Price Spreads Commission
Though not originally scheduled to sit in this Province, the Royal, Commission on price spreads °f. f°°d products will hold a hearing in Cha.1‘- luttetown today. The hearing “U11 probably be brief, but there will be presentation at leastfrom the Fed- eration of Agriculture and the Co- operative Union. The results will be awaited with general interest.
This is an important Commis- siori, as may be gathered from its terms of reference. These are: (a) to inquire into the extent and the causes of the spread between the prices received by producers of food products of agricultural and fisher- ies origin and the prices paid by consumers therefor; (b) determine whether such price spreads in gen- eral or in particular cases are fair- and reasonable, or are excessive in relation to the services rendered; (c) make such recommendations as they deem appropriate if any such price spreads are found to be excessive, and (d) examine the adequacy of price information currently avail- able.
The Commission has just ended a two-weeks‘ tour of the Western Provinces, with disappointing re- sults. The chairman, Dr. Andrew Stewart of Edmonton, had to con- fess that he was “no less confused than when I started.” This was be- cause the briefs -submitted, while “very helpful”, contained “no con- crete evidence as to whether the price spreads are too large.”
Concrete evidence may be dif- ficult to produce in some cases, but it is to be hoped that the Atlantic hearings will give. the Commission at least a better insight into the problem. There is a general feeling among our farmers and fishermen that there is too great a gap between the prices they receive and those which are paid by the consumer. It is of ‘concern to both groups that such grievances be substantiated, as far as possible, by facts and figures. So far as our farmers’ case is con- cerned, there is no doubt but that it will be ably presented at today’s hearing.
Wily Propaganda An example of Russian propa- ganda against the United States-— propaganda hich American officials seem unable to do much about—is seen in a report to the Bishop’s
Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States.
It will be recalled that some months ago when racial troubles arose in Little Rock, Arkansas, the Federal Government sent troops into the area to enforce a Federal Gov- ernment order for integration of Cen- tral 'High School. This was done only after the Governor of the State had ordered National Guardsmen to - keep the Negro students out.
Well, an official of the Church referred to above has been in Africa making a survey of his Church's missions there. He now reports that all the non-whites whom he met on his travels had been led to believe- and do believe-—-that Federal troops intervened to keep the Negro child-
ren out of the school rather than to give them protection. ‘The same error is said to be widely held in Asia, too. We in this part of the world may wonder how it is that Zgaldabplalh falsification of the facts the Md: 8153} -credence, in View of States Gfverrllclty given the United time‘ But it trrtlifintts action at the that there are msm, be remembered 1on5 Of Deople in

of Governor Faul5us' defiance of the court. It is hard for foreigners, even literate ones, to grasp the distinction between State and Federal thinking in such matters—even when there are no wily propagandists around to spread the big lie.
. , / ' Mr. St. Laurent 5 I No“
Former Prime Minister St. Lau- rent is quoted as saying that he does not think it would be “seemly” for one who has been active in politics to accept the post of Governor-Gen-
'eral. This is taken in some quarters to mean that he would not accept the post if it were offered him.
It should be noted, however, that in his recent interview with the press Mr. St. Laurent did not state definitely that he would not under any circumstances consent to re- present—Her Majesty the Queen in Canada.
When .Mr. St. Laurent entered public life in 1942 he left a lucra- tive law practice because he con- sidered it a patriotic duty to do so. Notwithstanding his protestations now, it.is possible that if he were asked to assume the Vice-Regal post at the completion of Mr. Massey’s term and if he were convinced that the appointment would be received with public favour-—as assuredly it
_ would be—-he would consider the
call as an opportunity for further
_ public——-as distinct from political-
service. His statements made to the press‘ merely indicate the fact that he is not “in the running”, so to speak.
We have seen a good many press
‘comments regarding {the possibility
of Mr. St. Laurent’s being invited to succeed Mr.‘ Massey. Without excep- tion they have been in his .favour—— very definitely so.
In U. S. Interests.
We are of the opinion that one poin-t in the report of the Canadian trade delegation that visited Britain last fall has not received the atten- tion it deserves. This is the part of the report which states that better Canadian trade relations with Bri- tian must in the long run be of bene- fit not onlyto the two countries di- fectly _ concerned but ‘ to their-3 allies, Including the United, States itself.
“The strengthening of Canada's commercial relations with Britain”,
the report says, “must be to the .
ultimate good of the free world with- in the_Commor_iwealth or outside it".
‘This. Surely, is a reasonable view- point. Canada is still . the United States’ best customer and will re- main so, no matter how much trade is built up with Britain and the rest of the Commonwealth. But, the re- port observes, “while the develop- ment of this North-South trade is natural, it is believed that a greater diversification of Canada‘s external trade is in her long-term interests”. If this is true—and the economists appear to have‘ no doubt of it—it must be of concern to the United States which, in its own interests, to say nothing of ours, must desire a strong Canadian economy.

At the‘ annual dinner pf the Newspaper Press Fund in London Prime Minister Macmillan asked newsrnen to “keep a ready eye for such items on the international scene as make cheerful as well as inter- esting reading’-’. It is good advice, °f COUFSB; but finding cheerful items these days takes a lot of looking.

There is reported to be disap- pointment in London’s film circles over the Queen's decision not to at- tend this year’s Command per- -formance, an annual tradition. How- ever, the reason given by Her Ma- jesty will receive popular approval. In a letter to film leaders she ex- plained that she wanted to spend her limited time “amonga wider field of charities”.

F Indian Art
Europeans who think of Ameri» can Indians as characters in Wild West drama are finding them ir another roll at an art exhibi‘ of the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair.
The display, gathered from A merican miuseuims, has been set up at the United States Paiviil-ion It presents sculpture, pottery, je- welry, and paintings created by tribal groups from Alaska anc‘ the Northwest Pacific to ._thc _iPlain.s and Southwest.
One of the exhibits, carved by the Chumash of California, is a large ceremonial pipe in the foriir of a stone whale. Another is a wooden death mask made b; Tlingit Indians of Brilish Coluim foia. Among other tribes repre sented are Porno, Eskimo, Soiux, Zuni, ‘and Navajo.
FOR USE AND BEAUTY
The art of North American Iii- dians has always been highlyéspe-. cialiized, says the National Geo- graphic Society. It varies fron region to region, depending or
customs and beliefs of individual tribes, their technical skills, en- 'vironment, and available mater- lals.
Work may be simple or sophis- ticated, realisticor abstract. Art for art’s sake is almost unknown.
Silence In Egyptian Hall A
riie‘ Montreal Gazette On the evening of November 13, ,
1866 the American humorist, Ar- temus Ward, made his first ap- pearance before an English aud- ience. It’ was an anxious evening. , Artemus Ward had been very successful with his humorous talks before audiences in the U- nited States. But he knew well that American and British humor were worlds apart. And the hu- mor of Artemus Ward was very American.
The Egyptian Hall in London was crowded on that first night. Then Ward came down to the footlights and stood silent’. _He did ‘ nothing but twiddle his thumbs: in the most unconcerned way,’ while he lokked over his audience. , A minute or two passed. But such ‘ an interval of silence seemed far longer. -
The audience became fidgety. Someone could be heard saying: “What a fool Why doesn’t he say somethiiiig?” Once more a sil- ence fell over the audience, while the imperturbable man or the: stage did nothing but twiddle his thumbs.
By this time the audience was becoming annoyed. There was a murmur, followed by some stamp- ing of feet. Then the silence crept back. It became so deep that a whisper could have been heard,
At last, in a drawl, Artemusl Ward spoke: |
“Ladies. . . an'd‘. . . gentle- men. When. . . you. . . have. . ,
finished this. unseemly inter-- ruption, I guess I’ll begin my discourse ”
ELECTRIC SHOCK
One who was present that night has written: “It was as if an elec- tric shock had passed through the people. They had seen the humor of the situation. They rose to it. And seldom has a showman re- ceived such an ovation."
It was a trick, of course: and Artemus Ward had to take his chances in trying it out. Had the trick failed. his hopes of success might have been wrecked. But anyone who faces an audience knows that silence has its uses, quite as much as words. The are of its use is difficult. But it is compelling. T
But silence may also be de- vastating. W li e n the performer has 1' c a c h e d the point for ap- plallS(‘ and is greeted by silence only. he is left in a terrible iso- lation. This may happen to even the finest pci‘formci‘.<. if thcy haip— pcn to niisjiidge their audiences.

The three subjects of his speech were present. They remained s-il- ent and unresponsive. Longfellow sat erect, eyeing Mark Twain with a puzzled air. Holmes, in preoccupation, was fingering his: menu. Emerson, whose mental grasp was failing, paid no heed.

menceaiu, and it haunted lihose against whom it was turned. Once it was turned against Sir John French.
It was in the years just before the outbreak of the First World War. Sir, John was anxious to meet Clemenceau unofficially to discuss allied defences. The in- terview was arranged by the Countess of Warwick. CLEMENCEAU LAUGHED
Clemenceau came to the point quickly,‘ even abruptly. “A fig for the Entente.” What he wanted to know was how many men Eng- land could throw into the field when the German invastion be- gan.
Sir John French, es-tiimating the
mobile force at Aldershot, re- plied: “Forty thousand to a hun- dred thousand trained soldiers. Clemenceau laughed. But he la u g h e d silently. “A million would not be enough," he cried scornfully. And he laughed again. Of that moment the Countess of Warwick was to write: “. . . the silence was grimmer than any laughter that could have been heard. When I close my eyes I can see before me that tiger face

Such was the laughter of Cle-I

This laughter seen but not heard was a laughter so scorniful
it.
Peace
It is spine- chilling news, re-l vealed a dispatch from Neva-j da, that American planes loaded, with H-bombs on several oc- j casions set out to Soviet Russia on the strength of a false alarm. in plain words, they started off ‘ believing the big war had begun.
The most recent signal of this kind came from‘ the Distant Ear- ly Warning system —— the DEW line — in northern Canada. “Ene- my missiles" were reported show- ing on the radar screen. The at- om bombers took off. Eventually the things on the radar screen proved to be meteors or electron- ic distrubances.
On such a sum thread does our safety hang.
The U.S. Strategic Air Com- mand claims to have worked out , a plan that will prevent the “ul-7 timate mistake.“ Its bombers are sent out instantly when a warn-i ing is received. Then the warn- ing is checked. If it proves false, the planes are instructed to turn back. Indeed they are supposed to turn back anyway, if, within a certain distance, they do not get an order to continue to targets.
This looks foolproof. but is it’? What if something goes wrong with the receiving apparatus in one of the bombers and the pilot,

some infants may appeal‘ be cross-eyed. Call this to V0111‘ d9'°‘ tor's attention, too, if you notice it in your baby. Often the condi- tion is corrected as the eye m_u§- cles become stronger. But its best to have an expert on. to? 0f the situation just in case it does not clear up promptly.

Incidentally, you probably can predict the shape of your child's eyes._If you or your spouse have large eyes, chances are the youngster will have them, too.
If one parent has long lashes, it is likely that the youngster also will have long lashes. ' children generally will not have slanting eyes unless both parents have them. If either you or your spouse has slanting eyes; this trait probably will skip your children and then appear again in the next generation.
