Sir Anthony's Illness Sir Anthony Eden's illness comes at a difficult time for the country he has served so well and faithfully frur mum" years in peace and in war. it minis as no surprise, however, for he has been under heavy strain in recent months, a strain which was aggravated by his political oppon- ents in Parliament who in Britain's gravest crisis since World War Two chose to put their ambitions before the need for national unity. One might suggest that it was aggravated, too, by the lack of sympathy for and understanding of the British position in official circles in Canada where, it is now clear, judgment was entered hastily and without adequate know- ledge of the facts of the situation. Sir Anthony's friends at home and abroad--and their number still is legion--will hope and pray that his illness will be of a temporary nature and that before long he will be able to return to his place of leadership Ind responsibility. Meanwhile, Mr. R. A. Butler, the Prime Minister's chief lieutenant, can be” expected to ad- here to the strong and sane policy of non-appeasement of any power great or small which might threaten Britain's military security and her economic wellbeing.

There is some speculation that Sir Anthony will soon retire perman- ently from the Prime Ministership. That, it may be assumed, will depend on the state of his health and not on the will of his critics at home or elsewhere. His whole record bears testimony to the fact that fear of criticism will never have dominion over him or his decisions. If, un- fortunately, ill health should oblige

- him to retire now or in the near

America has been constantht en- couraging the Hungarians and other captive peoples to break away from the Russians. To be told now that ”liberation" means only "keeping alive the spirit of freedom and hope" and that rebellion is frowned upon must almost as galling an experi- ence as the sufferings inflicted upon them by the Russians. They are ask- ing: "If the United States never had any intention of coming to our aid, why were we encouraged to seek our freedom?" No one seems to have an answer.

Election Postponed?

A member of the Federal Cabinet has intimated that the next general election may be deferred to 1958, the constitutional deadline for the mandate given in 1951:. He did not say that this decision has already been reached but only that an elec- tion next summer is not a certainty. It is quite possible, however, that he was speaking in advance for an edict which will be forthcoming in due course. There is good reason to be- licve that the strategists of the party would have preferred an election this tall and that the controversial pipeline legislation and, more parti- cularly, the arrogant manner in which it was handled forced a post- ponenicnt, the hope being that by the summer of 10.3? the unsavoury episode will have been forgotten, or at least its implications overlooked, by the electorate.

As things turned out, however, the Government finds itself up against another and even more seri- ous oI)stacle to its hope for another term. We refer, of course, to its hasty rcpiidiation of Britain and France in the early days of the Suez crisis. It is much too early for any- one. even the Prime Minister him- self, to gauge with reasonable ac- curacy the extcnt of public indig- nation over the Government's policy in this crisis, but there is no question that the indignation is widespread. This can be gathered from press comment in many parts of the coun- try, from resolutions adopted by or- ganizations of various kinds, and not least from the apparent attempt of External Affairs Minister Pearson in the U.N. General Assembly to make it appear that the initial Canadian

future. it would be under conditions of strengthened confidence in his judgment, impartial surveys having revealed unmistakeably that much of the criticism that met his Govern- ment's decision to intervene in Egypt has vanished as more factual infor- mation on the situation that existed at that time has come to light.

-"Policy" For Hungary

There is evidence of a rising tide

of indignation in the United Nations Assembly over the deportation of Hungarian patriots, and of renewed pressure on the Soviet Union by even the Asiastic and African states for a showdown on this burning issue. A Cuban proposal linked the Soviets with the crime of genocide-the cal- culated destruction of a nation, people or group, and a second reso- lution. submitted by India, Indonesia and Ceylon, lndorsed the demand for a first-hand survey of the situation by U.N. observers. An urgent plan to meet the immediate need of thou- sands of refugees streaming west- ward into Austria has been present- ed. It is doubtful what effect these expressions of world opinion will have on the Soviet war lords. but at least they should stiffen the back- hone of our American neighbors. and awaken them to their own responsi- bilities for taking action commensu- rate with their power and Influence. So far the United States Govern- ment has done little but make known its "policy" for Hungary and any other Soviet satellite that might have hoped for American support in its fight for freedom. According to Pres- ident Eisenhower, the policy is three- fold: 1. The United states will do everything possiHc to hep alive the of freedom and hope in the nations. 2. The United States mus not udvocotp opal rebellion by annual people saint superior

reaction to British-French interven- tion in the Middle East was not as pro-Egyptian as it may have seemed. All this. added to the likelihood that the crisis will continue for at least another year or so, even if it does not get worse, may have convinced the Cabinet that a postponement of the election date would be a wise political move.

NO DISPUTE ON THAT POINT

Marching

tlcdiiorts Note: Mr. Courtenay. who spoke here some time ago as guest of the Canadian Club. took part in the march from the Suez Canal to Gaza. Palestine, a- cross the Sinai Desert. us an In- fantryman in 1916-171.

The march of the Israelis across Sinai and their seizure of the Gaza strip recalls the memory of a sim- ilar march made by the Turks in 1915 to the Suez Canal from Pales- tine and the march back from E- gypt to the Holy Land by Austral- ian. New Zealand and British forc- es. These forces had formed up in the Canal Zone near El Kan- turn at the close of 1915, following our withdrawal from Gailipoh. That venture in 1915 was due to one of Churchillis grand cinema- scope ideas. it was born of the fact that allied armies were bogged down on the 400 miles front in Europe from the Belgian coast to the Swiss frontier and that all maneuver had been forfeited to the deadly machine gun which ran- idly drove German - British and French armies into the shelter of their fortified trcnch systems.

But. failure at Gallipoli caused the forces to be switched to Egypt to face the Turkish threat to the Suez Canal. By the close of 1915 Turks were close to it in the sand dunes on the Sinai side. Some car- ried pontoons with which to cross over Into Egypt. others filled sand- bags to dump into the Canal to block it. yet others fired at the slow moving ships at night. For a few weeks the traffic was divert- d rnd the Cape.

BATTLES OF GAZA

Thus. early 1916. we crossed the Canal at E Ramona and com- menced the long march along the Muilu-isnnean coast which was to culminate In the Battles of Gaza in March and April of 1917 at both of which 1 was present. These led to Allenbv's Liberation of the Holy Land.

Our march was conditioned by two factors - absence of water on Sinai and the fact that heavily clad tnfantrymen sank up to their an- kles in the soft sand. A win road was laid for some miles to aid the march, but even so. progress was limited to about seven miles per day. There is brackish water All along the Mediterranean a few feet below the sand. Doubtless. the Turks lived on It and were not burdened with that heavy logis- tic support required by western snnles.

Each morn revellle sounded at 4 nm Every man rose from his diminutive hivnuac and shaved no 415 n m. - the invariable rule of the British services. Breakfast fol- lowed at 4.30 am. and the march commenced in the cool of the morn by 5 am Slrick water discipline was maintained Each man car- ried one bottle of water daily for shaving and drinking. None was permitted to drink before 10 am. on the line of march. By then the bottle was burnished. the water hot and it failed to stake thirst. ARDUOUS MARCH

baggage and the rations.

Behind us at the rate of a mile I per day came the railway which the Royal Engineers built from Egypt to Palestine - a broad guuge line which now links both countries. Alongside it was built the fresh supply line also. We could not move too far ahead of the railhesd. Each 11' ht the camels moved in long slhouetted silent columns to the railhead for water and rations.

THE CAMEL'S BACK

The legend of the straw which breaks the camel's back must have some substance of truth. We car- i ried heavy tins of "Muchonchis rations" in our packs, but some of the young soldiers were artful e- nough to conceal them in the blan- ket rolls so the camels could car- ry them. As soon as the camel was "barrscked" - pulled down to his knees - and the Egyptian Lab- our Corps. who wore white letters E.L.C. across their dark blue gala- bier gowns. loaded the blankets, etc.. we would slip the tins inside the blanket rolls. When the camel rose to his feet, he bellowed so fur- iously - knowing what his "all up weight" should be. and the com- pany commander would come gal- loping down the line to lnqulrs what the fuss was about.

The camels were again "bun necked." blankets rolls unfastcned and the offending tins would fall out and be returned to the guilty

soldiers' packs. When the camel rose again. he was quiet. regard- ing the scene with a supercillious look. We tried this on many cam- els for eight months. it never suc- cceded. We enjoyed bathing in the near- by Mediterannean every day. and at times. halted for some weeks to- allow the railway to catch up or. because we might be engaged with a Turkish reargunrd. when we reached Rafa below Gaza in March 1017, we crossed the boundary be- tween the soft sand and the firm ground of Palestine. it was at this junction that we received wire shoes from England. The ides was to wear them like new shoes to re- sist the soft sand when heavily lad- rn. But. they arrived 18 months too late and on the day we left the desert behind us - they be- came one more additional item for the poor infantry soldier to carry. BEFORE GAZA Thus. we stood before Gaza by March 1917. ready to Assault that same hill of which Samson is re- puted to have carried the gates- the hill of Ali Muntar. The soldier of 40 years ago reflected if was easy money for Samson-41 nhill. tougher for us to scale those heights and try In take Gaza. Both battles were stnlemsted be- ing frontal assaults. Not until Al- lenby succeeded General Sir Arch- ibald Murray. who had command- ed the Meditcranneun Expedtlmr ary Force through the march and both battles. did we succeed.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (November B. 1031)

In the Supreme Court on Thurs- day. judgement was delivered for the Defendant in the case of the City of Charlottetown vs. the Foun- dations Maritime Limited an ac- lion brought for 87,812.50 being taxes levied In respect of I con- tract for building the Canadian National Hotel in this city. The three judges dismissed the action on the grounds that the by-law im- posing the tax was ultru-virel.

sodium content of one liter of wat- er to be on the average of about 160 to 175 mg. The amount of sod- ium, of course. varied and occu- ionslly was as high as 253 mg. per liter. This may be enough to nullify any efforts to maintain a low sodium diet.

BOLVING PROBLEM . In some instances. about the only way to solve this problem is to use the treated water for bath- inil. washing dishes and doing the laundry and to use untreated wat-

er for drinking and cooking.

Even this, however, may not be advisable for some of you who are on strict low sodium diets. for lu certain localities. the sodium content of the untreated water may be high enough to spoil such diets.

in such cases. it is probably best to use distilled water or hot- tled water with a known low sod- ium content. QUESTION AND ANSWER
