Good News Reports of British industrial expansion in Canada and of increasing investment In Canadian industry may be considered good news for both countries. They mean that British industrialists have faith in this country's future and that Britains own economic status, troubled and hindered for several years by acute dollar shortage, is well on the road to recovery. . In recent years the flow of new outside capital into the Canadian economy has been mainly from American sources. This was a normal post-war development and it has not been without advantage to Canadian economic strength. as. is evidenced. hy the present unusually satisfactory position of the Canadian dollar. It must be remember- ed, however, that it was British capital and vision which made this country industry- conscious in the first place. The founda- tion of its economic structure. especially in an industrial sense, was laid well and sound- iv by the traditional British genius for ex- ploration and adventure. All political con- siderations aside. it is only fair that the present generation of British industrialists should share in Canada's development which their adventuring predecessors of a century ago helped to make possible. it. it. Farm Aid In at year-end report of the activities of United Nations specialized organizations- it is revealed that S2-1.000.000 W85 addfd I-0 the value of Europels corn crop in 1902 as the result of an initial expenditure of 540.- 000 by a United Nations agency. The F000 and Agriculture Organization was the ag- ency involved in improving the corn crop- Hybrid maize seed developed by it brought about a 60-fold increase in the value of the European crop. The report said the program. Which he" gun in 1947, had its origin in a meeting cal- led in Europe to enable corn farmers to catch up rapidly with technical progress made outside the battle zone during the second world War. United Nations ex- perts worked with a regional association formed to introduce and test hybrid maize. and to select the most adaptable Another report concerned India. where in fleet of 270 tractors had cleared about 730,000 acres of former wasteland for culti- vation by the end of the plowing season; The work. begun in 1950 through a loan 0- 57,500,000 from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Develoilmeltt. IS expects ed to reclaim 1.300.000 acres in Seven years. . Estimates are that on completion of the project, Indian farmers will be able to pro- duce about 500,000 additional tons of wheat annually. After calculations for seed re- quirements and farm waste. the statisticians have reckoned that this volume of wheat. at current world prices. would cost India 536,000,000 a year to import. The tractors are at work destroying a crop-strangling weed known as kans grass. which has infested Indian fields for cen- turies. Deep plows lowed by the tractors cut the roots of the grass and expose it to the sun to die. Over the years allotted for the reclamation work. it is believed that 1.300.000 tons of wheat will be made avail- able to Indian consumers from the new acrezigc. TTT':” conditions In Skye News from Skye will always be of in- lercst to Prince Edward Islanders; and the latest news is that. a detailed economic sur- vey of the island's resources is under wav by the Skye Council of Social Services, in the hope of rehabilitating A population which has been on the decline for over :- century. In 1831 the population was about 24.000. 100 years later, it was under 10,- 000. Two years ago it was only 8265. Of the seven parishes into which the island has been divided since 1726. Duirinish and Kilmulr on the north-west and Sleat in the south show greatest proportional decline between 1981 and 1951. According to the preliminary report. of the census for the latter year. the respective percentage of losses for these parishes are 26, 25.7 and 21. But cause for concern does not end there. Not only has there been a serious drop lo-numbers; there has been an equally uriouc change in the age-structure of the population, and the Council have repeated- ly the grave implications of the decrease in people of working age. The population of the icicndof uwui in 1831 was 14, , but 100 years later it was 25,000. These figures are significant, and represent a complete reversal of thci trends operating in Skye during the same period. While the remarkable increase is' not solely attributable to a flourishing fish-i ing industry. there is little doubt that thisl economic fact has an important bearing oni the position. ' According to an article in the Weekly Scotsman. the' Skye fishing is doomed, and, the Council.of Social Services consider that, extensive afforestation offers the main substitute, for it was a subsidiary source; of employment. In addition, they are de- sirous of developing the tourist trade to thei limits of its capacity. At the same time, it; is being increasingly realized that much could be done to improve crofting agricul- ture itself, and restore to the soil some of the fertility which purely extractive farm-, ing has destroyed. and for which the island liath nam bo" drove his herds to the cat.- tle trysts at Crieff and Falkirk. The new diatomite industry at Loch Cuithir and Uig also offer distinct possibili- ties. Of the three known deposits of this substance in the British Northern Ireland. one in Westmorland. and this one in Skye--the latter is by far the finest and purest. But all these schemes for improvement, whether they have to do with farming or forestry or the tourist trade, will bear lit-' tle fruit unless roads and communications are radically and rapidly improved. If this primary disability is met. and basic services improved, it may be possible to arrest, and: perhaps even reverse, the current trend of migration. EDITORIAL NOW ES Disability pensions will be the subject of a conference to be held in Ottawa this month. An attempt will be made to insti- tute a uniform disability pension system in all the Provinces. , Fishermen as well as fish will be in schools in Newfoundland for a while. Two schools have been opened at Grand Bank and Fortune to teach navigation and engine care and maintenance under it similar scheme to that established by the Govern- ment of Nova Scotia. Later the schools .will move to other fishing ports. 0 The Commonwealth Finance Ministers, Conference at Sydney. Australia is sched-L uled to start Friday. A preliminary meet-I ing of officials has already got under way. .The objective of the meeting, as of several previous conferences. is to attain convert- ibility of the currencies of the sterling area. Success will greatly facilitate purchases in this country by other members of the Com- monwealth. The citizens of Kensington are to be congratulated upon their fine new Fed- eral Building. the official opening of which takes place today. This is a com- munity asset of great value and import- ance, providing modern Post Office and other facilities, Rlld reflecting credit upon all concerned in its erection. The Fed- eral Government, of course, is primarily responsible, but it is indicative of com- munity progress and initiative as well. 0 O O l Sir Andrei-v Brown Cunningham. Vis- count Cunningham of Hyndhope, British admiral, was born this date 1883. He en- Itered the Royal Navy as a midshipman at ythe age of fifteen, sewing in the cruiser :”Doris" which operated off South Africa ,during the Boer War. He won rapid pro- .motion and distinguished himself in the iGallipoli campaign. In the Second World War he became famous for brilliant ag- gressive strategy in the Mediterranean and the North Sea. As Fourth Sea Lord he was responsible for the transport of the in- vasion forces against Morocco and planned the Anzio landing. .- A U. Klcompany is producing a new concrete power tool which features a tech- nique of employing the near-dry mix so. long advocated by technologists for the pro- duction of high quality concrete Its ap- plication to the laying of concrete types of floors marks it great advance in the in- dustry. The low wateivcement ratio feat- ured by this technique in the construction of concrete floors produces workability xnormally too harsh for traditional methods of hand floating. but the new tool over- comes many of the drawbacks of the "thin mix" method. The mix is made up with -lonly a low water content. and when ap- Iplled its consistency is sufficiently resist- ant to accept immediately the weight of the,operator. After normal tamplng and screening, and without the usual waiting period for the concrete to "go off", the pow- er float is employed for float finishing, an operation which, with the concentrated action of the special disc, produces a firm .weight of the mcchinelcoupled with the WI ...-.'.1 was famous in far-off days when "Aireachi ” I THE 'GUA'RDIAN.
