As yet this is all that is required. The U. N. S;-siirlty Council has made no specific call upon Klcniber States for military or other action, although it has invited volun- tary &lSSiFl;lllCO. Its first directive was an order to cczisc fire, presented to all Korean authorities. which was ignored by North Korea.

"Those Indians who have become pro- gressive and independent apparently have done so because of personal and religious factors totally unrelated to the government program," he concludes. EDIIURIAI.

The sub-committee has request- ed a complete list of all historic sites which have been perman- ently marked in this Province. I have been able to furnish the sub-committee with a list of those sites of national interest which have been marked by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. but I have not any om. Ciel. or complete. list of historic sites in the Province which have been marked by other groups or individuals. In order that the sub-committee of the Royal Commission may have the fullest possible informa- tion on this subject. I am taking the liberty of addressing your readers through your valued col- umns and asking them to let me know of any historic sites or events which have been perman- ently marked in their communi- ties. Information in each case should contain a brief outline of the event commemorated. the na- iure of the monument or tablet. and the name of the person or group who erected the manu- ment. if available.

This protected status. stemming from the ancient dictum that "the King can do no wrong." has become anomalous and inequitable by the modern ex- tension of government functions and activities into many fields. once regarded as outside the pro- per sphere of state jurisdiction and left to private enterprises. it was explained by Hon.

Parliament recently passed an amendment to the Criminal Code which now eliminates the necessity for this. when the last. re-registration of revolvers and pistols was made between March 1 and July 1, 1945, the certificates issued bore a no- tation to the effect that the well- pon must. be re-registered during a similar period in 1950.

It is noteworthy that there was no sug- gestion on this occasion of a plebiscite be- ing necessary to determine the Govern- ment's attitude. As for the Opposition, they were concerned only in obtaining assuran- ces that the naval forces to be supplied would be enough, and that more would fol- low swiftly if needed. Parliament has rarely been so unanimous in thus indicating that it means business. Fishing contests Not Lotteries Last February the U. S. Post Office De- partment shocked disciples of Isaac Walton by ruling that a fishing contest is a lottery if the contestant puts up money to enter it and there is a prize for the biggest fish caught. Reaction in Washington. if not swift. has been decisive. A House commit- tee has approved amendments to the Fed- eral anti-lottery laws making it clear that such contests are legal if approved by a state for the development of recreational resources and not for profit. Necessity for the legislation should never, of course, have arisen. That fish- ing, which consists of studying the ways of the finny tribe; seeking out favourable spots for the lure; selecting the time after judiciously consulting calendar. thermomet- er, barometer and the heavens; choslng from an almost infinite variety the lure which will prove as dear to the heart of the fish as to the fisherman: dexteriously handling the gear to the perfection of which generation after generation of enthusiastic fishermen has contributed; that all this should be considered in the same Class with buying a ticket on an unknown horse in a sweepstake passes comprehension. It is true. of course, that skill is not invariably re- warded. But that is so in any pursuit. A duffer may score a bullls eye on the range, but that does not make a rifle shoot a game of chalice. A novice may win a prize for the largest fish, but his chances of doing so are increased by gvery bit of tishsi-msn's lore he can learn and make use of. Lo, The Poor Indian! It isn't necessary to dip into the night- mare novels of Buck Rogers politics, says the Financial Post, to discover what would become of us as individuals under any vis- ionary welfare state. Just imagine the case of the North American Indian, living his secure, government-guaranteed life on the reservation. It's clear enough. I-lere”s what an Indian missionary on the Owyhee reservation in Nevada recently wrote: "One of the surest consequences of It government of 'welfare' and 'securlty' is the rapid decline and death of responsibility and character. "Whatever the pre-reservation Indian was. and his faults were real, he was able to take care of himself and had a char- scter becoming to his culture and religion. He was a responsible person. Today he is far from that. The wretched security he has had, beginning with the food and cloth- ing dole of early years, designed to enforce the reservation system and destroy Indian The proposed amalgamation of suburbs with Toronto proper has been the subject of not a little barbed comment across the country. The consensus of opinion seems to be a bigger Toronto could not be an improvement. . U I Our convention tourists are more than satisfied with their visit here-”a little glimpse of heaven" ”where'every prospect pleases”, and "the people so friendly and hospitable." Such are some of the tributes left behind. I O 0 Mr. McLure, M.P., and the Prime Min- ister are agreed on at least two subjects. the beauty of Rustico and the delicious- ness of lobsters. Dining together in the Parliamentary restaurant at Ottawa, they found them common ground on which to dilate. O 1 O The thirteen hour time differential be- tween Tokyo and the Maritimes contributes not a little to the confusion over war dis- patches.

Although asked for by the official Opposition there is no in- dication that the Progressive-Conservative Party, as such, will be represented by coiin- sel. U I I Many Scotsmen are resentful of some leaders of the Home Rule for Scotland Party visiting the U. S. A. and Canada on a beg- ging mission to further their cause. Novel- ist Eric Linklater has asked that his signa- ture be erased from the covenant seeking a separate Scottish parliament because he says to beg American money for a Scot- tish cause seems undignified. It is worse, it is an insult to Scotlandls independence. 0 I I They breed an unusual type of Premier in the Prairies who attract Canadian-wide attention. Social Credit Premier Ernest C. Manning is a Gideonite, and he and his wife travel 20,000 miles a year preaching its gos- pel in addition to advocating Social Credit. On the other band, C. C. F. Premier Rev- erend T. C. Douglas is being sued for 5100,- OOO for the alleged slander of the Liberal Opposition Leader. The case is likely to be heard by seven judges in the Supreme Court at Ottawa. Our Maritime Premiers have attained no such distinction. I I O The National Film Board was described as a "useless" Government agency by Sen- ator Jacob Nlcol (L-Quebec) in the Senate on its closingnlght. Speaking during sec- ond reading of legislation to reorganize the National Film Board, Senator Nicol said the Senate repeatedly heard pleas for econ- omy, yet it was asked to approve expend- itures for such agencies as the Film Board. "I may be wrong, but I think one of the most useless boards is the National Film Board." A number of employees had been ”tumed out" as untrustworthy, he said, and, if "that is the condition", than whysshould the board he continued. The necessity of such boards should be studied lkfore in- volving the country in needless expenditure to provide jobs for more or less deserving politicians.

F IL. I.) lg SUBMARINE CABLE SPLICED Letter from Henry Palmer. Esq., agent for the Electric! Telegraph Company. to the editor of Has- zards Gazette, July 4. 1855: ' . ”I have muchpleasure in inform- ing you and the public generally. that I. have been quite successful "1 taking UP and relaying the sub. marine cable in 5 position clear of the rocks, which had much injur- ed ihat. portion of it lying on them. by the action of the ice. Although the distance across the Gulf. where it. now ies. is two miles longer. yet, by having it laid in a direct or straight line, we found that we had over half a mile of cable to spare, which clearly showed how im- methodically it was laid in the first instance. We have had a great por- tion of the injured part taken out. and the remainder well spliced and secured, and it now works admir- ably. ”This affords me much more satisfaction on account of the great doubt existing in the minds of many (and I believe among some of the Company) as to whether we could splice it, and preserve per- fect insulation. Mr. Gisbourne, who is so celebrated in these matters, told me he would not undertake to raise the cable and relay it for less than s1,000, and offered to bet me 310010 31 that if we took it up and re-laid it. it would not work! I have done it for less than half the sum, and although splice-d in sev- eral places. it works as perfect as ever. Much credit is due Mr. Quin- lan. the operator, in this under- taking: he always felt satisfied it could be done. "Although it may be usual. it is the first instance of splicing sub- marine cable we have heard of. I am now putting the line in working order from Cape Traverse to Cope Amherst, and in the course of six or eight days feel confident we will be prepared to send messages to sny part of the States.

It is gratifying to see one more vestige of this anachronistic prac- tice removed, but the Government has still preserved it in regard to regular departments and the Gov- ernment as a whole. Question was raised in Parliament as to the validity of maintaining this last bulwark of special protection. and it is worth noting that steps were taken in Britain several years '-IKO substantially to curtail such im- munity. not only for Crown agen- cies but for state departments as well. While it. was felt. in London that certain safeguards and limita- tions should he kept. the general principle was laid down that Gov- ernment entitles should be just as subject to court. jurisdiction and litigation as private individuals or corporations. It may be hoped that further consideration will be given to end- ing or at least reducing the special and artificial status enjoyed by Government divisions. not only in regard to court action but as to local taxation.
