Not deter- red by this. the founders of the Federation of Agriculture set out to place farming on a par with big business and organized la- bour. The task has not been easy, for Old habits are hard to shake, but today the Federation has the whole-heart-'!d SUPP-Wt 3f 3 very large proportion of our farmers and has been able to advance their interests in a way which would have been Quite lm' possible for even the most progressive and aggressive individuals. .

He is in the line of direct succession to the Crowll after his mother, the Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh. 0 I O Queen's is getting pretty close to open- ing the campaign for the Federal by-elec- tion. Between now and party nomination dates there will be steady canvassing by prospects and their supporters. O O O Merchants are not at all favourable to combining Friday and Saturday business in one. A merchant in Grafton Street had to employ four policemen to regulate the customers at his store. I I . Quiet. law abiding Prince Edward Is- land is surely not going to enter competition with those other provinces which feature wholesale burglaries and hold-ups. Keil- sington break should serve to put us on our guard. O O C The favourable Fall weather has been long and enjoyable, but with November near- ly half over, we must prepare for the in- evitable cold and storms, for which furn- aces, storm windows and warm clothing were invented. Contractors and dry-goods stores are busy as the proverbial hatters. I O I General regret is felt in city, town and country at the hunting accident at Annem- dale resulting in the drowning of P. W. C. student Edward Clark. son of Mr. and Mrs John Clark. Sympathy goes out to the parents and the Hutchesons in their sad and unexpected bereavement. O O I A 14-year-old with 40 winners to his credit already, Lester Piggott is favoured to become Britain's Champion Jockey in the next few years. He has been com- peting with leading Britishadult riders like Gordon Richards, on level terms. I O I That the Communist menace in this country continues should have teen clear from the report of the Royal Commission on Espionage published about four years ago. The Reds had then, and probably still have, not one but several spy organ- izations and are at pains that no member should be able to betray more than a very small portion of his own particular group. O I 0 Milk producers and vendors meeting to- night-are a hard working and generally unappreciated group. It is only when something goes wrong with delivery, or there is a rare price increase, that they are given a thought. Yet there are few who would willingly exchange places with them even for the satisfaction of providing the most wholesome beverage for growing youngsters. O I 0 External Affairs Minister Pearson has under consideration the question of the is- suance of a passport to Joseph Zuken of Winnipeg, a delegate to the so-callcd "Peace Conference" opening in Sheffield, England, yesterday, Nov. 13. This was disclosed by the External Affairs Department by way of comment on a Winnipeg dispatch quoting Mr. Zuken as saying his application for H. passport was being subjected to "long, un- usual delay." The department mei-ely said: "We are aware that Mr. Zuken has sent a wire to the minister and the matter is under consideration by the minister." O O O The U. S. Federal Government has sued at Philadelphia wholesale produce firm for 312,592 in damages for alleged violation of an agreement between the United States and Canada. Named defendant in the suit is I. Kallish and Sons, charged with selling Canada-grown potatoes for human consumption in violation of the agreement between the two countries. The suit was filed at the request of the Department of Agriculture. It charged the firm members breached an Agriculture Department reg- ulation from November, 1948, to June, 1949, prohibiting the sale of Irish, or coni- mon-variety potatoes grown in Canada. Such potatoes can be sold in U. S. A. for seed use only, the suit said. The Kalllsh firm is charged with bringing 30 carlouds from Canada.

The sudden flood of rate increases in the United states, particularly in the magazine and trade paper field. is causing no little concern to national advertisers. In ii survey among all types of media .our best advice at this time is that national advertisers should figure on rate Increases in 1951 ranging from 8 to 15 per cent. The present taxation picture plus the possibilities of shortages due to the war is serious. There is relucfmce among media owners to put fur- ther increases into effect, but ex- -penses continue to mount. with higher wages Ind benent Items for employees. one Di” ' magazine pub- fisher acid that his firm was try- ing to keep advertising rates at the 1959 level and studying other economies which might be effected In the production end.

K. Information Office) Prime Minister Altlee has de- clared the "Peace Congress" to be held in Sheffield. England. this month to be bogus. In a recent address to the For- eign Press Association in London. the Prime Minister referred to the recent United Nations Week demonstrations in Britain. After exposing the Congress Committee as an offshoot of the "World Peace Movement." an in- strument of the Politburo with over 90 per cent of its permanent committce known Communists or fellow-travellers, Mr. Attlee went on: ”What are their aims? They are to try to paralyse the efforts of the democracies to arm them- selves. They seek to persuade the workers of the democracies to re- fuse in manufacture arms. At the same time. they urge the workers of the Totalitanian states to in- crease their efforts in munition production. One of the Peace Movements duties, stated in the Cominform directive of September 22 is Ito encourage the evasion of military service by the youth of the U.S.A., Britain, France and Yugo- slavia'. Even the most woolly minded pacifist. can hardly be de- ceived inlo thinking this is due to conscientious objections to mili- tary service. "We are told that this 'Peace Cong':ew' is democratic. lts-dele- gates are to be 'elected.' It was announced in a Viennese paper that the Austrian delegates would be elected at a meeting on Octo- ber. That sounds all right, but an application was made for visas for 16 named delegates as early as October 5! The results of the 'election' were known 16 days be- fore. Some election! The obvious fact is that the whole thing is bo- gus. It is an appeal by the wolves to get the sheep to demonstrate against the use of shepherds and sheep dogs. 0 O C "You may ask why we allow the Congress to be held in Britain.

There must. however, be a reasonable limit to our tolcration of those who try. by misrepresents. tion, to undermine the liberties of the free countries. We shall not deny admission to people who, in good faith. may wish to attend the conference, but we are not willing to throw wide our doors to those who.seek to come here to subvert our institutions. seduce our fellow citizens from gthelrynatural allegl. ?nCe and their daily duties. and Oumiike propaganda for those who can us cannlbals and warmongera.

We do not believe in giving them the pleasure and prestige of mar- tyrdom. How much liberty should be given by society to those who seek to destroy the freedoms from which they benefit is a matter to be decided by each country in ac- cordance with its circumstances. We allow this freedom. We feel that we are strong enough to take the risk." Speaking of the Stockholm Ap- peal, the Prime Minister saidl ”I do not think the people of this country and of the other demo- cracies will be deceived by these transparent manoeuvres. The his- tory of the last five years show conclusively who are the real dis- turbers and real preservers of peace. Of all such proposals for disarmament. I would say: you cannot humanise war: you can- not draw up a set of 'Queensberry Rules' which will rid it of its hor- hors. "Pile only answer is to root out war itself, the causes which make for war. "So long as fear. suspicion and jealousy persist, agreements to re- duce armaments or abstain from the use of certain methods will achieve nothing. What we must have is the desire for peace and the will to agree. Given those. then questions of place. method and persons through whom agree- ment is to be readied would raise no difficulty. We must never abandon hope of such ultimate agreement and I know that the United Nations are constantly working to achieve it. But we must not let our hopes deceive us so that we neglect the strength on which the only real prospect of agreement depends." I 0 NORTH AMLRICAN lIFf L. S. STEVENSON BRANCH MANAGIR I40 RICHMOND ST.
