A iiatiye of Ix'niiiiei'!ey, Un- tariu, Mr. Ilarris is a veteran of the Second World War and before his appointment to his present respons- ible portfolio scrted as Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. He had previous experience as Parlia- mentary Assistant to the Secretary of State. and also to the Prime Min- ister, and is thus widely versed in government affairs. Mr. lIarris' ad- dress on Monday will be of Canada- wide interest. It is not likely that he will reveal any budgetary secrets. but his comments on current finan- cial problems, coming on the eve of the Dominion-Provincial conference on the tax rental agreements, should proveaof great value.

U. 5. Trade Policy

Just how "liberal" is the United States administration on the ques- tion of world trade? Docs the slo- gan "Trade Not Aid". so frequcntly quoted by the President and his ad- visens, mean anything other than a formal recognition of a sound busi- ncss theory? Is. the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act-which, it will be recalled. the President man- aged to get renewed for another three-year period. after Congress had spent several months quarrel- ling about ite-a real incentive to freer world trade. or is it nothing more than a bulky legal document of little or no practical importancc'.' If one may judge from reports which continue to come in from various sources, these questions and others like them are being pondered with increasing irritation in widely sep- arated countries.

One particiilarly it'rit;itint1 t'Vdm' pip or evcclltivc orrlcrs that st-ctn to run counter to the spirit. it" Wit tltt' Iottcr. of the Rcciprocal Trail."

If that. he the caseeand the signs do seem to point that waye-what need is there of a Reciprocal Trade Agree- ment? It would seem that normal tradc procedures could take care of it quite easily.

Big Day At Pownal

The Queens County Plowing Hatch at the MacRae farm at Pow- nal today should draw a large at. tcndimce from near and far. Organ- ized five years ago following the suc- rcps of the provincial competitions 'li Dnndas, the County match has giroxcd equally popular, and in fact Woth organizations have shown a fine spirit of co-operation in making "heir attractions of interest and edu- cational value.

It is worth recalling that at the twgiiiiiziilitin mceting of the Queens L'onnty Association on September 8. ltlfitt, Mr. W. B. Creed, the original secretary of the Dundas Match. was im-sciit and otfcred many valuable -ii-:,gc.stioti.-:. lie recalled how tlic l)undas orgaiiixation started in a sinall way. and drew upon his experi- ence to siiggest what might be done to inidie the first year of the Qua-cits county contest a success. Both malt-lies are now attended by farm- ers from all"parts of the Province, and the competition is becoming kcener every year.

For the first time in its history. the State of New Hampshire has pas- sed legislation authorizing a State sweepstake to be run on horse races.

Arab-Israeli. Conflict

Reuters Service, London

T.O.VL)U.V'. (Reuters)---The Arab- lsraelt conflict again threatening peace In the Middle East had its beginnings in the crumbling of Turkey's Ottoman empire during the First World War.

This was accompanied by the risc of Arab nationalism and the Zionist demand for a national Jewish home In British administ- ered Palestine.

The subsequent fl) years failed to reconcile Arab and Zionist claims which clashed decisively in 1948 when the modern Jewish state of Israel was born in a one- year war.

Britain gave up its 26-year mandate .il.'iy 14. I948. Disregard- ing the United Nations decision to partition Palestine between Jews and Arabs. the Jews imme- diately proclaimed the state of Israel.

The new Isracli state won in- stant de facto recognition from the United States and three days later from the Soviet Union. Within 24 hours of the proclama- tion Arab armies marched in.

The Israelis, outnumbered and attacked from all sides. fought back Fivcntunlly. they won them- solves the home they bad dream- cd of for centuries.

l)lSPI.A('F.l) PERSONS

For the modern lust tribes of Israel. the Jews displaced by Hit- ler's pcrseciition. a new desert state which they promised to make blossom was established.

But in the process nearyl 1.000.- 000 Palestine Arabs were up- rooted They were to create one of the biggest and most poignant refinzce problems of modern limos.

The Arab states. siting by dc- fcat. swore revenge. At'nIisi'icc acre:-nicnts were signed by July. 1949 through United Nnlions med- iation between Israel and the four Arab states who share com- mon frontiers with her-Egypt. Jordan. bebanon and Syria. They left an uneasy peace.

The Arab nations refused in rccogni7.e the existence of Israel and the armistlccs have never been trmislzited into real peace lluring the last six years border incidents have brought death to hundreds and plagued the strato- gic and oil-rich Middle East with bitterness. frustration and fear.

But this is only a part of thc modern tragedy of the Middle East on whose burning desert sands. hiding incalculable oil wealth. livc millions of the world's poorest people.

HOLY WAR FFTARED

In the .VIu.slI3In lands of th-. region. the cry of Johad holy war echoes. causing the gravest con- cern to the Western powers for whom the strategic and all value of the area is incstimable in their struggle to contain international communism.

Britain, France and the United States know that the political and economic convulsions that are transforming the lives of th" some 20.000000 Arabs reverberate throughout the rest of the Moslcm world. from Turkey to Indonesia.

However. despite the extreme poverty that scars the Arab world. communism has made no headway. Throughout the Middle East. the Co .3. movement is outlawed.

But in terms of military de- fence against the Communist bloc. the Arab-Israeli conflict and the anti-French movements in North Africa are major obstacle:

Graveyard Of The Atlantic

By Stewart MacLeod. Canadian Press. Halifax

The bleak, sandy face of Sable Island. battered and tossed by tides and waves, is being studied by a re- search professor who is recording its physical changes.

The shifting sands wash around the coast of the "graveyard of the Atlantic" in fierce tides, piling up around natural breakwater: and sliding away from open beaches. Now, for the first time, the island is getting a scientific study.

Prof. H. L. Cameron of the Nova Scotia research foundation has just completed an aerial photo- graphic survey of the island. 190 miles off Nova Scotia. This will be compared with a similar survey he made three years ago. The com- parison will show exactly what has happened to the face of the island during the three years.

OCEAN TRAP

The dangerous sands have al- ways been mysterious. Since rec- ords were first made, more than 500 ships and 10.000 men have been swallowed up in Sable. Some ships have been known to disappear in two days. Only eight were ever recovered.

The 26 people who live on the lonely island-all of them trans- port department employees and de- pendents-occupy a small cluster of houses away from the crashing waves and tentacle-like sandbars. But when high winds sweep across the 24-mile-long island piles of and drift up like snow. Some houses have had to be moved because of sand banks and ground move- mtlint-5. and one lighthouse has been shifted five times since 1878.

The sand washing off one side of the island. and piling up on the other is said to be moving Sable at the rate of one-eighth of a mile every year. The long finger of land is less than a mile wide for its en- tire length.

HEAVEI) FROM SANDS

After heavy storms, piece; at old wrecked ships are heaved from the sands that trapped them. Rot. ted timbers and masts, enclosed in the sand for centuries, are mu bcmg freed. Most of these pieces are tacked on the walls of an

old barn. Name-plates of dozens of ships hang in the building.

The residents who operate a weather station and radio posts spend much of their spare time hiking around Sable's hills and hul- lowg, A herd of wild ponies, de- scendants of animals that came to the island more than 200 years ago, are other residents. Nobody knows for sure how these animals got there, but historians say they were either victims of s shipwreck or put lheret for use by ship- wrecked sallors. There is also I flock of 500 sheep .

Most employees on the island are sent there for a one-year period and usually come home when their time is up. There have been several cases where they stayed out for another term. and a few other or- casions when the period wasn't ful- filled. One man got so disgusted three years ago that he jumped in a dory and began rowing to Nova Scotia. He was picked up by I passing trawler and got to Hali- fax without difficulty.

Medically Speaking

Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. HOW TO TELL WHICH EYE I8 DOING THE WORK

Many of you at one time or an- other probably have jokingly call- ed on one of your friends to "use your good eye". This might have been casioned by his missing the target in a shooting gallery. at In archery range or at some other sport.

Actually. he probably wasn't us- imz his "mind" eye.

Most of us have a dominant eye. which sights or fixes on an object seen in binocular vision. Your do- minant eye docs the main job in sighting for photography, shooting archery and other instances where you have to line up an object.

Like to find out which is your dominant eye?

It's easy. Just cut a hole one

inch in diameter in the center of a sheet of paper six inches square. Use a Pebble Take the paper in your right hand and hold it about 14 inches in front of your nose. Now take a pebble between the thumb and hold it about a foot beyond the paper Using both eyes. look through the hole at the pebble. Without moving the paper. close your left eye. If you can see the pebble. you are riglit-cycn If you can't see it. close your right eye and you'll find it is your left eye that fixes the pebble. You can't see the pebble through the hole with both eyes at the same i'llI!t' These little home lusts. suggest- ed by the Better Vision Institute will. I think, help you understand a little more about your vision.

QUESTION ANI) ANSWER

Mrs. C. W.: I have white patch- es uu my arms and neck. What causes this and is there any treat- ment for this condition?

Answer: The exact cause for leucoderma or vitiligo is not known but too much sunlight may be part- ly responsible. Heredity is thought in be a factor by some investigator

Certain drugs have been given internally, such as extracts of he thyroid and suprarenul (lands. Applying walnut Juice to the white patches is a good method of dis- guising them or the pigment around the white patches may be bleached out with a bleaching solution.

You should consult your doctor concornimztreatment.

Most Western experts believe that Soviet Russia is overpopulat- ed for its arable area. The country suffers almost everywhere from inadequate rainfall. and without the most careful sort of conserva- tion farming methods the plow- ing up of the vast grasslands of the south-eastern area could be extreme ly dangerous. A beginning of I v e r y grandiose reforestation scheme was made in 1950, but is believed to have pelered out. A vast network of fann ponds and water storage facilities, as well as summerfallowing and irrigation. would be necessary to maintain Russia's food production. A ser- ious recognition of the weakness of Soviet farm production is un- doubtedly behind the new policy of study and investigation of Weston methods. Canada has much to teach. and we are glad to do so. -Toronto Globe and Mail.
