This has led some of our countries, notably Canada and the United States, to introduce restrictions and tariffs on goods from other countries in order to protect domestic producers. Just as the Americans used the quota re- The Cuban Revolution The Spectator for this week features an article about Fidel Castro. In it he is pictured as a dreamer of dreams, a skilled guerilla leader, and no end of a show-off. As a peasant leader he is committed to land _ reform and the expropriation of foreign assets--mosttly Amercan. These expropriations have outraged, American business-men who have raced t ton shouting "Commie". However, Dr. Gastro is no Communist even though many of 'his more bloody-minded advisors un- doubtedly are. : But it is difficult to see just how Castro does intend to bring about the reforms and the much needed changes in Cuba. He replaces a dictatorship' supported by city workers and the army and their interests do not. coincide with those of the peasants who endured much under Baptisa's regime. - At the moment, Castro has managed to hold things in check with his flair for public pagentry and showmanship. He is still a very popular hero in spite of the Washing-. unite us than all the atomic missiles that were ever dreamed up. Free trade would lead to solid economic growth and expan- sion for all free people. It would mean that we could dispense with much of the economic aid that is being so wilfully mis- used by corrupt and inefficient administra- tors. It would mean a rallying cry for all free people. a There is only one argument that can be used against it . . . . the selfish one in- dividual and national greed. But unless we can learn to think of others as well as ourselves there will be no future anyway. fact that his methods and his actions have tended to dismay and alienate the more humane and liberal minded of his support- ers, But the introduction of land reform is not an easy thing to bring off. In Russia, in China, almost everywhere in fact the move to bring about land reform has led to bitter and bloody strife. There is little gicaiion that it will come peaceably in a. - Nor does this solve the other serious problems of Cuba Land reform simply marks the beginning of a long and hard campaign in the struggle to build up a secure and stable economy. So far Castro has shown little of the leadership required for such a task. Nor do his advisors measure up to the cause they pursue. It is probable that Cuba has exchanged a bad dictator for a good clown, Is she any better off? ' 120 children to get out of the path PREPARING FIRE BY-LAW FOR UXBRIDGE TOWNSHIP .......... A by-law is being prepared which would make it illegal to set a fire on any highway or road in the Township of Uxbridge as well as on 'any property unless a permit is secured from the fire chief serving the locality. Mr. Armstrong of the Department of Lands and Forests spoke to the Ux- bridge council meeting Monday night concerning the control of fires. He said that while many people look District Doings of Bowmanville Town Council. No member of the press was present be- cause notice had not been given that a meeting of Town Council would be held.

A strip of 90 feet in depth has beeen se- sured from Mr. Phelps, thus bringing a large area of new property into the confines of the fair grounds. - It is understood that this entire new area, combined with vacant land which was formerly used for various dis- plays, will be used for an enlarged Dairy Show, The switching of the Dairy Show to Max Ferguson has to be careful not to forget his schedule.

In Granby all policemen are covered by a collective agreement, which requires them to be members of the policemen's union. A union rule prohibits policemen from answering fire calls outside working hours on pain of expulsion from the union. Union expelled police sergeant Val- more Viens for helping to battle a blaze while he was on holiday. Granby City Council, at meeting to be held early in September, must becide whether Mr. Viens is also to be de- prived of his job because he violated a stupid union rule, Most people will agree with Mr. Viens when he says: "It was my duty not only as an officer of the law but also as a good citizen to go to the aid of 60 persons whose lives were in danger. I don't work for the Policemen's Brotherhood, but for the people of Granby and the Granby Council." Policemen and other public officials should not be required to join a union in any circumstances.
