    Emphasis On Training

    Plans for the training of Island
    fishermen are to be investigated by
    the Provincial department of fish--
    eries, as indicated by Deputy Min-
    ister Eugene Gorman following his
    return from attending a fisheries
    conference Kurope, This is a
    move deserving of every support.
    Mr. Gorman made good use of his
    time abroad, and he noted particu-
    larly the expert training which Nor-
    wegian fishermen receive. Similar
    training here, he believes, would al-
    low our fishermen to handle their
    equipment to better advantage, and
    this was necessary if they hoped to
    compete adequately with foreign
    fishermen off our shores.

    Mr. Gorman’s statement {s in
    line with the views expressed by
    fishery officials in other provinces
    and at Ottawa. Concerted action is
    being planned, and Federal Minister
    Robichaud has indicated that a na-
    tional conference for the discussion
    of a Canadian fishery expansion
    program may meet this fall or early
    winter. He has asked for provincial
    proposals as to what the program
    should involve.

    Last week Mr. Robichaud ad-
    dressed the Newfoundland Le gis-
    lature on this subject, making the
    same point which Mr. Gorman made
    in commenting on the situation in
    this province. “Canada’s fishermen,”
    he said, “have not. yet applied the
    technical knowledge available, and
    they must be trained and educated
    to use the latest techniques.” The
    decision to implement the 12-mile
    fishery limit would give protection
    to Canadian fishermen, but the time
    has come for providing training
    facilities as well.

    The federal minister reported
    that all ten provinces have shown
    “tremendous interest” in the pro-
    posed conference, which could havi
    far-reaching results on the economy
    of this Atlantic area.

    Demanding Deeper Probe

    How to rebuild, after the Pro-
    fumo scandal, Britain’s badly tar-
    nished intelligence and security ser-
    vices? That is the question, and it
    is doubtful whether Prime Minister
    Macmillan’s refusal to yield to Labor
    demands for an all-party commit-
    tee of investigation, and his decis-
    ion to substitute a one-man judicial
    inquiry instead, will satisfy the
    public mind. For after the damag-
    ing admissions made by the Prime
    Minister himself on the subject,
    there can be no illusions about Brit-
    feh security in any quarter.

    ! Mr. Harold Wilson, on this point,
    reminded the House of Commons
    that the British Government. spends
    ÂŁ60,000,000 (or $168,000,000) a year
    on its security services and it was
    a Sunday newspaper which was
    largely responsible for tracking
    down the Profumo story. As read
    {nto the parliamentary debate, ‘that
    story was enough—in the words of
    one British commentator—‘‘to make
    our allies’ hair stand on end.”

    What is expected from these
    revelations is that the security ser-
    vice will be probed to its depths and
    appropriate action taken. Mr. Wil-
    gon maintains that an inquiry by
    @ judge would be “totally inadequate
    to allay public anxiety”’—that its
    terms of reference would be far too
    narrow to deal with the matter.
    What he wants is a select all-party
    eommittes of the Commons with
    power to call any witnesses, includ-
    ing Mr. Macmillan and his colleag-
    wes and ex-War Minister John

    mo, ts
    gg Meanwhile the question of Mr.

    Macmillan’s political future remains
    unclear, He seems to be looking for-
    ward to remaining in office, and his
    party followers are reportedly clos-
    ing ranks in support of this view.
    Even the London Times, however,
    reports that in Westminster it is
    taken for granted that Mr. Mac-
    millan will not lead the Conserva-
    tives at the next election and that
    therefore no time should be lost in
    establishing his suscessor,
    Much will depend, perhaps,
    how the security inquiry is prose-
    cuted and what results it achieves.

    The Riddle Of ‘Flu’

    Since the great epidemic of in-
    fluenza after World War I the ob-
    stinately recurrent disease has been
    keeping investigators busy. Hardly
    has a ‘flu virus been brought under
    control but it disappears and an en-
    tirely different one takes its place.
    The last ‘flu epidemic, of 1957-58,
    for example, was engineered by a
    virus called A 2, which had replac-
    ed A 1, the successor of A plain,
    the “classical” germ of 1918.

    The first variety of A 1
    from 1934 to 1947, to be followed
    by the second variety which in 1957
    handed over to “Asia”, In
    1963, A2 is scar found any
    more, according to Professor H. Lip-
    pelt, of the department of ship and
    tropical diseases in the great port
    hospital of Hamburg, Germany.
    Presumably 3 is s
    retly maturing somewhere for
    next run. Types B and C,
    minor importance, are now
    of sporadic occurrence.

    The worst of it is that the va
    ous ’flus differ serologically. All are
    “antigens”, which means they evoke
    in the infected body the formation
    of antibodies fitting their shapes as
    a key fits a lock. These antibodies
    render the germs innocuous. People
    who have had a flu usually develop
    a good degree of immunity to the
    virus concerned. But ‘flu now alters
    the lock by sending a new virus, and
    the old key no longer fits the new
    lock.

    When A 2 came in 1957,
    was immune to it, since all antibod-
    jes were of the A 1 pattern. Like
    some generals, our bodies always
    prepare for the last war instead of
    the next one. Small wonder ‘flu
    took a heavy toll, infecting more
    than 80 per cent of the diverse
    populations. A 2 can do us little
    harm—say the scientis since we
    are stuffed with aatitbinstics against
    this type; but, as was said before,
    ‘flu is likely to come with some new
    and different germ the next time.

    The Cold Shoulder

    The Peking Review, principal
    external propaganda vehicle of the
    Peking government, makes curious
    reading these days. The latest issue
    completely ignores the existence of
    the Soviet Union.

    There are ample references to
    allegedly wicked capitalistic powers
    and their machinations. India, too,
    and Indonesia, Korea and Japan, all
    exist in the Chinese Communist
    picture of the world. Romania has
    purportedly improved its scientific
    and technical relations with China
    and hence presumably exists. North
    Korea looms large on the Peking
    versions of the globe and workers
    in the Congo are said to be in solid-
    arity with Chinese .workers—a
    singular achievement if true.

    But nowhere does the Soviet
    Union appear in the world of the
    Peking Review. One of its most re-
    markabe achievements was to pro-
    duce in its January issue an article
    on Cuba’s strained relations with
    the United States without once
    mentioning or recognizing the exist-
    ence of the Soviet Union or Soviet
    influence, Soviet weapons, and So-
    viet interest in Cuba.

    The West sits and waits for this
    situation to clarify. Presumably any-
    thing could happen at the July 5
    meeting of the two Communist pow-
    ers in Moscow—anything, as one
    commentator has expressed it, from
    a total break to a total reconcilia-
    tion. Existing signs and portents do
    not appear to point to total recon-
    ciliation.

    C.N.R. President’s Prospects Discussed

    @ Scot. | is

    That unlucky number thirteen
    has come up again, and its vie
    tim now seems to be Donald
    Gordon, president of our mam-
    mouth Canadian National Rail- |
    ways.

    was appointed to that im- |
    portant job thirteen years ago;
    he is currently serving a 3-year
    re-appointment which expires
    ‘on 30 September. And while other
    Canadians are perhaps enjoy- |

    ing a light-hearted Shakespear- |

    ian kind of midsummer night's
    dream, the harassed Mr. Gor-
    don is possibly suffering a poli-
    ico—Quebecois union—wracked
    nightmare.

    Donald Gordon was born

    village Okimeldrum,
    near Aberdeen. He was brought
    out to Canada as a child, and
    at 13 got his first job selling
    newspapers in the street in Tor- |
    onto, Two years later he started |
    as a clerk in the Bank of Nova
    Scotia: and in 21 years he
    climbed so successfully up the
    banking ladder that at the ear-
    ly age of 36 the brilliant Scot
    was appointed deputy-governor |
    of the Bank of Canada.

    accustomed to being trodden on,
    is very much involved in af-
    fairs. I am very much on the
    worm’s side, even when he may
    lash out occasionally at the very
    ones who are trying to help him.
    My concern over the condition
    of pianos is not sudden. One

    of the saddest features is the |

    fact that so few owners of pianos
    realize that their instruments
    mecd skilled attention at re-
    gular intervals. That is why I
    have prepared a pamphlet in
    the hope of alerting them to the
    necessity ‘of having their pianos
    serviced.

    My remark “in 99 cases out
    ‘of a 100 the owners of the pianos
    would not be able to tell the dif-
    ference’ was torn out of its con-
    text and referred to a complaint
    by a correspondent in Toronto
    that tuners in his area frequent-
    ly did not. bring instruments up
    to concert pitch. The remark was
    made in sorrow, certainly not
    out of complacency.

    My whole point is that there
    is plenty of work available i
    owners of pianos can be
    to realize the facts, The short
    age of piano technicians is mask-
    ed by the lack of knowledge of
    the publie.

    Why did this man yawn so
    much? Dr. Isaacs believes the
    thyroid gland was squeezed by
    the contractions or tightening
    of the neck muscles. As a re-

    A Dangerous Idea

    Globe and Mail, Toronto

    Ontario Young Progressive
    Conservatives marched off on a
    wrong and dangerous track
    when they urged at their confer-
    ence at Kitchener on Sunday
    that no privilege should attack
    to newspaper report:
    dence given before judicial OE
    quiries. This would be a long
    step toward censorship and
    would have the effe
    ing legitimate information to the
    public.

    The Young Conservatives were
    rightly concerned that the nam-
    es of innocent persons were
    brought forward in worth-
    less testimony before the inquiry
    last year into organized crime
    and gambling in Ontario. This

    little reporting of evidence given

    what was said at a tribunal
    would replace fact, and when
    the report of the tribunal was
    brought down the public would
    have no way of knowing it was
    consistent with the evidence.

    Dangerous Press Control

    Winnipeg Free Press

    A good rule-of-thumb by which
    to determine the nature of a
    government is the measure of
    latitude permitted the press of
    the country concerned. In a de-
    mocracy, as we understand. the
    term, the press is free to critic-
    ize the government and govern-
    ment offi 1es— al-
    ways, of course, within the lim-
    its imposed by the laws of libel.
    ‘This at times makes things un-
    pleasant for those ciricized. But
    more often it results in greater
    efficiency and honesty on the
    part of the government.

    In a totalitarian state, how- |

    ever — be it Fascist or Com-
    munist — the government can-
    not afford to permit the press
    such latitude. Criticism of the
    government and of officials
    might start people thinking; and
    if they thought enough, th
    could lead to the downfall of

    REPLY

    Arthritis involves the joints
    whereas bursitis affects the sac
    covering the outer aspect of the
    shoulder bone. Examination and
    possibly X-rays will be needed
    to differentiate the two condi-

    tions.

    Problem In Rhodesia

    Britain ts being ai to do
    the seemingly impossible in
    Southern Rhodesia,

    Caught between equally stub-
    born forces, she faces the pros-
    pect that one of her Le} hd
    decolonization jobs may

    On the one side is Premier
    Winston Field, determined that
    his country will achieve inde-
    pendence without British inter-

    ference in the resulting internal |

    political structure

    On the other is the relentless
    pressure from the new African
    states to ensure that indepen-
    dence is not granted until full
    political rights are given to the
    Negro population — which out-
    numbers the whites about 30 to

    ASK FOR TIME

    With no easy way, out, Britain
    has tried to tread a middle
    course and persuade th> white
    Field government to ease its
    position and avoid the racial
    clash that now appears inevit-
    able.

    At the United Nations, Brit-
    ish spokesmen have pleaded for
    time to et policies of modera:
    tion work.

    The African delegations are
    in no position to great this time,
    even if they wanted to do so.

    In the General Assembly's
    colonialism committee this
    week they pushed through new
    demands for abrogation of the
    present Southern Rhodesian
    constitution and the working

    In the current UN debate
    they produced a resolution only
    after the Soviet Union talked of
    bringing one in.

    For the British, the biggest
    frustration is that their own
    plan for evolution of a fair pol-
    itical system was shipwrecked
    not by the racists but by the
    Southern Rhodesian Negroes
    themselves.

    The Unforgiving Minute

    The Times, London

    Busy men have always resent-

    | ed the time they must spend on

    shaving. There are indeed theor-
    ists who hold that in the truly
    significant eras of history, when
    life has been rich and full and

    e mind of man has spilled |
    over with new ideas and discov-
    eries, men have gone bearded
    simply because they have not
    had time to stop and shave.

    It is an attractive theory, an
    it would be a pity to spoil it by
    looking as it too closely. Better
    perhaps to remember some of
    those enterprising characters
    who have thought of ways of
    improving the shining, shaving

    inutes by combining some oth-

    mint
    er activity with this part of the

    daily routine.
    Who, pinning up a piece of
    print or a list of words beside
    the shaving mirror, have got
    sonnets off by heart, or dates, or
    French verbs. Or who, prefering
    a more creative accompaniment
    to the morning ritual, give them-
    selves up to rumination and are
    able to declare, as Lord Amory
    once did, that ‘they have “the
    most brilliant bir Catia
    ally when shaving’ ie di
