E§ F23, 1962. Y Startling Charges ‘ President Kennedy‘s startling ad- dress last evening, charging that the Soviet military buildup in Cuba had “turned offensive” and warn- ing that there would be “a full re- taliatory response upon the Soviet Union" if any nuclear missile'is fired on any nation ill the Western hemisphere, has shaken the free world out of its complacency. He charged the Soviet Government with making false statements as to the. defensive nature of the arms build- up in Cuba, and cited chapter and verse to show that nuclear-t_vpe long range missile sites and jet bombers capable of carl-ying atomic charges are being established. ' Several of these missiles, Presi- dent Kennedy warned, could send nuclear warheads more than a thousand nautical miles. Additional sites, still under construction, were intended for missiles that could go tvviceias far and hit most of the major cities in the Western hemi- sphere. The President announced a

seven-point course of action under which the United States will ask for

2'5§.._'ei=".'.-2. Q53: 3_1ne.r:_

' an emergency meeting of the United

Nations Security Council “to take action against this latest Soviet threat to world peace.” Steps were also being taken for an immediate m e e ti n g of the Organization of American States. The United States, he said. would demand “prompt withdrawal of all offensive weapons in Cuba.” While he did not profess to speak for the other Western pow- ers, he intimated that “our allies around the world have also been alerted.”

Coming on the eve of tomorrow's 17th observance of United Nations Day, this is a chilling commentary on the precariousness of peace and the sacrifices that may yet have to be made to achieve the freedoms for which the UN. Charter stands.

The world now awaits the Soviet Meanwhile, from Ottawa Prime Minister Diefen- baker has suggested that eight non- aligned n ations be permitted to make a fact-finding visit to Cuba, to prove _or disprove Mr. Kennedy’s_ charges. He has asked Canadians “not to panic at this time” but to use the occasion for the banishment- “of those things that sometimes separate us.” Excellent advice, and aboilt all that can be offered at this

crfiipal juncture‘. A

providing revenue as well, and must‘. therefore be classed as taxes. Since Parliament has the éxclueive rights to levy taxes, an ingenious formula

was devised to meet this problem. _

The Cuatoms Tariff Act givee the Government the power to extend or withdraw from any country the benefits of Preferential or Moat Favored rates of tariffs, which are . substantially‘ below the General Tariff. This power was used to with- draw, the lower rates of tariffs from i a wide range of imports. ‘ This action raised the tariffs even higher than the Government had intended. To overcome this dif- ficulty, it went to the Financial Ad- ministration "Act, under a section of which it has power to remit any tax, fee or penalty. This power was used to remit all the tariff increases in excess of 5, 10 or 15 per cent ac- 'cording to the type of import. The Liberal and ND? members claimed that by this procedure the Government levied ta x e s without Parliament's consent. The Govern- ment replied that its acted legally under the two Acts cited. It now argues that, in any case—¢—and what- ever view may be taken of its pro- cedures—the matter was put right when the Commons rejected the Op- position motion of censure and sev- eral times voted confidence. ’ Surely, however, it should be possible to dissociate this issue from politics and get an impartial ruling. The traditional righfs and privileges of Parlament are too important to

whatever grounds of urgency at the time. It would mean setting a prece- dent that could be exploited very seriously in the future. And it is to be hoped that Prime Minister Dief- enbaker, who prides himself on be- ing a “parliamentary man”, will eventually see it in this light.

Judges ,Are Shocked

‘The coming provincial election in Newfoundland lends added inter- est to an investigation that has been going on in St. John’s by two Jus- tices of Newfoundland’s Supreme Court. It concerns the petition pre- sented by Hon. William'J. Browne, the former solicitor general ‘in the Federal Cabinet who lost his con- stituency of St. John’s West by 24 votes in the federal election‘ last June. Now he has asked that the election he declared void because he charges that 34 servicemen~who voted in his constituency ought to have cast their ballots in other ridings.

Whatever the outcome of this case may be, the justices have been appalled by the way the service vote took place. The,Chief Justice says that it was a ‘case of "scandalous checking,” and “a shocking state of affairs.”

Capt. J. P. Dewis, deputy ad- vocate general of thearmed forces, testified that a number of the ser- vicemen who voted in St. John's West actually had their residences. not only in other constituencies but even in other provinces. And the Chief Justice discovered that in other cases, where the voting ser- viceman had correctly written “St. John’s East” ‘or; the envelope in which his ballot was placed: .the word “East” had.been scratched out, and ‘~‘West" substituted.‘ ' ' This abuse of the present system of service voting may not be con- ‘fined to Newfoundland. In any case,’ it has been suggested that it should ' be given serious consideration in the next examination by Parliament of the Canada Elections Act. ‘Ee- pecially where elections are won by narrow margins, it is ‘essential- that the vote be freed from the sort of irregularities that are riow possible. ‘

« ‘ ‘AT THE CROSSROADS

OTTAWA REPOR'l' by Patrick Nicholson

lslond M.P. Plays Diplomatic Host

Heath Macquarrie, the 43- year old Progressive Conserva- tive MP. for Queens. P.E.l., has just made his social-diplo- matic debut, on the Ottawa scene.

His many years as a universi- ty professor of political science. combined with his long interest in our political history, gave him a rare acumen as a parlia- mentary rpokie here in 1957. In that year and since, P.E.l. has sent four newcomers to Ottawa, to join Angus MacLean, who was our Island—province'a lone Conservative M.P. in e days of the Liberal government. These have all deservedly won high reputations here for their parliamentary indu_stry and per- sonal popularity: Orville Phil- lips, the late John A. Macdonald and then his widow Margaret Macdonald, and —— em ent ev- en in his company Heath Macquarrie.

PROMOTION MERITED It was perhaps as much a tribute to P.E.I.'s sound repre- sentation here as to Mr. Mac- quarrie himself that he was re- ccnlly singled out by Prime Minister Diefenbalmt for politi- cal advancement. He was ap- ointed to the important posi- Jon as Parliamentary Secretary to the Secretary ‘of ‘State 1' External Affairs. That cumber- some title means, in brief, that Heath Macquarrle-is now par- liamentary aide to Hon. How- ard Green; as such, he rates as perhaps the third most import- ant of our junior ministers out- side the Cabinet, coming after the two Parliamentary Secre- taries to the Prime Minister. Mr. Macquarrie has already represented Mr. Green as act- ing leader of the Canadian dele- ga ion to -the general assem ly. of the United Nations in ew York. Last week came the first occasion. when he was called upon to act in Mr. Green‘: place as the official boat for Canadlan Government. taining here a visiting ,"vev-y important personage". This was Mr. John Tilney, M.P., whofl Mr. Macquarrie describes being his opposite number in the British government. of Mr. Tilney. , Mr. Ma-cquarrle ' arranged ‘ates dinner-since the visitor was not accompanied by his wife on his extended tour of Canada. dreadful

Yemen. Arab kingdom whose king has been deposed in an army coup. has been slowly yielding to modern times The Imam. or king, who re- portedly waa assassinated, was both temporal and spiritual rul- er of the southwestern Arabian land on the Red Sea. The fac- tion that seized power haa pro- claimed Yemen a republic. the rebels make their con- trol permanent, it will be th e end of one of the world's last absolute monarchies. It was a kingdom where criminals were summarily behea d. Some of- fenders were cloned to death. Women were kept in seclusion. Possession of alcohol was a ser-

Yemen was changing. even before the coup, the National Geographic Socie says. Tran-

clerlt kingdom of Sheba whose queen visited King Solomon -

emen is bordered by Saudi Arabia and the British protec- torate of Aden.

The‘ kingdom grew wealthy many centuries ago because of lth location one prosperous car- avan link between Africa and India When development of sea

routes cut overland trade. Ye-

meni nu came ru a shrunken domain about the size of uth Dakota.

More fertile an most of the Arabian penlnsu 3. Yemen was formerly known as Arable Fel- ix. Happy Arabia.

Yemeni farmers live in ter- raced valleys fragrant with figs. qulncea. and pomegranat- es. They also cultivate grains and vegetables and Mocha‘ cof- fee. They look with suspicion

upon their rare visitors in th e belief that ‘trangers b r l n g drought. '

Many of the five million Y menis crowd together in cities, such as the walled highland cap- -ital. San’a. of 60.000. Sky- scrapers rose there when Man- hattan had only wigwams. A 20- storey palace was built in San'a 2,000 years ago; old 10 and 12- storey buildings still stand.

The 175-mile overland trip from the coast to San'a is so rigorous that Yemenis have a saving: “How lovely you are, Sen'a, but oh! how difficult to reach!" A new road has eased the trip, and airplanes fly over the rugged terrain. _ FORCE-FED CAMELS ,

In Salfa and other cities cam- el trains pas with sacks of grain and cr es of goods. Be- fore it long journey. the drivers literally stuff food down th e animals‘ throats, because they think the beasts will not eat enough without forced feeding.

The men of Yemen wear col- orful. flowing gowns and tight- ly wound turbans. No man or boy would be seen without a curved dagger. The dagger is seldom drawn. even in anger, and a literate man may carry a fountain pen in a little pocket behind it. '

T kee awiy evil spirits, _ most Yemeni; darken their eye- lids and eyelashes with kohl. an antimony compound. Men tint their beard-' and nails with hen- na. a reddish-brown plant dye. Men kiss hands when they meet. A mat: will also kiss another of higher rank on the elbow a n d shoulder as w .
