The maze of sometimes conflicting regula- tions which have long plagued the industry and the lack of regulation which prevented its sound development in some respects may well now be things of the past. On the other hand the freedom of action which operators now enjoy may well be severei.V The Maritime Motor Transport Associa- tion has asked the Governments of the At- lantic Provinces to participate with the Fed- eral Government in achieving uniformity of regulations throughout the Atlantic Prov- inces. The whole question will be discus- sed when the Association meets early next month and by that time the various gov- ernments may have indicated the attitude they will adopt. It will not be easy to arrive at a sat- isfactory solution. There is no easy and natural division of highway usage between purely local and transcontinental traffic. local delivery truck uses the same roads and streets as do the vehicles from another Province. It is only by agreement in detail that it will be possible to work out a satisfactory method of regulating the many kinds of traffic on the highways. The alternative is constitutional amendment vesting all highway authority in Parliament at Ottawa. Berta Anillls Illllo It will be recalled that Lavrentl P. head of the secret police, was executed a few months ago after being convicted on charges of attempting to "seize power and restore bourgeois capitalistic rule" in Rus- sia; at least that was the announcement made at the time by the official Soviet press. Recently, according to the Vatican radio, reports have been circulating to the effect that while he was awaiting execution condemned man asked for a Bible to child. ' While the radio announcer was not in a position to confirm the reports, it is just possible that they are true. Officially. Bibles are among the forbidden books wherever Communism is in control; It could not very well be otherwise, since the sacredness of the individual which the Bible so clearly proclaims is at utter variance with Communism's central doctrine that the individual is a mere cog in the ma- chinery of an all powerful State. Never- theless, the Russian people have a long history of Bible-influenced traditions be- hind them; it is possible, even probable, that Beria was brought up in a home where the fundamental values which the Bible sets forth were accorded some measure of devotion and respect. During his years of power and ruthlessness, as one of the masters of the people, these values would become more and more indistinct. Per- haps, however, as soon as he himself had become a victim of the very system he had helped to build, disillusionment led his mind back to those things which his erst- while crccrl was intended to destroy. , This, of course, is pure speculation; if true. it would not be the first time that an arrogant man found in abasemcnt a meaning and purpose to life which escaped hi; ngtice in the days of his ill-gotten glory. Tile Sallnon Flsllory Famed salmo salar-the Atlantic salmon -is the object today of one of the most intensive restorative programmes ever un- dertaken in the history of the eastern Canadian fisheries, reports a Federal De- partment bulletin. Government authorities are hopeful that sala.r'si numerical decline hss at last been arrested. Meeting In Ottawa last week, the At- lnntic Salmon Co-ordinatlng Committee, a Dominion-provincial group representing the Federal Government and the governments of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotla, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, reviewed scientific work carried out on sat- mon durlng 1953 and discussed plans for the year.

It is hoped that shortly a priority programme can be implemented for the rivers which hold promise of the best immediate results of increased salmon production. An extensive tagging programme in the Maritimes area is slowly revealing to the fishery scientist the movement of Atlantic salmon at sea as well as other important data. Many salmon have returred to the Miramiclii river where they were marked, indicating a strong homing tendency such as prevails in Pacific salmon. However, there is also some evidence that they do not "home". Fish marked in rivers in the Maritime Provinces have also shown up In the catches of Newfoundland fishermen. Startling increases in salmon produc- tion have been noted when predator birds have been kept under control. On one 11- mile stretch of the Pollett River, N. B., smolt production rose from 2.000 a year to 18,000 when predator birds were stop- ped from preying on small salmon. The Co-ordinating Committee contemplated an increased programme to reduce the stocks of predator birds on all salmon rivers. There was a general desire by both federal and provincial authorities to arrive at some basis of agreement on steps to be taken in an effort to .lricrease the stocks of Atlantic salmon in Quebec, the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland. Recom- mendations are now going to the govern- ments suggesting immediate changes in regulations for Atlantic salmon for both the angler and commercial fisherman so that more of the early run fish will get into the streams to spawn. Such a move it was expected would result in higher pro- duction of Atlantic salmon on spawning rivers.

W. MacArthur comes as an un- pleasant shock to Charlottetown citizens. It is fortunate that at least he has been persuaded to make it effective only after the City Council can have an opportunity of dealing with it.. It is to be hoped that the causes which prompted the Chiefs action can be settled without the neces- sity of accepting his resignation.

During 20 years in charge of the department of ori- ental prints and drawings oin the British Museum he made it the most. representa- tive collection in Europe. He also made great efforts to build up a really repre- sentative collection on historical lines, ill accordance with the tradition of the museum. His book, "Painting in the Far East" is widely admired as an introduc- tion to the subject. Although he added much to our knowledge of the great civ- ilizations he is probably most widely known for the familiar lines so widely quoted on Remembrance Day. q 0 o 0 It is to be hoped that Premier Math- eson will have more success than his pre- decessors of both political parties in again pressing our claims at Ottawa in lieu of Crown lands. Volumlnous briefs have been prepared on the subject, and a good sum- mary of the case will be found in rcp- resentatlons made by the present Attorney General, Hon. Mr. Darby, under the Jones Government. This long standing grievance has been aired repeatedly in the Press, In the Legislature and at Dominion-Provincial conferences, but there is no reason why it should be abandoned because previous efforts have proved fruitless. Premier Matheson has indicated that he has no in- tention of doing so, but will join with the governments of the other Maritime Prov- incu In a fresh presentation. It would be unwise to build exaggerated hopes on this hope, and the Premier was careful in his obo bu o coni- Itotement not to give any such impression. ,-mi: GUARDIAN. cnAiu.o'rra'rowN l Honk I PUBLIC FORUM This column to open In -It l by W. r - of qucotlono of interest.

Sir,-In I recent letter to the Forum, entitled "Educational Standards", Dr. Maciiinnon, prin- cipal of Prince of Wales College, touched on that age-old question of the sages. namely, what is the supreme good (suprcmum bonum) of human life? Clearly enougn too, the Doctor's lnferenc: throughout the .lettcr is that the mu-stions as to what is the chief cnd of education, ran never pos- sibly be divorced froln the first question. I remember, too. In this con- nection, how several years ago, I St. Dunstan's professor in a criti- ('lSm of the Dewey school of edu- iratlon that he contributed to the Forum, quoted Jacques Maritan, a noted modern French philosoph- er, as saying, that before we can x answer the question as to what is the right kind of education for men and women. we must f.rst. answer the question, what is man? in my own cusp, Jacques Marl- trln's question could hardly fall to recall to my mind one of the last and most solemn utterances of the great Scottish philosopher. Thomas Carlyle. which was as follows: "The older I grow-and I now stand on the .brlnk of eternity-the moro comes back to me the first sentence of the Catechism which I learned on It child: What. is the chief end of man? MAN'S chief end is to glor- ify God and to enjoy him for- ever." These solemn words - of tho rzrest. Scottish philosopher would (rem all the more impressive when one remembers that Thomas Carlyle was consldel-rd by his fellow-churchmen - at least at one period of his life - to hold religious views that were not strictly orthodox.

Fat Stock - (BBC London Letter) "Its the undivided and individual attention they get. that makes the super beast," said J. Fowlie. an expert. breeder and judge of fat cattle, talking to BBC reporter Robert Dunnett, in the Pacific Service programme. "This In Britain". some of the best. beef in the United Kingdom is raised in the North East. of Scotland and in his broadcast Mr. Fowlle reveal- ed some of his secret methods for bringing stock on for shows. When the days began to shorten was the time for the cattle to be housed all night "to keep the bloom and flesh on them" and then the prec- ious creatures were fed with every- thing of the best. Turnip: were their main feed, together with straw. hay, bruised oats and a. lit- tle cake If the farmers could of- ford it. "But. you can't talk about affording things if you want to get to the top;" said Mr. Fowlte gen- erously, "You've got. to try and get what. makes I right good one." The loving care given by the stockman to the cattle destined for the really big shows was something that needed to be seen to be be- llcved. His day was exceedingly long for he fed his beasts at olx o'clock In the momtng, between nine and ten at night and two or three times in between. His treasured hand-fed charges were kept. In what. the North-Eastern Scots boiled in "box". a compartment where the animals were allowed to ,move about. freely. In Mr. l"owlle'o opin- Ion no two cattle or sheep or my other kind of animal were exact.- ly alike, all required different a- mounts of food and had to be studied to gauge what. appetite they had and what they were fit to assimilate and "take the good of". Scotland was famous for its beef cattle Just. because of this in- dlvlduol attention that each beast. received, for the cattlemen were not governed by the wages board or the number of hours they work- ed. They attended to their beasts" every wont, studied their different moods ond took I personal interest. in them and It. was their life's work to try to produce the right one. And there was no doubt. st. oil that. the beef produced in the North-East. of Scotland could not be surpassed In any other coun- try. I iods of his life, It is clear enough that In the closing years, one of his firm religious convictions was, that the two great questions. What. is the chief and of edu- cation. and, What is the chief and of man,-these two, can never posslbly be put nssunder.
