‘This is well said, and we are sure ‘the sentiments expressed will be -heartily endorsed by the Conserva- ‘tive leader and his followers.

_ Both the Premier and the Con- Servative leader, Mr. Walter Shaw, gpoke with confidence of their pros- pects, and we commend the summar- ies of their remarks in today’s Guar- dian to the careful perusal of all our readers. Mr. Shaw’s emphasis on ag- riculture stems not only from his awareness of the importance of this matter to the Province, but from his iptimate knowledge of its problems acquired during many years as de-

puty minister of this department. —

The Premier’s remarks were more general, as was necessary in cover-

. ing various government. activities.

~ The electors are aware, of course, that many provincia! policies are car- fied out with federal assistance, and would be impossible of achievement otherwise. This meang that regard- less of other considerations, federal policies enter into this campaign. It means that the record of the Dief- enbaker Government, for example, in ite/fiscal treatment of this Province compared with that of its predeces- sors, is just as much a subject for legitimate debate as the manne? in witich the Matheson Government has expended the revenue at its dispos- al. This applies particularly to such joint schemes as roads-to-resources projects, hospital insurance, and oth- er health and socia! service measures. Doubtless we shal! hear a lot about these matters during the’ campaign, both on the credit and debit side.

Mr. Nixon In Poland

Perhaps it wasn’t such a smart

idea after. all for U.S. Vice President

Nixon’ to visit Poland. It takes a long

spoon to sup with the devil, and

this homely maxim might have a Certain application in this case. At

any rate, the enthusiastic ovation !

which Mr. Nixon received-~in ‘War-

saw—eclipsing even the reception given to Soviet Premier Khrushchev

able. The explanation appears in an edi-

torial in the Polish newspaper Slowo

Powszechny, the journal of Pax, a gevernment-backed organization de- signed to appeal to Catholics. Pax has little popularity in Poland, but its voice can usually be taken to- reflect Gommunhist thinking. Mr. Nixon's yisit, says the editorial, was in “sharp contradiction with the un- tortunate campaign (of prayer in the United States) on behalf of captive ”

“By his arrival in Poland he em- es the absolute recognition of dieting social system,” the Undoubtedly Nixon Sis giving ari accent id the normal dip-

mindful of their plight, refuses reconcile itself to their continued enslavement, and is prepared to use all peaceful means to help them achieve théir ultimate liberation.”

That the resolution was intended to be a constant goad to the Soviet Union is evident from the fact that it requested the President to issue “a similar proclamation each year until such time as freedom and de- pendence shall have been achieved for all the captive nations of the world.” This is what brought down the wrath of Premier Khrushchev on Nixon’s head in Moscow, and why the Warsaw visit of the U.S. Vice President is being hailed as a repu- diation of the “tasteless political and propaganda show” of Captive Na- tions Week, and “a wise concession to political realism.”

Unfortunately, strength is leant to the Communist taunt by the fact that the U.S. Congress has given not the slightest hint of a practical pro- gram for ending the captivity of the satellite states, in Europe or Asia, or even pf giving them a larger measure of independence and free- dom.

Meeting In London

Representatives of India and Pak- istan are meeting in London this week under auspices of the World Bank, in the hope of ’straigthening out their differences over the irriga- tion waters of the Indus River. The first order of business is to arrange for the signing of a five-year agree- ment dividing irrigation waters be- tween the two nations. Then the ne- ‘ gotiators will attempt to draw up a permanent settlement.

This conference is something of an achievement for Werld Bank President Eugene Black, who has worked tirelessly in bringing the dis- putants together. The two South Asian nations have quarreled since birth tUement of their irriga- tion dispute would clear up one ma- jor cause of their estrangement. Britain, Australia, Canada and the United States have promised finan- cial backing for the projects if In- dia and Pakistan reach a binding agreement. It is important to the free world that they do so.

By Harold

The spirit of John Foster Dul- les may <stalk the halls of the White House when President Ei- enhower and Premier Khrush- chev meet for their momentous talks in the latter-part of Sep- tember.

But that spirit may be a little bowed, a little broken.

Eisenhower placed great re- liance on his late state secretary and listened attentively to his ad- vice. Is it likely this advice is forgotten now, just three months after Dulles’ death?

Dulles was a_ hard fighter | against communism; a man whe |

: repeatedly warned against Rug |

sian delusion. He summed up his | views on a summit conference at a luncheon address 20 months ago when he said:

“The Soviet leaders would like | to use the summit talks to create

foreign ministers.

He also gave this private gathering the impression he wouldn't want to confer with Khrushchev unless Khrushchev first showed willingness to give a little in his stand in Berlin and other vital issues.

SUDDEN CHANGE

Then suddenly on Monday Eisenhower announced that for almost a month he had been ne- gotiating to get Khrushchev to come to the United States and that Khrushchev had accepted.

Had Kitrushchev given.a little?

| No, he hasn't, Eisenhower said.

But he clarified bis previous po- sition by saying he would want Khrushchev to give a little before any negotiations were opened. The September talks would be merely “exploratory.”

But the importance Eisenhower attaches to these “exploratory” talks is seen in the fact that he

| first will fly overseas to confer

with Western leader in Europe- before the talks are held. Whatever the status of the ‘‘ex- ploratory” tri:, it appears Eisenhower may have modified his position since the days of the

Nehru Faces Red Challenge

Since that time, blood has been shed more than once and 16 per- sons have been killed in a cam- paign waged by opposition poli- tical parties seeking the ouster of the Communist regime.

In finally taking a decisive step against the Reds, Nehru will be acting on the basis of a 27-page ‘charge sheet’’ presented to the presidem of India by the Kerala unit of the Congress party and alleging innumerable instances of

THE CHARGES

In brief, the charge sheet ac- | cuses Communist chief minister | E. M. S. Namboodiripad’s ad- | ministration with subverting | democracy, denying fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitu- tion, interference \with the work- img of the judiciary and deliberat- ely upsetting law and order.

It cites cases from official rec- ords to show that “systematic and ruthless’’ measures are being, taken by the state government to fashion an effettive dictatorship of the Communist party by sub- ordinating the administrative ma- chinery to the party organization a all levels. :

Mannath Padmanathan, the 83- year-old Liberation Front leader of Kerala, travelled 2,000 miles to New Delhi to appeal person ally to President Rajendra Pra-

ANOTHER VIEW

Now that the Communists have firmly rejected mid - term elec- tions, # is held that the central government would have to decide on some positive step or other, particularly in the light of the threat of renewed violence in the state.

Commentators suggest the Com- munist party has rejected : mid- term elections so that the central government would be faced with the only alternative of having to advise the president to dismiss the Red cabinet. This action, the Reds hold, would bring “dis credit” to the ruling Congress party and the Communist party could gp down a6 & “marge

imized. Madras and Mysore are comparatively free from Red in- fluence while Andhra’s Comme nists have been having a series of electoral setbacks.

The Communist party of India has denounced the move as ‘‘out- the peoples’

wishes.”*

More Senior Citizens National Geographic Society

Across the world, men and wo. | men are living longer thanks to advances in science and medi- | cal care. |

In the United States, a baby | boy born im 1900 could hope to | live only 48 years; by 1956 he could be expected to reach 67.

erage life span of American fe- males climbed from 51 to nearly 74. Notably in Engiand, the Neth- erlands, New Zealand, Norway, | and Sweden, life expectancy—at least for females—also has con- siderably surpassed the Biblical three score years and ten.

The result is an increasing pro- portion of elderly people in the populations of Western Europe, and North America. Scientists e» timate that by 1980 the over-six- | ties in Sweden and Great Brit- ain will make up nearly one-third of the voting power.

GENIUS ALERT IN 80's

With more and more people reaching the 70's and 80's, at- tention is imcreasingly focused on how to provide senior citizens with surroudings agree- able activities, and opportunities to be useful. Some prople re - main extraordinarily productive late in life. Verdi finished the opera Fabstaff at 80; Gdethe com- pleted Faust just a short time be- fore his death at 83; Sophocles wrote Oedipus Rex at 75 and Oedipus at Colonus at 89.

man is adjudged old today by ar- bitrary standards for retirement, pensions, and old-age benefits.

In the United States, Britain, Belgium Australia, Czechoslova- kia, Denmark, Finland, and Swit- zerland, old age begins at 65. In Sweden, it doesn't happen until 67. Canada, Ireland, and Norway hold it off until 70. France and New Zealand set the twilight age of 60, while Argentina puts it at a youthful 56.

Attitudes toward older people also vary widely. In China, eld- erly people hve traditionally been honored. Confucius advocated re- verence for age asa filial duty. At the other extreme, Gran Ohaco Indians of South America considered it a son's duty to kill his own father when the old man could not keep up with thes tribe.

Many countries now seek to give

elderly folk the

they need. In the past decade, Ja- pan has opened scores of homes specifically designed for them. One abode at Atami, a resort no. ted for its hot springs, houses 900 peorle.

“OLD PEOPLE'S TOWN”

Denmark has founded a spe- cia] “Old People’s Town’ in the midst bustling Copenhagen. The town gives senior citizens neces- sary services, but allows them to be as active as they wish. Re sidents may live in comfortably furnished one or two-room apart- ments at low rents. A nurse visits each home every day.

Israel has found that clubs for the aged make the difference be- tween a retirement filled with pleasure and one whiled away uselessly. At daily get-togethers

patriarchs spend productive hours |,

at hafidicrafts, gardening, and other activities. The projects not only are lucrative; they stimul- ate the elderly.into active com- munity life. What many really want is company in a normal so- ciety rather than a sheltered life.

In the United States, entire communities have been set up for ger folk. One under construc- ti r Punta Gorda on the:

rida Gulf Coast is expected te house some 300,000 people. Ib will be one of the world's larg- est planned communities.
