New Crisis Brewing? Reference was made in these columns on Aug. 25 to a restiveness which seemed to be building up in the Republic of Panama over United States' control of the Panama Canal. This, of course, was caused, or at least helped along. bY EBYPV5 seizure of the Suez. A late report confirms the uneasiness and sug- gests that real trouble over the Panama may not be too far off. In a public statement Secretary of State Dulles referred to the Treaty of 1903 between his country and Panama and declared that in the Canal Zone (a five mile strip on either side of the Canal ceded to the United States by the treaty) "the United States has all the rights which it would possess if it were the sovereign". Immediately, the Foreign Minister of Panama took exception to this statement and said ”there is no doubt that the 1903 treaty does not give the United States sov- ereignty over the Canal Zone". At about the same time a report from Panama City indicated that several powerful political groups are deter- mined that the canal shall come under Panamanian control. This is being supported with varying de- grees of enthusiasm by most sections of the Panamanian press. In one newspaper a cartoon showed a ferocious looking Mr. Dulles stand- ing over a prostrate Panamanian. All this. of course, is annoying to the United States Government. If the Western proposal for the in- ternationalizlng of the Suez is suc- cessful, the unrest in Panama will probably subside, at least for the time being. If it isnt, the situation almost certainly will develop into another crisis. Nor. in such a case, would it be confined to Panama and the United States. Directly or in- directly all Latin America would be involved in the dispute; for in these countries. too, extremely national- istic groups. aided by Communist troublemakers, are suspicious of what they call "American economic g domination".

Not A Good Summer?

'”Twas not a good summer”. That is the story one hears from time to time; and no doubt from the perfectionist point of view there is a modicum of truth in it. Anyone. however, who cares to compare con- ditions here with those in almost any other part of the world can see at a glance that this area's troubles, weatherwise, are in the main of a very slender nature. To be sure, a rainy spell in July made things a little difficult for the haymakers; but there was a lot of hay and very little of it was lost. As for other crops, they are, we are told, abund- ant. Grain. especially, was never better. The only thing needed for the potato crop is a fair market price, and at the moment there is hope that it will be forthcoming. In any case, the Island has lived up to its reputation as A rich producer of the good things of the earth.

How different is the situation in so many places around the world! Even in Western Canada where a bumper crop is in the fields pro- longed bad weather has hampered I operations; and, in addition, there Tie a serious shortage of farm help. .. the border drought has si- t .- many widely scattered areas. parts of Texas, for example. there

All over Europe the same tale is being told-a tale of flood, delayed harvesting. poor crops, or big ones with only slim prospects of getting them in the barns and warehouses.

Not a very good summer here? Perhaps it might have been better, but all in all it was one for which We can be profoundly thankful.

No Music For Cows

Farmers who ha ve installed pianos, radios or orchestras in their barnsunder the impression that the sound of sweet music hclps cows to produce more milk can remove them any day at all now and save the

added expense. That at least is the,

good news from a professor of dairy husbandry at the University of Wis- consin. He reports that not only does music serve no good purpose; there are times when it can give a cow is very serious breakdown. This is so regardless of whether the tunes played are in the classical tradition or of the plain juke-box variety. If one may be allowed to disregard the professor's academic phraseology, the plain way of saying it is that cows don't like music of any kind; it distracts them. And, contrary to a widespread view in the matter, it is distraction and not contrariness that keeps them from "letting the milk down" on occasions.

The professor points out that contentment of the cow is the secret of good milk production. This is brought about by gentle handling and warm bathing of the udder with perhaps a little dainty feed of some sort as an added inducement. The average cow-there are. of course, exceptions-appreciates these little favours very much; but she wouldn't give a pint of milk for melody, even though it be as "sweet and musical as bright Apollo's flute, strung with his hair". And here's another thing. Machine milking can be just as help- ful in the promotion of bovine con- tentment as hand milking, but the latter method produces more milk. So says the professor of dairy hus- bandary.

Farmers, no doubt, will appre- ciate belng told these things!

EDITORIAL NOTES

A U.S. agricultural report says that on a modern farm a milch cow drinks 35 gallons of watendaily. One hates to question a scientific finding; but that looks like alot of water for one day's consumption. i

In reply to Vice President Nixon's statement that Republicans will carry Eisenhower's record to every corner of the country, Democratic standard-bearer Stevenson said: ”So will we." The interpretations, of course, will differ on several im-

The Eisenhower administration issued a new stamp in honour of Labour Day: and at formal cere- monies the President said a "few words” in praise of organized labour.

The Western Isles

Ema.-st Chisholm Thomson in Tile Montreal Gneuo

LONDON.-”Put yon map away. I can tell you better than any map."

Though it is years ago now. I shall -never forget that sturdy old Highlander. in the North of Scot- lsnd, calling to me across the road as I wrestled with the unruly sheet in a wind. Secretly I resented the intrusion. I bad faith in my map. Moreover. I had paid for it only that morning. But it became im- mediately redundant as the old gentleman, with native courtesy. put me on the right route in half- a-dozen words.

Since then, though my trust in maps is unabated. I have learnt not to take them always at their face value. Appearances are de- ceptive. Take the United Kingdom. Standing close to. but well sep- erate from. the teeming Continent of Europe, it looks on the map what it undoubtedly ls-s highly- populated isosceles triangle of a country with 550 people to the squarc mile.

ROMANTIC HEBBIDES

But how appearances deceive! Most of those busy 50 minions con- gregate in and around the big towns. There are parts of Britain in seemingly remote us the back- woods of Australia. and more proudly romantic than almost any other spot on earth.

How remote, how romantic, many of us scarcely knew until Queen Elizabeth 11 and the Duke of Edinburgh set sail in the Royal yacht Britannia for the Western Isles.

To legions of people in Canada. Australia, New Zealand and other Commonwealth countries, the He- brides-those rocky Western isles off Scotland's Atlantic coast-ring with the names of their forebears. The chleftains who waited on the Queen on her progress from Iona to Skye. Born: to Lewis. repres- ented the MacLeaus. Campbells. Macdonslds. Cameron: and other great warring clans of past cen- turles.

Many of their castles and fort- resses still guard the mountains. places of pilgrimage now for the ever-growing number of travellers from England and overseas, part- lculary the Commonwealth coun- tries. who have in recent years to some thing like 50,000,000 pounds per snnum.

Of all treasure houses of histori- cal romance. 1 know none richer than the Island of Iona. with its Abbey. A gale razed when I was on lonely ions a few years back. and it.was a blessed relief to gain dry land and trace our way through the rock-strewn heather tn the 1m' ' Abbey founded in the sixth century A.D. by Saint Columbs.

ABBEY RESTORED

The Abbey, incidentally, has

been restored by in group of young

Scottish enthusiasts. the Iona Community. and Queen Elizabeth found it in very different shape from that in which it was viewed by her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria. who was at Iona -the last reigning Monarch to vis- it it-just 109 years ago.

So desolate was it then. In fact. that Queen Victoria stayed on board ship. A passage I have dis- covered in Queen Victoria's prin- ted journal for 1847 reveals that she saw the Abbey from a van!- age point off-shore. Her husband. Prince Albert. landed and brought back an account of its ruined slate and the tombs of ancient kings.

How different it all is today- not only on Iona. but in most other parts of the Western Isles. After calling at the flue mainland town of Oban. the Royal travellers sall- ed along the Sound of Mull to Tobermory. famous even to us who live in Southern England for lhe treasure-filled Spanish. galleon said to have bsbn sunk in its shel- tered bay nearly loo years alto. Divers were searching for the wreck when I was there some years back. and the search can- tinues. Against thls debatable largesse we can set the certain bounty of the new plantations which are changing the face of the country. part of Scotland's am- bitious forestry scheme. THRWING INDUSTRIES

New life has been breathed into the Isles. During the tour. Queen Elizabeth saw demonstrations of of tweed - making, the Hebridean craft famous throughout the world, as well as herring curing and sea- weed cuttlng. South Uisl. in the Outer Hebrides, is a particularly busy island. with co-operative marketing of produce and u thrlb- ing seaweed industry using mod- ern scientific techniques. The Queen also saw the proposed site there for a guided missiles range.

The island of Skye Is a great target for tourists. partly be- cause of its historic associations with Prince Charles Edward. the last Fretend to the British throne who escaped to Skye after the Battle of Culloden in 1745. The

Where it treats emotional sym- ptoms instead of causes. more serious personality defects may occur.

And where it evokes delusions of grandeur. Dr. Brunei warns. it may form habits of thought as harmful as drug addiction. TRAINED PSYCHIATRISTS
