DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for AUGUST 10,408 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1950 wl---- Press Amert- ak L ot Not Encouraging The lack of public intere$i shown in the .drumhead service held on Sunday afternoon by the Ontario Regiment and 29th Technical Squadron, R.C.E.M.E., must have been very disappointing to the officers and mem- bers of these two local reserve army units, It might have been expected, on such an occasion, that Memorial Park would have been crowded with citizens anxious to take part in this Army Week demonstration of the two Oshawa regiments. Unfortunately, exactly the reverse was the case, and the numbers of citizens who joined in the service could almost have been counted on the firlgers of two hands. It is decidedly discouraging to the officers who spend so much of their time to build up their regiments, and to the men who devote their leisure hours to training for the de- fence of their country, should need arise, to find the general public so apathetic to their efforts. It was not always so. There have been occasions when the citizens have rallied to the support of their representatives of the armed forces. In time of need, such as in the two world wars, the people of the community were always ready to show their interest in the armed forces. One has only to recall the tremendous reception given to the officers and men of the Ontario Regi- ment when they returned from World War II to realize the great lapse in public sup- port and sympathy which has taken place since then. These are serious days for the world. They are days in which all of us must be. prepared to meet the threat of war, and to shoulder some of the responsibilities which will have to be carried should war come. The officers and men of our two regiments are today ac- cepting their share of the burden by prepar- ing for active service. Surely it is little enough that the public generally should show that they have some appreciation of the sac- rifices these men are making now by turn- ing out and joining in such a service as was held on Sunday afternoon. A Wave Of Development The magnitude of the contribution which is being made to the economy of Canada by the expansion of oil developments in Wes- tern Canada is becoming apparent in an- nouncements which have been made in re- cent years. Not only are new wells coming into production at a remarkable rate, but a Canadian pipe-line is being completed to bring oil from the Alberta fields to Eastern Canada. Already. a large section of the pipe- line is complete and in operation. The effect of this will be felt in many parts of the Dominion, and particularly in Ontario. News of recent days tells of great plans for expansion of the facilities at Sar- nia for the refining of the crude oil which will be coming from Alberta. The Imperial Oil Company is planning to spent $10,000,- 000 to increase the storage capacity of its Sarnia plant by 8,000,000 gallons. Cana- dian Oil Refineries has announced an im- mediate start on a new $18,000,000 oil re- finery on the outskirts of Sarnia. The Poly- mer Corporation, which manufactures syn- thetic rubber as a by-product of the oil in- dustry, is planning to increase its facilities by spending $6,800,000 on additional plant. These are great developments. When the pipe-line is completed to the head of the lakes, there will be need for a great fleet of oil tankers to bring the crude oil down to Sarnia by water, thus increasing lake shipping in a very appreciable way. The effects of this oil development on the economy of Canada will be far-reaching. In due time, this country will be able to supply all of its own needs for oil products, including gasoline, and the manpcwer that will be required to service this industry will be considerable. On top of that, the neces- sity -of paying for gasoline supplies in American dollars will cease, with beneficial effects on Canada's exchange position. From every standpoint, it looks as if oil is going to play an ever-increasing part in the cred- tion of a sound and stable economy in this country. Drew Was Right The anouncement that Dr. Leopold Infeld, University of Toronto professor allowed to visit his Polish homeland last spring, had decided to remain there, has created some- what of a flurry in political circles in Cana- da. It will be recalled that when Dr. Infeld was seeking a passport to revisit Poland in the spring, George A. Drew, opposition lead- er in the House of Commons, raised strong 'objections. He took the view that since Dr. Infeld could be classed as a nucl®r scien- tist, familiar with at least some phases of Canada's atomic energy devlopments, it would be dangerous to allow him to go to Poland, a satellite of Soviet Russia. At that time, Mr. Drew was somewhat severely criticized for taking that view, and elaborate statements were made as to the innocence of Dr. Infeld's desire to pay a visit to his native country. Mr. Drew stuck to his guns, however, and went so far as to sug- gest that Dr. Infeld was being ordered back to Poland by its Communist leaders. From the information now available, it appears that Mr. Drew was to at least some extent justified in his criticisms, and was fight in his conclusions. It is now revealed that Dr. Infeld, if not an active Communist, was at least a consistent fellow-traveler, and that has wife was an avowed and militant Communist. Further, it has been made known that before returning to Poland, Dr. Infeld had sold his home in Toronto. That rather makes it appear that he was burning his bridges behind him before he left. Even if it is correct, as has been asserted, that Dr. Infeld carried no atomic energy secrets with him, hé had been sufficiently close to the work being done that a man of his unusual ability as a scientist might very well have carried in his brain information that would be valuable to the Soviet Union. And that might very well to the reason why he is being retained in Poland to continue his scientific work on behalf of his Communist masters.

R. Mutchmoor is quoted as say- ing: "We must challenge our own conception of so- cial honesty and not think it smug or clever to beat the government; it is just as dishonest to steal from Ottawa as to steal from our next door neighbour." This is true; the honesty and decency of a people in matters of taxation, as well as in matters of business honesty, is vital to national good character. We quite agree with Dr. Mutchmor on this subject; the tax-chiseller is a contemptible creature. ° A Bit of Verse ® BROTHER CANARY Little gold bird in your cage, Tell me how is it. with you?

Across Our Economic 38th Parallel { Looking Around The World By DEWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press Ntws Analyst Support is mounting among the democracies for the U.S. proposal that every United Nations member maintain a special unit in its army subject to call by the U.N., for en- forcement of peace. This amounts to creation of a United Nations army which, in its totality, would be a powerful mili- tary machine. It would provide the strength to make the peace organ- ization fully effective. Without this the U.N. must be impotent in the face of any crisis which could only be dealt with by force, The Korean War is a fair illus- tration of the point. Gen. Omar Bradley, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs-or-Staff, said the other day that this campaign has become one of the most significant in all military history "because it marks the birth of a new power in the world: "Armed action by the United Nations." Powerless When Korea was invaded from the north, the U.N. was powerless --in its own strength--to intervene. It appealed for intervention by its members under the U.N. flag, and the U.S. went into action, soon fol- lowed by others. Had any country intervened in Korea without sponsorship of the U.N., it likely would have precipj- tated a major war. As it is, success of the UN. volunteer forces has been so sweeping that their victory in South Korea seems assured. Moreover, while potentialities still are dangerous, well informed American officials express the be- lief that Moscow is getting set to dismiss the Korean affair with a shrug of the shoulders as a minor matter. To this apprisal one might add that Russia isn't turning away empty handed, because a further economic load has been heaped on the U.S. That is an integral part of Soviet strategy in its cold war against the west. Friendly Coincident with this apparent display of apathy by Russia to- wards the Korean show, there is another interesting phenomenon. The Muscovite representatives at the United Nations have adopted an amazingly mild and even friendly policy towards the Wes- tern representatives. Peace is in the air. Typical of this tendency was a statement in New York yesterday by the fiery-tongued Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, Jacob A. Malik, to a Baltimore delegation, describ- ed as the Maryland Committee for Peace. He said he favored a meet- ing between the top leaders of the United States and Russia to nego- tiate their differences and help achieve full peace. It was presum- ed he was talking about President Truman and Prime Minister Stalin. Another Blow Some observers interpret this soft talk as indicating Moscow is pre- paring for another blow, similar to that in Korea. This would be a continuation of the strategy of weakening the U.S. and other Western powers by economic attri- tion, Where will the blow come? The danger spots include Indonesia and Burma. There even has been talk of an attack on Western Germany with the people's police of East Germany, New Highway Will By-Pass Deseronto Belleville, Sept. 26.--Construction of an eight-mile stretch of devel- opment road from Marysville to Napanee on No. 2 Highway, will commence this fall, it has been an- nounced by Campbell Fraser, King- ston, divisional engineer of the De- partment of Highways, Mr. Fraser said the road was de- signed to eliminate the southern trend of No. 2 Highway which swings south at Marysville through Deseronto, and cut out curves. It will reduce the highway distance between Belleville and Kingston by about six miles, it was stated. The piece of road to be constructed is wnat known as the "Old Belleville Road" and will mean the by-pass- ing of Deseronto.

The outward expression is mere- ly the mirror of the inner, which is the Spirit (Soul). We humans are made up of spirit, mind and body: spirit and body are con- trolled by mind. Peace is a neces- cary food for spiritual entity just - Mac's Musings Some folks are trying To scare us into There is going to be A very severe winter . Because the beech trees Are bearing an unusually Heavy crop of nuts Throughout the province. LJ Amateur weather prophets Seem to think there is Some reason for foreboding In the fact that there Are s0 many nuts On the beech trees At this season, But we are afraid Their reasoning. is . Quite out of gear, Because these heavy crops Have nothing to do With the weather that Will come in winter, The plain fact is That this year most trees Are seeding very heavily, Not because of fear Of a stormy winter, But simply because Ontario has experienced More rainfall than usual During the past summer, And there have been no Prolonged heat spells To cause the seeds And nuts to drop. So the idea that the nuts On the trees can be Regarded as a sign Of the coming weather Is thereby 'exploded, Even although that means Exploding the pet ideas Of the amateur forecasters, Perhaps we may have A severe winter, and again It may be a mild one, But Canadian weather Being what it is, We can at least depend Thete will be plenty Of snow and frosty weather And we will still need To stoke the furnaces And wear long underwear To combat the cold. as produce of the soil is r ry for the nourishment of the body. If this basic starvation of the Soul (Spirit) were remedied, there would be no hunger of body to any nation. Avarice and greed would be overcome. Peace Conference after Peace Conference has been held since the early 1800's; as far back as 1849 Victor Hugo suggested a Unit- ed States of Europe; as recently as 1929 a World Court was estab- lished in conjunction with the League of Nations as a tribunal for the purpose of rendering decis- ions in international disputes. The fifteen judges of that World Court were each elected for a nine-year term; the end of that nine-year term brought us to 1938, and an- other war at our doors. With due respect to all who took part in any and all these aims for peace, the fact remains that a few representatives of any nation or nations at Peace Conferences, World Courts, or any pact cannot alone accomplish the desired re- sult. Peace as a lasting entity can be attained only when all peoples of all nations embody in themselv- es the basic principles of peace. These principles must be estab- lished in right thinking. Thoughts of purity result in intellectual clearness, joy, invincible confidence. Humility brings calmness, restful- ness, knowledge of Truth. The right mental condition of compas- sion and good-will results in love and reverance from others and gladness and success for all. It is the spbken word that gov erns for good or ill throughout the whole wide world. We have many in our language of the same spell- ing yet of different meaning; we have colloquial sayings which, when analysed, mean something en- tirely different in another coun- try. Great care should be taken in offering or giving advice to na- tions of different habits, customs and languages. Peace and good- will have the same meaning in any language. Let us not forget that all man to be will be one people |: 'ere man's race is run, There fis much "food for thought" in Sir Walter Scott's lines: "Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said This is my own my native land." And so, we find in all nations who may be overwhelmed in bat- tle, there is that indomitable something inside of each individu- al which says "you still have not got my soul". The answer to the hunger-cry for Peace is "PRAYER". Let us have Mass Prayer Meetings during the week, forgetting for that mo- ment the secular creeds which may divide us into various cults on our regular Sunday of Worship. The necessity of Prayer for the survival of civilization is clearly outlined in Lord Tennyson's: things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Where- fore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheep or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they hands of prayer Both for themselves and who call them friends? For so the whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God." Because "the earth hath made her state forlorn with self-wrought evils of unnumbered years", for our very survival we must awaken from indifference and mental lethargy. Let us dedicate ourselv- es NOW to PRAY without ceasing lift not those until Peace is attained; then let) us continue to pray in deepest gratitude and joyful thankgiving eo esure a world of prosperity and Peace everlasting.
