I1 new program is the University r'orcst operated hy the T1R(! faculty of forestry and officially dedicated last week. The significance of the tree farm in the overall conservation el fort lies in the fact thai, certification provides a powerful incentive to the grower to manage his land and timber intelligently. Certification carries with it a real sense of achievement and confers on the holder of a certificate a :spneial standing through its recognition of the tree grower's efforts to develop his holdings t- their fullest potential. The movement, wiii.h originated in the United States some ten years ago, has thoroughly demonstrated its practical value in thousands of flourishing tree farms scattered throughout the nation. The Canadian Forestry Association and its branches are now putting this experience to good use in Canada. OTTAWA DIARY By NORMAN M.

To this the President replied that It would take him at least two hours to prepare a 15-minute speech. Last .session, in an effort to take some of what h? now calls wind out of MLA's speeches. Mr Speaker told members they must no longer read their seecries. JVIostly, naturally. MLAs Ignored Mr. Speaker on this, and kept right on reading. If Mr. Speaker attempted to slop them. Ury said they were merely referring to notes, when it was quite obvious they were reading, word, for word, from a prepared text. What' could poor Mr. Speaker do? So now he gets even. He calls ' MLAs a bunch of wind bags. Is that dignified? Hardly and yeti Mr. Speaker's a great one for' legislative dignity. He would never, never, never make such a remark in the legislature, but on the hustings anything goes. KIMGIO. THI MIKAUI lUStm IN1MIL trrm i TO Kremlin Hcware THK AM BASRA DC RS of foreign countries rarely turn up to debates in the Parliament of Canada. Also, they turn up to I lie. wrong debates. Take, for uislaliee. the speech made by a private member lite one night last week, with only a liaiiuful of MPs in the louse. In' my judgment, that speech wa the must significant that 1 have Jiearri . ii.ee 1 came to Ottawa. For that speech said, as plainly as anything could be said: Kremlin watch your step. THK SPEAKER was Claire Oil-Its, who for fourteen years has i ably represented the eoulminers I of Cape Breton in Uils House, i Mr. Olllis Is u Member of the ; CCV. but he often takes an in-; dependent line, us he clearly ! did in this case. Kc is a war : veteran, and is generally eredit- ed with having written the first I rough draft of what became the War Veterans' Allowa-iee Act of ' Canada. What he did say boiled down to this: The nations of the West were threatened by a new type of aggression, which had its centre, heart and head. In the Kremlin at Mo.seow. That new aggressive world force was ad vancing by a series of local at-; taeks on the fringes of the .Soviet 1 power bloc. The West .should ; never again get drawn into such I ".Sideline Issues" a.s Korea or jlndo-China. Rather if a show-i dciwn had to come, the West I should pick the place for thai 'showdown. Mr. Olllis argued jthat a good general picks the i time and place for the crucial battle if he knows he has to ; fight. . . A CLOSE reading "of Mr."CUlls' speech will convince any stu-' dent that it has serious holes in its reasoning. For instance, in jone place, I lie forthright coal-1 miner from Cape Breton su'-' gest ed I hat in the event of war lour NATO forces In Europe would be of little value easily to be pushed aside by the Russian army. He therefore suggested that at least half of all the Canadian air squadrons now in Europe be brought home to defend America. That suggestion hardly ties In with Mr. GiiliV larger proposition that, if the allies are going to have to fight : Russia, they had better hit, at the heart land of Russian po-jer, ralher than try to contain It ,n its outermost fringes. I i i niNK. mat the uilli.'.' speech Is of extreme importance, precisely because It does not represent official opinion of the Parliament pf Canada in fact, it quite clearly does not express the official policy of the CCF. But it does seem to me that it truly represents a -crystallizing idea in the minds of a great .many people In western lands, ' rliat Is, such people cannot .vee any way out of the never-ending struggle, caused by the dynamic and aggressive nature of world Communism. There is a steadily growing fatalism In the minds and hearts of people I everywhere, that the basic nature of world Communism makes a struggle with It a foregone conclusion. Tlie very fact that the recent local battles In Asia have gone against the West strengthens the conviction, In the minds of such people, that if we are going to have to fight we might as well fight on tlie kind of a battlefield where we have a real chance to brine the struggle to an end. READERS of this column are aware that I do not share the opinion held by Mr. Olllis, for. whom, nevertheless, I have u deep respect. I think his reasoning on this question is faulty-arid if carried to Its logical conclusion could be extremely dangerous, from evf ry point of yiew. , But it seems to me that the men in the Kremlin could make no greater mistake than to ignore ' the Importance of what people like Mr. Olllis are think-: ing, and at times saying.

A fair part of the Premier's anxiety is further said to stem from the extent to which he has been personally active in the Highway Department's affairs. It is no secret here that, while Hon. George Doncette was nominally Highways Minister, Premier frost handled a numlx;r of major highway situ-ut.ons personally. This situation "f divided authority dearly may boomerang against the Conservative administration before the nrescnt administration Is over. Hon. Mr. frost may have to bear his share of direct responsibility. Curiously enough, the Ontario Liberals aren't too jubilant over the difficulties besetting the Comer ntive administration. One reason is the threat of the Conservatives to press the investigation back into the days of the Hepburn Liberal government , ir the Liberals really get hard to handle. It is pretty well known that road contractors didn't starve In the Hepburn Government era either. Thus only the CCF is really happy In the situation. The Socialists have the feeling that their moment ?jf opportunity may have arrived. And they are preparing lustily to make the most of it. The scope that they ai'O to be given will depend upon the decision of the frost Board of 'Hlrjltetfy in 'respect to an election this aiilumn. tMIAI.I'l V ' Ot!M S WKI.MIl'OOL, V. iles K - The Ullra-1.1 ".lit.
