training he figured a. president needs.

The developments of the cold war with R/ussia, however, have made the military loom larger for the future than even Eisenhower apparently was willing to prophesy months ago. Those who have talk- ed to the General say that he thinks -in his usual modest. way —-that he's about as well ayuipped to deal with the Russians in s military and diplomatic way as anyone.

Politicians think that if rela- tions with Russia get worse in- stead of better in the next. 8 1-2 years, Eisenhower may feel a strong pull toward politics.

He is certain to round out. his experiences in public affairs con- siderably before then as president of Columbia.

The White House announcement that Eisenhower was being called back in an active capacity said his jab would be "of relatively short duration."

But the Gmernl is coming back‘ to Washington at a critical time.

And his persuasive talents may well be used on Congress when it considers such measures as the proposed North Atlantic security alliance and the expectcd follow- thrcugh to help friendly European nations reform.

setting of assessment and other business, will be completed at this forenoon session.

In the afternoon, the dairymen will divide into three groups to dis- cuss the particular problems of the producers of butter, cheese and market milk. The meeting will then be reconvened at about 4.30, and the Association prizes will be pre- sented for proficiency in the differ- ent phascs of dairy work. Reports and recommendations from the afternoon meeting will be finalized at the evening session, which starts at 7.30. It is expected that Premier J. Walter Jones will address the Association at this meeting.

, Federation Meetings

All day Tifursday, starting at 9.30. will be given over to the P. E. I. Federation of Agriculture. The Board of Directors of this body is made up of representatives from the following organizations: the Dalrymen; Women's Institute; Swine and Sheep Breeders; Poultry Council; Potato Growers; Co-oper- ative Union; Credit Union League; Central Farmers‘ Institutes; Milk Producers‘ and Vendors‘; Fox Breeders and two directors-nt- large from each county. r. R. A. Profitt, president of the Federation, points out that tho work of the organization has grown considerably and is done on a vol- untary basis. I-is feels that the pre- sent form of the Federation should be extended to include direct con- tact with the rural districts with some form of stable financing. l-lc outlined two proposals to accomp- lish this. the first being the estab- lishment of two Regional Groups per County. The second proposal follows the practise in Nova Scotia, which calls for a system of Region- ai’ Groups made up of fivs or six school districts. These would form s county Federation which, in turn would appoint their representa- tives to the provincial board of the Federation. The annual Farmers‘ Week din- ner will be held at noon at The Charlottetown. Mr. R. A. Horn- stein, officer in charge of the Pub- lic Weather Office at Halifax and popularly known as "Your Wea- therman." will give a brief outiiho of weathei-Jorecasting and answer questions.

THE. Queenie!!-

The students of St. Damian's University hops to avail themselves of the opportunity to send one of their number to attend the I. S. S. Seminar to be held in Europe next summer. (This second article on I. S. S. will treat this phase of its work. which is often referred to-as "An Experiment in International Livingf’),

An International Summer Sem- inar, sponsored by thl Canadian Committee of International Student Service, was held at Ploen in the British zone of Germany from July 1 to August 15, 1948. This was the first large scale experiment in in- ternational education; The two main objectives of the seminar, as has been stated in the first article of this series, were- the develop- ment of international understand- ing and the demonstration of in- tsilectuai freedom. Both of these objectives were attained. Ons nun- dred and thirty young people (BO Canadians), representing sixteen nations were able to live in amity for six weeks, reach complete un- derstanding, and lsarn that, beyond the things which might divide them, there was a sense of their duty as members of the common- wealth of the mind.

A New Ideas Examined

The theme of the Seminar was "Recent Trends in Thought": an examination of the new ideas in the field of philosophy, the natural and the social sciences. The sem- inar gave all the students a new sense of their obligations and of the part they could play in the advancement of knowledge. It help- ed to overcome the intellectual ls- oiatlon of the Germans whose in- tellectual need is greater than the physical. In a world of warring ideologies, the C dian I. S. S. in the name of the Canadian Universi- ties, has done something concrete to re-educate the Germ n people and to gulds European s udsnts to the side of freedom and under- standing.

The project was financed by the Provincial Governments, which paid the transportation costs for the Canadian students; the Cana- dian Council for Reconstruction

The generll public is invited to attend the evening meeting at 7.30. Mr. Colin Groff. secretary of tha Canadian Federation of Agri- culture, will be the special speaker on food prices and their relation to the consumers‘ dollar and the pro- ducers’ economy. A discussion of the questions raised will follow.

Mr. H. W. Clay, senior livestock fieldman, Production Service and secretary of the P. E. I. Swine Breeders’ Association which meets on Friday at 1.30 p.m. has circular- lzcd his members fearing that many farmers, who have been attending the week's meetings, may want to ledve on the afternoon train. They would thus miss one of the most important and interesting meetings of the week. .

Bonuslng Policy

The Government is expected to announce a renewal of its policy to pay tha bonus only to Advance Reg- istry boars, states l-fon. W. F. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture. A film strip demonstrating the me- thod of carcass scoring under Ad- vsnced Registry policy will be shown, and it is expected that a qualified veterinarian will give a talk on the prevention and cure of diseases in swine. Mr. Clay hopes that the film which was produced on the Island in 1947, "I-log Fam- ily Supreme”, will be shown at this meeting. Although shown at points outside, this would be its first public showing in Charlotte- town.

Sheep breeders will also meet on Friday, and it is expected that the fillip given to this branch of agri- culture during the past year, when better carcasses were pmduced, will add something to the interest in Island sheep. The decline in this one-time healthy industry ls attri- buted to the fencing problem and, according to the Minister who re- ceives numerous reports, to the fox menace.

During the last sessions of the Federal House of Cominsons one Member of Parliament said that 146 Memb n out of the MB had been elected by ‘minority’ votes. “Tihe Slllfllg alternative vote seeks io correct this sltuartionflMr. Mar-i ml] gfld, "by allowing the voter to marl: his first, second and third choices on the ballot.

through U. N. E. S. C. 0., which made a grant of $10,500 to finance the seminar in Germany; and The Educational Branch of the British Control Commission in Germany, which procured the use of the fam- ous seventeenth-century Castle of Schioss Pion and furnished it. and also provided transportation from Holland. _ Another seminar, which possibly will be held in Holland, is planned foi- this summer. St. ‘ n's hopes to be able to send a student to take part in this session. The method employed in selecting Can- adian students was found to be very successful. '1‘ha financial help given them was an important factor in enabling the Committee to select representatives on the basis of their general fitness. Students were chosen on tha basis of scholarship and leadership by local university committees. To be eligible, a student must be within one year of grad- uation, and must fully intend to return to tha university in the fall.

Scores of Letters

The success of last year's sam- inar may be judged from scores of letters which-I. S. S. has receiv- ed from those who participated, testifying to the value of their ex- periences. The following are ex- cerpts from some of these letters:

"We learned to be men of the twentieth century. And let mo any, I as the best proof, that I myself‘ have never been so conscious before of democracy." (Xavier Lachcvre, France)

“Plosn is for me like a window, ‘through tha panes of which I have‘ often looked before but which was, opened now for the first time. I wonder whether it will be possible that such -a window can be closed - again?" (Maria Hark, Germany).

"Ths discussions between stu- dents of different background has been the most valuable part of the

Seminar." (Frederick G. Moote. Canada). "We got acquainted with the

democratic way of life, of purse not with tho practical working of a democracy, but with the demo- cratic process of thinking." (Harro Vass, Germany).

Prince Edward Island's 32nd leg- islature will open hero ‘Tuesday liberal Premier J. Walter Jones has predicted the session will pro- duca mostly amendments to pres- ent legislation. Included are mod- ification of the Labor Act and slight revisions cf the Education and Temperance Acts.

Premier Jones said today he did not think the Throne Speeui would include any legislation of a "start- ling or contentious nature" to the six-man Conservative opposition in the aft-seat l-iousa.
