AUGIWT 20,0 I950 outlawing or The communists The outlawing of the Communist Party by the United States Congress has been ex- pected for some time. Whether it will re- sult in a strengthening of United States in- ternal security remains to be seen; bLlt certainly it will not be received with im- mediate commendation by all those who are anxious to see Communist subversive activities made as difficult as possible. Both President Eisenhower and Attorney-Gen- eral Brownell were against the proposal from the start on the ground that it would only drive the Communist apparatus deep- er and deeper underground where it would be much harder to reach by normal secur- itv methods. Ille two Congressmen who voted against it, Representatives Usher Burdick, Republican of North Dakota, and Abraham .Vlutler, Democrat of New York, took the view tlult the legislation was too much like "otltlzluillg a man for what he thinks." It can be taken for granted that the new legislation will provide another propa- ganda weapon for Communist leaders who will say that freedom of thought is now forbidden in the United States. It will also tend to make martyrs of individuals, al- ways a dangerous thing when any partic- ular faction is out to make all the trouble it can. Furthermore, the fact that the legislation was passed despite Presidential disfavour will help to aggravate the tensions between the executive and legislative bran- ches of government which already have weakened, or at least disturbed, national unity on common problems. However, all friends of the United States in this country and elsewhere will hope that the new law will work out as Congress believes it will, to the more ef- fective control of the Communist menace and to the protection and benefit of free political institutions. It can be assumed that other free world governments and par- liaments which, thus far, have not seen fit to add ally such legislation to their own security techniques will be watching the experiment with considerable interest. lndla's Growing Industries The young republic of India, where nearly a seventh of the world's population lives, is reaching for more oil to fuel its industries and drive the engines of an in- creasingly mechanized society. In Bombay on the west coast, an American oil com- pany is goinl: into production soon with a .'ii35,00(l.0fl0 rcfincry. A still larger plant being built. by a British concern will open next year in the same city. Another American refinery is under construction on the east coast at Vizagapatam. Together the three operations are expected to meet most of the country's needs. India has little crude oil of its own, the National Geographic Society points out. The only working fields of importance are in Assam province in the northeast. They produce less than a tenth of the demand. India's oil imports have come largely from the Middle East. Iran was the chief source until troubles over the industry's nationalization there cut off the supply. Now, however, the Indian government is preparing not only to process imported petroleum but also is seeking domestic wells. Intensive prospecting is going on both in Assam and near-by West Bengal Province. - More and cheaper oil will aid India's ambitious program of industrialization, one of the major features of the nation's first Five Year Plan inaugurated in 1951. The government has already built or is plan- ning new iron and steel works, airplanes and locomotive plants, and factories mak- ing penicillin, telephones, machine tools, radio equipment and fertilizer. It is lend- ing A hand to private industry in various fields and encouraging foreign investments. India had it steel industry long before the Christian era. From convenient, high- grade iron ore, early craftsmen forged crude steel in small furnaces and shipped it to the Mediterranean for the famous Damascus blades. Modern industry in India was slow to develop but once started, quickly gained speed. Large-scale coal and iron production got under way in the 19th century. Early in the 20th, the Tata Iron and Steel Works was established at Jam- nhedpur in Bihar Province. It is one of the largest steel plants in the British fam- ily of nations, of which independent India is now a Dominion. . World War If gave an emergency push try began turning out armaments, tools and machinery, drugs and optical goods. Its first shipbuilding in modern times was initiated at Vizagapntam. i For future industry, India possesses many useful -raw materials. Included, be- sides extensive iron and coal, are man- ganese, mica, bauxite, cobalt, chromite, copper and gypsum. Leaders in the atomic energy field are especially interested in the thorium found in the monazite sands of southwest India. It is believed to offer the world's largest and richest deposit. Ill-Balanced Progress According to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Canada's population now is well past the fifteen million mark. As of June 1, the figure stood at 15,195,000, an in- crease of 410,000 over June 1, 1953. As- suming births and immigration remain around the present level, there should be sixteen million of us some time spring of 1956. It is not so good to learn from the same DBS figures, notes the Globe and Mail, that most of the population increase is going to Provinces which are already well populat- ed. Ontario added 149,000 people during the twelve-month period ending June 1- more than all the other Provinces, save Quebec, put together. Quebec added 119,- 000 pcople-more than all the other Prov- inces save Ontario and British Columbia, put together. In the light of their need for more people-to develop their great nat- ural resources, the Prairie Provinces did disappointingly. They added 73,000 people, with Alberta-at 37,000-getting more than half of that increase. Both numerically smallest increase of the three Prairie Prov- inces. Its gain was only 17,000. Manitoba, with fewer people, gained 19,000. "What the DBS figures show," says our Toronto contemporary, "is that for all the sided country is remaining so, with two- thirds of its people concentrated in Ontario and Quebec, and the remaining one-third scattered thinly from coast to coast. This is no way to build a nation. What they also show is that the internal migration which began with the war is continuing. Prince Edward Island's population drop of 1,000 (from 106,000 to 105,000) shows there has been a sizeable exodus from that Province. Considerable movement also is indicated out of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Central Canada, it may be as- sumed, is getting most of these Mari- timers. But assumptions are about all there is to work fronl. This is not good enough. It seems to us that the Canadian Government should be closely watching and recording, and guiding these shifts of man- power from one part of the country to an- other. Essentially, they are shifts of skill; and the skills are not necessarily going where there is need and scope for them. This is something we cannot afford, either from a civilian or from a military view- point. To the greatest possible extent, men should be employed in their own line of work, not in some other."

It is the "Orwell Point" of Holland, 1765, and is given the following mention in 'Place-Names of Prince Edward Is- land.' Ottawa, I925: "The origin of the name Gallows is obscure. In April, 1831, thc.Leg- islaturc was petitioned for a grant for A road. tfrom Cherry Valley to Gallows Point.' In February, 1833, the Legislature was again asked for aid to complete the road 'frnm Orwell Point to Cherry Val- ley.'. The history of the Island furnished no reason why anyone should have been hanged at this out-of-the-way place. The majority of Island names are personal ones and probably Gallows is a cor- ruption of some such family name as-Galland, Galloa,-Gailet (de la Rnque, 1752) or Gillis. "A John Gillis was one of the Selkirk settlers on the 'Po1ly' and built "I small church near the landing place in Belfast cove. Lot 57, inside the corner of the by- road on the east side of Belfast creek next to the old French burial ground. In 1806 Gillis purchased 200 acres from the Earl of Selkirk at the bottom of the big cove in Orwell Bay. The map name is as follows: Gallows, chart, 1846; Gal- lns. Cundnll, 1851; Gallows, Wright, 1852; Gallas, Lake, 1803; Galina, Lake and Cundall. 1874; Galina, Mcachlun atlas, 1880.

Since the Hon. Alexander Matheson ls six-feet-six and the Island never was too much for size, it's not entirely an optical deceit. He has a plain, open face topped by a shock of hair just moving into the grey and when he talks you catch the same sort of earlhiness that was the stamp of his predeces- sor, the late Senator Walter Joncs. We talk about the Island. about its economy and it's people. "Industry?" he says. "How can weghope to lurefin big industry? We have no rivers for cheap power. Nova Scotio coal is too expensive for cheap power. We're nine miles off the mainland and that raises all sorts of transporta- tion drowbncks.

"That plant's taken care of of lot of worries. Takes care of our surplus milk. Even eases the margarine problem. (You can't buy margarine legally on the Island).
