The Athens Conference

While the NA“) foreign minis- ters. meeting at Athens. have agreed to continue negotiations with "e Soviet. Union on Berlin. there '- un- fortunately no indication that they are in full agreement as to the con- tribution the four principal mem- bers of the alliance are willing to make toward e Berlin settlement.

They an completer firm on two points: namely. that Western military forces must remain in West Berlin to guarantee its survival, and that this Western island in ‘he Communist sea must continue to enjoy free and easy relations with West Germany and the Western community. Beyond that, West Germany and France have been loath to go.

Britain and the United Stains. on the other hand. take the view that Russia can hardly be expected to agree to these two requirements without getting something in re- turn. West Germany refu se 4 to recognize East Germany. or any country in friendly relations with East Germany save and excep'ing the Soviet Union. This notwith- standing the fact that daily in a score of committees and commis- sions West Germans meet with "’Ist Germans and transact necessary all- Gcrman business with them.

What Washington and London want Bonn to do is a d m it openly what it is in fact doing. They want its concurrence in seating East Ger- mans slong with West Germans and the other Western Allies in n mission to control traffic over the access corridors to West Rr~"'in. They also want what is known as the Hallstein Line broken to the point where West Germany grants diplomatic recognition and ex- changes ambueadors with Poland. Czechoslovakia. and other eastern Communist states and resumes dip— lomatic relations with Yugo" via.

The us. and British fore lg n ministers are convinced that unless such arrangement is madHr some alternative solution found—t h e r 0 can be no Berlin settlement. And there haa been nothing from the conference to indicate any yielding on West Germany's pert—or on France's either—to these conditions.

However. the meeting was of value in underlining the frightful nuclear problems involved in mili- tary strategy. as well as the im- portance and urgency of a disarma- malt agreement in which matter Canada. it is reported. won support of the Council for a declaration backing the Geneva conference whidi France. heretofore. has boy-

As the Journal I e m a r k s. the times were out of joint for the Con- servatives when Mr. Bracken led the national party but he was a political force in the West for two decades and as an adviser and guide to good fanning he was outstand- ing on the Prairies. In later years he has been a farmer in the Mano- tick district. where he has shown how a farm teacher can put his lessons into practice with impres- sive results.

It is worth recalling that it was Mr. Bracken. as national leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, who first maintained that our Borden-Tormentine f e r r y service should be regarded as an interpro- vincial highway. There was no talk then of a causeway, and Mr. Bracken was not elected to carry out hie pledge to reduce the ferry rates to a minimum. But his highway con- cept will reach fruition when the causeway is built. and there is no doubt that were he in power in re- cent years he would be strongly in favor of the project.

A Great Achievement

American diplomacy has not al- ways been successful. but there Is one achievement to its credit for which we should all be devoutly thankful. This has been its treat- ment of Japan. It is now ten years since the American military occupa- tion of Japan ended and the island nation regained its place as e sov- ereign state. while still ’bennming from postwar American policy.

Instead of exacting tribute from a conquered nation in 1952, after a war of unprovoked aggression on Japan's part. the United States gave aid. Instead of imposing re- pression. it instigated democratic reforms. It fed the hungry. reh-IiIt the cities. and restored the econnr‘v. There are few parallels in all his- tory to this example of repaying good for evil: and. of course. it "as paid off for the United States. and for the whole free world as well.

Japan is today the thriving workshop of the Orient. A“ in spite of Communist inspired demon- strations and fears that stem from the atomic bomb explosions over Hiroshima and Negasaki. the grwt majority of Japanese are staunch friends of their former foes. A great deal is due. of course. to the Japanese themselves for their ability to adjust to mdical changes and to co-operate as they have been doing: but they could never have made the phenomenal progress they have achieved except for the under- pinning provided during the seven years of American occupation.

Too Few Doctors

According to the latest figures received by the Health League of Canada. there are approxinv‘ly one and a half million doctors for the world population of three bil- lion people. Imnically enough. one of the smallest countries in the world—IsraeI—with one doctor to every 420 inhabitants—ls the best provided for medically and is fol- lowed by the Soviet Union with 550 inhabitants per doctor. Czechoe- lovakie and Austria with e r‘ ‘or to 690 and 620 persons respective- ly are next in line. The figures for the United States. Scotland and France show a doctor per 790, 870 and 930 persons. In terrific con- trast. India has only one doctor per 5.000 of its population and Afghan- istan one doctor per 58.000. At the extreme end of the list stand Mail with 80.000 end Niger with 96,000 Inhabitants per doctor.

REMOTE CONTROL

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Need For Change In Elections Act

0 u r federal election cam~ paigns are made needlesst long

by an obsolete and foolish sta— ‘

tute. Their lcnlzth has predictab-

ly been criticized by the two-

chief sufferers. the rival leaders of the two big political parties. before they have lost their breath in the first lap of this monotonous marathon.

The “Canada Elections Act" sets out the day-by-day detailed program which must be follow-

cd in camplling the lists of those ‘ entitled to vote. This procedure‘

covers from the 54th day be- fore polling day until the 11th dav before polling clay.

So notice of an election must be civcn approximately eight wceks before the date set for actually marking the cross on the ballot paper. And lnevitably that pcriod becomes the appro- ximate length of the campaign.

This tedious timetable for compiling the vofers' lists cov- ers the appointment of enum- eralors: the house-to-house vis- its by cnumcrators to cnable them to prepare the prelimin- ary lists of electors; the print- Ing and distribution of those prcllmlnary lists; the appoint- ment of revising officers. and their sittings to hear applica- tions from electors whose nam- es were omitted from the pre«

liminary lists: and finally. not‘

laterthan the Ilth day bcfme polling day. the presentation of the complctcd and corrected lists of electors to candidatn and to the returning officers. It is of course qulfc absurd for us to suffer under this pro- tracted and inefficient delay In

these days of speedy commun- ‘

lcation. Does it really take two mmeraton a days to pro- duce accurate list. cam of about 300 voters living In one polling district? Must there then be a further welt of clever days before those lists are used at polling stations?

1' he political equirernente certainly do not call for elee mm to be stretched over weeks. The party leader! other chief speakers can cover the country by Jet air» craft much more swiftly than was the case In the good

g

and

I‘

the candidates. and the ore dom to electors. all now de- mand a tclcscoping of this elec- toral process.

If the electoral officials can-‘ [ not devise some means of com~‘

l tlcal parties. the gruelling fo‘

piling accurate voters' lists in less than six weeks. their job might well be handed over to the census bureau. who could‘ ccrtainly make a speedier job of It.

Failing that. a better answer would certainly be to Institute tho systrm of maintaining pcr- mam voters‘ lists, which would

be kept constantly up-Iodate. and could be used In provincial and municipal elections and in referendums, as well as In fe-

‘ deral elections.

This is done In other coun- tries with rcsulting speed In elections and apparent satisfac- tion to all. Surely what anyone else can do. we can do better?

In any event. there is now a

Widespread recognition in poII-t

tical circlesherc that Canadians no longer want. and parties can no longcr afford. the over-ex- posure of candidates through an eight-\vcck clcclion.

F'ImlleanM. there is some evidence that the disease may be a precursor of bronchial u- thme. emphyaelne d In lulu. nasal polyps. diabetes. ulcer. or cirrhoels of the liver.

The technical name of the condition is mucovlscabe' The victim Inherits an abuse- mality of the secreting glands. such as those that manufacture mucus and sweat. In this re- spect. mucovlacidosia can be generalized. affecting all the glands that secrete fluid info the body cavities or from the skin.

The troublesome feature In that the mucus Is not normal: it is extremely thick and sticky. The secretion of the sweat glands has a high concentration of salt. When the lungs are ef- fecled. the bronchi and wind pipe are filled with such thick mucus. the passageway in blocked. In time. the lung tis-1 sues and air sacs become III- fectcd and overdistended tern- physemai. Persistent couch, and hoarseness ensue.

Those with involvement of the sweat glands are likely to per- splre profuscly and the loss of large amounts of salt leads to heal exhaustion. In some in~ stances. this is the only man!- festation of the disease.

when the pancreas ls effecfr ed. the concentration of a cer- tain enzyme is reduced. which lcadst o a marked disturbance of the bowel. The glandular cells lining other organs ay effect the stomach juices. saliva. tears. bile. and other structures. The full-blown form of thc disease ls difficult to trcat. but it is surprising how much can be done whcn partial abnormalities exist. The best diagnostic test Is done on sweat; in cystic flbrosis. the concen- tration of salt is abnormally high.
