I. nu ollll lense it hilc more is no certainty that the Middle East situation has been rendered any less tense as a result of the Eisenhower-Eden talks. it is ;perhaps accurate to say that both sides to the dispute are betterin- lormed now than they were prev- iously on certain military measures which the British and American governments are prepared to take in case diplomatic representations do not have the desired effect. These measures, dispatches from Washing- ton indicate, call for joint British- American action to stop-or so it is hoped-any aggressive foray that may be started by one side or the other. Meanwhile, there will be I lpint "show of force" in the Eastern Mediterranean, the purpose of which is to show both Israel and Egypt that it would be unwise and unprof- itable to start I war. Whether this will act as s moderating influence remains to be seen; but it does seem ggconceivable that either side would lg so foolhardy as to defy great power intervention. ; What the Soviet Union's reaction would be to the British-American police role is not known; at least, filers has been no public word from llgoscow on the hypothetical pros- lgct. Apparently, however, British slid American officials do not be- new that the Soviets would care to precipitate world conflict at this Illme. At the same time, there is nothing to be gained by minimizing the seriousness of the Middle East pltuatiinn: and. reading between the lllnes, one can see that both Presi- . Heat Eisenhower and Prime Minis- lter Eden are by no menu confident -ithat it will not deteriorate still fur- Ether. , l: ll Mr. Roosevelt's Letter 3. President Eisenhower has re- llbeived In importInt lottcr from the lists President Frsnklin D. Roose- fvelt. It was written ton dIyI Ifter the infamous Japanese Ittsck on ',-Pearl Harbor, which brought the l'United States into the Second World :Wsr. Addressed in "tho President of fthe United States in 1956", ilho let- -ter, in Mr. Roosevelt's own hand- iwriting, asked "consideration for lithe merits of I young American of ggoodly heritage, Colin P. Kelly, the ;Third, for appointment as a cadet in -.-the Un-ited States Military at West :Point." The young man's father was Capt. Colin P. Kelly. .Ir., an air force pilot who was killed in action only I few days after the war began. His heroism was much publicized at the itlme, and he was awarded, posthum- gift of his country. Mr. Roosevelt, wishing to do something fitting for the son, and realizing that in all probability he himself would not be around in 1956, wrote the letter of commendation and gave instructions in his will for it to be delivered at I certain date. Needless to say, his wishes will be carried out. Young Kelly, who is now in his 16th year and a high school student in his home town of Concordville, Pa; has ready been notified of the late sidept's action. When he be- hrdcr of the President and by the . lshes of his late benefactor, of pre- Iring himself for 7a career befitting ls "goodly heritage", the son of I lstlngulshed hero.

Whether the new sentiment has yet found its way into official govern- ment circles has not been disclosed; but, if it hasn't, it may be expected to do so very soon, for no govern- ment in the world is more sensitive to public feeling than is the British government, especially when I strong opposition is evident in Par- liament, as is the case at the present time. It will come as no surprise to hear that the Russian leaders visit has been postponed or even cancel- led altogether. After all, hospitality is never I one-sided thing, whether it be between individuals or between governments. Invited guests. as wellg as their hosts, have certain respon- sibilities for good conduct and grac- iousness. If they spend most of their time, preparatory to lheir visit, in slanderlng the people on whom they intend to call, they cannot very well complain if the welcome sign is with- drawn. On the practical side-this, of collrse, is the chief consideration in this particular instance--it is dif- ficult to see how any good could pos- sibly result from a visit which, hav- ing been intended to promote under- standing. had been turned by the visitors into an occasion of anger and illwill. EDITORIAL NOTES The 4 month old strike at Gen- eral Motors plants in Ontario has, so for, cost the workers more than 5524 million in lost wages. One of these days a compromise will be worked out. What a pity it could not have been arranged before the dispute got out of control! 0 O O For what it is worth, the United States Research Institute reports that, according to a recent, survey, less than 1 per cent of business ex- ecutives interviewed expcct to "see a severe economic depression at any time in the next decade. Moreover, more than half of them expect the present prosperity to be permanent. Today's civic election is confined to voting for Councillors in Words 'l1arII. Four mdFivI.

OUR YESTERDAYS From The Gusrdlsn Files TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (February I. 1931) Mr. George Thompson returned from Halifax where he had been supervising the loading of 26.000 bags of island potatoes for Phil- Idelphis, shipped by Poole and Thompson of Montague. While on. the mainland Mr. Thompson was invited to skip a W9RIViIIf! curling lelm Igainst ll Banker-5' team, dc- fcatlng them by a wide margin. An interesting visitor to Summer- Iidc on Saturday was Mr. Ambrose Monsghsn of Kinkora. He has the distinction of being the original in- vector of the threshing and clean- ing machine on Prince Edward Is- lsnd. He also designed and built I specially cnnslrlli-ted type of pot- Ito wsgon, which has been in great demsnd by farmers for the past ten years.

By Patrick Nichdsall The subject of Senate reform is I permanent subject of serious thought in political circles here. Would-he reformers divltld them- selves inlo lwo rlasscs: those who would rllangc lhe method of select- ing senators, and those who would change the present appollilmenl for life. Among the laltcr, one of the most convinced and persistent ad- vocalcs of reform is Frank Foll- wcll. the Liberal MP. I-ll-om Bel- levlllc. Ontario. who is himself I political youngster in his mid-fort- ies. In i954 and attain in 1955, Mr. Follwell placed a motion on the order paper of the House of Com- mons, advocating that Senators should be retired when attaining the age of 75. Illr. Follwell has not yet placed lhe same motion on the order pap- er this year. But Ills thinking has not changed, and he may raise the topic once more. There are also strong reporlrclrculating that the government has in mind some re form measures. one of which would cover this very point. There are today 91 Seniors and il vacancies. Compulsory retire- ment at 75 years of Ige would boost the number of vacancies to Rude Words At Ottawa l(lil.awa Journal) To come upon a rude word in the official report of the House of Com- mulls. and used wilhout correction or protest. shocks one as would profanity in a sermon, so pronoun- ced is the parliamentary concern with decorum in debate and ele glance ill phrascology. But stark it stands on page lll7 of the House reports. Says Mr. Van Horne. interrupting Mr. Roblch- aud: "That is wrong, Sir. You Ire a liar. That is not correct." And Mr. Robichaud retorts that "it is correct" and proceeds with his ll'- gumcnt and no sign of irritation. The Speaker did not say I word Two paragraphs down Mr. Fer- guson jumpcd into the debate. "Of all the crybabics I have ever board." he inlcrjcclcd "the hon. member is the worst." And the Speaker lnslanlly called "Order." it would be wrong, of course. to infer from these observations that it is within the rules of the Com- mons for one member to call In- other member El liar but quite out of bounds to call him a cry-baby.

Mr. Follwcll'I ides would be lo exclude present Senators from the compulsory ro- tlrement. PENSIONS FOR SENATORS At present, I Senator is appoint- ed to serve for life. He therefore will draw the annual remuneration of 310,000 a year until he dies. The only exception is if I Senator vol- untarily retires-lwo have so re- tired in recent years; or if s Sen- ator disqualifics himself by failing to attend for even one day's sitting in the space of two consecutive years. The Upper House wss therefore regarded as being outside the need for I ,enslons system. When pen- sions were instituted for members of the House of Commons four years ago, the Senste was omitted. However. Frsrlk Follwell hss con- sidered this angle; and the instil- ullon of I contributory pensions plan would be I corollary of his compulsory retirement. An alternative reform often dis- cussed hcre would abolish the term of life appointment, and substitute I term of say ten years. This would Iutomatically remove the need for establishing In upper age limit for senators; for neither t t nor elector would select a man or woman who was handicapped by old age or ill health. The validity of this Irgumcnt is of course seen in the member- ship of the House of Commons, which is selected by the people and not by Prime Ministers. Al- though that House has 265 mem- bcrs. or two and one half times the number in the Senate. it has only four members over 75 today, compared to 27 senators of that Igc. in this case. the people use their discretion. and themselves de- cids whether I candidate is young enough-in mind if not in years-lo leglslIte for them. JUDGES MUST RETIRE With very few exceptions, the terms of appointment of judges call for automatic retirement from the bench upon reaching the age of 75 years. Critics of Frank Follwell's pro- posal are numerous, especially among actual and would-be Senat- ors. There is Ilso In undercurrent of sharp criticism Imong Libersl politicians. These describe his pro- possl as "sheer dynsmlte". .
