A Dangerous Proposal

Now comes an official of the Un- ited States Atomic Energy Commis- sion to suggest that one way, per- haps the surest way, to preserve the peace would be for the United States to set off a hydrogen bomb-the big- gest in the pile-at a meeting oi ,high ranking delegates from all na- '”tions on the island of Eniwetok in the Pacific. His presumption is that the Russians would be so awed by American atomic might that they would immediately mend their ways and begin to work seriously for peace. It is, of course, possible that the plan has merit; but, certainly, it would run up against difficulties. For one thing, the big explosion might very well be something of an anti-climax; for, despite the sec- recy that has surrounded American atomic development, it is more than likely that the Russians are already aware of what has been done, At the summit meeting, it will be recalled, Premier Bulganin-or was it Mr. Khrushchev?-intimated that there was nothing especially attractive about President Eisenhower's plan for exchange of military information . because the Russians knew all they wanted to lcnow about United States bases, military potential, etc. i Furthermore, an explosion of an American bomb at Eniwetok would .,be followed, almost certainly, by a .Russian demonstration somewhere in Siberia; it is childish to think that -the Russians would be content to play second fiddle to the Americans in the matter of atomic prestige. And if, by any chance, the Siberian display were to prove more power- ful than the one at Eniwetok, the whole thing would have to start all over again. It takes no extraordin- ary imagination to see the grim pos- sibilities of that sort of competition. There is, of course, this to be said: so long as the leaders of the two sides were trotting backand forth to the atomic games they would not have too much time on their hands for plotting more serious PF0' jects. But, taking one thing with another, there would seem to be more danger than safety in one side's setting off bombs just to scare the other side.

Diversities Oi Gills

When Prime Minister Eden took over the reins of leadership it was inevitable that the public should begin to compare his talents and abilities with those of his illustrious predecessor. Fortunately, he suc- ceeded a man who understood his situation perfectly and who could be counted on to assist him in every

iod of transition. The consensiis seems to be that Sir Anthony has met the lest of public appraisal heroically and well. It is improbable that he will ever reach the stature attained by his predecessor, but he has shown clear evidence of his fit- ness to carry on the tradition of good statesmanship.

Now it is Foreign Secretary Mac- Ml'llan's turn to be judged on the bhsis of his predecessor's fame as a diplomat. Those who know both

find two persons more unlike in ltssnperament or skill.

has declared it. He is no less sincere in his judgments, and no less cap- able of fashioning them, than his predecessor in the Foreign Office; but he is less likely, reports say, to change them, or even to modify them, to suit the requirements of a new set of circumstances. In this respect he resembles Sir Winston Churchill more closely than the pre- sent Prime Minister.

In diplomacy. no doubt, as in all other important human activities. there are diversities of gifts. And, perhaps. there is some hidden force at work which makes the gifts suit the requirements of the circum- stances in which they are expected to operate. Who can say?

A Bit Oi Cheer

Evcr since the time of the Crus-

ades, ivlien Christians and Moham- inedans battled for nearly two cen- turies for the possession of the Holy Sepulchrc in Jerusalem, the Church which stands on the sacred spot has been deteriorating, sometimes on the verge of collapse, because of i n t e r-(' h Ll r c h disagreements on rights and responsibilities in connec- tion with the shrine. Roman Cath- olics, Armenians, and Greeks al- ways have been accorded major privileges; the Coptics, Syrians, and Abyssinians, who have been granted lesser facilities for worship in l series of chapels away from the lmain edifice. have, in the past, put obstacles in the way of plans for restoration and permanent repairs. So pronounced have been the dis- sensions that from time to time it has been feared that the Church would come to ruin.

Recently, however, according to a report by the North American Newspaper Alliance, an agreement was reached satisfactory to all par- ties. The Roman Catholic Church. with the consent of the other bodies concerned, has engaged architects from the United States, Britain, and some European countries, and soon the great work, so long delayed by disunity, will be under way. This victory for Christian co-operation in a place hallowed-in the Christian view-by the most sacred and most momentous event of the ages, is a belated one: and considering all the problems that await solution, per-- haps it will not be regarded as par- ticularly newsworthy. All the same. it represents a bit of cheer in a part of the world where fear and strife prevail in the secular affairs of neighbouring peoples.

A contestant who won 332,000 on a quiz show has announced he will give the money to "organizations promoting the brotherhood of man." It is safe to predict that he will have no trouble in finding beneficiaries of his charity. In all likelihood he will be getting applications from ”hrothei'hood" organizations he had iicwr heard of hcfore.

PEACE OUR GREATEST NEED

Sir-We are thankful that the kind of warfare we are engaged in is not taking away the lives of many of our young people. it uses up the taxpayers' money to pro- duce no permanent good. The maj- ority of our people cannot remem- ber July 19l4 when we lost our peace of mind; so they are not able to imagine a world at peace. We do not need war, hot or cold, to give our people employment. We would find larger markets for our-goods. for two-thirds of the world is hungry for food. cloth- ing, medicine. books and teachers. Three times the amount of pulp- wood would be needed to provide enough paper with which to teach the illiterate. Three times as malw professors in agriculture would find employment. Then, instead of war being our national industry, we would be spending our tax money to fight the enemies of the other races, namely, hunger, cold, dirt and disease.

Some will say. that this is,"too Utopian for me." ”There will be war till the end of time." Don't believe yourself: if you live 20 years more. you'll change your mlnd- We all know that peace needs to come first in North, America between capital and labor, bet- ween raceiz and creeds. in the fam- ily circle and in the individual human heart. This brings us down to the basic requirement for peace, namely, peace with God. This is something that comes from above, but needs to be cultivated below. It's a gift.

An old story ihal might be true is told about a l'll'il ll0l)lf'nlPfI lvilfl gave his jester a ltilllfl or slick to use in -his perlzurniiinccs lie said, "keep this nmi till you find a greater fool than yoiirsclf." The iesterp was qinlc plcascd and llN'0d it on many fcsiivo occasions. He often checrcd up his master and when the nobleman lay dying he called the jcrlcr in. in once nlflrc, try to nmiisc him He told the 'supposcd fool that be was going away on a long iourncy. ”Wvcrc to?” asked thc jcslcr. ''I don't know." ”How long will you be gone?" "I shall he iznnc forever." "What provision havc you made for the trip?" ”Nnnc at all-" "Then". said the jester. ”take this." And placing the wand in the nobleman's hand, he added. "It belongs to you." We read of peace talks among the "Big Four". There is some- thing lacklniz. Our Lord said "My peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth give I unto you."

The Gordon Royal Commission did well to begin its hearings in the Atlantic Provinces. thereby foc- using attention on a part of Canada which has too long been 8 victim of economic neglect. Briefs laid before the commission d a- new the class interlocking features of the Maritime situation: retard- ed living standards: slow growth of employment and population. with continued loss of youth to wealth- ier regions; the handicaps of high freight rates and long hauls to mar- kets for Maritime products. More- over. the economic gap between the Marltimes and the rest of Can- ada has widened in recent years. To a large extent, the Canadian boom has bypassed the Marltimes, as have the million immigrants and the billions of dollars of foreign investment that have poured into Canada since the war. To quote the Maritime writer. Douglas How, "the sweep of national progress seems to spread westward from the St. Lawrence like thunder and eastward like an echo.” It cannot be said that Ottawa has ignored the Maritimes. Tax rental subsid- les, under the dominion-provincial financial agreements. are weighted in favor of poorer provinces - though perhaps not as much as they should be. Family allowances, old age pension and other welfare payments are of particular import- ance in these provinces. because they could not afford to finance them themselves. whereas wealth- ier provinces might be able in.

PANACEAS ONLY

Freight subventions and subsid- ies have long been used to prop up the Nova Scotia coal industry, and the federal treasury has con- tribuied heavily to public works such'as the Canso causeway. All these things ha e helped the Mori- times, but the have not solved the basic problem-under-devclop- ment of resources.

Teeth Under The Smile

(Montreal Gazette)

The new edition of Jane's "Fight- ing Ships." the authoritative hand- book on the naval strength of all nations, points once again to the Ircmendous effort being made by Russia to build up her navy. Some 400 submarines, the book says. are now part of Russia's fleet-

This statement recalls that made only a few weeks ago by U. S. Admiral Jernuld Wright. the Atlan- tic commander of, NATO. He pointed out that Russia is sharp- enlniz her teeth under her Geneva smile. He also estimated Russia's submarine fleet at 400. And he went on to any that it was double the size of all the submarines of all the navles in the world.

Great Britain, to be sure, has a hard enough time battling with the Nasi U-boats in 1910. But the Soviet submarine fleet today is ten times the sin of the Nazi fleet of 1940.

Marilimes Need ”Colombo" Plan

Toronto Star Weekly Premier Smallwood of Newfiiud-

land dramatized this lack when he proposed to the royal commission that federal government should es- tablish ”an all-Canadian Colombo Plan deslgncd to bring help to the under-developed parts of our coun- try.

Through the Colombo Plan, the dominion government is helping the people of India, Pakistan and Cey- lon develop their resource and raise their living standards. This is a worthwhile and indeed on ur- gent project. But, as Mr. Small- wood suggests, the have-not prov- inces of Canada surely have as good a claim to federal aid in develop ing their resources.

CAPITAL NEEDED

This could be used, first of all, to map out resources and study pussi- bilities for new industries. Next there is a need for capital in setting up these new industries. The will and ability to manage such develop- ment are present in the Maritimes. but money for large-scale capital investment is lacking. For example capital for steam plants might en- able the coal industry to provide a large additional supply of elect- ric power.

Without the Maritime Provinces Canada could not have become a nation in the political sense. For the good of the whole country. as well as their own. they should be fully integrated with the Canadian economy.

know what a lot of you mothers think about as you take time out from your housework feed your baby his battle of .

You glance around the room and say to yourself:

Oh, I could get so much more done if I didn't have to stop to feed him."

Things sort of pile up when there is a baby in the house. don't they? Well. don't worry about them while you're feeding your baby.

Let me also caution you not to do what some busy motile I do. Don't lay your baby down to eat and prop the bottle up beside him so he can feed himself. When your tot in old enough to hold the bottle it is a different matter. Then he can drink alone, sometimes. But when you have to prop the bottle up, he is too young to feed himself. There are several reasons why it is best for you to feed -him.

MAY CAUSE COLIC A bottle might easily slip from its prop. If it does, your baby might suck in a lot of air which can- cause colic. Or, he will lose the nipple entirely and become irritated and begin to wall. You give your baby more than food when you hold him while he eats or drinks his milk. You also give him companionship. Parental love is extremely important to a baby and aids greatly in bringing him up as a normal, healthy child. Besides. you need this rest per- iod. You can't run around the house at full steam all day. These feedings can serve as sort of a coffee break" without the coffee. So, sit back and take it easy. Your baby will enjoy his meal more if you are relaxed and are not.lh-inking of getting to work again. , Now about this matter of let- ting an older child hold a bottle by himself. As I said, that is all right, sometimes. But be sure you do not let him do it just before he goes to sleep. If he does. he may come to depend on falling asleep with his battle in his hands. No lihably should develop 3 habit. like a .

QUESTION AND ANSWER

C. T.: Would it be dangerous for a young girl of seventeen, who was afflicted with rheumatic fever to cook, help with house-work or ride in a car?

Answer: Whether or not a girl of 17 with rheumatic fever should engage in the activities listed would depend upon the extent of the dam- age which the disease has pro- duced. If the heart has been only slightly damaged, these ac. tivities probably would not be harmful.
