Caiia- dians have had a close-up view of such op- erations and events in Australia remind us that the leopard has not changed his spots. From one point of view the incident has considerable value. It has long been a diffi- culty about negotiating with Russians that a willingness to make concessions in seeking agreement is invariably taken as a sign of weakness. Instead of being met with .1 similar readiness to.come halfway. it seems to be a signal for Soviet i'epi'eseutati\‘es to take a quite impossible stand on whatever question is being discussed. At the present time the nations of the free world and pai'ticulai'l_v Britain, are in- dicating their willingness to give and take in the interest of arriving at a workable solu- tion to the complex problems of Korea and the Far East generally. There is a very serious danger that once again the Russians will assume that a willingness to negotiate reflects an inability to resist any and all demands that the Communists may make. The forthright action of Prime Minister Churchill in demanding the immediate re- call of the diplomats guilty of undiplomatic conduct should serve notice on the Kremlin that Britain, at least, is not in the mood to play the doormat. The offers of conces- sions are made as a responsible Government seeking the best possible solution to inter- national problems and not in any sense as a propitiary gesture prompted by weakness. ~R;l_tlii:ln Lottm Top Communist strategists have hit upon a fad of earlier decades in their drive to halt, tests of the hydrogen bomb in the western world. A campaign now is under- way in the United States to build up thou- sands of chain letters, addressed to Presi- dent Eisenhower. Names are chosen at random and each person is asked to get five others to write letters. Mimeographed copies of proposed letters have been dis- tributed to Communist agents and the con- cluding sentence says: "This action might save you and your child." Reporting the strategy, the New York Herald Tribune says the letter-writing fits in with similar moves in Britain and Franco. It adds that the value to Communists of such a campaign is threefold: it is com- paratively inexpensive, produces a large quantity of letters and usually manages to get the backing of well-meaning persons uii- wittingly misled by intermediaries. As the drive builds up, the real sources of the activ- ity become concealed. It is significant that Communist-inspired petitions are never directed against Russian lcaders——men who have consistently refus- ed to co-operate with the West in inter- national control of nuclear energy. The uniformity of argument in these petitions is. of course, cnough to create suspicion, but even chain letters recognized for what they are make an impression by the very fact of their quantity. It is quite possible. notes an exchange. that the letter campaign will spill over into Canada. If it does, it would be well for Canadians to recognize the spurious char- acter of this scheme. Fmlsn Trail: The need for ii more efficient cost-pricc structure in order to make Canadian goods competitive in foreign and domestic mar- kets, says the Commercial Letter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, is likely to become more urgent in the months ahead if Canadal: to retain her relative place in world trade and maintain a sound interna- tional financial position. The year 1953 saw a reversal of the favourable balance in merchandise trade experienced in 1952. Largely responsible were the efforts of soft currency areas to minimize dollar purchases. a high level of domeatlc consumer demand which sharply increased Import: and stiff competition en- countered by Canadian exporters in foreign markets. Increased lmporés of machinery, automobiles. other iron an steel products, woo'd Ind paper product: and chemical: re- flectedmopt significantly the high level of ainduetrlfl activity and investment. fl‘. l_oond_ aucceesive year Cana- floyexoh travel outside Canada than was spent by foreigners in Canada. Also adding to the current account deficit. were heavy payments of interes: and divi- dends on foreign capital invested in Canada. However the total current account deficit amounting to about $467 million was offset by heavy direct investment in Canada. The outlook for trade still appears un- certain. Although there has been some ini- provement in sterling area dollar reserves there is no prospect of an early return to convertibility. Much of the hope for event- ual convertibility and a sound financial position in the sterling area rests on a high level of trade with the United States and on United State: foreign policy. If the recommendations made by the Commission on Foreign Economic Policy (“Randall Com- mission") are realized they will be in some measure a step toward a more liberal trade policy, but the slow and gradual process is not likely to lead to any large immediate increase in purchases of foreign goods by tho llnited States. compensation To Maritime: It is to be hoped that more will be heard from our representatives at Ottawa on a subject touched upon recently in the House of Commons by Mr. "A. J. Brooks. There is soundness. comments the Moncton 'l‘ranscript, ‘in Mr. Brooks’ contention that the Maritimes should receive some compen- ,r sation now that northern Quebec and On- tario and the western provinces are deriv- ing tremendous wealth from the develop- ment of natural resources. It should be re- membered that the Maritime Provinces con- tributed to the purchase of vast regions from the Hudson Bay Company at the time of Confederation. Mr. Brooks reminded his audience both inside and outside the Com- mons that in 1908 Manitoba and Saskatch- ewan were carved out of‘ lands purchased at Confederation and in 1912 the boundaries of Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario were ex- tended to include the northern sections of what is now within these provinces. In view of the fact that New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia—two of the original provinces of Confederation—and Prince Edward Island, cannot be extended terri- torially, it seems no more than justice that they should receive compensation in some other form. At the present time plans are underway to pipe gas and oil from the western provinces to Eastern Canada—but not to the Maritimes. The Dominion will bear considerable of this cost, no doubt, to which the Maritimes will contribute. Neith- er will the Maritime Provinces receive any electrical power from the development of hydro resources in central Canada and northern Quebec, or direct benefit from the proposed St. Lawrence Seaway.

Frenchmen. and. of course. the Japanese themselves. were calling Admiral Togo’s victory the “great- est naval triumph :lncc Trafal- gar". C C 0 How did this great victory come about? Well, Baron Kaneko ex- plained it tlu: way: "From the day of the Mongolian defeat (624 year: before) the Japanese people. moved by the union of loyalty. de- votion, and spirit that we call "Bushldo"—the soul of Japan- have given themselves not only to the development of their military and naval strength but to the de- velopment also of strength and individual and national character". What. would be the long-term cf- lccl. of 'I‘0g0'5 victory? "A: Nel- son. in fighting to save England at Trafalgar. aaved Europe from Napoleonic military de:poti:m. and preserved free government. :0 Togo, 100 year: late, fighting to save Japan, saved Asia from Mus- covite niilitary despotism. and es- tablished the world‘: peace on a pure foundation". Not only the Eut. but Europe alao, would profit immeasurably. "With Russia dwarfing day by day in international importance, and with France and England on terms of cordial underatandlngthe peace of Eiuope 1: :afer than it has been for many A year". The Pacific, according to the Baron, waa to be divided into "sphere: of control" among Eng- land, the United States, and Ja- pan. Thl: i: how he had it figured out: "Rusaia has been eliminated: France and Germany dare not send their atronger squadron: fat afield; England is still what she was when she lost Nelson— the inlstresn of the North Atlantic, of the Mediterranean. and of the Indian Ocean.
