DOES PROSPERITY DEPEND
ON WAR?
Efforts are being made in vari-
ous quarters to dispel the fear that
Korean peace might bring on a
depression. This fear is reflected
in the increased bear influence in
the stock market—though it is
pointed out that the stock market
had a similar decline when hos-
tilities began in Korea. No--•duuht
the loss of war contracts will he
felt in some industries, but the
country will be better off . when
the vast expenditure for war
equipment is no longer necessary,
when taxes can be lowered and
when the ,pressure to higher and
higher prices eases. If some lines
of industry should be less active
others would take up the slack by
greater production of peacetime
commodities, with the incentive of.
lower prices giving opportunity
for increased sale of ordinary con-
sumer goods. Unfortunately, the
prospect of this happier condition
is not as bright as might be. For
years to come, we are told, it will
be necessary to make large defence
expenditures in face of the Red
• peril and the present generation
may never know. the •iuI1 blessings
of world peace. -
Indeed, it is rather important
that deflation should not arrive
too abruptly. The vast expendi
!hires of the post-war years have
involved a great amount of in-
debtedness in the building of
houses, schools and other construc-
tion, and if this indebtedness had
to be met with dollars of a higher
value the resources of the debtors
would be severely strained. The
prospect is that deflation will 1,e
a long-drawn-out process, a process
that if wisely governed should not
bring on any severe depression.
At any rate, we should not allow
ourselves to be obsessed with a
lear that peace means depression.
IRELAND'S
"HOMECOMING"
'it'his column a few weeks ago
had- a reference to the announce-
meat from Ireland of "An Tostal,"
the significance of which we did
not know. We are enlightened
by -a- despatch -Irons Dublin in- The
Globe and Mail, from which we
quote:
A carnival atmosphere prevails
in Dublin this . An Tostal month.
Rows of multi -colored street lights
cast bright reflectiops into the
Liffey River, turning the city night-
ly into an Irish' Venice.
An Tostal literally translated
from the Gaelic means "the nation-
'
atsself-assertion." More freely it's
simply "Homecoming."
Romantically it is the call of
the motherland, summoning sons
and daughters back to Eire for a
month of "At Home" celebration...
In cold financial terms it's a
,move to get the Irish republic's
slimmer tourist traffic under way
a month Or sd ahead of time and
perhaps to cash in a bit on early -
bird visitors headed for the Coron-
ation in London.
All over the country the people
are putting on .dances, holding
parades, producing plays and mak-
ing entertainment for visitors and
for themselves, . and it is hoped
that an increasing number of four-
iists will come as this annual cele-
bration becomes more widely
known. Historically, the first An
Tostal, we are told, occurred in
433 when St. Patrick "lighted the
Paschal Fire on the hill of Slane
sot far from Dublin --- the first
Baster fire to be lit in Ireland."
So that's what "An TostaI"
weans.

Let's hope that May will display
a warmer nature than the month
from whose cool embraces we ar..

Already there is complaint that
the Federal Government has not
definitely indicated what sort of
holiday the 2nd of June is to be.
But what is necessary beyond the
announcement that has already
been made? It is the people, in
every municipality throughout the
country, who decide what they are
going_ to do",about it; it is not for
the Government to say. If any-
one wants to go about his business
as usual on Dominion Day or
Labor Day or other holiday there.
is nothing, except possibly local
sentiment, to prevent it. Certainly
Ottawa will pay no heed to it.
Already in a great many cities,
towns and villages plans are al-
ready. well advanced for the cele-
bration of the day, and eGoderich
will be in line with a program
to mark the occasion. s

It has- been discovered that Ohio
has never been formally admitted
into statehood, although its
residents have been voting in
Federal elections and it has con-
tributed several of its sons to the
list 'of United States presidents.
Is it too late to invite it .into the
Canadian Confederation as the
eleventh Province? This is Can-
ada's century and Ohioans might
be glad to havea share in the
:glorious future ,of this country.
True, it would make an indenta-
tion in the northern U.S. boundary.,
bet this would compensate for the
dent in Canada's southern bound-
ary created when British short-
sightedness allowed the " State of
Maine to bulge up into Canadian
territory. . And, think of all the
