around in his study area or if father’s power tools are pro- ducing noise and flickering lights.

These are cited merely as ex- amples. Each household has its own distractions, and it is the parents’ responsibility to see that they are minimized. Going to school is a serious business; so is the prepara- tory work that has to be done at home, if the pupil is to maintain his interest and keep abreast of his studies. The parents’ attitude in this regard can influence a child’s whole future, spelling all the difference between success or failure.

EDITORIAL NOTE

A small boy in Cyprus found some fireworks the other night and set them off. He provoked 21/2 hours of shooting between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots and the inter- vention of UN troops. Fortunately nobody was hurt; except the shep- herd boy, who had his ears boxed when the hasde of the village found what had happened.

The world Communist move- ment is a century old this year, and all is confusion.

A big meeting is coming up soon to deal with what Mos- cow calls “the Pekingese split-

UNITED FUND APPEAL

Sin—On September 24, the Prince Edward Island United Fund will start the annual ap- peal on behalf of its member agencies for funds to operate during 1965.

The agencies which are mem- bers of the Pr nce Edward Island United Fund are: The Canadian Red Cross Society, The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, The Canadian Mental Health Association, The Canadian Foundation for Poli- omyelitis. The Cerebral Palsy Association, The Multiple Scler- osis Society, The John Howard Society, The Navy ague of Canada, The Boy Scouts of Canada, The Girl Guides of Canada, The Young Men’s Chrisr tian Association, The Catholic Social Welfare Bureau, The Prince County Welfare Bureau. The Protestant Family Bureau, The Protestant Chil- dren‘s Home

In addition. small grants are given to certain other organiz- ations doing service work on Prince Edward Island to make it unnecessary for them to hold annual "Tag Days", a pernicious habit which we increasingly becoming a nuisance, both to the organizations, and to die general public.

It you will examine the listing of the member agencies of the United Fund, you will see the services they offer are of vital importance to each and every person on Prince Edward Is- land. The voluntary help organ- isations have already done great service among the sick both in direct assistance and in helping in research to find cures. No one needs to speak of the Is- land-wide coverage of the Red Cross, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Guides. and the YMCA. All help to bring up our children to be healthy. worthy members of societiy. ’Ilhe welfare agencies are especially in need this year because of the increasing de- mands on their services from all sections of Prince Edward Island.

Approximately 3,000 volun- tary workers from all sections of the Island will be wk in the United Appeal this year. and it is our sincere hope that every person in the Province will do his or her utm these agencies when

Last year we fall- objectlve. This year we must meet the needs of the agencies , so,

Marx didn't invent com- munism. He invented Marx- ism, which is the theory of how people arrive at communism.

Marx invented things such as materialism, dialectical mater- ialism. historical materialism, tor-teal dialecticlsm and econo- mic determinism. They con- fused soctallsts who up to then were socialists. Marx was a socialist, but many socialists were bourgeois reformists. Bourgeois reformism is refor- ming for the sake of reforming, instead of backing reforms only if they help Communists.

After Marx came Bolshevism and Leninism. Lenin said com~ munism was Soviet power plus electrification now, but Prem- ier Kiki-ta Khrushchev says there'll be no communism for a couple of generations. He’s building it. He has “ built so- cialism," which is Soviet power plus electrification and a bunch of Sputniks. CREATIVE MARXISM

Khrushchev believes in cre- ative Marxism, which means when Marxism gets in the way, ignore it. The Chinese call this Khrushchevism. The Rus- sians say the Chinese are dog- matists who commit doctrin- arianism because they want to follow the rule book (Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin) to the bitter end. Dogmatism means anybody who changes the rules is a wrecker.

"Certain persons" are caple- ulationists. “Certain per- sons” is a Chlnese phrase mea- ning Khrushchev. Be strayed from the rule book.

When the Chinese say this, the Russians say they are at-

Feeling isolated? Want com- panionship? More material comforts? The "good life"? Then form a free trade area or a common market.

Many smaller nations are jumping to this conclusion. spur- red on, no doubt. by the suc- cess of the six nation European Common Market.

Just in the last month, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait and Syria sig- ned s convention to found a potentially pen - Arab com- mon market in 10 years. Lib- eria, Guinea, Sierra Leone and the Ivory Coast decided so look into the potentials of a free trade area. Earlier, Iran, Pak- istan and Turkey agreed to forge a new economic alliance.

Many more already are in ex- istence. For example, there is the Central American Free Trade .aociation (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Hon cum and Nicaragua). the Latin American Free Trade a» eoclatlon (lie , Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Parag- uay), the European Free Trade

Now, what is peace?

To answer this, you must first define people.

EAiCE IS COMMUNISM

In general. when the word "people" comes up, you're safe if you substitute the word Com- munist.

Khrushchev says there can’t be contradictions in the USSR, because the S.S.R., being classless, is an “all-peo- ple state," which means all Soviet people are people exc- ept hooligans, embezzlers, swindlers, speculators and other riff raff who are “remn- ants of decadent capitalism."

If you‘re a g Communist, peace can't come until all im- perialists are gene. A Commun-

ist can work for peace and make compromises, but “such compromises must dam-

age the fundamental interests of the people." People are Communists. Thus, peace la communism.

That brings up peaceful ao- existence.

Both the Chinese and the Russians are for peaceful coex- istence, which is sought by all peace - loving countries. The only peace - loving countries are Communist countries.

The Russians aay peaceful coexistence ‘ia the most un- portant form of struggle age- inst imperialism." It does not. mean peaceful coexistence with capitalism because “the Communist party of the Soviet Union resolutely against peaceful coexistence in the ide- ogical sphere."

Peaceful coexistence means: "Don't interfere with what we are trying to dotoyou and there won't be any shoot- lug."
