’ Another Big Week

"i "‘Time." one of Shakes— peare's characters. “is like a fash— ionable host that slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand, and with his arms outstretch'd, as he would fly, grasps in the comer: wel- come ever smiles. and farewell goes out sighing." Words tinged with sadness. or is it cynicism?

‘Let us hasten. in any case. to say that there was no sighing at the wind-up of the big Dominion Drama Festival here on Saturday night. The warmth of welcome which the participants found on their arrival in -.(lhal'lot.tet0\\'ii retained its glow to‘the end. and was reciprocated by our visitors in a gratifying manner. Nor was there anything perfunctory about the. handshaking at parting. or the cordiality of the invitation to our guests to come again.

But we are. like Shakespeare’s Father Time in this respect, that our. arms will be outstretched to newcomers all through this season of gala centennial shindigs; and it is our pleasure this week to wel- come the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade. now in session at the Charlottetown Hotel. and the Can- adian Centenary Council which meets here this morning for an im- portant. three-day conference.

Trade Board activities are close- 1y associated with those of the Marl- time Transportation Commission, and we do not need to be reminded of the importance of both these or—

. ganizations in advancing the inter- . l ests of our Maritime businessmen, shippers and others. There is also, as Board president Captain Hunter pointed out yesterday, a close in- tegration and liaison between this body and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, with resultant valuable assistance to the Maritime organiz- ation.

The Canadian Centenary Council has been organized, on a voluntary basis, to promote national participa- tion in the 1967 Centennial; and we can assure its distinguished mem- bers—modestly—-—that they have come to the right place. Perhaps they will get a “few helpful ideas from the activities of our own Cen- tennial Committee. and the cele- brations now in progress here. Cer- "tainly they cannot fail to be inspir- ed by the scope of the vision em- bodied in our Confederation Fath- ers Memorial Building.

We call it ours in a special sense, fa! we are its proud custodians. But of course it is a possession of all Canadians. A shrine of the Canada 5 to be, as well as a memorial to the past. An embodiment of our na— l tiofil'epirit, an inspiration to our hopes. But why tell the

' " ry Council what it is about? .We expect them to ‘Je shedding new light on its meaning for all of us, before their conference ends. Mean- our arms are ouatretched very for them in the traditional wel-

1' Winnipeg Free Preee Ia us- Prime Minister Pear- aupportera on pol- Mone. But it finde little shunted ta tun decision m force upon Canadians at ’ '~ Mont! unity and bar-

says

u an unnecessarily risky and per- Iloua act.

The Winnipeg paper appears to share this view; but it goes on to say that. having allowed the flag issue to reach its present state of friction it might now be equally divisive for Mr. Pearson to attempt to negotiate a retreat from the pos- ition he has taken—a retreat which could arouse even deeper antagon- ism against the ensign which has served this country as a distinc- tive national symbol for many years.

This is the situation that has been forced upon those who by per- sonal preference and out of respect for traditions would wish to retain the flag. They are presented with an ultimatum which obliges them to surrender their position in the interests of national harmony.

It is doubtful whether such harmony will be attained, but it is at least equally doubtful whether debating the issue under pressure of a deadline produced in the thick of a political campaign would ach- ieve any better results. This is the reason why Parliament will likely support the Prime Minister in his project. And once the proposal is accepted by Parliament. the sen- sible thing for every one is to ac- cept the decision, however much they would like to have things left unchanged.

But acceptance Is one thing: ap- proval of the manner in which the acceptance was brought about is another. Mr. Pearson would do well to remember this. There are a good many Canadian voters who are unlikely to forget it.

Moving Scotland Yard

From London comes word that Scotland Yard. famed headquarters of Britain's crime—busters. is to be shifted from its present historic site in Whitehall to a new building near Westminster Abbey. But the news is bringing small comfort to Britain‘s underworld. The grand old institution is planning to function more efficiently than ever.

Officially Scotland Yard is the headquarters of the metropolitan police, covering the London area, but its criminologists and scientific nnticrime resources are also avail- able for police in other parts of the country. Its detectives are regular- ly called in to take over tough cases, particularly murders, outside the capital. As the volume of work grew. it became obvious that the old cramped buildings were no longer up to requirements.

The Yard's newest department is the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, which is spearheading a drive against increasing crime, and keeps a detailed check on major criminals in Britain and overseas. Its legend- ary ghost squad has the job of in- filtrating into the underworld and mixing with criminals of all kinds. And one of Britain’s most success- ful mobile crime fighting units—the flying squad—last year had its num- bers increased by almost a quarter. Then there is The Yard’s fraud squad, which is familiar to all known confidence men, at home and abroad.

We had often wondered what The Yard had to do with Scotland.

. It seems that it was housed first in

a turreted baronial-style building, originating with the ancient kings and queens of Scotland, who lodged on the site when visiting London. The ground was called “Scotland” and declared a. part of Scotland and the possession of Scottish sover- eigns. Later it was exchanged by the kings of England for various properties and eventually became part of the royal palace of White- hall.

BRITISH COMMENTARY Britain And The Cyprus Problem

By Elizabeth Barker

United Kingdom Information Service

The tragic and dangerous tur-, moil in Cyprus has caused great ‘ distress in many countries. and it has come as a specially pain- l ful shock for Britain. Only little over three years have passed since Britain gave inde- pendence to Cyprus. as to so many other territories former-i ly under British control.

It was then the universal hope that the Greeks and the Turks on the island would be able to live and work together in peace and friendship under a consti- tution Io which all the parties had agreed. and it was hoped that never again would Brilishl soldiers have to intervene on the l

Now this has become necess- l ary again but in completely dif- l ferent circumstances. l

The antagonism and mistrust 1 between the two communitiesl in Cyprus had very deep roots. l But the real difficulties did not l come until. in t e 1950's. the Greek Cypriot demand for En- osis. or union with Greece. i alarmed and angered the TurkJ ish Cypriots and aroused Tur-l 'ey. For Britain. It was not a sim~ pie question of decolonization or even of retaining some form of defence base on the island. soon became a problem of find- ing some means by which the i two communities could live Io—l gether without bloodshed. and.l if possible, without undergoing' a partition of the island. which. ‘ because of the intermingling of Greek and Turkish Cypriots. es- pecially in the towns. would have caused a great deal of hu- man suffering and upheaval.

Moreover. Britain had seek a method of freeing her- self of the burden of the Cyprus 3 problem without risking a war between her two friends and al- lies. Greece and Turkey.

RAY 0F HOPE

The finst ray of hope. in this 7 dark situation, came from a move towards conciliation be» tween the Greek and Turkish governments. This led to the . Zurich Agreement . w hic h. ‘ though greeted without much enthusiasm by the Cypriots themselves, laid the basis for i the later London and Cyprus ne- gotiations of 1959 and 1960‘ i which the Cyprus Government‘ and the Governments of Bri- tain. Greece, Turkey. the Greek Cypriot leader. Archbishop Ma- ‘ karlos, and the Turkleh Cypriot leader, Dr. Kutchuk. all took? part.

The eventual agreements re-i eulted from very long and hard bargaining. and were greatly helped by the gandwill of Greece and Turkey and the patiencei and self-restraint of They represented a carefully; balanced compromise. In which, all partles made certain concea- j alone. The G vernment. and the Greek Cyprlots renoun~ .’ ced the idea of Enoala In return i for independence for Cyprus. ‘

The Turkish Cypriots re , bounced the idea of partition In I return for guarantees, built Into the constitution and the accom- panying treaties, that their rights as a community would be

Paralysis Of The Face

E. G. writes: “Can Bell's palsy strike anywhere except the face?" The answer Is no.

Dr. Charles Bell was the first to describe this particular type of paralysis Involving the mus- cle: on one side of the face. Other palsies have been given the name of the physlclan who wrote about them originally. Examples are Erb's palsy. which affects an arm, and
