lI Concerns Us All

With the launching of the an- nual Tuberculosis League's Christ— mas Seal Sale. it is Worth noting that. despite substantial advances in prevention. diagnosis and treatment. of tuberculosis as a discasc. the basic problems of control have re- mained relatively unchanged over the years. Prevention of infection with its consequent disease and death is still the goal, here as in the rest of Canada: and no short cuts to thisrgoal have been discovered.

In tuberculosis, reactivation of the disease is notoriously frequent. Consequently many ex-patients have to be re-admitted to sanitoria for investigation and treatment, or for both. The number of" admissions to the Provincial Sanatorium in 1960, for example was 78; in 1961 it was 99.

The League is a voluntary or. ganization. and while It wnrks in close cooperation with the public health authorities it is dependent not on government, but on public, support. It has concentrated its cf- forts on prevention, on rchabilita- tion, on education and on research; and its activities undoubtedly have had much to do with the fact: that Canada is among the half dozen countries with the world's lowest TR death and incidence rates. The core of the problem still remains, how- ever—which is to find cases early and have them trcatcd promptly.

Last year. awarding to a (“brist- mas Seals News bulletin. the palm for the largest Canadian increase in returns wont to Prince Edward Island. which also had a great in- crease in the percent of its mailing list that contributed. This is a good record to keep in mind, but not to be Complacenl about. lmt's not let. ourselves down this ycar. but strive to better It.

Liberals And Funny Money

Did the Liberals gain or lose ground at Ottawa last. week when they nearly defeated the Govern- ment by voting, with the Social Credit Party, for a non-confidence motion calling for "debt. free money"? In newspapers across Canada, there Is a general feeling that they lost ground. The argu- ments of their spokesmen, Mr. Wal- ter Gordon and Hon. Paul Martin, may have sounded plausible to the party stalwarts, but cold analyses of their statements show that it was a plain case of political opportunism.

According to Mr. Gordon, the Social Credit monetary doctrine, if over applied In practice, would bring "financial panic and ruin in its wake.” It was “a fuzzy form of economic radicalism which is not supported by any recognized econo- mist." Accordingly, he rejected out of hand the Social Credit. definition of “debt-free money" and came up with a definition of his own

It could be, he suggested. “a colloquial expression for such things as grants to municipalities for schools, hospitals and universities. and for easier credit," and to that extent. at. least it. sounded “not un- like some parts of the Libch Party

m." Accordingly, and over shrill Socred protests, he was pre- pared to accept it. ‘

Mr. Martin, for his part, was delighted to find in the works of Lord Keynes .that a phrase to which the Sou-eds attached but one mean- lll could have “'fIIrther variations.

different Interpretations." The Lib-

e umld, therefore. vote for the

Wt. Not because

they had been converted to Soclal Credit doctrine. No indeed! But be- cause this was a chance not to be mibsed: and, in the final analysis. “we were elected to oppose this Government."

This evidently was uppermost in Mr. Martin‘s mind. At an earlier stage he had interrupted the New Democratic Party spokesman. Mr. David Lewis, to ask if he and his party were prepared to take “im- mediate steps" to defeat the Govern- ment. Mr. Lewis replied: “If the hon. member means by his question that we should vote for the Social (‘rcdit amendment because he in- tends to vote for it, that is neither an appropriate nor an honest. step to take; and that kind of behaviour by the hon. member and his asso- ciates, if that is their intention. merely underlines their insatiable hunger to get across the aisles to the Treasury Benches, and that they will be prepared to make them- selves ridiculous in the eyes of the people of Canada by voting debt-free money in which they do not be- licvc. We. do not intend to join them in doing that."

That pretty well sums it up, In the view of most commentators-— none of whom. that we have read. particularly favorable to the New Democrats.

The Gauntanamo Base

According to Washington re- ports, rough exchanges still lie ahead with Cuba over American rights in the Guantanamo naval base. This base was originally ceded to the United States to protect the Cuban people in their newly won independ- ence after the Spanish-American War. Premier Castro insists that it is now serving a quite opposite pur- pose. and that. the agreement is null and void.

President Theodore Roosevelt. who negotiated the agreement. de- fended it against American critics who wanted the United States, in- stead, to annex Cuba or to treat it as a principality. In 1934 Cuba signed a treaty with the United States confirming American rights and stating that these rights could be ended only with the consent of both governments. In return, the US. abandoned what was known as the Platt amendment which served as authority to justify United States intervention at: will in Cuba’s internal affairs.

Under the 1934 treaty the United States is required to pay only $2,000 a. year in gold for the use of Guantanamo Bay as a naval station. This nominal sum was de- liberately chosen to emphasize that Cuba sought to make no profit from the arrangement. and entered free- ly into it.

Washington insists that. the United States navy still needs the base because Guantanamo is “the crossroads of the Caribbean.” The Cuban government is unimpressed by these ..rguments. Castro insists that he cannot be shackled by the 1934 treaty. His maximum demand for American withdrawal from Guantanamo; his minimum demand is for a re-negotiation with him of the treaty. Whatever the outcome. therefore, of the situation that led to the Soviet missile base crisis, it is predicted that the future of Guantanamo Bay will remain an important element in controversial relations between hrba and the United States,
