PAGE 4 SATURDAY, AUGUUST 2, 1958 NearfMiddle And Far East The terms “Near East,” “Middle East,” and “Far East” are used to di- vide the vast Orient ‘into handy sec- tions. In popular usage, however, their boundaries jump thousands of miles in almost every direction. Greece and the Sudan creep in and out of the Near East. India flies back and forth between the Middle and Far Easts. At times, the Middle East has expanded to include countries asvfar west as Libya. Yet if Libya is' in the Middle East, codntries like Algeria, France, and Italy’must be in the Near East. ' Attempting to maintain logical geographical divisions, the .National Geographic Society divides the three Easts as follows: ' ' , Near East: Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, and the countries of the Arabian Peninsula. . Middle East: India, Pakistan, Af- ghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Ceylon. , ‘ ‘ Far East: China, Mongolian Repub- ippines, Indochina, Thailand (Siam), ‘ Burma, Malaya, and Indonesia. ~ The Society’s list of Near East countries corresponds closely-to the US. State Department’s grouping as represented by its Office of Near Eastern Affairs and Office of Greek, Turkish, and Iranian Affairs. Greece and the Sudan, within the scope of these two offices, are not part of the Society’s Near East grouping. . In British usage, the Balkan States of southeastern Europe often have been tabbed as part of the Near East, but American practice is to align them geographically with the West. By common consent, authorities on the Orient keep south of Russia in de- fining Middle East and Near East. With this and the US. department’s official Far East in mind, National Geographic cartographers have de- fined their geographically rationed , Middle East. , , ' \, Prior to World War II, “Middle East” quite commonly described the region of the Indian suchntinent, al- though the designation was‘ often made to reach westward to embrace Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. N ew- est of the three Easts, Middle EaSt started as a generalization to describe the reaches of southern Asia between Near East and FarEast. ‘. The term Far East dates almost from Columbus’s time. At first, it ,described the' coasts and islands east of Singapore visited by venturesome , navigators who reached the Pacific by rounding Africa’s southern tip and crossing the Indian Ocean. These coasts and islands were “far east” from a Europe that considered itself the center of the world. To west-coast dwellers on the North American con- tinent they are near west as well as Far East. ‘ Some writers have restricted the Far East to'China, Korea, and Japan. Others expand the term to include virtually all Asia east of Afghanis- tan. More Research Needed A fruitful sfibject for discussion at Ottawa—if our parliamentarians ever get around to it—would be farm‘ economics research. Accor ing to the Policy Committee of the Can- adian Federation of Agriculture, economic and social research and in- vestigation into the problems of agri- culture in rural communities is ser- iously. inadequate and should be greatly expanded. This is not primar- ily apolitical problem, but certainly one in which our politicians shOuld be interested. The C.F.A. policy calls for establishment of a non-govern— mental Agricultural Research Foun- dation through which funds for re- search, primarily in economics and sociology, could be administered. As ,‘The Country Guide’, sees it, our agricultural economists and sta- tisticians are, unfortunately, so few' in number and so loaded down with teaching, extension and service func- tions that . research is being sadly neglected. The two placés where one might expect to find worthwhile in- dependent farm economics research being carried out is inthe depart- ments of agricultural economics at our universities and in the Economics n.- a»: \ Division, Canada Department 01 Ag riculture. The former are so badly un- derstaffed that the teaching and ex- tension functions take by far the bulk of the time. The latter has become, to a very large extent, a servicing body for the Federal Department. This in itself is not a bad thing, but no pro- vision has been made within the De- partment to take up the gap left by the transfer of research personnel to new duties. The net result is that Canada is woefully weak in farm economics research. “We spend tens of millions of dollars annually on technological re- search to promote efficient farm pro- duction,” says the Guide, “but are prepared to allocate only a few- tens of thousands of dollars for research to investigate the economic conse- quences of the individual farm fam- ily, orwto improve the efficiency of our farm marketing systems. In fact, the lack of challenging openings in the field of farm economics research has become so marked that it became necessary at the largest college of agriculture in Canada to switch the .\ ' emphasis in its agrlcultural econom- ics course to business administration. These are, indeed, sorry commentar- ies when we consider the plight of large sections of our farm popula- tion.” . Our farm people should get behind their central organization in seeking to remedy this situation. |raqun Double Talk We wish that President Eisen- hower or Prime Minister Macmillan— or some one in their confidence— would take time off from wrestling with Nikita Khrushchev and explain why they are preparing—.with almost indecent haste, it would seem—to grant diplomatic recognition to the new regime in Iraq. When the cut- throats seized control of the country and murdered King Faisal and other GOVernment leaders, Western Gov- ernments Were very angry indeed. There was even talk of their» sending I in troops to redress the wrongs done. to Iraq and to restore a pro—Western Government. Now, only a couple of weeks later, recognition is said to be under‘serious consideration, presum- ably because the new rulers haye let it be known that they want to be friends with everybody. “The most sensible statement by a Government official we have seen so far came from Canada’s External Af- fairs Minister Sidney Smith. Dr. Smith told the Commons that as far I, as he was concernedha gwas‘..still, inmi. clined to “scepticism” in reSpect to. the good intentions declared by the new Iraqui Government. He added that “it would be highly desirable for the new Government in order to con- solidate, that it would ‘appear’ pro- Western?’ Certainlyit would. Why did the rebels take the risks involved in revolution if they did not intend to break Iraq’s, friendship with the ._ West ?"In fact, they announced that to be their main goal the very day the revolution took place. And why would- President Nasser of Egypt give the new regime his blessing—such as it is—if he did not have guarantees that henceforth Iraq would toe the anti- Western line? EDITORIAL NOTES , The US. Securities and Exchange Commission has barred brokers from handling shares of Canadian Javelin, Ltd. which holds deposits of iron ore on the Labrador. The Commission said it acted because “large blocks of stock” were being sold in all parts of the United States without registra- ' tidn of the securities. 4 at e An American woman, charged with failing to provide proper food for her 49 house-dogs, showed two plump pets in support of her not; guilty plea.

A report from White Bay on N ew- foundland’s Northeast coast says that the water is “teeming with turbot,” for which there is an excellent mar- ket, but that there is no bait available to fishermen. This shortage of bait at certain times of the year is a problem all over the Atlantic region. There are not nearly enough depots with re- frigeration facilities where bait can be stored when it is plentiful. u. K. OPINION On Soviet LONDON — An assist from Mr. Khrushchev got Prime Minister Macmillan out of a tight corner and spiked the guns of the op- position in the House of Commons debates on the Middle East cri- sis. When'Britlsh forces went in- to Jordan, the Labor opposition and the Liberals were all set for a sustained attack on the govern- ment. They envisaged another Suez - type debacle for the Con- servatives. Statements made by their Leaders indicated an all - out blast against Mr. Macmillan. Then like a bolt from the blue came Mr. Khrushchev’s demand for an immediate summit meet- ing to discuss the Middle East crisis. The opposition seized on it as another weapon to flay the Govermneut. But it gave Mr. Macmillan his great opportunity to completely- wreck the Labor Hls masterly speech in the 'House of Commons, in which he ', accepted Mr. Khrushchev’s pro- Macmillan Scores By M.

Mr. Bevan and Mr. Gaitskell, could do nothing but express ap~ proval of Mr. Macmillan’s letter to Khrushchev. And that was ex- actly what they did after he had finished speaking.

Island Histori- cal Society wish to remind our citizens and visitors that Sunday the 132th. instant, is the two hun- dredth anniversary of the British taking «possession of the Island. Since August, 1720, the French capital of the Isl-andhad been at Post laVJoie, just inside the bar- bour and close to the site of the later Fort Amherst, on the farm now owned by J. 0. Hynd- _man, and which the Society is unglng that it be taken over and developed as a National Historic Park. Immediately after the capitula- tion of Lou-isboung, General Am- herst issued orders on the 8th. August, 1758, from the camp be- fore that Fortress to Lord Rollo, which were in part as follows: “You are to take on you the command of three hundred men, and two hundred light infantry and Rangers, in the whole five hundred men ordered to parade this day at twelve o’clock at the head of the artillery, and you will march to the Bamsy, where there will be boats to embark you in the following disposition. On board the King of Prussia I40, Dunbar 140, Bristol 130 and Catherine 90. Total 500 men. “The ships will be victualled for three months for the number of five hundred men, and Admiral 'Borscowen will order a proper convoy; to piboceed to the Island of St. John. Lieutenant Spry, Eu- gineer, will embark with your detachment, and will have tools that three hundred men may work, and a thousand palisades, to build a redoubt round the barracks if practicable or in such a manner and on such ground as you may judge best, that one hundred or about that number, which I propose leaving at Fort Ia J-oie, on the Island of St. Johns, may be sufificiently cover- ed and secured to defend them- selves against any attack the enemy can possibly make again- st them. . . .The garrison and inhabitants are to surrender. The garrison at Fort 1c Jo'ie, consist- ing of one company 0 Marines, are to be disarmed, and you will embark them as soon as you think prosper. . . .” In 1720 Count Saint Pierre had mounted eight cannon on a breastwork, but Governor de Vil- lejoin shortly before the surren- der in appealing in vain to the French Goverment for assist- ance stated that his artillery con- sisted of three pieces, which were not even mounted in batteries and which would only serve for signalling purposes. Lord Rollo with his men arriv- ed in the harbour of Port la Joie ANNIVERSARY on the 17th August and th e .Fnench Commandant Villejoin as instructed from Louisbourg im- mediately surrendered, as agreed upon in terms of capitulatlon of Lousibourg. Lord Rollo writing Admiral Bosoowen on 10th, September, 1758, stated that with the assist- ance of Captain Spry, he had put the fortification in such order that, with one hundred and fifty men, then, it could not ‘be taken without cannon and mortars, but that it must receive attention in the spring. Also that there was so much to do to get up the fort, as there was not the smallest trace of fortification here, he could not spare any- of his five hundred men to chastise about 150 Indians in the northernmost part of the Island and young men in the woods who were plunder- ing their neighbours. and sending cattle to the continent. According to Stewart’s History written ln 1806, Fort Amherst, was a large square redoubt with a broad ditch, and mounted eigh- teen pieces of cannon and con- tained barracks, and that shortly after its erection it was twice at- tacked by the French and their Indian Allies, but that both at- tempts tailed. After one of these attacks Dr. Harvey states th at a Sergeant ar/i eighteen men were ambushed and killed. Shortly alter the appointment of Walter Patterson as Governor for Labor, ‘ enseas. In May, 111,800 overseas viitors entered the country an increase of seven per cent over the total for May, 1957. In that one month, there were 34,400 Uni- ted S‘tates visitors, an increase of 26 per cent over last year. The US: increase was partly qfifiset by a decline in Visitors from France, owing to the political crisis there at that time. HISTORIC 'ro CANADIANS I One of the prinin'spal places of interest to Canadians visiting England is Quebec House at West orham in Kent where General James Wolfe, the hero of the Plains of Abraham spent much of his childhood. General Wolfe, who was killed V during the historic ,battle was ,octually born at Westonham Vi- carage, where his mother was staying during the absence of her husband with his regiment. A year later, a second son was born at Quebec House, then known as Spiers and the ’family lived there until 1738, when James Wolfe was 11 years old. In 1913 the house was bought by the late J. B. Learmont of Montreal, who .restome- it as nearly as possible to its condition at the time of the Wolfes’ ten- ancy. Mr. Learmont’s widow pre- sented it to the National Trust, and today the exhibition rooms are openlo the public on Tues- days, Thursdays, and Saturdays. They house .an interesting collec- tion of relics books and plain/(- inigs associated with General Wol- fe ‘ ’ HELICOPTER STATION London is going to haves heli- copter landing station on the Bank of the Thames at Battersea.

Thus when the two American Private- ers’ ships entered the harbour-on 17th November, 1775, and looted Charlottetown there were neither fortifications nor a garrison to oppose them.

MACNUTT‘ P.S. ——It is evident from the or- ders issued. to Lord Rollo that the British were under the im- pression that a fort had been er- ected by the French at Port la Joie, but from the statements of Villejoin and Rollo quoted above such was not the case. . On Page 150 of Stewart's His- tory it is stated “The French had never erected any {estimations on the Island, and had only a few guns mounted in an open battery at mouth of harbour,” and Dr. Harvey on Page 190 says “that Fort Amherst was the first fort erected on the Island.” HorlnAcum A IGH GRADE RESIDEIAL swoon.

M.D.} MORE than half of the com» mon allergies such as hay fever. asthma, eczema and the like can be traced directly to inheritance! either from parents or more dis- tant relatives. ' Because of this, many allengic parents, fetallul of passing on their allergy to their youngsters, have asked me how they can prevent this from occurring“ Well, you cannot! prevent it. It just isn’t, as yet, possible to 611- minaite the tendency of children to inherit allergy. WHAT STATISTICS SHOW If it is your side of the family that is allergic. probably one- third of your children may de- velop an allengy. If there Is al- lergy on both your side and that of your spouse, two-thirds of your youngsters are apt to be aller- gic.

NOW ,ATLAN'I‘ICANS ' At a press conference we at- tended, Sir William Routes, chair- man of the British Trade Mission to Canada referring to some rc- markis made by H. Watson J amer, agent - general for the Atlantic Provinces in the United Kingdom, said. “I suppose we must not say ‘Maritime Provinces’ any more, We must be sure to refer to them as the Atlantic Provinces.” Since the official offices of ‘flhe four seaboard provinces in Lon- don is known as Atlantic House, and Jiamer as agent-general for the Atlantic Provinces, there was much justice in Sir William’s remark. The problem arising therefimm is ,whether the people ’ of these provinces, heretofore known as Maritimers, so flan as :hree of them are concerned, will now have to be referred to as “Atlen‘tlcans.” DREW FAUX PAS ' IHon.
