Surely Not A Moses!

We are told from London that million- aire Lord Woolton has been chosen to be ii Moses to revive the Conservative Part y. Surely this is an inapposite comparison. The Conservative Party is not in Egypt nor can the Labour Government be considered slave drivers. Besides, the Israelites had to livc forty years in the wilderness after being lctl out of Egypt, and surely the Conservatives do not contemplate such a pilgrimage before they get back into office.

llre We Becoming Tropical?

Are our seasons changing to the tropi- cal? Professor G. H. T. Kimble and Pro- fessor F. K. Hare, both of McGill Univers- ity's department of geography, says the Telegraph-Journal, have , been studying meteorological reports kept through the years at various Canadian centres, in an effort .to find out what's happening to our climate. After long and exhaustive re- search, tliey’ve ‘come up with the verdict that summers are getting longer and hotter, and winters are getting milder. They say that this trend has prevailed for at least three-quarters of a century and has rc- cently been growing more marked. Of course, they qualify their findings with the statement that the available data does not go back far enough to be conclusive, since it only covers seconds on the clock of the earth's progress. But they seem to think we are at last at the tail-end of an ice age which was at its depth 1,500,000 years ago. They note that glaciers are receding and that the permanently frozen subsoil of northern Canada is slowly melting. All this is unlikely to make very much differ- ence to this generation, or the next, or the next, or the next. The change in climate won't be‘ that rapid.

Mr. Rowe's Problem

In a revealing speech to the Canadian Exporters Association recently, Mr. C. D. Howe, Minister of Trade and Commerce, in- dicated the Government's thinking about the prospective drop in Canada's overseas ex- ports. He feels, in brief, that an abundant domestic market in Canada will go farito absorb products formerly shipped abroad. “The maintenance of a generally high levcl of domestic prosperity," he said, “is a mat- ter of prime importance to exporters, as well as to everyone else. It has meant in many cases that a profitable domestic mar- ket has been able to fill the gap created by restrictions in our export markets." Ilc cited figures in this connection in the case of automobiles, farm implements, and office and electrical equipment.

' "It has to be realized, however," says the Winnipeg Free Press, “that the abundant domestic market which is absorbing more and more of our Canadian production is abundant mainly because our export trade is high. When Canadian farmers, lumbermen. miners, fishermen and factory workers can sell their products outside Canada they have

, ‘money in their pockets to buy Canadian

goods. _ “ s proved again and again throughout Canadian history a serious drop ln foreign exports instantly lmpoverlshes a large part of the Canadian population, reduces its, con- sumptlon of Canadian as well as foreign goods and thus slows down the whole na- tional economy.

“The same effects must follow any large reduction In export trade now. The mos-t obvious fact of the Canadian economy is that It has been built to fit export trade, that large amounts of its products can not be sold in Canada (wheat being the most notable example) and that the domestic

. ma)“; cannot possibly replace any large ' segment of the foreign market. "Mr. Howe’: problem as Minister of

Thc chartered M. C. A. aircraft which took a full load of Islanders to and from the Royal Winter Fair should be the pre- cursor of many such flights. The farmer cannot afford to be long away from his fzirm (hiring busy seasons but he has much to gain by attending such fairs.

The Senate is taking notice of the farci- cal Daylight Saving Time situation in this (‘Ollllll‘_\'. Generations ago we achieved thc benefits of standard time zones but these are largely lost by the practise of individual municipalities going their own way altering

the clock.

"In time we hope to have a new naval reserve division in Charlottetown," De» fence Minister Claxton has told the Coni- nions. Naval minded Islanders have had that hope for some time and had further hoped that the Government had got as far

as intentions.

In London the Archbishop of Cantor- bury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, delayed making a speech at the Authors’ Club because he had left his pipe at home in Lambeth Place. “I cannot make a good speech without my pipe," he explained. A hurried call to his home brought the pipe—by taxi.

The Communist Party in Britain had a registered membership of 40,161 at the end of March, 1949, the party executive report- ed recently. The report, covering the period from February, 1948, to July, 1949, said that so far 70 prospective parliamentary candidates have been selected. O O O

A story with a moral. “Woodrow Wil- son," says The Public Speaker's Treasure Chest, “was once asked ho\v long he took to prepare a ten-minute speech." “Two weeks," he said. “How long for an hour speech?" “One week". “How long for a two-hour speech?" “I am ready now."

o o o‘ Thanks to the many Government com- missions giving employment to highly paid counsel at the public expense, in 1947 lawyers earned the highest income, with an average of $7,822 per annum; the doctors coming next with $7,666; engineers and architects third with $7,452. Then there was a drop to $2,156 to employees in busi-

ness enterprises.

The continued arrival of unauthorized immigrants from Baltic countries provides u headache for immigration authorities. Their courage and determination in crossing the Atlantic in inadequate vessels augurs well for their prospects as citizens, but to permit them to do so would mean that others would be encouraged to follow, perhaps to meet

with disaster.

Fluorescent lighting, like Minerva from the head of Jupiter, seems to have arrived fully developed into the modern world. Most of us, however, are hardly yet accustomed to this means of illumination which is seen everywhere. What is urgently required is some means of being properly introduced to this phenomenon so that we will neither ex- pect the impossible nor be imposed upon "oe-

Another Jenny Geddes but with an um- brella instead of a stool. A rumpus oc- curred in the French network station of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ln Montreal when a middle-aged woman entered the fourth-floor office of the radio station, demande to be shown a producer, an announcer and a program in production, berated the station for the guality of its program, and brought her umbrella down on the head of a young French-Canadian actor. CBC officials kept mum about de- tails of the incident apart from admitting the visit was a bit more unusual than most of their visits from the public. The lady

was ushered out quietly.

TIIE LONG HILL

I must have passed the crest a while ago

And now I am going down- sirange to have crossed the crest and not to know,-

All the morning I thought: how proud I should be

To stand there straight as a queen. Wrapped in the wind and the sun

It was nearly level along thebeaten track

And the brambles caught in my gown- But its no use now to thlrilk of

turning back. The rest of the way will be only going down.

The’ Ovlldlesflfehurch In France

(By Daniel Reps) Returning frommy holidays I was much tempted to turn aside to visit the charming church, the dainty masterpiece on the ban-ks of the Loire, which seventeen centuries have failed to destroy. the Garolingien chapel of Ger- migny dcs Pres. Tourists go flocks lo visit St. Benoit sur Loire, thc wonderful Aibbcy church of Fleury. Hut too few visitors re- member that three miles away, there stands a monument of beauty and mystetiy, whose tower reminds us of the minaret towers of Aratblc Spain and whose mosaics can well stand comparison with those of Ravenna and Byzantium. You arrive on a small empty village square. Behind the light foliage curtain of tamarlsks the church stands in its brown and pink structure with I7WO antique columns in front of it and topped by its unadol-ned tower. straightaway its impression strikes us: sn-iall though it ls, the size of a mere roadway shrine. the building radiates strength, poise, majesty. The combination and balance of the masses lu-e perfect. It ls history itself, it lll the past, which here upholds the building and makes ll. indestruct- ible. Quietly slttlng in its rustle garden this miniature chapel chal- lenges time. 1t was some time near 800 A.D. perhaps about 806-811 that Theo- dulf, an illustrious scholar, a re- fugee from Spain (whence he had ﬂed to escape the terrors of Islam) came to the court of the Emperor Charles. who adopted hlm as one of his favorites.
