Making Haste Slowly

Prime Minister Diefenbaker has given Parliament a good reason why (‘ a n aria should go slow in acquiring nuclear arms for its NATO forces at. this time. The Nassau agreement. he pointed out. aims at. preseiying an objective long sought by the Canadian Govern- ment. namely a limitation on the furthcr enlargement. of the nuclear family. The whole future and shape of NATO military forces are now in process of review.

Discussions on political control of any multilateral nuclear force established by the alliance are, said the Prime Minister. bound to con- tinue for many months. it would be premature to say anything fur- ther until there is a clear indica- tion as to whether or not some form of NATO multilateral force can be worked out.

This statement. of course. will not satisfy those who are demand- ing “action” on this issue. who feel that Canada is dragging its feet and should waste no further time in acquiring the tactical nuclear weapons that. General Norstad said it should have under its NATO com- mitments. But General Norstad is not charged with the responsibility of governing this country—nor in- deed. any more. with the NATO military command in Europe—and the same applies to Mr. Diefen- baker‘s critics in and out of Par- liament.

The Prime Minister cannot. af- ford the luxury of viewing this grave issue emotionally. or from any other standpoints than those of Canada's vital interests and present-day effectiveness in work- ing for world peace and security- 'I'o refuse to move when action would be premature is just as much a duty of statesmanship as to act. when the occasion requires it.

Of course, it. is rarely a popular policy to pursue; but students of Canadian history will recall that it was one which Sir John A. Mac- rlonald followed With Outstanding success in the early days of this Dominion. and which earned him the title of “Old Tomorrow." Sir ,lohn's fame as a nation builder re— mains untarniehcd by time. where- as the very names of many of the most vociferous critics of his de- laying tactics have long since pass- cd into oblivion.

Closing British Ranks

The British Parliament has re- assembled under the cloud of Presi- dent de Gaulle's harsh "no" to Brit.- ain joining the European Economic Community, and interest centers now on how the Labor opposition will react to this arrogant gesture on the part of the French leader. It has been timed with seemingly deliberate intent, for there was no reason why. if dc. Gaulle objected so strongly to Britain's entry into the Common Market. he couldn’t have said so 15 months ago. This point. made by Prime Minister Har- old Macmillan in his speech on Monday night, goes to the root of the matter.

The anger of the British over what they see as de Gaulle’s cav- alier treatment of them and his timing have aroused sympathy for Mr. Macmillan and his government. This is one of the reasons why the Laborifes have been holding their fire of late. Another reason. of course. has been the illness and death of their leader. Mr. Gaitskell. George Brown. the party's deputy any

leader. appears to prefer to play the Common Market issue "cool".

It is not without significance that the Daily Herald. which usual- ly reflects Labor views. declares that Mr. Macmillan is right to press on with Common Market negotiations in Brussels despite General de Gaulle. It could be, in- deed. that the de Gaulle speech has lessened the gap between Britain's pro- and anti-marktcers. For. from the Labor as well as from the Gov- ernment point of view. de Gaulle has glaringly revealed his narrow, inward-looking concept of Euro- pean unity.

Another interesting reaction to de Gaulle's attitude comes from an American correspondent at Brus- sels. who says opinion there is to the effect that it was against the United States ra'rher than Britain that the French president launched his massive frontal attack. His im- placable insistence on suspending the negotiations for Britain's entry was. reportedly. because of Britain's interdependence with the United States

Another voice has bccn raised in criticism of do Gaulle's attitude. which may prove the. most cffcctivc one of all at Brussels. That is the voice of Jean Monnet. credited with fathering the great Schuman Plan coal and steel pool that formcd a nucleus and pilot project for the Common Market. M. Monnet says it is untenable to argue Britain's unwillingness to meet the require- ments of Common Market mcmbcr- ship, as these have been defined in technical agreements. Britain, he. maintains, has in fact met. these requirements already.

Food And Population

Those who think that there is no future in farming should study the current population incrcasc. prc— dictions. According to the latest Dominion Bureau of Statistics re- port, Canada‘s population will rise to more than 22 million by June, 1971. This forecast is based on an analysis of the 1061 census figures, which showed an increase of 4,228,- 818 from 111,009,429 over the pre- ceding decade. This rising popula- tion will make more and more de- mands on our food producers. Pro- viding they adapt themselves to the changing requirements, it would seem that the farmers’ place in Canada‘s future is the most assured one of all.

This applies only to our home market; but. think of the skyrocket- ing population o u ts i d e Canada‘s boundaries! If there is to be even moderate improvement in the pres- ent inadequate state of nutrition for half the people on earth. the world’s food production must be doubled by 1980, and trebled by the year 2000. These were the conclu- sions presented this week by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. They are based on the assumption that the world's population will double by the end of the century.

It, took tens of thousands of years from the dawn of mankind for the world to reach 1,000 million population in 1830. But it took only 100 years, until 1930. to reach 2.000 million population and only 30 years, until 1960. to reach 3,000 million. In the next forty years, by the end of this century, the popu- lation is expected to reach 6.000 million; and from then on it will go up in huge multiples every year.

Food? If the world doesn’t go mad and blow itself up in the mean- time, production of this commodity

will be of overriding concern in the'

years to come. Out of sheer neces- sity, governments will have to de- vote more and more attention to it, enlisting the aid of science on a scale now undreamed of. and. incidentally. elevating the status of the food producer and holding out their most tempting awards to proficiency in this vital occupation.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Only thirty years ago. mink furs had to be imported into Germany from abroad. Today German breed- ers can boast of supplying 11 per cent of total mink requirements in the world. 60.000 furs at an aggre- gate value of about three million marks are manufactured in the northernmost federal state. Schles- wig-Holstein. Almost two-thirds of the 700 mink farms in Germany are located between the North Sea and the Baltic.

Surgery Cures Vo ricose Veins

y Dr. Theodore R. Van Dcllen

VARI-COSE veins are ellmin- l ated by various surgical pro- . eedures, in which the veins are [ tied off or stripped out. This is regarded as modern treatment . even though Galen (130-201 A. D.) recommended that they be torn out by a hook— a crude l form of stripping, to say th 9 Y least. Five hundred years later. ' Acgineta described a met f tying them off and rem oving them from the legs. There is 1 little that is new, except the an- i esthclic, for which we can be 1 thankful.

Smaller veins can be plugged by injecting an irritating solu- tion that fo rms a clot. Once this is done. the vein dries up and becomes scar tissue. Now ' and then. the physician utilizes a combination of treatments in which the dilated vein is inject. ed and tied off at several plac- es along its sourse.

The Russians have new tcchniquc that accomplishes t 9 same result. An incision is made over the two ends of the affected vein. A short segment is rcmovcd at the top end fus- ually in the groin) and a catgut thread is introduced throuuh the whole length of the vein and the two ends are tied off. The cat- gut remains in the vein a n d stimulatcs clotting. This is a variation of the i n j e c lion mcthod.

Should these veins be re- mrivcd'.‘ ch. hccausc they are unsightly and useless. In addi- tion. when the body is erect, blood flows in the opposite di- rection in these dilatcd veins.

COMMON MARKET CRISIS

Britain And President de Goulle

Pt‘cs’tdcpl dc Gaullc's‘ slalo— mcnts at his rcccnl prcss con- ference have brought right out into the open the fundamental issue at stake in the Brussels negotiations on Britain‘s acccs- stop to thc European Economic Community. That issuc is the futurc shapc of Eurnpc. is it to build up its unity on as broad a basis as possiblc. or are the Six to keep other Buropcan coun- tries such as Britain from join- ing thcm and to dcvclop as a sclf'sufficicnt and possibly in- ward- lookinz: group?

We are plcascd to state to the pcoplc of the Province that our total mortgage was $485000. not $450000. as stated by Mr. thatlcy.

sccms lo have lain behind the Frcnch ncgotiating posllion. But the important point to grasp is that when the Common Market comes into full opera- tion, British agriculture will be trcatcd in cxactly 9 same way as that of any othcr mem- ber country.

So much for the British posi- tion at Brussels. What of the Frcnch President‘s prcfcrcnce for a Community limited to the Six founder mcm crs? To en- largc thc F..IC.C.. the Prcsidcnt argues, would be to change it to

such a dcgrcc that it would no ‘

longer rescmhlc the one which Francc has bccn working for. To this onc can only reply that.

in that case. thc F..E.C. as con-

ccivcd by Franco is not i h e F‘..l"..C. conceived by the Treaty of Rome. That Treaty. as the fcderal German Foreign Minis- tcr and other E.E.C. Ministers havc pointcd out. speaks of dctcrmination to scek an ever- widcr union among the Eur- opcan pcoplcs.

IMPORTANT POINT

But whether the Frcnch con- i

ccption of the EEC. is in bar- mony with that of the Treaty of Romc is not the important point. It is whcthcr this little Europe. thc Europe of the Six favoured by France. is to be preferred to an enlarged Community. Is it rcnlly to Europe's advantage to cxcludc, as the French Presi- dcnt sccms to wish to do. Bur- opcan countries which h a v e agrccmcnts or links of one kind or another with countries I‘ulsidc Europc such as Britain. for instance. has with the rest of thc Commonwealth (or. for that mattcr France herself with countrics in Africa)? Surely such ties could be of the utmost value in reducing the chances of conflicts of economic interest, of political misunderstanding bctwccn the Community and the rcst of the world.

One of the great advantages

which sccmed to be coming of I

1 the ncgotiations at B ru 3 s els ‘ ovcr Commonwealth trade was thc possibility, arising out. of the u n d e rt a king to promote world trade agreements on agri- cultural produce. of p u t t l n I: trade relations between primary producing countries and indus- trialised nations on a erman- cnlly more satisfactory footing.
