Looking Around The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst This column rarely uses the term "desperate" in describing a situa- tion, because that word implies hopelessness. But the position in Ching has deteriorated to a point which certainly is crowding desper- ation. i: That unhappy land, housing close to one-quarter of the globe's population, has sunk so deep in the chaos of civil war and economic col- lapse that ho man can predict her fate. The question of whether General- issimo Chiang Kai-Shek can main- tain his Nationalist government and defeat of the red rebellion is a mat- ter of anxious speculation. The Chinese Communists, having overrun strategic Manchuria, now are driving southward in China. The great northern metropolis Peiping, spiritual capital of the country, is in a state of panic--a city of doom. The Communists continue their drive toward Suchow, the last north- ern gateway to Chiang's capital, Nanking. Meantime the economic situation has worsened. Deeply Concerned Small wonder that officials in Washington are deeply: concerned. Small wonder that there should be speculation whether the Generalis- simo's government can triumph over the Communists. As for Chiang, he gives the im- pression of having doubts of suc- cess. He has called on his followers to prepare for eight more years of war against the Chinese Commun- ists, thus tacitly admitting that it is a long, tough job, but he main- tains an air of confidence. He de- clares that peace can only be at- tained by destroying the Commun- ists throughout China.

Dear Sir: In my young days in Kent, Eng- land, it was the custom to ap- preciate boys of fourteen and up to a good tradesman, to learn the trade of their choice, taking out .| their indentures to join them. My brothers, one a carpenter and the other an engine fitter, both served seven years with a small weekly wage, living at home, but they knew their trades and worked at them all their lives. My husband has his indentures here now. For some trades they served fewer years, but they were learning all the time and getting better money as time went on and they were of more use. True, we came to Canada, but my husband brought a good trade with him, and isn't that something? When my boys were younger, I wished apprenticeship were the custom here, as under it boys do learn and they"turn.out to be good workmen, and able to do the jobs | required. I do not see that Mr. Hammond's views are wrong, as we all know that he is a better work- man who has given time to learn- ing his job. I also wish to say that boys would be better bound and learning a trade than what some: are doing sign new. aircraft, with the pre- liminary work being done in Eng- land, Mr. Hibbert estimated that, without about 30 engineers, "we could turn out a new plane in 15 months" under that arrangement.

One advantage of the horn, of course, is that it leaves no droppings.

Eire News Letter By MICHAEL O'MARA Canadian Press Staff Writer Dublin, Nov. 9 (CP).--Eire has an | agricultural program cut and dried | to employ effectively every acre of arable land in the country should war come again to Europe. Agriculture Minister Dillon told farming students about the scheme when he visited Ballyhaise Agricul- tural College in county Cavan recently. gi "If the cominform succeeds in disrupting international peace," he said, "Every citizen will be required to hold himself at the disposal of the community to help in minimiz- ing hardships of war conditions and the farmer will be required to 'carry out duties assigned to them." Output Lower Meantime, however, falling agri- cultural output worries the govern- ment. ; A recently-published review shows Eire"s farm output in 1947 was £112,659,000 ($450,636,000)--an in- crease of 168 per cent compared with 1939. But only 20 per cent of output was exported last year com- pared with 38 per cent in the last pre-war 12 months, Dillon himself says: "The fertil- gree of degradation lower than has been known for 100 years." | Tired Land | Reasons for Eire's present agii- | cultural shortcomings are, roughly, three-fold: 1. Much of the land, worked for | centuries often by backward and | short-sighted 'methods, is at least | temporarily "worked out." 2.

And they are taking advantage of | it. | Two years ago leading - British antiquaries created a fund which | paid for the first year's work. Archaeologists penetrated to the level of Roman occupation--now buried to an average depth of 16 feet below the modern streets, Digging trenches at various care- fully chosen positions they cut through the confused upper accu- mulations of post-Roman London right down to virgin soil. Leading antiquarians say, how- ever, that little more than nega- tive information was gained, and it will be necessary to cut a "long exploratory trench" before the posi- tions of Roman streets and build- ings can be determined. Before the trench can be cut more funds will be needed. "If the first four centuries of London's history are to be ade- quately explored, the task must be a national-even an international-- one," said Antiquarian Gordon Hume. h "A good many thousands of pounds must be spent if the op- portunity is not to be wasted be- fore rebuilding begins." Antiquarians point out that the massive brick and concrete blocking the way of archaeologists will in- evitably have to be moved by the contractors of tomorrow, so that the cost of drilling and removing would not be wasted even from a utilitarian viewpoint. "Until the middle of the last century," Hume said, "Little was known of Roman London. So few were aware of the citys Roman origin that next to no interest was taken in the chance discoveries of Victorian times." ! ® 30 Years Ago Oshawa had a celebration for a of an armistice on of the real armistice, which brought World War I to a close.
