In its announcement of this week, the board puts all this very diplomatically, but the blunt truth appears to be that it cannot make a policy of conservation and fire protection jibe with a practice of opening up the reserve tohe general public on a cenerous scale.

The simple reason for this the flaw in the ointment Is the established lact that human carelessness is the main cause of forest fires.

"There has been, in fact, a great strategic chance in the world during the past year." The second passage Introduces his domestic program. In It he says that, "At the moment we are in transition from a war-time to a peace-time economy." Putting the two together, this means that the administration Is acting on the assumption that a great strategic change In the world justifies' the making the transition to a peace-lime economy. This is as great and lar-reaching a Judgment as a government can make In this period of history.

It is to be hoped, however, that the government will set its sights much higher than that. The province's population and its hospital requirements are growing- so rapidly that double that number of beds would not be too much to meet the need in the near future. Governments, provincial or municipal, cannot be too fore-righted in Alberta nowadays.

For to many of us the ruins that litter the City of London have been a stark memorial to what Sir Winston Churcnill railed the country's.

They spoke so eloquently of the stuff of which the, British are' made: of what the British endured without complaint when they stood alone In the long, dangerous months of 1940-41. But even old London cannot stand still.

There must be progress. And so, new brick rises where the old was tumbled by bombs, the street superintendents watch the shovels and cranes at work. The rebuilding of London has been retarded by the need of construction elsewhere: homes, industrial construction, schools and- priority projects.

But when he goes on to define the strategic change, he is, I am afraid, expressing his personal hopes rather than describing the facts: "That precious intangible, the initiative, is becoming ours. Our policy, not limited to mere reaction against crises provoked by others, is free to develop along lines of our choice not only abroad but at home." 1 In the more distant future, when much more conservation work has been completed, it may become possible to ensure protection of the forest cover while permitting the public to make generous use of the reserve; but that time is not yet.

etate politicians determined to keep up the present system of high and rigid support prices. Now, as farm surpluses continue to mount, Mr. Eisenhower has had to ask Congress to appropriate nearly more to finance the activities of the Commodity Credit Corporation In buying tnd storing these surpluses. It appears that even under an administration which is trying hard to economize and reduce taxes, farm support is going td cost the taxpayers more than ever before. In order to keep the present system 67 cents a pound.

Truman. Hitherto, the government, after buying surplus commodities from the farmers, has been free to try to reimburse itself by selling them. Now, it is apparently feared that such sales might break the artificially sustained market price. Accordingly, the president has asked for authority to "segregate" certain surplus stocks such as wheat rnd corn, and keep them off the market ltogether. Under this plan, they could not be sold to farmers, commercial buyers, exporters or foreign buyers who normally purchase through commercial channels.

peace-time economy of the postwar era demanded. the government's resolution calling for the appointment of a parliamentary committee to consider the possible abolition of the death penalty. Even at this early stage, the discussion got off on a wrong note. Harold Winch, CCF member for Vancouver East, is re-jwrted to have held the house "in shocked ilence" while he described the horrors of a hanging he witnessed eighteen years ago. This may be highly dramatic, but it is essentially irrevelant.

No one disputes that an execution, by whatever means it is car-lied out, is a horrible business. But that is not the issue. The questions which must be Although the rebuilding program will be speeded up ten-fold, the government intends to keep a check-rein on licenses to prevent the building industry being overwhelmed and disruption of other projects. "It might be thought that we could reach the maximum expenditure more quickly if we gave a block of say $50,000, 000 of licenses now," said Sir avid Eccles. "It is, however, important not to congest the market with requests for tenders." "The construction industry, fully employed today, requires steady flow of new contracts to replace those being completed, but I have to be careful not to overload the program, and to hold the balance between London and the provinces." He also made a plea for an enlightened approach in designing the new buildings in the City.

What is done over the next few years will determine the appearance of important parts of the City for decades to come. A new approach is needed, consistent with its dignity and prestige, which will lead to adjacent buildings having some relationship of modern style while retaining, individual distinction.
