Mental Health

The average. person would he more mentally healthful if he never thought about mental health but played hard, work- ed hard and practiced Cliristian charity. Jnfortunately, however, if anything is to, be done for those in poor mentril health it is essential that some people give thought to the subject. Doctors and nurses, teacli- ers and clergynien, employers and officials. must assume a certain amount of rc- sponsibility for the mental health of others no matter how much better it would be for themselves to go fishing.

The latest disappointmeiil, to which special attention is called in Mayor Stewart's tele- gram to the Prime Minister, concerns the laying off of a large number of the em- ployces of Bruce Stewart and Company, due to lack of work. By all accounts this firm has done a splendidijob in recondi- tioning naval craft for the Government. It similar work cannot be obtained, surely

in preceding years. Not all of the invest- ted Kingdom. In recent months there has been a change in the terms of the 1942 Canadian loan to the United Kingdom. Originally it provided that all Canadian dol- lars realized from the sale of British invest.- ments here would automatically apply against the loan. As a result, the 1942 loan has been largely liquidated. Recently, how- ever, the terms were changed to permit re-investment of British money in Canada in machinery, plants, etc.-butinot in Cana- dian securities. The British stake in this country is thus being preserved by being redirected into new and largely industrial undertakings.

A correspondent wants to know .liy I dont. write something about .lie Russian ”pcace offensive". well. the answer is that I have tried in this column to avoid sub- jects about which I know noth- .itg. I regret to say that the Rus-

tliesc. when the leaders of the free world and the experts In inter- national affairs admit. that they are puzzled. the rest. of us can surely to forgiven for pleading total ignorance. No one that I have heard of knows whether the new protestations mean peace or only ll new kind of preparation for even more aggressive Intentions. Perhaps Mr. Malerikov himself is not quite sure, .

Wliat. everybody knows is that lzhe semi-oriental Russian mind escapes the understanding of line kind of logic that is familiar to Western civilization. That being so, the wisest can only conjecture, For the rest. of us even that is a. waste of time and mental coiicentratlon. If we must think about It at all, vhe opinions of the acknowledged experts are about the only guides

we have. .

For myself I am Inclined be be- lieve that Senator Judd of Min- nesota knows as much as anyone about Russian Interests in 3. pos- sible Korean armistice. ,I.' happen to know Senator Judd personally and I do not think he could be called a victim of hysteria In any shape or form. When he makes a. statement on any subject con- cerning China. he speaks from con- siderable experience as 9. medical missionary in that country.

His opinion, as reported recently. is that the Communists really want peace In Korea, but only that they mlgtht. be In 1 better position to make more Intense war in Indo- Chlns snd other parts of Asia, In this view, they want to get rid of Involvement In Korea so that their might concentrate on bigger and more lucrative plunder elsewhere. This is in. simple explanation. to be sure, but coming from Senator Judd I should not be surprised I! time were to prove it correct. On the other hand. it. may turn out to be very far wrong. Senator Judd acknowledged t-hLs pmslbility in his recent statement.

Modern warfare appears to be incomplete without tales of atrocltv and the lsstest crop would seem to be particularly lurid. The odd thing about them is that they are being told mainly. t7houg'h not exclusive- ly, by Amerclan soldiers. Dr. Cooper, former bishop in Korea, has somewhat similar stories to tell. though his version is a bit less emphatic than that related by the G, I's.

some are appsreiitlv of tihe opinion that the Americans are deliberately exaggerating the situa- tion and that the others. who speak of being fairly well treated. are deliberately minimizing It, It may well be. however, that both groups are telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
