"The Mikado" is the most pop- ular of all the faulous comic operas in tllllicrt and Sullivan, and to- night's performance by the Prince of Wales Volicgc Chorus in the Col- ll-;.;c auditorium should make a strong popular appeal. Nothing like this attempt lias bpen made locally on such a scale for many years. The enwinlilc, oi sixty-five voices. will he supported by soloists and charac- ter actors aiui the Japanese cos- tumes. all the way from Titipu. are autln-ntir ill every detail. Stage dir- ections and musical scores are also authentic. An orchestra and two pianos will provide the magni.licent accompaniment. The stage has been doubled in size and provided with lush oriental scenery for the occas- lon. Members of the cast. under the competent. direction of Miss Lillian MacKenzie. have been training strenuously for their parts. and the performance should be a most en- joyable one throughout. We are pleased to note that it will run for three evenings. thus providing op- portunity for all music lovers throughout the Province to enjoy the treat.

Gilbert and Sullivan operas are unique in their way, for every age finds them fresh and exhilarating. They appeal to every taste. Their humour seems to be inherent in the music as wcli as in the words, and the two vehicles of expression have never been so happily combined. The characters are a race by them- selves-spirited, charming. and gay in circumstances that most of us would find quite intolerable. No one who has once encountered Naki- Poo. K0-K0, Pooh-Bah and Fish- Tush will ever forget them. We shall have them with us this week. along with Yum-Yom. Katisha and the rest. as they come from the fertile brains of their originators. And whether we welcome them as old friends or new, they rate a full fan- fare. As the Mikado himself says in the finale. "Nothing could possibly be more satisfactory"!

A Meeting in Moscow

The ten American Church lead- ers. representing the National Coun- cil of Churches, who went to Mos- ,cow a week or so ago on a goodwill visit to Russian Orthodox (Thurch dignitaries. seem to have run into political controversy which they had not antieipatcrl. This. at any rate, is the inference to be gathered from a dispatch to the New York Times from its Moscow correspon-

dent. The troublc arose when Metro- politan N l k 0 l a i. the Orthodov

spokesman and host at the meeting. brought up the matter of the Soviet- sponsored World Pcacc (louncil. which the Russian preiate called "the champion of peace loving for- cu in the world". This description was challenged by Dr. Eugene Car- son Blake, leader of the American delegation, who reminded the Met- ropolitan that in 1932 at a confer- ence sponsored hy this same "Peace Council”, the Soviet Governmentls charge that the United States had engaged in germ warfare In Korea was upheld. Dr. Blake went on to lay that Western Churches would never support the World Peace Council so long as it adhered to Soviet policy in every world prob- I&. as it has done invariably up to ill? Present. This angered Arch- blehdp Nikolai; and charges and counter-charges of bad faith and In- tnntion held the floor for several -minutes. Finally. religious calm

side-red significant, and. perhaps. of some little value to the cause of world amity at this time. One is that the Russian Church leaders were permitted by soviet authorities to a number of Western re- ljgious leaders to Moscow and ex- change views on world problems with them: it could not have hap- pened. at least in this open-handed way. during the Stalin regime. The other. as far as reports indicate, is that no political restriction was plat-all on probable subjects for dis- cuss-inn. in the past, all religious c....r.-n-in-cs in Moscow were under the tin-ccl domination of Govern- ment oft'ici.ils.

Subtle Diplomacy

of State Dulles has

invite

Scrrclaijv been trying his hand at subtle dip- loinaigx again, this time in New Delhi. ulicrc he tried to convince

Primc .ilini.-iul Nchru that relations bcluccii thc t.'mt.-ti Sltilcs and India aw wull and gt-ttui: better all the time. This was in direct opposition to View-5 hold by Nil: Nehru who has been under the impression that the l'nited States was encouraging Pak- istan in the feud with India over the future of Kashmir. 'l'lns impression was given a boost, an unintentional one no doubt. at the SEATO meet- ing in Karachi. where the delegates, Mr. Dulles included, supported Pak- istan's demand for a plebiscite in the disputed territory. the very thing that Mr. Nehru does not want at the present time. and virtually upheld Pakistan's claim to sover- eignty over Kashmir, although not in any written agreement.

In his talks with Mr. Nehru, Mr. Dulles made light of this SEATO decision. and especially his part in it. He assured the Indian leader that the decision does not mean that the United States would support. Pakistan in any attempt to take the territory by force. ”If Pakistan did that". he said, ”there would be a quick end to the friendly relations now existing between that country and the United States, and we would be on India's side before the United Nations".

What does all this mean? No one-except perhaps Mr. Dulles- can say. All things considered. how- ever. it may be just as well for Mr. Dulles that he visited Pakistan be- fore and not after his trip to New Delhi. Otherwise, he would have had to explain the whole thing over again and in an entirely different tone: and there must be times when even a Secretary of State runs out of diplomatic tricks.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Greece has asked the U. N. Gen- eral Assembly to take up the Cyp- rus question at its next general meeting In November. Since no re- quest was made for a special meet- ing. it may be that Greek officials are not so worried about the matter as they pretend to be.

CAUSI-TWAY QUESTIONS

Sir. -Now that the causeway pro- jcct has again been revived. per- haps you may grant me a little space for a tcw remarks on the matter. First of all allow me to say that if the caiiseway can be built and maintained in a good con- dition tor daily use, it will no doubt be of great economic value to all residents of these Atlantic Provinces. But it would be too bad if all foreseeable hazards against the project were not looked into very closely before it was built. Now I think it was when the cause- way was discussed in the Provin- cial Legislature in 1944. that it was the late llarry Francis. of Fortune Bridge, who mentioned the pos- sibility of frozen spray coating the top of the causeway with ice on stormy days, before the board ice would form. in the late fall: and to my mind this is still a very im- portant question. and so far I have not seen it mentioned in all that has been printed about the cause- way in the last few weeks. Any-

one who has lived along I rocky shore knows how high the spray will came during a severe storm. and if the temperature is at a cer- tain level the spray will coal every thing with ice.

Another point is that the natural shore is usually shoal for quite 8 distance out and this naturally mod- ifies the waves somewhat. But what would be the effect of high waves striking on a solid obstacle like the causeway in deep, bold wanter? How high would the spray

o

g .

Another possible hazard is drift- ing pack ice. People say that board lcp will form on both sides of the causeway. and so it will and in I very cold winter there will be very heavy ice form on both sides. possibly for miles; but the day will come every spring when the bnnrd icc will be all broken in huge cakes. and if a heavy blow should come. how high would it pile'.'

The Guardian carried a news item a few days ago telling that pack ice had piled forty feet high somewhere in F.urnpe, Would the proposed slope of the causeway sides allow this pack ice to go up over it. when there is such bold water to contend with?

Kremlin Colleagues On Hot Seat

By Tam Whltnay Associated Press. New Yerk

Ouc question raised in Russian minds by Nikita Klirushclicvls de- nunciation nt Stalin IS what the prcscnt Communist. party chief and his Kremlin colleagues were doing while Stalin tcrrnri'I.ed the Soviet Union.

The political future of the pres- ent Soviet leaders possibly de- pends on the skill with which they answer this-and on the ultimate conclusion which the Russian peo- ple reach

I(hruschev has already made an effort to sidestep this question by declaring that he and Stalin's other subordinates were in fear of their lives.

But it's not certain that thc lins- sian people will arccpt this as a completely satisfactory explanat- ion.

KEY QUESTION

A key question is whether So- viet citizens may not. as a result of th e revelations of Stalin's crimes, and blunders. come to a more m' less unanimous ('f)fI('lIl- sion that they'd prefer to be ruled by people less intimately associat- ed with the old dictator.

Perhaps Russians inside and out- side the Communist party will he- gin to look to Soviet army leaders for unsulllcd non-Stalinist guid- 'dll('0.

Never has tlic Soviet army's star stood so high. Marshal Georgi 7.liukov and other Red army lead- ers. as most Russians understand tlnncs, did not do Stalin's dirty work. 'l'liat was the job of such party leaders as Kiiruslichcv. Georgi lilalcnkov. V. M. Molotov. Nikolai Buignnin. ftnastas Mikov ynn ami the rest of Stalin's polit- burn.

it was the army which suffered from Stalin's despotism.

The present Kremlin lcadcrs ap- parently fcel that the fact. they were Stalin's apostles will be for- gotten by Russians because of what they have done in the last three years to prove they were unwilling apostles.

Postlbly they are right. But can- ceivably they went I step too far. By admitting that crimes were committed, they may have con- victed themselves lrrevncably in the Russian public mind as Ic- compllccs.

FOLLOWS INFECTIONS

Nepbrosis sometimes follows infections elsewhere in the body, such as dlptlicria tuberculosis pneumonia and syphillis. It begins gradually. sometimes with I per- iod of weeks or months in which the victim feels listless and is in vague ill health.

The first indication of child- hood nephrosis usually is a swell- ting around the eyes. especially in the morning. Frequently the puff- iness dlsappt-..-s by afternoon.At. this stage it is difficult to detect the disease. L'nlcss I urine exam- ation is made. I doctor might not even suspect nephrosis.

Nephrosis does not run an even course. The swelling may disap- pear nny to return again after I lapse of I few days. weeks or even months.
