Fighi Against Disease

About the best thing that has come out of this fall’s meeting of-the U.N. General Assembly is a resolution call- ing for “a public health and medical research year, during which the bio- logical scientists of the world would plan a concerted drive against‘the ills of man.” '

The idea was first proposed by the delegation from Communist Ukraine. Not to be outdone, a number of non- Communist delegations brought for- ward certain amendments, which do

not, however, make any important

changes in the original proposal. The suggestion is said to be receiving wide support.

The resolution calls on the World Lllealth Organization “to arrange for suitable forms of international ex- changes and talks to encourage fur- ther practical steps to combat widely prevalent diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, smallpox, cholera, can- cer, cardio-vascular ailments, leprosy and poliomyelitis and to solve other health problems which still represent a serious threat to the health of the people.” It also asks for the spreading of knowledge about these diseases, organized research on their preven- tion and cure, exchange of informa- tion on the use. of atomic energy in emedicine, broad-scale public health education and help for underdevelop- ed countries with equipment, drugs, literature and specialists.

What iiobler program could there be? If the nations could only bring themselves to spend on medical re- search and the eradication of scourges' only s reasonable fraction of what they now spend on armaments and the development of new weapons, the value to the world would be beyond computation. It would be I. great con- tribution to peace, too.

Time's Revenges The following incident, taken from I. biographiCal Sketch in thd‘Milwan- kee Journal, provides an interesting footnote to political history in the neighboring Republic.

Almost exactly half a century ago, a. few days before the 1908 presi- dential election, one of the most hated men in America announced that he would vote for the Republican candi- date, William Howard Taft. The state- ment was greeted with a. roar of de-'

of rage from the Republicans. Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate, gleefully pointed out the sort of man Taft must be to gain such wicked support. Taft retorted that he hadn’t asked for the man's aid and wouldn’t accept it. .Teddy Roosevelt angrily pronounced the whole thing a “perfectlv palpable and obvious trick” to undercut Taft’s chances.

Why all the uproar? Because the man who made the announcement was John D. Rockefeller. founder of the

huge Standard Oil trust and one of ‘

the richest men—if not the richest— in America. To millions of citizeni he was considered the essence of greed, robbery and economic oppres- sion. Editorial cartoonists portrayed him as a bloated spider, a repulsive octopus, an icy-eyed villian with gold

., running through his veins.

And yet-—a few days ago—John D.’s multimillionaire grandson, Nel- son A. Rockefeller, was elected gov- ernor of New York by a whopping margin of more than half a million Votes over Governor Averell Harri- man, and automatically became a top

Jacandidate for the Republican presi_

dential nomination in 1960. A Rocke- feller in the White House! “Your grandfather,” says the Journal writ er, “would have laughed himself hoarse if he'd heard that prediction 50 years ago.” For that was the gold- en age of the muckrakers—the Ida Tarbells and Lincoln Steffenses and Upton Sinclairs who exposed the ugly machinations of big business and the evils of the monopolies to the hor-

rified gaze of the public. Of all the ‘

“iiialefactors of great wealth,” as Teddy Roosevelt called them, Rocke- feller received the greatest abuse. Old Bob La Follette pulled out all llw stops in a tirade in 190-”): “Tread .SEszlei‘day,” he said, “that Rockefeller has been to prayer meeting again. Tomorrow he will be giving to some

'mind” became

college or university. Fla gives with two hands. but he robs with many. if I19. should live to a thousand years. he could not expiate the crimes he has committed. There is only one way—eternity the time; and as to the place, you can guess that! He is the greatest criminal of the age.”

Actually, according to his biograph- er, Rockefeller’s business practices were no worse—and often much more ethical—that those of the other ty- coons in that free wheeling age. And as time passed, there was a mellow- ing of public opinion about the frail, wizened man with the parchment skin. He died at 98, having distrib- uted 550 million dollars in bene- factions in his lifetime. His estate, the country was surprised to learn, amounted to a mere $26,410,000, most of it in U.S. treasury notes. He had retained only the slimmest ties to the company that had made him an incredible fortune and fantastic ,re- putation. At death he owned just one share of Standard Oil common/stock.

If the old man could have lived to see his grandson’s triumph at the polls, one wonders how he would react. Never one to waste words on the vagaries of public .opinion, he probably would dismiSs the matter with a. grim smile.

News arrives frequently of new British achievements in the field of electronic computers. But one thing they‘ have not been able to do fault~ lessly yet iis language translation.

Experts‘met in London to discuss this problem—and the oddities pro- duced by the electronic brain’s efforts at translation.

The phase “out of sight, out of “invisible idiot," “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” came out “the drink is toler- able but the meat is uncooked,” “give the imagination rein, the possibili— ties are endless”, turned up as "let the imagination get wet, it has no tail . . .” ' i

EDITORIAL NOTES

The UN: General Assembly’s poli- tical committee is tackling the ques- tion of demiiitarizing outer space. Considering the little success they have had in dealing with matters ter- restrial, there is little likelihood of

‘their achieving much in the far, un-

familiar reaches.

. O O I ‘ General W.H.S. .Macklin, former Adjutant-General of the Canadian

Army, says that the R.C.A.F. “will '

soon ‘wield no more power than a flock of common barnyard hens.” The situation can hardly bass bad as that. Nevertheless, when high rank- ing and experienced military men consistently find fault with the court‘- try’s defence system, surely there is need for a careful re-examination of the whole structure. I ‘ I i i

What strange force is it that com- pels a. young man with a good position and a promising future make off with large sums of money belonging to his firm, just . for the satisfaction of spending a few days in luxurious rev- elry? The say nothing of the moral aspect of the case, he must know that there is no possibility of his getting away Vwith it for long.

The C.N.R. ferry “William Car- son" was obliged to spend last week- end at anchor outside Port Aux Basques. The reason given was “high seas and heavy rains.” The “high seas” part of it can be understood; but this must be the first time that “heavy rains” had anything to do with keeping a ship from making port. ,

Congratulations to Archie Mac- Aulay, of St. Peter’s Bay, who main- tained the reputation of P.E.I. seed potatoes by winning the reserve championship at the Royal Winter Fair. The international award went to an Ontario grower. Canadians also took world championships in wheat, oats, barley, soybeans and forage crop seeds—proving, if proof were needed that this is, par excellence, an

agricultural country. |

A toWn cohncilldr in Amherst com- plains that nothing is being done to restore the burned-out Winter Fair Building. He blames the Maritime Stock Breeders Association for the delay. Whoever is properly to blame, it‘ is unfortunate that the Winter Fair is not to be held this year. If all concerned had cooperated in mak- ing temporary arrangements, th e event would not have been cancelled. A number of towns and cities offered the use of their facilities, but Fair officials did not appear to be interest- ed.

Disagreement Ai Geneva

By Lloyd MacDonald Canadian Press Staff Writer

Western diplomats at the United Nations are wondering whether the Russians are in- terested more in words than deeds at the separate big three

~ disarmament conferences in Gen-

eva.

The Geneva talks now have been under way for almost two weeks in the field of nuclear test suspension, and since Nov. 10 'a separate discussion has dealt with technical means of prevent- ing surprise attacks on any world power. '

One factor that has caused not only doubt but possibly confusion river the Geneva discussions has been the separation of these is- sues, which fall generally into an over-all disarmament picture.

DIFFERENT APPROACH

The Western posiiliion clung to solidly by Britain and the United States with the backing of most other Allied powers —- with the notable exception of Finance—has been that any agreement on dis— armament issues under scrutiny at Geneva should be treated as an approach to an over-all solu- tion of the longstanding problem of reducing the world's wail-mak- ling capacity.

Russia, on the other hand. wants certain phases of agree-

.ment dealt with as separate is- sues-«and from this position has resulted the oftenupuzzling meet- ing lineup at Geneva. PROPAGANDA MEDIUM

Why, ask the Western-minded groups, should two sets of meet- ings be necessary when the prin- ciple of defence against surprise attack is obviously only one facet of the whole nuclear testing is- sue? Nuclear tests themselves, in this view, could be construed by either side as a preliminary to a surprise invasion by the other.

But for purposes of their own

PUBLIC FORUM

This column is open to the discus

sion by correspOndents of question c.

interest. The. Guardian does not new:

eerily endorse the opinion of cones pondents.

LIBERAL MEMBERS PRAISE!)

Sir,~—l was at the ,Liberal meeting in O'Leary last week. and a fine big meeting it. was. When you read what is going on in other Provinces, and in the United States, and in Ottawa, it makes one feel well satisfied with RF). Island Liberals. We have a smart leader, you can see that, and we should tell the people about it. It is the men that make the Government. The two men we have in the West end here, are a team that are hand to beat, and they pull good together. So Liberals do not break this team. Let them keep up the good work they are doing. No two men in the Province could do better for us. They are both quiet, sober, hard-working Members. They fly no flags to say “here we come,” but they are on the, job all the time day and night. I see them. They will not fool us with promises they will not carry out. ‘

You could see at lfhe meeting how well they get along together when Mr. Ramsay thanked the Premier for giving his panther a

place in the Government. He said it would hold the dis- trict, and give the French

people a man to represent them. I ask the Liberals to leave Mr. Ramsay‘s man with him this time anyway. The young fellows can come later on. We will need them then. and we will help them then. They can learn the work by working with the men we have. Mr. Arsenaull may not want to stay many years, and we will need a man to follow him.

Look, Liberals. they got built, at the electric lights, and the hospital grants. By the papers they are getting more, than any part of the Is» land. The only thing that could be said about the 2nd and lst districts, is they did not get any good pavement for some time.

at the roads

the Moscow leaders have insisted on the separate sets of center— ences in the Swiss city—«and in both cases have been using the big three Forum as a means of aiming propaganda at the un» committed countries who feel there is a danger in the nuclear test situation itself, if it is al- lowed to continue.

For a time, British and Ameri- can circles were cheered by the fact that Russia‘s Fliirst Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily Kuznct sov was taking over as his coun try's Geneva delegation head. This seemed to reflect the im- portance Russia was placing in the. talks, which began after the UN tacitly dropped debate on dis- armament to give these discus- sions a chance for fulfilment without the distraction of heated statements in the General As- sembly.

FRANCE ANNOYED

Kuznetsov, however, has take-n a propaganda approach at Gen~ eva. Even though the meetings themselves have been closed—to allow private agreements to be workd outathe Soviet delegate in outside interviews has pursued the Moscow separatist line and perhaps has contributed as much as any other factor to the current

deadlock there.

Russia is making capital also of the virtual French boycott of the Geneva session, since France is one of the three big Western powers and as such would be welcomed as a participant, But France apparently is annoyed at the Anglo - American contention that. no powers beyond them- selves and Russia should go into production of atomic weapons. and Premier de Gaulle’s govern- ment is believed on the point of announcing succassfu-l prod ion of its own nuclear bomb.

One explanation offered for Russia's attitude at Geneva came this week from a Western diplo- met at the UN familiar with both British and U.S. This source expressed the belief that Russia sincerely believes the two major Western powers are trying to slip over a control and! iinspece tion program, under which for— eign agents would be able to in- filtrate the Soviet Union, without the slightest intention of offering in return a guarantee of the end- ing of nuclear testing for all time.

So fair the U.S. and Britain are standing on their limited one- year suspension offer—«at least until the! Geneva talks and, as is the fear now, in disagreement. The current Russian attitude as seen tram the UN makes that. unfortunately, almost a fomgone conclusion.

Judith Robinson in the Toronto Telegram

“Can an instaneaneous cube exist?” asked H. G. Wells's tivme-tnaveller. And in those far off. comfortably common—sense days he could ask the question in the certain knowledge that his friend would answer “No,” and thus let him get on with his theory of the fourth dimension and how men could travel back and forth in it. But had he jump— ed aboard his time machine, swept forward into 1958 and, having introduced himself to Dr. Peter A. Castiruccrio, asked him his famous question, he might have got a less dogmatic and more disconcerting answer.

Dr. Oastruocio is the research director of an “astronautic in- stitute" which has recently been set up by one of the great elec- trical oonponations in the United States. Dr. C’aSlIT‘llCCIO is not par- ticularly interested in cubes; he is interested in long distance communication, and he is by no means captain that an instantan- eous long-distance call is an im- possibility. Such calls, he thinks, might be arnanged by combining the conventional electrical com- munication system with the, as yet, unconventional powers of mental telepathy.

MODERN WONDERS

The wondens already perform» ed by modern science have tend- ed to make most of us a little chary of saying, when we hear of some proposed new wonder.

But Mr. MacKay who has charge of all the roads, explained that satisfactorily at the meeting. He said he had to build the Trans Canada roads first, as the Lib- enal Government in Ottawa then was paying from 50 to 90 per- cent of the cost, and for that reason we had to wait until now. O‘Leary town is paved, St. Louis is paved, Tignish is paved. but more to come we hope. And I am told today they are paving Alberton now. Were so many people ever so pleased before in Prince? St. Louis people were smart with their resolutions. to thank the Members for the pave- ment and the lights. You heard what one of the members said about the resolution? Tigniish should thank the Members too. and perhaps we will be told of good things to come also. We had good help from our Mem- bers when we called them about our problems, and they were not long coming to see us, and to win us. Let us not fail to show lll‘lll ll()\\' we appreciate their loop interest in us and in our ’O\\'n. I am, Sir, etc. LLBERAL l‘igiiisli, l’.E.l.

“It can’t be done.” Too many unimaginamive critics in the past half-century or so have been forced to eat those words. They are the spoil-sport words with which the world’s gloom mong— ers and discouragers have hung anticipatory crepe above the splendid arch of human progress, and We would not wish to join them in their sneering, ghoulish pastime.

Evenso, and while wishing Dr. Oastruocio all success, it has to be admitted that the mind. or some minds anyway, will bogigle at the idea of an instantaneous telegram. mental or otherwise.

The speed of light. as every schoolboy has been told, is some- thing in the neighborhood of 186.- 000 miles a second. This, accord- ing to Einstein, whose calculatw ions very few of us are able to contest. is the ultimate and ab solute speed limit -— and a very liberal speed limit it would seem to be. But compared to what Dr. Cashruiecio has in mind it is hardly more than standing still. SPEED OF LIGHT

Light may flash around the earth in the time it takes to dot an i. The point is, though, that it does in tact take time. It takes about eight minutes, for ex- ample, bo travel from ilhe sun and 300 yeans or so he reach here from the Pleiades. But the sort of telepathic-electronic message Dr. Oastruccio hopes to send would, if it raced a ray of light from the Pleiades to earth. reach here in nothing flat: it

would arrive at. precisely the same instant that it left. I . Ilt becomes obvious at once

that llhe sort of world with which Dr. Oastruecio is trying to link up his telephone is a world be- yond our ken. It. is a world in which such terms as “space,” “time.” “travel,” “start” and “finish” have no meaning; ’in which instantaneous cubes are just as likely to exist as not, and up and down and here and there are telescoped in one all- embracing now.

There is. of course, no reason why we should think that the universe is quite as simple as our particular five senses make it out to be.

The sinuses, you must under- stand, are the air spaces in the bones of the head and face and are connected by small open- with the nose. It's easy to see how any infection in the nose can spread rapidly to the sinuses.

The air spaces which most commonly become infected are those in the cheek bones below the eyes, those between and be- hind the eyes and those above the eyes.

HEAT MAY HELP

Sometimes the pain can be relieved by applying a hot water bag or hot compresses over the inflammation. Or an electric heating pad could be used in- stead. But these methods won't cure the infection.

Your doctor has a number of drugs to relieve the pain. shrink the swollen membranes and clear up the infection. Let me

try to dash cold water on Dr. Castrucci’c hopes, or to wish him anything but good success in his attempts to break the bonds of space and time. But one need not be a spoil-sport to point out that the world he tunes in when he picks up his receiver, if he does succeed, will be a world that, for some of us at any rate, with take some getting used to.
