JUNE 29. 1951 Dangerous False Prophets The so-called Canadian Peace Con- gress, headed by Dru J. C. Endicott whose activities have been exposed frequently in the press. is again active, this time with propaganda directed especially at the agri- cultural pcople of Canada. The circulars of this organization are flooding Prince Edward Island at the present time, and they are so plausible as to fool many people into thinking that we have no grounds for fight- ing in Korea, and that the real warmongers are our own politicians and military strat- cgists. Accompanying the circular which has been received by leaders of our Ffll'lIlt'l's Federation. co-operative organizations and Women's Institutes is .1 proposed ”text foi radio speech" in which emphasis is placed on such czitcli-plirascs as "It doesn't seem to matter much which side is at fault. Shrapnel SIl'll(CS with equal certainty the patriot and the aggressor. . . You do not need to be for or against any political be- lief, any religious opinions; none of these things is in question"; and the recipients are urged on this false basis to sign a neace petition at once.

Yet it. would be wrong to say that the peaceful aims of the Unitcd Nations have failed. There has been no armcd aggression by Communists else- where cxcept in Malaya and French Inde- China, and in both of these cases it pro- ceded that in Korea.

In the meantime. Communist peace pre- posals have been made and these are being considered seriously-nit. on the basis Of "peace at any price" but of world security. "Peace at any price" is what the Endi- cott organization stands for. Its appeal is as old as humanity itself. and lllSIOl) is a tragic record of the fate of those nations and civilizations which succumbed to its blandishments. At this critical stage it is playing into the hands of an enemy more formidable than any in the past, wliose gospel is world revolution 'and whose aim-openly avowed-is to command the religious as well as political allegiance of its subjects and impose itself upon their souls as the supreme object of worship Experimental -Farm Charlottetown and the Province are fortunate in possessing the fine Exper- imental Farm north of the City.

Frozen Fisli The process of freezing fish has roach- ed the stage where customers find little if any difference between fish fresh from the sea and the frozen product. it is pointed out by the St. John's Evening Telegram. The operator of a freezer in New York, told a group of visitors that the prejudicc against cold-storage fish had disappeared, that the process of freezing makes avail- able products from the sea that are high in quality and often low in price. This is I point to consider when meat prices are to high. - "Some idea of the wide variety made available by means of refrigeration was shown in an exhibit of herring from Britain. brook trout from Denmark, shrimps from Mexico and yellow pike from the Great Lakes. The fish, placed on deposit in the 'cold banks' by wholesalers, were distributed through refrigeration channels to the retail trade which were provided with storage facilities to maintain the low ' temperature of the products until they were disposed of.” EDITORIAL NOTES Now the country boys and girls can join the refrain, ”No more teachers. - ."

I O 0 Thomas l-leiiry liuxley. l-Jnglish scien- tist. died this date 1895. He was appointed assistant-surgeon to H. M. S. Rattlesnake and during a voyage to New Guinea wrote an important paper lending weight to the theory of evolution. I-lis ”Scientific Meni- oirs" runs to five volumes and he also published text books and controversial pa- pers. His passion was for "absolute ver- acity." I I I "The Irish" in him was exhibited by Prime Minister St. Laurent in the House of Commons when he got into grips with Mr. Drew. Leader of the Opposition, over Mr I-lowc's war-spending patronage policy. In other days any serious reflection cast upon a member of the Government in his of- ficial capacity, would immediately have called for his resignation or. alternately, a royal commission to investigate-the charges. 0 O O A warning that it would be ”foolish" to cut. back farm income through lower farm prices was sounded at the annual meeting of the National Independent Meat Packei':. Association by Carl H. Wilson, Washington economic analyst. "Farm income is the gear wheel of national income and the gear ratio is seven to one," Mr. Wilson said. "For every 31,000,000 of farm income, the country has consistently had -337,000,000 of national income for the past 25 years." he claimed. I O 0 Official representatives of Canada's doc- tors, with an eye evidently on the spectre of State Medicine as seen in England and elsewhere. told Montreal reporters that "tert- ical care insurance should be available to everyone. that the state should pay where individuals could not. but. "people able to pay for their own medical care should not have it paid by the state and subsidized by the doctors." The General Council of the Canadian Medical Association also hold that. the General Practitioner was not be- ing given sufficient access to the educa- tional and scientific facilities of hospitals; decided that the rating of Canadian hos- pitals. carried out until now by the Am- erican College of Surgeons. will be taken over by Canadian medical men; and also decided to seek more Government aid to fight arthritis. rnc GUARDIAN. cHARi.ii1'ri-:rowN Too Freiiuont "it Visitor. of Late I?

Shcllet. teacher at Yonkers High School, Yonkcrs, N.Y.) As a tcachcr in the public schools, I find that the Socialist- Communist idea of taking "from cacti according to his ability", and giving "to each according to his nccd" is now generally accepted without qucstion by most. of our pup;:.-2 In an effort. to explain the fallacy in this theory. I comclimca try this approach with my pupils: When one of the brighter or harder-working pupils makes a grade of 95 on a test, I suggest thatl take away 20 points and give them to a studcnt who has made only 55 points on his test. Thus each would contribute ac- cording to his ability and-since both would have a parsing mark -each would receive according I0 his need. After I linvr: juggltd the grades of all the other pupils in this fashion. the result is usually a "common ownership" grade of be- tween 75 and 80--tlfb mlnlmum needed for passing. or for surviv- al. Then I speculate with the pu- pils as to the probable results if I actually u--cd the socialistic the- ory for grading papers. First. the highly productive pu- pils-and they are always a min- ority in school as well as in life- would soon lose all incentive for prodiiicinpz. Why strive to make a high grade it part of it is taken from you by "authority" and given to someone else? Second, the less productive pu- pils-a majority in school as else- where-would. for A time. be re- llevcd of the necessity to study or to produce. This syttcm would continue until the high producers had sunk-or had been driven down-to the level of the lower producers. At that point. in order for anyone to survive. the "auth. orily" would have no alternative but to begin a system of compul- sory labor and punishment: again-it even the low producers. Finally I return the discussion to the ideas of freedom and an- terprise-the market ,- whcre each person has freedom of choice. and is rcsponatble for his own decisions and welfare. Grott- fyingly enough. most of my pupil: then understand what I mean when I explain that socialism- even in a democracy-will event.- ually result in living-death for all except the "authorities" and I few of thcir favorite lackcys. Soviet Note On Japanese Peace Treaty (3)! W. W. EWER) The new Soviet. note about the Japanese peace treaty can be in- tcrprctcd and is being intei-prcteal in two completely different ways. There are some who see in it a proposal which would break the deadlock on procedure which lies existed since the Moscow confer- ence of 1947. There are others who regard it as a rcafflrnintion of the Soviet. position which cre- ated that deadlock. And certainly there are passages in the note which seem to support both these contradictory views. Let. me explain. In Moscow. in 1947. Molotov insisted that the procedure agreed on at Potsdam for the preparation of the Europ- ean pence treaties must be fol. lowed also in the case of the Jup- anese treaty. The preparation of the treaty must be done by the Foreign Ministers of the great powers in a council of Foreign Ministers. The other Allies uould only come into the picture after- wards in a wider conference. which would discuss a draft al- ready accepted and approved un- animously by the members or the council. This the Western powers refused to accept. They did not. CUllSl('lN' that the Potsdam agreement. about the making of European treaties should be binding in the case of Japan. The method had not proved particularly efficient in the case of the European trentlcs of 1946. And indeed, their fear: that it might simply produce deadlock and delay were to be confirmed by the experience of the Austrian Treaty. The Foreign Ministers and their deputies have spent four years in falling to agree upon a draft for Austria. Moreover, there was an exceedingly strong case for ad- mitting countries like Australia and New Zcaland--which had borne A large part of the brunt of the fighting against Japan for more than three years before Rus- sia entered the war - to every stage of the work of preparing it pcace treaty. They had, in fact, been given assurances that they would participate in the work at every stage. But Molotov was adamant. He would not have anything to do with any treaty-making which did not begin with a meeting of a council of Foreign Ministers com- posed of the U.S.A.. the U.K.. the Soviet. Union and China. 0 O 0 This deadlock has lasted for four years. Now comes the new Soviet. proposal. There is one pas- sngc tn the note which declares. "A peace conference must. be call- ed in order to examine the exist- ing drafts of the peace ti-entywltli Japan, in July or August 1951. coiislstlng of representatives of all states whose armed forces took part: in the war against Japan." Now that. at first sight. certainly looks as if the Soviet Government had abandoned its old attitude and was now prepared to accept. the Western thesis that all the ante: who had taken part in the fighting must. take part. from the beginning in the pence-making. But.-that is only one passage. The note has to be taken as it whole and, in another passage, It says: "The preparation of the peace treaty with Japan is en- trusted to four countries-the U. s.A., the Soviet Union. Great Bri- tain and China" and that. this "calla for the convening of ii council of Foreign Ministers con- sisting of representatives of those four countries." Which is the soviet. Government. really p. ' . a council or a conference? It seems to be doing both at once. And the only ex- planation I can see for this curl- oua behaviour is that Moscow hopes that. by Itlll insisting on it! f ” for a " it will make sure its proposal is rejected. whereupon it will about to the world that the Western allies have rejected, a generous concession Such tortuous thinking to not un- familiar.
