Tiade With China

Australia is the latest country-- and as far as He know, the first Commonwealth coiintryatc follow Britain's lead in esising restrictions on exports to Cfmimunist-controlled nations. According to a dispatch from the Australian News and in- formation Burcau in Canberra. Rus- sia and (lhina are among the coun- tries to which Australia is looking for new markets for farm products. Would it not be wise for Canada to take similar stops in trade expan- sion? China especially needs wheat and other agricultural products in large quantities. What is more, ac- cording to report: which have been published from time to time, they are not without the money to pay for them, at least in part.

One of these days, despite Mr. Dulles' inclinations to the contrary, the United Statcs is going after the China trade in it big way. This seems certain from American press opinion and from statements which have been made in the Congress in recent weeks. And when it does. other countries which enter the competition late are going to be at A serious disadvantage. At the pres- ent time Canada is probably in A better position than most Western countries to get in through the front door, as it were. But that situation won't last. If we wait until all other countries have made entry, we shall find ourselves receiving the leftovers from A lucrative business.

Britain's trade with China, for the most part, would not be com- petitive with Canada's. But Ameri- can trade would be and in A very heavy way, especially if the United States gets there first.

Historical Comparisons

President Eisenhower. comment- ing on the rather unkind thing! which have been said about him by certain American politicians in re- cent months, said that when he re- called the terrible things which were said About George Washington in his day he was quite "philosophical" About what he had to put up with. is not the analogy, however, A little far-fetched?

In Washington's time invective license was much more socially Ac- ceptable than it is today: Quite A few pemphletecrs. such as the cele- brated Tom Paine. virtually made -their living at it. Except for a few lofty exceptions, it was the stock in trade of the alert journalist No one paid much attention to it, except to laud it. A political organ which did not lay up an abundance of abuse to fire at its opponents was likely to go unread. Bcsidcs. Mr. Washing- ton. for all his high qualities. was not above replying to his detractors in kind. it was expected of him. According to the contemporary fash- ion. it was the thing to do.

Perhaps A better comparison for Mr. Eisenhower's comfort would be the life and times of the late Frank- lyn D. Roosevelt. The offensive re- marks which have come Mr. Eisen- hower's way are child's Pl8.V 00'"- pamd with the slanderous onslauillltl which hit Mr. Roosevelt daily. But here, it must be noted. Mr. Eisen- hower's philosophy must be evaluat- ed In line with A noticeable dis- cnpgncy between the pultllc lP' pi-Aisals of the two men.

Even now, the President's de- tractors, in public at least. are con- fined to A very small circle. Perhaps that fact, all things considered. should be more comforting to him than recollection of the much harsh- er treatment that was accorded the "Father of his country".

Universal Problem

Wherever teachers get together these days one problem that is sure to come up is the shortage in their ranks. That this is A worldwide an- noyance to educators and an impedi- ment to educational development is indicated in A report from Frankfurt, West Germany, where delegates from 40 free world countries and nepresenting 3 million teachers have just concluded their annual meet- ing. Reports submitted to the or- ganization-The World (loni'edci'a- tiop of Organizations of the Teacu- ing Profession-reveal that in only A few communities is the situation improving; in most it is getting worse.

Several suggestions were miivie for solving the problem, chicf of which was A higher salary scale (which shows that big organizations in this field think very much as the little ones do). "A siillstantizil ini- provement in the salaries of teach- ers relative to the salaries of com- parably qualified professional people would be an importzml, and perhaps the main, contribution to solving the problem," the report states.

Other recommendations were fl) Improvement in teachers pensions. (Canada was one of the countries mentioned as negligent in this re- gpect.) (2) Provision for more per- manent appointments of teachers and improved sick leave arrange- ments. (3l Continuation of pension payments for retired teachers sum- moned back to the classroom (Ail Payment to married women teach- ers of salaries comparable to those paid to men.

In the main, these are similar to suggestions offered from time to time by teAchers' org'.inizations on the local level.

the references to the Queen by l.nrd Altrinchsm. And perhaps they would be All the more Ap- propriale, As this book review

it will be seen from this quot- Atlon that Lord Altrinchsm i tcmpernmenfally given to cast- ing restraint to the winds . But when this type of thinking And writing is turned Against the Queen. the "stylistic lnfeliclty" becomes particularly painful.

This is not to sAy tliAt A mon- Arch should be beyond criticism. But there Are ways of sAying things. As the Archbishop of Canicrbiiry hAs remsrked: if he had Advice to give. he could have expressed it in A much more suitable wAy." 0l'T OF PLACE

For Lord Altrincham was not simply speaking about A person who happened to be Queen. He was Ito recall Sir Winston Chur- chill's words in l93.'lI speaking About "the lady whom we res- pect because .-he he our queen. and whom we lose because she is herself"

it was of this lady that he spoke. when he AAld her speech- rs were "A pain in the neck." that "like her mother. she Ap- peArA to be unAbIc to Airing Avon A few sentences together without A viriiten text," that she should remember that the day will come "when she has lost the bloom of youth."
