New Text-Book Material

Although neither Britain nor West Germanyhas yet recovered fully from the Second World War, and while both coun- tries are preoccupied with measures to ward off World War Three-or to escape defeat and destruction, should it be forced upon them-historians of both countries are looking back to World War One to see what it was that led to Anglo-German estrangement in 1914. At a conference in Goslar, West Germany, they came up with

Woertain agreements and conclusions, which will now be distributed to text-book writers and publishers in the hope that young peo- ple in both countries will advance towards a greater measure of mutual respect and understanding.

If and when the historians' views are accepted and incorporated into the school books. the old British assumption that German militarists started the war in or- der to make their nation the master of all 'Europe, and eventually of the world, will become obsolete; so will the German belief 'that Britain took the lead in form.ing al- lilances aimed at the oncirclement of Ger- many and the lthwarting of her commercial and colonial rights. The report says that, although tillers had been much unneces- sary commercial rivalry between the two countries, this was not the cause of war. In their own words: "Neither the British nor the German Government allowed com- mercial competition to determine policy." -What was it then that brought them into conflict? It was fear-fear of each oth- nr's growing military power which, appar- nntlvy, no statasrnan in either country was wise enough to keep under control, and

nlotgei out of bounds. In short, the whole lthing was s mistalse, which I little more understanding of each other": problems would have prevented. (No mention was made of the Second War. Presumably, it In still boo near for proper historical ap- pmiasl.) It all sounth very simple; and, no doubt, lthe purpose behind the historians views is -very good and proper. It can be expect- ed, however, that tlhere will be plenty of discussion about the conclusions before they are finally given places in the books.

Troops and businessmen find the change welcome.

Behind the withdrawing forces the Suez Canal still stands as one of the world's most strategic waterways. It was completed in 1869 by Ferdinand lDe Les- seps, a former French consul in Egypt, and fulfilled a centuries-old commercial dream i of a route between the East and the West f joining the Red Sea and Mediterranean.

Marolru'ng feet, roaring plane motors and the husky blasts of outgoing ship whistles proclaim an epic "moving day" task as the Bnitish abandon occupation of the Suez Canal Zone. Leave-taking time extends for 20 months from last October under British-Egyptian agreement. The British are departing a sizable desertlike area stretching 90 miles from Suez on the Gulf of Suez northward to Port Said on the Mediterranean. In the irregular zone are extensive military installations. One depot was reported stocked with enough dehydrated vegetables to feed 80,000 men for nine months. dromes and acres covered with tanks and trllcks. At desolate sandy El Tell cl Kcbir occupation forces installed a supply depot encircled by a 17-mile barbed-wire fence. One of the world's largest tent cities, multiple millions of dollars worth of military stores. 80,000 troops and 37 major installations are elements of the "moving day" headache. These elements have ac- ctunulated since 1951 when Egypt abrogat- ed the 1936 trea-ty which permitted Brit- ish occupation.

Under the October, 1954, the British have already quit the Suez area, the southernmost zone. The first stage, ending in February, saw a general withdrawal of over 22 per cent of the forces. Eight troop ships in regular calls at Port Said have embarked 13 major units. From Suez several thousand East African and Mauritian pioneers have bade Egypt goodbye. ,'I'hirteen military camps have been sold and others are in prepar- ation for sale.

It has also been estimated that radiation from n medium-sized hy- drogen bomb one hour after the uploslon and covering an area of some 250 square miles is 2,500 roentgens per hour.

The U.S. Atomic Energy Oom- missioa has made public figures on fallout and roentgen dosage from the March 1, 1954. blast at Bikini of a bomb believed to have yielded 3 megatons, the equivalent of 33,- 000.000 tons of TNT.

Ten miles downylind from the OK- plosion, the radiation dosa e was about 5,000 roentgens for t first 86 hours after the fallout. Some 100 miles from the point of detona- tion, the dosage was 2,300 roent- gens for 36 hours; at 110 miles. 2,000 roentgens; at 125 miles, 1,- 000 roentgens: at 100 miles, about 500 roentgens; at 190 miles. 300 roentgnns. -

Your youngster suck his thumb for ,the rest of his life. He'll stop. eventually. of his own free will. Don't worry about that. But if the habit con- tinues as he grows older. it should be curbed.

Cured at school '

If he still sucks his thumb by the time he enters school. he will be ridiculed by the other children and that will make him drop the habit fast. This isn't the best cure. I0 be sure. but it's effective. I think. though. you'll want to break him of ham long before he is of school age.

I don't believe you'll have much luck with mechanical devices such as mittens, cuffs. thumb-guards or adheslve tape. Putting blttar-tut- lng substances. on your young- ster's thumbs won't do much good either. Instead of correcting the u-ouble. these things might make your child want to suck even more. scolding or nagging an older child won't cure him and might only make him unhappy and feel guilty. Keep Elm Busy .

You've got to determine the thumb-sucking. I think you'll usually find a child of one. two or three, or even older. will suck "his thumb when he's bored or tired. Maybe he's playing

COMMUNIUF MORALITY

Sir,-I would like to point out that the comments in an adibonnl of Friday, April .22. to the effect that the Chinese Communists would improvs matters ly practicing what they preach are naive and betray a misunderstanding of Com- munlst morality. Briefly. for a Communist there is only one right -that which serves the party's aim at world domination. The Communists themselves. in partic- ular Lenin. have preached this. Therefore, how can you blame I man for not obeying the dictates of objective morality when he doesn't believe is an objective morality? Its like telling a man he'll taking the wrong road to soul-ls when he wants to get. to Summersidu. When the Commun- ists mnke promises and then break

peace while at the same time they are fighting a war. they are being perfectly consistent from the point of view of their perverted morality, and. paradoxically, are in fact practising what Ithey preach.
