"The Liberals could quite easily, 'put an end to it all by agreeing to an over-all in- 'vestigation by Currie of the entire defense department---with no restrictions imposed. Nhat 8 all the government would have to do. The apposition would drop the whole report on the works department: in a min- ute. Then why doesn't the Liberal Party agree to such an investigation. While no one really knows the answer to this important question, it appears to be tied up with the idea or feeling on the "= part ofthe Party that either the Depart- .. Albert Schweitzer, doctor-missionary to the natives of Africa, is one of the world's greatest scholars and an inveterate search- er-after truth. Therefore, in view of the present. crisis that exists between the whites and the blacks in South Africa and the Kenya Colony, it is interesting to read and consider what Schweitzer has to say about this problem. = 2 He emphatically asserts that white peo- ple have no right to rule over the blacks if the purpose of the whites is to use them- and draw material advantage from the country ; however, if the whites are sin- cere in their efforts to educate the blacks and to help them achieve a condition of £ - + 'well-being, then they have the right. He maintains that world trade has made it mandatory for the whites to step in , . . that commerce placed at the disposal of chiefs weapons and money which reduced the natives to a servitude which forced them as slaves to work for the export trade in order to make a few select people rich. "He concludes that if the whites had not stepped in to govern them such conditions would : have grown: progressively : worse. Unfortunately, the whites did make many - mistakes but they are-:learning to avoid them now." He claims: that the basis of relationship of -white to black must be as that of an elder brother to a younger one. This is difficult because it requires a rd ~St. Laurent. nent wouldn't stand up under such 'an ii- vestigation or that Currie isn't to be trust- ed to. do such a job. Whatever the outcome it is quite clear that the whole matter has been very in: expertly handled by the Cabinet and this does not speak well for the leadérship of portant as Claxton tries to make out, then, some conclude, that even in unimportant matters the government is in no position to deal Bdequately with the problems that confront it. There is a growing conviction in the minds of many that Claxton is incapable of handling the defense programme as set forth in the huge budgets it commands. combination of friendliness and authority "in a balance difficult to achieve. "According to Schweitzer the real dif- If the matter is as unim- . ficulty in South Africa and Kenya has --of- _materialistic arisen because the whites have become exhausted in the terrible struggle between the European worker who hears the res- ponsibility and is always in a hurry and the child of nature, the black, who does never in a hurry. The greater the respon- sihility that rests on a white man, the greater, therefore, is the. danger of his .. becoming hard with the native. It is hard, says Schweitzer, to keep oneself really humane, and so to be a standard-. : bearer of civilization in the face of such a contest.

An annoal weed may be a winter an- nual when it starts in the fall and is fortunate in its location or in-a mild season; or it may be a winter annual because it is growing sufficiently far south to survive the somewhat rigor- ous winter on most of the North American continent. An annual is a weed that germinates in thé spring or early summer, grows and reproduces - before winter, dying naturally when caught by autumn frosts. Its progeny, the seeds, is snfely tucked away within seedeonts capable of withstanding - The importance of the seed is attested by its abund- ance, ns compared with other weeds. If the seed can he induced to germinate before winter, or if it can be started early enough in the spring, either frost or the preparation for: spring sown crops will destroy it° while young.' Biennial weeds usually start grow- th early enough in the summer to pro-' vide themselves with a stout tap root, ~ and.a strong rosette of leaves lying on the ground to carry them through the winter and furnish reserve food i" for the flower stem which is quickly The Port Perry Star, is 'published by the Part Perry Office Department, Ottawa. 0) "Mrs. S, Farmer, President.
