Pre- siiniabiy because. in the words of the speech, "recent events have con- firmed the belief in the importance of seeking solutions to international problems through the l'nitcd Nations and of upholding the principles of the l'nitcd Nations Cliarter." That would be wonderful, if it could be done. But surely Mr. St. Laurent must know by now that, left to its ownpmachinery. the UN. would not settle Middle East problems or the problems of any other a rea in a thousand years. The very nature of the l'.-N. ('harter. to say nothing of the organization. makes any satis- factory solution through the agency of the UN. an impossibility.

ft Welcome Report A few weeks ago a 15-year-old boy in Seattle died after receiving three injections of Salk vaccine. At the time polio was given as the cause of death. This came as a great surprise to medical experts; first, because the three injections given zit proper intervals were thought to give protection against the disease; and second. because it was the first time since the vaccine came into use that such a case had been reported. Naturally, the news caused a great deal of anxiety to parents. many of whom began wondering whether the vaccine had anything to do with the boy's death. If the diagnosis had been confirmed it would have been a serious blow to Dr. Salk and all other medical men who had put full contitlcnce in the vaccine. Forluiiately, it has tiow been re- it-alcd that the boy did not die of polio but of ”acute disseminated en- ceplialomyclitis" which is described by authorities as ”a rare disease that can easily be confused with bul- bar polio unless the tissues are ex- amined." This report comes from top experts at Johns Hopkins Unl- vcrsity. It deserves wide publicity; for it would be most unfortunate if the rumour were to get around that the injection of Salk vaccine can sometimes cause death from the dis- casc it is intended to prevent.

Ottawa: The cnvernmt-iit's pro- gram of lrgislatinn for this impor- tant pre-election session of Parlia- ment has been greeted with mix- ed leelinizs. '

As is l'lISl0lllIIl',V. the govern- ment set out its program in the speech prepared for the Govern- or General to read when be open- ed the session last week. Support- ers of the government praised the program: opposition members called it too little and too late.

The details of this key-noting Throne Speech have been widely published and are well-known. The longer part reviewed the world and the Canadian situation. Ind reaffirmed the government's sup- port of the United Nations. the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion. Ind the Commonwealth. Then eleven specific legislature propos- Its were sci out.

As for oitr foreign policy, Mr. llahn told me that he feels that the government places too much emphasis on the linitcd Nation: -which is only one of the interna- tional Igencies working for peace and prosperity - and tends to ov- erlook btith the Commonwealth and NATO by comparison. Cana- da. he hclicves. could draw the attention of the world to the de- sire for peace and the planning for prosperity in these two bodies. and could interpret to the world what these two bodies are Prepar- ed to do to achieve those aims. so experienced I political pamph- leteer. But Iiallbtirton was, as It proved. the first of I series of Canadians to come I croppcr in the House of Commons at West minister, in spite of brilliant car- eer: scene.

Perhaps he was doomed from the outset. There is no Tory like your provincial Tory: he is holler than the Pope As Professor Fel- ton IIid. he finds that "a pernici- ous liberalism has lnsinuated it- self into the principles even of the Tory leaders, whom he had look- ed up to in distant reverence from his remote provincial -.home."

Yet on I-IIliburton's behalf it should be added that his intimate knowledge of the development of British North America was on se- veral occasions on material value in the debates on rolonlIl policy.

After the triumphs of his earlier yeurl, it is I melancholy thing to read in Dr. Chittick's admir- Ible blogrIphy that his death. in 1861. passed almost without com- ment In his native province. lmI- gint it to be possible, that The NovIscotlIn, which has given first currency to his inimitable Sam Slick pupers, should not carry I single word about his death! BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES

In England, there were many blogrnphlcnl, sketches. but Dr. Chetllck uys they "really only served II testimonials to the com- pletenesl with which he had be- come forgotten." Worse still. they contained many inaccuracies that were persistently circulated and repeated or decudes. and may ltill be current.

Happily. this Iclipse of his name has been suceeded by I more un- rtcrstandlng appreciation in Ca... ada of his life and works. Nova Scotlans resented some of his sharp Iaylngt Ind deplored his long opposition to responsible gov- ernment. His contempormies held against him some personal foibles and laws connected with his pen- sion claims IgIifIst the Nova Sco- tiIn Government.
