convention. The chances of winning much support in Quebec at the next general election are problematical. iii any case. and it is not likely that Conservative prospects have been affected one way or tlte other by the anti-Dicfenbaker demonstration.

The new leader is a man of tin- liucstiottcd nhilitv and l"KP"lll"lli'"- It. will be recalled tltat for a cott- slderable time he stood alone in the House of Commons against order- ln-council giivernmctti and legisla- tion which denied individuals tlte right of appeal to the courts. Today. these and other principles have be- come the essence of Conservative oppositiiiii to toiztlitarirtttism itt gov- ernment. Again, in his very first speech in the l-louse he advocated a Canadian Citizenship Act. it t00k m:lll)' years for the government to adopt his suggestion, but when it was placed on the statute books after the War, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King pulilicly acknowledged the pJil'l .lolitt Dicfenhaker had play- ed in lirittging it about. One of his greatest early triumphs was to force the formal withdrawal by the gov- erttntcttt of the Emergency Powers Act for revision after he had ex- posed its deficiencies in a speech which gained nation-wide attention in November, 1945. He took an equally prominent part in helping make the Vetet'atts' Rehabilitation Act. an effective statute.

It is to Mr. Diefenhaker's credit that he has concentrated on big is- sttcs. lttxolving principles in which he firmly liclieved. If he follows the lame line as party leader, whether 5- not he succeeds in carrying his pttrty to victory in the next electioh he willtltavc served his country well.

The retirement of Mr. Adlai E.

cal system Mr Stevenson will not evenguidethesftsirsdt.hcDemo- cratic Party until his suceemor in the next Presidential race is chosen. He will have no seat in Congrten, no official status of any kind. For a time he may serve in some sub. division of the Democratic National Committee, but he will have little influence even there. As far as the broad sweep of national affairs is concerned. his voice will be heard only incidentally. if at all. There lg just one way for his abilities to be used as they deserve to be--by his appointment to and acceptance of some position of responsibility under the Eisenhower administration. This possibility was mentioned in Wagh. ington circles immediately following the election, but lately it seems to have gone out of circulation. The R.-pulilicatts are not so favourably titsposi-ti to bi-partisan appointments l” lllizlt office as the Democrats traditionally have been. More's the pity, especially these times when the responsibility of stntccraft call for the very best talent irrespective of party tags.

A Work Oi Charity

thurch World Service, the relief agcttc) of the National Council of Churches in the United States, is all set to send 300 million pounds of food to underprivileged pi-ople iii 28 countries of Europe. Asia attd Latin America. And the best thing about the transaction is that the food is not costing the organization a penny except for distribution and adminis- tration costs. A million dollar fund to provide for these costs now and in the future is being raised by the i'hut'chcs making up the National ('oiint'll.

This largc amount of food ll coming from agricultural surpluses held by the United States Govern- ment under the "Share Our Surplus" program. it consists m ai n l y of wheat, corn. rice. powered milk and cheese. In announcing the program the executive director of Church World St-rv ice stated: ”Givett in the name of Christ and without question i of race, color or creed. these foods from our national abundance sircttgtltcn the bonds of human brotherhood from which alone can rise a better world for all."

Canada. too, has large surpluses of agricultural products on hand. though perhaps they do not repre- sent so great an economic problem as the vast surpluses held in the United States. From time to time various organizations have requested the Federal Government to make some of these products available to needy people in the famine stricken areas on long term credit or even as outright gifts from a land of plenty. So far, little has been done about it, presumably on the ground that any such program would bring tlicoretical dislocations in our agri- ciilturitl economy. But charity is never an unwise economic practice; and, when all is said and done. the hungry people of the world-at least half of the world's population. it is said- can scarcely be blamed for flurslimlinil the moral conscience of it nation which insists on cash-on- dcltvcry even wltcn its larclers are over-fillcrt with good things.

An American historian says "it is verv hard to get many people to dismiss the idea that we (the Amer- lcansl were crude aggressors in the Me x ica n War.” Perhaps for the simple reason that the plain facts of hisioigv are on their side.

HIS TRAIN

Philippines Bases

By William Courtenay, 0.3.2.

Clark Field, Manila. The break- I down of ncgociaiions here between the U. S. Air Force and Philippin- es Government concerning Ameri- , can held bases thrttws into strong focus a problem which is plaguing , both America and Britain. Here America holds an air base -- vital to the defence of the Philippines- on a 99 year lease.

But there are eletitents in the Philippines willing to be unputrint- lc enough to make political sport out of such holdings; to inflame passion: to "get the Americans out". This is all done under the specious guise of 'palriotism'. I found yesterday the same think at Okinawa antiing some spurious and phoney patriots and one finds the same outlook in Japan among some elements towards America's retention of Techekawa and other air bases the holding of which are m the best interests nf Japan's defence.

Britain is of course similarly by Nasser's phoney brand of tpst- rlotlsm' in Egypt and there are similar obstructionists in Cyprus towards the Middle East base there. though it is essential for the defence of Greece as well as of Cyprus. Britain has had similar trouble with similar characters in Iraq and Jordan. in fact these lama isuper patriotsi are respon- sible for the dissolution of those Assyrian levies in Iraq and the

Jordan levies - the only discip-

lined forces on which the Arabs could count to defend them. LOOKING AHEAD

If those who exploit such situat-

; tints to prop tlteittselves tu power

would look ahead - the true test of state manship - the'.' would realize that the atomic engined alr- craft is coming. Its arrival will con- ler on both American and Com- mtinwealth Air Forces. immense range and therefore duration of flight, Air Forces may be able to keep aircraft in the air for two or three weeks with case on the basis of uranium as power plant.

With such range and duration. thcsc Air Forces Will no longer re- quire m:-my of these bases round the world to which strategy for de- fence of the free world is at present anchored. Such airfield; as this one at Clark Field. Formosa. Okinawa. Cyprus and Japanese held airfields may be among those no longer required. Aircraft will be able in one giant. stride to carry our troops and equipment to any desired destination. on the world's suface without intermediate alight- int: Airfields. supply depots. main- tcnancc and servicing uitits. will not. require bases on foreign soil- ccrialnly not on unfriendly soil.

This means that as these alr- craft overtly such countries and bases all the great revenues in site: ling and dollars now accruing to the populations of these lands by the presence of thousands of airmen

TENNESSEE - Our hall: is

rolling through the lovely uplands '

of Tcttncssec. The lcadcn clouds and drizzllng rain of last night haw given way to bright skies and warm sunshine. The hump we experienced in the night was probably due to the train crossing the Mason and Dixon line.

For over an hour or so we have been company with a brawling river flowing helwcen pine clad lttlls. Were it not for the tumble- down shacks and the refuse dumps outside towns we might almost be in Pertltslilre. The scene itself at this moment as the long train rounds a curve is astonish- ingly like Killtckrankie

We thought we must he running liilc and after it while we asked it Vt-urn porter when we were due in He looked at us in astonish- mcnl We had left Cincinnati al- most an hour before and had paint- ed there for three quarters of an hour. Either we must have rinsed off or we were too busy writing letters to notice Cincinnati. Tba fact that we had forgotten to ad- vance our watch an hour may have had something to do with it.

Or, it may be, the American Press is to blame. Al Indianapolis we bought the "Si. Louis Post Dispatch" and the ”l.oulsville (Znurier-Journal". two of the best newspapers in the United States. We read their editorial pages with l'i1llrl1 interest. There is is quality about their editorials which com- mands respect NEWS VALUES

We see from the paper we have just bought a vendor on the train that petrol rationing is to start soon at home. All the American papers predict that Britain is to have an austere and chilly Christ- mas and many of them are still clmiing the Prime Minister for plunging into a gamble that didn't come off. One pundit affirms that Sir Anthony was politically right. mot-ally urong. and that his policy was pritumatically indefensible. The truth is that people hcrc. cvcit tltr wines. are just as con- itiscd ahtitti it all as presumably people are at home. They still like and admire us but they wish to heck that we hadn't let the West- ern world lit for all this bother.

INEVITABLE

The fivv .' pment of the atomic engined aircraft is of course in- evitable but. in the normal course of research is the aeroplane which will dominate the period 1970-19w onwards. But every time these pol- iticians seek to exploit patriotism by the presence of foreign forces in their midst - especially when the forces are there by equal treat- ies signed ltonourably as between qual sovereign nations --it hast- ens the day. In both England and America are strategists and lead- ers pressing for more money for aeronautical research so that this atomic engined aircraft may ha produced years earlier. This will make air forces independent of all these troubles and anxieties. Why hasten this movement? Do not wis- dom. rsgacity. sound patriotism. and statesmsnahlp suggest that the foreign forces should be made so welcome. made to feel so much at home. left free from all pin- prlrks. that they themselves do not httrry to sink vast sums into ac- celerating research for production of the atomic engined aircraft no quickly?

And Nasser has been guilty of the same folly in Egypt. In twelve years when the 99 years lease of the Suez Canal Company expires. the Canal and its revenues revert to Egypt. But by then the atomic engined cargo ship and tanker mu dominate the seas. President Eisen- hower has signed the contract for llte first one.

And Egypt may find herself left with a Canal with- out a ship or a ripple upon the wat- ers of Suez- Nasser has thus been operating on a falling market also - if only he could see beyond the end of his rather long nose.
