The Great AIIian-cc

At the beginning of the panel discussions at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., a plea was made to ”avoid pretty platitudes" in consid- ering the great issues in the Angio- (lanzidi2in--Xmcrican community. Mr. Sherman Adams, one time Governor of New Hampshire and now chief assistant to President Eisenhower, started the ball rolling by stating that ”ihc Anglo-Canadian-American

policy of resolving differences by v

peaceful means would work for the

rost of the world"-a piatitude, ify

t'lV(lli IhCl'C li"dS ODE.

There is very little. if any, com- parison between the problems which confront Britain, Canada and the United States and those which trou- ble the rest of the world; and it is unrealistic to suppose that the mea- sures which the three allies find useful in airing their disputes would be equally effective in bringing peace and tranquility to, say, the Middle East or the Indian-Pakistani border. For one thing, the three nations have a more or less com- mon heritage of language, culture and religion. which most other re- gions lack. For another, there is the strong bond of democratic law and order. which is absent in many danger spots of the world.

It is possible. too. to take too much for granted in the generally amicable relations that exist in the Anglo-Canadian-American commun- ity, though of course the importance of these relations in the overall picture of international politics can- not be too highly stressed. This point was brought up at the Han- over meeting by Sir Geoffrey Crow- ther, director of the London Econo- mist. "People tend to think," he said. "that the alliance of the three nations was the natural application of the lessons of the. last war. Actually, it was the result of fear and anger over Soviet aggression, so that the grmitrst architect of the alliance was Joseph Stalin."

There may be a little exaggera- tion here; but there is no doubt of the soundness of the premise. Whe- ther the alliance would be any weaker than it is if there were no fear of Soviet aggression to give it slgnifiance and power no one can say. But certainly it cannot be dis- puted that the United States' in- terest in Canada. to mention one aspect of the alliance, is due, in part at least, to Canada's importance in continental military strategy. There is nothing wrong in that, of course. since Canada's security is largely dependent on American power. All the same, it' is a point which has to be noted in any discussion of the great alliance.

What ,will happen when--and if ..o,he present Soviet threat has been lifted? The hope is that relations among the three nations will con- till)! to be cordial and mutually nugfymg; and. no doubt, everything poadble is being done to that end. at remains, however, that. gun far and the desire for mutual

Fighting Adjectives

I In an editorial devoted to the

more of the things we consume. And

.a central market would diet a magnificent opportunity to develop this important indmtry. Time and again people have gone to their grocers in search of Newfoundland winter-keeping potatoes only to be offered the pale and pallid substitute from P.E.I."

It seems a little strange that a city the size of St. John's does not have a large and central market where local farmers might display their products and where buyers might find an" adequate supply of home-grown vegetables; since there is no doubt that the land on the Avalon Peninsula and especially in the Conception Bay area is capable of high and rich production. Island farmers, although they are naturally anxious to retain the lucrative New- foundland markct for their products, will wish Newfoundlanders every success in their efforts to build up a good agricultural economy. We have an idea, though, that they are not going to take too kindly to the suggestion that Island-grown pota- toes are a "pale and pallid" sub- stitute for the Newfoundland variety. These are fighting adjectives, Mr. Editor!

No Revolt In Syria

Those Syrians who do not take kindly to the pro-Communist lean- ings of their Government are not

President Eisenhower's appeal to them "to act to allay the anxiety caused by recent. events.” They will remember what happened to the Hungarians when, believing that the Americans would come 'to their aid, they attempted to throw off the shackles imposed upon them by the Soviets.

Whether these dissident Syrians be few or many. there is not a thing they can do to stop the course of events or to allay anxiety in Wash- ington or elsewhere. They have no arms, no influence with the Govern- ment, no power whatsoever. The only thing they can do is to "lie low"; and it would seem that President Eisenhower would be better occupied in trying to crush Governor Faubus' revolt in Little Rock, Ark., than in encouraging Syrians to risk their lives to no purpose. V

The sending of arms to Jordan and Iraq may-though there is no certainty of it-keep the Commun- ists from attacking these countries, but it will have no effect on things in Syria. The only thing that might save Syria from becoming a chattel of Moscow would be direct United States intervention in force; and that, as everybody knows, won't happen. The Eisenhower Doctrine is not applicable in this instance. And, even if it were. judging by anything Mr. Eisenhower or Secretary Dulles has said on the subject, the chance of its being put into operation would be very slight.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Delegates to the annual conven- tion of the Canadian Bar Association resolved that a lawyer should never turn down the offer of a judgeship. Has any such action ever been re- ported?

A report from St. John's, New- foundland. says that as soon as facilities had been provided for can- ning tuna, which had been so plenti- ful in the Conception Bay area all summer. the fish suddenly took their departure. This means. of course. that while tuna are perfectly willing to co-operate with sportsmen, they simply will not consent to being exploited commercially.

Twenty astounding weeks have fashioned a near miracle.

For the first time in medical history. an epidemic has been predicted and a counter-weapon fashioned. Vaccines are giving us a head start in a race against time and Asian flu, threatening to explode soon in an epidemic that in North America alone could strike up to 35,tXl0.0i!l peo- ple.

In the United States, between 8.000.000 and 10,000,000 doses of Asian nu vaccine are being made ready for shooting into as many human arms. Next month, drug firms in a huge crash program will be turning out s,ooo.oou. may- be even l0,000.0fl) or more doles every week.

Eggs are needed, by the mil- lions. Egg producers co-operate. Roosters which might ordinarily have to meet the axe at this time of year go on living happily, for the egg: must be fertile.

Aug. 8 - Britain announcer productio of flu vaccine.

Late August - The epidemic is fading in Asia. spreading in A!- rica and south America. no im- pact still is quite limited in Eu- ropc. There have been 15.000 cases n the U.S.

What in the outlook for tomor- row, next week. next winter?

So far. Asian flu is not terribly Iorious. For the averalo person it in like having I had cold. knocking you down for most of I week.

But it spreads fast. in: been felling 20 percent of those expor- cd. And sometimes 70 percent of those living in crowded placer. like worker section: of Singa- pora. or aboard ships. Crowd: help it spread. Flu virus ride: out for new conquests on droplets

earlier brings crowding. on buses. streetcars. trains. in schools, churches, and in heated homes.

Suppose flu beds 20 to 30 per cent of a whole city--sidelines doctorr. nurses. firemen. police. key worker: of many types? it could disrupt or even paralyrc a city. cause heavy economic lonu. ' WEAKENS-RARELY KILLS

Flu itself rarely kills directly. But it can weaken. leaving a person cuter pray to other in- fcctlona. pneumonia.

And possibly the Asian bug could suddenly turn lethal. as did the flu of 1913. That epidemic came in waves. A mild wave firlt in the spring. a vtciour virulent strain in the fall. Ittll a third wave early In 1919. Around the world N.000.0ill persona died.

Thou. than were no antibiotics of sulfur to battle the germ in- fection. Then. u now. there was no drug that hits the flu virus it- aelf. onca it has taken hold. Then. to little was known about viruses that it never has been learned what type of flu virus made that deadly march.
