The Queen 5 Message
Her Majesty’s Christmas Day message was a simple and heart. warming greeting to all her subjects throughout the Commonwealth. It contained special tributes of appreci- ation to .those who have aided in achieving material progress and de- velopment—to the genius of scien- tists, inventors’and engineers—and
also to those who have striven in '
spiritual and intellectual spheres, including teachers in church. schodl and university.'She reminded her hearers that “our standard of living
' has a spiritual as well as a material , '
aspect”, and that Christmas is a time to remember this truth and to be grateful for those who add full- ness to our lives. ~
To those who may have been dis- appointed at not seeing theRoyal family on television yesterday, Her Majesty was at pains to explain the desire of herself and Prince Philip to bring up their children as nor- mally as possible, and to avoid plac- ing unfair burdens of public life upon them in their growing years. ‘ Her words went straight to parents’ hearts everywhere, and were “char- acteristic of the manher in which her whole address was delivered.
1959 will be, a busy year for adult members of the Royal family, who will travel to many parts of the Com- monwealth on various important missions. Her 'Majesty referred to her own fOrthcoming visit to Canada
Swain coal mines should be out of work for long perirwls of time While thousands of, tons of American Goal of no better quality are being im- ported.
Perhaps the Government-owned Canadian National Railways could make a contribution by - using Can< adian coal exclusively, even though it costs a bit more than the American product. That would probably mean further Government subsidies to the Railway; but these would be made up, in part at least, by a stronger economy in the coal mining areas.
While they are about it, the Gov- ernment may as well look into the Seaway’s effects on other phases of Maritime industry—the shipping business in particular. It may be that in the long run the Seaway will benefit all Canada—although there is some doubt of this; ,but that will take time, probably several years. Meanwhile, the Maritimes, which paid their-share of the costs of the Seaway, have a right to be protected against any loss of business.
Visitor From Moscow
After a lOt of consideration, the United States State Department—— with the approval of President Eisenhower, 'of course—has accept- ed the suggestion from Moscow that Soviet Deputy Anastas I. Mikoyan- visit the United States early in the new year. 'At first, according to a, Washington report, Secretary of State Dulles was a little doubtful that the visit. Would be ‘ advisable. Even now, it appears from dis- patches, he is a little wary about it.
Why should there beany hesita- non“ about Welcoming Mr. Mikoyan or any other high Soviet official to \Washington—or for that matter, to Ottawa? What harm could it pos- sibly do? Premier Khrushchev, of
United. States. wIt may be nothing more than a’propaganda‘ stunt, an- other attempt ‘ to .convince, .neutral
with Prince Philip, primarily to open ‘ opinioniof thevgeiiuineness of Rus-
the St. Lawrence Seaway but to visit
many other parts of the country as . well. Nowhere will they be more
warmly welcomed than in Prince Ed-
ward Island. In the meantime, it has
been a privilege to receive Her Ma-
jesty’s personal greetings in what
has now become a time-honored cuss
tom 'of Christmas Day broadcasting.
Heavy, Responsnbillly -
It must be said of General Char- les de Gaulle, Whoseelection“ this; week as President of France’s Fifth. Republic came as no surprise, that no one did more'for France, in the dif- ficult war years. Perhaps no one is better qualified to lead her out of her present troubles and strengthen her position in free world councils. The friends of FrancHnd they are le- gion—will Wish that new President
‘ well. They Will also trust that the new set-up is indeed a Republic and not just a military dictatorship With a republican facade. '
For years General de Gaulle has been advocating a change by which the legislative power would be separ- ated from the executive power, in the American pattern. He has suc- ceeded in that. In fact, he has suc- ceeded so well that henceforth for all practical. purposes the executive , power will be the only power. The legislative branch has been made just about useless. The President will appoint the Premier and all other ministers. He will have the power to dismiss Parliament at will. ’ He will negotiate and ratify foreign treatieSuThere isn’t much left for Parliament to do. .
Perhaps that is the kind of sys- tem that France needs today. Pre- sumably, F r e n c h m e n themselves think so; although, of course, it is possible that in their admiration of de Gaulle they overlooked possible risks of the future. ‘
Seaway Effects
Mines Minister Comtois has an- nounced that a special study of the effects of the St. Lawrence Seaway on the coal industry of the Mari- timeslwill soon be undertaken by the Federal .Cabinethhe study will be concerned partially with the manner in which the Seaway will facilitate the entry into Canada of American coal in competition with the Mari- time product.
For many years imports of Am— erican Coal, especially in the central Ganadian markets, have presented a big problem to the Maritime coal in- dustry. It is reasonable to suppose that the Seaway, with its lower transportation costs, will make the problem even bigger. What the Gov- ernment can do to restore the bal- ance remains to be seen; but certain
sia’s desire for. “peaceful co-exis- ' tence” in face of American obduracy. Or, it may be purely a business un- dertaking, in the hope that some- thing more mightbe done to stimu- late trade between the two countries, ‘Mr. Mikoyan being considered an ex“ pert in such matters. But, whatever the’reason or reasons, it might do
Mr. Mikoyan a lot of good to con- verse, with United, States’ Govern- ment officials face to face, and to see forhimself something of what goes on farfrom the iron curtain. -
, While Mr. -,Mikoyan is on this side of the Atlantic, perhaps a side trip to Ottawa could be arranged. Prime Minister Diefenbaker could tell him a lot of little things he needs to know about Ganada’s official view- point on world problems.

Our Northiond Territory
By Patrick
A' rueful history of our “might: have-beeps” could be based upon the consequences of expanion- ist ambitions of the United States over the past 175 years. Eight major land-grabs have been at— tempted at our expense during that time. We have successfully repulsed three, and are now launching our overdue but deter- mined drive to ’ repulse tlhe eighth. *
This series of attempts to snatch which Canada could ji'istly clairh, began with bound- ary settlements for the revolting
Government was unduly gener- ous at our expense. Then and in subsequent gnaibsh we lost the Maine Wedge, Lord Selkirk’s Red River Valley in great part, the Pacific northwest area now Ore- gon, and Alaska, especially the panhandle. By the war of 1812 we repulsed the Americans‘ econo- miilc pressure to take over souflh- Westenn Ontanio. In the 1880’s we held our against their aims in the southern praries. And in the 19405 we outmauoeuyered the powerful lobby to make New- Foundlamd the 49th State. *And now we, must defend our Arctic Island‘s. “A FEW ACRES 0F SNOW” For literally centuries, it1 was assumed that the title to that the unwanted area of the globe was vested in Britain by right of dis- covery. Most of that real estate. known as Rupert’s land. was owned by the Hudson’s Bay Cohmpainy. Two years after Confederation, Britain transfer- red title to the new Dominion; and Canada bought out “The Bay” for a paltry $1,500,000” in what history may prove to have been the all-time best real-est-
ate bargain.

Then for eighty years, our" Artctic was little regarded, ex- cept as the scene of international expeditious with the flavour of sporting contests, and-as the site of heroic deeds by a handful of scarlet-coated dog-sled drivers.
When the yes of other nations’
recently began to turn towards
the islands in the Arctic basin, it became evident that half a mil- lion square miles of real estate could not be “effectively occup- ied” by a mere score of represen- tatives of our law .and welfare. Yet such occupation was essen- tialin international law to pre- serve our sovereignty over our great northern empire. Our Gov- ernment uncomfortably recogniz- ed this fact but did littel to meet the need for positive action. The responsible Minister told Parli- men-t in 1950 that “development in the Canadian North is expand- ing steadily. In those far northern settlements, pioneering is not just alegend, but a living reality
At that time, the more substan- tial “living reality” on the Rus- sian side of the North Pole con- sisted of a population larger than that of our most popular province, all living north of Ed— monton. and mostly in half a hundred cities each with more
than 50,000 inhabitants, including
the capital of Moscow. Our lar- gest community in the same high latitude is Whitehorse, with a population of 5,000.
Our Government had not even compiled accurate maps of our Arctic archipelago, let alone car- ried out geophysical and other surveys. Often the captains of Canadian ships had to reply on Russian charts. When the Min- isters of the new Diel’embaker Cabinet moved into their depart-
lT’s Even True‘r Here
Montreal
An American businessman has made a speech in the United States that has much meaning for Canadians. He is Mr. Ernest R. Breech, Chairman of th e Board, Ford Motor Company. His speech was intended for Am- ericans; it was delivered before the Pittsburgh Chamber of Com- merce. But if what he says is true for the United States. it is many times truer for Canada.
Mr. Breech has just come beck from a tour of Western Europe. What he saw impressed him. And what impressed him the most was the rapid rise of European industry towards North American standards of production.
It used to be said that Europ» ean industry was behind that of North America in many ways. Factory equipment was old - fashioned. Tradition had frozen production procedures inito rigid patterns. There were too many small factories Cartels made pro- fits with sluggish methods. PASSING AWAY ‘ All this, Mr. Breech believes. is rapidly passing away, He found in Europe a keen aware- ness of the need for economies in production, for integration of industries, for mofern manager- 131 practices, for heavy invest - ment in improved plant. for com- petitive pricing, for indust r i a 1 research and innovation.
What is emerging is this: the factories of the United States will be turning out goods with high labor costs, but without machin- ery and methods sufficiently sup- erior to those of Europe to make the goods competitive.
In the steel industry the Ruhr, for example, the weekly wage of the szeelu'orkcrs is if‘Ss than one third of that of their American counterparis.

hourly rate in the United King- dom, or in Cologne in West Ger- many. Ft is $1.05 an hour. NEARJENG EQUALITY .. American machinery and me- thods have to be a great deal more efficient to make up that kind of difference in cost. But West European ma hiner-y and methods are wpproxi atin'g those of the United States. Theresults have already be - come evident. Many America it «manufacturers, instead of mak- ing goods in the United States for sale in Europe, have been establishing factories in Europe. They are selling in Europe what they are producing in Europe. if they did otherwise, their sales might die away; ANOTHER ASPECT . This Situation has another as‘ pect. If tariffs were dropped, the United States might still not be able to take much advantage of the improvement. as far as the European market is concerned. Their goods might still prove un- competitive. On the other hand, European goods. produced with equivalent methods but lower wage costs. could easily invade the domestic markets of the Unit- ed States.
ments last year, they found there maps of Canada which did not even show two islands. in heart of our Arctic, with an area larger than P.E.I. Had an airborne Rus- sian expedition landed on those islands and claimed them, they would have had strong grounds under international law.
THE VISION UNFOLDS
But the. summer of 1958 will stand out in our history, as the time when Prime Minister Dief— eubaker energetically launched our first campaign to establish our sovereignty over “our” Arc- tice rand to harness the immense natural riches awaiting us there.
The steps initiated included a complete aerial photographic sur- vey, as the foundation for the preparation of accurate maps; a geophysical survey to guide prospectors; and a survey of the coastline and continental shelf along the significant north-west border of the islands, where Rus- sian and American scientists have long been working on the slowly moving ice islands.
The most spectacular step to declare our sovereignty was the invasion of the Arctic for the first time by a sizeable Canadian force consisting of 150 ships, sp arlhead- ed by World War 111 land ng craft and by an airborne army of 1,000 stevedores. Thus our Department of Transport undertook the annual supply lift for all the American- named defence'posts in our Arc- tic shipping in 77,000 tons of food fuel and building supplies, at a cost estimated at only one-third of the price previously paid by- the Americans for the lifeblood supply. .
Finally, the foundations forour first big Arctic city at Frobisher were laidgand we announced that we will take over the U. S. Air- fields on the Dew-line.
Thus we showed the world for the first time that Canada will “effectively occupy" the Canad- ian Arctic, to assert our sovere- ignty over our northern defen- ces and our rich Amctvic minerals.
All this would be interesting, even if it were true only of the United States. But if it is true of the United States, it is twice as true of Canada. For Canada, with its small home market, does not have the base for mass pro- duction that the United States has, with all the economies which this makes possible. Nor do the wage levels in this country differ sufficiently from those of the United States to counteract the far lower European scales.
MR. COYNE’S REPORT
In his report for 1957 the Gov- ernor of the Bank of Canada, Mr. J. E. Ooyne, had this to say:
“Average hourly earnings in general continued to rise and this, in combination with the de- clining trend in output per man- hour, resulted in increased labor costs per unit of output. Compe- tition in external and domestic markets became keener than in 1956, and some Canadian pro - dlucers found it increasingly dif- ficult to meet domestic and world competition, in View of the high- er costs they were experiencing."
If the United States has reason to be worried over what it is do ing to itself with its rising costs. Canada has far more reason to be worried. especially as foreign 'trade is a far more important proportion of the trade of Can» ada, than it is of that of the United States.

Blood Pressure Test I m poria nt
By Herman N. Rondo/sen. MJ).
BLOOD pressure test is one of the most fundamental of all our medical tests.
Yet. strangely. some persons actually are afraid to have this simple test made. They don‘t fear the fabric cuff which en— circles the arm or the device holding the column of mercury by which the blood pressure is measured.
FEAR RESULTS
They often fear the results of
‘the test. They are afraid that it
may produce a high blood pres- sure reading, and they envision this as a sentence of premature death or at best a life as an in valid.
Of course this is just plain silly. llf you have high blood pressure, you and your doctor both want to know albout it so you can take the proper pre- cautionary measures.
RISES AND FALLS As a matter of fact, blood pres-
. sure rises and falls many times
during an average day. lit is low- er than normal when you arise in the morning. It rises when you eat and falls when you are sleep- ly. It rises when you worry or do something strenuous: it falls when you read a book or take a warm bath.
When you become arngry, or
local stress, your blood pre‘SSure
may increase by 50 percent teln-
porarily. ~ WHEN RELAXED
Now your doctor isn’t, par- ticularly interested in these nor- mal fluctuations; he wants to know the pressure when. you are relaxed. To get this reading he might have to take your blood pressure several times.
Just thinking about the test—— especially if you sre'one of those who fear the results—4s- often enough to produce an abnormal- ly high reading.
If you do have high blood pres- sure. don’t know it and don’t take steps to correct the condition,.any number of things might happen.
SOME POSSIBILITIES
Perhaps an. artery may rup- ture in the brain causing apo- plexy, or another may rupture in the eye, impairing your vi-
coronary thrombosis, heart trouble. Or maybe the heart will give out altogether in a vain at tempt to maintain the strenuous high pressures demanded by your body.
0n the other hand, if you do know that you have high blood oressure. you can plan a correc- ive program. Maybe you doctor will recommend that you go on a low salt diet, cut drown on fat consumption and otherwise watch your diet. .
EFFECTIVE DRUGS
Your doctor also has at his dis- posal many highly effective new- er dongs such as hexamethonium and also the tranquilizers.
Yes, the outlook for a person with high blood pressure is ex- tremely favorable—if he knows about his condition and acts to correct it.
QUESTION AND ANSWER ' J.F.S.: My doctor said the swelling in my side is a lymph node _
What is that and can it be re- moved? {
Answer: A lymph node is often miscalled a “glam ” and is a col- lection‘ of cells, very much like tonsil tissue, which filters, out in. fection from the lymph channel‘s passing through it. It may be en- larged because of infection ‘ or from some other disease.
Lymph nodes are often rem-ov- ed for microscopic examination in, order to make a diagnosis.
authorities to include as much as 60 millon acres (or roughly 94,000 square miles) covering most of northwestern Alberta northeastern British Columbia. and by others to include only a- bout 16 million acres (25,000 square miles).
The area used in this review— the portion of the Peace river drainage basin between Hudson Hepe, ‘British Columbia, where the Peace river canyon cuts through the Rockey Mountains, and Vermilion Chutes, Alberta— flalls somewhere between these two. In the census areas that correspond more or less to the settled parts of this region the population rose by roughly 50 percent. in the 10 years following the war. from somewhere be- tween 50,000 and 55,000 in 1946 to approximately 80,000 in 1956. SURGE 0F GROWTH
In this surge of growth, as in the earlier ones. improved trans- portation has been cnucial to development. The first major iurush of settlement“ followed the building of the railway north from Edmonton to High Prairie in 1914, to Peace River in 1915 and to Grand Prairie in 1916.
Prospective wheat farmers swarmed in by thousands as the railway reduced the tnansporta- tion hazards of the great stretch of rough country and “dismal spruce forest” bet-ween the Peace River country and civilization the first carload of wheat was shipped out in 1915.
Again in the late ‘Twenties, the population doubled as the "end of steel" moved gradually west ward to Hines Creek on the north side of the river and Daw- son Creck on the south.
