Diet's Shy Opponents

.-‘among Ontario Conservatives especially. strong pressure is build- ing up to have a secret leadership vole taken at the Crinservafive na- tional convention at Ottawa next month. One Toronto paper, tradition- ally Tory. says there might be a unanimous show of unity in public. in indorsi=.ti'on of Mr. Tliefenbaker. but "this would not alter disaffec- tlon with the leadership within the party, or among the voters. one whit; it would only keep the extent. of the disaffection hidden."

It is not suggested. mind you. that Mr. Diefenbiiker intends to have “mm,” with him to cow the con- vention into submission. or threaten it in any other violent way. Nor is It suggested that there will be wholesale bribery of the delgates to

in

siilwrirlies

’ them in line. ‘It. is just assum-

ed, by the Toronto paper and ap- parently by Ontario Tories general- ly, that the leader’: personality is so intimidating that his critics will not dare to come out of their dugouts unless their identity can be kept secret.

This is a strange situation iri- deed. almost unique in history. Wouldn't it be simpler. and more straightforward. for the malcon- tents to take Dicf down a dark al- Iey before the convention opens, and get rid of him that way? Or stab him right in the assembly forum. be- fore the crowd gathers. as his collea- gues did Julius Caesar? Then one of them could give an oration over the corpse. and the party leadership could be dul_v proclaimed vacant.

But no. says our Toronto con- temporary; it must be by ii secret ballot. Even then, It fears, John Diefenbaker might get an over- whelming vote. But at least it would offset the embarrassment of having present "the press table. the tape i'eco1‘de1's and the television cam- eras"—-on which the folks back home will be depending to know how their delegates voted. That. it seems. is the thing that must be circum- vented! It would. it is argued. give a "truer picture" if the proceedings were conducted in discreet anonym- ity, Then nobod_v‘s feelings would be hurt. and a good time would be had by all.

We can't make head or tail of this scheme. but that's the way it's sizing up. Perhaps it's none of our business, but we keep thinking that if the anti-Diefenbaker Tories are as shy as all that. the.“ °Ul2‘Ilt to quit the rough and tumble. game of politics altogether. and take up knitting.

Mr. NeI'iru's Health

The delicate state of health which is threatening Prime Minis- ter Nehru will be regretted h.V *1 host of his welI-wishers. Specula- tion has now arisen as to W110 mi8‘I'lTi assume the mantle, of leadership in India should he be forced to with- draw from the political scene.

If Mr. Nehru decides he needs a prolonged rest. he may revive the post of Deputy Prime Minister which lapsed in 1950 with the pass- ing of his colleague Vallabhbhai Patel. It appears most likely that he would select former H0me'Min- ister Shastri. who commands ii con- siderable following in the Congress Party in Parliament.

Should the Indian leader find himself incapacitated and submit. his resignation to the President. the Congress party would automati- cally have to select a new parlia- mentary leader on whom the Presi- dent would call to form a new gov- ernment. In that. eventuality, to avoid cont.rovers_v or a succession battle. it is believed the party might. first offer the leadership to Indira Gandhi, Mr. Nehru's daugh- ter.

Mrs. Gandhi would be a popular choice, indicating adherence to Nehru‘s doctrines and policies. Her stock is said to have soared in re- cent weeks. following her Afrir-an trip. However. she might decline this honor to continue looking after her father. who has been ordered by doctors to curtail his activities.

Nehru has not escaped criticism in the past by reason of his policy of neutralism in the cold war be- tween Communism and the free. world. He has been taken to task for his handling of India’s dispute with Pakistan. But In the main, his leadership of ii huge poverty-ridden nation has been acclaimed. He stands out as one of the great men of his time. a man of many talents, of commanding intellectual powers, and breadth of culture that few men in public life can claim to possess. India owes him much. and the world at. large for his example on many occasions.

EDITORIAL NOTE

An ingenious new phase of adult education is being consider- ed in t.be environs of London. Eng- land. This is a class for commuters on a morning train Into the city. Cnnsiderntitm of the plan is being given by the British railways. A coach. fitted up as a lecture room. would be added to the commuters’ train. Tutors would give a talk an route. The proposal comes from the Advisory Centre for Education. The scheme would form part of the Na- tional Extension College which the centre is organizing. ‘

CAN'T STAND NEWMAN

Sir.—-So you too have fallen for the great Peter Newman and his Liberal backing of his des- perate dislike to a great Canad- ian. Why else was this book writ- ten and in the lifetime of this great man who cannot I tr I k e back?

Did you know that Peter New- man comes from a rich family In Czekoslovakla who took ref- uge In Canada from the Nazis. Here be Is down-grading one of the flnest men of this century because of the hatred In Toron- to and the publishing companies who with Newman are trying to win this man and making a fortune. In the doing.

I know Mr. Dlefenbaker and his wife personally. having lived In Saskatoon and Prince Albert and other parts of Saskatche- wan. He la truly loved In that. Prnvuice and has done a great deal for the people who never dtd get. a square .

You know what new life he has put. into the Marltlme pic- ture and given the people some hope of gaining their last rea- ional recognltlmi by Ottawa.

No other Conservative could ever have uneeated the Liberal power and you know It. Why publish that horrid book a nd such a picture of our good friend on the front aecftou.

The result wil‘. predictably be lower costs for US products. while the prices of Canad i a n products will rise. ‘a is turn means that less Canadian goods will be sold.

This was our January bill: a hike of 1 per cent on the first $3,000 of taxable Income to pay the increase In the Old A ge Pension was put into effect by the federal govern m e n t . A hike of 2 Der cent in the sales tax. or in comparable In- crease in some other tax. w a 5 suggested from the Ontario gov- ernment.

In general. President John-1 son's first State of the Union 2 message to Congress followed i closely on predicted lines. I-Ie un-

with the program of tax cuts and civil rights. Specialized ed- ucation. job retraining and other unemployment aids were stress-

the war on poverty which he has I declared. I

But there was one surprising aspect to the address. In order to secure passage of his tax cut bill. he is pruning his 1965 bud- get In a manner more drastic by far than was anticipated. Oh- servers felt t at the President would do welt If he kept exn-an-, dltures below a hundred hlllzon dollars and did not exceed the l964 deficit of fan bllllons. In- stead. be scheduled federal spending at 597.900.000.000

recast a deficit of under five billion. or less than half that of the current year-1964

This should go some distance '11 answering objections of orth-

ed that there must be budget paring before there could be tax cuts. It wilt. dlsappolnt. those who argue that the maximum

No Nuclear News

new. But the nuclear leaue has been a good frlend to Mr. Pearson and If It la a little threadbare he loves It still. with sentimental attachment. '

A year ago he was pounding I

the Conservative Government. which fell on February 5. 1963. for falling to keep nuclear com- mitments. the dispute on which Defence Mlulster Harkneu re- elgned.

The Conservatives said that a Liberal Government would be nuclear rid of them at qulekb as poealble. Mr. Pear- aon. facing the television cam” area this weak._obllaad by any- lng that Canada's nuclear role mould be reduced III: dun aluiouah lie

Formerly. if was believed glucose In the diet stimulated the pancreas to manufacture insulin and secrete it In the blood stream. Thla ls true. b ut what happened to the insulin left over between meals? We now know It joins up with c er- tain proteins and becomes In- active. Tests show that when fasting. the normal person has little free insulin In the blood but it is loaded with the inactive bound Insulin. Glucose and fat in the diet lead to the immedl- ate separation of the bound Insu- lin so that the blood been in e is full of free insulin.

Mild diabetics have as much insulin in the blood as do n o n- diabetics. But more of If is bound rather than of the free type. When Elucnse is consum- ed. the bound lnsuiln does 11 of spllt up to become a free. us- able Insulin. There Is some-tblniz a bout a diabetic that Inter- feres with the release of free Insulin.
