Premier's Conlerence

The conference of the Premiers of the four Atlantic Provinces at Halifax this week will. it 18 hopedy be conducive to closer co-0Pe1'3ll0" between the respective provinzlal governments. Perhaps this is the only way by which we can hope for my great improvement in our eco- nomic and transportation problems- 'At any rate, such meetings are to be commended. They can do no harm and may develop W0 !0m9'

thing of real value to all concerned.

One of the matters under dis- cussion is the Federal proposal to build thermal power plants In the Maritimes and the prospect of cheat?- er power for Prince Edward Island. As pointed out by Premier Mathe- son. construction of the Proposed Northumberland Strait causeway, apart from its other advantages, would enable transmission lines Lu be carried to Prince Edward Island from generating stations on the mainland.

It is to be hoped, too. that some- thing concrete will emerge from the discussion on Maritime claims for compensation for the large tracts of northern land given other Provinces at Ottawa. This is a matter which has been urged many times in briefs from this Province. The claim is still valid. A joint statement on the sub- ject from the Premiers' conference would at least serve to keep the issue alive.

Civil Defense

Presumably. the reason behind this Province's non-participation in the current Civil Defense exercises is that in the event of a nuclear, or any kind of aerial, attack on Can- ada, we should in all probability be kept outside the resulting fire and dutruction. And the basis of this thinking is the Island's non-Indust- rial status. Nuclear bombs cost I

In any event. even if we must assume that abhorrence of waste would triumph over recklessneg. -what justification is there for hoping that this Island would escape from the wrath to come? Surely. with bombs being as powerful as they are now. one dropped. say. in Hall- fax. Saint John or Argentia, Nfld.. might be expected to carry its de- vastating effect such a short distance as we are from any of these centres. No one seem to know whether Civil Defense, even on the most efficient scale possible, will be of much prac- tical use in the even of an all out nuclear attack. Some say one thing and some. another. Even the leadinc experts are in disagreement. But if it can, in fact, be relied upon as u reasonably effective method of as- suring survival to even a small part of the population, there would seem to be no good reason why one area should be considered less important than another in the overall system.

Without Enthusiasm

Under the constitution forced upon Japan hy the United States at the end of World War II, a military establishment of any kind was for ever banned. "Land, sea and air forces. as well as other war potential, will never be maintained" was the actual stipulation. For a while there was much opposition to this restric- tion of a nation's natural right; but gradually the Japanese got used to it: and today it is the Americans who are pleading for that section of the Constitution to be repealed and the Japanese who are lukewarm about repealing it. The Government seems to be in favor of rearming the country for defensive purposes, but there is strong opposition to it in parliament and public opinion is sharply divided on the issue.

It was. of course. an unrealistic constitutional provision from the start. But those were the days when, Germany and Japan having been de- feated. the United States and its allies were determined that never again would these nations be per- mitted to disturb the peace of the world. No one appeared to believe that another and even worse menace was rising in the Soviet Union.

It surely is one of the ironies of history that in order to meet this menace with strength, both Germany and Japan are being urged by other nations of the free world to arm themselves with dispatch and that neither of them is entering into the process with much enthusiasm.

EDITORIAL NOTES

"Some day, somewhere." said Sen- ator Hubert Humphrey of Minne- sota the other day. "the United States must take a stand." It is a happy sign that more and more re- sponsible Americans in and out of Government are coming around to that view.

I O An East German newspaper. an- swering criticism of the country's electoral system which allows only one-party candidates, said it is a "democratic" system because it gives voters the right to see that the can- didates carry out their promises. There is no such thing as that sort of democracy-anywhere, let alone

in a Communist state.

0 I I Mr. St. Laurent says he has "no doubt whatever" that he will go to the Commonwealth Conference as Canada's representative. Mr. Dieteti- baker. on the other hand. says that he is almost certain to be the next Prime Minister of Canada. It would be better if both were to keep their prophetic instincts in check for a little while longer. I D

An American inventor has put- ented a device for keeping earth- worms "in such good and VISOMIS condition as to make them better sdapud for use as Ming hilt or for breeding and transplantitll 101' I0" building.” This latter activity is real- ly the proper role for worms. al- mough it must be admitted that they sometimes render a service in tho other activity.

A Fortress Of Friendship

Ileath N. Macquanie in The Globe and Mail, Toronto A great fortress is being built l

on the bondary between Canada and the United States. But. do not be alarmed: this is a very special kind of fortification. For it seeks to protect peace and fortify friend- ship. This bastion nf good-will. the International Peace Garden, is a wonderful product of the imagin- ation of sensitive and dedicated men and women.

Today this fortress of friendship is a popular stopping place for tra- vellers and many people from near- ly all the states and provinces and from many other parts of the world visit it annually. But while the International Peace Garden is widely known today. a few years ago it was but a dream.

In 1073 Dr. Henry Moore.s Can- adian agriculturist. attended a meeting of gardeners in Green- wich. Conn. On the way home. glowing with warm appreciation of the lrlndly welcome he had re- ceived and the interesting people he had met. Dr. Moore had an Idea:

"Why not have a garden on the International boundary where the people of the two countries could share the glories found in a love- ly garden and the pleasures found In warm friendships?" EN'I'IIUSIASTICALI.Y RECEIVED

Dr. Moore did not lose his vision and within a year he presented it at the National Association of Amer- ican Gardeners meeting in Toron- to and was enthusliastlcally receiv- ed. A committee of 25 Americans and 25 Canadians was set up to study the situation. Dr. Moore was appointed on a bcommmee of

three to Investigate suitable loca- ,

lions.

From a farsighted man in the little town of Bolssevaln. Man.. this subcomml” received a sugges- tion whlch was to simplify their work.. W. V. Udall. editor of the Iloissevaln Recorder, inviuai them to look at the Turtle Mountain area in the southermost part of Manitoba. He believed the garden should be located where the peo- ple of the two countries could min- gle freely and cross the boundary with the least difficulty, tliereforo. he argued. that the garden should be on the broad plains at the boast of the continent.

In 1001 Dr. Moore and J. R. Dun- lop. of Ohio. made an aerial in- spection of the region in an air- plane provided by the slate of North Dakota. There was no doubt about their reaction. Dr. Moore exclaimed excitedly.

"What a sight greeted the eye! Those undulating hills rising out of the limitless prairies are filled with lake: and streams. on the south is unrecognluble boundary. wheat everywhere. and on the north the Manitoba forest reserve. What a place for a garden!" C0-OPERATION

Manitoba and North Dakota put

l.I'leTI1Selvr: behind the garden ides immediately. Frrm North Dakota came an offer of almost 900 acres. half of which was farm land, the rest tree-covered and gently undu- lating. Manitoba offered nearly 1.500 acres of rolling forest reserve with round-topped hills. crowned with birch tree snad studded with poplar. oak and willow at the low- er levels.

Soon the parent committee ac- cepted the 2.400 acres and Dr. Moore's idea began to take definite form.

July 14. 1932. was a proud day for Dr. Moore and the other friends of the peace garden. On that dry and dustry afternoon some 50,000 people gathered around a calm built right on the boundary line. Canadians and Americans stood together and with bowed heads re- cited the pledge which was Inscrib- ed on a bronze plaque. Led by the Bishop of Brandon they made this simple but moving vow:

"To God in His glory. We two na- tions dedicate this garden and pledge ourselves that as long as men shall live. we will not take up arms against one another."

Launched in the "hungry 30's." the International Peace Garden felt the effects of the Great Depression. In I934 the U.S. established one of its CCC work camps there. Roads were made, streams cleared. an artifical lake created and cab- ins and shelters erected. A great lodge was built from Canadian logs and United States stone. it In 105 feet long with a large adiotn- lng wing which serves as I dining room.

The Second World War naturally set back the work of building this fortress of peace. But in 1945 an ambitious long-range plan of de- velopment was undertaken. CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT .

A formal garden area is being built right on the border and will extend from the cair westward for nearly a mile. 'I'Zie1'e are sunken gardens. cascades. terraces and turf panels. a reflecting pool and finally a magnificent and stately Peace Tower.

There is a continuing develop- ment. of the trees. shrubs and flow- on. Thousands of plants have been set out and the gardeners" genius is displayed for months during the summer when a riot of color and

form greets the eye Groves of trees and a host of hardy shrubs suited to the sharp prairie climau have been planted.

Although mllniy supported by private funds In its early days the International Peace Garden is now receiving generous government aid. Congress voted 8100.000 for a three-year period. Tile Canadian Parliament used to give 815,000 a year but has since reduced the grant to 810.000. North Dakota and Manitoba also vote funds for the gardeo's upkeep. Froewlll offer-
