The New Warden
In accordance with long establish-
ed custom, the Warden of Huron
County is a Conservative one year, a
Liberal the next.
This year it was the Liberal's turn
and members of the County Council
on Tuesday selected as Warden for
1951, Reeve Arthur Nicholson, of
Tuckersmith.
Mr. Nicholson is commencing his
eighth term as Reeve of Tucker -
smith. In point of service, he is one
of ,if not the ranking member of the
County Council, and has served in a
conscientious and capable manner
the citizens of his township and of
the County. His election as Warden
is not only a well-deserved tribute to
himself, but is a' district honor to the
Township he represents.
Incidently Reeve Nicholson is the
fifth Huron Warden from the Town-
ship of Tuckersmith, the last being
the late Robert McKay in 1913. Other
Tuckersmith reeves who became
Warden were: " David Walker, in
1887; G. Edwin Cresswell, in 1877,
and William Chalk, 1848-53.

In his year-end statement, Presi-
dent W. A. Mather,, of tale Canadian
Pacific Railway, draws attention to
a situation which contributes great-
ly to the difficulties of settling labor
disputes.
"Nothing is more important to
Canada in the light of the present
international situation," says Mr.
Mather, "than, industrial harmony.
It is my view that much progress to-
wards that goal could be accomplish-
ed if union memhership, particularly
those connected with public service
corporations, were to be afforded the
same freedom of expression that is
given Canadian citizens in the exer-
cise of their electoral franchise. Giv-
en that opportunity and a ballot in
regard to which the issue is stated in
an unbiased manner, it should be pos-
sible to settle disputes as to wages
and working conditions by the ordin-
ary process of negotiation with re-
sort only to compulsory arbitration
in the event that matters reach the
stage where they threaten to harm
the public interest."

Snowplowing and Parking
The heavy snowfall during the
past week, which has made neces-
sary general plowing of township
and town roads, brings to the fore
once more the old question of what
to do with cars and trucks that are
left overnight on public roads by
their owners.
Municipal authorities have asked
the co-operation of motorists in en-
suring that vehicles are not parked
on the roads for long periods during
snowplowing operations. The re-
quest in most cases is accompanied
by a statement that the practise is a
controvention of the Highways
Traffic Act. Despite this, there con-
tinues to be among the motoring
fraternity an element which appears
determined to suit its own conveni-
ence regardless of the trouble it
causes the remainder of the com-
munity.
Snowplowing under the best of
conditions is difficult. Most munici-
palities are short of equipment, and
in order that all the roads of a town-
ship or town may be opened as quick-
ly as possible after a snowfall, it is
necessary for the plows to travel
without interruption. When some un-
thinking citizen parks his car or
truck on a public road during plow-
ingoperations, not only is his vehicle
a hazard to traffic, but its presence
causes delay to the plow crew. If
every motorist adopted such a selfish
attitude, it soon would put an end to
all plowing of roads.
This, of course, is not to say that
there are occasions when through no
fault of a driver, he finds it neces-
sary to leave his car. Perhaps he has
had a breakdown, or has become
stuck in the snow. These cases can-
not be helped and plow crews realize
the situation and are only too glad
to do what they can to help.
No, the motorist who causes the
trouble is the one who is too indif-
ferent or too lazy to run his car in-
to his driveway, or around a corner
into a lane. This class of motorist,
because they cater only to their own
selfish interests, cost the other tax-
payers of their municipality many
hundreds of dollars every winter as
a result of the extra time necessary
to prow the roads.

tion have no effect, the answer may

Aid to Immigration
One of the difficulties in encourag-
ing a greater flow of immigrants, to
Canada has been the reluctance on
the part of their native countries to
permit them to bring with them
sufficient money in order that they
might establish themselves here. Bri-
tain and the European countries are
short of dollars, and one of the ways
chosen to conserve dollars is to re-
strict the amount which may be tak-
en from the country.
The recently announced decision of
the Canadian Government to advance
part of their passage money to
selected British and Western Euro-
pean immigrants will serve to ease
the situation for many prospective
Canadian citizens.
As the Winnipeg. Free Press points
out, while it is good news for the
prospective immigrants themselves,
it will also be welcomed by most of
the people of this country, because
this is a time when Canada needs
and could easily absorb a much great-
er flow of immigrants.
Immigration to Canada reached
its post-war peak in 1948 when about
125,000 people entered the country.
The total for Iast year was nearly
30,000 less and in the first nine
months of 1950, it was only about
54,000.
The new Government plan is not
a hand-out. Money advanced for
passage will have to be repaid and
the applicant will have to remain in
designated employment following his
arrival here until repayment is
made. After that, he will be a free
agent, able to seek the kind of work
he is best trained for and to move
forward to full Canadian citizenship.

What Other Papers Say:
'Is the British Commonwealth
withering away? : ,
This question is asked ,by tc• C.
Wheare, Gladstone Professor of
government and public administra-
tion in the University of Oxford, in
the leading article in the current
issue of The American Political
Science Review. Pref. Wheare is
the author of the leading book on
the Statute of Westminster and of
"Federal Government
He asks the question and be
suggests an answer.
It .is, of course, easy to answer
the question in' the affirmative.
Prof. Wheare points out that the
Balfour definition of 1926 no long-
er applies. The Commonwealth has
ceased to be a group "of autono-
mous communities within the Brit-
ish Empire, equal in status, in no
way subordinate one to another
though united by a common
allegiance to the Crown" .. . etc.,
etc. Ireland is now a republic and
is no longer a member of the Com-
monwealth. India, likewise, is a
republic and remains within the
Commonwealth but without admit-
ting or owing any allegiance to the
Crown.
The Councilors' Job
(St. Marys Journal -Argus)
The municipal councillor, whether
he serve a township or a town, has
started his work for 1951 with the
inaugural meeting. We take the oc-
casion of this short writing to wish
them all well in their coming delib-
erations. The business of being a
councillor is much more complex and
demanding than many think and
sometimes this public representative
is open to severe criticism when he
takes a definite stand on a contro-
versial issue. Too, it is- a thankless
job in many ways. A man if he looks
after his municipal duties in proper
and conscientious manner, must of
necessity devote considerable time to
the municipality. Often his own
business suffers. On the other hand,
the municipal role has its bright side.
Many pleasant and even warm as-
sociations are formed and there is
the education acquired from study-
ing and practising municipal law and
administration.
.mw
Moreover there area ate, differq-
es of opinion between some of the
members. India and Pakistan have
the ;problem of Kashmir; India and
South Africa have a Long history
of trouble in regard to the treat-
ment
reatment of Indians, in South Africa,
Intereet Not Identical
"The interests of the members
are obviously not identical. The
Asian members do not give that
priority, to European affairs, which
characterizes the United Kingdom
and, in recent years, Canada.. The
Asian members may not find: it ,so
easy and natural to, co-operate with
the United States as do Canada,
Australia and New Zealand.
"There . are, however, certain
forces which push the members to-
gether. The greatest of all, .per-
haps, is the .policy of the U.S.S.R.,
which has united the Common-
wealth in peacetime more closely
than even the Nazis did. There is
a strong common belief in freedom
and independence. In fact, how-
ever, if the nature and strength of
the Commonwealth are to be un-
derstood, it is necessary to put
aside these calculations of inter-
ests . .
Same Process is Apparent
The same process is apparent in
the field of citizenship. In 1926
and, indeed, -down to 1936, the .peo-
ples of the Commonwealth were all
British subjects. Since 1936, .how-
ever, there has been a steady swing
towards creating individual citizen-
ships --a word that does not go
easily with a monarchy—and weak-
ening or abolishing) the status of
"subject."
The endeavor to maintain a
common status of British subject
in combination with a distinct sta-
tue'of citizenship in each member
has failed. Ireland first broke
away with its Citizenship Act. Un-
der Irish law, British subjects are
aliens in Ireland although by ad-
ministrative act they are placed up-
on a „substantially equal footing
with Irish citizens.
The other members of the Com-
monwealth have not discriminated
against Irish citizens. India's posi-
tion is not yet clear. India will
have its own citizenship but it
seems doubtful if a Commonwealth
category will .be adopted. By act
of 1949 the South African Parlia-
ment created a South African citi-
zenship but no category of British
subject.
Common Allegiance To Crown
"The truth about the Common-
wealth can be best expressed. by
saying that it is no more and no
less than a family or brotherhood
of nations.' It is often misunder-
stood •because people, both inside
and outside the Commonwealth, do
not grasp this fact. Sometimes they
expect it to be more than a family
—to be a firm or a federation or
an alliance.
Unity in the Commonwealth
"The Commonwealth may act so
closely together at certain times,
and has so acted in the two World
Wars, .that it •behaves with the
unity and efficiency of a federation
or an alliance; it may make econ-
omic arrangements among its
members which seem to turn it in
to a family business. But the Com-
monwealth is not pledged to such
things. Its essence is the free as
sociation of nations which have
been held together in the past by
an imperial bond and which now
hold themselves together by vol
untary agreement.
Thus while in 1926 there was a
common allegiance to the Crown
and a common status as British
subject, today there is neither com-
mon allegiance nor common status
as subjects. Prof. Wheare observes
that whereas in 1945 the population
of the Commonwealth was 87 mil-
lions, of which only 15 million were
not of British stock. today, with
Ireland out, and India, Pakistan
and Ceylon in, the total population
is 496 millions of which 427 mil-
lions are non -British. The Com-
monwealth is no longer predomin-
antly British in stock, or Christian
or white.
Prof. Wheare's answer to the
question, however, is that the Com-
monwealth is not withering away.
Here is the gist of his argument:
"Surely in their bewilderment at
this patchwork of •citizenship, peo-
ple outside the Commonwealth may
be pardoned if they ask: 'If you
have no common stock, no common
form of government, no common
allegiance, no common citizenship,
and if you extend to citizens of
Eire outside the Commonwealth
rights which belong to those in-
side, what really is left that is com-
mon is your Commonwealth? It
is a fair question, and it is diffi-
cult to answer.
"Not that there is any doubt
about the answer. The members of
the Commonwealth are working
more closely andmore harmonious-
ly together today than at any pre-
vious time in a period of peace,
and indeed at many periods during
the war. It is a most extraordin-
ary thing. And it 1s not easy to
explain.
"On the one side it is undeniable
that the Commonwealth is a more
difficult association to work now
than it was in 1945. Inevitably the
change in its racial composition
and its political structure has,
brought problems of adjustment.
"But if the Commonwealth is no
more than a family of mations, it
is also no less. The strength of
this tie has been strikingly dis
played in the last five years, and
perhaps never more so than in In
dia's decision to remain linked with
the other members. It was illus
trated, too, paradoxically enough
when Eire decided to leave the
Commonwealth. The members of
the Commonwealth virtually said to
Eire: 'You may , renounce your
family, but we shall still treat you
as one of us. We cannot regard
you as strangers.' And Eire pro-
poses to behave in a similar way.

"Perhaps the best wayy in which
the Commonwealth's nature and

words adopted by the members in

India's continuing membership as

statement with these words:
"'Accordingly the United King-
dom, Canada, Australia, New Zea-

Canadian Poultry Popular
Because of its quality and at-
tractive package appearance, Cp-
adian dressed poultry had made a
place for itself even before the last
war on the British market in spite
of keen European competition. In
recent years, however, only about
eight per cent of the annual 300
million pounds usually produced in:
Canada has found its way to the
export market, as there has been
a keen demand. at good prices for
quality , poultry products on the
domestic market.
In the opinion of officials close-
ly associated with the dressed poul-
try industry, the future expansion
of both tihd export and domestic
market depends to a great, extent
on further improving quality by
giving more attention to finishing
and to improved packaging of the
product being sold to the consum-
er.
