i No Cheers From China

- Russian astronauts were hurtling

e Soviet Union ahead in the race to e moon. This is believed to be the (step in a new series of Soviet

Papace shots” of truly gargantuan

ygoportzions. At Moscow there is endoua excitement, and in every p A capital the results are being ‘followed with intenselnterest. ff At Peking, perhaps, this Com- hiinlet achievement: is being viewed Hth less than the enthusiasm one “would expect. The Chinese are a poetical -people‘, and flight: into ‘R , may strike them as being less — [then the slump they are rdssperlenclng in Soviet trade A . V Last year, trade between Soviet Union and Communist eiruounled to about $900 mil. T1960 it was slightly over

II billion. and In 1900 slightly MI‘ one and a half billion.

This means that Soviet-Chinese trade has dropped fro the low eat. figure since the early 1950's, short- ly after the Communists seized power in China. An astronomical flight, you might call it, in _the wrong direction.

If the Soviet Union intended to help China in its time of severe dif- ficulty, it would have provided that country with goods despite the Chinese inability to give an equal exchange. And, on an ideological basis, this is what might have been expected. But this is not what has happened. The Soviet Union, intent upon its astronauts and plans for putting a “platform" in space for an assault on the moon, has left China to find its way out of its mundane problems as best it can.

This might be a consequence of th e Soviet-Clzinese disagreements which have become so marked in recent months. But, to a certain ex- tent it might also be a cause. The Soviet Union is known to drive hard bargains in its trade and foreign aid agreements with non-Communist countries. It seems to drive equally hard bargains with members of the (‘ommunisi bloc, when lh ese mcmbcrs are in trouble, as well as when they are not.

The Canada Medal

We agree with our Toronto con- temporary that it is time the Can- ada Medal was being put to the use for which it was designed.

Here's Hoping!

Now that we are into Old Home Week, let’: hope that we get a better share of sunshine than we have had for the most part this season. Th e farmers need it too, for their hay- ing operations. But.rain or shine, the big crowds are here, and the provincial fair management will do its best to provide the kind of enter- tainment that goes with this great annual get-together.

The harness racing events will feature the f aatest tnotters and pacem in Eastern Canada. Th etc will be magnificent display: of live- stock, lively midway features for young and old, fine handicraft ex- hibits and other attractions. But best of all is the opportunity pro- vided of meeting so many did friends and making new one: from all parts of the continent.

All roads lead to Charlottetown on this occasion, and with a decent break from the weatherman it is predicted that the fair will be the most successful in the long history of these girls events in this Garden Province. That’: saying a lot, but we have it from the horse’: mouth.

As far as Canada is concern- cd. the view ‘of civil servants here is —— rightly - that they have done everything that per- liament has required of them to salt-cuarrl Canadians.

Our F o o d and llrnus whicll rclzulnlr-s tlw sa such rlruc..-.', is nuc of our oldest statutes. It was basically up- dated by l"arllnmcnl in 1953.

The purpose of the act ofl course is to protect the Caua- l dian people against injury their health, as wcll as against 1 fraud in thc manufacture and ) sale of food and drugs. ,
