that Premier Btilganin and Mr.

Britain 'for a widely neraide0 .visit
which has attracted the attbntion
of the Western world. These were
the men who a short time after
the Gen'eva _ceriferenee.., made a
visit to India and .denouneed the
Western Powers to the Indian

may be the true purpose of Rus-
sian policy in relation to these
facts we have witnessed a number,
of extraordinary reversals in Rus-
sian tactics this -period. One
thinks 'of the -exchange of visits by
diplomats. and the "press; - of the
Austrian treaty with the with-
drawal from Austrian soil of Rus--

We cannot . forget either. the
point of great tension in the world
today in the hear and middle East,
which sterns from the sale by.

to Egypt and other ethmtries, It
canno' be forgotten that it still re-
mains the policy of the Kremlin
to stir up trouble against the West
where opportunity offers,•that cqn-,
centration caropi in RuSsia, are still
floprishing and that in Russian
datelite countries personal liberty
is still oppressed, However, in spite
of all these fats Canada, 'like all
Western nations faeed'with a decis-
ion such as the House was called'
upon to make, cannot in' the face
of world duty take a" deliberately
unfriendly course, Canada ,should
try to be .friendly and at the same

Now Long Can the $treams Stand It?
Last week-end saw the official
opening of the trout season, and each
year at this time we are reminded of
the fact that more and more people
are :becorning angling 'conscious arid
putting more and more pressure on
the country's fish resources. Spots
around Wingham which used to be
known only to local anglers are now
being invaded by our city cousins, as
they range farther and farther afield
in search of sport, and the same situ-
ation is being repeated in all other
parts of the country.
it's a far cry from the days of
Izaalc Walton, when angling was
known as the contemplative man's re
creation, Now everybody and his
brother has a rod in his fist, and ang.
lino' as a. sport is getting to the stage
where it ranks With baseball and hock-
ey as a national pastime.
According to crovern ,tent figures
126367 nonresident fishing licenses
were-issued in 1945, compared with an
estimated 375,000 in 1955, and • it
would' appear_ that the number of resi-
dents'Who have taken up fishing in
the same period has increased in a
siMilar ratio. Sales of fishing equip-
ment have sky rocketed (hiring the
ten years since the war, and outdoor
magazines which devote a „consider-
able amount of space to fishing, now
number their circulation in the mil-
lions.
.Sport fishing is now being touted
Nothing to Be Proud About!
as the ideal way to get away from it
all, a cure for jangled nerves, an ulcer
preventative and a panacea for all the
ills of civilization. Doctors, PsYcilia -
trista and outdoor editors are urging
overworked. businessmen to get out
and fish, and there seems to 'he some
indication that the gentle sport will
soon become known as the twentieth
century remedy for what ails you.
lt may be all that, but the fact re-
mains that it may also turn, out to
he a pretty expensive cure, same as all
the other projects these days. Al
ready millions are being spent on'
fishing rods, reels and accessories, to
say nothing of the mdre expensive
appurtenances which are necessary for
most fishermen, such as boats, trail-
ers, summer cottages, outboard mo-
tors and whatnot.
On top of that, the more fishermen
there are, the more money will have
to be spent keeping the fishermen
happy. We have no idea what it costs
at present to keep trout hatcheries
operating-,- to plant fish in hundreds
of streams in the province, to keep
branch offices and conservation' offic-
ers 'on the track of ganie law violators.
It must be rather expensive however,
and a taxpayer ,already groaning un-
der the weight of increasing taxes is
some day liable to take a dim view
of financing other people's recreation,
particularly if he's not. a fisherman
himself,

was a happy one. Pte, Ernest Greer
