At a crucial moment in the ‘Sec- ond World War, President Roosevelt announced that he was going to cut out “the dollar sign” from his de- liveries of vital supplies to Britain. He suspended conventional com- merce and substituted for it “lend- lease”. This was a novel expedient for dealing with an extraordinary crisis, and the President's imagin- ative statesmanship saved the situa- tion.

governments promoting it were

ready to step in at the moment of A

revolution. This would mean readi- ness to put agents, weapons and even troops across the frontier to help the rebelling people the mo- ment the revolt starts. Unless such substantial aid were available and used, the rebellion would be bound to be suppressed.

To encourage or promote revolu- tion in a Communist country without being prepared to put the entire military power of the West behind the policy is to encourage people to commit suicide. It is irresponsible and unconscionable. The only sure way to achieve absolute liberaiiim from any Communist government is to make successful war on the cause of tyranny, which is the armed force of the Soviet Union. The person who is not ready to wage war to the limit and regardless of the cost has no business preaching a policy of en- couragement to rebellion.

The only alternative to war for liberation is the management of policy in whatever way is most like- ly to produce a gradual rise in the level of wisdom, competence and decency in the leadership of any par- ticular Communist country. That is a slow process. It is not the kind that appeals to electioneering dema- gogues, and for that reason we shall bear very little about it from Presi- dent Kennedy’s political opponents insofar as his handling of the Cuban situation is concerned. But it is the only one the United States can afford to follow at this time.

A A Desperate Game"

_ An effort to place the bickerings over the European Common Market in their true perspective has been made by Arnold Toynbee, famous British historian. Writing in the London Observer, Dr. Toynbee maintains that it is the threat of world poverty, ‘not what advanta- geous markets the affluent coun- tries can obtain for themselves, which should be worrying all free world statesmen today.

"Now that preventive medicine has reduced the death rate without Qny immediate corresponding re- Iaet1on'in the birth rate, the world’s jlopuletion is increasing at an unpre- ipedantedijrate. and the pace is ac- iseklting.

a particularly bad example, from the files of the Department of Na- tional Defense:

“With reference to your review of subject documents made during the week of Nov. 6 —- Nov. 10, and your suggestions made in conversa- tion wiih LC."P Admin. during this interview, that you consider it prob- able that some of the documents could be held at AMCHQ library, in lieu of their pi'i—‘S€.llt location. Please ailvi.-te if a decision has been made in this regard.”

The commission was persuaded that the same end could have been achieved through a letter reading simply: “May I be informed whether or not a decision has been reached on storing the subject documents in the AMCHQ library?” Or, better still: “Have you decided whether we can store our documents in the AMCHQ library?”

The thing that disturbed the commission most was the thought that some 5,000,000 such letters were in circulation each year, either within the public service or reach- ing puzzled citizens. “The conse- quences of this volume of unintel- ligible correspondence are impossible to measure,” it concluded, “but it is obvious that thousands of telephone calls, further letters of explanation and improper decisions must result. Moreover, such letters must create in the general public an impression that Government officials are pom- pous, long-winded and officious.”

Also that they are given—as a Canadian Army lecturer told the Canadian Army Staff College a few years ago-—to "over-indulgence in abstract words, padding or verbos- ity, circumlocution, the passive voice, cliches and slang.” In short, that they're jargon-mongers.

How, asks the Winnipeg Free Press, does Mr. Diefenbaker’s sud- den public interest in non-discrim- inatory trade expansion square with his private insistence to his fellow prime ministers last week that pref- erences are the essence of the Com- monwealth? Nobody but Mr. Dief- enbaker, it says, can figure out the answer to this one. Hasn’t our Win- lllileit Contemporary read Ralph Waldo Emerson, and doesn't it know, as Emerson said, that “con- sistency is the hobgoblin of little minds”? Or, as Walt Whitman put it: “Do I contradict myself? Very

fice should first obtain special training in the art of politics.

It is pointed out that profes- sional mcn and women have to fit themselves for their careers by some specialized training. On the other hand. politician needs no degrees or diplomas in order to become a represen- tative of the people.

The question was asked of a panel recently: would nations be better governed if he, or she, had to take some profes- sional training?

British Lord Bancroft, a bus- inessman and one-time Conser- vative minister, voiced the opin- ion of all the panel members when he stressed that politicians were not specialists. like doc- tors or lawyers.

PRINCIPAL JOB

“The principal job of a politi-

cian as far as I can remember

ist for this. You want a broad- minded man or woman with personality, who understands what makes the ordinary man tick, and what he doesn't like and what he will stand for.- You do not want the expert”.

As a matter of‘fact, The Printed Word noted recently that one of the difficulties in democracies was that th 0 s e who are elected come to office through a popularity contest where success depends to an extent on qua.-liities other than learning, and wisdom. In some cases, candidates for political office have been defeated when the news has leaked out that they know a lot.

Lady Wotton, a sociologist and author who was also a member of the aforementioned panel, said it was important for

RE SUNDAY WORK

Sir, -— Persons are prohibit- ed from “carrying on their 01'- dinary occupaiions on Sunday." Yet, in open defiance of the law. firms carry on their bus- iness on Sunday, as has been pointed out by men of the Is- land Presbytery of the United Church. Said men are, doubt- less. to be commended for their righteous concern in the mat- ter of Sunday work, concern which has prompted them, in the face of Certain and possibly strong opposition from some quarters, to take their stand in defense of the sacredness of the Sabbath against those persons who would and. indeed, do spend Sunday. not in rest from labor and in the Christian pur- suits of meditation and prayer. but’, rather, in the same busin- ess as they engage in on the other six days of the week.

Yet are the good men of the Island Presbytery of the United Church not, so to speak, mak- ing "flesh of one and blood of another"? Why does their Christian zeal apply only to food processing and contract- ing jobs? Are not many other persons carrying on their ordin- ary occupations on Sunday?

If certain persons must not

cupation" being law enforce- ment, the police could not le- gally function on Sunday. How- ever, the good men of the ‘Is- land Presbytery of the United Church might see to the mat- ter, slnce their “ordinary occu- pation" is not monitoring the Sunday conduct of the citizens of Prince Edward Island... or is it?

DRAGGER OPERATIONS

Si —Surely “Disgusted" must be aware that some of the draggers he refers to as having "foster homes in N o v a Scotia" were landing catches in ports other than Souris. I wish to commend e government of the day for action taken to prevent the draggere from sell- ing thelr catches outside the Province, and would recommend also that the government see to it (if they are not already doing so) that the local fish dealers pay the current market price for fish. _

“Disgusted" points out that this summer has been a drastic one for the working class in the fishing industry. He must be a very young person, or has

process food on Sunday, other persons must not operate car ferries, busses, taxis. ‘If some are to be prevented from car rying on their "ordinary occu- pation" of food processing on Sunday, oughtn't others to be prevented from carrying on their “ordinary occupation” of operating radio transmitters. television transmitters, non-au- tomatic telephone stations? If it be wrong for a food processing plant to operate on Sunday, is it right for a gas station, drug store, restaurant. hotel. or mo- tel to do so?

something tells me that even the men of the Island Presby- tery of the United Church would be strongly tempted to utter protest if the men whose "or- dinary occupation" is providing electricity knocked off at mid- night Saturdaylfor a period of 24 hours. Even stronger protest might ensue if staff members of hospitals, whose "ordinary occupation” is obvious. did no work on Sunday. Consequences mightbe nothing short of die- astrous should firemen choose on their "ordinary

Yet he maintains it is not the scarcity of fish. The fact that the plant is government owned does not necessarily mean all: is openated by the gov-

themselves. “They should have a basic minimum of knowledge and intelligence. but they would not get it by going to a univer- sity department of political form."

No ASSURANCE

Quite apart from all this, how many men or women would be willing to undertake specialized training in advance of an elec- tion? The last general election shows the futility of it all when it is considered that slightly more than one quarter of the candidates obtained their objec- 've a seat in Parliament. And there is no assurance what- ever that ihese same men and women will remain in office for the next 12 months.

The most valuable ottributes of a politician are a capability of preserving "the common touch" and experience and no amount of university training can provide these.

Shades of the Suez crisis!

When it comes to the Common Market, it seems British opin- ion is behaving just as it did in 1956. Then, the Anglo-French inter- vention was thought to ha split Britons into two clear izroups. Politically-minded peo- ple generally deplored the ac- tion, while ordinary citizens ap- plauded it.

Some commentators saw it as a straight case of intellectuals versus the proletariat or, more crudely, as "the eggheads ven sus the boneheads."

Now, as the big debate of Commonwealth prime ministers draws to a close. the lines are said to be drawn in much the same manner. The British mag- azine The Economist. analyzing a recent survey, says it looks as though in general the young people and the well-educated classes support Britain's entry in e - European Economic Community, while opposition comes from older folks and the traditionally-minded.

SAME GROUP

The sort of opinion now mov- ing against the Common Mar- et, the magazine adds, is “ve like one large segment of the opinion that reacted so vio- lently" against criticism of the Suez venture. It is “an alliance of the e derly upper classes and the blunt old traditionalist un- skilled-laborer class.”,
