The Daily News welcomes all of the Soroptimists from the four west- ern provinces and we hope that their stay will indeed be a pleasant one and they will take back to their homes lasting memories of this small community on north coast of British Columbia.

Theis work has covered such areas as providing scholarships, helping out with social work and adding that lively spark to make history such drives as tuberculosis fund-rais- ing schemes and x-ray campaigns. One example of thelr work in Prince Rupert is seen in their success- ful efforts to organize the Happy Gang, a group of people over the age of 60 who now meet regularly for an enjoyable evening’ out. the future. their tional They assist at the Skeena Health Unit when there is need clerical work, and only recently they raised a total $1,200 towards furnish- ing the common room of the senior citizens housing development which is to be constructed here in the near for extra Generally they are out to help children and be of any service they can to women.

The local club, under the leader- ship of president Mrs. Perey (Edith) Curle, will have their hands full for the next few days, and so we wish them the very best in the first ever regional parley. We hope the visitors will accomplish much and at the same time enjoy our city. organization, and There must be a new pattern By LUBOR J. ZINK OTTAWA (TNS)—The sim- ultaneous start Thursday of a new Parliamentary session in Gtitawa and the GATT (Gen- eral Agreement on Tariffs and Trade» conference in Geneva was of course purely coinci- dental. On the surface, the chance choice of the same opening date was the only link between these two events. Under the surface, there is more to it than that. Both in Ottawa and in Gen- eva serious attempts will be made to break away from economic and political con- cepts which are hindering or- derly adjustments to changed world conditions. In essence it is a tacit acknowledgement that the heritage of the now- defunct colonial era has been spent, and that new patterns of international and national fife must be developed in order to fill the widening chasm be- tween quantitative and quali- tative changes in contempor- ury society. Here at home the new gov- crnment faces the task of prodding the country out of its Inertia, induced by the post- war Jud] in international econ- ome competition and fed by delusions of profit in’ detach- ment from the outside world, GLOBAL SCALE In Geneva, the GATT meet- ne Wil grapple with much the site problems in global seale, Irving to break entrenched prejudices of the rieh trading mittions agaist the elamor of fhe neweomer for an easier aeeess toand @ more equitable shire of the luerative markets.

The pro- is the liquidation of isolation- istic tendencies through freer trade which calls not only for economic but also political adjustments. The characteristic pattern of the colonial ‘or imperial) era was the exchange of raw ma- terials from the undeveloped “dependent” territories for manufactured goods from Eur- ope and the U.S. In this scheme Canada reached a half-way point. While still a supplier of a large volume of raw materials, she has also developed (mainly due to the industrializing spur of the two world wars) a substantial manufacturing capacity. After 1945, there was for a whole decade an insatiable de- mand for both our raw mater- jals and our industrial pro- ducts, Our basic political and economic orientation towards England and the Common- wealth provided an invaluable channel] for the flow of our goods, even though a new pattern began to emerge at the same time in our trade with the U.S. and other areas outside the former British Hm- pire. Gradually this sceond stream | gathered strength until today it overshadows the old pattern, With Europe's and Japan's re- covery, and with the backward parts of the Commonwealth embarking on their own in- dustrialization programs, our postwar boom has Jost — its momentum, The resulting eeconomie dif- fieultics, marked by increasing unemployment at hame and loss of competitivencss abroad, ee ie Hey, Jeet Is the result of extensive researeh carried: out by selene thats of the Defonew Reseureh Board, with the object of pro- ducing a relatively small, high. speed, low-cost vehicle capable of oefflelent antl-snbmarine Lee ee centaiE ie meet ee epee ce rin pointed out the need for re- vision of our traditional poli- cies. Europe’s Common Market. which Britain tried and can- not but continue trying to join, pointed out the shape of things to come. The trend, both econ- omically and politically, is to- wards geographic regionalism. In this realignment, Can- ada’s logical place is in the North American region. This fact has already been cau- tiously acknowledged by the new government's stress on closer ties with the U.S. em- bodied in the Hyannis Port communique. This trend was advanced a step further by Trade and Commerce Minister Mitchell Sharp’s rejection in London of the idea of a Commonwealth Economic Development Caoun- cil. Instead, Canada will seek in Geneva, jointly with Britain and the U.S,, to lay the foun- dation for a new international trade structure based on or- ganic regional aligninents, CORE OF PLAN The core of the plan is the creation of an Atlantic Com- munity as the unified econ- omic, political and military backbone of the free world.

ONatlonal Defence Photad According to Hoyle THE SARNIA OBSERVER SAYS: Race troubles Coming into the world with & white skin, like being born to the purple, is largely an ac- cident of birth. It is a biolog- ical happening over which the newly-born have no choice, but one which will follow them to the end of their days. Being born white, however, should not entitle the fair- skinned to any advantages not accruing to any other color. Among the whites, like the blacks, the browns and the yellows and hybrid colors stemming from the homogeny of the primary racial hues, there are good people and bad, smart and stupid, honest and evil, Tf there is anything in the teachings of Christianity they are all sons and daughters of the same Father who looks over cach and every one. ., There should be reason to be proud of being white. The world’s progress today (if one would call it progress) can be largely attributed to men of light-hued skin. ny But there are times when one does not feel justified in holding up one’s head just be- cause the color is caucasian and the features finer than some, Actions of too many white people today are a slur upon the races they mistaken- ly believe, in their intolerant ignorance, they are protecting. Birmingham, Alabama, is bidding fair to match South Africa in its brutality in cop- ing with its colored “prob- lem.” That city of the Deep South has already made Little Rock and Mississippi look tol- erant. There is no reason for white people to feel proud of their A great) many devotees of classical music are not music- ally educated but are attracted by its harmoniousness, its tunefulness, sonority, and a beauty that can be remember- ed and recognized, next time they hear it.

There is nothing to mark the white race as super- ior when they see these same policemen jerking praying peo- ple from their knees and herd- ing little children into police vans for no other crime than being black and refusing to be humble about it. Certainly there was nothing to be proud of in earlier out- breaks when © sloppy-looking, slavering white women, with beastility showing in their faces as they spat upon and kicked at colored people. If these are the people and this the type of white person to whom the southern politicians bow to, one cannot extend to them the respect that men in their position are entitled to. No one denies the presence in south may some day fade their own. They were brought across oceans and sold as Slaves to uphold an economy which has long since departed. Some of them have roots deep- er in America than some of those who .3it tpo0~ Lhem and policemen who herry them on the streets a.itl hurry them into black marias. One cannot venture a guess as to how long the racial pro- blem will continue. It is safe to say that despite all efforts by the loud-mouthed, the big- oted, and ignorant to hold back the clock some time peo- ple will be considered on indiv- idual merit rather than the color of their skins. When that time comes most of those who are so vociferous and staunch in fighting for mistaken ideals will be lower on the human scale than those they are hounding and _ ) persecuting today. , word of God — We give thanks to God: alr. ways for you all, making men- tion of you in our prayers.— J.

It is also true, but conveniently played down, that this intolerance against the colored is by no means confined to that territory south of the Mason-Dixon line. But it is something the white People of the world (not alone the United States and South Africa) must live with and to which they must adust them- selves. It is impossible to confine them to ghettos as Europe dis- covered and South Africa will find out. There is no hope of doing away with the menace by annihilating them, as Hit- ler’s Germany discovered with the Jews.
