A Fresh Approach

It is unlikely that the summit meet.ing—-if there is one——will be held in Canada. Geneva appears to be the most likely spot. Nevertheless, Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s tenta- tive invitation to the heads of the great Powers to assemble in this country is a very fine gesture and indicative of his fresh outlook on world affairs.

Mr. Diefenbaker is emerging as.

a free world leader; and it is a pity that he will not be present at the summit meeting, unless it is widen-

ed to take in representatives of the‘

smaller nations. He certainly would be in a position to contribute some- thing worthwhile to the discussions; and it is just possible that his pre- once and counsel would guide the deliberations to a clusion.

‘President Eisenhower and Sec- retary of State ' Dulles are tired, worn-out men. Their honesty, no doubt, is irrefutable and their in- tentions are good. But they—Mr. Dulles especially——are so firmly con- vinced that the Russians_,have only deceit in mind that it is hard to see how they could contribute much to an overall understanding. Rigihtly or wrongly, the feeling ‘persists among the other governments and even in some sections of the United. States Congress that Mr. Dulles sim- ply does not want to negotiate with the Russians on any problem.

Prime Minister Macmillan of Great Britain is in a somewhat bet- ter position, internationally, since he is not as inflexible in his ap- proach to current problems; but in the present political situation he can -hardly_ be, called a. bona fide spokesman for his country. We say this because, unfortunately; public

opinion is very much against his-

Government. As for France, who- ever happens to be Premier at the tlme the meeting is convened will be so preoccupied with his own politi- cal safety and with the internal troubles of his Government that he will have little energy to apply to international questions. The French will be lucky, in the present furore, is they can manage to save their parliamentary system from total destruction.

Mr. Diefenbaker is a new man whose voice has already been heard with respect throughout the world. He might be the very man on whom the mantle of leadership in free na-

councils is about to fall. He has many gifts of heart and mind neces- Cary to involvement in great issues.-

False Assumptions

Reference was made yesterday to

the suggestion, from the tourist committee of the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, that although a second boat at Borden is badly need- ed, it would not be “prudent” to ad- vocate another boat at this time because “it might lessen our chances of a causeway.” We make no apology for commenting further on this statement, for it represents, if one may say so, the worst possible approach to our tranportation prob- iem. It is based on two false assumpt- ions: (1) that if we go easy on our demands for better service on the Bord.en—Tormentine run, ‘sometime in the future, perhaps ten years from now, there will be a causeway M0“ the straits; (2) that if we press for adequate facilities now, the G0VeI‘nment will decide against I causeway,

It Ought to be Clearly understood that the P1‘0I>0Sed causeway is 3 business proposition, pure and sim- ple. If, after a lengthy survey it is found to be feasible from all en- Emeering and financial standpoint. that is to say, if over a period of years it can be expected to cost the Fme-"31 Treasury less than the ferry service with the ever continuing de- rnands upon this service for expan. lion-—it will be built. Otherwise, it will not be. The number of boats which may be in the service mean. while will have no bearing whatso. aver on the final decision.

successful con- ‘

dons’ councils and even in world .

1 ,-'ll Li.)

that the present Federal Govern- ment is sympathetic with this Pro- vinc-e’s claims in the field of trans- portation; and the Prime Minister and his colleagues are well aware that a causeway at some future time, should it be found feasible, is not a satisfactory solution of the present problem; it doesn’t take any unusual insight to see that. An ex- tra boat just as soon as it can be provided is a necessity. In asking for it—and asking for it in firm fash- ion——-we are putting forth a rea- sonable request which we believe Federal authorities will treat with respect and consideration. There has been too much of “prudence” in softpedaling our claims in the past; and that is onerreason, perhaps the chief reason, why successive Gov- ernments have treated us so negli- gently in the matter of transporta- tion services.

Raies Hearty Salute

When a soldier beefs about his uniform or equipment, it gets scant attention from the powers that be. When a General sounds off on the same theme, there are likely to be some repercussions. Especially when. he is Chief of the General Staff. That

‘is the position held by‘ Lieut. Gener-

al Howard D. Graham, who ‘spoke at Winnipeg the-other day in the course ofhis tour of western installations.

General Graham said that he was ~“not happy” with the Canadian soldier’s uniform. He found it “un-

desirable” either as a battle dress or

a Walking-out dress. In battle the uniform bunches up under the web- bing, making the soldier uncom- fortable. And it is difficult for a man to “look smart" in the uniform while walking out.

While the General didn't say when the uniform might be changed, we may ‘expect that action will fol- low pretty promptly. In the mean- time, he will rate more than the perfunctory salute from the rank and file for thus speaking his mind.

EDITORIAL NOTES

There is no mistake about it—— the Russian leaders are adept in pro-

paganda methods. Premier Khrush-

chev now wants an East-West Trade Conference to discuss, among other things, plans for helping the United States get rid of the “econo- mic recession”. ,

‘I’ C '9 '

The Soviet Ambassador to the lUnited States, after winin.g and dining—or at least dining-——with Mr. Cyrus Eaton at the latter’s home in Cleveland, said that the Russians could easily “co-exist” with capit- alists of his type. He needn’t think that that will get him anywhere with Mr. John Foster-Dul1es!

The Prime Minister’s desire to increase Canadian trade with the United Kingdom is producing re- sults. Sir David Eccles, President of the British Board of Trade will visit Ottawa for two days later this month. He will be followed by Sir William Rootes, President of the Bri- tish Dollar Exports Council, who will make a coast to coast tour.

There is no doubt now about Jap- an’s position in the shipbuilding busi- ness Lloyd’s Register of Shipbuild- ing reports that in 1957 Japan launched’2,424,000 tons, more than 1 million tons ahead of Britain, her chief rival. This represented a big gain from 1955 when new Japanese ships totalled 829,000 tons against Britain’s 1,474,000 ltons. West Ger- many is now in third place-——1,230,. 000 tons last year.

The Fisheries Council has asked the Federal Government to amend regulations to give Canadian fisher. men the same rights as foreigners. At present Canadian boats are not. allowed to fish in a 9-mile wide’ band of water between the 3 and 12 mile limits. while foreign boats are per- mitted to fish anywhere they like within 3 miles of the coast. This situation is most unfair to Canadian

fishermen. It should be corrected without delay. ‘

made~—in Finland. RECENT STUDY

The Finnish Foundation for Alcohol Studies _ _ lished a psychologic. Physiologic and neurologic study of the rel- ative effects of distilled and grewed beverages.

Using volunteers who drank at their accustomed ‘ rate, the researchers compared the dif- -ferences between brandy and beer. '

Now these results are not con- clusive. But they give some pret- ty good indicatons of the effects of brewed an distilled bever- ages upon an individual's reac- tions.

HAS MORE EFFECT

The tests showed that grandy had a stronger effect than beer did on speech. Mos-t character- istic effect of brandy, the in- vestigators reported, was that it ‘made the drinkers coarse and uncontrollably aggressive.

The behavior of the brandy drinkers, after intoxication. was more active than, that of the beer drinkers. , Outbursts were personal and reached a crisis quickly. On the other hand, reactions of the beer drinkers were much weaker. Beer more often pro- duced inability to see cle arly and slowed response to reality. _I.n many respects, the study showed, the effects of brandy were more rapid and more defi- nite than the effects of beer. Within an hour after drinking brandy. the volunteers lost most of their manual dexerity. It took beer drinkers from one to three hours to reach the same stage. QUESTION AND ANSWER

The colorful history of Sarawak has been pushed gack 40,000 years into the Stone Age.

Recent discovery of prehistoric graves in a vast cave has brought new evidence of early human life in the steamy, equatorial British colony. Some of the human re- mains were colored a bright red. Also found were thousands of pri- mitive tools and ornaments made and used by these early people.
