CHARLOTTETOWN. FIi.lDAY. JAN. 18. 1952 Mr. Churchill Ami congress

Mr. Churchiills address to Congress yesterday will go down in history as one of the most outstanding orations ever deliv- cred. Its subject, its composition, its deliv- ery could hardly be surpassed by any liv- ing statesman.

The whole world is in a chaotic con- dition, war, rumours of wars, prospective wars here, there and everywhere through- out the world in which both the leading nations of the world, Great Britain and the United States, are more or less involved. The one. Great Britain. is sorely oppres- sed by financial difficulties, due as Mr. Churchill pointed out, not to any fault of her own, but by her generous financial sup- port to oppressed nations less better off than she was to oppose aggression and main- tain their nationhood; the other, enjoying a financial status and a plentitude of resources which has enabled her also now at the end of World War II, to come to the aid of less fortunate countries, which she has done generously and in a manner deserving of the highest praise and commendation.

Now the crisis has been reached. Will there, or will there not, be a Third World War followed by the extinction of Christian civilization? That is the present question at issue, and Mr. Churchill put it up, not only to Congress but to the world at large, to decide what the answer shall be.

The aged statesman let it be known that it depended wholly on- whether the United States will continue to join hands with Great Britain in opposing aggression with all the power at their command, in- cluding the use of the atomic bomb if all other means of defence failed. This met with loud, evidently unanimous, applause of Congress, which seemed whole-heartedly to support all that Britain's Prime Minister had to say in commendation of the two foremost Christian nations continuing to work harmoniously together till victory has been achieved.

Sault Ste. Marie Armory

T he newly completed armory at Sault Ste. Marie, the city on the busy waterway between Lakes Superior and Huron, is nat- urally the most modern in this country. The 951,500,000 building will provide accom- modation for 1,400 officers and men. A gunshed will house 20 big anti-aircraft guns and a garage will hold 40 heavy army vehicles.

In addition to the strictly military as- pects of the armory, it should prove a de- cided community asset, with its big drill hall able to hold 1,200 at sports events.or seat 3,000 when the floor is covered with chairs. A modern theatre will accommo- 'date 500 persons and in addition it con- tains iour bowling alleys. meeting rooms and lounges, a museum, library, hobby shop complete with a darkroom and equipment for metal and woodworking. It has, of course, a small arms range, six training rooms, four battery: offices and three army messes.

The Soo should have every reason to be proud of the new armory and, in this Prov- ince, Charlottetown may perhaps take its

difficulties in the way of providing a mod- em armory here can now be overcome, un- less sabotaged as were the Federal Build- ing plans by knockers from within.

The limit Atlantic Pact

What, asks an exchange, is the true pur- pose of the North Atlantic Pact? Mr. Churchill put it in a few words during his visit to Paris, just before Christmas. Mr. Churchill and Mr. Eden went to lunch with General Eisenhower at the Supreme Head- quarters, Allied Powers in Europe. Fol- lowing ,the lunch Mr; Churchill met Gen- eral. hower's ptaff.

Captain Kurt Carlsen, the heroic com- mander of the ill-flated S. S. Flying Enter- prise, "flew" by Pan-American Airways from London to New York yesterday, stop- ping for an hour en route at Moncton. He is one man who shuns publicity, but has had it thrust upon him. 0 I

Mr. W. A. Kember, assistant general freight manager of the Canadian National Railways, takes a decidedly optimistic view of Maritime trade prospects. "Unless some- thing unforeseen happens", he is reported as saying, "the business outlook for the Atlantic Provinces is brighter than for some years."

The proposal to stockpile civil defence equipment, particularly medical supplies, at points throughout this country calls for the location of convenient sites at a sufficient distance from actual target areas. Char- lottetown, within easy flying range of all important points in the Atlantic Provinces, should be in an ideal situation for the pur-

pose.

Argentina, which now proposes to barter farm products for oil from Iran and carry it in her own tankers, should be able' to caution the Iranians about nationaliration. The railways of Argentine, until taken over from the stockholders, were highly profit- able but the picture changed drastically when "foreign management" was elimin- ated.

O The revenue of almost 852,000,000 from pulpwood last year would have been all gain had good woodlot management been the rule rather than the exception. Farm- ers would have had their revenue and their holdings would have been as valuable as ever. In all too many cases, as reported by the Chief Forester, the source of sup- ply has been simply wiped out.

0 Q C

The slaughter of the innocents. Ac- cording to a report given at a recent meet- ing of the American Academy of Pediatrics, accidents killed 12,000 children annually. Another 30,000 to 50,000 are permanently injured. Between the ages of one and 14 more children die by accident than from the next six most common causes of death

combined.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling, Anglo-Indian was his short stories. His sphere of inter- est was the British Empire in all its man- ifestations from the big drums to the hum- ble outposts of empire in out-of-the-way places. He wrote of men of action and his poetry catches the native rhythms of Eng- land. It was, perhaps, his prophetic sense. which accounted for much of his influence. In his "Jungle Book" and its successor he showed a mastery of stories of animal life. 0 Q 0

An American Senator would like U. S. A. to "buy" Canada from Britain, part of the price to be the contributions made to Britain from the American European Re- lief Fund. Apart from the facts that Britain does not own Canada, and that Canada is not in the market, our friends to the South should know that Canada has shown no disposition to be absorbed by her big neighbor, especially now when we are on the eve of our greatest expansion in history. We may 'ere long be in a position to annex the U. S. A.

O

The dairy industry is declared to be "sick", but the importation of another two-and-a-half million pounds of New Zea- land butter next month or so is not calcul- ated to cure it of its malady. According to Mr. F. W. Walsh, Nova Scotia's Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture, the trouble is due largely to lack of clarity as to Federal authority under the British North America Act. Surely it should not be beyond the ability of pthc Federal Agricultural De- partment to devise ways and means of clarifying the situation.

FARM!-lItS' PROBLEMS

Sir,-I wish to use some space in your valuable panel to answer some of R. F.D's remarks on far- mers' problems.

Although I agree very much with him on many of his good arguments set. forth relating to farmers and their marketing prob- lems I do not agree on everything, oecause, do the farmers themselves always back lliose who do some marketing on their behalf?

I fed fl few hogs in my day and I know what: costs are and 1 agree with R RD. that no money can be made at present prices; I know too there is no money in raising poultry meat. or eggs--but what can be done? what has happened our trade in vegetables? in years past we used to be able to sell quite a few, but of late years things seem I0 be different.

Potatoes CCllllTlIllld ii good price and so does hcef but what assur- ances for any length of time for those who are reaily trying to get into the raising of 2,000 beef cal.- tlc?l know too our local Banks have clauses which help farmers in many ways, hut. lake beef cattle for example: they won't. lend mon- ey long cnouzh so a farmer can nnlmals establish foundation stock.

now many fnnners would stick behind producer marketing pol- icies, when at the some time there seems to be a sharp decline in the membership of their own organi- zation? Now I nm not. trying to say anything harmful to anyone. buti was Just. wondering if the farmers have their reasons. it so what are they?

RANDOM REFLECTIONS

Sir. - As I am a fillet of the soil and a feeder of swine, I don't pretend to have literary ability like Rev. W.I. Green or Arch. MaoKen- zie, who so often give good advice to the waywnrds. We appreciate their efforts. Then there are the critics: although we don't. always appreciate the spirit of their writ.- lng we do admire their ability to reveal their knowledge of the ques- tions at. st kc.

It is interesting to read some of the controversies and get the dif- ferent opinions of the writers; but the controversy over the invitations senl. out to attend the State dlnne: we fain would have had withheld.

DUCHEMIN EGG CARRIE!

"We are glad to learn that our ;ingenious fellow townsman, Mr. iwatson Duchemin, is about obtain- ing a patent. for all the United states for his egg carrier. I-Iis ap- plication has been examined and allowed. The egg carrier is made in separate compartments, each holding a uniform quantity of eggs. when put. together and fastened by a simple contrivance. it forms a strong box, with a cover lock end key to secure its contents. It can be taken apart. and put to- gether in less than five minutes. "The egg carrier can be made in different sizes to hold from seven to one hundred dozen eggs. and upwards. to suit. purchasers. It. is a highly important invention to those engaged in the egg trade. not. only for safe exportation. but for the saving of labour and expense in packing which it effects. A mere child can pack the cats. without fear of breakage or missing count. Each box, when filled, gives the exact. number. The egg carrier is a useful piece of furniture for no- tels and private families, and for safely sending eggs. to market. in carts or wagons, it is invaluable to the farmers. "Mr. Duchemln has already in- vented and patented a ship's block. and he has another useful inven- tion ready to be patented. which is s decided improvement on my- thing now in use in the same line." -Ths'Isls.nder, Feb. 10, 1871.

People write learned discussions which are intended to prove that Great Britain is finished as I great nation. We don't believe it and our disbelief has been height- cned bygn item we just. read in a British paper. The actors were playing "St. George and the Dra- gon" in which St. George is sup- posed lo slay the dragon with his lance. But it happened that the dragon's lance hit the lance of St. George at an inopportune second um. st. George's lance went flying off the stage, grazing the nose of the flute player in the orchestra. St. George never hesitated. i-le tuckled the dragon with bare hands, took his lance away from him and slew him right on sche- dule.

The countryman occasionally reads something that proves clv. ilizatlon is still on the upward path. The item about the farm- er who has taught his cows to rc- spond to a bugle is s pertinent ll. lustxation. There are many my men who can remember the frus- trating task of getting the cows from the pasture, especially in fly time. in spring and Fall the cows were usually waiting at the bars. But along In July and August. when files are thick and pestifen ous. the cows penetrated far into the evergreens at. the swampy cud of the pasture. A i4-year-older could hunt. for an hour or more in a large pasture before finding them. If cows were taught from calfhood to respond instantly to n bugle sounding, the clear, far- reaching notes of "Assembly" it would greatly simplify the situa- tion. The countryman believes he will get. hold of s bugle and try it out on his young stock. The way to change things is through young people. If a man starts his calves on a bugle routine it ought to carry over into bovine adult- hood. - Ottawa Journal.
