Suggests Rolarians Ilse Influence

The Rev. Daniel Fogarty, Tor- onto, told Rotarians at their luncheon yesterday that they are exerting a powerful influence to- ward a better world. and that_ they might go much further. He sug- gested that not only as a club, but as individuals they take a personal interest in organizing the sandlot games of the rising generation. The Rotarian could personally supervise to see that the biggest or toughest boy was not always the pitcher or catcher andlthat the ideals of fair played were observed.

This spirit which could easily be fostered on the sandlots might also be carried over into our internat- ional relations, said the speaker. The world would be a lot more

comfortable place if the big nat- ions did not always want to play the principal roles delegating the smaller and weaker nations to the outfield or even to the spectators bench. '

Rev. Mr. Fogarty said he has had e warm regard for Rotary ever since the club in his home town made it possible for him to attend summer camp when he was e small boy. Members of the club seem to be always doing good, and just as important he knew that they en- joyed themselves while they were et it.

Commenting on the rise of Oct-n- munlam and Fascism, thg speaker said both these forms of totalitar- ianism were nurtured in countries where the majority of the people were dissatisfied. Fascist govern- ments glorified the state and typi- fied selfishness on a national scale. Communism exploited a political grudge and the leveling of classes. In both forms of dictatorship the people have no rights and those in authority have powerful armed forces for Chg suppression of any unrest.

In our democracy, said Rev. Mr. Fcgarty, we can change a govern- ment by our vote, but that does not. mean that everybody gets their rights. We have heard of many injustices. People have been neglect- ed or illused, others have suffered discrimination. None of these faults is inherent in democracy. but un- less we are on our gudrd they will occur. Rotarians should be so scrupulous in their dealings with each other and the public that they as individuals build up a repu- tation of personal integrity and willingness to assist. any person in need of advice ‘or assistance of any kind. If all Rtotarlans stood firmly for individual rights and made it their personal business should anyone be deprived 0f his rights theh there would be no self- ishness, no world crisis, no social problem. and no war.

Rotarians Tom Mitchell and Ed- win Johnstone were chairmen. The newest Ttoterian daddy. Walter Cox was congratulated and M95911!“ with a silver cup by Gewle Waiters. Guests yesterday included Lt. Mur- 11y Waymouth. Dr. A. L Macfsaac. Rev. J. W. McCardle, Mr. Joseph MacIsaac, Charlottetown, and Mr. R. Rawethome, Montreal. y

They then drilled through a strongbox in the Libman Diamond Company office and took $10,000 in diamonds before going to the Lady Raymar Pearl office where they got an undetermined amount of loot from a money box.

Hon. H. H. Cox In Budget Debate '

In a scrles_ of rollicking ex- changes with the Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Harry H. Cox, minister without portfolio, set out to answer Opposition criticism of the Government during the debate on the Budget last. evening.

Early in his speech, however, he was effectively challenged - and silenced - by trmember from his own side of the House. When Mr. Cox stated that fishermen should provide their own "holding-rooms" for the frozen bait from the Char- lottetown cold-storage, he was vehemently challenged by Mr. Hector Richard tL-lst Prince), who made the suggestion in an earlier speech.

"May I ask the honorable mem-

\

ber if he has ever used bait that was frozcn and thawed and the bones stick out like mushrooms?" asked Mr. Richard.

To the attempted explanations of Mr. Cox, Mr.’ Richard declared amidst general laughter and ap- plause, "If we want “holding- rooms" we want them right. And, I don't want you to contradict me on that story, mister."

Mr. Cox quickly took up the problem of the Dingweil road and proceeded to enumerate the in- novations brought to the Province by the Liberal Government since taking office in i935.

He and the Opposition leader engaged in party banter over the comparative conditions of roads in 1985 and 1948. Mr. Cox, however, felt there should be a new bridge at St. Peters.

Advocating heavier

fines for

violation of fishery regulations, Mr. Cox stated that fishermen "were just ruining themselves,

taking the small lobsters."

loads, I received in American funds $200 to e300 less than I had paid ‘for them in Canadian funds. And yet with those conditions everybody concerned made highest profits out of exchahge."

"Great Mistake."

It was a great mistake on the part of the Dominion Government and a severe blow to the Maritime farmer. potato-grower, fisherman and iumberman, he reiterated, when the Government brought the two currencies up to the same lev- el in 1946.

“'I'hat premium on U. S. funds." he told the House, “brought for more United States dollars to this country than did ever the auster- ity measu ea imposed .on our people by radio in November i947. Had things been left as they were in 104d we would have had lots of American dollars for all purpose! for which we needed them.”

w. Hatfield further attacked the Government for buying im- ported starch with herd-to-come- by United Slates Canadian dollar! instead of encouraging the man- ufacture of starch from Canadian potatoes. This starch was being imported from outside the coun- try when it could be efficiently manufactured ln Canada.

Tmmedietev after Mr. Hatfield’: remarks on the effect of forelln exchange control on basic indus- tries in the Maritime]. the ex- change control bill was canted bv the House on division and now moves into committee stages.

Calls For Madurily In Co-op Movement

WINNIPDG. March 21-“1 call for maturity The co-operatlve movement must be more than a fraternal society. with a secret password called membership and a special benefit called patronage dividends," stated Ralph Staples in his presidential report to the_ Can- adian Co-operative Congress in Winnipeg recently. "The co-oper- ative movement must be more than e. monastery behind whose walls we seek to insulate ourselves from the stormy winds of our eco- nomic life."

Referring to the fact that the Congress marked the fortieth an- niversary of the Co-operatlve Un- ion of Canada. Mr. Staples paid tribute to the pioneer work done by Mr. George Keen, former sec- retary of the Union. with little more than an idea as their in- strument, Mr. Keen and three as- sociates dared to organize the Co- operative Union of Canada at Hamilton, Ontario, in I909. Prom this tiny beginning the cu-operat- ive movement in Canada has steadily progressed until "it stands today on a solid foundation of en- lightened understanding unified as never before. strong in the certain knowledge that the application of ro-operetlve principles haabrought a better and fuller life to man- kind."

However. Mr. Staples stressed the fact that the real test of strength for the movement will be in its ability to meet the demands of the future. Grown from rather isolated neighborhood organizat- ions with llmited problems to a countrywide network with whole- sales and factorial, the oo-ops are rapidly reaching economic matur- ity. This new status poses new questions.

"Can the co-operatlve move- ment resolve the industrial con- flict?" asked the retiring presid- ent. "Can it give dignity and security to men who just run ma- chines? Can it provide the people with purchasing power to buy the goods they produce? Can it main- taln a proper standard of iivinl without exploiting a colony or a class?"

To illustrate more clearly the type of problem now facing ro- operators, Mr. staples cited the conflict between producer and consumer. He stated his belief that this conflict rnuet. be resolved since previous efforts to gain the advantage for either party have led to monopolistic practices, na- tionalism end war.

In the pest co-nperatlve theory held that. efficient opentlone in the interests of numerous individ- uei groups of producers and con- sumers would of necessity mean a satisfactory overall result. ft now becomes nuite apparent, said Mr- steples, that this piecemeal plan of attack will not solve the mater problems facing mankind. lie evi- dence of this feet he recalled a recent meeting of eo-owstivt

Red Reaction To Atlantic Pact As Expected

By J. M. ROBERTS, Jr. , Aroociafed Prcls News Analyst

Russian reaction to publication -of the terms of the Atlantic pact lhas been about as expected.

Coupled with more or less co-

incidental developments in the dispute over Berlin, it brings the war of words to a. new crescendo, but without any sign of new ac- tlon. -The text of the put is being published and broadcast through- out the Soviet Union against e background of weeks-long prepar- ation in dispatches from Tass cor- respondents all over the world in- terpretlng it as a Western move toward war.
