Bomber Threat Remains

It is logical that President Ken- nedy should insist. as he is doing, on the Soviet Union pulling its jet bombers as well as its missiles out of Cuba. There seems to be a hitch in the arrangements here. US. authorities appear satisfied that all known Russian missiles of offensive power are being shipped home, though there is concern that nuc- lear warheads—if any are in Cuba ——could be detected only by on-site inspectors with freedom to explore all possible hiding places. There is still more concern, however, that 30 to 40 bombers—most of them in the crates in which they arrived—are still at Cuban airfields.

The Russians say they were pur- chased by Cuba, and thus were not removed with the Russian missiles. But in his original grave warning to Russia on October 22, President Kennedy cited “jet bombers, cap- able of carrying nuclear weapons” as part of the arms threat Cuba posed. His demand that Russian offensive arms be withdrawn thus clearly included the planes, and sub- sequent exchanges with Mr. Khrush- chev contained repeated reference to “offensive weapons.” not only missiles.

The bombers are. minimized by the Russians as being “obsolete” and not “offensive” With a range of 750 miles, however, the planes could give Cuba striking power to reach the Panama Canal and much of Central America. This is the point at issue. The United States is expected to continue its naval block- ade of Cuba until the bombers are removed; and in view of its commit- ments on the subject, and the in- dorsation its blockade policy has received from the Organization of American States whose chief con- cern is protection against Cuban offensive weapons of any kind, there is no room for compromise.

Mr. Nixon's Deteat Commenting on Mr. Nixon’s de- feat in the California governship race last week, a New York Times correspondent says the former Re- publican Vice-President fell between two stools. Faced with the dilemma of trying to project a state-level “image” and sacrificing his national lustre, or of playing up his national stature at the risk of appearing condescending toward state affairs, he oscillated between the two throughout the campaign, to the detriment of whatever advantage might have been d e riv e d from either. . . Finally, in strategic desperation, he resorted to the pattern that his closest adviser, Murray Chotiner, Los Angeles lawyer, had applied ef- fictively In his original Congres- slum] contest in 1946, in the 1950 Senatecontest and even in the Vice- P’reeidential campaigns of 1952 and 1956—the menace of Communism, and alleged connections between it and histopponents.

districts. Two other society mem- bers—a Republican in Los Angeles and another in Texas—were defeat- ed by Democratic incumbents.

As for Mr. Nixon. says The Times writer, “perhaps the most re- markable aspect of the campaign was the matter-of-fact way in which his defeat was taken by both Demo- crats and Republicans. The post- election atmosphere seemed to im- ply a sort of fatalistic, if belated. feeling that the career that had soared rocket-like from its 1946 take-off was foredoomed to an even faster descent, and now it had come."

Another Setback

Britain‘s decision to conduct an- other nuclear test in the United States concerns only the testing, underground, of a low-yield device connected with the development of a nuclear trigger mechanism. It is emphasized as being in no senselthe start of a new test series. Neverthe- less. it is unfortunate that the an- nouncement should come at this time. It throws another obstacle in the way of negotiating a test-ban treaty, and it may be just the kind of obstacle the Soviet Union is look- ing for.

Last week the United States completed its Pacific test series and President Kennedy announced that his proposal of last March for a ban on all atmospheric. space and under- water tests still stood. Russia is scheduled to wind up its current Arctic test series on Nov. 20. And, at the United Nations last week, a resolution sponsored by C a na da and the neutral powers calling for a cessation of all tests after January 1 passed, 75 to 0. Although all the nuclear powersl abstained in the vote, the Assembly’s unopposed mo- tion was hailed with relief through- out the world.

This, it was felt, would give time for the 17-power Disarmament Com~ mittee. which recessed for the As- sembly debate. to start work again in Geneva on both nuclear tests and the Soviet proposal for “general and complete disarmament.” But the decision of the British government to go ahead with another nuclear test has already been seized upon by Moscow as “jeopardizing the chances” of successfully negotiating any treaty. It takes no prophet, therefore, to foresee what line the Russians will take when they get to the conference table later this month.

Barred Again

At the opening of the 12th bien- nial general conference of the United Nations Educational, Scien- tific‘and Cultural Organization in Paris the other day, another attempt to gain admission for Communist China to the 112-member body was defeated. this time by a vote of 48 to 33, with 17 abstentions. The fourteen other member countries. were not present for the voting.

We have given up trying to understand what the organization hopes to gain by persistently ignor- ing the existence of the most popu- lous nation on earth. But we note, once again, that the delegation from India was prominent among the sup- porters of the effort to seat Com- munist China. India voted this way as it has always done, regard- less of what is happening on its Himalayan border. A spokesman for the delegation declared: ’

“Despite the emergency in my country of the premeditated and overt aggression of China, the prin- ciples for which we stand remain valid. It is necessary to make this country accept the obligations that stem from membership in inter- national organizations. It is the best way of fighting against Commun- ist militarism.”

What did the opposing delegates say to this? It is not recorded in the press report that we have seen. Probably they just let it pass. in What was there, after all, to say, that would make any sense?

EDITORIAL NOTE

The big question in today's Quebec elections is how those who voted for Social Credit in the fed- eral election of June 18 will vote this time. Social Credit is not con- testing the provincial election. and there have been rumors of a “deal” between the party and the opposit- ion Union Nationale. which could create trouble for Premier Lesage’s Liberals.

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson A Week-end Tour To South Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan is certainly a dam", in the view of a visiting group of Members of Parliament from other pro- vinces, and representing all po- litical parties.

Twelve M.Ps. from constitu- encies spread across Canada, were accompanied by four M.Ps from Saskatchewan, on a flying week-0nd tour from Ot- tawa, to inspect the South Saskatchewan Dam and to visit the “Friendly City“ of Moose Jaw. They were invited to at tend the annual dinner meeting of the Saskatchewan River De-

“The trip, and what we saw. Impressed me immensely with the national unity of Canada," Mr. Bert Leboe, Social Credit MP. for the Cariboo, B.C., said to me. "The dam will make an enormous difference to wash central Saskatchewan, facilitat- Ing agriculture and providing recreational amenities. Its the biggest project now under con- struction in Canada, and 0 course costs a lot of money. but imaginative great develop- ments like that represent mon- ey wisely spent.

The four-party group of par- liamentarians were obviously Impressed by the magnitude of this development. when they heard the on~site description of the man-made lake 137 mile long and with a shoreline of 475 miles. Several me , having seen the project and the terrain, they did not agree with the judgment of former Liberal governments that “Saskatche- wan is not worth a dam”.

The Boy Scouts of the First Charlottetown Troop entertain- ed over sixty of their friends at a delightful masquerade pa at their hall on Richmond Street on Nov. 1. The prizes for best costumes went to Camille Pet- ers as “colonial Lady" an Michael Kelly as "G e o r g e Washington".

before. Her womanly eye t quickly spotted the great con-

trast between the immense flat plains and her own tiny mant- curcd province.

“They have very lovely farms on the prairies," she remarked. “And I never saw so much farm machinery. At one farm we visited there was ‘so much machinery and equipment that I thought we had come to a dealer’s yard."

The huge wheat farms scat- ter the homes very much furth- er apart than on the small me- ed farms of P.E.I.. Mrs. Mac- donald noted. They must find life very lonely on the big emp- ty prairies. she thought.

Even in her brief visit, Mrs. MacDonald found several Prince Edward Islanders happily and prosperously settled in Saskat- chewan: t e Yeos from Prince County: Mr. Kennedy from Murray Harbour: Mr. Mathe- son who is active in the Board of Trade and the Legion: the Macleans and Mrs. Macpherson she recalled.

P.E.I. AND BC LUSH

A visitor from a riding far re- moved from P.E.l.. . t which shares with that Island Province

the freedom from the need for artificial irrigation, was David Pugh from Oliver. 3.0. This M.P. from the lush Okanagan Valley was “le impressed by the South Saskatchewan dam: not only by the dam itself but by its secondary benefits in offering alternative land use, water supply for large commu- nities, and recreational possibil- l les."

While all the visiting M.Ps came to appreciate the full sig- nificance and value of the n e w

am. many 0 them were also amazed by what they saw on their first visit to Moose Jaw's $4,000,000 technical institute now under construction. thanks to federal government aid f o r three - qua rs of its cost. “They were all astonished by the size of it." Ernie Pascoe. the MP. for Moose Jaw

The final treat for the visiting parliamentarians was a tasty lunch at the farm of Tim Coopv er at Hawarden. And “thank you", the guests gave Mrs. Cooper 3 gift of an attrac- tive cut-glass vase. graciously presented on their behalf by Mrs. Margaret Macdonald.

After almost a year of un- comfortable peace. the Congo appears to be rolling inexorably toward a new crisis point.

For 2V2 years Moise Tshombe

has resisted presurc from the United Nations and the central government to bring his rich Katanga province back into the Congo. Now time Is running out. for the UN, and acting Secretary- General U Thant faces the choice of taking decisive action against Tshombc or pulling the UN force out with Tshomhe still In control of Katanga.

Thant has set an unofficial deadline of Thursday for some move by Tshombe towards ac- ceptance of a UN reunification plan. UN {cure report that Thant as threatened to take action against the Katan- gan regime if no progress Is made.

CASH RUNS OUT

How long the UN can stay In the Congo Is not known. Some reports have predicted a pullout as early as February. The $200,000,000 bond issue floated by the UN has staved off Im- mediate crisis,but much of the money has already been spent.

In addition. some of the na- tions contributing to the 15,000- man UN force are reported an- xious to see the operation wound up. India In particular, contributing about a third of the force, needs Its troops at home to face the Communist Chinese

This approach appeared to have a fair chance of success, since Thant has consistently op- posed use of force against Ka-

tanga. Some Western countries, .

led by Belgium and Britain, ave argued against either orce or economic boycott.

But a new factor was Intro-

duced by UN charges that Ka- tangan planes raided northern parts of the province ,held by central government troops dur- Ing the weekend. Thi d to be an open Katangan Invitation for a show- down, a development that the central government al- most certainly welcome. But the Katanga government flatly denied the charges and said the UN was “looking for an excuse to start a military action again."

Tshombe Is much more ready for a showdown now than he was In earlier clashes In Sep- tember and December of last

year.

Th UN can use to maIn- taln a strong force In the Re- fangan capital of EIIsabethvilIe. But clearly the regime cannot now be brought to submission without a major operation.

New Telescope

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dcllen

A SWEDISH thoracic aur- geon, Dr. Torsten SIlander. In- vented a small telescope to view the inside of the uterus. It Is a narrow tube with a magni- fying lens on one end a light on the other. But It dif- fers from the ordinary scope in two ways. ‘

The viewing end contains 9 syringe that forces a clear aa- llne solution into a transparent rubber balloon, which Is ’attach- ed to the other end. The bal- loon. when distended. conforms

e inner contoursof the ul- erine wall. The examiner is able to see ulcers and tumors, including soft growths, that pro- ject from the wall even though they are viewed from the inside of the balloon. This Is possible because the telescope can be rotated in all directions while attached to its crystal clear chathyphere.

Dr. Silauder used a modified version of the scope for inspect- Ing the inside of the heart and blood vessels. But the instru- ment has been more helpful in diagposlng Infra-uterine condi- tions. The appearance and ex- act location of these tumors help the physician decIde whe- ther radium or surgery will bring about cure. '

A Medical Tribune reporter asked the physician whether he was able to photograph the In- side of the uterus with the hys- teroscope. He said “not yet. be- cause we have not found flash- light equipment tiny enough to fit Into the endoscope."

A new 10 minute card test for syphilis was reported sev- eral months ago to the World Forum on Sypilis. It Is called the Rapid Plasma Regin (RPR). A small drop of blood Is placed on a‘ card impregnat- ed witb a special solution. The reaction Is positive when the blood sample produces an even, light-gray color of the card. The tests have been used on m o r e than 2,400 patients by Joseph Portnoy, Ph. D., assistant chief of the venereal disease branch, communicable disease center.

Surgery Is done to give re- lief and not to cause death. I assume the operation was re- commended in this case because cirrhosis is causing distressing symptoms. One surgical proce- dure is performed occasionally to prevent fluid from accumu- lating in the abdomen. It d o e s not cure cirrhosis but gives i‘e- lief and often prolongs the life of the individual.
