A few years back 1 it was flying saucers. They were so during and so plentiful that any person who did not claim to have 'i seen at least one was regarded as an L ' oddity. In fact. many persons who i never saw anything stranger than a bird on the wing or a rainbow vowed that they had seen the weird oh- i jocts just to be in the fashion and . , be regarded as persons of discem- i ment. ' From now on. whales and all that move in the waters, floating 1 debris. fishermen's dories slightly off course and even white caps on a windy day will be reported as strange submarines. The Navy will have its hands full to sift fact from imagination. But it will have to be done. for if only one story is true, it is right that it should be confirm- ed and entered in the records. Canada's Export Trade On their journeys out West both Prime Minister St. Laurent and . Progressive Conservative leader I . Dicfcnbakcr have been having a lot to say about the United States' policy of "giving away" wheat to countries which normally are c on sid cred Canadian customers. Both deplore .- the practice, but that is as far as their agreement goes. Mr. St. Laurent appears to hope that the situation is only temporary; and he says that, in any case. Cana- dians would never take kindly to e similar program. Now. of course. selling for cash-cash in Canadian dollars. that is-is the ideal way, to do business. If it can be kept up and if Canadian surpluses can be disposed of on such favourable terms, well and good. But can these conditions be sustained indefinitely? Is it reasonable to assume that European countries are going to pay out scarce dollars for Canadian wheat. even if it be of a better quality than that offered by the United States. if they can get the American product for their own currencies. on long term credits or even as outright gifts? Mr. St. Laurent appears to think they will. He may be right. But simple econo- mic facts would seem to be against it. Is it not more realistic to suppose that the American practice will be- ' . come more and more irritating and . damaging to Canada's export trade ' as time goes on? This question is especially pertinent in view of re- ports that the Eisenhower admin- istration is planning to ask Congress to include all food surpluses, and not only wheat and cotton. in the mas- sive export program which is a blend of normal marketing. barter and straight "aivHvnvI"- Perhaps there lift 1 thin! In the world the happens to be in control after the election-will have to accept these facts and make the best of them. Canada's export trade will have to be improved. if it can be improved at all, not on the fanciful basis of what might be if the United States' "attacks on Canadian m e r k et 5'' were terminated, but on sumption that the as- these attacks will continue and probably become more intense.

It is also a repudiation of the virtual "6 principles" adopted by the U. N. Security Coun- cil last October and approved by the Egyptian Government. It is all very well for Mr. Mac- Millan to say that the new policy of his Government does not represent an "agreement" with Egypt but only a temporary arrangement, pending further negotiations United Nations. tongue-in-the-check cl i p I 0 through the This is really macy.

The only thing that can be said for the British change of policy is that no other was possible circumstances. in the It is a simple case of economic pressures taking pre- cedence over all other considera- tions. the same procedure in due France will have to follow COUTSE. There is no alternative, as things are now. Nevertheless, France's chagrin at the surrender of the Canal Users' Association, and Britain in par- ticular. to Egypt's unilateral declara- tion regarding the future of the Suez is perfectly understandable.

A Canadian Press survey of provincial record: shows a rise in fatalities this year of approx- imately five per cent over last year. So far more than 680 per- sona have been killed. iFigures for April were not available in some Pkovlnccst. For the morn than 4.000.000 motor vehicles registered in Can- ada in 1956. the cost in lives was 3.184 and 73,594 persons were in- jured. In 1955. 2.650 were killed- For seven prnvinccs both last year's registration and fatality figures set records. Ontario. Quebec. Alberta. Manl- toba, Saskatchewan. British Co- lumbia and New Brunswick all re- ported recnrds in both registra- tion and accident fatalities in 1056. and all report that this years: figures are expected to be still higher. 40 PER CENT IN ONTARIO More than 40 per cent of Cana- dian vchiclcs are registered in On- tario. The province had more than 1.710.000 registered vehicles in 1956 while L180 persons were killed on Ontario roads. .. In most areas. the unpreced- ented rise in the number of motor vehicles has so far outstripped road building that traffic engin- ccnl of illc roads "intoler- able." Most provincial authorities in Canada now belong to the Na- tional Safety Council with head- quarters in Chicago. This group works In close as-sun-iation with the National Committee on Uni- inrmity of Traffic Laws and Or- dinances and the American Asso- ciation of Vehicle Administrators. These groups have sought to standardize planning for roads. for hizhway signs. for legislation under the uniform vehicles code. and for education. PASS NEW LAW In March this year British Columbia passcd a new Highway Traffic Art which adapts the uni- form vehicle code recommended by the National Committee on Uniformity of Traffic Laws and Ordinances in Washington. Though it is too soon to tell what effect the legislation will have in B.C.. the fatalities in the end of April are up only one. 64 to 63. over the corresponding period last year. Last year's total of 309 death: was I record. Ontario, um, has revised its laws to come more in line with the general pattern. Fines were increased. and minimum levels of insurance sci. Nevertheless, fatal- ities in the province to the end of April are up almost 17 per cent over the first third of last year. In the Maritime provinces. as can describe more than 40 per i where car registration is lower The Mayflower Sails Again Dr. Robert Harvey In the Winnipeg Free Press some twenty-five years after the T death of Sir Francis Drake, a small T ship left Plymouth, the home port of the famous admiral. and head- ed into the stormy Atlantic bound for the distant shores of North America. Few who waved farewell to the departing "Mayflower" on September 6. 1620. dreamed of the almost incredible results to both the Old World and the New that would follow from the daring ven- ture of the 102 pilgrims who crowd- ed the tiny ship. ..They faced terrific storms and great hardships as they slowly ploughed their way across the deep towards the new colony of Virginia When they neared Amer- ica. stress of weather prevented them from making lheir way fur- ther south. and 65 days after leaving Plymouth they landed on the west shore of Cape Cod. Six years earlier John Smlthcr. the explorer. hed given to the harbor where they landed the name of the port from which they had sall- cd.

They finally sought escape to Holland but the captain of a ship that had been hired betrayed the whole company to the authorities. and they were crowded into the cells of Boston prison. .
