THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1948 Not A New Idea Robert H. Saunders, chairman of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of On- tario, aroused some interested comment when he said the other day that the Com- mission was considering having ships of the Canadian Navy brought into harbours along the shore of Lake Ontario to generate in assessing the situation in which the world finds itself today as Russia spreads her communist tentacles all over the globe. Mr. Bevan might have gone further and pointed out that, in spite of the grandilo- quent claims of its protagonists regarding its democracy, Russia is not a democratic country in any sense of the word. It is a 'totalitarian dictatorship, just as cruel and autocratic as any which existed under the rule of the czars of old, and much more dangerous because it is led by men who see before them visions of world domination. That is something to which the old czars never aspired. That is why it is so difficult to secure Russian co-operation in any sound schemes to ensure world peace and amity. Her leaders are under no obligation to submit their policies to the will of their people, as is the case in the true democracies, and so they go brutally forward on their course which is imposing on the world the threat of another war which none of the masses of the people in any country, including Russia, 'want.

This is not a new idea. Once before, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of On- tario toyed with the same idea. That was back in 1935, when the Quebec power con- in accessible areas, but it is hoped tracts were cancelled by the Hepburn Gov- ernment, and there was grave fear of a power shortage. Hon. Arthur Roebuck, then a member of the Commission repre- senting the Government, testified at a Hydro Inquiry held in 1938 that three years before plans had been made for gen- erating power from steamships in the harbours at Kingston and Toronto to bolster up the situation should a sortage develop. Further, there were also plans for securing the use of railway locomotives, placing them on sidings in areas of power shortage and using them to generate energy to make up the leeway. While these plans were made, they were not put into effect because new arrangements were made with the "Quebec power companies. Sp Mr. Saunders' suggestion is by no means new, although it is decidedly in- teresting. Riding Their Own Hobby It is typical of organizations devoted to a definite specific object that they are apt to develop one-track minds, and ride their own hobby to the limit, regardless of what the effects might be on other groups of the population. An instance of this which might be amusing if it were not intended to be taken seriously is noticed in the pro- ceedings of the third Dominion-Provincial tourist conference, attended by the heads of the tourist branches of the dominion and provincial governments. Their one interest, of course, is to bring more tourists to. Canada, a very laudable objective. The tourist traffic is of great importance and value to Canada, but some of the suggestions made for increasing it were rather naive to come from responsible government officials. Here are some of them: That Labour Day be moved from the first Monday in September to the third Monday, in order to lengthen the tourist season. That colleges and universities close earlier in the spring and open later in the fall, so as to make student help available to tourist resorts for a longer period. That Canadian golf courses be made easier to play, so that an Amerigan who takes 100 strokes on his home course can shoot a 75 or 80 in Canada. That retired constables be hired and dressed in R.C.M.P. uniforms at provincial tourist reception centres, because of the glamour of the uniform. We are all for encouraging and develop- ing tourist trade, but we do not think it should be done to the detriment of educa- tion, or by trying to deceive the American golfer into thinking that he is 25 per cent better than he really is. But these sugges- tions are cited to show what happens when men bécome so enthusiastic over their own job that they are apt to lose their sense of perspective, Not A Democracy British Foreign Minister Ernest Bevan gaid something which needed to be said when he told the House of Commons that Russi of today is siiii imperiaiistic--still #¢ imperialistic as Ivan the Terrible, Fred- &vick the Great or Alexander.

From the appearance of Hitler to the outbreak of war the Soviets were fiercely opposed to Germany. The 'two governments fulminated against each other, for years in such terms as "Bolshevik, Mongolian savages," and similar pleasantries. The Nazis stroyed their communists; the Reds, by deed and Word, were openly hostile to everything German. Magic Change Yet, in 1939, Russia swddenly signed a non-aggression treaty with Germany. Magically, overnight, the two governments became "friendly." Do you remember the amazing circumlocutions and mental acro- batics performed by Canadian and American communist leaders in trying to explain this to the shock- ed and bewildered brethren? What they couldn't say, by way of explanation, was this: That, at that moment, Communist Party policy, with its line and its way to the "plain" foreign policy, which had, as its objective, mili- tary security. The Kremlin saw a war coming. Sooner or later, the German hordes would be turned on Russia. The Red army wasn't ready, then. Another Switch Then, in 1940, Germany attacked Russia, as the Kremlin had fore- seen. Russia suddenly found her- self "allied" with some other filthy capitalists. But was she? Not ac- cording to Eugene Varga, a Soviet political expert. He wrote: "The fact that the Soviet Union and highly developed capitalist states were in the same camp against Fascist aggression meant that the struggle of the two sys- tems was relaxed and temporarily that the struggle was ended." As of today, it is the Communist Party policy which shapes and directs Russian foreign policy.

The leaves hear autumn's call. And chanting a soft, sweét hymn they fall, They flutter as wounded butterflies, That drop to the ground from cooling skies. Beyond the meadows, over the dale, Toys of the wind, they spread their sail, And sometimes 'float where the waters ride Ships all crimson and flame inside. The autumn days are a soft lullaby, Sad is the tune, that breathes in the sigh, The falling leavés sing a chant we hear The vesper song when twilight's near.
