Recalling History It was the great British historian Arnold Toynbee who, in his scholarly treatise Civilization on Trial. quoted the ancient Latin maxim, ”The more you throw out history with a pitchfork. the more it keeps on coming back." Toynbee's choice of quotation is vividly recalled by the antics of Britain's former socialist Minister of Health. Aneurin Bevan. For, just as the bolshevik revolution foundered as a true attempt to replace despotism with a socialist democracy because of revolution- ary extremists, so too the bloodless social- ist revolution in Britain threatens to founder as an experiment in democracy be- cause of the extremist andxuncompromisw ing attitude of Mr. Bevan and his followers. It is probably inevitable that every ex- periment in socialism will thus fail. For sooner or later the more sober-minded el- ements in the movement recognize, as Prime Minister Attlee and some of his cab- inet colleagues appear to have done, that socialism can only find its ultimate fulfil- ment within the framework of a police state. It is but natural that men of Mr Attlee's temperament and backgrouni should shrink back in horror from such a consequence. It is equally natural that men of Mr. Bevan's temperament should be ready to stop at nothing to achieve their ends. Mr. Bevan has now made his position and that of his followers quite clear. What he fears and hates- most. of all. it seems. is Britainls alliance with the United States. For the security of the North Atlantic Pact he would substitute the dubious alternative of "co-operation” with the Soviet Union. , ”.Restrain the Americans", .says Mr. Bevan, and there will be peace in the world. I If Trotsky were alive today, instead of having been assassinated by Stalinls thugs while in exile, he would understand Aneurin Bevan. Fortunately, for the rest of us in- cluding Prime Minister Attlee. there is still history to guide us as to the course to be followed in this time of crisis. Manufacture To Order The falling off of auto sales resulting from credit restrictions has drawn attention to a feature of the modern economy which seems.to have resulted from lessons leam- ed from the depression days of the ithirties. Instead of cars piling up in the hands of dealers and then in those of the makers. production simply slowed down or tempor- arily stopped. The manufacturers were producing to order and dealers, by and large, were taking orders for cars rather than stock- ing them for sale. The system has the ef- fect of preventing periodic gluts on the market and resulting price cuts. The sup- ply is simply reduced and prices remain at or near the previous level. Variation in demand has more rapid ef- fects on employment, of course, but i the worker also in this socialistic age has his own cushion against economic tides in the form of unemployment insurance and other benefits. It would seem that we are heading to- wards the situation where only the farmer must make outlays with the return de- pendent on conditions months or even years ahead. Vlortli Remembering This is a timely occasion for recalling the results of an investigation into the means of preventing death from drowning which was conducted by the Health League of Canada more than a decade ago, The League reported in 1938 that the public generally knew too little about the use- fulness of artificial respiration in cases where persons were submerged for more than a. few minutes. Based on a series of investigations carried out by the late Sir Frederick Banting. and on the evidence of innumerable case histories, the Health Lea- gue's conclusion was that many deaths from drowning might have been prevented by the prompt and sustained application of Irtificidi respiration. Many of the drown- ing accident victims died because efforts to revive them were inadequntel Their rescuers, assuming that there was no chance of their surviving more than three or four mmntgs of x.. the heart had stopped beating-performed artificial respiration for only a short time. Persons who have been under water for 15 to 30 or even 35 minutes have been rc- . vived by prolonged artificial respiration. According to Dr. Gordon Bates, general director of the Health League. artificial respiration should be kept up for hours. whether or not there are signs of life. Moreover. in many cases of apparent drowning, the actual cause of death was suffocation. Sir Frederick Banting -and his associates discovered that the larynx of a drowning victim might-remain closed, when he lost consciousness. if his rescuers failed to ensure that air passages were free, their application of artificial respiration would be vain. It is essential, then. in the reviving of apparently drowned persons. to make sure that there is no obstruction of any kind in the mouth or throat. When this is ascer- tained. artificial respiration should be ap- plied and continued either until success is achieved or rigor mortis sets in. This may necessitate the application of artificial res- piration for four hours or longer. But it may save a life.

Edward Agar Horatio, fifth Eail Nelson of Trafalgar and Merton of Swanage, Dor- set, left d14,115 (duty paid 54.675). This means the new Earl will have just about 39,000 with which to carry on The first silver florins were issued this date 1849. The two-shilling coin derived its name from the gold coin of 54 grains weight issued in Florence in 1252. A gold florin, value six shillings. was issued by Edward III but soon withdrawn. The 1849 coins were known as the ”godless florins" from the omission of "Del Gratin" from the legend. This is an imperfect world. to put it mildly. and it would be a daring states- man indeed who applied the doctrine of loving his country's enemies but even Com- munists seem to refrain from ridiculing Quakers who sincerely try to put into practice the principles which most Christ- ians hold in theory. J I The Speaker of the New Zealand-House of Representatives is anxious to lift the ban on a number of opprobrlous words which have been ruled un-parliamentary The effort would seem unnecessary if pol- iticians Down Under are as expert at find- ing new insults to throw at opponents as they seem to be everywhere else. . . The principle that it is better to help people to help themselves than risk making them permanently dependent on outside assistance is being more closely followed by those administering the United States Marshall Plan. It was inevitable, prob- ably, that ln the early emergency stages direct' relief should have been unavoidable but the self-help idea is certainly more sound. The Chieftain of the MacLeods.

A GAELIC SCHOLAR The following item from the Glasgow Herald of Oct. 23. 1840. was reprinted in Island newspap- crs following the arrival here of the Rev. Mr. McIntyre as minis- ter of St. James Presbyterian Church: "On Friday last, the Rev. An- gus Msclntyrc was ordained here. previous to his proceeding to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is- land. having been appointed by the Colonial Committee to that interesting charge. Mr. Maclntyre is a young man of high talent. The Synod of Argyle awarded him the premium for plvinity, and the Edinburgh ,Unlversity the Mac- Phcrson Bursary of il00 for liter- ary distinction. Mr. Maclntyre is likewise a distinguished Celtic scholar-having translated several tractatcs for the good of. his coun- trymen, and he carries with him A new Gaelic grammar in MS.. on a condensed and popular plan. which we have no doubt. will prove worthy of its author. Mr. Mac- Intyre. we believe. left on Satur- day via Liverpool. 'l-lalifax and Boston. per steamer. to join his anxious flock. many of whom are emigrants from the bounds of the Presbytery of Mull. and his own former neighbors." Review And Outlook Canada's economy will become more, rather than less. sensitive to international events. says the current issue of the Canadian Bank of Commerce monthly Com- mercial Lettcr. .It. would be un- realistic to assume that. although the tenslon has eased. the West- ern nations can relax and neglect the defence economy we have chosen. Industrial production. in, the aggregate. is at is level above that. of 1950. Restrictions on the use of steel. copper. aluminum. etc. and shortages of certain mater- ials, do not yet seem to have had a very depressing effect on can- sumer production in general. De- fence productlon has not yet mov- ed into high gear and, so far. has caused only moderate diversion of plant, materials and labour. The mid-year estimate of cap- ital investment projects for 1951 is 34.581 million. the largest on record. It is significant that it coincides with a defence program that is expected to absorb 8 to in per cent of this year's Gross Na- tional Product. Compared with last year there have been consid- erable changes in the proportions allotted to various classes of in- vestment. In the first six months of 1951 construction contracts awarded were just. slightly more than twice those for the same period lust year. Industrial and engineering awards were. percent- age-wlse. up sharply It the ex- pense of residential and commer- cial contrscts. Defence projects and resource development were to the fore.

(St. John Telegraph-Journal) A second chapter is now open- ing in the story of the dragger. or vest-pocket trawler. and its transformation of the New Bruns- wick fisheries. It may mean, that the years lmmediairly ahead will see .both a further increase in the number of draggers plying our coastal waters and A con- siderable extension of the areas in which they operate. Since the close of the Second World War. the efficient little draggcrs have gradixnlly but sure- ly pushed most of the obsolete sailing vessels out of the Nortl. Shore fishing picture. By 1950 there were twenty of these vessels shuttling back and forth from the north and east shoreline of New Brunswick to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. com- ing home with bigger catches of cod. faster and more re-guliirly, than their predecessors. Keeping- pace with the heavier und stead ler influx of fish. quick-freezing and cold storage plants. of which there were only about four be- fore the war. increased to ten. Thus while the draggcrs did- as their critics had always con- tended they would-reduced the number of men actually engaged in fishing. they helped make it possible for a far greater num- ber of men and women to earn a livelihood in shore plants. pro- cessing their catches. This year has seen the modern fleet augmented by five more rlraggers. stepping up the North Shore fleet to twenty-five. But perhaps the most important 1951 development, in the lnng run. will be the fact that two new- type dractgz-rs have hml success- ful trlals-.-: small draggcr for the North Shore and a larger dragger for the Bay of Fundy. One of the features of the new Caraquet drazger is the far: that its rost-about two-thirds that of the standard type-puts it within the reach of mort- flshermon. ills construction. as in the case of all draggers. is as- sisted by :4 provincial loan and vi federal subsidy). Also. the craft can be handled by three or four men instead of five. The Bay of Fundy dragger. di- Slgned to rope with deep water and strong tides. will he operat- ed by a Grand Manon fishing family. If its work proves pro- ductive. more of the some type will undoubtedly be launched to take the place of hand-line and long-line vessels. Prime Minister King's Political Ends (Saturday Night) There will shortly be Ivuilnble to the public in the Proceedings of the Canadian Political Science Association a most remarimble paper by Mr. Eugene Forsey on the constitutional theories and practices of the late Mr. Macken- zie King. and we imagine that Mr. For-sey will eventually extend his discussion of this fertile topic into a full-size book. We hIvc long felt -that Mr. King was capable of wresting constitutional doctrines from their main purpose to serve his political ends, and that in the King-Byng case he did so in, I i-Ither IlIrm- lng manner. Mr. Forsey. by dint of tremendous industry. has dug up so many similar but less spec- tacular cues that he feels entitled io suggest as a sort. of motio fo: the King regime "I hsve mIdo the senate my wuhpot. and avert the Commons have I can out my shoe."

Mr. Forsey asks himself wheth- r Mr. King's constitutioml creed was really pnrllsmentsry democ- racy; was it not rather ' ' ” ' ary democracy with a thin par- liamentary veneer?" As far back as 1923 he enunciated I doctrine which was already A denial of the right of Parliament to change Governments "The whole effort manifest in the evolution of gov- ernment". he said, "has been to bring the ministry to the point where. if for any reason whatever it ceases to hold the confidence of Parliament. it. will be obliged to so to the people." No recognition there of the possibility that Pur- llnment. might be willing to grant its confidence to some other min- istry.
