‘ - u “Emotion And Contusron

At a press conference in Winnipeg

the other day, Trade Minister Mc-

' Cutcheon said be doubted that the.

question of nuclear arms for Can- ada would become a major election issue. The matter was “too clouded with emotion and confusion," and he didn't think the people understood it. This, of course, hasn't always prevented issues from becoming major political footballs; but in this case there does seem a tendency, since Parliament dissolved, to pro- ceed with a growing amount of cau- tion.

The fact is that with regard to the nucleararms role which Wash— ington has been urging the Cana- dian government to adopt without further delay, every political party has its reservations. They all appear to feel that such a role is inappro- priate for Canada, notwithstanding Mr. Pearson’s accusations of gov- ernment “indecision” b e c a u s e it hasn’t signed on the dotted line.

While the Liberal leader says he would accept a nuclear tactical arms policy to fulfill previous com- mitments, he would begin negotia- tions immediately to get rid of them, or at least to consider get- ting rid of them. The Socreds dis- agree among themselves on the sub- ject, while the New Democrats are for an out and out refusal to sign

‘at any time.

Among the parties there are signs that a re-orientation in think- ing is going on. The lag in signing a bilateral treaty for nuclear war- heads, which was the subject of the US. state department’s criticism, no longer seems as deplorable as when it helped to defeat the government and split the cabinet itself. Now the only ones who are definitely for the kind of agreement that Washington wants us to make are the Conser- vative ministers who quarrelled with Mr. Diefenbaker on the subject. And they do not constitute a party.

Thus we have the paradox of an “issue” which is becoming vaguer and more confused as the campaign approaches, and threatens to dis- integrate altogether in m can- ingless talk. This is probably what Mr. McCutcheon meant in his com- ments above quoted.

Incidentally. it was to urge greater efforts in Canadian pro- duction to capture a larger share of domestic and foreign markets that the minister made his trip to Winni- peg. That shouldn’t be an issue either; but it is a campaign in which all parties, regardless of politics, can wholeheartedly join.

Strengthening The Ties

One of the results of the Com- monwealth Education Conference held at Oxford in July, 1959, was the creation of over 1,000 scholar- ships and fellowships throughout the Commonwealth, of which num- ber the British government under- toolt to provide 500. These awards, to be continued from year to year, are mainly in the academic field and for postgraduate study and re- search. The third annual report of the commission which administers the plan in Britain has just been published. and it affords an en- couraging index of progress in this far-sighted endeavor.

There were 381 Commonwealth scholars studying In Britain under this plan during the academic year 1961-62. As a result of the 1962 competition a further 188 scholars fuck up awards in Britain. These

*5.

scholars were drawn Irom an mem- ber countries of the Commonwealth. from the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and 16 Colonial ter- ritories. The largest numbers came from India (30), Canada (24), Aus- tralia (20), Pakistan (16), Nigeria (16). Some countries, such as the Bahamas, Swaziland and Tongo, are represented for the first time in the awards. A large number of scholars from the first year’s in- take (that of 1960) have applied for an extension of their awards, and a substantial number of these ap- plications have been granted by the commission.

In the period covered by the re- port a total of 12 countries invited the commission to nominate British candidates for their awards. Of these, Cyprus was offering scholar- ships to British candidates for the first time. 232 applications for the several sets of awards were receiv- ed and, up to the end of the period covered by the rep or t, 24 new awards had been made and accepted.

It is impossible to assess the value of this in o v e m e n t on the f u t u re course of Commonwealth relations, but there is no doubt that it will be far in excess of the money expended on it. The selectors look for men and women of high in- tellectual promise who may be ex- pected to make a significant con- tribution to life in their own Coun- tries. They are being trained for the kind of leadership which is most badly needed today. and on which the hopes of our civilization depend. It will be a slow process, and there will be failures as well as successes to be scored up in this program. as in others. But one can hope that it will go on from strength to strength.

Diplomatic Snag

“One of the great moments in history,” writes James Boston in the New York Times, “took place the recently when the Mona Lisa passed Whistler's Mother on the Jersey Turnpike. The old lady was on her way down to Atlanta, and the young uoman was going up to New York, both by courtesy of President Charles de Gaulle.”

Art has now become an instru- ment of the new diplomacy, and two world famous paintings are playing their part in furthering internation- al amenities. And they can stand some furthering so far as France and the United States are concerned. But (I i p I o m a c y doesn’t always run smoothly. even on this high c u l t u 1' al level. According to Mr. Reston. for a debut of the Mona Lisa the French Ambassador at Washington. Herve Alphand. was invited to a dinner in New York. So was the Secretary General of the United Nations, U Thant. But the French are not very keen about the United Nations or U Thant so the French Ambassador objected.

.The Secretary General, he in- sisted, should not sit at the head table with the French Ambassador, but only at another table with Mrs. Alphand, and not even there unless it could be arranged that the Sec- retary General should not have his picture taken either with Mrs. Alphand or the Mona Lisa!

EDITORIAL NOTES

Physicians in the United States have developed an ingenious system for keeping abreast of the latest de- velopments in their fields. Medical societies in several states, notably California, issue weekly tape—re- corded lectures on current research and discoveries in such specialties as pediatrics, obstetrics, surgery, in- ternal medicine or cardio-vascular diseases.- Doctors subscribe to the series which interests them. play the tapes on portable machines while driving between home and hospital or en route to patient calls.

' t

The Chinese ambassador at Ottawa is quoted as saying: “How wonderful that you Canadians can change your government without killing anybody!” This graceful compliment, comments the Finan- ciay Post, is welcome; but Cana- dian restraint should not be put down to natural virtue. It. could be a matter of population density. Numbering a mere 18 million in this enormous country, Canadians are spaced pretty far apart. In case of a really hot political war between, say. Alberta and Nova Scotia, the route marches would be so long the troops would be bored stiff before a ahot had been fired.

A Soviet

By Ken Priichard Canadian Press Staff Writer

A concession on on-site in- spections was offered the Soviet Union by the West Wednesday: the Soviets countered with a i- version.

On the same day a US. spokesman indicated the West would accept fewer than eight annual on-site inspections as part of any nuclear test-ban treaty. Russia placed before the 17-nation disarmament confer-

It provides for consultation when situations arise dangerous to the peace. The Western concession was a genuinely new offer designed to reach a compromise between the West’s view as to how many annual inspections are needed to enforce nuclear disarmament and the Soviet Union's Insist- ence that the number be lim- Ited to three.
