Intolerable Situation
If the 19 per cent rate boost is
granted which the railways are seek-
ing from the Board of Transport
Commissioners, means should be
‘found of equalizing it all across Can-
ada. The competitive rates enjoyed by
the big Central Provinces place them
at an advantage in this respect, ieav-
ing ‘the Atlantic and Western Provin-
ees to pay the shot. That is why these
Provinces have had. to fight ‘every
freight increase before the Board
since 1946.
After lengthy hearings, the Tur
geon Royal Commission reported in
1951 that horizontal freight increases
served only to “aggravate the disad-
vantage already suffered by long haul
_-shippers and consignees.” The rem-
edy, it said, lies in the hands of the
railways themselves. They should
make studies of traffic conditions in’
all their bearings and should present
toe the Board proposals showing not
only their maximum percentage in- |
erease requirements, but also, among
other particulars, varying percentage .
- increases on different commodities,
ete. Special attention should be giv-
en to long haul traffic and to rates
on primary commodities. “If the
railways do not approach the task in
‘' this way,” said the Commission, “it
ought to be the duty of the Board to
see that they do so.”
Why has this recommendation been :
ignored and why must the Provinces
have to defend, time and again, their
right to fair dealing in the matter |
of freight increases? We are getting
sick of it in this part of Canada and
it is time for a showdown that will
settle the issue once and for all:
Ruinous Competition
A report from .the Common-
wealth Trade Conference in Montreal '
reveals that delegates from Australia
and New Zealand are worried, over
Canada’s restrictions against their
dairy’ products’ and-awould like this
country to adbpt a free-trade, unre-
stricted policy in these particular ’
items. Pima
_ There is really no, secret about,
this country’s limiting dajry products
imports from Australia and New
Zealand. The substance of the mat-
ter is that Canada produces much
more butter and cheese than it needs.
and is finding it inereasingly dif-
ficult to make s}les abroad at satis-_
factory prices. Besides, Australian
and New Zealand products cost less
to produce than the Canadian pro-
ducts. Obviously, if there were no”
limitation on imports the Canadian
industry would be seriously affected,
In view of the heavy surpluses on
hand, it would never do to permit
the cheaper imported products. to
glut the market.
It is unlikely that any Canadian
government: would again permit this
to happen. It. was. done by the King
administration in 1925 with disas-
trous results. Before the general elec-
tion of 1930 the Government had to
rescind its preferential rate granted
on butter, but by that time the harm |
had been done..New. Zealand butter
imports rose to 15,758,261 pounds in
1928 and to 32,182,496 in 1929; and
$t was estimated that for 1930 the
figure would reach 50,000,000 pounds.
One huge cargo. of 6,811,500 pounds
arrived in Halifax on New Year’s Day,
19380, for Upper Canada and the Mari-
time Provinces, and caused great in-
dignation, What made our dairymen
still more indignant was that this for-
eign butter promptly lost its identity
_ when it reached Canada. Not only
was it sold in competition with the
home produet but it was disguised so
as to resemble Canadian butter.
Why, it may be asked, cannot the
Canadian dairyman meet the competi-
tion of hisrivals in the southern
hemisphere? This question was an-
swered by the National Dairy Coun-
ceil in a brief presented to the Tariff
Board in 1930. The chief reason is tne
climate. It enables the New Zealand
dairyman to pasturehis cows. the
year round and to use*but little con-
centrated feed. Also, owing to the re-
versal of the seasons, it enables the
dairymen ‘of the Antipodes to. sell
their best and cheapest butter, made :
in the spring and early summer, in
this country in our costly winter sea-
SOR, €
The Dairy Council brief estimated
that—one district with another—our
severe Canadian winter caused a rise
in production costs of about 10 cents
a pound of butter fat as compared
with the summer season. This figure
assumed a winter production of at
least 60 per cent of the maximum rate
for the year. If, on the other hand,
winter dairying was not practiced,
then the costs in the season of low
production would show an even great-
er increase over summer costs than
the above figure. This made competi-
tion on any fair basis quite impos-
sible. :
Freight rates offered no protec-
tion in 1930, as it was found that the
cost of moving butter from the pro-
ducing centres in Canada‘ to the big
consuming markets was greater in
many cases than the cost from New
Zealand to those markets. Conse-
quently the home industry declined,
and it took years to put it back on a
stable basis, —~ ait,

analysis, the great regulator of the

A Good Sign
The Young Progressive Conserva-
tives showed a refreshing departure
from ‘purely partisan polities at their
convention here on Wednesday. They
‘| called ‘upon “all. responsible, bodies”
for an end to the inexcusable delay in
payment of potato support prices, up-
on the Federal Government for action
to provide unemployment insurance
benefits to farm workers, and upon
the Provincial Government for estab-
lishment of a system of farm credits.
These are ‘worthwhile objectives, de-
serving the support of all parties; and
it is to be hoped they will-be given”
_ prompt attention. —
This attitude at the Y.P.C. conven-
tion is indicative’ of the changing
times. | The public is no longer inter-
ested in resolutions whitewashing
politicians of one political stripe while
damning everything their’ opponents
have done. The results of the last two
federal general elections speak ' for
themselves; but they do not mean
that the voters swallowed all the -
propaganda that emanated, as a mat-
ter of course, from the victors. in
those contests. (The losers, of course, —

and are charting their course accord-
ingly, we can predict a most success-
ful year for the organization under its

CONGRESS IN. RECESS
A strong group of Democrats
has criticized the president’s
stand in the current Formosa
Straits crisis and one of them,
Senator Theodore Green, Demo-
¢ atic chairman of the Senate for-
eign relations committee, says
Eisenhower should call. Congress
into session if he thinks there is
any danger of war in the Far
East, :
Green's comment points up the
fact the Congress actually has
had no opportunity to indicate its
collective viewpoint on the de-
sirability of an American defence
of Quemoy and Matsu, the other
off-shore island under threat of
Red invasion. Congress adjourned
Aug. 28, the same day the Red
Chinese opened their bombard-
ment of the Nationalist . held
islands. The crisis has developed
since then.
The dissenting Democrats have
been joined by a handful of doubt-
ing Republicans, one of whom—
Senator John Sherman Cooper of
Kentucky—declared that he did
not believe it was “in the na-
tional interest” for the U.S. to go
bo war over Quemoy and Matsu.

The Formosa Resolution
_ By George Kitchen

President Bisenhower bases his islands were at stake then, as
i
now, but there is a significant
difference in the number of Na-
tionalist troops involved,
In 1955, the Reds bombarded
and threatened to invade the
Tachens, a group of islands 200
miles northwest of Formosa.
They were garrisoned by a small
Nationalist force. Eisenhower
persuaded Chiang Kai - shek to
evacuate the islands and directed
the U.S. 7th Fleet, then in the
Formosa Straits as it now is, to
help get Chiang’s troops off the
islands. The crisis passed.
FORCE PLAY : :
In the 3% years since that last
crisis Chiang has built up his
forces in Quemoy and Matsu to
the point where fully one-third of
his army—an estimated 100,000
men—is stationed there) and in
danger of being cut off from the| -
main Formosa base 100 miles
away.
By stationing so many men on
Matsu and Quemoy, Chiang has
forced Eisenhower into a difficult
position with respect to defence
of the two islands which, were the
circumstances the same as they
were in 1955, he might be pre-
pared to abandon to the Red
Chinese without a fight.
Canada Is Involved
Glebe and Mail, Toronto
The Formosa crisis, with its
continuing threat of war, has
caused uneasiness all over the
world, and perhaps nowhere more
than in Canada. Our Govern-
ment’s attitude in the matter is
therefore a subject of much con-
cern, :
At the session of Patliament
just ended, three official state-
menits were made regarding Can-
ada’s position in the crisis. Two
were delivered by External Af-
fairs Minister Smith and . the
third by Prime Minister Diefen-
baker. :
‘On August 25, soon after the
Chinese Communists began shel-
lig the Niatioalist-held offshore
islands Dr. Smith informed the
House of Commons that this
country “has no commitment. to
involve itself in a dispute over
the territory between the two
Chinese authorities’. On Septem-
ber 5, after the United States had
indicated that it might intervene
to defend the islands against a
Communist attack, he stated fur-
ther that “unilateral action on
the part of the United States
would not involve Canada in any
possible conflict in that area’’,
WHAT THEN?
These statements. are quite
correct as far as they go. Canada
is under no obligation to defend
Matsu or Quemoy or: even For-
mosa, or to keep the Chiang Kai-
shek regime in power; nor is it
bound to support and U.S. action
in the Far East. But if hostilities
break out in the Formosa Strait
can they be confined there?
Premier Khrushchev has warn-
ed Washington that ‘‘an attack
on the People’s Republic of
China. . . ig tantamount to an at-
tack against the Soviet Union”.
Suppose that, in the course of an
effort to hold the offshore islands,
U.S. planes should bomb Chinese
coastal airfields. Conceivably,
Moscow miight consider this an
“attack on the People’s Repub-
lic’’, and come to its ally’s assis-
tance. And once the war becomes
one between the United States
and Russia, it will be almost im- |
possible for Canada to stay

‘ities. should spread to Western
Europe, Canada would be invol-
vel, through its membership in
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ-
zation.
These possibilities were doubt-
less present in Prime Minister
Diefenbaker’s mind when he ad-
dressed the House on the final
day of the session last Saturday.
After pointing out the success
which the United Nations had
had in composing, at least tem-
porarily, the Middle East troub-

Sinus Trouble
Comes To All
By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D.
NO ONE is immune to sinus
trouble. It's fairly common a-
mong men, women and children
of all ages. Persons who work
outdoors, however, are less_ apt
to fall victim to prevalent sinus-
itis.
Those of you who work indoors
in crowded rooms where the air
is cold and damp, or hot and dry,
probably are most susceptible.
If the air is full of irritating dust
or vapors, you are just that much
more vulnerable to this complaint
HOW IT BEGINS
There are any number of ways
in which sinus trouble can begin.
A simple cold and other nose and
throat infections, such as influ-
enza, can set-off a painful bout
with your sinuses. i
Soar diet, fatigue, infected
tonsils, enlarged adenoids and
other nasal obstructions some-
are the factor in some cases. In
still others, sinusitis can be trac-
ed to whooping cough, diptheria,
scarlet fever and even measles
and various aillergies. s
Admittedly it’s a bit difficult
to. combat all of these possible
sources of sinus trouble. How-
ever, there are other causes that
might easily be avoided’ with a
little more careful thought on
your part. -
For example, blowing your
nose too violently might force in-
infectious material into your si-
uses. I’ve repeatedly warned you |
going to dwell on it, again. ;
Swimming with your nose under
water also can literally force
an infection into your sinuses.
DROPS AND SPRAYS
Using mose drops, oils, sprays
and antiseptics too frequently
can injure the tender. mucous
membrane, providi all the
makings for sinus infection. The
best advice I can give you on this
matter is not to use nose. prepar-
tions unless they are advised by
your doctor, and then use them
only as often as instructed. —
Any inflammation of your
nasal passages can. close the
sinuses. This, naturally , inter-
feres with the normal draining
process. Moreover, it traps air
in the sinus cavity. j
Should a sinus be closed for
any length of time, the Jair it
holds is absorbed. This forms a
vacuum *nd this means pain, and

Intolerable Situation
If the 19 per cent rate boost is
granted which the railways are seek-
ing from the Board of Transport
Commissioners, means should be
‘found of equalizing it all across Can-
ada. The competitive rates enjoyed by
the big Central Provinces place them
at an advantage in this respect, ieav-
ing ‘the Atlantic and Western Provin-
ees to pay the shot. That is why these
Provinces have had. to fight ‘every
freight increase before the Board
since 1946.
After lengthy hearings, the Tur
geon Royal Commission reported in
1951 that horizontal freight increases
served only to “aggravate the disad-
vantage already suffered by long haul
_-shippers and consignees.” The rem-
edy, it said, lies in the hands of the
railways themselves. They should
make studies of traffic conditions in’
all their bearings and should present
toe the Board proposals showing not
only their maximum percentage in- |
erease requirements, but also, among
other particulars, varying percentage .
- increases on different commodities,
ete. Special attention should be giv-
en to long haul traffic and to rates
on primary commodities. “If the
railways do not approach the task in
‘' this way,” said the Commission, “it
ought to be the duty of the Board to
see that they do so.”
Why has this recommendation been :
ignored and why must the Provinces
have to defend, time and again, their
right to fair dealing in the matter |
of freight increases? We are getting
sick of it in this part of Canada and
it is time for a showdown that will
settle the issue once and for all:
Ruinous Competition
A report from .the Common-
wealth Trade Conference in Montreal '
reveals that delegates from Australia
and New Zealand are worried, over
Canada’s restrictions against their
dairy’ products’ and-awould like this
country to adbpt a free-trade, unre-
stricted policy in these particular ’
items. Pima
_ There is really no, secret about,
this country’s limiting dajry products
imports from Australia and New
Zealand. The substance of the mat-
ter is that Canada produces much
more butter and cheese than it needs.
and is finding it inereasingly dif-
ficult to make s}les abroad at satis-_
factory prices. Besides, Australian
and New Zealand products cost less
to produce than the Canadian pro-
ducts. Obviously, if there were no”
limitation on imports the Canadian
industry would be seriously affected,
In view of the heavy surpluses on
hand, it would never do to permit
the cheaper imported products. to
glut the market.
It is unlikely that any Canadian
government: would again permit this
to happen. It. was. done by the King
administration in 1925 with disas-
trous results. Before the general elec-
tion of 1930 the Government had to
rescind its preferential rate granted
on butter, but by that time the harm |
had been done..New. Zealand butter
imports rose to 15,758,261 pounds in
1928 and to 32,182,496 in 1929; and
$t was estimated that for 1930 the
figure would reach 50,000,000 pounds.
One huge cargo. of 6,811,500 pounds
arrived in Halifax on New Year’s Day,
19380, for Upper Canada and the Mari-
time Provinces, and caused great in-
dignation, What made our dairymen
still more indignant was that this for-
eign butter promptly lost its identity
_ when it reached Canada. Not only
was it sold in competition with the
home produet but it was disguised so
as to resemble Canadian butter.
Why, it may be asked, cannot the
Canadian dairyman meet the competi-
tion of hisrivals in the southern
hemisphere? This question was an-
swered by the National Dairy Coun-
ceil in a brief presented to the Tariff
Board in 1930. The chief reason is tne
climate. It enables the New Zealand
dairyman to pasturehis cows. the
year round and to use*but little con-
centrated feed. Also, owing to the re-
versal of the seasons, it enables the
dairymen ‘of the Antipodes to. sell
their best and cheapest butter, made :
in the spring and early summer, in
this country in our costly winter sea-
SOR, €
The Dairy Council brief estimated
that—one district with another—our
severe Canadian winter caused a rise
in production costs of about 10 cents
a pound of butter fat as compared
with the summer season. This figure
assumed a winter production of at
least 60 per cent of the maximum rate
for the year. If, on the other hand,
winter dairying was not practiced,
then the costs in the season of low
production would show an even great-
er increase over summer costs than
the above figure. This made competi-
tion on any fair basis quite impos-
sible. :
Freight rates offered no protec-
tion in 1930, as it was found that the
cost of moving butter from the pro-
ducing centres in Canada‘ to the big
consuming markets was greater in
many cases than the cost from New
Zealand to those markets. Conse-
quently the home industry declined,
and it took years to put it back on a
stable basis, —~ ait,
The butter market is, In the last
analysis, the great regulator of the
dairy industry, which in turn is vital

A Good Sign
The Young Progressive Conserva-
tives showed a refreshing departure
from ‘purely partisan polities at their
convention here on Wednesday. They
‘| called ‘upon “all. responsible, bodies”
for an end to the inexcusable delay in
payment of potato support prices, up-
on the Federal Government for action
to provide unemployment insurance
benefits to farm workers, and upon
the Provincial Government for estab-
lishment of a system of farm credits.
These are ‘worthwhile objectives, de-
serving the support of all parties; and
it is to be hoped they will-be given”
_ prompt attention. —
This attitude at the Y.P.C. conven-
tion is indicative’ of the changing
times. | The public is no longer inter-
ested in resolutions whitewashing
politicians of one political stripe while
damning everything their’ opponents
have done. The results of the last two
federal general elections speak ' for
themselves; but they do not mean
that the voters swallowed all the -
propaganda that emanated, as a mat-
ter of course, from the victors. in

and are charting their course accord-

CONGRESS IN. RECESS
A strong group of Democrats
has criticized the president’s
stand in the current Formosa
Straits crisis and one of them,
Senator Theodore Green, Demo-
¢ atic chairman of the Senate for-
eign relations committee, says
Eisenhower should call. Congress
into session if he thinks there is
any danger of war in the Far
East, :
Green's comment points up the
fact the Congress actually has
had no opportunity to indicate its
collective viewpoint on the de-
sirability of an American defence
of Quemoy and Matsu, the other
off-shore island under threat of
Red invasion. Congress adjourned
Aug. 28, the same day the Red
Chinese opened their bombard-
ment of the Nationalist . held
islands. The crisis has developed
since then.
The dissenting Democrats have
been joined by a handful of doubt-
ing Republicans, one of whom—
Senator John Sherman Cooper of
Kentucky—declared that he did
not believe it was “in the na-
tional interest” for the U.S. to go
bo war over Quemoy and Matsu.

The Formosa Resolution
_ By George Kitchen

President Bisenhower bases his islands were at stake then, as
i
now, but there is a significant
difference in the number of Na-
tionalist troops involved,
In 1955, the Reds bombarded
and threatened to invade the
Tachens, a group of islands 200
miles northwest of Formosa.
They were garrisoned by a small
Nationalist force. Eisenhower
persuaded Chiang Kai - shek to
evacuate the islands and directed
the U.S. 7th Fleet, then in the
Formosa Straits as it now is, to
help get Chiang’s troops off the
islands. The crisis passed.
FORCE PLAY : :
In the 3% years since that last
crisis Chiang has built up his
forces in Quemoy and Matsu to
the point where fully one-third of
his army—an estimated 100,000
men—is stationed there) and in
danger of being cut off from the| -
main Formosa base 100 miles
away.
By stationing so many men on
Matsu and Quemoy, Chiang has
forced Eisenhower into a difficult
position with respect to defence
of the two islands which, were the
circumstances the same as they
were in 1955, he might be pre-
pared to abandon to the Red
Chinese without a fight.
Canada Is Involved
Glebe and Mail, Toronto
The Formosa crisis, with its
continuing threat of war, has
caused uneasiness all over the
world, and perhaps nowhere more
than in Canada. Our Govern-
ment’s attitude in the matter is
therefore a subject of much con-
cern, :
At the session of Patliament
just ended, three official state-
menits were made regarding Can-
ada’s position in the crisis. Two
were delivered by External Af-
fairs Minister Smith and . the
third by Prime Minister Diefen-
baker. :
‘On August 25, soon after the
Chinese Communists began shel-
lig the Niatioalist-held offshore
islands Dr. Smith informed the
House of Commons that this
country “has no commitment. to
involve itself in a dispute over
the territory between the two
Chinese authorities’. On Septem-
ber 5, after the United States had
indicated that it might intervene
to defend the islands against a
Communist attack, he stated fur-
ther that “unilateral action on
the part of the United States
would not involve Canada in any
possible conflict in that area’’,
WHAT THEN?
These statements. are quite
correct as far as they go. Canada
is under no obligation to defend
Matsu or Quemoy or: even For-
mosa, or to keep the Chiang Kai-
shek regime in power; nor is it
bound to support and U.S. action
in the Far East. But if hostilities
break out in the Formosa Strait
can they be confined there?
Premier Khrushchev has warn-
ed Washington that ‘‘an attack
on the People’s Republic of
China. . . ig tantamount to an at-
tack against the Soviet Union”.
Suppose that, in the course of an
effort to hold the offshore islands,
U.S. planes should bomb Chinese
coastal airfields. Conceivably,
Moscow miight consider this an
“attack on the People’s Repub-
lic’’, and come to its ally’s assis-
tance. And once the war becomes
one between the United States
and Russia, it will be almost im- |
possible for Canada to stay

‘ities. should spread to Western
Europe, Canada would be invol-
vel, through its membership in
the North Atlantic Treaty Organ-
zation.
These possibilities were doubt-
less present in Prime Minister
Diefenbaker’s mind when he ad-
dressed the House on the final
day of the session last Saturday.
After pointing out the success
which the United Nations had
had in composing, at least tem-
porarily, the Middle East troub-

Sinus Trouble
Comes To All
By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D.
NO ONE is immune to sinus
trouble. It's fairly common a-
mong men, women and children
of all ages. Persons who work
outdoors, however, are less_ apt
to fall victim to prevalent sinus-
itis.
Those of you who work indoors
in crowded rooms where the air
is cold and damp, or hot and dry,
probably are most susceptible.
If the air is full of irritating dust
or vapors, you are just that much
more vulnerable to this complaint
HOW IT BEGINS
There are any number of ways
in which sinus trouble can begin.
A simple cold and other nose and
throat infections, such as influ-
enza, can set-off a painful bout
with your sinuses. i
Soar diet, fatigue, infected
tonsils, enlarged adenoids and
other nasal obstructions some-
are the factor in some cases. In
still others, sinusitis can be trac-
ed to whooping cough, diptheria,
scarlet fever and even measles
and various aillergies. s
Admittedly it’s a bit difficult
to. combat all of these possible
sources of sinus trouble. How-
ever, there are other causes that
might easily be avoided’ with a
little more careful thought on
your part. -
For example, blowing your
nose too violently might force in-
infectious material into your si-
uses. I’ve repeatedly warned you |
going to dwell on it, again. ;
Swimming with your nose under
water also can literally force
an infection into your sinuses.
DROPS AND SPRAYS
Using mose drops, oils, sprays
and antiseptics too frequently
can injure the tender. mucous
membrane, providi all the
makings for sinus infection. The
best advice I can give you on this
matter is not to use nose. prepar-
tions unless they are advised by
your doctor, and then use them
only as often as instructed. —
Any inflammation of your
nasal passages can. close the
sinuses. This, naturally , inter-
feres with the normal draining
process. Moreover, it traps air
in the sinus cavity. j
Should a sinus be closed for
any length of time, the Jair it
holds is absorbed. This forms a
vacuum *nd this means pain, and
