; The 49th State

| For the residents of Alaska this
_ year’s Fourth of July will be a special
_day for rejoicing. They will, with
q other Americans, celebrate another
1 birthday anniversary of the nation.
| They will also celebrate Alaska’s
| entry into the Union as the 49th
State. It will of course, be several
‘months before the formalities are
completed. But that is a small matter.
The action of the Congress is, for all
practical purposes, already effective.
Soon, the new state of Alaska will
elect two Senators and one represen-
‘tative to look after its interests in
Washington.

It has been a long fight. More
than 40 years ago the Alaskans
atarted their agitation for statehood.
Their hopes were blocked, in the
main, by © conservative Southern
‘Senators who feared that a new State
‘would be one more hindrance to their
campaign against civil rights for
Negroes. Some Republican Senators
from the North opposed bringing
Alaska into the fold because they
feared that the new State would fol-
low a Demoeratic pattern, as it has
done almost consistently in its terri-
torial elections. But, at long last,
simple justice has triumphed over
political fears; and soon the Sover-
eign State of Alaska will take its
proper place in the legislative coun-
eils of the nation. It will also, of
course, have its own State Govern-
iment with’ all the trappings.

The name “Alaska” comes from

base, it ranks high; and its agricul-

severe as is sometimes thought. In
fact, many of the coastal areas have

Although we lost on that point,

achieved tremendous gains for
Canada on other points, notably
the recognition of the ownership
of the Continental shelf, up to a
depth of 100 fathoms,-or 600 feet,

In the Arctic Ocean, among the
huge islands, the shelf is as yet
unmeasured, but is suspected of
being very large indeed.

Jt has. been guessed that the
gain of under-water territory to
Canada through this international |
agreement may be about one
‘million square miles. This is equi-
valent to adding one quarter to
the area of this huge country. But,
as Alvin Hamilton told me, that
is clearly a guess, and not even
an educated guess, at this stage
of ignorance about the Arctic. -

The significance of this great
acquisition of territorial rights
adjoining our coasts is that our
portion of the Continental Shelf
is believed to contain immense
mineral resources, which are now
protected against raiding by for-
eigners. Off Nova Scotia, we have
for years been mining coal far
out beneath the Atlantic Ocean.

Iceland's Fishing Claims -

Winnipeg Free Press

Trouble is brewing between the
United Kingdom. and Iceland, be-
cause Iceland has given notice
that in September she will begin
to keep all foreign fishing boats
at least twelve miles off her
shores. This is a dispute in which
Canada is interested because, in
extending her offshore fishing
limits to twelve miles, Iceland is
doing something that Canada
would like to do. But Iceland is
making the move unilaterally;
Canada would prefer to extend
her fising limits in cooperation
with the other countries involy-
ed.
For many years the rich fish-
ing grounds near. the eoast of
Iceland have been fished by
trawlers from Britain and other
European countries. ™ these fish-
eries: are now to be denied them
—as they will be by the imposi-
tion of a twelve-mile limit—their
catch will suffer greatly.

As a result, Britain has sent
a note to the Icelandic Govern-
ment saying that she will nefuse
to recognize the twelve-mile limit
and will prevent any unlawful
attempt to interfere with British
fishing vessels ‘‘on the high seas.”

ed from baselines drawn across
widely separated headlands.
Within the newly-enclosed areas
all fishing by foreigners, and
trawling and seine fishing by
Icelanders, was forbidden.

The United Kingdom refused
to recognize the validity of the
new boundaries; and between
1952 and 1957 a total’ of 28 Bri-
tish trawlers and 34 ships of oth-
er nationalities were arrested and
fined heavily for being in forbid-
den waters. Icelandic vessels we
also from time to time, arrested.
In retaliation, Britain imposed a
ban on the landing of Icelandic
fish in the United ‘Kingdom,

The dispute dragged on for
four years before it was settled
-in 1956. But it broke out anew
at the international conference
on the law of the sea, held in
Geneva earler this year. Here
Iceland made it clear that she
wanted at least a twelve mile

Surgery Best
In Most Cases

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.

Because of false modesty, hem-
ornhoids, or piles, often are neg-
lected until they begin bleeding |
excessively or the pain becomes
unbearable.

Since in most cases surgery
is the best method of removing
either internal or external
hemorrhoids, you will have te see
‘a doctor eventually. So why
wait?
ENLARGED VEINS... ... ...

Hemorrhoids are enlarged
veins which form on either the
‘inside or outside of the anus, the
muscular ring at the bowel outlet.
To give you a better idea of
what they are like, you can com-
pare them to varicose veins in
the leg. a

Internal hemorrhoids may
bleed, or they may’ protrude.
Sometimes they do both. The
external type are generally no-
ticed by a sudden painful swell-
ing in the anus, The swelling can
vary from the size of a pea to
the size of a cherry.

SUDDEN ONSET

Very often, hemorrhoids corne
on with a sudden, sharp sting-
ing pain after lifting, roughing or

Any condition which hampers
proper flow of the blood in the

aréa may help cause hemor-

roids.
This means that persons who
lead exceptionally sedentary

tible than more active indivi-
duals. So are rétail clerks and
others who are on their feet for
long periods each day.

SOME CAUSES 4 |

Frequently, hemorrhoids are.
associated with pregnancy. Con-
stipation too, can be a contrib-
uting factor, as might the ex-
cessivé use of cathartics and Jax-
_atives.

Hemorrhoids may affect the
general health, and then again
they may not. Sometimes the
amount of blood lost over a pro-
longed period is enough to pro-
duce anemia, é

While internal hemorrhoids
sometimes disappear by them-
selves, more often they require
medical treatment. Some oint-
‘ments may relieve the pain tem-
porarily. Some electrical treat
ments are helpful; some are not.
And some patiénts report goo]
results when. certain medicines
are injected into the hemorrhoids.

But in the vast majority of
cases surgery is the most effect-
ive treatment.

It has since. been suggested by
Mr. Ferguson Brown, Conserva-

that Canada should do what
Ieeland is doing; that is, declare
a twelve-mile zone without con-
sulting with other countries. But,
as indicated by the Iceland-U.K.
dispute, the disadvantages of un-
ilateral action of this sort might
well outweigh the advantages.
Certainly it would arouse deep
resentment among many of our
friends, including the United Stat-
es, Britain and European count-
ries. In the circumstances the
wiser course of action would,
therefore, be to continue to seek
through compromise a solution
that would provide the necessary

fisheries without inflicting sharp
damage on the fishermen of oth-
er countries. ; .
