My August, March and "THAT'S ALL WE NEED, SPUD A CARTOONIST" The Dally Ti Spring Activities Arouse New Excitement on Farms Out on the back concessions of Ontario and Durham counties, along the side-roads and the busy highways, a fundamental change is taking place these days. An'aura of excitement surrounds the awakening countryside. Pent-up energies are being re- leased in spring activities, Farmers are checking their tractors and equipment for damages of the past season. Broken harness is being mended, last year's leftovers are being cleaned out of the seed drill and great quantities of new seed grain are pouring out of fanning mills. In the sta- bles, the cattle, voluble and restless, are yearning for a change of scenery. The fall wheat is greener with the last stubborn patch of snow gone from the fields. Officially, the calendar confirms the fact that spring has arrived. The "back to the land" movement, planned and awaited for so many months, is under way and farmers are happy, regardless of more work in the off- ing. , and satisfying season. It seems particularly fitting at this time of the year for urbanites to extend a bouquet and a salute to their brothers on the farm. Those who produce the bread and the but- ter for the mouths of the rest of the world are preparing themselves with all their strength for another arduous but hopeful When all occupations are accounted for, it is indeed doubtful if there can be a more re- warding business than farming. Farmers, like everyone else these days, complain of the high cost of living, the shortage of labor, too many immigrant workers, not enough immigrant workers, archaic working condi- tions and tomorrow's weather forecast. It is their prerogative. Yet, in the final reckoning, few have more spiritually or worldly possessions than the tiller of the soil. He, himself, is the first to admit it. Journeying to church each Sunday, the devout farm family gives silent thanks that it was born into a world of honest, hard work and down-to-earth values. Time to Make an Announcement The sub-committee of the Citizens Corona- tion Celebration Committee has announced ambitious plans for the holding of a large- scale parade in honor of the occasion. These plans call for participation by military units, veterans organizations, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and any other type of organiza- tion interested in taking part. With the in- terest being taken in the parade, it ought to be one well worthy of the occasion. There is only one fly in the ointment. Be- cause of lack of knowledge as to whether June 2 will be fully observed as a coro- nation day holiday or otherwise, the com- mittee is unable to decide at what time of day the parade will be held. If there is an industrial holiday, it will be one of the fea- tures of a gigantic afternoon celebration, which the citizens' Committee has tenta- tively approved. But if our industries are to be working for the whole day, a different pattern will have to be followed, with the celebration during the evening hours. It might, of course, be possible to hold a school children's celebration in the afternoon. In fairness to the committee which is charged with the responsibility of arranging for Oshawa's coronation day celebration, it is essential that our major industries make some definite announcement, at the earliest possible date, as to what is planned in the way of working hours for June 2. The com. mittee is anxious to push forward its plans, but that is not possible until the status of the day, so far as Oshawa industries are con- cerned, is made known. Whatever the ruling of the federal government may be, the ques- tion has, in the final analysis, to be decided on the local level. Surely it is not asking too ° much to suggest that our industries co-op- erate with the committee to the extent of making their plans known, and thus per- mitting suitable celebration plans to be made. The Nation's Daily Bread Who in the world is getting the most to eat? United Nations Statistical Yearbook for 1952 shows that in top category with 8,000 er more calories per day per person are Canada, the United States, the United King- dom, The Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Sweden, Iceland, Fin- land, Argentina, Norway and Denmark. At the bottom with less than 2,000 calor- fes class are Uruguay, Belgium, Luxembourg and Western Germany. With 2,600 to 2,799 calories are France, Austria, Cuba, Czecho- slavakia, Israel, Union of South Africa and Poland. Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Italy get 2,400 to 2,699 calories per person per day. Chile, Brazil, Egypt, Colombia, Mauritius and Venezula, 2,200-2,399. Japan, Ceylon, Indo-China, and Pakistan have average supplies of 2,000 to 2,199 per person per day. Editorial Notes British newspapers have again been specu- lating on the possible return of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to Britain. If they do, it will be very much in the role of private citizens. Canada has 75 million pounds of pork on hand and the United States is loaded with 100 million pounds of butter. If only these products could be handed over to the hungry people of the world, they would serve a much more useful purpose than lying in cold storage.

DAILY AVERAGE CIRCULATION for FEBRUARY 12,004 The total calories in most cases have been maintained at or near pre-war levels, but the kind of diet has changed. Meat consump- tion in most European countries is below pre-war levels: Political and social unrest has been his- torically attributed at least partly to uncertainty or inadequacy of food supply. It may well be that world unrest will not be permanently eased until there is a closer balance in this respect between the "have" countries and the "have-nots." Not that the "haves" should be scaled down, but that the "have-nots' should be scaled up. That is the task of enlightened stateman- ship with all the technical know-how that is theirs to commmand in the countries which enjoy the higher volume per person of food production. The Colombo plan, in which Canada is taking a leading part, is an effort to.show the way. Other Editors' Views NO TOY GUNS FOR CHILDREN (Le Droit, Ottawa) For a long time children have been delighted with toy guns . . . Today these toys enjoy an extraordinary popularity. Counters are loaded with them, replete with fascinating choice. It is an odd day when you do not meet three little fellows playing at bandits, Up to a point this is all innocent and child-like. But is it wise, to let the youngsters learn the art of assassinating one another, of imitating a calling which is certainly not among the most noble? To the young, said an ancient, we should give nothing that is not excellent. WHO CHOOSES POSTAGE STAMPS (Peterborough Examiner) Why are our stamps so bad? Who chooses them? What artists are commissioned to design them? When our country possesses lithographic designers of world-wide reputation, why are our stamps de- , signed by people who obviously do not know their business? Canada's beer labels, Canada's canned-goods labels, Canada's candy-boxes, are on far higher artistic level than Canada's stamps. A Bit Of Verse AMBITIOUS LADDER But 'tis a common proof, That lowliness is young ambition's ladder, Whereto the climber upward turns his face; But when he once attains the upmost round, He then unto the ladder turns his hack, Locks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did 'ascend. --William Sha'iespeare: Julius Caesar Bible Thought And truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ . . ." "Whom God hath roised from the dead." (I John 1:8; Acts 3:18). : MPs Learn History MAC'S MUSINGS In Commons Debate OTTAWA (CP)--Commons mem. bers got a refresher course in an history Monday night. Members from many parts of the country reviewed historic events in their areas as they de- bated a government bill to set up the historic sites and monuments board on a statutory basis. The 13-member board, which recommends to the government the marking of spots where his- tory occurred, has operated un- der order-in-council for about 30 [fas Resources Minister Winters' would establish the board per- manently. The measure received third and final reading in the' Commons late Monday night, after the regular 10 p.m. adjournment hour and af- ter Works Minister Fournier, gov- ernment house leader, had ap- Jealed to members to ease up on history lessons. The discussion was still going strong up to then. During debate on the measure, Mr. Winters sald the board has recommended memorial tablets to former prime minister R. B. Ben- nett at Hopewell, N.B., his birth- place, and at Calgary, where he practised law. It also was consider- g commemoration of the birth- place of Sir Robert Borden at favorite local sons--some of whom Grand Pre, N.S. Other members put in recom- mendations for commemoration of loomed large on the national scene --or for significant events in their home ridings. H. W. Herridge (CCF--Kootenay West) called for the remembrance of these in his southern British Columbia riding: The discovery of the Columbia river by David Thompson; : The Arrow lake Indians, whose Jone survivor is a squaw; . e discovery of gold at the junction of the Pend Oreille and Columbia rivers; The discovery of base metals near Kootenay lake; The 'first organized support for the principles of socialism" in an 1895 election in that area, at San- don, B.C. The establishment of the right of labor to strike without being sued for damages, arising from a strike at Rossland, B.C. J Hugh Cavers (L--Lincoln) re- called that Fort Missisagua at Niagara-on-the-Lake played a cele- brated part in the War of 1812 and said the board should preserve and mark it, REDS NOT READY Iran's Communist Party Waits Orders By WILLIAM L. RYAN The Communists might have tried to take over Iran last July during the bloody rioting. They didn't and many were surprised. They might have tried at the end of February, but again they dn't. The Tudeh (Communist) party is biding its time and waiting for word from Moscow. There must be fear in Moscow--fear that an en- gineered coup in Iran might lead to a third world war from which Moscow is unready. The Communist party takes no important action in Iran without orders from across the border. This is one of the most important weaknesses in the party which is the strongest organized political force in Iran today. It lacks Iran- ian leadership, Financed and sup- ported by Moscew, it seems power- less to act without outside help. In the event of war Iran likely would be taken over quickly but in this nervous time of official peace the Communists seem un- ready and unwilling to try to push the country behind the Iron Curtain by internal means. However, both the Russians and the Tudeh are building toward the day when Moscow could take a gamble or seize a golden oppor- tunity. The death or overhrow of aged Mossadegh, for example, could be a signal for violence and chaos in which the Tudeh might spring to power. Beyond Iran's borders, exiled Communist leaders, schooled and directed by Moscow, operate the Tudeh party, Tribesmen under renegade Iranians train with Sovitt supervision against the possibility of invasion. \ Inside Iran thé U.S.S.R. has an elaborate espionage networly dom- inated "by an ém y in Tehran four city blocks square. The U.SB.R. has an equally large "summer" embassy in the moun- tain suburbs, staffed the year around. It has an elaborate hos- pital in Tehran, Soviet-staffed, the largest in Iran. It has a large commercial section apart from the embassy and a big information centre, Into the embassy new men are imported every week as "typists" or "translators." An official Iran- fan source expresses belief the Soviet embassy brought in 200 men in this way in the last year. These, he said, included teachers for about 200 cells in Tehran to instruct in such things as the street fighting tactics which have shown up in the outbursts of bloody rioting. The Soviet hospital, generally viewed as an important spy centre, is expensive with the most modern facilities, and definitely not a charity institution. It is the only good hospital in town. The institution began as a mili- tary hospital in 1941 during the of Moscow Soviet occupation. After the war it was headed by Prof. Baroulan, an Armenian who, Iranian sources say, headed the spy ring in Iran and outranked the Soviet ambas- sador. Baroulan was recalled in 1949. The hospital likely is under embassy supervision now. The Tudeh party is supposed to be illegal and underground, but that is a farce. Its newspapers are published regularly and Tudeh activities are as open as it is pos- sible for a *'clandestine" party's activities to be. In Moscow is Reza Radmanesh, Tudeh secretary-general. A mass kidnapping operation in 1950 took many other leaders of the party across the border into the US.S.R, They were spirited away from the prison where they were - incarcerated after an at- tempt on the life of Shah Moham- med Reza Pahlevi. The entire political picture 'in Iran is steeped in intrigue. One of the leading intriguers is Ayatul- lah Kashani, a Moslem priest «of the Shi'ite sect who apparently has ambitions to be the leader of all Islam through a revival of relig- wily mullah has his own small army of bullies to keep his ad- herents in line. Kashani has big support among the petty merch- ants supports Mossadegh. The communists are not averse to. linking up with a fanatical ielig- ious element. They did so last July in rioting which cost 200 lives, and apparently again in February. .The mullah's boys and Communists were linked by official sources in the 1951 slaying of Premier-Gen. Ali Razmara. They also were con- nected with the attack on Ahmed Qavam, pro-Western premier who was ousted at the time of last July's rioting. This is the kind of alliance the Iranian Communists will make in their drive toward power. If the National Front crumbles they will be ready to use their allies in a strike for power, Then they would i fd of the mullah Kashani first of all. FIND BODY IN LAKE TORONTO (CP)--The body of Elia Skukilin, 60-year-old German who came to Canada last year, was recovered from Lake Ontario Sat- urday night. It had been in the water about three months. Police said there were no signs of vio- lence. Skukilin worked on C. R. Moore's 'farm at Lucknow, Ont., before coming to Toronto.

Alberta Strict With Settlers EDMONTON (CP)--The coloniza~ tion branch of the Alberta govern- ment is enforcing strict selection policies to ensure the best type of settlers for farming lands opened od the government through irriga- on. Colonization of irrigated lands is one of the major responsibilities the Alberta government assumed when it agreed to participate with the federal government in the St. Mary and Milk rivers development. This development is the first of three big irrigation projects* which may be undertaken on a federal-provin- cial basis. In 1951, irrigation water was avail- able for 8,000 acres of land in the St. Mary river development, Forty- seven veterans and five other ap- plicants were examined for their suitability as irrigation farmers. Single men and married men and their wives were carefully exam- ined -and rated for age, health, agricultural experience, education, capital resources, personality and character; service record and so on Before April of that year, 14 quar- ter-sections were allotted to veter- ans and ene quarter-section to a non-veteran. This year, seven veterans and three other applicants have been examined.. Land has been allotted to eight veterans and five others. Many applicants have been ap- proved but have not yet been given land because water is not available. Upon the completion of the work now under construction, an area of about 60,000 acres will be ready for )settlement. More settlers will then be established on the land. A provincial government publica- tion says: "Great dams can be built to store water and miles of canals constructed to convey this water through the dry land but all these engineering works would be mere" monuments to the energy of man without the achievement of irriga- tion's aim--the establishment of productive farms worked by deter- Juined settlers with a faith in their uture."

And for him they do have & kind of '"'magie," e they will help Hike him to, and a new e. Nanev is typical of a small group of exiles from Soviet satellite coun- tries who are waiting in Turke for resettlement in countries whic! want immigrants. While here, they are cared for by the joint efforts of the President's Escape Pro- J gram, administered by the United States state department, the World Council of Churches and the Inter- national Refugee Committee. Much of the money and effort devoted to their care comes from the United States, but Canada, Aus- tralia and Brazil are the countries to which most of the p--at present there are 285 of them--are likely to go. Nanev hopes that in Canada he will be able to work in a vine- yard, for he is an expert in grape- growing. But he is willing to do any kind of far mwork. Finding a job in a country which is willing to take immigrants is part of the work undertaken by the joint efforts of the organizations which are caring for them. Getting a visa for that country usually takes a long time and meanwhile, many of the exiles are at work on a farm on the Asiatic shore of the Bosphorus, opposite Istanbul. But one group of 10 young men live in a hostel at Bebek, an Istan- 'bul suburb, on the European shore, as students.
