it was not discourtesy on the part of Prime Minister Church not to gixe Pi-emieri Joseph Laniei time to make a formal statement of his position to reporters and the general public. It is all very well in the sporting world for the coach of one side to announce in emphatic terms just what they are going to do to the other side. In diplomacy it is apt to add to the difficulty if the prospective negotiators dc-, clare their stands and then meet to see, how far the others are willing to make' concessions.

The essence of negotiation is flexibility, and on a global scale the flexibility must. indeed be great. To gain vital points it may; be necessary to concede others which may; seem of almost equal importance. The pre- sent Bermuda conference may well be con-, ccrncd with problems in almost every continent, all ofthem important: but none so, important as staying on the right track in:: order to achieve a world security. I

France, the United Kingdom and the, United States each

have their own prob-l lems. They also have problems in common with the rest of the world. Even Russia. for all that the Soviet Union may distrust, the proceedings there. has an interest in the true success of the Bermuda meeting. if wise policies are agreed upon ti19.V Will in the long run benefit the Communist and nc:i-Communist alike.

A Fine Potato Display

A move in the right direction was made by the Potato Marketing Board in decid- ing to stage a first-class exhibit of Prince Edward Island potatoes at the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto last month. This kind of publicity should prove of incalcuiable value to our producers and shippers. particular- ly if it is followed up by further weil-di- rected advertising and by concentrating on consumer appeal, which means not only supplying the variety and quality of po- tatoes required,for table use, but of pack- aging them in the most convenient and at- tractive. form. Already some progress has been made in this direction, but the field is a highly competitive one, in which wel, must keep constantly abreast of the times.;

Some excellent pointers were given in yesterday's article by ,Mr. S. G. Peppin,

la great extent on oui' ability to sell to

the impact of the defence pt'ogram has probably passed its peak." he said. He pointed out in addition that "we cannot overlook the fact that our export trade has not been quite as good this year as in 19.)2."

Reviewing the increase in bank lend- ing. Mr. Frost. the bank's general man-

ager, observed that loans by the chartered .

banks had risen by some 55650 millions to nearly 953,900 millions in the year endedi September 30th. To an important degrec' this increase reflected the continuing growth of the economy. It also reflected, the high level of grain supplies and the! very pronounced expansion in consumcri credit purposes. ,

Discussing Canada's current position, Mr. Frost pointed out surplus with overseas countries had dc- clined and our deficit with the U. S. in- creased with the result that we were run- ning a considerable overall deficit in our current transactions. ”Some of our friends in the United States who are currently pro- posing new restrictions against imports, in- eluding such important Canadian products as lead and 7.inc. frozen fish fillets and oats, should take a good look at their trading relations with Canada. They should ob- serve that their current transactions with Canada result in a surplus for them now running at considerably over 351,000 mi!- lions per annum. They should realize that our ability to buy from themeand we are by far their largest consumer--depends to

l

them. They should reflect on the obviousi fact that demands for protection against U. S. imports are growing in this country, in part because their market is so diffi- cult for many of our producers to enter, and also because of threats that are too frequently raised against Canadian pro-J ducts which have gained a position in thci U. S. market."

island Story contest

As will be noted from an advertisement in today's issue, the Historical Society is sponsoring a contest for the most interest- ing stories about Prince Edward Island. The stories may be in the form of tradi- tion, legend or folklore and they will not be judged on their literary quality but on their merit as authentic annecdotes. If at all possible, the source,.as well as the loc- ale, of each story should be given. Prizes of 35100, 5550 and 3930 are being offered, and it is the hope of the Society that some picturesque material relating to our pioneer past: will come to light as a result of the contest.

Primarily, however. stimulate interest in the achievements of our early settlers and their immediate descendants, who bequeathed to us the rich heritage of this Garden Province: in their lives from day to day as reflected in tradi- tions which are still remembered by our elder citizens, but will soon have vanished beyond recall. It is a worthy objective, and

the object is to!

technical adviser to the Board, in com-

menting on the success of the Toronto ex-, hibit. The most important point raised by

the majority of consumers, he said, was the lack of the variety name on the pack- age. The housewife wants to know ex- actly what she is purchasing and will pay a premium on goods of the kind. flavour and quality she prefers. Above all, the product must be consistently up to the standard advertised. That is the key to successful advertising of any kind, and it is one which our seed producers followed with outstanding results in developing the American market. Today it is more im- portant than ever in maintaining our pres- itige in table stock requirements, both at home and abroad.

Unparalleled Progress

Canada's post-war expansion has lie:-iii unparalleled in the free world. By 1980 we may have 25 million people. producing more than two and a half times our pres- ent national output, H. L. Enman, president of the Bank of Nova Scotia told share- holders at the' Bank's 122nd annual meet-' ing this week.

Reviewing Canada's "eighth successive year of growth and prosperity," Mr. En- man noted that the population is increas- ing at nearly 2 U2 per cent annually- considerably higher than in the U. S., and that capital investment this year is likely to reach 335.6 billions. Growth of Canadian production had far outstripped the popula- tion rise. Canada today is producing more than twice as much as just before the war. and two and a quarter times as much as in the 1929 boom. Assessing the busi- ness picture of the present year. Mr. En- man said that the main expansive influ- ences have been the further increase in capital investment and the higher level of consumer buying. The chief factors behind the increase in capital investment were the further large-scale development of re- Iourou and larger outlays for homes, hoo- vi roads and shopping centres. "Out-

a most practical one. The Society has al- ready seored a success in its historical exhibition of last summer, and it is felt that the story contest will also prove of value and interest.

An intriguing mystery faces the Post ,Officc. Each year for several years a horse ;coliar has turned up in the dead letter office as being improperly packaged or ad-. dressed. Great novels have been written on less promising suggestions. ,

Reports indicate that. the United States proposes to establish an army training ,camp in New Brunswick, adjoining the inew Canadian Camp Gagetown. If an agreement. has actually been reached for training American troops there it. should give a very great stimulus to the standard- ization programme for methods and equip- ment. '

Claude Monet, French artist, died this date i926. Perhaps one of the most im- portant artists within living memory and a leader of the Impressionists, he was es- sentially a painter of light. His efforts to analyse light pictorially into its component spectral colours greatly influenced the de- velopment of art. Although he painted cathedrals and public buildings, his most characteristic work was lovely river scenes.

THE FALL OF THE PILTDOWN MAN

air, - The Piltdown Man, ac- cording to a recent London des- patch in The Guardian, has fal- len low from his pedestal in the life history of man; -e a pedestal that he has occupied for the past forty years. On the highest scienti- fic authority in his native land he has been pronounced n gigan- tic -pseudo-scientific lmposture. This pronouncement, it is true too, confirms tihe opinion held for some time by several em- inent American scientists. And now our young tru-th-loving stu- dents at Prince of Wales College, and cchcr colleges -too, will have to look elsewhere to find an ape- like ancestor to fill the gap left in their ancestral genealogy by the removal therefrom of the Pill.- dovrn Man. r

Devotees of niicestml worship. however, may be content. to leave this gap unfilled. And speaking here of ancestral worship, we are na-tunally reminded of it famous statement made by Ernst. I-Iae-ckel, the great; German disciple Charles Darwin. In one of his discourses on the. evoluttion of species, the German disciple re- ferred to as certain primeval verte- brate fish, and said that to his mind this primeval vertebrate was worthy of more reverence than all the monks of antiquity. for here he said in this humble species he found an ancestor of himself and the whole human race.

To this profession of Ancestral worship rm the port. of Ernst I-Iaeckel, our own great. Canadian scientist, Sir Willia-m Dawson, of world-wide fame replied, in el- fect, as follows: There is no no- counting for taste, but. Ernst

-Mt-:1 must. pardon some of us if we still prefer the genealogy t. ....).u in Holy Writ, Luke 3 which coiiclud:s as follows: . . . which was the son of Enos; which was the son of Seth; which was the son of Adam; which was the son of God.

There are !.ill. I trust. Bible readers among us who when it comes to ancestral reverence pre- fer the genealogy described in Luke 3 to that. described by Hneckel, which is, of course, the identical genealogy that. the Filt- dovm Man was supposed to prove.

These readers will" neither be greatly surprised nor sorry to learn that notwithstanding the

attempts to fill the gap between man and the apt: with Piitdown men and other ape-like men, the izreat gap still yawn; as wide and deep as ever. I am, Sir. etc,

I am quoting from his letter because I feel that any comments on this strange aberra- tion of democratic thought and practice are of general interest at He writes: here nobody seems to understand just whzit Congressional Commit- tees and auh-Committees on un- American activities are trying to do. In fact there is some feeling that the Committees themselves are working in the dark with no clear-cut understandiiiig of their term: of, reference or even of their own motives. If they are really trying to ferret. out 0ommunist..s from government positions it. must be clear to anyone of average in- teliigenoe that they are going about it the wrong way. They sue wasting so much time on examin- ing 'fringe' suspects that. the real villains, assuming there are some. have every oppori.unit.y't.o burrow further and further unxlerground.
