DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for JUNE 11,038 THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1950 Going Into Action " Announcement made by Prime Minister St. Laurent that the three Canadian destroy- ers which arrived at Pearl Harbor yesterday are being sent right on to Korea to come ander command of the United Nations means that within a very short time Canadian gailors will be in action in the Korean war. Thus Canada takes her place alongside Brit- ain, the United States, Australia and the Netherlands in supplying armed forces for the conflict which is now in progress. Ganada is bearing at least a share of the burden in carrying out the mandate of the United Nations organization. : Right-thinking Canadians will take some pride in the fact that this country is taking a part in beating back Communist aggres- sion. Membership in the United Nations organization impliés responsibilities which are not to be shirked in time of emergency, and it would have been a matter for reproach had Canada held back from giving what assistance was possible when the call to accept responsibility was made. So far, the sending of three destroyers represents the sum total of Canada's contri- bution. As the Korean war drags on, and one must be reconciled to a long-drawn-out struggle before the Reds are defeated, it may be that Canada will be called upon to make other contributions to the fighting forces of the U.N.O. If that is the case, we feel quite sure that the government will act just as promptly as it has done in ordering its naval contingent into Korean waters, and that it will have the support of the people of Canada in doing so. 0.A.C. Government Announcement of the appointment of an advisory council for the Ontario Agricultural College brings to the fore once again the vexed question of the type of government which should direct the affairs of that institution. This question arises because of the fact that in years past the Ontario Agri- cultural College has had advisory councils, but they have never functioned effectively. After an initial burst of enthusiasm, they have faded away and have become advisory in name only. At present, the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege is administered as a branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. As such, it comes directly under the jurisdiction of the minister who happens to be at the head of the department from time to time. Thus through the years the O.A.C. has been subject to political influences which have been detrimental to its work and progress. Under the present. minister, Hon. T. L. Kennedy, there has been a rebuilding pro- cess, and the college has moved forward in its field. But that rebuilding process was made necessary by the fact that his pre- decessor in office had allowed the college to run down in many departments, because he was not particularly interested in it. : There has for some years been an agitation to have the 0.A.C. placed under a Board of Governors, absolutely independent from the Ontario government, and removed by statute beyond the bounds of political interference. Under such an arrangement, it would either retain its affiliation with the University of Toronto, or it might be established as a separate university, with power to confer its own degrees. The proposal for an indepen- dent Board of Governors has been before the presént government of Ontario on more than one occasion. It was made the basis of special study by a committee appointed by the Minister of Agriculture, but its recom- mendations have been in the pigeon holes at Queen's Park for the last four years. It may be that the government is loath to relinquish - political control of the institution, but the - fact remains that this sound proposal has been shelved. The 0.A.C. is a great institution, and should not be exposed to the varying whims of successive ministers of agriculture, who are bound to look at things through political spectacles. The time has come when a mere honorary advisory council will not do the job which could be done were it under a separate Board of Governors, divorced entirely from the government of the day. To Bring The News The report that two newspaper corres- pondents have been killed in the front lines of the Korean war serves to emphasize the thoroughness with which the press of the democratic countries seeks to bring the news to the homes of its readers. Wherever there are important news events, reporters are there to record them for the information of the public. No matter what risks or perils have to be run, the newspaper correspondent has only one thought in mind, to give his readers an accurate and prompt service of news in the area to which he has been as- signed. The newspaper and press service corres- pondents who are covering the war area in Korea are taking exactly the same chances as are the soldiers who are doing the fight- ing. It was so in the first and second world wars, in which many men of the newspaper world, both reporters and photographers, lost their lives in the performance of their duty to the public. It is not easy, when reading stories in cold print on newspaper pages, to realize the efforts that have had to be put forth to secure the facts, write the stories, transmit them by telephone to Tokyo, and then have them distributed across the world by radio and telegragh, so that they appear in print within an amazingly short space of time after the events have actually happened. All credit is due to the newspaper men who are daily risking their lives to bring truth to the people of the free nations. They serve a great purpose in the democratic world, for they show that a free press is not afraid to print the truth, no matter how un- palatable it might be. And if they lose their lives in the carrying out of their tasks, they have made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of democracy no less than the soldier who falls in battle.

Po "Peace" Movement In Korea 4c = --Fitzpatrick, in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch Z ---Helen McDowell. Looking Around The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst Herbert Hoover, former President of the United States, has returned to his advocacy of the scrapping of the United Nations organization and the establishment of a new one with the Communist countries shut out, He first broached this idea in a speech last April 27 in New York. His new approach to the subject was made in an address at the dedi- cation of a memorial in Emporia, | pa Kan, to the late Willlam Allen White, noted Emporia editor. Hoover said his proposal was "un- animously and loudly denounced" by the state department and by U.N. officials. He dec'"rc' that Korean developments dewuow. trate the * evitable necessity" of his program. Th non-Communist world, said Hoover, is faced with three possible courses if if would have peace. They are: 1. "Shall it go to war to wipe Communism from the face of the earth? My answer is 'No"." That undoubtedly would be the consensus of observers, as I see it. As a matter of fact you can't kill an ideology by war, unless you wipe out every mother's son who fancies it. The only way to counter an ideology is by representing a better ideology. 2. "Should we return to the illu- sion that the Kremlin has chang- ed its gospel and will- work for world peace through the United Nations? That would seem futile." One of the cardinal tenets of Communism is that the ideology MUST be spread by revolutionary force. The establishment of a Red government MUST be accompanied by an upheaval, to impress the pro- letariat, There hasn't been the slightest indication of any change in the Kremlin's program. And all Mos- cow's relations with the U.N., have been calculated to further Com- munist. aims. 3. "Shall we try to build the Un- ited Nations so as to confine Com- munism to the peoples already en- slaved, estop military aggression and trust to time for this evil to abate? My answer is yes!" In this third alternative is the highly-controversial idea of reor- ganizing the U.N. so as to exclude the Reds and confine it to the de- mocracies, That would be recogni- tion of the fact that, to all intents and purposes, we already are divid- ed into two worlds--Democracy and Communism, The ideal of one world is a long, long way off. Having taken this drastic step we should, I judge, continue to block the advance of Communism through aggression by defending victims like Whitehall Notebook By ALAN HARVEY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, July 13 -- (CP) -- A newspaper headline -- "Tories Bay for War"--drew Winston Churchill's wrath during a parliamentary de- bate on Korea. Churchill said the headline ap- peared over an article written by Tom Driberg, Labor Member of Parliament for Maldon, Essex. The article appeared in Reynolds News, a Sunday newspaper, and read- in rt: "There is quite a substantial num- ber of back-bench Tories who, true to their jungle philosophy, cannot help baying their delight at the smell of blood in the air." Driberg, 43-year-old member of the Labor Party National Execu- tive and a veteran Fleet Street journalist, referred to a scene which occurred in the House of Commons following Prime Minister ~Attlee's announcement that the United States had decided to intervene in Korea, Churchill spoke in the Korean de- bate 'which followed a week after Attle's announcement. The Con- servative leader said the reason which led to the Conservative cheers was not lust for blood but support for the Premier's declar- ation -- a support which contrasted with a "curious" silence from some parts of the Labor bench. Stands by Text Churchill said he understood that Driberg was not responsible for the headline, "Tories Bay for War," but only for the text. At this point the Conservative leader gave way to Driberg who made a short per- sonal statement. "May I just say here and now," the Labor member said, "that I consider that (text) a perfectly cor: red description of a scene in the House last week, and I only wish the Right Honorable Gentlemen could have seen it before the editor toned it down and modified it." This caused an uproar on the Conservative benches. Cries of "Shame, Shame" were heard from the massed ranks behind Churchill, Southern Korea with military force. That would be costly but feasible. The democracies--if they stand to- gether--have the balance of power economically and militarily, It is well known that many of the Red satellites are being kept in line by force. There are indications that they would' welcome a chance to es- cape and resume their indepen- dence. If the Communist bloc is iso- lated it is likely in due course to wither on the vine. There are many students of the situation who hold that belief. Westinghouse Gombts DELUXE THE MODERN 3-WAY PORTABLE Take it with you--wherever you go! Enjoy your favorite pro summer!

Clark in his column In that newspaper, and In which he starts off With the sentence, "The best hope for peace Is the known fact that The ordinary people 'Want peace." He is quite correct In his assumption that The ordinary people of 'The world want peace, But the great difficulty In maintaining peace Is that of making The will of the Ordinary people prevail. In South Korea today There are millions |, Of ordinary people Who wanted only peace, Who had no desire to be Embroiled in war, And yet their homes And their countryside Is being devastated because A man sitting in the Kremlin at Moscow Decrees that his Puppets should attack . Their country. It is never the ordinary People who make war, Because they stand to lose The most when it comes; We know, you and I, That we as some of The ordinary folks, Abhor war, but yet We may be compelled To participate in another More deadly war than ever By incidents that are Quite beyond control.
