A Question Oi Blame

In a statement appearinz 9159' where in today’: Guardian, Attor- ney-General McQ\18id ha! replied to an editorial published on this page yesterday under the title: “A Q1168- tion of Justice.” The editorial was based upon a Summerside report tell- ing of an “unfortunate misunder- standing” through which a man was held in jail for a week there on 5. charge which “should never have come before the court."

The main purpose of Mr. Mc- Quaid’s statement is to establish that this needless jailing did not re- suit from any failure on the part of the attorney-general’s department. or the circumstance that the office of crown prosecutor has been vacant in Prince County since July 31.

It is a pleasure to accept Mr. Mc- Quaid’s statement on this point. It is unfortunate, however, that there has not been similar clarity in ex- plaining or fixing the blame for the circumstance under which a man subsequently cleared was held in jail unnecessarily for a week.

Wherever the slip took place, and the latest suggestion is that it was a local Summerside matter, it was a bad one.

Meanwhile, if any good thing has come out of this situation, it lies in this declaration, which we accept, by Mr. McQuaid: “There will certainly be no ‘denial of justice’ to any citi- zen of this province on the part of the attorney-general’s department so long as I have charge of the admin- istration of that department.”

Consistency Lacking

'1“ bilingual question in Carcde. has cropped '1) again, this time in British Columbia.

The controversy is occasioned by the comment alleged to have ‘ en made in Vancouver last week by Mr. Noel Bazinet. secretary-general of

the French Catholic School Trustees

Association of Canada, that the con- stitutional right of French Cana- dians to bilingual education is being ignored in Canada’s most westerly province. M But the Hon. Leslie Raymond Peterson, minister of education in the Bennett government of British Golumbia, who is almost as fluent #1 French as he is in English, says Mr. Bazinet’s remarks were neither !_air nor according to fact. that his government is doing everything pos- sible to stress French as one of the ‘official languages within British _’dolumbia's education system, and

Example At Geneva

Cnmmen tatora are belatedly tak- ing note A‘ the fact that at the Gen- eva discussions on the future of Laos, Communist China participated as a full member of the conference. In the formal declaration of Laotion neu- trality, which was approved by all 14 nations at the conference, the “Peo- ple's Republic of China” was formal- ly named in the same sentence as “the United States of America."

This of course, does not consti- tute diplomatic recognition of Comm- unist China by the United States. It does constitute recognition in prac- tice, however. of the existence of Communist China as an independent state, with which it may be neces- sary to nogotiate and to agree upon international treaties. It is, in prac- tice, recognition that the Communist state is sufficiently well established. and sufficiently legitimate, to carry out an international agreement in company with the United States and 12 other countries.

Herein lies its significance. We have never been able to understand why. in the United Nations. moral barriers should be raised against Red China and not against Red Russia. The United States policy has hereto- fore been adamant on this point: but there is a growing feeling. there as elsewhere, that this is making a. dis- tinction without a difference, and a mischievous one at that.

Communist China would be better in than out of every disarmament conference as well as every session of the U.N. General Assembly. The real trouble. we fancy, stems from the anomalous position which Chiang Kai-shek's Formosan regime occu- pies, and the imagined need at Wash- ington of maintaining the fiction that this regime represents not only itself but the 600 million Chinese on the mainland as well.

Washington policy was framed years ago in the expectation of an early successfil invasion of mainland China by Chiang’s forces with Amer- ican aid. President Kennedy has never subscribed to this «idea, and re- cently has been at pains to impress upon both Chiang and Peking that an invasion attempt on either side would not be tolerated. Time now for this enlightened attitude to be reflected in Washington policy with respect to Red China's admission to the United Nations. The example set at the Gen- eva discussions may prove a signif- icant step in this direction.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A spokesman for the eighth world congress of nudist societies, meet- ing in West Germany, has declared that “our chief aim is to be finally recognized by society.” Well, not re- cognizing : nudist would be a darn difficult achievement.

THE WALL BUILDER I

SOME LESSONS FROM SPACE As New Man View New Worlds

By ADLAI E. STEVENSON. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Reproduced From the Saturday Review

"How beautiful is our earth!" ‘ exclaimed Major Gargarln as he came down from space. ‘

“Man, that view is tremen- dous!" shouted Colonel Glenn, looking at the same view.

These two men have more in common than either has with the ideologists of conquest. This is not just Pollyanna talk. Wars start in the blind, angry hearts of men. But it is hard to hate those who toil and hope and discover beside you in a com- mon hum a n venture. The Glenns of our world could be new men in a quite new sense - e new men who, having seen our little planet in a whol- ly new perspective, will be ready to accept as a profound spiritual insight the. unity of man . ' When I had the good fortune to conduct the astronauts and their families a r o u n d the United Nations, and to witness the thunderous spontaneous welcome that roared from room I to room among all the nations. i I had a sense that men such as these belong to new w- ship which could one day be a 5’ great strand in the web of peace. And I believe they felt the same. Colonel Glenn said, I recall:

"As space science and space technology grow... and become more ambitious, we shall be re- lying more and more on inter- national team work... We have an infinite amount to learn both from nature and from c a c h other. We dcvoutly hope that we will be a c to learn together and work together in peace.” IN OTHER REALMS

These are the words of o u 1' “new men — not a narrow ar- rogance, but a generous vision of the great human family. Let no obstacles. however forbid- ding. ever blind us to that vis- ion.

This same spirit must ani- mate us in other realms. I am deeply convinced that the tran- quillity of the human family in the next three or four decades depends upon bridging the great and growing gap between the wealthy, industrialized north- ern hemisphere and the under- developed, poverty-ridden south.

Afters decade fslrly sus- tained effort, we are beginning to learn that to move out of th cramped, ignorant, pre-techno- logical conditions of a static tri- bal or feudal society is fully as

_ grams under UN auspices are ‘being recognized more widely

difficult as breaking the bounds of space.

All the forces of tradition, all the gravity of ancient habits hold the nation: back. Each na- tional “capsule," small or large. has to find its own idio- syncratlc way into orbit. and a lot of them are still on the ground.

The process of modernizing nations involves an cepllona|- ly complicated and lfficult set

interlocking actions. decis- ions, and discoveries. There will therefore be delays and disap- pointments.

PRELUDE T0 SUCCESS Some projects. like 5 o m e rockets, will explode in midair. Some will take paths that were not in the plans. Yet failure is oflen the prelude to success. In the matter of international as- sistance, we can stay without doubt that we know more than we" did. Our techniques are wis- er. our sense of what we have to do more sure. Some underde-

Africa — are beginning to show

tum. This is no time to write the program off as a costly failure. We are learning by doing, and results are already beginning to show.

To those who have observed the UN for many years. let me say, also, that the peculiar merits of multilateral aid pro-

than ever. This is especially tme in the new nations of Africa. I am told that the dele- gates to the recent meetings of the UN Economic Commission for Afric a, in Addis Ababa, were unanimous and emphatic in their desire to see c become a major partner in their develnpmem program.

None of this can be if on e quickly. Changing an economy means in fact changing a whol generation of men. I doubt if that can be done in less than two decades. So I would say: Look on the fateful program of modernizing what the French call the “third world" ——- the world of the poor and disposses- sed - as on the program for probing the planets. Expect. fail- ures. Rejoice ln success. Never doubt the job can be done. In- deed it must be done if misery is not to turn to despair. despair to wars, and war to ruin I us

all. PROFOUNDER REASON

But it must also be done be- cause of a m u ch profouuder reason: for it is wrong to leave children to starve who could eat with our help. wrong to let youngsters die when medical skill can save them, wrong to leave men and women without shelter, wrong to accept for oth- ers, in the midst of our ow in abundance. the iron pains of de- grading want.

In a slack age. we can still be moved by the prospect of disci- pline and dedication, qualities evidenced by the astronauts. We can still recognize and acclaim a simplicity of doing and being -and giving from which great enterprises spring.

Perhaps there is salvation in the new image of the immense patience and discipline a n d stripping down of d e s i r e I necessary in the lives of those who are fit enough to venture into the n c w dimension of out- er space. Here we can perhaps glimpse some reflection of the kind of discipline and restraint which we all need in some measure if our generation is to achieve great tasks. not only in the upper air but here and now in this bewildered and flounder- ing world.»

[Remedy Found

For Acute ‘Gout

By Dr. Theodore B. Van Dellen CRIIIOFUL

Dr. Anthony W. Nlssen of Bro- oklyn, hl.Y.. relieved the la- flamniatory process in 1! of I victims of the discus.

u

n be- cause grlscofulvln has a chem- al structure resembling col-

chiclnc. an old reliable for more ~ acute at-

lack. Improvement occurs with- in a few days following which there is an interval of comfort lasting months or years. In con- trast to grlscofulvln. colchlclne does not have the allghcat ef-

fect upon ringworm, even in ‘

rle ones.

The beneficial effects of co!- chlclnc come from its ability to ease swelling and inflammation in the involved joint. The pain- ful and exquisitely tender big toe. for example. begins to feel better in 24 hours or less. pro- vided adequate doses are used. Griseofulvln does the same.

But the period of freedom from pain gets shorter and shor- ter and the acute attack returns in time unless the uric acid le- vel of the blood is kept down vie diet or I drug such as pro-

cid.

Tablets containing a mixture of colchlclne and probenecid are employed frequently in treating gout. The first takes care of the symptoms and the second re- duces the uric acid level. Two tablets a day of the combination decrease the period of disability and this is a small price to pay for relief from this century old

p guc. The kings of old and the fam- ous victlms of gout would have given their fortune for these modern remedies. But there is no convincing evidence that gout is caused by high living- a concept fostered by writers and cartoonists from way back when. If is a metabolic disor-

der. -

When probencciil is used, the excess uric acid is eliminated by the kidneys. Drink at least three quarts of liquid a day to keep this acid from crystallzlng in the urine and forming stones.

(Dr. Van Dellen will answer questions on medical topics if stamped, self-addressed enve- lope accompanies request.)

SOBERING UP

F.A. writes: What can you give a drunken person to sober hlm u '.’

REPLY

stimulants s u c h as coffee help occasionally and the same can be said of a cold shower or an emetic that makes the indi- vidual upchuck. Tranquillzers are more modern remedies. They quiet the individual and en- courage him to sleep it off. Oth- ers favor the older paraldehyde. chloral hydrate, or the barbitur- ates. But there is no good way to sober up a man who has had too much to drink. The alcohol is in the blood and nothing can be done to make the body elim- lnale the chemical at a faster rat
