PAGE 4 TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1958,
Britainâs Difficult Choice
It is significant that the British
Labour Party, while criticising the
Macmillan Governmentâs action in
sending British troops into Jordan, ,
frankly concedes the latitude given
for such action under international
law. Opposition Leader Hugh Gaits-
kill noted that the Jordan Govern-
ment had appealed. to both Britain
and the United States under Article
51 of the United Nations Charter.
âNone of us-in any quarter of the
â House,â he said, âwould: deny that
there are circumstances in which, in
the event of armed attack, it is right
and proper and fully justifiable not
only for the government of a coun-
try that is attacked, but for their
allies, to go to the defense and as-
sistance of the country attacked
even before the matter has been re-
ferred to the Security Council.â _
Mr. Gaitskill accepted the Prime.
Ministerâs assurance that in this case
there was danger of attack of some
kind from the outside. He questioned
merely whether the Government had
acted wisely, or whether it was really
necessary to have stepped in ahead
of the United Nations. âWe regard
this latest move of the Government,â |
he said, âhowever sincerely taken,
as fraught with the gravestâ risks, -
both to our own interests and to the
peace of the world.â |
Prime Minister Macmillan replied
that he was well aware of the dan+
gers involved in the action taken.
But had the Opposition addressed
themselves âsufficiently to the dan-
gers that would result from doing |
nothing? âIf there were not any
dangers it would not have been so
difficult to make this decision,â he
added. âBut I would deny that this
is in itself a. reason why we should
not have taken this decision, for in
all these matters we have to weigh
one set of dangers against another,â
The great danger, of course, was
that the Soviets would react with a_|
countermilitary move, and so involve
both Britain and the United States
in an interminable struggle. But the
Western powers have evidently de-
cided that the hour has struck in
which to choose between doing noth-
ing or seeing not only the Middle
East lost to the free :world but
eventual collapse of all the peripheralâ
areasâTurkey, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi
Arabia, and even what js left of free
institutions in Asia and Africa. It
was a grave decision to make; but
it can be said that the more the |
operation succeeds in stabilizing the â
Middle East area the less danger
there will be of a general war.
Stiff Competition
Much is being said about the stiff
competition Canadian salt fishâ'
produced mainly in Newfoundland;
with some operations in Nova Scotia
-âis meeting in traditional markets,
Tn this connection the following ex-
tracts from a speech delivered in
the Senate by the Hon. C. C. Pratt »
of Newfoundland may be of interest.
âOur chief competitors in the |
foreign markets are. Iceland, Nor-
._ way, Denmark and France. The
various farms of assistance vary
with each country, but the general
effect on the industry. is not very
dissimilar, âFrance pays an exorbit-
ant subsidy equal.to about $3.50 per
hundredweight. Norway has various
means of assisting which includes
direct subsidies in units of production
to fishermen, subsidies to processors
and exporters, as well as contribu-
tions to cost of fishing gear.
âThe United Kingdom, whose
product is used mostly for local con-
sumption, has subsidies both for ves?
sels on a daily basis of operation and
on a, production basis for cod and
other ground fish which: would ap-
proximate $3 per hundredweight on
our dried weight basis of calculation,
Those subsidies are the equivalent
of about 30 per cent of the average
prices paid to fishermen at points of
production in Newfoundland. Den-
mark and the Faroe Islands are in
the process of financing large new
fishing boats which will actually be
freezing and processing plants, to-
the amount of 37 million kroner, half
of which comes from the Marshall
Aid Fund.
âIceland which is our leading
competitor, gives the greatest direct
assistance to their fishing fleets.
The Icelandic Government pays to
owners of trawlers the equivalent of
$250 per day for each boat; for
trawlers that produce salted fish
sold in competition with our product,
$360 per day for each boat. Boats
built since 1949 are given an extra
subsidy of the equivalent $35 because
of higher capital costs. There is also
a subsidy toward fuel costs. Sub-
sidies for motor-boat fishermen, |
plants and fish as exported go. well
over the equivalent of $10 million.
The total subsidies in Iceland for |
their fisheries approximated $20 mil-
lion in 1957. It seems incredible but
jt isa fact that the Icelandic Govern-
- ment has announced direct subsidies
for the industry that in 1958 will
bring the total up to approximately
80 per cent of the total value of the
product.â ,,, :
Free Trade
There is something to be said for
Opposition Leader Pearsonâs sug-
gestion that Canada take the lead in
using the 6-nation European Com-
mon Market as a âspringboardâ to
an Atlantic free trade area. It may
not be practicable now; but it may
be an attractive idea to keep in mind
for the future.
The Governmentâs view seems to
be that while closer trading rela-
tions with North Atlantic countries
are desirable, these can be brought
~ about outside of the Common Mar-
ket formula. This is to suggest that
" France, Italy, West Germany, Bel- |
gium, the Netherlands and Luxem
bourg, once they haye completed their
plans for a common market, will not |
American products out of that area.
Should the situation develop in this
- way, Canadaâs position will be at
least as satisfactory as it is now.
But isnât it a little unusual for a
number of countries to band them-
selves together by a system of pre-
ferential tariffs and then invite out-
siders to join in the benefits? Cer-
tainly, the Commonwealth system
does not work that way. | â
In any event, before Canada can
take the lead in proposing an Atlan-
tic free trade area, serious considera-
tion will have to be given to the free
trade suggestion made by the British
Government last year. We still think
that, that idea has been treated too
lightly at Ottawa:

There has been some talk of
Canadaâs being asked to act as
âmediatorââ in the Middle East
crisis. It isnât likely to pass beyond
the talking stage, however. Nor is
- there much to mediate. The British
and Americans have stated that they
will withdraw their troops from
Jordan and Lebanon just as soon
as, but not before, the United, Na-
tions can guarantee the security of
both nations. No mediation by any
other country will change that

âin line with The Guardianâs sug-

OTTAWA â Mr. J. W. Murphy,
the Conservative M.P. from Sar-
nia, has repeatedly focussed Par-
liamentâs attention upon the need.
to stimulate scientific research
in government and industrial cir-
cles in Canada. ;
He has recently brought. this
topie forward once again, with a
new angle. He has proposed the
establishment of annual âScience
Fairs,ââ to be held in as many
communities as possible across
Canada. At these Parades of
Junior Science, the school-child-
âren entrants will , exhibit âtheir
own scientific creations, | devised
and constructed by themselves.
And in these contests, the child-
ren and teen-agers will compete
for high honour future technical
training, vacation jobs and ul-
timately life jobs, but small im-
mediate prizes. :
The new emphasis is on tech-
nical training and scientific de-
velopment. In this we of the free
world, and especially we Canad-
ians, are lagging disastrously be-
hind the Russians. But dy her

to the various possible forms of
nuclear fuel. We are, and should
long remain, one of the worldâs
leading producers of uranium, the
raw material of atomic fuels.
But it is the Americans and the
Russians and especially the Bri-
tish who are leading experiments
and research into the various
âmethods of enriching uranium
will one day be the universal
and highly valued âââlittle black
boxes,ââ each containing enough
back and forth across the ocean
for three years without refuelling.
Mention of the nautical use of
nuclear enengy brings to mind
the immense value of such power
to us, with our proposed devel-
opment of the northern and arc-
tic regions. Plentiful fuel will be
the one essential key which could
unlock our northern treasure
chest foreseen in Prime Minis-
ter Diefenbakerâs ââvision.ââ
But can we ship huge quanti-
âmodern bulk fuel to
there which are frozen more than
half the year? No but we could
airlift a plentiful supply of ââlittle
black boxesâ to power icebreak-
ers and freighters and nuclear
electric power stations and heat-
ing planits and smelters even with-
in sight of the North Pole.
OTTAWA. SEEKS A-POWER
Three government , Ss
are now interested in the possib-
ilities of using nuclear power in
ships, for transportation or ice-
breaking work. These aré the de-
partments of National Defence,
Northern Affairs and Transport,
But there is no existing machin-
ery for co-operation between the
departments on this problem;
more important, there is no ma-
chinery whereby Ottawa can work
with outside or foreign groups on
this problem of developing nu-
clear power for all peaceful pur- |-
poses. ;
_ Our whole thinking is now gear-
ed to economic independence.
But in this scientific age, we are
lagging. We are in danger of be-
coming, instead of hewers of
wood and drawers of waiter for
American plants, mere miners of
uranium which will then be ex-
ported raw, to be processed by
highly paid skilled workers, and
finally sold back to us by those
other nations which have acquir-
ed the know-how to process our |â
Canadian unanium. oe
After years of do-nil there is
now an urgent need for the gov-
ernment to set upâan exploratory
and co-ordinating committee to
study such scientific problems of
today and tomorrow. This might
well be a cabinet | committee,
namely a committee under the
chairmanship of a Minister with
Ministers or representatives. of
other interested, departments,. and
on which Crown Corporations and |â
even private industry. could be
represented. There is a precedent
for this in the Industrial and
Scientific Committee on Research,
a Cabinet Committee in existence
during the last war. It would be
appropriate to revive this com-
mittee now, to work through the
new phase of the cold war.
. Thus, the eggs laid on the go-
vernment doorstep many years
ago by Sarniaâs J. W. Murphy
have grown, through years of
neglect, into full-grown geese now
overdue for attention. .

Hungaryâs Torture Goes On
New York Times
\
The horrible case of the torture
of Hungary refuses to die. The
United Nations Special Commit-
tee has ânow reported that at
least a hundred more of the out-
rageous ââtreasonâââ trials are
again in process and that in some
eases persons who had previous-
ly âescaped withâ their lives are
again put in the shadow of the
gallows. i
_ Meanwhile, Khrushchev, in
Moscow, noisily asserts that the
United States is fomenting agita-
tion concerning Hungary for the
purpose of impeding a summit,
conference. :
This may mean two things.
First, it may mean simply that
the Soviet Unzon has no intention
of having an honest summit con-
ference and will take any excuse
âeven as foul - smelling a one
as this â to get out of it.
The other is that even the
Kremlin has some slight sensitiv-
ity to world opinion and feels ob-
liged to continue its efforts to
justify the Hungarian terror and
to shift blame for it elsewhere.
ABSURD DECLARATION
-In line with the latter tis the
absurd declaration by the Rus-
sians here that if free Hungarians
did not stop even peaceful de-
monstrations against the Hungar-
ian atrocity the Soviet Union
might. be forced to retire from
the deliberations of the United
Nations. This is slightly reminis-
cent of the walkout in 1950 that
backfired when Korea was invad-
ed by the Communists. Another
walkout might help, not hurt, at
this stage,
Certainlyâ the Soviet delegates
in the United Nations have con-
tributed nothing toward getting
at either truth or justice in the
Hungarian case. The official body
of the United Nations, delegated
to report on the case. has been
impeded at every turn by the
Soviet Union and its puppets.
Even the poor, shabby, disrupted
Communist party in the United
States has now felt impelled. to
toe the Moscow line.
Even the Kremlin cannot be
thick-skinned enough not to real-
ize that the whole free world has
been sick with horror at what
has been done to the Hungarian
people. To that must now be add-
ed an outright nausea at the
rumblings of a pietistic Khrush-
chev over the ââlegalityâ. of the
Hungarian murders, and his pro-
test against the complaints of

There are other contrasts, too,
as startling as a temperature
range of 170 degrees. In this land
of Arectie latitudes, midwinter

summer the midlight sun.
In much of central Alaska, an-
naul' rainfall averages but 10 to.
15 inches a year and in places
6 âto 8 inches. The mist-shrouded
southeast coast, on the other
hand, gets 150 inches or more.
People joke thatâ they measure
rain not by feet but fathoms.
SCENERY AND RESOURCES
Alaskan scenery mixes fire
with ice, as in the once furiously
active volcanic showplace, the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.
Preserved now in the vast Kat-
mai National Monument, the Val-
ley was discovered and explor-
ed in a series of National Geo-
graphie expeditions.

Roaming its more than 3,000 squ-
arl miles of forest lakes and moun
tains are caribou, mountain sheep
bears, wolves and other speci-
mens of Alaskaâs abundant wild-
life. :
Economically, Alaskaâs im-
mense. resources in salmon and
other fisheries, forests, furs, oil,
and minerals have hardly been
tapped. Enough wealth; however,

the gold rush days are a mem-
ory, the annual gold yield still
amounts to more than $8 mil-
lion a year. One Nome bank will
eash a poke of gold if asked.
Giant Alaskaâ is small in one
respect. Jits population is estima-
ted at about 213,000, including
military personnel at various bas-
es and strategic outposts, and
the native Eskimos Indians, and
Aleuts.: At that, say the Alas-
kans, they have the fastest-grow-
ing population in the country, hav-
ing tripled their numbers since
1940. ,
Alaskaâs vigor is demonstrated
by its enthusiastic use of the

Seven Danger
Signals Cited
By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.
MANY of you, Iâm sure, have
heard of the seven danger sig-
nals of cancer. Iâve advised you
about their-importance time and
again.
Now letâs talk about another
series of seven â what. the
American Cancer Society terms
âThe Seven Tragic Diagnostic
Mistakes,â
While primarily rules for doc-
tors to follow in treating patients,
T think these seven points should
also be called to the attention of
the general public.
ASK FOR EXPLANATION
If you know where a doctor âis
most likely to slip up on one or
more of the signals, you might
ask him to explain to you about
some of these precautions.
Unfortunately, doctors © some-
times may fail to make an early
diagnosis of intra-oral cancer
because they assume on your
first visit that a lesion merely
may he a âcanker sore.ââ A sim-
ple biopsy of the lesion will give
conclusive evidence whether it is
malignant or benign. |
Failure to diagnose carcinoma
of the breast might occur because
the physician at first believes the
lump is a benign lesion such as
fat necrosis or inflammation.
\ r
DONâT TAKE CHANCES
I want to emphasize that any
Jump in the breast must be as-
f be malignant until
thorough investigation proves
otherwise. That is why you should
go to your doctor early. Most
lumps, fortunately, are not mal-
jgnant, but you canât afford to
take a chance.
The Cancer Society also
wanns that to treat a patient with
the conviction. that his symptoms
are due to a duodenal or benign
gastrie ulcer without radiologic
or laboratory evidence of the di-
sease is to miss a possible diag-
nosis of cancer of the âstomach.

the stomach, gastric analysis for

especially one of long duration,
which suddenly becomes sumpto-
matic, may be associated with
carcinomatous lesions of the pros-
tate or colon. Itâs important that
in such cases the doctors do not
devote all their attention to the
hernia, but also investigate the
possibility of prostatic or colon
lesions. Es

âThe ACS warns that failure to
recognize that bleeding piles may
mask coexisting rectal cartcer is
a âa tragic oversight.ââ Digital

A seventh serious error is to
treat anemia without recognizing
that cancer may be the primary
cause of the loss of blood. Cancer
anywhere in the body may be as-
sociated with anemia, and gastric
and large bowel cancers are no-
torious for the anemia they cause,

PAGE 4 TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1958,
Britainâs Difficult Choice
It is significant that the British
Labour Party, while criticising the
Macmillan Governmentâs action in
sending British troops into Jordan, ,
frankly concedes the latitude given
for such action under international
law. Opposition Leader Hugh Gaits-
kill noted that the Jordan Govern-
ment had appealed. to both Britain
and the United States under Article
51 of the United Nations Charter.
âNone of us-in any quarter of the
â House,â he said, âwould: deny that
there are circumstances in which, in
the event of armed attack, it is right
and proper and fully justifiable not
only for the government of a coun-
try that is attacked, but for their
allies, to go to the defense and as-
sistance of the country attacked
even before the matter has been re-
ferred to the Security Council.â _
Mr. Gaitskill accepted the Prime.
Ministerâs assurance that in this case
there was danger of attack of some
kind from the outside. He questioned
merely whether the Government had
acted wisely, or whether it was really
necessary to have stepped in ahead
of the United Nations. âWe regard
this latest move of the Government,â |
he said, âhowever sincerely taken,
as fraught with the gravestâ risks, -
both to our own interests and to the
peace of the world.â |
Prime Minister Macmillan replied
that he was well aware of the dan+
gers involved in the action taken.
But had the Opposition addressed
themselves âsufficiently to the dan-
gers that would result from doing |
nothing? âIf there were not any
dangers it would not have been so
difficult to make this decision,â he
added. âBut I would deny that this
is in itself a. reason why we should
not have taken this decision, for in
all these matters we have to weigh
one set of dangers against another,â
The great danger, of course, was
that the Soviets would react with a_|
countermilitary move, and so involve
both Britain and the United States
in an interminable struggle. But the
Western powers have evidently de-
cided that the hour has struck in
which to choose between doing noth-
ing or seeing not only the Middle
East lost to the free :world but
eventual collapse of all the peripheralâ
areasâTurkey, Pakistan, Iran, Saudi
Arabia, and even what js left of free
institutions in Asia and Africa. It
was a grave decision to make; but
it can be said that the more the |
operation succeeds in stabilizing the â
Middle East area the less danger
there will be of a general war.
Stiff Competition
Much is being said about the stiff
competition Canadian salt fishâ'
produced mainly in Newfoundland;
with some operations in Nova Scotia
-âis meeting in traditional markets,
Tn this connection the following ex-
tracts from a speech delivered in
the Senate by the Hon. C. C. Pratt »
of Newfoundland may be of interest.
âOur chief competitors in the |
foreign markets are. Iceland, Nor-
._ way, Denmark and France. The
various farms of assistance vary
with each country, but the general
effect on the industry. is not very
dissimilar, âFrance pays an exorbit-
ant subsidy equal.to about $3.50 per
hundredweight. Norway has various
means of assisting which includes
direct subsidies in units of production
to fishermen, subsidies to processors
and exporters, as well as contribu-
tions to cost of fishing gear.
âThe United Kingdom, whose
product is used mostly for local con-
sumption, has subsidies both for ves?
sels on a daily basis of operation and
on a, production basis for cod and
other ground fish which: would ap-
proximate $3 per hundredweight on
our dried weight basis of calculation,
Those subsidies are the equivalent
of about 30 per cent of the average
prices paid to fishermen at points of
production in Newfoundland. Den-
mark and the Faroe Islands are in
the process of financing large new
fishing boats which will actually be
freezing and processing plants, to-
the amount of 37 million kroner, half
of which comes from the Marshall
Aid Fund.
âIceland which is our leading
competitor, gives the greatest direct
assistance to their fishing fleets.
The Icelandic Government pays to
owners of trawlers the equivalent of
$250 per day for each boat; for
trawlers that produce salted fish
sold in competition with our product,
$360 per day for each boat. Boats
built since 1949 are given an extra
subsidy of the equivalent $35 because
of higher capital costs. There is also
a subsidy toward fuel costs. Sub-
sidies for motor-boat fishermen, |
plants and fish as exported go. well
over the equivalent of $10 million.
The total subsidies in Iceland for |
their fisheries approximated $20 mil-
lion in 1957. It seems incredible but
jt isa fact that the Icelandic Govern-
- ment has announced direct subsidies
for the industry that in 1958 will
bring the total up to approximately
80 per cent of the total value of the
product.â ,,, :
Free Trade
There is something to be said for
Opposition Leader Pearsonâs sug-
gestion that Canada take the lead in
using the 6-nation European Com-
mon Market as a âspringboardâ to
an Atlantic free trade area. It may
not be practicable now; but it may
be an attractive idea to keep in mind
for the future.
The Governmentâs view seems to
be that while closer trading rela-
tions with North Atlantic countries
are desirable, these can be brought
~ about outside of the Common Mar-
ket formula. This is to suggest that
" France, Italy, West Germany, Bel- |
gium, the Netherlands and Luxem
bourg, once they haye completed their
plans for a common market, will not |
American products out of that area.
Should the situation develop in this
- way, Canadaâs position will be at
least as satisfactory as it is now.
But isnât it a little unusual for a
number of countries to band them-
selves together by a system of pre-
ferential tariffs and then invite out-
siders to join in the benefits? Cer-
tainly, the Commonwealth system
does not work that way. | â
In any event, before Canada can
take the lead in proposing an Atlan-
tic free trade area, serious considera-
tion will have to be given to the free
trade suggestion made by the British
Government last year. We still think
that, that idea has been treated too
lightly at Ottawa:

There has been some talk of
Canadaâs being asked to act as
âmediatorââ in the Middle East
crisis. It isnât likely to pass beyond
the talking stage, however. Nor is
- there much to mediate. The British
and Americans have stated that they
will withdraw their troops from
Jordan and Lebanon just as soon
as, but not before, the United, Na-
tions can guarantee the security of
both nations. No mediation by any
other country will change that

OTTAWA â Mr. J. W. Murphy,
the Conservative M.P. from Sar-

liamentâs attention upon the need.
to stimulate scientific research
in government and industrial cir-
cles in Canada. ;
He has recently brought. this
topie forward once again, with a
new angle. He has proposed the
establishment of annual âScience
Fairs,ââ to be held in as many
communities as possible across
Canada. At these Parades of
Junior Science, the school-child-
âren entrants will , exhibit âtheir

and constructed by themselves.
And in these contests, the child-
ren and teen-agers will compete
for high honour future technical
training, vacation jobs and ul-
timately life jobs, but small im-
mediate prizes. :
The new emphasis is on tech-
nical training and scientific de-
velopment. In this we of the free

ians, are lagging disastrously be-
hind the Russians. But dy her

nuclear fuel. We are, and should
long remain, one of the worldâs
leading producers of uranium, the
raw material of atomic fuels.
But it is the Americans and the
Russians and especially the Bri-
tish who are leading experiments
and research into the various
âmethods of enriching uranium
will one day be the universal
and highly valued âââlittle black
boxes,ââ each containing enough
back and forth across the ocean
for three years without refuelling.
Mention of the nautical use of
nuclear enengy brings to mind
the immense value of such power
to us, with our proposed devel-
opment of the northern and arc-
tic regions. Plentiful fuel will be
the one essential key which could
unlock our northern treasure
chest foreseen in Prime Minis-
ter Diefenbakerâs ââvision.ââ
But can we ship huge quanti-
âmodern bulk fuel to
there which are frozen more than
half the year? No but we could
airlift a plentiful supply of ââlittle
black boxesâ to power icebreak-
ers and freighters and nuclear
electric power stations and heat-
ing planits and smelters even with-
in sight of the North Pole.
OTTAWA. SEEKS A-POWER
Three government , Ss
are now interested in the possib-
ilities of using nuclear power in
ships, for transportation or ice-
breaking work. These aré the de-
partments of National Defence,
Northern Affairs and Transport,
But there is no existing machin-
ery for co-operation between the
departments on this problem;
more important, there is no ma-
chinery whereby Ottawa can work
with outside or foreign groups on
this problem of developing nu-
clear power for all peaceful pur- |-
poses. ;
_ Our whole thinking is now gear-
ed to economic independence.
But in this scientific age, we are
lagging. We are in danger of be-
coming, instead of hewers of
wood and drawers of waiter for
American plants, mere miners of
uranium which will then be ex-
ported raw, to be processed by
highly paid skilled workers, and
finally sold back to us by those
other nations which have acquir-
ed the know-how to process our |â
Canadian unanium. oe
After years of do-nil there is
now an urgent need for the gov-
ernment to set upâan exploratory
and co-ordinating committee to
study such scientific problems of
today and tomorrow. This might
well be a cabinet | committee,
namely a committee under the
chairmanship of a Minister with
Ministers or representatives. of
other interested, departments,. and
on which Crown Corporations and |â
even private industry. could be
represented. There is a precedent
for this in the Industrial and
Scientific Committee on Research,
a Cabinet Committee in existence
during the last war. It would be
appropriate to revive this com-
mittee now, to work through the
new phase of the cold war.
. Thus, the eggs laid on the go-
vernment doorstep many years
ago by Sarniaâs J. W. Murphy
have grown, through years of
neglect, into full-grown geese now
overdue for attention. .

Hungaryâs Torture Goes On
New York Times
\
The horrible case of the torture
of Hungary refuses to die. The
United Nations Special Commit-
tee has ânow reported that at
least a hundred more of the out-
rageous ââtreasonâââ trials are
again in process and that in some
eases persons who had previous-
ly âescaped withâ their lives are
again put in the shadow of the
gallows. i
_ Meanwhile, Khrushchev, in
Moscow, noisily asserts that the
United States is fomenting agita-
tion concerning Hungary for the
purpose of impeding a summit,
conference. :
This may mean two things.
First, it may mean simply that
the Soviet Unzon has no intention
of having an honest summit con-
ference and will take any excuse
âeven as foul - smelling a one
as this â to get out of it.
The other is that even the
Kremlin has some slight sensitiv-
ity to world opinion and feels ob-
liged to continue its efforts to
justify the Hungarian terror and
to shift blame for it elsewhere.
ABSURD DECLARATION
-In line with the latter tis the
absurd declaration by the Rus-
sians here that if free Hungarians
did not stop even peaceful de-
monstrations against the Hungar-
ian atrocity the Soviet Union
might. be forced to retire from
the deliberations of the United
Nations. This is slightly reminis-
cent of the walkout in 1950 that
backfired when Korea was invad-
ed by the Communists. Another
walkout might help, not hurt, at
this stage,
Certainlyâ the Soviet delegates
in the United Nations have con-
tributed nothing toward getting
at either truth or justice in the
Hungarian case. The official body
of the United Nations, delegated
to report on the case. has been
impeded at every turn by the
Soviet Union and its puppets.
Even the poor, shabby, disrupted
Communist party in the United
States has now felt impelled. to
toe the Moscow line.
Even the Kremlin cannot be
thick-skinned enough not to real-
ize that the whole free world has
been sick with horror at what
has been done to the Hungarian
people. To that must now be add-
ed an outright nausea at the
rumblings of a pietistic Khrush-
chev over the ââlegalityâ. of the
Hungarian murders, and his pro-
test against the complaints of

There are other contrasts, too,
as startling as a temperature
range of 170 degrees. In this land
of Arectie latitudes, midwinter
brings sunset at noon, and mid-
summer the midlight sun.
In much of central Alaska, an-
naul' rainfall averages but 10 to.
15 inches a year and in places
6 âto 8 inches. The mist-shrouded
southeast coast, on the other
hand, gets 150 inches or more.
People joke thatâ they measure
rain not by feet but fathoms.
SCENERY AND RESOURCES
Alaskan scenery mixes fire
with ice, as in the once furiously
active volcanic showplace, the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.
Preserved now in the vast Kat-
mai National Monument, the Val-
ley was discovered and explor-
ed in a series of National Geo-
graphie expeditions.

Roaming its more than 3,000 squ-
arl miles of forest lakes and moun
tains are caribou, mountain sheep
bears, wolves and other speci-
mens of Alaskaâs abundant wild-
life. :
Economically, Alaskaâs im-
mense. resources in salmon and
other fisheries, forests, furs, oil,
and minerals have hardly been
tapped. Enough wealth; however,

the gold rush days are a mem-
ory, the annual gold yield still
amounts to more than $8 mil-
lion a year. One Nome bank will
eash a poke of gold if asked.
Giant Alaskaâ is small in one
respect. Jits population is estima-
ted at about 213,000, including
military personnel at various bas-
es and strategic outposts, and
the native Eskimos Indians, and
Aleuts.: At that, say the Alas-
kans, they have the fastest-grow-
ing population in the country, hav-
ing tripled their numbers since
1940. ,
Alaskaâs vigor is demonstrated
by its enthusiastic use of the

Seven Danger
Signals Cited
By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.
MANY of you, Iâm sure, have
heard of the seven danger sig-
nals of cancer. Iâve advised you
about their-importance time and
again.
Now letâs talk about another
series of seven â what. the
American Cancer Society terms
âThe Seven Tragic Diagnostic
Mistakes,â
While primarily rules for doc-
tors to follow in treating patients,
T think these seven points should
also be called to the attention of
the general public.
ASK FOR EXPLANATION
If you know where a doctor âis
most likely to slip up on one or
more of the signals, you might
ask him to explain to you about
some of these precautions.
Unfortunately, doctors © some-
times may fail to make an early
diagnosis of intra-oral cancer
because they assume on your
first visit that a lesion merely
may he a âcanker sore.ââ A sim-
ple biopsy of the lesion will give
conclusive evidence whether it is
malignant or benign. |
Failure to diagnose carcinoma
of the breast might occur because
the physician at first believes the
lump is a benign lesion such as
fat necrosis or inflammation.
\ r
DONâT TAKE CHANCES
I want to emphasize that any
Jump in the breast must be as-
f be malignant until
thorough investigation proves
otherwise. That is why you should
go to your doctor early. Most
lumps, fortunately, are not mal-
jgnant, but you canât afford to
take a chance.
The Cancer Society also
wanns that to treat a patient with
the conviction. that his symptoms
are due to a duodenal or benign
gastrie ulcer without radiologic
or laboratory evidence of the di-
sease is to miss a possible diag-
nosis of cancer of the âstomach.
Barium X-ray examination of
the stomach, gastric analysis for
acid content and study of the fec-
prior to beginning treatment for
suspected peptic ulcer,
INGUINAL HERNIA
âDoctors. sometimes fail. to re-
especially one of long duration,
which suddenly becomes sumpto-
matic, may be associated with
carcinomatous lesions of the pros-
tate or colon. Itâs important that
in such cases the doctors do not
devote all their attention to the
hernia, but also investigate the
possibility of prostatic or colon
lesions. Es
Abnormal uterine bleeding
should not, as a rule, be treated
with hormones unless âa __ historic
diagnosis shows it is not caused

TRAGIC OVERSIGHT
âThe ACS warns that failure to
recognize that bleeding piles may
mask coexisting rectal cartcer is
a âa tragic oversight.ââ Digital
rectal examination proc-
tosigmoidoscopy and barium
rectum and colon. foi
A seventh serious error is to
treat anemia without recognizing
that cancer may be the primary
cause of the loss of blood. Cancer
anywhere in the body may be as-
sociated with anemia, and gastric
and large bowel cancers are no-
torious for the anemia they cause,
