' DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION "for JUNE 11,038 MONDAY, JULY 17, 1950 aril b to Camp Open House On Wednesday of this week the citizens of Oshawa are being given an opportunity to see in full operation one of the city's worthwhile welfare institutions, the Kiwanis Club's camp at Kedron. This year the camp facilities have been given a thorough over- hauling. A splendid new building has been added, to provide additional accommodation for campers, as well as much-needed storage space. The camp grounds have been put in excellent conditions, and the whole layout is one of which the Kiwanis Club can be proud. With this year's improvements completed, the: officers of the Kiwanis Club felt that the people of Oshawa should be invited to go out and inspect the camp, and see 'it in full operation. To many, it would be a new ex- perience. To others who have had camping experiences, it would provide an opportunity of making comparisons with other camps, and we feel quite sure that Kiwanis' Camp will 'not suffer from the comparison. And, with a full quota of boys in attendance at the camp, prepared to demonstrate the nor- mal activities they enjoy, this visit would be an educational outing for all who take advantage of it. - Se 'The citizens of Oshawa, through their patronage of the annual Kiwanis carnival and 'such other events as may be sponsored by the club, make this camp possible. For that reason, it is not only a Kiwanis venture. It is a community project, in which thou- sands of people Share, It is hoped that many of them will visit the camp on Wednesday afternoon' and evening, and see for them- selves the spendid work which is being done with the money they contribute to Kiwanis community service funds. Will Canada Send Troops? - All across Canada, the burning question of the day is whether Canada will send troops to Korea to take part in the fight against Communist aggression. With most of the cabinet on holiday, there has as yet been no indication 'of the government's attitude to the request sent by the executive head of the United Nations for ground forces. But as was pointed out in these -columns the other day, Canada has no great body of train- ed troops available to go to Korea. This question, however, will not be set- tled without the full consent of Parl"ament. The Prime Minister has given an undertak- ing that no further contribution to.the Unit- ed Nations' police force, other than the three destroyers now -in Pacific waters, will- oe made without calling Panliament together to discuss what should be dome. This means some delay before decision can be reached, but if the government intends to senc troops to Korea, that need not be time lost. There is nothing to prevent the government calling on units of the reserve army to fill up their ranks and be prepared to turn active, - It need not be thought that these ground forces have to be in Korea this week or next week. This war is going to last for some months, and it would be quite possible to give intensive training to a substaitial body of men and have it ready for Korean service before the Reds are chased back over their own boundaries. And by that time, there may be further aggression in other areas demanding armed forces, under United Nations authority, for its suppression, Thus it would be quite feasible for the Canadian government, as a definite step to- wards preparedness to meet its international obligation, to call for volunteers and put them into training, so that if Parliament decides that troopsshould be seflt anywhere, they could be made ready anu available with- in a' reasonable length of time, gor could at least, relieve the regular force units and make them available for service anywhere. Ld A Groundless Report We confess to being quite sceptical when we read the report of the Toronto Star that the United States was to start immediately on the St. Lawrence waterway and hydro development project as a war measure. To us it did not seem reasonable that the events in Korea would cause the U.S. administration to make so drastic a departure from the ac- cepted method of handling such a project. We felt that had there been any reasonable chance of the story being true, it would have had 'official backing from the White House. Looking from: the project in the light of its effectiveness as an imimedate war mea- sure, there does not seem to be any reason for thinking it could be of much benefit in the present impasse. The project will take many years to complete. It- would absorb the materials and manpower which, in the event of an early outbreak of war, would be 'required for the armed froces and for war industrial production. And it will be recalled that reasons of manpower and materials were responsible for postponement of im- portant power development projects during the last world .war, including the St. Law- rence Development. For these reasons, it was not surprising that President Truman should deny that there was any intention of going on with this project in the manner in which the To- ronto Star stery indicated. This: was backed up by Hon. L. B. Pearson, Canada's Minister of External Affairs, who stated bluntly that he had not heard of any such plan, and he would probably have been the first man to be consulted, So it would seem that the Star had" presented a rather far-fetched story which had none of the earmarks of authenti- city, and which was promptly disclaimed in official circles. : Editorial Notes One bird which seems to be: quite éxtinct at the present time is the Dove of peace . * TB * Members of Local 222, UAW, must feel that providence is on their side.

(New York Herald Tribune) The native name of Korea means "Morning Calm," but that 600-mile peninsula jutting out from Asia has béen' anything but placid. Legend seys the kingdom was: founded in 1122 B.C. From the dawn of history it has been fought over by Chinese, Russians, Jap- anese. In 1592 the Koreans defeated a Japanese invasion force. Thirty-five years later the Manchur swept down and annexed it to China. In 1871 a United States navy expedition fought Koreans to open the country to: trade, : In 1894-95 the Sino-Japanese. War was fought over Korea, and Japan won predominant influence. The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 was fought partly over Korea, and at the end of the war President Theodore Roosevelt said the: United States would not object to Japanese rule there. Japan formally annex- ed Korea in 1910 and held it until the end of World War II. ? # * 'A DARK PARALLEL (Brantford Expositor) . Analysts see a dark parallel between what hap- pened in Ethiopia and what is now happening in Ko- rea. And that is not the only one they could draw. Russian aggression was well on the way when the Soviet Union quietly "annexed" the little countries of Estonia; Latvia and Lithuania -- and nobody .did anything about it. . : eo A Bit of Verse @ SILVER ; Silver the rain, and silver-green the bough the wind so'shakes that 'only summer's tree could hold it safe.

Looking Around "The World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press News Analyst The offer by India's Prime Minis- ter Nehru to act as mediator in the Korean war isn't surprising, coming as it does from the man who not only is a great exponent of peace but may be headed for the leader- ship of mighty Asia. Nehru has tendered his services to both Washington .and Moscow. Whether he is pursuing fruitful tac- tics remains to be seen. Actually neither the United States nor Russia is technically the right party to whom to address a mediation proposal. Let's not forget that the United States is operating in Korea at the request of the Un- ited Nations, Thus the state depart- ment holds that the U.N. is the "proper forum" for the settlement of the crisis. However, perhaps Nehru took that into consideration and adopted what looked like the practical course of sending his "try message" to the two countries which actually are most deeply involved--the leaderss of the two world blocs. The United States state depart- ment has said flatly that the mini- mum cohduwioil for solution of the crisis is for the North Koreans to quit fighting and withdraw to their own territory. But what of Russia? MoScow fis the one which is waging world re- volition for the spread of Commun= ism. She is sponsoring the Northern Koreans in their assault on their brothers to the South, Is Russia likely to negotiate now? Well, she might do exactly that if she thought she could put across a great bargain. There have been re- ports that the Soviet might be willing to call off the war on terms which would in effect give her con- trol of all Korea, and also get the Chinese. Communists seated in the UN. However, there isn't the slightest indication at this juncture that the United States would be willing to embark on any such risky deal. Korea is strategically important to the Western Powers in their fight to halt the spread of Communism in the far east. Abandonment of the peninsula now would not only weaken the democracies militarily but would have a tremendously-ad- that part of the world. ' All these things being so, the chances for settlement of the Kor- ean imbroglio by mediafion aren't bright. \ Rescuers Seek Five In Burning Lead Mine Lark, Utah, July 17--(AP)--Res- cue crews groped through 400 miles of smoke-filled tunnels today, sed¥ching for five men trapped in a burning lead mine. The men have been missing since early Sunday when fire broke out in the Lark mine of the United States Smelting, Refining and Min- ing Company. They were engaged in mainten- ance operations at the mine, which thas been shut down since July 1 by verse influence on the morale of | workers were unable to determine source of the blaze and location of the men. However, it was believed they may have reached any of a number of fresh air zones in the mine. Some 50 rescue workers, including a number of crews from nearby mines, made repeated attempts yesterday to locate the men but were driven back to the entrances by heavy smoke. Air was pumped into the mine yesterday and fans were started in an effort to clear the main tunnel of smoke, TAJ MAHAL The Taj Mahal at Agra, India, was built by Shah Jehan as a tomb for his wife.

Mac's Musings Of all the speeches Of which we read That were delivered af Orange celebrations On the 12th of July, One contained a sentence That struck us as being The crux of many of Our difficulties today. That speech was made By Hon. W. A. Goodfellow Minister of Welfare In the Ontario Government, And it contained this / Pregnant sentence: "It is not a religious Conflict that faces us Today but rather A lack of religion." In that brief sentence, Mr. Goodfellow struck At the root cause of Many of the difficulties Which beset all mankind - At the present time, We who are nominally Christian people in A Christian nation, That much of the religion Know only too well Of today is merely Lip service to creeds, Which does not find Its concrete and Outward expression In actions that are In keeping with the Christian religion. One can go further and say That a country cannot Be truly Christian when Great masses of its péople Profess Christianity But never practice it, Never enter the doors Of a Christian church To take part in its Services of worship. One sees everywhere A complete indifference To the practices of Religion of any kind, And an inclination to scoff At those who do uphold The Christian way of life, Truly Mr, Goodfellow Struck at the core of Many of our difficultiés And we commend him For his courage in Speaking out so boldly.

All Rights Reserved Brabazon May Fly Channel Crossing By ALAN HARVEY Canawian Press Staff Writer London -- (CP) -- The world's largest airliner may be used to car- ry holiday crowds from London to Paris for as little as £5 (15.50) a passenger. The idea, which so far hasn't got past the suggestion stage, is that the eight-engined, 130-ton Bristol Brabazon I, originally designed to carry 100 persons non-stop from London to New York, should make cross-channel flights instead. Sponsors of the plan argue that since the Brabazon's operating cost is estimated at about £400 an hour, a 200-seater aircraft could charge as little as £5 return and still show a profit. The present minimum for cross-channel trips is about £10. These arguments are expected to be resisted by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, which built the Braba- zon prototype as a kind of "flying laboratory" to discover uncharted secrets of the air, Present plans call for tests to continue another 18 months, when later versions will be built. The Brabazon I has been several years in the building. The project -| will have cost Britain £15,000,000 by 1954. Because of frequent delays in construction, there have been sug- gestions that the Brabazon would turn out to be the white elephant of British aviation. Now the critics aren't so sure. The Brabazon came to London for its first demonstration flights in mid- June, and left a trail of superla- tives behind it. Spectators craned from windows and automobiles pulled to a stop as the mammoth plane, whose cabin looks as big as a subway station, circled over the city. In landing at London Airport, the Brabazon re quired less than half the runway. "She pulled up just like a car," an airport official said. : Although 177 feet long, the plane turned round on the 300-foot.rune way with room to spare. It became airborne again after a run of oniy 25 seconds. "She's indeed a queen of the. air," said Sir Miles Thomas, chairman of the B.O.A.C. Supply Minister George Strauss said the liner looked more beautiful in the air "than any other plane I have ever seen." Viscount Pakenham, Ministér of Civil Aviation, said the demonstra- tion flights marked an historic oc casion, "not only in Britain but in the world." : ® 15 Years Ago.
