OTTAWA. - A Canadian
cabinet minister left here
recently on a voyage to ST.
IBERIA from which. in due
course. he expects to return.
But he doesn't know how.
Fisheries Minister James
Sinclair is going to Russia
primarily to attend an inter-
national conference in Mos
COW on whaling. When his
Russian hosts asked him,
through their ambassador
here, what he would like to
see in the Soviet Union, he
chose the Pacific coast fish
cries.
Accordingly, Mr.. Sinclair
will make a 101a-day rail
journey across the Soviet
Union to Vladivostok, and
then 60 north to visit Russian
fishing fleets and shore in
stallations on the Sea Of Ok
hotsk and Kamchatka Penin-
sula.
Mr.. Sinclair, whose home is
in Vancouver, B. c., told the
Russians that he wants to re-
turn to Canada via the Pacific.
It's only about 1000 miles,
eastbound. and about four
times that far via Europe.
Mr.. Sinclair's request posed
a problem which still isn't
solved, for there are no sched-
uled passenger services out OF
Vladivostok for the Western
world
Discussing the problem with
Soviet Ambassador Dmitri
Chuvahin. Mr.. Sinclair sug-
gested taking passage on A
British tramp. but learned
that even the ubiquitous Brit

What lies ahead for the
churches In this difficult area
Is hard to predict. While
most local. State and national

stand firmly for the principle

will probably be a slow. long
process.

Vladivostok. Nor he learned,
was there much likelihood that
he could get passage on a
Russian ship to Hong Kong.
The fisheries minister then
suggested that his hosts send
him to sea on a Russian fish
ing vessel, and let him take
his chances on coming across
a Japanese fishing boat to
which he could transfer. But
the ambassador pointed out
the Russians have nothing to
do with Japanese fishermen.
Mr.. Sinclair then asked that
the Russians let a Canadian
Pacific Air Lines plane land
and pick him up, since CPA's
Vancouver-to-T Tokyo flights
pass fairly close to the ST.
berian coast. Chuvahin
thought that would be diff
cult"
Finally, Mr.. Sinclair pro-
posed that he be picked up by
Canadian destroyer--one OF
the vessels which. until the
Korean armistice. had been
busy shelling the troops of the
Peoples Republic of North
Korea just next door to vladi-
vostok.
Ambassador Chuvahin threw
up his hands--thinking. per1
haps. Of the reaction of the
North Koreans and Chinese
Reds to a friendly visit by q
Canadian destroyer at Vladi-
vostok. That was no decision
for a poor ambassador" he
said. It would have to be put
up to Moscow.
That's where the matter
rests. Until he gets TO Mos
COW, Mr.. Sinclair won't know
how he'll get home from

ton debate is heartening. As
the discussion gathers momen-
tum there appears Q conscious
effort In church circles to
probe the issue without i'm
pugning unworthy motives to
the opposition: Speakers at
the numerous local, State and
national religious gatherings
have been concentrating their
fire on the subject rather than
their opponents. Considering
the tinder-box nature of the
debate, this is no mean
achievement.

Silver Emerges Again
As Big Issue on Hill

price of silver India's purchas-
ing power had been cut in
half i. quartered in more
senses than one and
China cannot buy our bath
tubs, our shoes, our shirts.
800 million people have
been closed from our manu-
facturers, our farmers.
and are we going to rehabili-
tate their silver =. o. put
our men on the CWA for the
rest Of their lives?"
CoushIin's Plan
The answer was self-evident: !:
Raise the price of silver, ma
tionalize the bullion held by
Coughlin and his speculator
friends. and then buy like
crazy in Mexico, London,
China and India. Which is
just what we did, once the
Silver Purchase Act of 1884
was passed a few months later.
Little did 1t avail the Chinese
government protest to Wash
ington that the silver pur-
chases, draining away China's
currency as with a huge sue
ton hose. were causing depres-
sion and widespread misery.
Advised Of the repeated pro-
tests Senator Pittman pooh
poohed the alarm and from
Las Vegas wired the Treas
ury collect: Nothing should
be done to discourage the in
vestment of capital in the
mining industry -. in the
West" So nothing was done.
China simply was pushed of
the silver standard.
The 1884 Silver Purchase Act
gives silver a unique place in
monetary systems. Theoreti.
cally the United States dollar
is on the gold standard for
international purposes. But
the act cited gives as our goal
to build up our national none
tary stock Of silver until it shall
attain q value Of one fourth
the total gold and silver, unless
before then the price Of silver
reaches $1.29 an ounce. FDR
opened the mints to domestic
newly mined silver on espe-
cially favorable terms with his
1888 proclamation and others
amending and extending it;
but in 1889 the domestic sub
sidy was made statutory. It is
the aim of the pending repeal
bill to terminate both pur-
chase programs, that dating
from 1884 and the domestic
law as well.
There is q good chance that
the Senate committee will IA
vorably report out the present
bill. But that the full Senate
will also act this session Is
doubtful. Whether the matter
viii then be pushed along in
1855 remains to be seen.
Townsend's Move

Townsend. jr., Of Delaware,

the Senate, twice, his measure

operated recreational areas
including one for Negroes
which were visited by 1,236,432
persons last year. Land for
the parks-some of which was
donated by the Federal Gov
ernment-has a replacement
value today of between $40
million and $12 million.
At weeks end, the picture
was unclear. Chairman C. S.
Carter of the Conservation De-
partment expressed the belief
that summer vacations would
virtually be over before ad-
ministrative changes could be
made to comply with the court
ruling. Therefore, he guessed,
little change could be expected
for the remainder Of this sea-
son.
Open to Negroes Now?
But j. Hugh Madison, Nor
folk attorney who represented
the Negro complainants, said
he believes Judge Hoffman's
ruling Immediately opens all
parks to Negroes.
Reservations already made
and confirmed for the other
parks-except Seashore, which
has remained closed-presum-
ably would preclude use Of
these facilities by Negroes. But
no reservations are needed for
use of these areas during the
day.
Last year Seashore was Wis
tied by 222,350 persons who
paid $31,627 in fees. 1t was
exceeded in popularity only by
Hungry Mother State Park in
Southwest Virginia, which was
visited by 229,894.
Virginia went into the park
business in 1886 with the
opening of six areas, including
Seashore. 1t was not until
1850, however. that the one
for Negroes was opened. Sea-
shore is the only one border
ing the ocean.
Virginia owns more than
$4,000 acres inr public parks.
They range in size from 438
to 1905 acres.
Maintenance and operating
costs amounted to $224,l59
last year. excluding capital
outlays, which amount to
about SIS. 900 annually.
Revenues, principally from
concessions. parking, camping
and cabin fees, amounted to
$199,270. Thus, it cost the
taxpayers about $25, 900 to
operate the parks.

~ AAAsD61sA OkkfA L En-
Once again the demand for
repeal of the silver purchase
laws is being heard in the
Senate. Hearings are coming
up this week in the Senate
Banking Committee on a bill
jointly introduced by six New
England Senators and Sen
ator Paul Douglas Of Illinois.
In the Senate, silver is always
a controversial subject, whose
formula is a mixture of none
tary myth, mining subsidy and
large doses Of politics.
The politics goes right hack
to such solons at Pittman,
Wheeler. Borah, King and Od-
die; William Jennings Bryan,
Silver Dick" Bland, and to
the crime Of '73" and the
dollar Of the daddies." Ever
since World War II, when the
silver users belatedly awoke to
the fact that the silver pur-
chase program of the New
Dealers was good for getting
votes out west but bad for
manufacturers of sterling
tableware and silver nitrate for
the Photographic film indus
try, we have seen numerous
bills thrown into the hopper
by New England's spokesmen.
1t cannot be said. however,
that they have worn THEM
selves out fighting to get their
bills enacted.
If there is an outstanding
anachronism in our monetary
system it is the silver certifi-
cate, comprising most Of the
small-denomination bills we
now have. The certificate, in
vented by silyerites in 1878 be-
cause the public already then
baked at carrying cartwheels
in their pockets. offers to pay
silver dollars to the bearer on
demand. The joker is that no
one thinks Of demanding.
much less accepting, such
bullion.
Sound Money
The Eisenhower Admins
tration came into the Treas
ury Railing Sound money"
But when. last year, it was
asked what it thought of re-
pealine the silver subsidy laws
1t solemnly said such repeal
"woulc not be timely" What
lends this years hearings
more interest is the change in
the Treasury's attitude. Now
1t says it would not be dis
posed to object" to repeal; and
the Federal Reserve Board and
Commerce Department 70
along with this. Even the IN
terror Depart m e t. which
speaks for the mining indus
try, writes the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee that
the repeal bill relates primar-
ily to the monetary policy"
So the road seems opening
a bit for repeal Of q program
adopted early in FDR's ad-
ministration on stated grounds
pelpahly absurd. When the
first silver purchases were
launched by FDR's proclama-
tion ot 1888, pursuant to an
International silver agreement
illegally Negotiated at London
by Senator Key Pittman, q
London journal observed: For
sheer economic nonsense the
Presidents proclamation Would
be hard to beat"
The Rev. Charles e. Cough
lin had finger In the pie. The

radio listeners charmed with
h,s perfervid "discourses" on
silver even while-as was later
disclosed in Senate docu-
ment--he was speculating in
the metal under the name of
Amy Collins. Father Coughlin

port Of the silver market In
tile days when this program
was on the make. In q hear

Mayor S Court Problem

Members of the local board of COM
miSSionelS We're given something to
think about last week when ex-mayor
W. Horace Carter suggested they
work for an increase in the mayors
pay.
We are aware of the tremendous
Job imposed on the mayor by weekly
court sessions.
In larger cities violators have little
choice but to wait their turn in court:
however. in a town the size of Tabor
City each offender feels free To bur
den the Judge with his troubles before
the case reaches court.
Although public servants are on
call pa hours each day it seems unfair
to make their duties more complex
when it is totally unnecessary.
Regardless of any suggestions.
Mayor Cameron will find himself
plagued with the tales of woe spun
by the reckless driver who has finally
received ticket after years of operat-
ing a vehicle in a reckless manner.
