More than could reasonably have been expected from the United Na- tions Assembly meeting was a unani- mous resolution of any kind on the Middle East. This has happened, how- ever, in the voting on the mutual agreement by all thé Arab nations “to abstain from any action ealculat- ed to change established systems of government.” This, coupled with the U.N. undertaking to set up arrange- ments for getting British and Ameri- ean troops out of Jordan and Leban- on, is taken as a reassurance to Jor- | danian and Lebanese regimes that they will not be threatened by the removal of! these troops whom they ealled in for aid, The settlement, it is to be hoped, | does more than’ renew the pledges subscribed to by the’ Arab countries in the Charter of the Arab League with respect to mutual non-aggres- sion and non-interference with each other's sovereignties. The Israeli am- bassador doubtless had this in mind when he reminded the Assembly that the principles should apply to ,all Middle East ecountries—the Jewish state included. This is a cardinal point, though there is little mention |) of it in yesterday’s news despatches. It will be recalled that at the Ban- dung conference of 1955 a similar “peaceful co-existence” resolution. was adopted. This has never been ac- eepted by the ‘Arab states as apply- ing.to their relations with Israel. There is no ‘question, however, but that the Arabs will have to accept the fact of a permanent Israeli nation if || there is to be real peace in the Middle Fast. How successful the U.N. Gen. eral Assembly has been in obtaining eoncurrence on this point remains to be seen. co i ae The Soviet Record _ that because Soviet spokesmen. at il the United ‘Nations Assembly have accepted the plan to let the Arab nations work out their own way of living in the Middle East, there will be an end of Soviet’ interference in that area. It may work out that way. The Russians may honour their. agreement to the letter; but their ‘record to date is not encouraging. ~ Leon Dennen, a correspondent at the United Nations, has been do- ing some background ‘research into this matter, He reports that between | 1917, when the Communists seized | power in Russia, and 1957 Soviet _ Yulers made 26 major agreements | with the non-Communist worla— and broke them ail. Here are a few of them: On June 5, 1922, Moscow signed an agreement of friendship with democratic Czechoslovakia. On Dee. 12, 1943, when Czechoslovakia was under Nazi occupation, the Rus- sians again concluded a treaty of _ friendship and mutual aid with the t ‘ ie don. On Feb. 25, 1948,’ Czech Com- munists staged a coup d'etat in Prague, and Czechoslovakia became a Russian satellite. Jan Masaryk, the pro-West foreign minister, jump ed or was pushed to his death. On Dec. 17, 1925, the Russians signed a non- aggression treaty with Turkev. I March 20, 1945, Moscow repudiated . the agreenient, began a’ war of ner- ves against the Turks with the ob- | fect to seize the Dardanelles. Sept. 28, 1926, Russia concluded & non-agression pact with Lithuania, extended to 1945. June 15, 1940, Russian troops marched against Lithuania, which was annexed to the Soviet Union. Sept. 27, 1928, Soviets joined Kellogg-Briand pact to outlaw war. Five times in 1939 and 1940 Russia breached this solemn inter- national agreement to invade Lithu- ania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Romania. Jan 21, 1932, Russia signed non-aggression pact with Fin- land. Nov. 30, 1939, Red Army marched against Finland. May 5, 1934, Poland signed a 10-year non- aggression pact with Russia. Sept. 17, 1939, Red Army invaded Poland. Moscow split Poland with Nazi Ger- many, Feb. Il, 1945, at Yalta, Stalin ‘agreed with Roosevelt and Churchill that after Hitler’s defeat the liberated nations should solve economic and political problems by Czech Government in exile in Lon- | democratic means. Moscow breached the agreement in Albania, Bulgaria, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania. April 11, 1945, Russia and Jugo- slavia concluded a 20-year treaty of friendship, mutual aid and collabo- ration. Russia denounced it Sept. 29, 1949, and expelled Tito from the Cominform. Aug. 2, 1945, at Pots- / dam, President Truman, Stalin and Churchill solemnly agreed that de- feated Germany, occupied by the U.S., Russia, Britain and France, should receive equal treatment in all occupation zones. Only the Bonn Republic, occupied by the Western powers, is a sovereign state. East Germany remains a vassal of Russia. At the Geneva “summit” con- ference in 1955, the Russians pre- tended to embrace a new “Geneva spirit” of international friendship. Meanwhile, the Russians sent arms and agents to Egypt’s President Nasser, leading to the present ex- plosive situation in the Middle Hast. A Postponement Premier Smallwood of Newfound- land has said that he thinks Prime Minister Diefenbaker acted wisely in deciding not to bring the report of the McNair Royal Commission before Parliament at this session. The Commission recommended an extra annual grant of $8 million to the Province,: $6 million less than the Provincial Government had re- quested. ; Evidently, Mr. Smallwood be- lieves that the postponement will work. in Newfoundland’s favour. It may turn out that way, but there is no guarantee that it will. The Prime Minister has said only that, in view of the divergence of views between. the Commission and the Provincial ‘Government, he has decided that further Federal consideration of the report is necessary. ‘ If the Federal Government does, in fact, add a few million dollars to the Commission’s recommendation, | Newfoundland will certainly be in a fortunate financial position. ‘In- cidentally, it may go a long way to- wards losening the Liberal hold on Newfoundland. The McNair Com- mission was appointed by the for- mer St, Laurent Government, Provincial Flower Show — A big event this week will be the seventh annual Provincial Flower Show which opens on Tuesday. in | ‘Summerside under the auspices of the | Abegweit Chapter, I.0.D.E. This year there will be 13 classes open to ex- hibitors, and-the competition promi- _ ses to be keen. _. Flower lovers, of course, far out- number those who are adept in the growing of flowers or who have time for the cultivation of this delightful hobby. They will come in large num- ‘ bers to admire the beautiful spectacle which the Show will provide, and they will find it an experience well worth while. A variety program is also being «provided, and tea will be served on both Tuesday and Wednesday after- ‘noon. Our Summerside citizens are to be congratulated upon the establish- ment of this pleasing event as an an- nual feature of the summer season. EDITORIAL NOTES If the Russians are really foolish enough to accept the troublesome “Sons of Freedom”, everyman, wo- man and child of the sect should be rounded up, given a one-way ticket by the cheapest route and dispatched at the earliest possible moment. f * * x ; It is expected that there will be a large attendance at the postponed ceremony tomorrow at Fort Amherst, Rocky Point, marking the 200th an- | niversary of British settlement in this Province. The ceremony is of special interest in view of the ar- rangements now under way for mak- ing this area a national historic park. * * * Two important educational ap- _ pointments have been announced by Premier Matheson during the past few days, both of which will be re- ceived with very general approval. Mr. Malcolm McKenzie, assistant Dir- ector of Education and Director of | Curriculum, has been appointed to succeed Dr. Shaw as Deputy Minister and Director of Education. No better choice for this important post could have been made, both from the stand- point of ability and of long experience. At Prince of Wales College, the Re- gistrar, Professor Gordon L. Bennett, will take on extra duties as Director of Studies—a new position which will be largely one of advising students of academic requirements and arrang- ing courses. This is a service which can be of great value. to all concerned, — and Mr. Bennett is highly qualified for the responsibility. |. ly appeal to the voters of the » _—n ee ee ee ae eo eo a | Varied Fills For Cavities By Herman N.

EVER wonder what your den: tist puts into those eavilies in ‘our teeth? * Well, it’s. good bel that the fillings are gold, silver amal- gam, synthetic porcelain, sili- eate cements or acrylic resins. OLDEST TYPE .. : Gold foil’ is -the oldest type of dental filling. It has bee n used by dentists for more than 500 years and it is: by far the most permanent type of filling. Tt is durable, has strength, does not shrink or expand and it is ‘adaptable in restoring the form of the tooth. Chief drawback of the gold inlay, however, is its eolor which, for the most part, pre- cludes its use in the front. of the. mouth. LONG USED . ; Silver amalgam is one of the most commoniy used dental fill- ings and has been in use for more than a century. Probably $0 percent of the fillings in back teeth are made with . Dental amalgam generally is composed. primarily of silver and mercury with zinc, tin and other materials added. This is a relatively long-lasting filling, but. noft.as permanent as gold. .

These fillings can be colored to smateh the natural teeth. They do not expand under heat and they do help prevent recurrence of decay. But they may gradually wash away. U. K. OPINION for The Guardian LONDON—If Prime Minister Harold Macmillan were a_poli- | tical opportunist, he would cali a general election just as quick- ly as it could be done. According to the political experts, of the leading London newspapers, he would win hands down in an ear- United Kingdom. Everything that Macmillan has ‘touched in the Jast two or three months has turned out well for him, politically. He is considered to have got much the better of the exichanges with Nikita Krush- chev in the long-drawn out cor- respondence over a summit rgeet- ing. The Jordan venture, no mat- ter how it may eventually turn out, bas. spiked the guns. of the opposition on. Middle’, Hast pro-» -blems. The apparent successful outcome of his dramatic flight. to Greece. and Turkey, so far as halting violence is concerned, has won for him the acclaim of both press and public. The La- bor leaders have been left floynd- ‘ering as Macmillan moves from one, success to another, DOMESTIC PICTURE On the domestic scene in the United Kingdon, the government has also made a spectacular re- covery. Latest reduction in the bankrate, bringing it down from seven per cent to four and a half, per cent in three months, has re- stored public confidence, given a boost to investment, and may re- sult in lower interest rates ‘for home mortgages and on instal- ment buying. Its beneficial ef-. fectis will- be felt by millions of , Britishers. The government plans for es- Improvement In — Domestic Picture . ; By M. McINTYRE HOOD '. Special London (Eng.) Correspondent tablishing new industry in the black employment spots, its: re~ moval of the embargo on a wide range of non-strategic exports to the Communist countvies, imciud- ing China, and the continued im- provement in Britain’s trade bal- ance are all factors which weigh heavily on the side of Macmillan. But Macmillan is not a polli- tical opportunist. He will not call: an early election. By waiting for another year, if conditions con- tinue their present trend, the scales may be even more heav- ily weighted in his favor. NUCLEAR VESSELS Atrival of the United States .nu- clear submarine Natuilus in Port- land afiter ibs epochamaking voy- age under the polar ice, touched off jliamge-scale demonstrations of acellaim for the Americans. It “also touched off a wave of specul- ation as to Britain's part in the development of nuclear vessels, including submarines, for cargo purposes. One London story this week had it that the Hudson’s Bay Company has asked the Mi- ‘tchell Engineering Company to prepare plans for a nuclear stb- marine which would be used to ex ploit the discovery of the amder-— ice passage into the Arctic. The | story goes. on to ‘say that such vessels could carry iron ore from the Hudson Bay to Britain for 12 months of the year. Pians en- visage a submarine of 60,000 tons with a speed of 35 knots an hour. It reads like a page from Jules Verne, but after the voyage of the Niautilus, nothing seems im- possible these days. CANADA IN LIMELIGHT Canada is well in the limelight in this year’s edition of the Seachlight Tattoo at the White City Stadium, ‘now in progress. The pipe band of the 2nd Bat- talion of the Canadian Guards has been flown over from Ger- many to take, part in this great military spectacle. Nightly it has taken part in the massed pipe bands part of the program. -, Another, Canadian touch to the fattoo is found in a panorama life of the Northwest frontier in the early days of Canadian His- tory. Entitled “The Law Goes West’’, it tells the story of an incident during the up-risings of Sitting Bull. The action of the then newly - formed Nortiwest, Mounted Police in controlling these up-risings is the main theme of the panorama, which ends with the spectacular routing of the Indian raiders. . BAD FOR CROPS "ye The uncertain weather of the summer—if it can be called sum- mer—so far has had disastrous | affects on crops in some parts of England. Persistent rainfall: have made it impossible to make more than a token start on the grain ha-vest./In clampshire and Surrey, particularily, the harvest a complete crop ‘oss. In our re- cent inavels south of London; we grain flattened to tae ground, so are not mere farmers’ talk. WANTS LARGE FAMILY Giselle Mackenzie, the noted Canadian, television star, arrived ‘in Londoft a day or sc ago on her honeymoon, along with her ‘new- ly-acquired husband, stage agent Robert Shuttleworth. She was in a radiant mood when she arrived. “It took us 12 yeans to get married’’ she said. “Finally, it was a snan affair between shows at Las Vegas. We are looking forward to having eight or nine children,’ ey Shuttleworth, however, took a different line in nis comment. ‘‘T don’t know how well she can cook’ he said, putting on a mournful tone. ‘‘And we have not yet found time to have a honey- moon.” The unexpectedly dragged-out session of Parliament has compel- led Prime Minister Diefenbaker to cancel his proposed trip to Brussels. It likewise compelled Opposition Leader Lester Pearson to cancel his proposed overseas Visits. : Mr. Diefenbaker had hoped to preside over the “‘Canada Day” celebrations at the Internatiional Exposition at, Brussels. He might also have taken advantage of the opportunity, while in Europe to visit our soldiers and airmen at the NATO bases in Germany and elsewhere, and perhaps have tra- velled to Paris to meet the im- portant new premier of France, General Charles de Gaulle, for a private exchange of views. But as Parliament is likely to be sitting until the end of next week ‘at least, the Prime Minis- ter did not consider that he should - be absent during the important closing days of the session. IMPORTANT STAND-IN Senator Mark Drouin of Que- bee City is almost continuously playing the ‘role of stand-in for the Prime Minister in these busy days. Last week he represented Mr. Diefenbaker at the centen- nial celebrations of Renfrew. On- tario, Now he is representing him in Brussels. His personal charm and fluent bilingualism make him a very acceptable substitue, al- though people are always very disappointed when urgent duties keep the P.M. from. filling his engagements. KELOWNA GALA I was honoured to receive an in- vitation from Mayor R.F. Parkin- son to attend Kelowna’s famous Regatta last week. Although my responsibilities here: hardly match those of Mr. Diefenbaker, 1 too was unable to leave Ottawa at this time, much as I would have enjoyed the privilege of visiting what I am told is Canada’s great- est water show, indeed North | America’s greatest spectacle of heute And About Ottawa : By Patrick Nicholson Special Correspondent for The Guardian that type. | During Kelowna’s Regatta Week an additional attraction to the events in the Ogopogo Stadium, which I also reluctantly missed, was the garden party given by Mr. and Mrs. F.R.G.

B.C’s PRIZE EXPORT We know all about Sockeys sal- mon, but B.C. has just sent ano- ther export to the Ottawa scene, whose charm and efficiency have quickly won very favourable com ments. That is a 30 year old bun- dle of smiles and brains named Gowan Guest, president of the| - B.C. Conservative Association who recently took up his new position as private secretary to Prime Minister Diefenbaker. In this post, he is the keystone of the P.M’s personal — staff and guardian of his daily engagement book. That in effect means that he has the responsible role of protector of the Diefenbaker health. PRIZED STEPPING STONE The public service of Canada a indeed our public life are liberally spattered with men who have made good after being secretary to one of our prime ministers. Jt would make an in- teresting study just to review their subsequent careers. They include an ex-cabinet minister, a defeated cabinet minister, a de- puty minister, a retired clerk to the Senate, a foreign service of- ficer, a parliamentary librarian, a secretary to a provincial cab- inet, and others.

But there are other tangles whose complications occasionally rise to the surface during UN de- bates and” offer a reminder that a set of principles touted for one area would not be acceptable in someone else’s territory. India, for example, as a lead- ing Asian neutralist, has long been prominent at the UN. in mediation efforts between East and West. But during the current emergency UN assembly session on Middle East’ problems its part has not been too prominent. CLOSE TO HOME It is true that Indian delegate Arthur Lall made an important speech to the assembly in which he stressed the need for recogni- tion of the wave of Arab national- ism, but his delegation has tended to keep away from pro- moting some form of UN inter- vention during a transition period between disorder and. stability. The Indians’ expressed position is that a UN force might be used in some way to support continu- ance of Western imperial inter- ests in the Middle East. But some outside opinion holds to the belief that the reason for’ this stand lies much closer to home In the 11 years of its: independ- ence Prime Minister Nehru’s Hindu’ state has been at odds with its Moslem neighbor, Pakis- India’s Role Complicated By Lloyd McDonald Canadian Press Staff Writer tan, over possession of the fertile state of Kashmir.

DEBATES FUTILE At every assembly the Kash- mir question results in a long debate between India and Pakis- tan, with no particular result so far, But should India prominently back extension of the UN’s role in the present Jordan - Lebanon case, Pakistan might use this as ammunition during the coming regular assembly, The Pakis- tanis, who have supported the Western position in the Middle East debate, would be able in words in pressing for similar action in Kashmir. While the Kashmir issues are extremely complicated, it is clear that India does not want a plebiscite of the predominantly Moslem population of Kashmir to settle its future. Pakistan has called in the past for such a vote under supervision ~ or. protec- tion ~—of the UN. confident of course that the population would vote to join the Moslem state.
