Rector of the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer in ad- dressing the members of the R0- tary Club and a large number of guests at their regular weekly luncheon yesterday at the Char- lottetown Hotel. "The rivalry between nations and individuals in the present day requires as an essential to im- provement. the practice of tolera- tion," Father Murphy continued. "The mls-interpretation of church codu often results in misunder- standings between Christian bod- ies which could be avoided by tol- bration. No one need surrender his belief, or even whittle it down, to conform to the family next door-both can live in peace and harmony and rejoice in each oth- ers prosperity, by applying toler- ance and Christian love." he said. "We must. get along together on a basis of toleration, goodwill and sincere Chrl.st.is.n charity re- gardless of our church affiliations if we are to have peace in the community, peace in our nation and peace in the would," conclud- ed the speaker.

Bevan said the cnmlng' four-power foreign ministers is doomed to failure if the United States and Britain in- slst on West Germany's admission to the European Defence Com- munity as a pre-condition to talks on Germany.

Canada. has no immediate plan to withdraw its army brigade and three destroyers from the Korean theatre, but these sources said it is only a question of time until they are brought home. providing the truce can be maintained. They predicted that withdrawal of two U.

As the armistice in Korea enn- tinues, this pressure will get strong- er. And Canada has never intended to leave its forces thcre inclcfir.- itely.
