The question which the Irish Pm . ll‘.t‘lll had to settle in this de- b.ii»- was not whether Communist China li.-is the right to a seat in the Ciiitevi Nations but whether Ire- laii-i, as a sovereign state. had a
right to express its own opinions on the .\‘llllJt‘(‘l, even if those opinions were not in agreement with i'nited Stat» .s‘ policy. It is a question which
will have to be threshed out in tl‘i~ ;‘.ii‘.;iili.'iii Parliament, too. sooner or l.it.-it It is rumoured in hritain avi ill other countries (outside the C .‘.‘ii‘.iinist bloc) where the seating of t‘liin;i in the is regarded as
ill‘\1l.'ll?li‘ that Canada's position has been dictated, or at least un- duly influi-nced. by the United States for the sake of Canadian- American harmony.
There may not be the slightest ground for this rumour. If there isn't. a plain statement from the (‘ar.adian Government giving its full l'I‘il~lillS for opposing Peiping‘s
claim would seem to be in order. That ought not be too difficult a choii~_ .\lll'.'f‘ the reasons against the iwopositioii are at least as pi(ill>llil(‘ as those for the affir- mative. ilutit isn't good for (Jan-

Montgomery's Testimony It has been the practice of late for war time generals to include in their memoirs carping criticism of Sir Winston Churchill in his var- ious war roles. The chief complaints are that the former Prime Minister was quite temperamental at times. 1 little impatient of military pro- cedures and not too easy to get along with at the council table. i It may be that in some instances fltese criticisms are well meant. In others, no doubt, they are merely ports of an advertising technique in say the books. In any event, it is riaossuring to hear from Field Mar- ital Vbcount Montgomery that hedoesnotsharathovlcwsinany rtlcular. Speaking on I televis- program in London, Lord Mont- ’ me:-y said of Sir Winston: "In opinion he is the greatest Eng-
Lord Montgomery had as much to do with Churchill during the war years as any other military of- ficer in any part of the battle front and a great deal more than those generals whose memoirs ‘are re- lated chiefly to war office routine. And. as he himself has pointed out, he was never one to have an exalted opinion of professional politicians. On both counts, his testimony must be regarded as reliable evidence.
Sir Winston may or ma_v not have been the “greatest Englishman of all time". That takes in a lot of English history and a great many statesmen of distinction. But it is certain that his service to_ his country and to the world will lie remembered long ages hence_ when the criticisms of lesser men will have been forgotten.
Weather Control
Dr. Iid\vard Teller. the distin- guished American scientist who played a leading role in the build- ing of the first atomic bomb and who is now helping the i'nitcd States regain control in nuclear de- velopment, told a t.‘oiigi~<-ssioiial committee the other day that weather control is a field in which he expects “great progress" in the next ten years or so. lie added that the 1'nited States should make cer- tain that the Soviet llnion did not get ahead in that field.
Answering his own question “what kind of world would it be if the Russians could control the weather and we could not'."', Dr. Teller pointed out that in such a situation the Russians would be able to produce rainfall in their own country and at the same time rob the United States or any other country with which they were un- friendly of moisture. That cer- tainly would present a problem. But what if both the Soviet t'nion and the United States acquired the trick at about the same time? We doubt if even Dr. Teller. as learned as he is in the complexities of physics and related subjects could find a solution to that dif- ficulty and still retain his scientific poise.
We must hope that neither side will succeed in this venture. The weather is vexing enough as it is. It would be a thousand times more so if someone in Moscow and some- one else in Washington and still another in London could each pull a switch and turn, say, a gentle rain into a flood or a wild breeze into a hurricane. That would be international turmoil with a veri- gence!
EDITORIAL NOTES
Despite bad harvesting weather, it is not expected that loss to our farmers will be great. It‘s a differ- ent story in some parts of the I'n- iied States. From Texas comes a report that “thousands of acres" of cotton rotted on the stalks. Sinne- what similar conditions havc been reported from several sections the Midwest.

The emphasis placed on the value and safety of water fluorid- ation by Dr. A. G. Racey. president of the Canadian Dental Association in his address to the local organiz- ation here on Tuesday. is in keeping with authoritative opinion across the continent. It is surely time for our civic water commissioners to revise their thinking on this silh- ject. Or have they been thinking about it at all?

Evidently, President Eisenhower is growing weary of controversy with the protiectionists on tariff issues. After turning dovm fifteen recom- mendations of the Tariff Commis- sion for increased duties he con- tented to raise the tariff on safety pins from 221.’; percent to 33 per- cent of value effective Dec. 30.

Where David Hid
