~A British Dilemma

As was to be expected, the cold blooded slaying of three unarmed policemen in West London last week

Federal tax law would also be vio- lated by concealing income. The state

- The death penalty was abolished rn England in November, 1965, on a -free (non-party) Commons vote. An améndment exempting the killers of policemen from its provisions was de- feated by 165 to.115. The statute is subject to review in five years’ time.

For many years British policemen

have gone unarmed, though the Home

Secretary or chief constables _can authorize the use of arms in specific emergencies. Pressure to extend this practice -is clearly going to increase, — but there appears to be little respon- sible demand for- arming the whole force. It is:argued-that such a practice would prompt many criminals to arm themselves, that it would afford more

" chance.of innocent bystanders getting

shot, and would impair the great tra- dition whereby the British policeman fs regarded as a friend of the ordin- . ary citizens.

Comparisons: are made with the United States, where some 50 armed

‘ policemen are killed each year. Only

27 British policemen. have been killed in the last half century. It could be added that in Canada, with a much smaller population, 21 were-killed in - the much shorter span between 1940 and May 25, 1965.

_“that the tradition that the criminal | ( | altogéther on grounds of their unfa-

known police superintendent, Orlando Wilson, has summed up Britain’s problem in this connection. “In Britain ‘one hopes,” he said recently,

will not be armed, as well as the law- man, will continue. The trouble ts that, it is not always the case—and then the policeman dies, or is maim- ed. Then bravery and tradition are

not enough. If, on the other hand, _

police shooting remains only isolated, it becomes-a calculated risk.to- arm a force, thus starting an escalation with unforseeable results.” ;

The consensus, as far as it is pos- sible for commentators to judge, re- mains against risking such an escala- tion of violence.

THE GREEN THUMB BOYS

Gautama Buddha prophesied that .Buddhist monks would leave the tranquillity of their monasteries 2,500 years after his death and carry his~ teach- ings to the world.

_The 2,500th anniversary of the Buddha's death was observed in 1956—- amidst a Buddhist reviv-

feving new popularity.

. The~-revival has continued. Buddhism's. strength today -is | variously -estimated—at-150 mil- lion to. 500 million peovle. One ‘authoritative source gives the figure as 162 million.”

As -new adherents: .embrace Buddism, its leaders play an increasingly important role in public affairs. In -South Viet Nam, for. example, Buddhist monks: have left their cloisters

Buddhism differs greatly from Western concepts of religion. It has ‘no creed, no god, no heaven, no savior, and no dogmas. Fol- lowers regard Buddhism as

suggests to * suffering.

Students of Buddhism emopha- ‘size that Buddhists are not de- tached dreamers who leave the disorders of this life to be re- medied in another. On the con- trary, a religion that offers no | hope of supernatural interven- | | tion in” human affairs invites ac- tion in the causes of one’s fel- | low man.

The founder of Buddhism was an Indian prince, Siddhartha Gautama, born about 560 B.C. Renouncing his riches, Siddhar- | tha Gautama wandered about | India for several years seeking the truth. In time he experienc- | ed a spiritual awakening while meditating under a tree, and rose up as the Buddha, or En- lightened One.

For 50 years the Buddha tra- veled, teaching the Eightfold | Path to nirvana, a state in which all selfish desire has been elim- inated. He founded the Sangha, or Buddhist order of monks, to carry |themessage to others.

Buddhism spread across Asia | to. Afghanistan, Ceylon, C | esia, China, and Japan. It toler- antly absorbed the gods of other religions, hence it varies consid- erably from country to country. SOKA GAKKAI

\By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen ‘-Dizziness is an unpleasant sensation. When mild, the feel-

ness, lightheadness, or a swim- ming head. In. more severe cas- es the sufferer is extremely ill and may not be able to stand | without staggering or falling to. one side or the other.

The underlying cause quently is in the ear, where the organ of equilibrium is located;

neat attack, or a blood pres- | sure: disturbance. Certain drugs | and chemicals such as quinine, arsenic, mercury, lead, aspirin, ‘and the sulfonamides will do the same. Alcohol is a frequent of-

son’ fall flat on his face Dizziness also may occur in scarlet fever, measles. za, or meningitis: as a result of the effect of toxins upon the bal- ancing mechanism of the ear. Diagnosis of a tumor or of pres- sure upon the nerve connecting the brain with the ear is a more requires careful examination of the vzer- ious sense organs and body sys-

“When the labyrinth (balanc-

may be associated with deal- ness, ringing noises, nausea, and vomiting. The underlying cause is distention or swelling of.

Some cases of dizziness have | been relieved by a_procedure as simple as the removal of im- pacted wax in the ear; others do ‘well on medicines including | dramamine, histamine, or vita- min B; still others respond to dehydrating measures to reduce | swelling of the involved tissues.

~ Aircraft Deal Criticised
