Dragging Their Feet

Noted by a Press commentator is the fact that whiio this session of Parliament already has labored longer than the lliblical forty days and forty nights (it open- ed on Sept. 27) it has done precious little in the way of dospaiching the business for which it was called.

Opposition members have at least as much responsibility to shoulder for this delay as has the Government. for they have been holding up the work of the session by forcing non-confidence motions

States and Britain. Their arrival coincided with the abandonment by India of its original stand that no foreign military or quasi-military personnel should be employed.

The air transport planes from the l'nitcd States to ferry Indian troops are to lie manned by American air- crcws under Indian command. Sim- ilarly India will now avail itself of guidance and advice front foreign logistics and supplies experts. Mean- while the Indian people are being warned that they must be prepared for war—for scorched earth. for damage bombing. e v e n for a fur- titer and temporary loss of Indian territory. In New Delhi and Bombay the first stops toward guarding cities from air attacks are being taken. and training is under way to teach the population the rudiments of civil dct'cnsc.

For the t‘hiiicsc, however, there are grave implications involved in the arrival in India of top British and .-\mcrican advisers. If this should lead. ultimately. to participa- tion iii the struggle by combat sold- iers from these \\'cstern powers. the Reds would really have something to worry about. For this kind of in- tervention would almost surely lead to allied bombing of (‘hinese Com- munist supply lines running over the high mountain passes. These lines are easily cut by air attack, and the Chinese forces in India would be in a dangerous position if sev- ered from their bases.

There. is also the prospect that, by renewing offensive operations on a more extended scale. the (‘hinese

Noriebleeds Sold Worry To‘Doctor

By Dr. Theodore IQ. Van Dent-n

SEVERAL months ago I call- he could see a friend of mine whose nose was bleeding “Of course," he said, "But I'm not happy about it." I found out why he felt that way.

y friend spent more than an hour in the treatment room. The physician's office was crowded and the se patients were annoyed at having to wait so long. The specialist began by searching for the bleeding point and found it‘ on the septum, halfway up the nose. After application of pres- sure a few minutes fa i l c (i. he cauterized the bleeding ves- sel with silver nitrate and said to the patient. “Sit still for 10 minutes and we will see if the cauterizalion holds."

At the cud of that period. .slight oozing was still present and there was no alternative ‘ except to pack the nose. This takes time. when done proper- ly, and our specialist did the job properly. despite the pres- sure of a full officc. Bleeding stopped and when the pack was removed two days later. said, “Cross your fingers while I remove the pack. Hemorrhage may return."

the month of November. The sole lasting accomplishment has been an expansion of the export credits in- surance act. designed to underwrite more Canadian export sales.

Sixteen government measures - including establishment of an lico- nomic Development Board and an Atlantic Development Board—arc only at the resolution stage and must be introduced as bills and given three readings in the Commons and Senate before receiving royal assent. Another eleven government inca- nuros, including retirement of Sen- ators at the age of 75, await sec- ond reading. Altogether 4?. govern- ment measures are awaiting ap- proval in various stages of debate. In addition the Commons has 1‘33 private members’ bills and resolu- tions to dispose of, and there are about Still divorce bills pending.

These add up to a lot of work, quite apart from the detailed con- Iideration of the. 1962-63 spending budget—already nearly three—quar- ters spent—and the prospect of a new spending budget and a taxing budget for 1963-64.

It is time. surely. for the mom— hers on both sides of tho ilo-isn to call a halt to partisan bickering. The Government. in its precarious position. cannot force. the pace with- ~oui Opposition co-operatiou; and. despite all the talk about it when the session opened. this co-opera- tion has been conspicuously lacking, especially from the Liberals. who are obsessed with the idea of forc- ing another election on the Country.

This would result in more delay andwprobably—worse’ confusion. But Mr. Pearson doesn't seem to be impressed by this argument at. all. Which leads us to speculate on whether there are not two different kinds of Liberals in Canada today—— the kind at Ottawa. clamoring for In inopportune gamble at th e polls. and the kind, say, in Prince Edward Island and Manitoba. who are denouncing the C(mservatives for calling snap elections in these

i provinces. They cannot have it both iways; and we suggest that these provincial Liberals unite with us in urging their colleagues at Ottawa “to forget their political ambitions for awhile and get down to work.

In rejecting the key provision in Communist China's proclamation of ,n cease fire in the Himalayas. the Indian government has indicated. in Its own words. its determination not to allow the Chinese “in reward of aggression to extend their unlaw-

~ ,ful control of Indian territory." It is

" {no without significance that at this 3‘ . : juncture, on land to advise ' . guide the Indian leaders were mm from the United

China to curb its offensive designs at this juncture. As a manouver in power politics it has already achiev- cd. probably. what it set out in do.

Opportunities Knocking

Prepared annually for distribu- tion to undergraduates, graduating and graduate students at Canadian universities and colleges. the 1963- 63 edition of the booklet “Supply and Demand—University Gradu- ates.” has been issued by the Na- tional Employment Service at 0t- tawa and is deserving of careful, study by all concerned. Employers, as well as those seeking employ- ment. will find it a mine of useful information to help them in their search for professional manpower.

For example. a table of estimat- ml graduatious in 1963. in 30 dif- ferent branches of science, engineer- ing and the humanities, lists 28 uni- versities and colleges from which graduates may be recruited. The text the trends of in- crease or decrease foreseen in gradu- ations, in more than 40 professional categories. The extent of demand by business and industry for graduates in tho various disciplines is also forecast. A summary of estimated starting monthly salaries. received in 1062 by university graduates in more than 30 professional fields, in- dicates what 1063 graduates may ex- pect to he offered.

The starting salary charts point up the financial advantage to be reaped by students who continue beyond the bachelor level to gain master‘s or doctor’s degree. The text explains in which disciplines graduate students are expected in excess of demand. and in which courses there will not be enough graduates to supply the manpower needed by employers. The prefer- ence by employers for honors rath- er than pass Course. graduates is clearly pointed out. The types of employment for which graduates in the various disciplines may best be suited. are. also described.

We are advised that both high schools and employers may obtain CODIOS of this booklet from their local National Employment Office. It, should prove stimulating as well as informative reading. for it under- lines the many ways in which op- portunity is knocking at the door.

EDITORIAL NOTE

It is to he hoped. in its efforts to recompense farmers for grain lossess occasioned by weather con- ditions this season, that the Prov- incial Govemment will obtain sub- stantial aid from Ottawa. A good case could be made out for federal assistance in an emergency of this kind, and we have no doubt that efforts will he made along this line when the survey is completed.

Sir.« Since 1957 much has been said and written about the Causeway and apparently not enough being said to the right people and certainly not enough being written. It's a well known fact that the squeaking wheel gets the grease. So we Island- ers should squeak plenty a n d maybe do a bit of squawking as

ell. Figures published recently show more than 5. . ha .

. spent on the feasibility study of the Causeway. It would appear to me that someone is being taken for a ride, I hollow too. that the politicians are using the causeway strictly as a political football. It has been stated recently by the Prime Minister that the Cause- way will be built. but of course he didn't say when.

Just prior to the last Federal Election the Hon. Angus Mac- Lean slated publicly at Sum- merside that it was necessary to construct n scale model of the Causeway at Ottawa. there is such a scale model in Ottawa why didn't the powers that be show it to three Inland- ers who visited die Capital Int summer for this purpose.
