Unilateral Action The World (lotricil of ('hur('hcs, representing hi3 Prote-tunt Ortho- dov and Atiultt-.tti limiics in full coun- tries. has Just Hl'l:'lll4l-'tl a meeting

' at New llmvn. ('Il1tl. The ".lIcssaL':! l to the ('lv.titt-lies” uluch sums up the ('ount-ilk llI'”.s' and pronounce- mcnts lnijs Iv.lllZt'lll.'ll' .'ttlt'llIi:m to . the need tor a cc-.-ptlutt of nuclear tests. This purl of tlm nze.--:u:e reads: ”We ate lll-llllil in ask ourselves . yyhellter zu.) lltlllltll is Justified in cmllll1tllllLI tire twtin: of nuclear lycapsnlts while the inatgnitude of

the dangers is so little known and

while effcrtlye tut-nits of protection

against these d;w:crs are lacking.

We must ask ourselves further uhe-

ther any nation is in-tilled in de-

ciding on its own responsibility to

conduct such tests when the people

of other nations in all parts of the

world who have not agreed may

have to hear the consequences. We

, know that a compreliensive program for disarmament must proceed by stages. and we realize how much depends upon the deepening of con- fidence among nations. But we urge that as I first step governments conducting tests should forgo them It least for I trial period. either to- gether or individually. in the hope that the others will do the same, I new confidence be born and founda- tions laid for reliable agreements." The gist of this appeal is that,

t failing an agreement among the ' three nuclear powers-the United States, Russia and Britain-one of

' them should stop the tests. It may -,, have to come to that eventually. l The l'nited States, which supposedly 3 has the biggest nuclear arsenal, . - - would he the logical country to take -1 l, the

lead. Indeed, Mr. Thomas E. pl Murray. in former member of the 4- 3' United States Atomic Energy Com- ., .

mission. advocated as much a couple . 3. ',,l of years ago. He argued that there

i l would be very little risk involved. since the l'.S. would know whether

, any tests were being made by either

i of the other two.

. Reports from l.onrlon lizivc hinted that the British Government may be cnnsirlcrint: unilateral action. All things considered. it is the most likely of the three flovr-rnmcnt.s to

4 take the initiative. chiefly perhaps

because public opinion against the

tests seems to be more pronounced there than anywhere else.

Criticism Oi U.N.

Sir Winston ('lnircliill's recent criticism of thc llniled Ntttions will win approval in rnulty tpturters. "We have reached the point." he said, "where nations must contrive a sys- tem to resolve their disputes and settle them penm-lully. We have not succeeded so far in this . . . Justice cannot be a hit zmrl miss system. We cannot be content uith an ar- rangement where our new system of international laixs applies only to Those who are willin: to keep them." He was lhinkillg. of course. of last fallis events in the General Assembly when one law was applicd to Britain Ind France and another, a much less severe one. to the Soviet ,Unlon. The significance of this was that what iI called the ”moral force” of the UN. is neither moral nor force- ful. Until such time as a rule of kw founded on equity can be en- forced with or without the sanction of my purticulu bloc, the UN. must, for all practical purposes in In field of intemationel politics. ugh I feeble institution.

luv eel! Idventage may direct This should be improved."

AI things now stand. the Asian- African bloc is numerically strong enough virtually to dominate pm- ceedings in the General Assembly. And. since many of them have fallen under the spell of Soviet "anti- colonialism" propaganda, it is diffi- cult. if not impossible. for the UN. to be flrrn with the Soviet Union on any issue. This, obviously, is both impractical and foolish from the standpoint of world order.. It is al- most the same as giving a person who owns one share in a corpora- tion voting strength equal to that which is accorded one who owns a thousand shares.

Population Figures

According to the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics. Canada's popula- tion is likely to reach the 17 million mark some time next year. providt-tl immigration is not slowed down to any great extent. In the i2 months preceding last .lune l-- the latest period covered by the report -there was I gain of .3tl8.tltll), alloul half of which number was attrihutt-tl to immigration.

All Provinces :'ct'ot'dctl population gain except Saskatchcu an and Prince Edward Island. The formr-r's figures dipped slightly from 881,000 to 870,- 000. while our own poulution re- mained steady at around Slftlltifl.

Whatever justifiable reason there may be for Saskatchewan's decline. there would seem to be none at al for the situation that exists in this Province. Evidently. the natural in- crease in population is being offset by the exodus of many of our young people who go to Ontario and other areas seeking employment. Perhaps nothing can be done about this. though it is regrettable. But surely the Province should be receiving a higher proporation of desirable im- migrants. especially those who are eager to settle on farms. There are hundreds of vacant farms on this island. many of them for sale or rent, which could be and ought to be put to good use. ln some In- stances the land may have deterio- rated, but in very few cases would it he unreclaimable. in many cases It would be highly productive with I little care and attention.

The relatively few immigrants who have come here from Britain, the Netherlands and other West European countries have adapted themselves well to the new condi- tions. We need many more of them. It is incredible that our population should have to remain at loss than 100,000 when there is so much land available.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Jordanians have discovered that they need British assistance after all, despite their haste to abrogate the old treaty between the two countries. And Firilain has been magnanlmous enough to loan them more than a million pounds without interest.

The United States Comgrvss has passed I bill evtcnding barter au- thority for one year, thus pcrmitting the Administration to dispose of an additional 51 billion worth of sur- pluses. It also permits the (lovem- ment to donate S30 million worth to needy persons abroad. Since the authority was first given 33 billion worth has been disposed of.

The fact that 15 million adults and about as many children are be- ing taught to read each year should give free world leaders food for thought. In Asiatic countries especi- ally Communist agents are taking full advantage of this rapid develop- ment ln literacy. Democratic agents are said to be less zealous. Reports say that in Asia the ratio of (Tom- munist. books to democratic litera- ture is more than three to one.

German Reunification

By W. N. Ewer United Kingdom Information Service

Just lu o ycars ago. at the end of the "Summit" meeting. the heads of the governments of the Soviet l.'mon. the United King- dom. France. and thd United States - the four "occupying" . powers of the postwar period- announced that they had agreed that the settlement of the Ger- man qucstton Ind the reunifirI- non of (lc-rmIn,v. by meens of free elections. shall be carried out in conformity with the nIv tional Interests of the Gcrman people and the interest of Euro- pean Security.” The three Western Powers have adhered to that ever since. They have just reaffirmed It in I declaration made by them jointly with the Gmcrnnlent of the German Fed- eral Republic.

The Soviet Government. on the other hand. has apparently wnlulravtn its assent to the key

proposition that reunification shall be brought about by means of free elections." Al-

ready in the meeting of the Fur- eign Ministers in the autumn nf 1 Molotov announced that comt was for free elections do exist.” Since then. the Soviet leaders have gone further. They now insist.

fair of the two German Govern-

ment: that Ire now in existence

This thesis is not only I com- plete departure from the prin- ciples laid down in the Geneva Declaration; it is one which Mm- cow knows quite well to be In impossible one. For one thing. no pIrty in Western Germany- neither the Government nor the

opposition -- in prepIred to "conduct talks” with the present regime in Eastern Germany
