"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than _ the Weakest Ink.“ OIIARLOTTETOWN, MONDAY, Auavs-r- so, mes A Somthing to Boast About I ‘It is good for us to be hospitable without any thought of reciprocity. Nevertheless, as an island Province, we are most appreciative when visitors return to the mainland and boast of the good time they had while our guests, making friends and acquaintances desirous of sharing at some other time their joy and satis- faction. » ltt is particularly encouraging and profitable to us as a Province when these guests prove to be newspaper men, able and willing to describe in newspapers the beauties and productive re- sources of the island. ‘The Province has been particularly fortunate this summer in having not a few journalists vacationing on our shores, and quite a respectable number have returned ‘home to publish the good ‘news of what they had seen and learned. In Saturday's issue, in common-with other morning newspapers, we published such an article by Mr. Forbes Rude, the business analyst of that great news-gathering‘ and distributing agency, The Canadian Press. His story thus received o Canadian-wide circulation, and is sure to do us an inestimable amount of good. Mr. Rhude knows whereof he writes, for he is ‘himself island bred, has made good io Canadian journ- alism, rising to his present position through merit. - It will have been seen by those who read Mr. Rhude's account of his recent sojourn among us that, while giving full cred-it to our enter- prise and initiative he did not over state the case. He showed in graphic language what we have accomplished with our limited natural re- sources, and how we, or at least how our lead- ers, are not satisfied with playing second-fiddle -in whatever production engaged, insisting upon super-quality, the highest that can be placed on the market. This policy has paid reasonably well in the past and for our own and our Island's good reputation, must be maintained. There has been a tendency here and there to drop from the high standard, and to endeavour to be satisfied with lower grade produce, which, of course, reacts to our detriment. It will be well, therefore, for our leaders in agriculture and fisheries to keep ever before themselves and ‘the Province at large the necessity of being satisfied with producing nothing less than the best. and having the fruits of our labour graded ac- cordingly. At present we have good leader- ship in this respect, and it is for everyone in- terested to see thort no falling off is permitted. ' Then from yeor to year we will be visited by tourists from hither and ayont to enjoy our salubrious climate, our beautiful scenery, our surf bathing, our golden sandy beaches, our fields and live stock, and, above all our hos- pitality and friendliness, of which we have rea- son to be proud-having inherited it from a llong line of similarly endowed pedigreed an- cestors. Russian Troubles Life can't be all 'oy and sweetness for Comrade Stalin and his colleagues in the Krem- lin. It all goes to show that some people are never satisfied, and in some cases even un- grateful. The "let down" feeling of the elite of Moscow when one of their n-umber suddenly de- cides to forsake the land of Utopia in favour of the so-called outmoded economy of free coun- tries, must bring a sigh, a tear, and a shake of the head. Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov must pon- der upon the delinquency of those who specially nurtured in the faith and insulated from for- "eign ideas while serving their country abroad, still desert. Surely the decadent capitalists must have some secret method of poisoning the subcon- scious minds of these unfortunatesl Have the police been sufficiently diligent in ferretin-g out every act and conversation which migrht indicate a wavering from the party line? The schools charged with the prepara- tion of persons in the diplomatic service, have‘ they been lax in ccaching their students on the unquestioned superiority of Soviet life? Has .the foreign office sufficient control over the consulates? is there insufficient supervision of the associations made by members of the con- sular staffs? Maybe Premier Stalin finds it all a little tiring. What is the use of maintaining effici- ent organizers to establish unrest among the workers of the world if his lieutenants in the foreign service cannot prevent or at least gloss over these embarrassing incidents? - The iron curtain effectively prevents the entry of any unwanted students or investigators, and no one d with tainted principles and recalled ,to ssia is permitted an oppor- tunity to contaminate others. it is all very puzzling. Poor Joe! His heart may be in the right place. Possibly he too would "jump shtip" if circumstances permitted. Anyway things might easily be improved and the threat of mortal combat removed if he were nc-t so set in his ways. - Ali that is needed is a little better under- standing which might be achieved by ex- change vieits of University students, teacher tours, business meetings, and private travel. Let us have the open door so that people of oil countries and classes may visit each permits. will dominate the world of the future. -- EDITORIAL NOTES - holiday instead of four.

Since the last Convention in Winnipeg in i942, three former Party leaders have died, Viscount Ben- nett, Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, and Hon. R. B.

The Association suggested that arrangements for equal citizenship rights could be made in the first place between the Com- monwealth and countries with whom it had close ties, such as the Benelux countries -- Belgium, Netherlands and Luilembourg. This exchange of citizenship plan is regarded as o first step towards promoting tolerance and good neighbor- Iiness between countries. i‘ i i: I lt is always pleasant to record the suc- cess and progress o-f our ris-ing hopes.

News Analyst) When you aet. away from the Palestine question. British offici- ple divide scoording to their own _speciait.ies in discussing various phases of United States foreign policy which irk them. They are so courteous, so anx- ious to ovoid both personal p1- fence and exaggeration ad the importance of any differences. that it is difficult to determine what they really think. But there are n. few thing-s that. make u discernible pattern. aside from the generalities to which the British public is addicted. Economists in the government almost. invariably go back for their pet. peeve to the d-ays when the United States lifted economic controls and, as they put it, de- valued the British loan. They are mild about it, speaking more in sorrow than in anger, but still think it was shortsightedmsnd that. it. had a most adverse effect on Britain's recovery effort. Sometimes. in discussing this apparent lack of United States interest. in British recovery in the earlier post-war days, they go as for back as the sudden ending of lend-lease. They recognize that. it. was strictly n. war-time vehicle that. had to come to an end. but hold that prudence would have provided a direct bridge be- tween it. and something like the Present. program. They think they might. be for ahead of the present recovery program ff that had been done. As for present economic rela- tions, they have practically no criticism. at. least that. they are willing to tell about. But; they are very alert and very determin- ed to see to it that. economic re- lations do not get mixed up with what may consider their purely domestic policies. They don't. want to have to cater to United States opinion regarding such things as the m- fionalizstlon of the steel indus- try. They fhink that. whether publicly or privately owvned, Uni- ted _States' interest. in British steel can go no farther than whether it. makes proper use of materials supplied under the Marshall plan. They are nd inclined to enter- tain the American idea that, if their steel industry continues de- veloping and producing as it. has in reaching records since the war. ‘.2. should not be made the object of governmental experiment dur- ing a critical period. They cast aside the ides. that the 07.50.000.000 they say steel needs for expansion must. come from sn economy which would not be capable of supplying it without United States assistance and that, therefore. it. is an Am. ericrm concern. They say the money for the capitol investment- needed is already here. and not being invested because the steel industry never has entirely shed its old ideas of an economy of scsrcify. This is the some thing of which the American steel in- dustry tros been accused. SAY! U. K. GOODS PRICED TOO HIGH WINNIPDG.
