rumr. mu I. an : Oil, Gas And Trade i For some time a coininittee of .the United States' Government has 7been considering recommending to the President and Congress a ban :or severe restrictions on oil imports. Ilt seems likely that in due course Lsome sort of restrictive law will be enacted; but whether or not it will . apply to Canadian oil is not clear. lSome representatives. mostly from Mid-West areas, have asked for that; pothers have expressed the opinion ithat an exemption should be made :for the Canadian product. Among the latter is Senator Alexander : Wiley of Wisconsin. E In A recent speech Mr. Wiley Ereminded the Senate that ”t'anada ' bought M billion worth more goods from us in i036 than she sold to ;us." He added that from lfl5l to l 1956 Casada exported S175 million ; worth of petroleum products and in ' the same period imported from the (United States 3335 million worth. I, To slap on import restrictions now, i I he argued, would not only be detri- mental to the Canadian economy but contrary to the defense needs of the United States. For several months Canadian t Government officials have been try- ing to keep the American market il' open for Canadian oil. They have v7', many obstacles to contend with. as J can be seen; but it is good to know , t 2 that they have influential friends at ' l court. ii Meanwhile. considerable contro- ,- versy is being waged among Ameri- ' can politicians over the question of i whether Canadian natural gas ' should be permitted to flow into the United States in quantity. Under- ,standably, most of the opposition I comes from legislators representing lcoal mining areas. Congressman I Elizabeth Kee of West Virginia is f the chief spokesman for this group. Speaking before the llouse of Rep- : resentatives A short time ago, Rep. ;Kee complained that "mines were 1 closing, railroads losing money. glass : and pottery plants going bankrupt, a women and children going hungry, ' All because compedng goods produc- ' ed in countries where wages and 3 living standards are far below those I enjoyed by American citizens have 1. been permitted to flow too freely ; unto our shores." It was A lurid picture. certainly, And probably A highly exaggerated ; I one. But is does point up one of the i . a; many difficulties involved in Can- t ' Adian-American trade. 4-n rut ' l t 1 Spanish Politics Reports from llladrid make clear ; that fieneral Franco is getting really w: ; to hand over the authority of state I y E f to A prince of the royal blood. proh- i I I v .

There are some historians who believe that Franco”s usurpation of power in 1931 helped to hasten the Second World War. inasmuch ' as it gave liitlcr encouragement to proceed with his totalitarian plans. 3 Be that As it may. any change in V ,; Spain's political structure will be 1; watched with interest. Of course, if I reinstated monarchy is considered '9 primarily As An Ally or A tool of the ' governing Pnlange Party, there will be no practical change in the politi- :i, cal pattern. The king will he merely i i A puppet of one politicnl group. .1" some students of Spanish affairs, 5 however. believe that if and when , f the charge in mode. the people will " demand A (water share in govern- mut.'I'lIlAo:niliIinlaAllAoi-tad i o v s 1 .' A democracy or A constitutional monucby belongs to the people themselves, his regime ha been on the whole A peaceful one and one that has brought considerable im- provement to the living standards of the people. But. however benevi) lent A dictatorship may be it is still a dictatorship; And by its very nu- tuie it exercises A depressing and wasting influence on the people's political Aspirations And knowledge. In Spain's case it would take many years for the people to gain Any measure of education in self-govern- ment. It may be, of course, that the intention is to make the monarchy ltake the place of Franco at some future time. In that case, there could be little or no change in the overall situation. Far Reaching Decision One of the really important exents in modern American history took place in a court room at Knox- ville. Tenn., early this week, when an all-white jury convicted seven white defendants in A criminal con- tempt case involving civil rights of Negro citizens. Specifically, the seven had been charged with fo- meiiting racial strife at Clinton by interfering with school integration which had been ordered by a Fed- eral Court. The report from Knoxville is that defence lawyers were "dazed" when the verdict was announced. Well they might be. The like had not happened before, and it is safe to say that no one expected it would happen this time. It has been suggested that two coiisiderations, apart from strictly legal ones, helped the jury to defy the traditional pattern: the fact that the leader of the offending group was an outsider (a resident of New Jersey) and the belief that a show of jury-justice at this time might influence Congressmen to include in the pending Civil Rights legislation the right to jury trial in all cases of contempt, something which is not provided for in the administration's recommendations. It is, of course, possible that these two factors did have some- thing to do with it. But there is no escaping the conclusion that A new social concept has been recognized in the Southern United States. It may be some time before it plays A very significant part in political and economic affairs, but it is on the way. The precedent established at Knoxville will have far reaching effects on American life. It will also enhance American prestige abroad. EDITORIAL NOTES "No matter what other media niay come and go.

This is the Standing Committee on Canadian Trade Relations. in 1933. its Cliairnian. Senator A N. McLean. decided that there was scope for that committee to perform A worthwhile job. That was in that long-age erA of ident- ism when many people in many Atlnntic nations believed those line sounding words being mouth- ed by statesmen of this And of many other countries.

Robertson even suggested that the NATO nations might achieve per- manent and unmatched prosperity through mutual free trade.

Against this background of mis- placed And indeed misled optim- ism. Senator Mi-Lean steered his committee into thin Attractive new pnylode of optimism. currently be- ing staked by so mAny Aiatesman.

THE CANADIAN CLAUSE That is the famous Article. often called the CAnAdlAn Clause be- cause it was insered At our in- sistence, which pledges the NATO Allies to co-operate in the non mil- itAry fields.
