Mafloflosf Plnchlleck Economy The hope entertained that construction of a new boat for the Wood Islands--Cari- bou service would soon be under way has been rudely shattered. As will be noted from today's news columns, the Canadian Maritime Commission, which has jurisdic- tion under the Federal Government in this matter, has turned down the proposal, and is averse even to permitting an exten- sion of the present service into the winter months, by utilizing Georgetown and Pic- tou as ports of call. The lame excuse is that the Government's policy is one of "retrenchment ill all public spending that is not directly related to National Do- fense.” The last report of the Auditor General shows millions of dollars of public revenue wastefully expended in bureaucratic activi- ties of all kinds, and almost every day new extravagances are being brought to light in the House of Commons. Obviously this excuse of "economy" is a trumped-up one, for the need of a more adequate service at Wood Islands was fully demonstrated last year. It is of importance not only to our Island shippers, but to those who are ex- porting goods to this Province as well. Our P.rovincial Government, our Legislature, our Boards of Trade and Federal rep- resentatives have been urging it unani- mously, and there is no question but that a strong L'ilSC was made out befoI'c the Maritime Commission for a new boat at the earliest possible date. Perhaps the greatest value of the Wood Islands ferries to our people is that they are independent of the Railway and pro- vide for development of truck transporta- tion which the Railway has done every- thing it can to restrict on the Borden-Tor- mentine route, regardless of the fact that it is only the agent of the Dominion Gov- ernment in this matter and that the Gov- ernment is obligated to maintain the ser- vice under our terms of Confederation.. Last year, when the show-down came over the railway strike issue, the Government washed its hands of all responsibility and left us in the lurch. We had to bargain with the strikers for permission to run the Government boats. All that saved us from economic disaster at that time was the service at Wood Islands. Now our people want this service ex- panded, and they are not prepared to accept the ipse dixit of any Government-appoint- ed Commission to the contrary. We have our members in the House of Commons and Senate, and a freshly elected Liberal Government at home pledged to fight for our rights at Ottawa. Let them get into action! Let; them challenge the Govern- ment to show how the expenditure of one million dollars for greatly improved trans- portation to and from this Province can be uneconomical, as claimed, at a time when exorbitant railway freight increases are threatening the very existence of our farming and fishing industries. Trouble In The Middle East The Anglo-Iranian oil dispute has giv- en fresh impetus to the differences which, ever since the end of World War II, have plagued relations between the United King- dom and Egypt. It is, tllerefore, not willi- out significance that King Farouk's mar- riage should have been marked by a dis- play of Egyptian armed strength designed to influence the negotiations which.have been going on for over a year for the re- vision of that strategic middle east coun- try's treaty relations with Britain. Egyptian demands in the negotiations are twofold. First, that British forces be evacuated from Suez. And, secondly, that the, Nile valley be politically unified, bring- ing the Sudan under King Farouk's rule. In 'vlew of the traditional instability of Egyptian foreign policy, and the vital strategic importance not only to Britain ' but to the entire western world of the Suez Canal, it is at once apparent that the demands of King Foroulds Government cannot be met without implications of far wider significance than the immediate con- slderatlons of Anglo-Egyptian diplomatic A relations. A . db - The history of the nglo- - has long and Ht polltlclsm have made it appear thstthslr oovmlsnty was constantly 4,bIIIIGm'IlGi&oE.Bl'itilh troops, i lmperlsllstlc alms prevent- . a ed the political union of "Egypt and the Sudan. 3 In fact, it is not difficult to see that the series of "incidents" which in recent months have marked developments in the Middle East are more closely related than appears at first glance. For the objectives of British policy in the Middle East are not, as the Iranian oil affair and the trend in Anglo-Egyptian relations on the surface suggest, either exploitation of the natural resources of the former, nor yet infringe- ment of the sovereignty of the latter coun- try. Rather, they reflect the determination ' of the British, supported by other free na- tions, to construct and maintain a second line of defence against possible Soviet ag- gression. This line would be outside the. existing defence line, which is based .on Greece, Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan, and Egypt is its cornerstone. Egyptianupolitical leaders understand full well the necessity for such a defence line. Public sentiment, fanned by Com- munist agitation, is such, however, that no Egyptian Government could advocate a compromise on the issue of the Suez Canal or the Sudan and survive. The best hope, for the moment, is that Egypt may be brought within the framework of 8. Med- iterranean Pact, such as favored by Greece and Spain, or that the Atlantic Pact, which already includes Greece in the North At-. lantic Treaty system, may be extended to embrace Egypt. EDI IORIAL NOT ES According to an old farming tradition the 10th of May is the first date on which it is profitable to start sowing. O O I Today the parable of the sewer would have the additions that: some seed was mixed with noxious weeds and the weeds outgrew the good seed; and that some seed had not been tested for viability and largely failed to germinate. I C O The Indian Mutiny broke out this date 1857 at Meerut and within three weeks the whole Ganges basin was in insurrect- ion. The immediate cause was a report that the new cartridges issued to the Sepoys were smeared with the fat of the cow and the pig, defiling both Hindu and Moslem. O O I Inflation is a policy of governments who do not have the courage to tell the people honestly what the cost of their conduct of affairs is, according to the noted econ- omist Professor Ludwig Von Mises speak- ing in Chicago. Another view is that gov- ernments recognize that they could not last if they took the painful steps neces- sary to avert inflation. 0 o '0 The Post Office Department has long received credit for its "businesslike oper- ation" in being, that rare phenomenon, a Government enterprise that pays its way. It should not, however, receive credit for that so far as its profits are owing to un- reasonably low expenditures on rural de- livery. O G I An Ontario swine breeder advocates that Canadian Yorkshires should have bred out their tendency toward :1 turned- up shor&snout on the ground that they will su ocate in feeding themselves. Whether the warning is valid or not, most becon hogs seem to have little opportunity for self-feeding before being on their way to market after a scientifically balanced feeding program. 0 O O Fairville, N. B., magistrate has a new way of dealing with juvenile delinq- uents which might be copied here with advantage, as it kills two birds with one stone, as it were. The juveniles on con- tviction are sentenced to be off the streets and home every evening not later than 6 P.M. and to stay at home till morning until school vacation. This means, of course, that one or other of the parents, probably both, must be at home too, in- stead of gadding about neglecting their offspring. i O O O Sudbury Star is a little astray when it declares that ”lootenant" pronunciation for "lieutenant" is an Americanization--it is positively and undeniably English as well, as Englishmen can vouch. Our contempor- ary writes: "Defence Minister Claxton has written to the Charlottetown Guardian in protegt against reports of 'Americanizu- tlon' of Canadian forces. Mr. Claxton states quite forcefully that it is not the intention of the Canadian Army or gov- ernment to change anything in the Cana- dian forces bearing on their traditions. These include titles of regiments, ranks. rank badges, uniforms and affiliations with British and other Commonwealth forma- tions. We particularly enjoyed the de- fence minister-'s assertion that 'lieutenants' lnlthe Canadian army will continue to be as 'leftenunts'. The American ilotltzenanv that is flung at Canadians from the movie screens and over the United states radio stations becomes somewhat tiresome." GUARDIAN.

May I-(AP)-I Tho Nltlonllllt chlnue Minister today ssld Chinese man had executed 30.003 persons in the Dash Of Witchcraft' About Psychiatry (Petsrbol-ough Examiner) we feel obliged to warn that there can'be no real improvement in mental health servlcs until there are regulations in Ontario which prevent unqualified persons from pretending to practise psy- c iutry. It is plain that there are many Peopleabaasing themselves off as psychiatrists in this province who have little or no claim to that tit- 14:. From time to time court cases are reported in which sharply conflicting evidence has been giv- en by men describing themselves as psychiatrists. Now it is probable that qualified psychiatrists might disagree on a matter of opinion. but unlikely that they would dis- agree on matters of fact relating to their work. We think that psy- chlatrlsts called as expert wig- nesses should in all cases be re- qulred to show that they are fully qualified in that branch of medi- cine. It is by no means easy to become I genuine psychiatrist. Approx- imately four years postgraduate specialization are needed to give the required training. and also to Bdlu-st the personality of the as- piring psychlstrlst to the special requirements of his work. Not all Daychiatrists are psysicians; there are psycho-analysts and very able training, but they are not usually engaged in therapeutic work; cer- tainly anyone dtscrlblng himself as a. psychiatrist, who is not also 3 physician, should be treated with reserve until he has removed all doubt about his qualifications. There is still a dash of witch. craft about psychiatry; supeml- tious people seek its aid and abys- 99" impose upon them. It must sl- meaning but ill-informed persons who think that the aim of pay- of "loudness" upon those who ml under their influence. But in spite of the confusion which still exists concerning it, Psychiatry is an extremely im- Portant section of the healing art, and when practised by reputable and properly qualified men at cm bring about remarknble cures.

Then is generally one around somewhere. He is called "Pile Old Man". Affectlonately. Sometimes he is the old-timer of the shop or office. Sometimes he is the cop on the beat whom all the youngsters Jove. In the armed forces he might be almost any officer who is ready to go all out with and for his men. Now and then you will find him on the train or bus; the chap who knows everybody and has a good word for everybody. in short, he is the fellow who has gone over the long road with his eyes open and his heart warm and has never lost that zest for life which takes the form of encour- agement for the chap who is tem- porarily out of luck, or I put. on the back for the man who is turn- ing in a good piece of work un- nouiced.

They were early settlers in Manitoba, the largest colony coming out to Canada in the saw. antics of the last century. They 11,. cated first in Muskcku, but were not satisfied. They finally decided to move to Manitoba, where they founded a ttlement on Lake Winnipeg at Gimll where they could, as in Iceland, combine :31-1. culture with fishing; Industrlous, thrifty, hard working and lovers of democracy, they have fitted into the Manitoba way of life. They are a studious people and have won many scholarships in the Univer- sity of Manitoba. several Rhodes scholarships have been won by Icelandc-rs.'including one by Judge Joseph Thorson. who was former- ly a member of the King Govern- ment. For years they have always had representatives in the Legit- lature. Perhaps the most out- standing Icelander is Stefnnsson the explorer.
