FOOD FOR THOUGHT (tfje Ifestem IHorninff Ictus (Founded 1860) incorporating Devon Exeter Daily Gazette 1772 Western Daily Mercury 1861 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 27, 1950. Leicester Harmswortb House, Plymouth. Telephone: Plymouth 2131. IT is plain that though there is no Liberal candidate in the North-East Leicester by-elec- tion, and though the Liberals have been advised to support the Conservative candidate, the Opposition is up against a stiff proposition.

For at the General Election the Socialist K.C. whose promotion to the Bench has caused the vacancy had an overall majority of some 6,000 over his Conservative, Liberal, and Communist opponents. So the terms of the message sent by the Prime Minister to the K.C. whose candidature he may well have special reasons to promote may be attributable to a belief that here is a safe seat for Socialism." Mr. Attlee's appeal is to people I who have made up their minds and are not open to reason.

Thus the Prime Minister. who once broadcast his recognition that our present social security system represents the culmination of the work of all political parties, now asserts that it only since 1945 that the foundations of the Welfare State have been "well and truly laid." He asserts unblushingly that throughout these years the international situation has caused anxiety; He ignores his party 1945 assurances that it would get on terms with Soviet Russia. He forgets how the present i Minister of Defence asserted as lately as 1948 that we were in no danger and that our position was not Weak, and how more recently still (in May, 1949) he argued that the country could not afford what it was then spending on defence. These surely were singular ways in which tp manifest anxiety. And finally.

Mr. Attlee alleges, as we had foreseen he would, that it is the Opposition which, though it supports the Government's defence measures, is "engaging in factious manoeuvres." The Prime Minister's message is addressed to prejudice. Mr. Churchill's appeal is to thoughtful men and women, irrespective of party. The Leader of the Opposition points to the Government's "harsh response to the Conservatives' solid support for the belated rearmament programme.

The violent controversy raised by the Socialists' determination to take over "a large and oddlychosen part" of the and steel industry at a moment when it was never more necessary for that industry to work with smooth efficiency has split the country in half. The chance afforded by the Steel Act itself to reach a sensible agreement was thrown away. Yet. argues Mr. Churchill with unanswerable logic, if the crisis is great enough to justify two years of conscription in time of peace, it should also have led the Government to lay aside, for the time being at least, this new attack upon the strength of our country." It is, then, the Government I that has weakened when it I might and should have I strengthened the nation in the face of the common danger.

And what, asks Mr. Churchill, does nationalisation mean to the wage-earner? The State is an unsympathetic employer. State-owned only avoid ruinous losses by raising prices to the consumer. Nationalisation is destructive', not only of free enterprise, but I of British trade unionism. Here is food for thought.

If it is digested, Mr. Attlee may be shocked to discover that North- East Leicester is by no means the stronghold which he complacently assumes it to be. Peace mcives begin IVTR. JACOB MALIK'S public peace feeler has rightly dismissed by a spokesman of the United States State Department as mere propaganda." It may be taken, however, that the Russians will follow this up with secret peace moves behind the scenes. For it is clear that they do not relish the idea of the Allied forces going over the 38th Parallel and would like to obtain some kind of peace settle- I ment before this happens.

I But it is equally clear that it I will be difficult for the Russians to put forward a peace plan acceptable to the Western Powers unless they are prepared to forgo all the fruits of the North Korean aggression, which obviously will not be the case. Doubtless another reason why the Kremlin would like to obtain some kind of peace settlement in Korea now is that this would make it easier after a short lull to stage another Communist aggression i elsewhere. It might take the form of a big drive in Indo-China, supj ported by Communist China. All these things are necessarily speculative at the moment. But one thing is certain: the Western Powers will approach any kind of Communist peace offer from the angle that deeds, not words, will be required if they are to be con! vinced of the genuineness of any desire for peace evinced by the Kremlin.

Making UNO effective MR. DEAN ACHESON'S proposals for making the United Nations Organisation an effective instrument for peace are the most important of their kind today. They involve each peace-minded member State being willing to allocate a proportion of its national forces for prompt United Nations action against aggression. This would obviate that improvisation which took place when the Korean aggression started, which, as Mr. Bevin truly said in his speech to the General Assembly on Monday, must not happen again.

In the future the United Nations must be in a position to have adequate forces ready to take action the moment aggression breaks out anywhere. The United States is already getting ready to put military teeth into this idea. The Joint Chiefs of Staffs have submitted to President Truman proposals for doubling both the United States Air Force and the United States Army by mid-1954. As regards the Army, that would mean that in addition to being able to station substantial forces in Europe, there would be available a strategic and mobile reserve for allocation to the United Nations forces for action against aggression anywhere- Britain and the other Western members of the Organisation will have to plan on similar lines. Like this the United Nations will not fail as the old League of Nations failed because of inability to be prepared to deal instantly and effectively with aggression.

Decision needed UIR CLIFFORD TOZER'S ex- planation of the Plymouth Reconstruction Committee's delay in reaching a decision on the fate of the blitz-ruined Guildhall will not afford much satisfaction to those who feel that finality in this matter is long overdue. It is more than six months ago that the report of Mr. John L. Denman, one of the most eminent architects in the country for this particular style of building, was prepared. It cost Plymouth about £200 to get the expert advice.

Mr. Denman made a number of alternative suggestions, the most important of which, to those who have fought for the Guildhall's retention, was that it was a practical and economic proposition to retain the building with the exterior in its present form and to redesign the interior, and as such it could be incorporated in the lay-out of the new Civic Centre. It is for the Reconstruction Committee to make a recommendation, and for the city council to decide finally, on what shall happen to these ruins. We agree that the alternatives need careful consideration and that sentiment must not be allowed to overrule what is practical. Also, the fate of the Guildhall must in large measure be connected with the layout of the new civic buildings.

The Denman report makes it clear, however, that the rebuilt Guildhall could, with distinction, be incorporated in the plan. There has been so much dallying with this matter that unless a decision is reached soon the ruins will degenerate into such a deplorable and dangerous condition that they will be beyond use. Now there is 0 be further delay while the city engineer prepares a report on work considered necessary to prevent further deterioration to the existing shell of the building. Is it not rather late In the day to call for such a report? The damage has been largely done, and if there is no intention to rebuild why bother to protect what now remains? The Guildhall was destroyed close on ten years ago. It has been allowed to become a pathetic monument to inattention.

Sir Clifford Tozer says its future wHI be again considered at the next meeting of the Reconstruction Committee. We hope a decision will be reached- FARM ON RAIL Move from Grampound to Norfolk with livestock Fifty-eight head of cattle, 100 poultry a number of pigs, and a quantity of farm machinery and implements will travel by special train today when the farm of Maj. A. M. A Baillie will move from Grampound Road to Melton Constable.

Norfolk. The journey will take about 17 hours, a halt of two hours being made at Oxford to permit the milking of 14 cows. The 16 members of the farm staff and their families will travel in the train. Mawgan Porth site will throw light on rural life in Dark Ages COMMUNITY of fishermen, stockbreeders, and agriculturists of the Dark Ages, who had their own built-in cupboards and lived on shellfish, edible snails, and animals, is being unearthed by archaeologists at Mawgan Porth. To archaeologists it is a most important site because, although two town sites of the same period A.D.

now being excavated at Thetford and Southampton, this is the first rural village of the period to be excavated in this country. It is, therefore, what is known as a type site and will form the basis for future excavations of any other similar sites discovered. Adding importance to the work is the fact that this Is the first known record of DarW Ages settlement at Mawgan Porth. It was discovered quite by accident before the war, when Mr. P.

A. Wailes, of Marver Cottage, Mawgan Porth, who owns the land, had a number of soundings made to test the subsoil for building. ETHELRED 11. COIN In the first hole the workmen came upon a wall foundation which they thought to be an old Cornish hedge. Similar in other holes, however, convinced Mr.

Waile6, who is an architect, that there was something vastly more interesting beneath the sand. When a skull was found further up the hill, the late Col. Hurst, the Cornwall antiquary, was called in and he excavated the burTal while the skull was sent to the Royal College of Surgeons. The report from the college that it appeared to be an ancient burial put Mr. Wailes on the alert, and when excavations were being made at Carloggas last year the archaeologist in charge was invited to inspect this site.

In one of his trial trenches he was fortunate enough to turn out a silver coin bearing the portrait of King Ethelred 11., and the inscription Aethelraed Rex Anglorum." On the other side of the coin was a cross and the inscription Goda Mo Lyda." Goda is believed to be the name of the man who struck the coin, while Lyda is probably evidence that it was struck at Lydford in Devon. Mr. Wailes, who is taking a personal interest and giving considerable assistance in the excavations, decided when the possibility of building was renewed after the war, to invite the Ministry of Works to excavate the site first- SMALL COMMUNITY In charge of the excavations Mr. R. L.

S. Bruce-Mitford, of the Department of British Antiquities of the British Museum, and who is also secretary of the Society of Antiquaries. is assisted by Mr. Paul Ashbee. a diploma student at the Institute of Archaeologists, London University, for the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments of the Ministry of Works.

Mr. Bruce-Mitford says that it was probably a settlement of quite a small community living on stock, shell-fish, and snails, and probably a certain amount of agricultural produce. Scraping at random in the mound, his trowel unearthed teeth of a sheep, and shell and bone fragments from what was probably one of tihe village rubbish tips. From the trenches already excavated, a great deal of information has obtained of particular archaeological interest. No clear idea has yet been obtained of the shape, or lay-out of the village, but different methods of wall construction with or without DIGGING UP VILLAGE OF A.D.

1000 clay mortar, and the interlocking of the stones to form strong corners and curves, can be studied in nearly every trench that has been dug. One of the most interesting discoveries the three weeks' work have produced, is a built-in cupboard in the wall of one of the huts. A quantity of barlip pottery, quite characteristic of the period, has also been found. Excavations higher up the hill have revealed that the burial dis-. covered before war was not, as might well have been the case, a random burial of a single mariner washed up on the beach, but that thi was undoubtedly a grave field, probably the cemetery of the village.

The archaeologists working on the site regard the past three weeks' work as a preliminary survey of the site, and they will be finishing work today for the winter. As a result of these three weeks' discoveries, however, they will be able to start again next year with a clear programme of work, which they hope will provide a complete picture of the way of life of the community which lived at Mawgan Porth 1,000 years ago. Letters to the Editor NO CONSERVATIVE BENEFIT? Sir, John Foot informs your readers that "another Conservative Government would be a disaster of the first order." Well, that is Mr. John Foot's opinion, but may a Conservative inquire, without being arrested for daring to open his mouth, what exactly this means Are Conservatives to be debarred for ever from government, with Labour, failing any increase of popularity in Liberalism, perpetually in power Does Mr. John Foot seriously believe that Conservatives are incapable of governing this nation, that their rule has always been disastrous, that they have never brought any benefit of any sort to their countrymen, and that we must submit, failing any recovery of his party, to be governed by men who shamelessly bribe the workingclass with benefits which, too often, are delusive I should be sorry to think that a son of Mr.

Isaac Foot, a man whom we all have ample cause to respect, should utter such Footle as that, even in fun. ST. JOHN ERVINE. Seaton. Sept.

22. Apple harvest Sir, I plead that everything possible should be done by retailers to make available to housewives this year's bounteous apple crop at the lowest prices. One retailer supplied by me has added 140 per cent, for his services. Another has added 100 per cent. In both cases the fruit would have kept till Christmas and so no danger of loss was involved.

A lower profit margin would increase turnover and help to bring much of the fruit which otherwise will waste to the consumers. D. H. COLES. Cornwood, Sept.

20. Fines for cruelty Sir, today's Western Morning News" we read of a farmer who had beaten his dog to death with an iron bar. A veterinary surgeon says he did think the dog suffered, and described the farmer as a "dear, kind old man." What a veterinary! Is this dear, kind man allowed to keep a dog in future? When are these silly fines to be done away with? Often we read of a man who steals vegetables from a garden or allotment sent to prison. It's nice to know of people like Mr. Satterly, of Paignton, and Mr.

Small, of Cornwood. coming forward and speak the truth. It's a very long time since I've ver read anything so cruel. (Mrs.) VIOLET K. CURNOW.

LONDON, Tuesday Night. Abbey tribute to Smuts VETERANS who were comrades with Gen. Smuts when he was a leader in the South African War, and some of those who fought against him, but later became close friends, joined in their tribute to the warrior statesman at a memorial service in Westminster Abbey today. Mr. Churchill, looking grave, must have recalled the great part which Gen.

Smuts played with him in the War Cabinet. The Earl of Athlone represented the King, with his wife. Princess Alice. The Queen was represented by Maj. Thomas Harvey and Queen Mary by Maj.

the Hon. John Coke. All the members of the Royal Family had representatives. The Premier sat with Members of the Cabinet and the Government. With him were the Lord Chancellor (Viscount Jowitt), the Lord President of the Council (Mr.

Herbert Morrison), and 'the Home Secretary (Mr. Chuter Ede). Opposite them were the High Commissioners from the Dominions, representatives of the Colonies, and members of the Diplomatic Corps. representatives of the Houses of Parliament and the three Services. Happy understanding ANOTHER illustration of the happy understanding that exists between Princess Elizabeth and her younger sister is provided by the announcement that Princess Margaret is to attend the service and march-past of the all-England Ranger rally at the White City on October 22.

Attendance at the rally was one of the engagements which Princess Elizabeth felt compelled to cancel on the advice of her doctors, who thought she had undertaken too heavy a programme of public duties so soon after the birth of her second child. Princess Margaret, who is Commodore of the Sea Rangers, realised the disappointment the cancellation had caused, and readily agreed when it was suggested that she should take her sister's place. hospital ALTHOUGH still more funds are required, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is proceeding with its plans for an animal hospital at London Airport. The hospital, which is to cost £12,000, will be the first of its kind in the world. It will consist of reception facilities, a dispensary pharmacy, surgery, horse-boxes, and bird cages.

A resident superintendent will be in charge of a 24-hour staff and a veterinary surgeon will be on call to prescribe for sick animals and perform operations. There will be no lack of inmates, for thousands of animals, including monkeys, lizards, snakes, and lions use the airport every year. tour jITAKING a tour of Britain's holiday centres and other attractions next week will be a party of 20 Swiss travel agents. The object of their visit, which has been arranged by the British Travel and Holidays Association, is to acquire first-hand knowledge of the facilities this country offers to tourists so that they will be more fitted to sell Britain" to their own countrymen. After coming to London, the party will divide into two groups of ten.

Torquay, Stratford-on- Avon, and the Isle of Wight are included in the places to be visited.

If it appoints someone with even only elementary knowledge of Press requirements, a further advance will be made towards avoiding a repetition of the deplorable circumstances in which the Press, national as well as local, reported the show at Barnstaple. What The "Western Morning News" and other newspapers thought of the lack of adequate facilities and co-operation was clearly expressed at the time.

Even now, six months after the show, Mr. L. Sta.g>g, the secretary, seems to have no conception of the real grievance, and is thinking only in terms of catalogues. Catalogues This is his explanation to a committee which investigated Press complaints and a host of others: The secretary pointed out that these (several letters of complaint by the Press) had arisen on account of the unreasonable number of catalogues demanded by the Press. One hundred free catalogues were issued and 100 Press tickets as well, and still they were not satisfied." That, to say the least, is indiscreet.

It is also misleading and shows a woeful lack of understanding of the gravamen of the complaints. Fortunately, there are members of the council with longer experience of county shows, who appreciate the difficulties of the Press, who are always eager to assist and 1 who would not assess the value of the Press to the association, nor, indirectly, to the industry, on a catalogue basis. Prosperous mining area TyiTH an unemployment figure of 4 per the Redruth-!
