ixu-.i-2'4 MONDAY. MAY 5. I957 Robot Weather Station

Mitre the wtirld has become just mtr lug community llecause of air tr,uel, w t-atltcr has assitmed a much mm-e tmportallt place itt connection with the any in day riuties of malty pt-tiple. Witallit-y systcttts can start in areas whit-lt to persons living in civilized places are remote regions, and yyhpfp it is hnptn-t;tttt that in- forltttitiotl as to ”wlt;tt is lll'0W'lIlE" sltould be availaltle it is because of such cit'ciintstattt'c.s that 3 l'”mDl9tPl.V mltnnmtip meteorological station of Fl'flll('ll t-nnsti-ut-tiolt is to r ec o r d Attlarrttc wetttltcr tlIttlt'llllltllS durtlll-'. the period of the lnterltational (ico- physical Year. The robot-station will he set up on the coast of Wilkes l.Rtl'i, several hundred miles from Antarctic bases at Ella wson and Davis.

Operated by means of accumula- tors, the station will broadcast hour- ly weather reports over a radius of about 750 miles for several months without maintenance. Tho bulletins will give wind speeds and directions, harometl'it' pressures and thermo- meter readings.

Tito recording instruments are all linked to an electronic "brain" which oitendes the recorded data and passes it on to one of two transmitters ml elifferellt waveleng'th.s. for night and day operation. Tho brain automati- oally cuts off tho aparattis at the end of each broadcast. A pendulum clock. the nerve centre of the sys- tem. regulates the brain. During oaeh transmission, the station call- sign is given l4 times, followed by

the weather bulletin Wllltlh is re- pt-ated three times at dictation speed.

Tho robot station has been tin- t-lorgoing tests near Melbourne, in Australia. if good results are obtain- od, it may well be adopted by malty countries for use in desert regions whoro problems of supply prevent the setting up of manned weather posts,

New Soviet Diplomacy

The Soviet Union poses as a firm opponent of all nuclear bomb tests as dangerolis to human life and to the ftittire of the race: it presents the Western Powers Is obstinately determined to conduct them, what- ever tho consequences. One may have one's own opinion about tho rightnesii nr wrongness, wisdom or unwisdom of conducting nuclear tests. But it is worth noting that it was the Soviet l'nion which explod- od tho first hydrogen bomb sevetl months before tho Americans, and claimed then that Russia's posses- sion of it was I new "instrument for the consolidation of peace." And it is the Soviet Union which has just

which the deduction is to be drawn that any prudent natiort should dis- sociate itself in every possible will" from tho American ”w'at'-niotitl"l'd" and so win the frillndsliip and good- will of the Soviet l'nion.

The new Soviet proposal in tit? disarmament sub-committee of the l'-nitcd Nations may. at first sight, seem to he in a different t-atcSI(l'Il'- (tn the face of it it is a new and constructive, though ”partial”. plan for the reduction of armaments But its real significance does not lie in the details of the proposals 'l'lt0xP are simply variants on old themes.

2 Million Bibles A report from the fiidcons litter- national states that they have dis- trlbttted their 2-milliottth copy of the lint) Scriptures ill ('anada. it was fitting that it went to the King

By the end of lflfiti. .'tIl..'tIl8,0't"2 Bibles and New Testaments ltad been dis- tribttted throughout tho world -- in hotels, ptthlic schools, hospitals, pen- al institutions. Only last month a new venture was started--makinl the Bibles available to tho dormi-

iories of universities and colleges. l-It-idctit-e of the organi7.ation's rapid growth in (lanada in recent years is the fact that the l-millionth copy was distributed only five years ago.

There is an old English legal maxim that those who make charges must have "clean bands". so look- ing at. the whole picture of Soviet diplomatic moves and of Soviet pro- paganda tn the past. weeks one is driven to this conclusion: The Soviet leaders have not only reverted to "Stalinist" methods in the internal affairs of their empire. While it is charitable to assume that the Rus- sians want to bring about a relaxa- tion of tension in international If- tho methods they are using achieve tho oppodte effect. And they decided that the dread which Iu. men have of the potential hor-

EDITORIAL NOTES

It may not be easy to get out of the habit of writing MP after the name of a person entitled to it for the past four years. but the fact is that there is not even one MP in Canada today. The reason is of course that we have no parliament and therefore no members of parlia-
