Such tactics have been tried so often, however, that no one is fooled in the least by them, and with each rebuff of their proposals to get together to promote peace between east and west, the democracies stiffen their determination to hen themselves 86 as to improve their ' negotiating position. "Phere are some slight indications, how- ever, that a policy of patience and continued effort might in the long run prove effective. Some of these were seen in the latest Rus- sian reply to peace proposals from the Big Three of the western powers. There was not the outright rejection with which they have become familiar during the progress of the cold war, Rather was there the setting up of alternative proposals as a basis for. dis. cussion, That is helpful. Both Russia and he democracies are favorably disposed to- wards a full scale disarmament conference, and certainly nothing should be done to close the door to such an event. ; It may be said that the democracies have already shown great patience in-their deal ings with Russia. That is true, but it can be pointed out that at least this has pre- vented the cold war from turning into an all-out shooting war, which nobody, not even Russia, wants, If by their further patience, and by persistence in their efforts the wes- tern powers can finally convince Russia that they desire only the peace of the world and relief from the crushing burdens of disarma- ment, we may yet be spared all the horrors of a third world war. Over-Taxation In a scathing article, under the heading "We're Being Robbed" by Austin Cross, the New Liberty magazine makes out a strong case to support its claim that the peoble of Canada are being over-taxed to the extent of a billion dollars a year. The article sup- ports that claim by convincing factual evi- dence that before the present fiscal year is over, the federal government's surplus will be well over the billion dollar mark. Up to the end of October, it had reached a figure of 804 million dollars, as compared with an estimate of a surplus for the whole year of 30 million dollars, made in the 1951 budget. There are two reasons for this huge, un- budgetted surplus which may rise to over a billion dollars. The revenuessof the govern. ment have been far greater than were esti- mated in the budget. And, on the other hand, the defence expenditures have not come anywhere near the amount that was proposed in the budget, The defence ex- penditures have not reached "anything like the figure that was anticipated, because the program has been very slow in getting under way. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of and ranges, and other household equipment, what the government classifies as luxuries have become necessities of life. The auto- mobile is very definitely a necessity, not only for individuals, but to the whole national economy. Yet a car which in 1939 carried taxes amounting to $65, today has direct taxes of $525 levied against it. That | is only one instance of the unnecessarily high taxes which are piling up that billion dollar surplus. My. Abbott, the finance minister, may take pride In this kind of financing. It is our view, however, that the article in the New Liberty magazine is fully justified, and that it is all wrong for the government to take from the people in taxes so much more money than it needs to carry on its business.

Perhaps he should go to Moscow to try to persuade Joe Stalin that this is the incontrovertible truth. ® Other Editors' Views o SOMETIMES EMBARRASSING (Port Arthur News-Chroncile) The most embarrassing thing for a political ean- didate is to be called on for a specific statement of his attitude on a specific matter. Usually the ques tion comes from & deeply interested section of the public which ean be satisfied only with an answer that will not satisfy others. Yet it is the right of Any person or group to expect a statement from the candidate who wants their votes or who as- pires to a position as legislator. CABH-AND-CARRY i (Vancouver Province) A large merchandising organisations application #0 the B.C. Provincial Milk Board for permission to Bell milk ab a lower price than that charged for délivered milk, was inevitable. In view of increasing costs of production and dis- tribution, and the inability of many milk consumers to pay more, an effort must be made to retail milk 8% the lowest possible price consistent with a decent profit to dalrymen, One of the easiest ways to provide cheaper milk is to allow stores to sell milk at lower prices to those who are willing to carry it home themselves.

The fiddler plays, the dance begins, feet skip their measured stresses, and all is fusic--even girls' gay flowered dresses, The cloth swirls round and found the room.

Of the three leaders he was easily the poorest performer on the hustings, Both Mr. Thomson and Mr. Jol liffe had it over on him on de livery. His style is not suited for the stump at all. His speeches are long and too carefully couched to be either clear or interestng. And his delivery is poor = rushed and without good phrasing and timing, particularly without that log breeding applatise: It's pretty hard for an audience to give much ap- plause when the speaker doesn't give them time. By contrast Mr. Thomson is polished. He has the style of the evangelist. The sonorous delivery 'of the pulpit. A steady dose of it beconies tiring. But on & one-night stand -his strong voice, at times dramatic delivery and sharp state. ment cah be very effective. | Mr. Jolliffe rates somewhere be- tween the other two. His delivery or showmanship aren't up to that of Mr. Thomson. Both his timing and delivery are better than that of Mr. Frost, however, and his ma- terial is assembled better and more clearly put #&cross than either. Of course what Mr. Frost had was himself. He gave the impres- sion of not trying to do too much of a job of selling. He appeared just .as a very human person -- perhaps even a bit boring like most of us. And though the people wouldn't buy him as an entertainer he was the kind of person they wanted to vote for. The best story of the campaign: THe northern candidate who came to see the editor of his local paper very concerned. His complaint: The paper wasn't picking on him. And he couldn't make ah issue about it on the hustings. The best platform personality: Major John Foote, V. C. John, as he always does, just acted like a very human guy. He has a habit of kind of laughing at himself even Sermon In Soap By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE All those well-used canards, that bigness is detrimental to the public interest, that profits are made at the expense of the worker and the public, and that wages have not kept pace with profits, seetn to have had a fait answer in & modest item in Richard Deupree's report a8 Chairman of the Board to the 48,000 American stockholders of the Proctor and Gamble Company, It was one of those statéments that are so simple and primary that they cannot be disputed, so easily comprehended that it should find a reSponse in any open mind. Mr. Deupree"s statement did not be- labor the point that industrial ef- ficiency, which must be credited to the effort and thought and know- how of managemetit, Was the factor that made it possible to be considerate of employees and pub- lic at the same' time. He didnt state this in so many words, He merely presented certain. figures that probably could be repeated, with minor diférences, in thousands of other undertakings. He simply explained that the wages and taxes showfi on the balance sheet were forty times the wages and salaries of sixty-six years before; that the prices of all the materials» that at serious moments, indicating that he can be wrong as well a8 any- body. Yet at the same time there is no doubt of his seriousness. He also has a campaign practice of having a question period at his migetifgs. A practice we have al- ways liked in the CCF. With John, as always, it is just another ex- ample of true democracy. If ever a clergyman could be premier of this province we would say he would be the man. The poorest candidate of the campaign -- and now & member. We won't name him. But the boss of his organization said about him "I can't say he is the worst politielan in America. But the only reason I can't say it is that I haven't met them all." Link Eskimos To Cavemen |0f Stone Age Nome, Alaska--REskimos of the American Arctic probably are sur- vivals of the Old Stone Age cave dwellers of Europe. That is the belief of Dr. Henry B. Collins, Bureau of American Ethnology an- thropologist. He has been comparing Eskimo culture which existed in Alaska about 2,000 years ago with that of Neotithic Siberian Eskimos. "Recent evidence makes it sible to trace the ancestral kiinos backward on a long trek as far as Lake Baikal," says Dr. Foilins, in the annual report of the mithsonian Institution, just issued in Washington. The Alaskan Hskimos' forebears probably lived along the head- waters of the Lena and Yenisel Rivers around Lake Baikal, he says. It is thought they followed the great Siberian rivers down to the Arctic coast. CULTURE DEVELOPED There, under stimulus of Arctic condi they developed the rudime of maritimes culture that later found its fullest ex- pression in the Bering Sea area. Relatively recent reports by Russian archaeologists, Dr, Collins points out, show that in late New Stone Age times-- but still before the coming of the nomadic rein- deer breeders who constitute the historic population--the coasts and rivers of northern Siberia continued to be occupied by isolated groups whose underground houses, pottery and hunting and fishing techniques were essentially Eskimo in char« acter. While the main roots of Eskimo culture can be traced to the early Neolitchic and Mesolithic of north. ern Eurasia, influences also were received from the higher oultures of eastern Asia, probably north- ern China and Manchuria. These blended to form the com- plex and highly developed pre- !historic Alaskan Eskimo cultures (known as Old Bering Sea an | Iplutak. | LATE ARRIVALS "The final development and el- aboration of Eskimo culture," says Dr. Collins, "took place at Bering Strait, a region abounding in game | ~walrus, seal, caribou, birds, fish And always they are e away . . .

"For & people equipped to uti lize the resources of the sea, Bering Strait was one of the richest hunt- ing territories of the world," he declares. 1t is now clear, according to Dr. Collins, that the Eskimos were not the first to cross to America by this route. They were, he says, relatively late arrivals; having been preceded by the ancestors of some of the American Indians. Between these and the Hskimos ~aside from a general mongoloid ancestry--there is little similarity. The earlier migrants to Amer- ica presumably came across not on ice or water, but over a great land bridge which, during the last Ice Age; stretched for 1,000 miles from southern Beting Sea north- ward into the Aretic Ocean. 16 Years Ago Georgd Romanchuk, old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Romanchuk, 621 B8imecoe Street South, died in hospital as the re-| sult of being struck by a delivery | truck near his home. nine-year- Dr. B.
