I. Still Unconsoled

Mr. Pearson has been frustrated in his Wish to share the limelight in a televised deoale with Prime .\lin— inter Diefenliaker, anti he has taken the rebuff rather badly. Consolation was at hand. but the Liberal ' tier hasn't. accepted it. This came in the form of a telegram from the Social Credit party leader, Mr. Thompson, urging him not to be "too unhappy" but to come and share with him. Mr. Thompson, his TV allotment on CBC and debate any subject of ita- tional lnltwl‘lant‘c he liked. He could men have the privilege of nominal. lng the moderator. Nothing doing!

Nor has .\ir. Pearson shown any desire to intlorsc the contention of Mr. Tommy Douglas, the Nov Democratic Party loader, that such debates, to be of any value. should include all four party leaders now seeking CttLlllll“\‘-\\'itlf> support. The Liberal leader aiipoars to he under the impression that he still en; vs the status of Opposition Leader in the House of (‘ommons (which he lost when Parlianwnt \tns dissolvcd) and not mot't'ly that of l(‘.'lll(‘l' of one of the partie< in opposition to the government of the day. His attitude is that any telcvision and radio de- hate in the election campaign shoul be limited to the Conservative and Liberal parties. Only these parties, he contends. are capable of forming a government and of providing lead- ers for a public debate.

It is odd. in the circumstances. that Mr. Dicfenbaker should be charged with being arrogant and presumption; by the Liberal party leader. The shoe. surely, is on the other foot.

Regardless of which party ""'is .

In the coming contest. they are all on a par until the electors pass judg- ment. That includes Mr. Diefen- baker's party. of course. But he hap- pens still to he the Prime Minister of Canada and head of its govern- ment as well as leader of his party, Ind he must conduct himself ac- cordingly. He has done so in this in- ﬂow. by refusing to draw invid- Ioua distinctions between the rival party leaders. That. we imagine. would be Mr. Pt-arsnlt's attitude if he were in the same positirm. But he kn't. and it is unfortunate. that he has allowed his perspective to be warped by this circumstance.

The Washington Talks

As Prime Minister Macmillan re- marked in London the other day. discussions with (‘ommonwealth V'countries on the European Com- mon Market question an pmued- ptg in an informal manner. And it h quite informally that the matter

now being discussed between

and Prime Minister Diofen- patm at Ottawa. n is hardly a» in W that Britain will have any- .“ new to say until its negotia-

_ [woody at Washington. _ 'hﬂﬁa, Daft-ire of a courtesy

vague as to details, but it h rumored that the two western gov- arnments believe the international situation may actually improve at. for the American and Russian tests have taken place.

"Russian tests”, we say; for there is little doubt as to a Russian decision to carry out additional tests. following the US. shots. But, most significantly, the western lenders will refuse to consider these as "new tests." They will regard them as the “fag-end of the last series". an is an "extension" of the earlier tests. This reasoning is important as pro- viding a key to future American and British policy.

President Kennedy and Prime Minister Macmillan wish to avoid a situation which could lead to a spiralling arms race and to an end- less cycle of nuclear tests. They be- lieve that it is technically 4- ‘- sihlc for Russia so soon after its re- cent tests to prepare the devices and equipment for a new and im- portant series of tests. The two governments are therefore pie- paring to argue that the time has come for another diplomatic at- tempt to reach agreement on a nu- clear test ban. On this basis they are ready to go a long way in meet- ing Russia's fears that internation- al inspection will lead to espionage on Soviet territory.

The basis of this optimism is the time factor involved in fully absorbing the knowledge gained from the current nuclear tests. This is estimated at between 12 and 18 months. During this pcriotl the ex- perts will he laying plans for yet an- other series of tests; but the politi- cal leadch will be using the same period of time to launch a diplomat- ic to win the C(Hlpel‘ﬂlllbn of Russia in averting a continuation of the dangerous nu- clear race.

This. unofficially. has leaked out as the real purpose of the Kennedy- Marmillan talks at this time. The leaders had only 36 hours for their conference. but the urgency of the tinngcr gave depth to their dclilwr- ations and may lead to great. decis- ions.

Losing Our Own

A bulletin published by the Economics and Research Branch of the Department of Labor under- lines the serious problem of retain- ing. in this country. those who are trained in the professons. The per- centage of professionals in this cate- gory is rising. and has averaged nearly 12 per cent for the last. few years.

The trained people Canada lost to the United States from 1950 to 1960 were. in order of numbers, graduate nurses. leachcrs and pro- fessors. accountants. draughtsmen and designers. physicians and sur- geons. mechanical engineers. archi- tects. metallurgical engineers. den- tists. mining engineer. The total was 42.014.

The reasons for this loss of trained Canadians to the United States are many: but the chief one is no doubt the economic attraction wuthwards. increased by gmgra- phical pmximinlty, and by the fact that a Canadian in emigrating to the United States is not going to a dis- tant land. with language and nodal differences. but to a land very similar to his own.

The federal Department of 'nb- or has not been inactive in the face of this problem Since the academic year 1956-56 it has maintained a directory of Conadisn students in the United States. A list of th e as students has been clrculatod among the major employers of professional personan in Canada. The National Employment Sorvica has also writ- ten in most of these students during their year df graduation. inviting them to register with the N33. for a position in Canals.

The name of the disease is a misnomer hecauu_ so per cent dallvict ims have not been near a cat. The disease was ac- qulred from contaminated splin- ters. thorns, or fragments of bone. From this we assume that aha causative virus exists not only on the cat's claw; but 0 it other objects.
