St. Johnsbury is the home of the
Fairbanks scale and has beer
famous on that account since
1887.
Crossing the border there are
fundamental differences in the
landscape. Roadside signs are ir
both French and English-as are
all others-and the farther one
progresses the more frequently
the French place-name appears
first. The barns become longitu-
dlnal in shape, painted white with
red doors. Coal is $22 to $24 a ton
hence thrifty families-and most
of them are thrifty-burn wood
exclusively cut from nearby wood
ed slopes.
Roadside shrineS, some simple
others elaborate, dot the Canadian
countryside. Almost every town
boasts it's open church and many
have beautiful altars. Love OF
color shows in the blue-roofed
houses, or bright yellow with red
trim, which must stand out in
winter with almost startling bril-
lance against the deep. snowy

MONTREAL. - Curving like a
sickle around this island city
built on terraces above it, flows
the mighty st. Lawrence River
1t is a city of great beauty and
sharp contracts as old world and
new world merge their thoughts
and ways.
Here is Mount Royal Park, said
to be the largest natural park
within the confines of any North
American city. A marvellous pano-
rama is seen from the highest
plateau: Blue and green in the
distance loom the Adirondacks
and the Green Mountains, and,
away to the north. the ancient,
gray Laurentians. Only horse
drawn "calashes" or victorias car
ry visitors to the highest OF the
panorama vantage points.
Within the city proper is the
campus of English-speaking Nc
Gill University with world-famous
schools Of law and medicine.
Upon the city's outskirts are the
strictly functional appearing
buildings of French = speaking
Montreal College. The college is
government sponsored and courses
are offered in French only for
many practical subjects. such as
guide service, as we'll as the aca-
demic courses. Students are ad-
mitted upon fair trial even If
their previous grades ordinarily
would not admit them to fully
accredited colleges.
Indian Village in 1885.
The city, which Cartier first
glimpsed as the Indian village OF
Hoochelaga in 1885, is 1000 miles
from the sea at the confluence of
the Ottawa and st. Lawrence
Rivers. Champlain established a
trading post here in 1911 when
seeking a gateway to China. The
name La Chine still fingers.
Montreal is one of the greatest
ocean ports of the North American
continent and the terminal point
of the great canal system which
brings water traffic from as far
west as Lake Superior. 1t is the
financial metropolis of Canada.
The city has something of the
flavor of London. Paris and New
York, yet has a special vitality and
atmosphere. Heard often are the
names of such trail blazers of cross
and sword as La Sale. Marquette,
DuLhut (DuluthD and Joliet, who
left their marks upon our own
country as well as upon Canada.

Airport Cab Monopoly

The only basis on which the order setting
up a taxicab monopoly at the Natonal
Airport can be justified is an assumption
that the public interest Will be better
served. It is not yet clear how the general
public will benefit by an arbitrary restrlc-
tion on the number and kind OF cabs
available to airport patrons.
Certainly Washington cab drivers and
their patrons have good cause to protest
an order which, If enforced as written, Will
prevent a customer from holding cab
after arrival at the airport pending the
picking up of tickets or baggage or the
transaction of other business at the
terminal. The order specifically states
that any car for hire not covered by the
CAA contract with Airport Transport, Inc,
may not park at the airport except Tor
the purpose of discharging passengers"
The threat of $500 fine or six months
Imprisonment hangs over the unprivileged
cab driver who cruises or stops for the
purpose of soliciting or picking up passen-
gers at the airport.
The order against soliciting passengers
is an old one, but until recently non
contract drivers were provided with a stand
near the airport loading platform, from
which point customers could summon them.
Airport officials assert that cab drivers
abused this privilege by leaving the stand
to solicit patronage. But cab drivers have
complained that airport cab controllers
have favored the contract drivers, even to
the extent in some instances of trying to
induce passengers to use only the monop-
oily cabs.
Airport authorities, in defense of the
order, say that there are sufficient contract
cabs and limousines to handle the needs
OF the public at the airport. But there
are not sufficient of these cabs and cars
available in Washington to meet the i'm
mediate needs of persons wishing to reach
the airport in hurry. Such airport
bound patrons must depend on regular
local cabs for transportation across the
river. If these cabs are prevented from
picking up return load at the airport,
1t is only to be expected that they will
charge higher rate for the trip, as COM
pensation for their loss Of revenue. Here,
again, the public would be the loser under
the order preventing unauthorized pick
ups at the airport.
Unfortunately, the cabs involved In this
controversy operate In twilight zone OF
public utility regulation. There Is no dis
interested regulatory commission to which
they may take their complaint, unless it
be the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The latter would have to increase its staff
materially to handle taxicab service and
rates between the District and nearby
counties This is another example of the
need for special Metropolitan Area Pub
lie Utilities Commission to rule on such
fringe problems as cab operations between
WASHINGTON and the airport.

Punumu Coup d'Etot

The facts that the coup d'etat in Panama
which ousted the President was bloodless
and that we regard 1t as constitutional
does not detract from its regrettable impli-
cations In the first place, 1t discloses
rather sordid condition Of Panamanian
politics And, from the broader aspect, 1T
conforms to what seems to be a growing
pattern of power seizures by the armed
forces in Latin American countries that Is
both discouraging and disquieting.
Panama is one of the smallest and least
populous of the Latin American states.
It owes its very existence to the Panama
Canal, which bisects its territory, the Canal
Zone itself being controlled by the United
States. This vital interoceanic waterway,
so vital to our strategy and economy, gives
us a special interest in the affairs OF the
Panama Republic. Conversely, the re-
public has been per1neated by American
influences for nearly half century. On
paper, Panama is full-dedged democracy,
with an excellent constitution and bill OF
rights. Yet it's political annals, OF which
the current coup is merely the latest
chapter, suggest that the spirit OF democ-
racy fails to inspire the working OF its
political institutions. Panama has had its
full share of revolutionary upsets, con-
spiracies and factionalism, combined with
jobbery and corruption. The current coup
appears to have been motivated by clash
between personalities within the dominant
political party over alleged monopolistic
practices by the heads Of the police force
When President Chanis demanded their
designations on this issue, they retaliated
by mobilizing the police and compelling his
resignation.
It should be understood that, in Panama,
the police force is equivalent to the Army,
there being no military establishment ex-
cept small presidential palace guard
designed chiefly for ceremonial purposes.
The police chief, Colonel Jose Remon, has
known how to gain the loyalty of his we'll
trained and well-armed force. And he
has already shown his "strong-man" at
tributes by the way he handled political
crises under former Presidents. From this
technically efficient and eminently success
full coup, Colonel Remon emerges as the
dominant personality in Panamanian poll
tics, Although Vice President Chiari was
promptly inducted as chief executive under
due constitutional procedure, there can b

Field Marshal Montgomery

Field Marshal Montgomery, Viscount OF
Alamein, has been in Washington before
and his present visit is not official, but
"the greatest British commander since
wellington" is none the less welcome on
this occasion. Much has happened since
he came to the United States in the
autumn of 1916 to make all the English
speaking nations of the world glad that
they are able and willing to work together.
They have common traditions and many
common objectives, shared by thousands
of Americans whose captain he was for q
while in World War II.
Time has not changed "the conqueror
of Rommel" He still is the same wiry,
active, energetic campaigner that he was
in 1910. His habitual assertiveness is unal-
tered His democratic manner some
times has been misunderstood. Not every
body comprehends his Cromwellian devo-
ton to Bible-reading, his disapproval Of
tobacco and alcohol, his sharp wit, his
unlimited confidence in his own proce-
dures. But the qualities thus listed in
variably have paid of in achievement.
When the history Of the twentieth CEN
tury finally is written in definitive terms,
the record of "Monty's" African enterprise
and his crushing of the German Seventh
Army in France are certain to be spot
lighted. His work as chief of the British
Imperial General STAFF and his work as
military head Of the five Western Euro
pean countries under the Brussels Alliance
have yielded fruit OF permanent value.
Only sixty-tWo years of age, he is by no
means retired. If difficult days lie ahead,
his help will be needed as it was in the
unforgotten past. '#
Evening star., 1949-11-22

scant doubt that the dynamic colonel is
the power behind the scenes and will profit
accordingly Appearances have been pre-
served Yet long step has been taken
away from genuine democracy toward the
authoritarian or police" state.
In all this, there is little that we can do.
AS our Secretary of State recently re-
marked, democracy cannot be imposed
from without, but must grow from within.
Yet the realities of the situation should be
recognized And they are not happy ones.
