Tomorrow's missionary, no less sincere or enthusiastic rg " than the figure of yesteryear, will be highly trained to use ~ .modern equipment and techniques in spreading Christian 'teachings. . He may travel by jeep or automobile or even by plane -- depending on the region to which he is assigned -- Although he will be quite capable of going places on foot, by canoe or horseback if the going becomes rough. More important, he will employ wire-recording equip- ment, phonograph records, and radio transcriptions to reach thousands of persons to whom he cannot minister in person except at wide intervals. By showing motion pictures he will get his story across even to people who understand his language only imperfectly. The most modern types of communications equipment, including many devices developed in wartime and now avail- able for peacetime use, were demonstrated during the Inter- national Missionary Council meeting at Whitby, Ontario, from July 5 to 18. Many of the 120 delegates from mission groups in 40 different countries, especially those from the islands of the Pacific, arranged to obtain the facilities for their homelands. Others planned to add to equipment they now use. At the same time a brief presented to the gathering |in urged the delegates to také advantage of modern techniques to strengthen the effectiveness of Christian movments. So it's goodbye to the burro, but the Book still goes. The atomic age-has given new power to the man with the Message. J Ballyhooing Crime Although the majority of metropolitan newspapers feature crime news, one of the outstanding examples of those who never countenance this type of news coverage is The Christian Science Monitor. In a recent issue it carried the following comment contributed by the Mentor at Massachusetts State Prison: "Through our newspapers we are the best informed people in the world, yet the most ill-advised. Traditional policy has been to decide what is most important as news and how best to present it.. Editors choose what is "newsy" for the front page to be touched up as sensational. Set forth are the latest murder, kidnapping, bank robbery and other forms of lawlessness and violence, all described as more dar- ing and atrocious than those committed previously. "Offenders are glamorized by phrases concocted by re-write men pressured by a news-hungry editor, all deliber- ately created for sensationalism. It is to this end the free- dom of the press is exercised. No one questions the duty of the editor to report facts of a crime. But one can certainly question the presentation. What purpose is accomplished by the persistent revelation of evil? , "The answer is found in the contrast between the journalistic debaucheries of human perversity appearing on the front page and the indignant and sanctimonious exhor- tations, crying for more laws, sterner laws to be found on the editorial page. But we have stern laws and also more crime. We may conclude that to combat crime is primarily not to set up more laws against the people." The article concludes: "If it is laws we need they should be laws to eliminate the pernicious practice of ballyhooing crime, heralding it as the national pastime. Laws by which the dissemination of crime news is minimized and standard- ized to essential facts. These laws would not control the press or restrict it from printing facts but would prohibit By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Otawa, July 18--Watch for some head-chopping in Bracken House. At least two executives are due to be fired or removed from their pres- ent positions 'the Progressive Conservative y, because of their part in the Halifax by-elec~ tion fiasco. The lame and impotent campaign which saw the Tories trail behind the Socialists has put the elected members in a snarling mood of re- volt. In addition to a clean-out of the Bracken House setup, they are demanding that the party find and appoint an over-all "general" to reorganize the Progressive Conser- valves from coast to coast. rs of the party complain that at least two executives 2 organization regarded the Halifax vote as an opportunity for a holi- day at the seaside. As a result the whole cimpaign was sterile and the Progressive Conservatives took a bad drubbing that will reflect on them all across Canada. "We've got some braintrusters in Bracken House," said one Tory, "but as far as the party is concern- ed they have no brains and we have no trust in them." After the by-election the mem- bers held two meetings in Ottawa to decide future plans, At these meetings John Bracken was given a clean bill of health and absolved of all blame for the seaside drub- bing. But the members described the Bracken House setup as "lousy" and said the demand for a clean- up "came from the bottom and God help anyone who tries to stop it", They said the party wanted a national organizer who was "big enough and tough enough" to do a Job of hard realistic politics for the party. This would include estab- lishing or re-establishing party machines in every province. These disgruntled Torries hark back to the days of General A. D, McRae, now dead, who was the successful or=- ganizer in the early thirties, when the party climbed into power, They want another McRae, they said, and are looking for him now. : The bald truth is the Tories are 8 SoITy mess almost everywhere but Ontario. In British Columbia the provincial Conservative leader is a member of the Hart govern- ment. In Alberta the Tories have long heen in trouble and are always campaigning for coalition against the Social Crediters. In Saskatche- wan their leader, Rupert Ramsay, wants a coalition; in Manitoba Eric willis is a coalition man; in Quebec they've got a good fighting leader in Ivan Sabourin, but as everyone knows Quebec is a tough province for the Tories. In New Brunswick, Hugh Mackay wants to resign. In Nova Scotia the leader, Leonard Fraser, K. C., one of the best 'men they ever had, resigned two yeyars ago. In P.EI, they have MacMillan and organization is not too bad. The Progressive Conservatives in Canada might as well make up their minds to this grim fact: if they cannot win the majority of the tive in every election, they might as well give up the ghost. In the last three byelections--in Pontiac, Richelieu - Vercheres and in Hali- vote decreased while third-party votes increased. This inability to get the protest vote will spell the Tories' doom. Some of them seem to realize it, which accounts for the demand for a shakeup. One Montreal correspondent re- ported that this was "the usual" post-election feeling in a defeated party. But the violent language of the disgruntled ones is far from usual, . Credit for the CCF gain is large- ly attributed to the campaigning of one man--Clarence Gillis, the coal miner who rose to a place in the House of Commons. Both Liberals and Tories joined in paying tribute to the remarkable campaigning abil- anti-government vote that is ac- |; fax--the Progressive Conservative | The Gift Horse Carmack in The Christian Science Monitor ity of this man. One Conservative described him .enviously as a "whirlwind on the platform". There's not much doubt, it is felt in Ottawa, that Gillis will continue to represent Cape Breton for a long time to come. ® 45 Years Ago Cadet Roy Stephenson, of Whitby, was reported to have passed his second year examinations at Royal Military College, Kingston.

Washington Spotlight By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer Washington, July 18--(CP)--Re- fusal of Russia and her satellites to accept the Marshall plan for Eu- ropean rehabilitation will make it easier to get the necessary billions of dollars from Congress. But even if not a dollar is going to. help countries loyal to Moscow, Congress will not yield the sash without a struggle and the struggle is likely to go well into 1948. If Russia and her satellites | had not spurned the generous can offer and drawn the clear line of cleavage between Eastern and West- ern Europe, Congress might have blocked the plan entirely. At the moment there is a grow- ing clamor in Congress for a com- plete break with Russia and her satellites--refusal to send them anything even if they have the goods or money to pay for it. That attitude in Congress might have proved strong enough ulti- mately to defeat the Marshall plan if the Russians had agreed to the conditions under which they and their friends could participate. Thus, apart from all the other potentialities in the situation creat- ed by the Soviet attitude, Russian withdrawal has made it virtually certain that the remaining 16 coun- tries ready to go along with the plan will find enough supporters in Congress to vote the necessary money. Difficult Process But it will be a long and difficult process because Congress does not want to meet again this year after | the forthcoming recess. | President Truman has given all} the assurance he can that he will | not ask for a fall session although | the way is open for him to do so if | circumstances demand it. The chances are that when the Paris conference of the 16 recipient nations completes its survey of what those countries are prepared to do to help themselves and how much aid they will need from the United States, the Senate foreign affairs committee will have a special ses- sion to consider the report. That would not mean 8 special session of Congress but would en- able the committee to arrive at whatever decision it may, and be ready to report when Congress meets in January. Wanted Russia In There is no doubt among inform- ed people here that State Secretary Marshall and his advisers wanted the plan to include {and her satellites, even if that have meant a far more bitter struggle with Congress to get the money. Acceptance by Moscow would have meant an end' to the "iron curtain" and on that the capitalist system had something better than Communism could offer at the moment.

"OPPORTUNITIES TODAY...GREATER THAN EVER" ALEX FORST with his brother Edward took over their father's modest little hardware shop in Vancouver 17 years ago. The early years were difficult, but, profiting from their errors, maintaining sound policies and always hard-working, they slowly expanded the business. New lines were regularly added until today they operate the biggest retail independent house furnishings or- ganization in Western Canada. MR. FORST says: "Our early faith in Canada as the country in which to build a business has been confirmed and strengthened. Just as Canada is a much greater country than when we started out, so too Canadian opportunities today are much greater than ever for those now commencing their careers.t In 1939 began a cooperation in res' search never before attained in Canada.
