They will argue that the line is bck exactly where it was h"n the fighting benn They will point to the ' fact thiit the whole of Korea U a ruin, that millions ;of people have been killed or maimed. All this will be true but it fi be entirely beside the main point. The main point is that by 'jghtinff a relatively small war in Korea the United Nations, led by the U.S.A.,' avoided the certainty that they would have to ftpjht all around the rim of Russia. 4 The turn of the century saw a change uloiw the north const.

A Growing Country HOW BIG is Canada going to get? Not many years ago authorities on the subject thought that the country's population would prob- aBly stop growing before the end of the century and stabilize at less. than 20 million. Lately, however, anew surge of growth has greatly altered the outlook. Twelve years of high employment, high marriage rates and high birth rates, and a renewed flow of immigration since the war have boosted the population by more than 20 per cent. If the pace continues, it is estimated that in a quarter-century the number living in this country will be 25 million. '' Speculating along these lines, the monthly review of the Bank of Nova Scotia makes some interesting deductions. On the assumption that population growth will be accompanied by technological improvements, it anticipates that in the next 25 years the total production of the country will be almost three times the present level. If that happens, it!points out, the Canadian per capita production and standard of living will be above that now prevailing in the United States. Although the changes would come too gradually to make a distinct impression, a quick jump ahead into 1980 or thereabouts would find Canadians living in conditions considerably more plush than at present. It is calculated there would be about seven million cars on the road, or one for a little more than every three persons, compared to to be contemplating the NAVY RUM.

As it was, it was nip and tuck. But because the United States did fight a brilliant campaign.- and because the hard core of loyal members of the UN did rally to the support of the U.S., the situation was saved. Russia and Communist China were taught that open aggression would be met with reso-lule counter-action. Bv fighting a reasonably small-scale war in Korea the U.S. in particular and the whole western alliance in general probably averted the certainty that they would have to fight in r.urma. in Iran, and especial-ly in Yugoslavia and Germany.

It is to be hoped, however, that this will not take the edge off the spirit of exploration and new settlement which is currently .doing so. much to make a bigger and better country possible.
