Generous Treatment The allotment of $1,359,000 of federal revenue over the next three years for the improvement of agri- cultural and natural resources in this Province is a matter’ of great satis- faction to our provincial authorities. and to our people generally. The fact that we had some of 0111' Dl‘0KI‘3-m under way under the Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Act was a major contributing factor in‘ obtaining this favorable considera- tion, and the Shaw Government can take full marks for its initiative in this regard. Rural electrification, reforesta- tion, and further development of ponds, parks and dams are listed as among the projects to be aided. It is pleasing to note, too, that through- out Canada there will be no curtail- ment of theme grants due to the na- tion’s emergency economic measures. Agricultural interests, apparently. are recognized as of prime concern to the national economy, and this is as it should be. The Government is on s a f e ground here, politically as well as economically. It may find the going tough when Parliament meets, but not on this issue of rehabilitating our farming areas and boosting their productive capacity. The evidence collected by the Senate committee on this subject is too convincing to be disputed. If there is any criticism from opposition parties on expendi- ture for this purpose, it will be with respect to details rather than to the principle involved. This is something about which Premier Shaw has been enthusiastic for a. long time, and we have no doubt that yesterday's news of the generous Ottawa allotment will act as a potent cordial in speeding his recovery from his recent illness. We value the Premier so highly on per- eonal grounds that we would be in- clined to regard this aspect of the benefits accruing under the grant as among the most gratifying at the moment.

For it is Prof. Parkinson's theory that busi- ness today—-especially governmental business-—is in danger of being over- grhelmed by a sea of paper. Every- gne is sending pieces of paper to gveryone else, reading what comes ’ others, making notes a 'l d emoranda, and energetically multi- lying the amount of paper in circu- ' on to the detriment of other yitlee.

Every- body thinks he is busy, and he may be. Everyone is putting it down on paper. But what happens after a hard day's work of this kind? “The man whose life is devoted to paper- work has lost the initiative. He is dealing with things that are brought to his notice, having ceased to no- tice anything for himself. He has been essentially defeated by his jo .” Prof. Parkinson tells of one chair- man of a‘ board who decided to go out and see for himself. He visited a branch of his company on a Sat- urday afternoon. He found the girls working overtime to fill the cata- logue cards. He asked what the cards were for. “For?” repeated the super- visor blankly. “They’re for filling in. , Here is one. sir. You can see for yourself that it has to be filled in”. "But why ?" asked the chairman. No one could tell him. No one knew. No one had ever known. Inquiries of this kind could be ve ry disturbing in governmental quarters. Perhaps, after all, it is just as well that they are not likely to become general! Apostle Of The Arctic The death recently of Vilhjal- mur Stefansson, veteran Arctic ex- plorer, is a reminder of the tremen- dous strides that have been made in this field of scientific research in a single lifetime. This Manitoba-born scientist, with his Icelandic ancestry, was among the foremost in the con- tribution he made. He was known as the “Apostle of the Arctic,” for it was by his writing and lecturing, even more than by his explorations, that he succeeded in focusing world attention upon the Arctic and its potentials. Stefansson was involved in many arguments on the subject, notably with Raoul Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer, who attack- ed him bitterly. He was criticised for showing little regard for those who struggled to reach the North Pole, and it is true that he regarded such expeditions as largely useless, or at best theatrical. “I am a scientist, not a tourist," he would say. The Arctic he regarded, not as a place for people to make “dashes” to the Pole but to study and understand, to develop and to use. ‘ His practical knowledge was of great service to the United States and to the Western Allies in gen- eral during the Second World War. And his library on the Arctic, the greatest ever formed, was his gift to Dartmouth College in New Hamp- shire. But it will take another cen- tury to fully evaluate his contribut-_ ion to human welfare, through the insight he gave into what the North has to offer and what it may mean.

A FINE GESTURE Comforts For Fciir Isle Crofters The crofters who live on the remote Fair Isle. off the north coast of Scotland, have had lit- tle in the way of living com- forts and amenities. Now, for the first time, they are to have electricity in the 42 homes which house all the inhabitants of this lonely island.’ And this is being made possible by the vol- untary and unpaid labor of a team of international workers. It is a remarkable example of the type of thing which is being done through the International Voluntary Service Organization. The work is carried on under a scheme instituted by the Na- tional Trust of Scotland to en- courage the islanders to re- main there by improving their amenities. The Trust has pro- vided a grant of $15,000 to make the Installation possible. UNUSUAL THING The unusual thing about this project, of course, lies in th e fact that the work of layln g cables and the conversion of old buildings into a modern plant for a diesel generator is all be- ing done by voluntary labor.

Anglo-American Offer Bv Harold Morrison Canadian Press Staff Writer Just five months ago Presi- dent Kennedy pledged with great fervor that the United States never again would agree to an uninspected moratorium on nuclear tests. In effect he said the U.S. would not trust Russia's word: that the U.S. could not afford to allow Russia to gain the ad- vantage of secret test prepara- tions while pretending to agree st ban. ‘ to a te He indicated that before sign- ing any test. ban agreement, not only would the U.S. demand full on-site inspection of unidentified explosions in Russia but also inspection to make sure Russia wasn't secretly preparing to break the agreement with new explosions. STOLE LEAD That was a strong and deter- mined policy adopted against a background of Soviet breach of a three - year test moratorium and discovery by the U.S. that the 1961 Soviet detonation: showed spectacular progress In Russian nuclear technology. Now, suddenly. Kennedy ap- hls posi- tion and watered down his de- mands. Along wlth Prime Min- ister Macmillan, he has offered Rsusia an uninspected ban on testing in the atmosphere, in space and under water — an’ offer that contains some of the elements of a moratorium. with the exception of underground detonations. reaction was “nyet. The curious aspect of the present Anglo-American offer is the question of what caused Kennedy to change his position. And if such an offer could be made now, why couldn't it have been made last spring? The most pertinent point about Kennedy’s March 2 state- ment when he rejected any fur- ther moratorium was that he The initial Soviet was under great political pres» sure at home to resume atmos- pheric testlng. He bowed to that demand. Now the Russians have un- dertaken a second series. car- rying out a threat to test every time the Americans test. DEMAND FULL STOP Meanwhile the non - nuclear powers have maintained their clamor for a halt to all explo alone. The new Western offer in ef- fect-challenged the Russians to agree on a ban of the tests most harmful from the viewpoint of radlatlon—t.hose above ground. In the opinion of the Wash- ington Daily News. the Anglo- American offer was merely a calculated political risk for pro- paganda purposes, based on the expectation that Russia would reject it. Even If the Russians accepted the offer, it says, “there is small chance that such a deal could get past the Senate."

Scotland at present has no national parks in the American sense. England numbers only eight. though it has hundreds of parks administered locally. Lomond has attracted In- creasing numbers of sight-seere since the early 16th century; vacationers now are over- crowding the public recreation areas and camping sites. With the population of nearby Glas- gow growing rapidly, both na- turallsts and citizens are call- ing for national protection of Great Britain's largest fresh- water lake.

Many early travelers came to see the so-called Three Wond- ers — waves without wind, fish without fins. and a floating is- land. Gusts sweeping through glens create waves far out on th e loch without a hint of wind on the shore. The fish were a type of eel that probably abounded in the local waters. The island existed either as floating brush or as one of the 36 gen- uine d which vanished and reappeared as the water level rose and .
