JULY 10, 1951 Thrice-Welcome Visitors Our people have many pleasant i'ecol- lections of the fine young men from New Zcaland who trained as airmen here dur- ing World War Two. The official repro- scntativc of their country in Canada, High Commissioner T. C. A. Hislop, C.M.G., is now visiting us with his wife and daugh- ter. and has taken the first opportunity to speak appreciatively of the hospitality ex- tended to the New Zealand boys at that time. This personal tie between our far- sundered Dominions is something to be rc- membcred throughout the years. There are also possibilities of closer tt'ade re- lations between the two countries which could be developed to mutual advantage. Since his arrival in Canada nine months ago Mr. llisiop has 'already visited the Prairie Provinces, British Columbia, and parts of New Brunswick. He is now com- pleting his Eastern tour-saving the best for the last-and will thus be in a position to advise his Government authoritatively about every section of this country. His visit with his family is indeed a welcome one, and it is to be hoped will be followed by other visits of a more extended nature, as vacation opportunities permit. Behind The Truce Talks Military leaders of the Western demo- cracies and Red China meet today in Korea ostensibly to discuss a truce. Ordin- ary folk the world over, sickened by the ravages and destruction of war, are hop- ing fervently that if a "cease-fire" is agreed upon, it may mark the beginning of an era of peace. Before any such conclusion may be drawn, however, it is useful to remind onc- self that it is the Communists. and not the Western democracies, which have sought the truce conference. It is neces- sary also to recall that the proposals for a ”ccase-firc" emanated from Moscow, the vapital of the Soviet Union, citadel of Rus- sian imperialist ambitions. Against this background, the only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that the men in the Kl'Cfllilll see an advantage to be gained in truce negotiations at this time. Seen through the eyes of Soviet leaders, the purpose behind any" ”peace" talks can hr: none other than to further the interests of Russia in her policy of imperialis aggression and world conquest. What, then. is that purpose? if the premises are valid, it can be none other than to relieve the Sovicl Union of the burden of supply- in: arnis and equipment. to the Chinese Reds. in order to allow her to pursue other and more pressing objcctivcs else- where. wiiich will require all the resources shn t.-mi niustcr, ln oihcr words. Ru-;sia is taking: ihc most logical course open to her in the iiczlit of her manifest intention to destroy the Western democracies and dominate the uorlrl. This is a grim conclusion. But it is suppoi-icri by the experience of history. Rtissin's appetite for conquest, like that of Nazi Germany more than a decade ago, has bccn whcttcd by her relatively blood- loss victories in eastern Europe and tho Balkaiis. Sovict diplomacy consists of thc same blustcl'iit:. threatening outbtii'sts of oratory which cliztrnctciized German dip- iomacy in the thirties. Despite the re- 3I.l'lllzllllClll proqrain of the Western demo- cracies, Russia's prcnonc'.crancc in striking power on land and in the air is still sub- stantial. Morcovcr, the Kremlin knows that ilic objectives of Soviet imperialism cannot be achieved without a fight. Korea has proven that much. Russian propaganda for domestic con- sumption has been at fever pitch for months past, and Russian "peace" move- ments, aimed at organizing an effective "fifth column" in potential enemy coun- tries: have been pushed forward relentless- ly. Failure to act in conformity with such conduct now would discredit the Comin- form abroad and the. Soviet regime at home. Zero hour must come during the next twelve months. It may come and pass without a shot being fired. In that case, the ascendancy of the Western demo- cracies will be assured and the slow de- cline of Russian imperialism is certain. Or it may come suddenly and with dread- ful carnage which Canada will not escape. The initiative lies with Moscow. The Korean truce negotiations do not mean peace. They may mean war, all-out, total war such as the world has never seen, and, it is fervently hoped, never will see. Meanwhile, the only safe course is to intensify still further our efforts to be prepared to resist aggression by force.

Mclsaac in yesterday's Guardians "Finally back in England he spent a day at the Festival of-Britain. One of the exhibits which intrigued him was a dis- play showing the impact of the English language on the far places of the world. One part of the exhibit had a showing of all English-speaking countries. The three papers from Canada were The Guardian. The Ottawa Journal and The Edmonton Journal." 0 O O 0 it is reported" that privately-owned ra- dio stations across Canada are incensed at CBC use of its Dominion network for 3 series of programs designed to "sell" the Massey Report to the Canadian public. Reason for their ire is the fact the Domin- ion network is composcd almost entirely of privately-owned stations. The single ex- ception is the CBC's CJBC in Toronto. Since the Massey Report sounds the event- ual death knell for privately-owned stations in Canada, their owners are trying to fig- urc out why they should be required to use their own broadcasting facilities to cut their own throats. Protests through the Cann- dian Association of Broadcasters, spokes- man for private radio, are in the making. One thought is to ask the CBC to set aside Dominion network time for rebuttal talks.

The city fathers listened as he told them that lie was president of the local bird protection society. Outside a crowd of children gathered and sent in a petition organized by John in support of his plea. That did it. The open field will remain a haven for animals. i THE GUARDIAN.

I To Test Jet Blades I ihrltlsh Aircraft Soaety) A jet aircraft is now flying with special blades in the engine tur-1 bine which transmit radio signals! to the ground below. These signals give a "running commentary or. the strains and stresses set up on the blades. British engine experts believe that their research on this jet wl'l help them to make important im- provementa in the design of the blades - which are the moat crit- ical part of the jet. engine. Designed like a circular fan, their job is to conaert the gases flowing into the turbine into a Jet thrust of up to 10,000 horse- power. Each blade has to be ac- curately machined and pollahedi In action. the blades are spinning round at up to 14,000 revolutions rii minute in working temperature: of ' up to 700 degrees oentigrnde. ' The first of the special air iaats has been made by Rolls-noyce,: who have built electric gauges in-i side a number of blades and con- tor. As the engine spins round in. flight, strains on the gauge in the blade an transformed into radio, signals.

Now at the instance of Russia, this objective has been dropped and the Communists are prepared to discuss a cease-fire based on present positions. For those who experience he- wilderment at this quick about- face. an explanation is readily- avallable. It is not any recently- dlscovered explanation. It is as old as the history of Russian tyranny and territorial ambitions, whether under the Czars or under the Communists. And although it is'now receiving great currency. it was perhaps best expressed nearly ioo years ago by a British er stores them on a tape. The test pilot can also record his comments on the tapes at the same instant the strain is being recorded. prime minister. It was Lord Palmerston who. in 1853, said this: "The Dolley and practice of the Rumian government has always been to puih forward with its encroachments ss' fast and as far as the apathy or want of firmness of other governmeiits would allow it to go; but always to stop and retire when it met with de- cided rcststance. and then wait for the next favorable opportunity to make another spring for the intended vic- tim." . Those words could have been written yesterday. That Russia will retreat in the face of firm resistance has been shown in Greece, in Berlin and now in Korea. Now. as in 1863, a deter- mination Ito resist. provides the best. giiaraiitec against the achieve- ment by her of world domination.

Joseph's University of New Brunswick has won the award for the world's best folk- aorig singing at the International Eisteddfod. This is news as pleas- ant as it is surprising. And we use the word "surprising" intention- ally for most Canadians do some- how suffer from an inferiority complex in respect to their artistic achievements and that we should pull down a top award at the Welsh Eisteddfod in folk-singing will come to some of us as something of a shock. Canadians travel abroad and come home with great stories of the charm of foreign lands. of the wonder of their homespun, the beauty of their handiwork, the quality of their singing, the skill in their carving. But these same Canadians overlook that right here in Canada we have wood-carvers and rug weavers and other native artists at least as good as they have spied abroad. How often do we rave about the Wcisli singers or the Ukrainians in their folk dances and then add that in Can- made, provided always that they do not compromise the basic U.
