E A Boon To ‘Castro i The harebrained attempt of Cuban ‘students to stage a raid by Sea 0“ ‘may-ana is doubly unfortunate, in that fit comes at a time when Premie"r Cas- Itro is looking for all the propaganda -‘}1e can find to -.li.-ztract attention from lCuba’s internal troubles. Washington iias disclaimed any responsibility for ‘this raid, and has warned that repe- tition of such an action b.V a“tl'C_a3' tro refugees could mean D1“-‘“’-c““°“ under the US. Neutrality Act. But Castro's charge of American involve- ment makes a good smokescreell for the retreat he is now making from his promised‘ agrarian reform .pro- gram. It is an old trick of dictators to find a scapegoat for their own inade- quacies; and this one, from Gastro’s gtarldpoint. couldn't ha\'e come at It more opportune time. When he came to power in 1959 iii estimated 75 per cent of Cuba’s agricultural area was held b.V fewer than 8 per cent of the landowners, and it _was to the landless peasants that Castro's appeal was chiefly directed. Large tracts of land were expropriated by the new revolution- ary governmcnt for distribution among some 200,000 landless famil- ies. But from the beginning there were problems. Production lagged in some areas; inefficiency crept into many operations. Soon, the govern- ment was accusing producers ‘of sabotage. This year’s harvest of sug- .a1_i, Cuba's most important commod- ity, fell 30 per cent below the 1961 level. Last week, in direct violation of earlier pledges, Castro announced that from now on Cuba's agricultur- al system would be based completely pn collective and state farms similar to those in Russia. The peasants will lose the land they got in 1959: the state will probably take over all agri- cultural production. ' l It may be too late now for the Cuban peasants to do much about kliis betrayal of their interests. Cas- tro’s move follows the same pattern Sf other Communist countries—,-the Isoviet Union. the East European ' atellites and China have all failed go fulfill their farm programs. But 3n Cuba’s case. this failure was bound Sta have reactions in other Latin {American countries, where Castro's isympathizers have been- seeking to {gain support. They will be working :overtime now to turn the invasion ‘fiasco into a fullblown Yankee plct ftp restore the old Cuban landowner gstem and all the other injustices which the revolution stood pledged to wipe out. Not Taken Seriously- .1‘ That there is well-organized op- flosition in Britain to Britain's entry into the European Common Market evidenced at the packed meeting at Albert Hall, London, the other . day, when leaders of the Anti-Com- mon Market League held forth amid loud applause. However, it is not be- M? ed that this will seriously embar- g the Macmillan Government.

The con- dition of world trade after 1970, for example, may be a subject for spec- ulation, but cannot present a basis for the laying down of hard and fast conditions. Britain’s entry into the Market is among other things an at- tempt to gain more control ‘over an evolution which is already under 'ay. “As for political opposition to this country’s entry into Europe,” says The Spectator, "this has proved itself to be something of a paper tiger over the last few weeks, and there now seems to be less danger that the anti- Marketeers in the Conservative party will gain support as time goes on . . . All in all, it appears that two months’ delay will do the Government no ser- ious harm and may turn out to have unsuspected advantages. At least, no- body can say that Britain is rushing into Europe. By October negotiations will have gone on for nearly a year.” And The Economist of London puts the situation this way: “It is hard to think of any risk in joining the Com- mon .\larket, so far as Britain is con- cerned. equal to the enormous risk of being left outside the potential . United States of Europe.” The Flower‘Show Again it is our privilege to call attention to one of the most de- lightful attractions of our whole sum- mer season. This is the Provincial Flower Show—now in its eleventh year-—which opens in Summerside to- day under the sponsorship of the Ahegweit Chapter, I.O.D.E. Prepar- ations for the exhibition, we note, have been under way for several months. This gives some idea of the amount of planning required for a big show of this kind; but it doesn’t tell the whole story: ' It doesn’t; tell of the enthusiasm which has gone into this enterprise, of the interest it has created among flower lovers throughout the Prov ince and the high praise it has elicit- ed from visitors who have enjoyed the fine displays put on in previous years. Many of them, we under- stand, have timed their vacation this year to coincide with the Flower Show. They wouldn’t miss it for worlds. There will be over 150 classes open to exhibitors ‘this year, includ- ing a “special feature” in the form of mixed flowers in the colors of the Island Tartan. In addition to the flower display there will be an ab- breviated showing of fall fashions, and light refreshments will be served at a sight additional charge. Last year's attendance eclipsed all previous records, and there is every reason to expect that a new record will be set on this occasion. It’s that kind of a show-—-attracting enthusiasts in ever-increasing num- bers by its loveliness and charm. EDITORIAL NOTES While production of motor vehic- les has been increasing steadily,.1t is saddening to note that the num- ber of horses on Canadian farms at June 1 had dropped by 6.5 per cent to 477,200 from 510,600 at the cor- responding date last year. * Q 1|‘ By 1964 it is expected that the import of natural gas from the Sa- hara’ will be helping to cook the Sun- day dinner for 13,000,000 British households and that gas charges will be reduced. A $25,000,000 distribution system of some 325 miles of pipeline will carry the methane gas from Canvey Island on the _ Thames estuary to most of Engliand via local distribution centres. The- imported natural gas is to be liquefied in a plant at Port Aizew, on the Mediter- ranean, after travelling 250 miles by pipeline from :1 natural gas field in. the North African desert. III III III Love knows no age limit. Of the estimated 1,494,000 marriages in the United States in 1959. there were about 35,300 in which the bride, the groom, or both were 65 years of age or older. In about 11,500 of these marriages, both bride and groom were 65 or over. The figures, re- ported by the United States depart-- ment of health. education and wel- fare, also show in “surprising ten- dency toward an increasing age dif- ference with advancing age.” Ten per cent of the over-65 grooms mar- ried women 25 or more years young- or.

Then it glows with a soft. pearly light through the darkened skies. To mechanical eyes in satellites, however. the corona would appear continu- ously etched against the black- ness of space. The gaseous corona extends tens of millions miles from its parent. Observations from mountain tops and instruments borne aloft in rockets and bal- loons have revealed much about the denser part of __th e corona immediately surround- ing the sun. Astronomers hope that satellites \vlll give the cor- onal picture to a radius of 20 million miles. The corona consists of rarified gasses, including many mun- dane elements such as iron and nickel. Extreme heat ionlzes or electrically charges the atoms, ct-rating the light of the corona. Photographs taken during oc- lipses show rays, loops. and domes in the coronal structure. When the sun is dotted with sun- spots, the rays protrude equally around the sphere. But whe the spots are few. the rays ex- tend only from the equatorial. zone.

The fanatics of the extreme right take a lot of teaching. Deprived of a privileged terrain for terrorism with the Moslem war for independ- ence. they now try to transplant banditry and sudden death into mainland France. They will fail. What they could not accomplish in Algeria, despite the complicity of the European population. they will have less chance of achieving in a France that is steadily turning its eyes to other horiz- ons. REPEATED PLOTS This said. the fact remains that a handful of desperate men can exert great nuisance value, a keep dark a corner of French political life. To many outside observers it vléll seem incredible that the latest bid to kill de Gaulle is the fourth plot against the president of the fifth republic within a year. Who are the men who would seize power by force?

Their cause is increasingly derided. Le Figaro. a rlghtwing Paris paper originally sympa- thetic to the aims of Algeria Francals. has sharply criticized the bid to bring to France the regime ,of "gangs ruling by menace, murder and exaction." In an editorial just before the attempt to kill de Gaulle. it said: “A few coloflels who shoot up hospital patients and who rob banks, traitors to the nation whose arms they use. hatch their plots . . . with the blind complicity, alas, of some au- thentic patriots. their common passion being an obsessional hatred of de Gaulle." ' FOES FROM RIGHT Oddly enough, many of de Gaulle's most vehement critics come from the traditional right in French politics. a milieu to which the president himself he- ngs. Virtually every new appoint- ment bearing the presidential seal is a titled person, or one with “de" before the surname. suggesting links with the old aristocracy. Noting this tendency, some observers say de- Gaulle is feel- ing his way toward a monarch- lcal regime. to be ‘installed after his departure. One candl- - date suggested is the Count of Paris. the French pretender.

Another theory center: about a kidney defect that impair: the ellmlnatlo of uric. acid. ‘the chemical at" accumulates in the blood and settles in gouty ioints.
