Federal Apporhonmenls

As previousxy noted, Veterans" Af- fairs Minister BroJks has said that the Atlantic Provinces will receive the highest federal assistance of any sec- tion of Canada in the pint Federal- Provmcial National Hospital Insur- ance Plan. Newfoundland is to receive the highest per capita grant—68 per cent of the Plan’s total cost. New Brunswick wtll receive 58 per cent, Nova Scotia 57 per cent and Prince Edward Island 56 pertcent.

This apportionment would seem to suggest that in the opinion of the ex-' perts, Newfoundland is the most dif- ficult Province from the standpoint' of administration and that this Prov Vince is the easiest, administratively, of the four. '

This bears out a contention which has been aired in these columns on seVeral occasions. It is, therefore, not easy to understand why no date has yet been set by our Provincial author- ities for implementationof the/Plan, , although it was generally; believed when the program was, first talked about that Jan. 1,’ 1959, would be the probable date. Seeing that Newfound- land, .with its thousands of miles of difficult coastline and large areas with no roads cf any kind, was ready to go ahead with the program last July 1, it would seem pot unreasonable , to expect this Province to be ready by

' the first of next year. ' .

We still do not believe, however,

"that the 56 per cent of total cost al-

lov'yed this Province is a fair appor- tionment. For, although administra- tion may be less difficult than in any of the other three Provinces, our re-

‘9 - V latively small population, with a con- " sequent‘highcr per capital cost, will to

some extentreduce that other advan-Y tage. ‘ I I ' «

In ‘a recent ‘hadiess,'*’m. A.“ D.

.Dunton, nery-appointed President of _ Carleton ‘ University» in Ottawa, 1, made a. point which often appears

to .be overlooked in discussions on educational nffairs. “‘I think it is

i right to say”," he ,‘ stated, “that

Canada Stands fourtsquare for free- dom of knowledge, for the principle

(that We will have none 7-Of this

totalitarian business of government deciding who should or should] not learn what. At the same time, I think we are falling down badly in the implementation of this freedom.”

It is clear that in Canada—in the 'Unit‘ed States, 'too, although

. probably to a lesser extent—there

are many students of outstanding ability and prOmise whose parents simply cannot afford to send them to university; and there is not much sense in talking about “intellectual freedom” as long as that situation exists. It is manifestly unfair that a student must forgo higher educa- tion simply because of lack of fin- ancial means. ’

,Dr. Dunton suggests a wider system of national scholarships. He, estimates that it would cost about

. ' another $75 million a year to make

freedom of knowledge a reality—— surely a small sum, considering the effect it would have. ‘

Mr. Dielenbaker’ln Asia

If Prime Minister Diefenbaker, on his tour of the Commonwealth, does nothing more than help to“convince Asiatics that the Western Alliance has no aggressive intentions, his. jour- ney will be worthwhile. There seems to be a suspicion, especially in India and Ceylon, that the West, partic- ularly the United States, is building up its strength to attack the Soviet Union and Communist China.

In his address before India’s Par- liament, Mr. Diefenbaker made the following points among others: “The

relationship between Canada and the "

United States is sometimes clouded by disagreements. But the important thing is that these differences are settled by negotiation In a spirit of good sense. The fact of Canada’s con- tinued independence side by side with her more powerful neighbor is proof that the United States has no aggres- sive intentions. Canada respects In- dia‘s decision to remain outside all Col- lective defence organizations. But

1

Canadians still believe in the need to strengthen peace through collective security. NATO is not an aggressive organization, but a pooling of strength between North America and Western Europe to deter aggression by others."

In the same speech, Mr. Diefen- baker upheld the Commonwealth as “crowning proof” that the traditional barriers of race, religion, language, geography and economlc interest need not divide one nation from another. He noted that it was pointless to speak of peace and freedom in Asia unless the economic needs of the peo— ple were met; and he pledged Can-- ada’s support for the economic . de- velopment plans of India and other Asian members of the Common- wealth.

The warmth with which Mr. Die- fenbaker is being received by the Gov- ernments and perle of Common- wealth countries is an indication of the respect that Canada has built up in these far-off lands. It is also‘a re- flection of the Prime Minister’s' evi“ dent sincerity and of the great con- tribution which he is making to Com— monwealth unity.‘

Salt Farming

A report from Chekka, Lebanon, tells of one of the ancient industries of that land. It is salt farming. Since the time of Christ, people alOng a narrow strip of the Med- iterranean have been scraping ' a living by farming salt from the sea. . “All along the. coastal road”, says the report, “there are tiny windmills that suck up sea water intc‘ stone slats where the water evaporates, leaving a residue of salt. After the sea water is pump- ed up into the 4—inch slats, it takes 15 days/for the water to evaporate. A slat will yield about 20 pounds of salt every 15 days. Then it is loaded into old sacks and carried off by a donkey to town fOr sale”. Prices are

of salt. ‘ . The greatest hindrance to work- ers are mosquitos “which zoom all

' oyer therplace”. The average oper-.

ator has about 40 slats, and he must work continually to mend walls, check the windmill and the water level and'shovel and sack the salt. .' The soles of. hisfect become as hard as leather after years of standing - in brine. : EDITORIAL NOTES

It is rumored that the Federal Government is considering excise tax increases. It is always a dangerous thing to do, politically; but then, of course, there will be plenty oftime to remove the added taxes before an- other election comes around. .‘ '

NEW ENTRY BROAD U.N. PROGRAM

Seven Assembly Committees

By Eclth Macqunrrie, MP.

Although one might not real- ise it from reading newspaper stories or listening to radio com- mentators, the United Nations deals with a great many more problems than the startling and sensational questions of high politics. The General Assembly now in session is carrying on its work in seven different commit- tees. The first one, called the Po- litical Committee, is dealing with disarmament, and its successes :are sometimes less than over - whelnung.

The Special Political Commit- tee has dealt with questions like apartheid in the Union of South Africa, peaceful use ’ of outer space and the Cyprus problem. All of these questions are given considerable publicity, but v e r y note is said abo'lit the activities in the other five committees of the General Assembly.

In the Seconl Committee, where Canada is nopresented by Dr. R. P. Vivian, M.P., important economic questions are consider- ed,‘ and the [past ‘prognamme of technich assistance to which Canada is a major contributor is mapped out. The importance of technical assistance to the econo- mically under - developed parts of the world can hardly be over emphasized.

In the Third Committee the re- presentatives of the 81 nations deal with a broad range of sub-. jocts concerning human rights

role of women in society, the freedoms of the press, and the place' of habeas corpus in the judical system. hese and a host judical system. These and a host of other important human prob- lems are constantly under dis- cussion and consideration. On

represented by Mrs. W. T. Hay- den of Halifax and Mr. Jean Morin of Montreal.

On the Fifth Committee, where Canada is by Mr. Jean Noel Tremblay, M.P., of Roberval , the emphasis is upon financial and budgetary matters. When one considers that the United Nations budget now stands at $150 million a year, it is not hard to realize the importance of this Committee. The great ex - penditure in keeping the head - quarters on the East River in efficient and constant operation is of itself significant, but beyond this are all‘the great and costly programmes carried out by th e

A. A. MEETINGS

Sin-JDn several occasions it has been my privilege and plea- sure to attend meetings in the Capitol Theatre on Sunday after- noons under the auspices of A.A., or Alcoholics Anonymous. The meeting last Sunday was very interesting and largely attended. showing the interest the public take in the welfare of our friends of A.A. There were several pre- sent from Springhill, who gave addresses, and spoke of their ex~ perien-ces as A.A.’s. Some of them told rather pathetic stories, but since becoming A.A.'s they had lived different lives. They all acknowledge that of themselves they are weaklings, but by the help of the Higher Power they can live sober and successful lives. It has been announced that an A.A. group from New Glasgow, NS. will be visiting the City at the hall over Reddin Bros. on Richmond Street on Saturday evening next, and the

United Nations’ for - flung or - (animation. _ I

Not only does the Fifth Com mittee givc'considera‘tion to ex- :pcnditure, but like all budgetary committees, it must take into ac- count the-raising of revenue, and the process of apportioning con- tributions is an involved one. The United States, for instance, contributes nearly 33 1-3 per cent of the total United Nations; budget, while the Soviet Union contributes something over Its per cent.

There was an interesting epi - sode in the Fifth, Committee not long ago when the British Re - preservative suggested that in the light of Mr. Krushchev's great boasting about Russia’: magnifi- cent financial‘ and economic de-’ velopment, the USSR. should underwrite a greater:er of the United Nations budget. Not surprisingly, the Soviet Delegate refused this invitation.

LEGAL PROBLEMS

On the Sixth Committee. Willem Canada is represented by Sem- tor G.S. Thorvmidson of Winni - peg, the emphasis is upon 1 gal matters. Questions involving '1)- lomatic immunity are very im - portmtt these days‘. What are the rights of a diplomat in a foreign capital? How far do these rights extend to the staff mem- bers, chauffeurs, guards and the like, who are employed by gov- ernments in foreign embassies?

These are some of the questions considered in the diplomatic field of law. This year much attention is being given to the law of the sea, and the recent fisheries dis- pute between Iceland and the United Kingdom has sharpened the emphasis upon this subject.

In the Fourth Committee, where I have the honour to re- present my country, the ques - lions under discussion concern the development, political, econo- mic and social of many millions of people in AErfica and the paci- fic who have not yet reached in- dependent status. After the first great war, many of Germany’s colonies were taken from her and put under League of Nations control, with one of the allied powers given fire task of admin— istering the territory with a view to bringing its people to indepen- dence under proper guidance, dir- ection and assistance.

After the Second War th ese mandates became trust territor—

is under discussion in the United Nations again. Although the Greek~Cypriot underground called a general strike and shooting con- tinues on Cyprus, the fact that there is some serious discussion going on has brought a lessening of tension. , Giv e n intransigent British, Greek and Turkish arguments about finding a solution, there might seem little that the UN could do. But the Situation has deteriorated so far that (this may be among the last hopes for find- ing peace in the colony.

It has become a cliche to say that Cyprus is strategically im- portant to Britain. She needs a base, this view puns, so that she can quickly deploy forces in the Middle East. This thesis has often been questioned and the British government sometimes sounds as though it would be delighted to clear out of Cyprus to free some of its troops and save money.

CHANCE LOST

To withdraw at this time, how- ever, would probably inme a civil and perhaps international war. Britain will have to stay until there is some semblance of peace. Unfortunately, the longer she stays, the farther away pcace

ion, and the United Nations rc- plnced the League of Nations as the body to whom the adminis- torina powers were responsible. Today there are ten trust ter- ritories, most of them in Africa. but by 1960 the number will be reduced by half.

In this present session of the General Assembly we have seen clear evidence that the adminis- tering powers have done good work in bringing the people of the trust territories to the thres- hold of autonomy and political freedom. The British and French Cameroons am to achieve their independence in 1960, as is Soma- lia under Italian administration, Western Samoa under New Zea- land administration, and that part of Togoland which is under French administration. When the new state of Ghana was formed two years ago, the Togoland ,ter- ritory under British administra- tion joined to form part of the new commonwealth nation.

0n of the most thrilling emper- iences in the Fourth Commimtee during this present thirteenth session came when Mr. Sylvanias Olympic, Prime Minister of Togo- land, took the seat of the French Delegate and spoke on behalf of ‘Frauce in the debate on the re- port of the Trusteeship Council. Mr. Olympic, a native of Togo— land, was elected by a free elec- tion which was supervised. by the Unit-ed Nations and is ob - viously a politician of great abil- ty and a man of much charm. He speaks fluently in French, ,Geynan and English, and seems destined to become an important leader in the rising continent of, Africa.

NEW VOICES HEARD

In the Fourth Committee on e sees most clearly the new and mergent face of the United Na- tions. Spokesmen for countries which have only recently entered the state of independence are an- xious to have their Voice heard and their problems considered. It is certain that in the years ahead the nations of Africa will play a greater role in world affairs, and those now in the United Na- tions will be joined by their fel- lows from other parts of that vast continent. Soon, for instance the mighty nation of Nigeria will move into place in this great in- ternational gathering. It is of the utmost importance that all of us ‘be aware of these changing de— velopments and that we make every effort to extend the hand of friendship and. understanding to these new peoples whose role in any future world will be far greater than that which they were allowed to exercise in the

less-happy days of the past.

Cyprus Problem Again

Rowntrec

Canadian Press staff Writer

Commentators in England be- lieve the government passed up one of its best chances of finding agreement early in October.

Greece then offered to abandon its demand for enosis—«union of Cyprus with Greece—in favor of independence for the island. The British didn't see this as being a significant change.

At “the United Nations, Greece is pleading for support of an in- dependent Cyprus. The British delegate said such A solution would be disastrous at present but he agreed it could be included in discussions. '

IRISH EXAMPLE

The Turks are suspicions that independence under Greek sponv sorship wouldn‘t be lasting and that the island would inevitably be annexed by a historic foe.

But at the moment there doesn‘t seem any other way out. Nobody but the Greeks would listen to enosis. Nobod; but the Turks would agree to partition of the island in the way that Ireland was divided. Prime Min- ister Harold Macmillan's partner- ship plan was rejected outright by the Greeks and hesitantly ac- cepted by the Turks —— perhaps because they thought they saw a hope of eventual partitionwtbut

lwith many reservations.

Three Newer Medical Aids

By Herman lN. Bundescn. M. I). A NW“ antibiotic which kills, germs resistant to older “won- der drugs." a tablet for use in controlling swelling and inflam— mation and a drug for treating senile psychoses are the develop. ments I want to discuss today in our monthly review of medicine. TREATS INFECTIONS

The antibiotic is kanamycin, or Kantre'x as it is called commer- cially. It has been found effec- tive in treating a long list of in- fections, including certain typos of pneumonia. kidney and bladder infections, infections of the blood stream. the heart, bones and soft tissues.

Investigators report that many persons treated suc ssfully with the new drug had been suffering from severe infections which old- er antibiotics failed to cure. HALTED EPIDEMIC Kanamycin first came to pub- lic attention late last Marc h, when it was used in an emer— gency to halt an epidemic of in- fant infections in a Houston. Tex, as, hospital. The drug has been undergoing tests by 50 clinical in. vestigators for many months. The drug tablet for use in con- troling swelling and inflammation and reducing pain and speeding the healing process is Buccal Varidase.

CONTROLS SWELLING

It is reported to be effoctivein treating swelling associated With b r u i s e s. bronchitis, abcesses, phlebitis, acne and other inflam- matory conditions.

The tablet is not swallowed. but allowed to Fissolve in the pa- tient’s m o u t h while held again- st the cheek (the buccal pouch); This permits the drug to be ab- sorbed into the body through the mucous membrane. .

While the drug has been on the

market for several years in in- jection form, this is the first time it is being made available: as a tablet. . SENILE PSYCHOSES

Use of Nicozol with Reserpine provides a highly effective treat- ment for senile psychoses, accord- ing to clinical and pharmacologi- cal studies. Many patients who would require institutional care can be managed at home with this new'tiherapy. .

The therapy relieves agitation, con-fusion, aggressiveness and restlessness. At the same time, it improves memory, behavior, sociability and even appearance and tidinesus. QUESTION AND ANSWER
