Brotherhood: Week

A movement which has grown steadily in recent years is that of Brotherhood Week. Sponsored by the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, it is being observed this week across the country as a salutary re-

minder to men of goodwill of every- race and creed that the things which

unite us are of much more importance ~

than the issues which tend to divide | us. ‘

On this occasion the movement should be ‘of special interest to Canadians as a prelude the Centennial. of Confederation and the Inter- ‘national Exhibition of 1967 in which Canada will provide a meeting place

~ for pedple of all nations, to become:

better acquainted and grow in under- standing of each other’s aims and requirements, —

We need only consider the tragedy of the Viet Nam war and other. evidences of strife and discord throughout the world to realize that

we have stil! a Jong way to go in ach- jeving that vision of the Brotherhood of Man which plays. so vital a part in Christian doctrine. Yet the fact that universal lip-service is paid to this great concept is itself a matter of.

It was something, surely, that at the conclusion of the 20th General As- sembly of the United Nations last

“Pecember, the delegates reached an~ agreement designed. to eliminate the preaching and practice of racial discrimination. What is needed, how- ever, is not further affirmations of this kind, but greater efforts in mak- ing effective the concept on ‘the personal and national level. Every- thing Canadians can do to forward | the movement among themselves,

_ Nations Educational, Scientific and

| Cultural Organization. The objective _ is to teach the world’s one_ billion | illiterates to read and write within the next generation. It‘is figured that . to make any economic progress a developing country must first achieve at least 40 per cent adult literacy. | Below 40 per cent farmers and fac- .. tory hands must be shown and told 'Sorally what to do. Above that . level | information can be imparted via the written word. Hence the urgency and importance of the project. | The campaign will start with train- _ ing programs in Algeria, Iran and Mali, and the United Nations has

; generously set aside a special fund for

the purpose. Of how many hundred millions? Don’t be silly! $3.9 million is the figure, and considering that the UN itself is in such bad shape finan- | ecially, #t ought to satisfy us. It wouldn’t carry a Surveyor spacecraft very far; but that, we keep sternly reminding ourselves, has nothing whatever to do pillion illiterates!

Poor Ontario!

.We have always thought of Ontario as being not only the wealthiest prov- ince of Canada, but the most advanced in educational facilities as well. It comes as a shock, therefore, to learn” of the backward condition of “ts library services, as revealed in a sur- vey made by a New York library ex- pert. One Ontario citizen in four has no access to such services at all, the. report states. In many communities ‘the only:sources of books are anti- “quated privately supported “Associa- tion” libraries—an expedient of the last century which has long outlived its usefulness. oe

Nowhere are books more essential than as an instrument of learning at all ages and stages, Yet, the report finds, three out of-four Ontario -schools have: inadequate libraries. —§chool -reference-books.are. many. _years out of date.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Charlottetown lost one of its most esteemed citizens in the sudden death yesterday of Robert S.P. Jardine, re- ‘tired ‘manger of the local branch of the Imperial Bank of Commerce and active in many worthwhile move- ments for the benefit of the com- munity and province. The sympathy ‘of a host of friends will go out to his bereaved wife and family on this - occasion, :

BASIC PROBLEM

The Japanese Government's basic problem in its relations with other. Asians is to rid them of that suspicion. But the govern- ment has only a narrow area for maneuver, since Japan is as de- pendent as ever for its security on its tréaty relationship with” ‘the United States.

Tokyo is an imaginative move. The more nonaligned countries that Japan can get to this con-
