Idyllic Situation

lf Mohammed Reza Pahlevi, Shah
of Iran, is getting along as well with
the two big power. blocs ashe thinks
he is, it would be a good idea to make
him a sort of standing committee of
one to stabilize Middle East affairs
which, as everyone knows. are in a
sad and bewildering state of fluxion.
The Shah indicated to reporters the
other day that what he called his
“nositive nationalism” (this is not the
| same thing as another modern cure-
all, “positive thinkirig’”’) had achieved
cordial relations with the. Soviet
Union and the Western powers. What
is more, he is makng money out of it.
The Shah stated that “frontier
‘| and economic disputes with the Soviet

ed: agreement had been reached, for
joint utilization of the Araxes River
along the Northwest frontier and the
Atrek River in the Northeast; and
Soviet-Iranian plans for a joint
hydroelectric and irrigation project
were nearing completion. At the same
- time, Iran retained ‘cordial, close and

united relations with the West.” One

instance of this happy state was a big
i) oil deal with Standard Oil of Indiana
‘| under which Iran received $25 million
‘)) and a 50-50 partnership, with half of
Standard’s share going to the Gov-
ernment in taxes. :

All in all, it would seem that the
Shah is enjoying the ‘best of both
worlds, while most of his neighbors
hardly know from day to day just
what side it pays to be on. One hopes
that this idyllic situation will con-

~ Senatorial Qualifications

The announcement that the

Queen has named four women and
ten men to receive life peerages un-
der an Act designed to revitalize the
House of Lords may spur the Cana-
dian Government to do something
about strengthening the Senate. The
time has passed when the ability to
win votes for the ruling party could
properly be considered the only
qualification necessary for a Senate
appointment.
In Britain, where the House of
Lords is top-heavy with Conserva-
tives, the new appointments were al-
most esjually divided between Con-
servatives and non-Conservatives;
the leader of the Labour Party re-
commended six of them.

ne Who Owns Middle East Oil

The Milwaukee Journal :

The middle east, as the cross-
was for centuries of tremengous
strategic importance in any in-
ternational power struggle. That
is why practically every great
power of history was drawn there
and every conqueror of note trod
its sands.

In today's world, however, the
middle east is vital for another
reason. This is its oil, essential
to the industrialized nations of
the free world—to keep their in-

dustrial machines whirring, their

military machines operating, their

The middle east today produces
«amore than one-quarter.of the free
world's oi) supplies. Tt contains
more than two-thirds of the free
world’s known reseres of crude
oil. As demand imereases, it will
have to supply an increasingly
langer share of the world’s needs..
Not until atomic power is widely
available in the free world—i0 to
2% years—will dependence on mid-
dle east oil lessen.

TRIBUTE TO LIFEGUARDS

Sir,—We have witnessed
several near-tragic occurrences
at Cavendish Beach since our
first-time visit to P.E.I. (from
Montreal) more than a week ago.
The lifeguards on duty, always
on the alert, respond with. ex-
ceptional speed, often through
heavy seas, by swimming, row-
ing the life boat or pushing the
surf board. We have seen them
thrown back by massive break-
ing waves, but under the able
and. resourceful leadership of
that very courageous young man
lifeguard James Gallant, they
have always determinedly reach-
ed the victim and carried
through their work of mercy.

With this letter we wish to ex-
press publicly: our admiration for
the gallant work of the lifeguards
and for their constant vigilance
at Cavendish Beach.

We are, Sir, ete.

VISITORS’ TOURS

Sir,—I have noted with interest
the number of tours which have
visited our Province to date this
year, and I have also noted that
there seems to be an “‘Iron Cur-
tain’? at the Hillsboro Bridge
when the routes for these tours
are laid out.

our visifors with the untrue im-
pression that the National Park
is the only, or the best, place for
swimming, when actually it is one

water is continually cold as com-
pared with many other more
favorable locations, and with
the exception of the roped in
areas (which give you the feeling
of a smelt in a net) there is a
great danger from undertow.

If our native Islanders do not
want to enjoy the complete
beauty of their Island, then may
they enjoy themselves on the
other side of the Curtain; but it
is the duty of those who super-
vise tours to see that the tours
include a visit to this end of the
Island, so that its complete

Alan Harvey in the Ottawa Journal

The Canadian House of Com-
mons is to its British equivalent
as a country barn dance is to
a owing session in a dime ; sized
city night spot.

It’s a question of dimensions.
The Ottawa House is large,
roomy and hard on _ hecklers.
London's ‘Mother of Parlia-
ments,” from whose loins it
sprang and whose precedents
it aecepts, is cramped and
claustrophobic by comparison,

That’s the first impression of
a reporter. back on Parliament
Hill after a spell at, Westminster,
Similarities far outnumber dif-
ferences, but there’s that matter
of scale.

In -Canada, 268 MP.’s are
strung out in a ehamber 72 feet
long and 54 feet wide.

In Britain, 630 “awmakers just-
le for an estimated 450 places in
a room 68 feet long and 45. feet
wide, :

NO FIXED SEATING

‘The Britons huddle together on
dark green benches, resembling
steeply - graded bleacher seais.
There are no desks or chairs; i4's
finst come, first served, except
for front - bench MPs and a few
privileged ones, There is no fix-
ed seating plan as at Ottawa.

On big occasions such as Bud-
get Day, the British Parliament
is as crowded as Wembley Sta-
dium on Cup Final day. Mem-
bers spill over into the aisles,
ealled ‘“gangways,”’ or stand up
at one end of the ehamber.
TINY COOKPIT

The special intimacy of the
Birtish Commons is no accident.
When British architect Sir Giles
Scott was building the present
Commons to replace the one Ger-
man fire - bombs destroyed, Sir
Winston Churchill — a devoted
Parliamentarian —. insisted that
the House be kept small,

The standing - room - only ef-
fect gives focus te debates.
There's a sense of concentration,
of issues narrowed: and compress-
ed imto a tiny cockpit of contro-
versy. Members have a feeling
of participation and inspired heck-
Jers in clover...

‘Westminster radiates a mellow
sophistication that younger Ot-
tawa may lack. Safe in the dig-

about protocol. Cabinet ministers
slump in their seats, feet lan-
guidly draped across a table.
Chunchill and his old antago-
nist, Clement (now Earl) Attlee,
adopted the stanice:so often it was
commented that they ought to
“know each other's soles.” Can-
adian MPs are more diffident.
If there seems to be extra pas-
sion in the debates at Westimin-

jand group off Newfoundland.

When General Charles de Gaul-
le returned to power in France,
residents of these islands 1,000
miles northeast of New York
reverently placed a wreath at a
memorial honoring those who
died for France in two world

The wreath symbolized the
wanm feeling that France's old-
est and smallest colony has for
the motherland, tae Natconal Geo-

of St. Pierre and Miquelon typi-

To Tell Onset
Of Mental Ills

By Herman N. Btindensen, M.D. |

ALTHOUGH = few of us realize |
it, all of us have emotional set-
backs ‘some time during our liv-
es. Sometimes it is easy to ad-
just to normalcy again, some-
times it isn’t.

For mental illness, you see,
can, as one psychiatrist puts it,
be as serious as: cancer or as
mild as a common cold.
EMOTIONAL COMPLICATIONS

Between 50 and 70 per cent
of the medical patients ttredea

by physicians’ have some emo-
tional complications which are
an important factor in their il-
nesses.

or a member of your family is

down?

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

P, T.; Js gout curable? hj
have had it for the past 15 years.

Answer: Gout is probably not
totally curable in so far as is
known at present, but attacks
can often be prevented by con-
suming a diet that does not’ con-
tain alcohol or rich foods. The
diet should consist of milk, eggs,
cereals, fruit and non-rich meats.

During an attack, drugs such
as colchicine, cortisone and ACTH
are of help.

The Age Old Story

Heaven and earth shall pass
away: but my words shall not
pass away. :

tween the harbor and the moun-
tains, is the capital and business
center for the islands’ 4,500 in-
habitants. - ;

North of St. Pierre Island lies
Miquelon, a double island some
25 miles long. The northern part,
Grande Miquelon, connects with
Langlade, the southern part, by
means of a sevensmile sandy is-
thmus, Langlade has many farms
Its trout - filled streams, straw-
berries, flowers, pink rock, and
picturesque dunes make it an ap-
pealing vacationland.

BRETON AND BASQUE

St. Pierre and Miquelon began
attraction Breton and Basque
fishermen more than 400 years
ago. When explorer Jacques Car-
tier. stopped for a visit in 1536, he
found fishermen already there.
As the years passed, a village
grew up to care for the needs
of fishermen too far from France
to return home easily.

For several centuries. England
and France alternately controlled
the islands. France gained final
Possession in 1814.

Today the territory has a
French governor, and sends a de-
puty to the French National As-
sembly. Ais always, the inhabi-
tants depend largely on the gea.
Cod, herring, mackerel, and oth-
er fish abound on the near - by
Grand Banks. Unfortunately, mo-
dern vessels and refrigeration
have caused a relative decline in
the importance of the islands as
a port, of call. Vessels from France
no longer need to stop, except
for repairs.

The islandens cannot practice
extensive agriculture, though they
nurse gardens of radishes, onions
and lettuce. They have turned to

supplement their fishing income.
ae also hope to attract tour-
ists.

Through the years, France has
sometimes had to help the terri-
tory’s faltering economy. But St.
Pierre and Miquelon can at least
look back to one period of fabu-
lous prosperity. That came dur-
ing Prohibition days in the Unit-
ed States when the islands be.
came a major center for bottled
shipments. Residents look back
o« those days as an age d’or
(golden age) and a temps beni
