Education Finance Russia's Domestic Goals May Ensure Era Of Peace Soviet Russia has embarked on a program to become the most productive industrial nation in the world, Possibly this is a phase of the Communist dream of world domination, From the Krem- lin has come proclamation of a huge new campaign which has as its object- ive surpassing the United States in per capita production by 1965. The goal is to make the Soviet Union the most powerful country in the world by that date, For this purpose, the old five-year plan which was to have been completed by 1960 has been scrapped, and a much more ambitious program of building up industry and agriculture, extending to 1965, has been set up. This is of course, not the first time that such plans have been announced from Moscow. The Russians have learned, however, that there is a wide gap between announcing a plan and reaching its objectives. There is one aspect of this new pro- gram, however, which is encouraging. Jt would appear that for fulfilment of the plan which will reach its peak in 1965, the Soviet Union must have an era of peaceful co-existence until that time. Any large-scale war would wreck the plan, and destroy Russia's hopes of carrying it through to the point which is desired. It is natural to expect, then, that for the next eight years Russia will be con- tent to maintain peaceful relations with the rest of the world, This does not mean that the cold war will be halted. It will continue, with all its propaganda weapons, without abatement, It may even be intensified, But we can have some assurance that, if the Kremlin is serious about its new plan, it will be very careful not to become involved in War, The Kremlin plan, however, should be taken seriously by the United States and other nations of the free world. The only way in which it can be met is by greater efforts on their part to retain the industrial leadership they now en- joy. Title Ban For Canadians In his column on this page yester- day, Patrick Nicholson, special Otta- wa eorrespondent $0 The Times-Gaz- otte, had a piece about the ban on the awarding of titles $0 Canadians. In this column, he 'made #t appear that the late Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, when prime minister of Canada, was the eriginator of this ban. Just to keep the record straight, # should be pointed out that the re- guest that no further titles be confer- manded why Mr, Canadians did mot emanate back these messages until closing the , King.

Mr. Nickle gave the apt reply. a resolution passed by the "I never go gunning till the game is in mons in 1919, two years sight." 131 Lae § One interesting incident in the de- bate comes to mind. The most bitter opponent of the resolution was the late W. F. Cockshutt, then M.P. for Brantford, He made a strong speech against it. In closing the debate, how- ever, Mr, Nickle read a long list of telegrams and letters which he had received from Brantford organizations supporting his stand against titles.

In eondemming this practice, he seems %0 think # is something new. That sort of thing, however, has been going on for a long time in the morth. Mr. MacDonald stated that while in the north recently he received eom- plaints that some eompanies were oharging tolls for the use of roads through epown lands and were barring fishermen and hunters. In one case a paper eompany was charging $8.00 per ear and $5.00 per truck for using its road running out from Marathon. He condemned this as a feudal practice out of place in the 20th eentury.
