' SATURDAY. NOV. 1). 1955

Overdone Speculation The opinion of External Affairs Minister Peacson-"for what it is worth", to quote his own words-is that Russia is not planning aggres- sive war against the West. In this, the minister may be right. However. the argument he used in support of his opinion is a dubious one at best. He said: "They are no more anxious to commit suicide than anybody else". This is the familiar anti-war cliche that has been in use for a thousand years without exercising any noticeable benign influence on the bellicosity of aggressive powers. No country has ever started a war in fear and trembling. On the con- trary, each aggresor in his turn hasl-expected to overwhelm his in- tended victims in short order. The Kaiser had that in mind in 1914, Hitler in 1939, Tojo in 1941. If and when the Russians march against the West it will be because they have every confidence of winning the war; the prospect of suicide will probably not even be considered. As a matter of fact-and there is no use in minimizing it-the pre- ponderance of military strength in everything but nuclear weapons is at the moment decidely on the So- viet side. This is no secret; time and time again Western military leaders have drawn attention to if. in the nuclear field no one appears to be quite sure where the , superiority lies; the guess of most experts in the field-but only a guess-is that it lies with the West. If this be the case, and if the Russians believe it to be the case, it might, conceivably, persuade the men of the Kremlin that aggrealve war would mean national suicide. On the other hand. it might not. It is possible that the Russians are counting on the uni- versal horror of atomic bombs and the like to prohibit their use in any future war. And there is, in fact, considerable opposition in Western official circles, to say nothing of public opinion, to the use of A and H bombs, except as a last, desperate resort. The Russians, of course, are aware of this, and they may think it is safe to start a "conventional- g type” war, in which almost certainly T they would have the initial advan- itage. ' 3, In any event, the speculation thilt-war will. necessarily be avert- ed simply became-of its possible sui- cidal consequences has been much overdone. It would be a great pity- perhaps a tragedy-if it were per- mitted to influence the course of Western military policy.

Reporl On Agriculture There is something to be said for the American practice of liziving Senate. committees go aroimcl the country from time to time cxaniin- lng various phases of the national economy. Perhaps soniciliing of the sort would not be out of place in Canada. If it did nothing else but draw attention to the fact that the problems of one area are the con. ce”'"0" might to be-of all other areas, a survey made by a pa;-Ha. meniary committee, made up oi representatives of all parties and from all regions should be of some value. . . . The latest U. S. Senate group to tour theco i was the Agricul- Owl-'1mt99. led by Senator ,. lend gt Louisiana. Since Ameri- n and Canadian ”agrl- lture have so many things in and. at "some points, are tually-interdependent, the find- s or this committee are of bilat- al concern. The one thing that btandsout prominently in the com- i,:l,ttee's report is what it calls "sag- ging-fam income". This is general; the 4 ommtry is ex- tho complaint, fal-

Jny realistic approach to agriu.il-- tural prob'ems. (It seems that likely that most Canadian farmers are talking in the same manner about the present Canadian Government: there is, however, this important difference: the Republican Party stands or falls on its popularity in the Middle West farm belt; there ap- pears to be no comparable situation in this country.)

One farmer witness who appear- ed before the Ellender Committee 3 aid something worth quoting: "Ain't we lucky. fellows. that we here are not working for the Krem- lin and they are saying lboys, you got to produce, and if you don't- capul!' " Naturally, this pleased the committee members, who were then reminded by another witness that. while a farmers-like all other peo- ple, including Senators-appreciates economic freedom, the glory of this freedom is at its brightest only when it is accompanied by reasonable economic stability. All governments know this; but sometimes they are a little hesitant about incorporating that simple fact into legislative pol-' icy.

Bartlett's Centennial

This is the centennial year for that grand old reference work, ”Bartlett's Familiar Quotations". The New York Times Book Review carries an interesting feature story on the life of the original author. Tradition has it that John Bartlett's University Bookstore, on the south- east corner of what is now Mass- achusetts Avenue a nd Boylston Street, Cambridge, was to the Har- vard and Cambridge wits of the Eighteen Fifties a place of foregath- ering and gossip. By all accounts Bartlett (1820-1905) was a hospit- able and indulgent bookseller. He provided a backroom for his good customers to read and chat in; he let the college boys bear off what books they wanted, allowing them to pay when they could. Truly he lived up to his title of "Bookseller to the University."

Those spacious old days are gone. Today, says The Times, "the corner once filled by the serene, broad- gabled, old frame house, in the west half of which Bartlett's customers read his books and smoked their pipes, is occupied by a tavern, a liquor store, a hot dog stand and a shoe repair shop."

Another indication of changing tastes is noted in the content of the quotations appearing in the various editions through which the book has passed. In the first edition the Bible. the Book of Common Prayer and Shakespeare take up one-third of the volume; in the ninth they drop to one-fifth; in the thirteenth to one-ninth. In the ninth edition classical quotations are one-eleventh of the book; in the thirteenth they are one-sixteenth. Down with the classics! No Artemus Ward and no Mark TwainV in the ninth edition. bill in the thirteenth they dance hand in hand with Ned Harrigan, Will Rogers, W. C. Fields and Sam (lolrlwyn.

The Age Old"Sfo:ry V I

if was with amazement and distress that I read the letter of Helen I. Davis under the heading "Keats' Neglected Grave".

A's president of the Keats-Shel- ley Association of America, I would like to correct the false impress- ion that her letter gives. as it is not only unfair to the association but shocking to interested readers.

The graves of Keats and Shelley are not neglected and there is an active group, of people in Rome in London and in the United States who have assumed the responsib- ility and cost of caring for them.

The Keatsshelley Memorial As- sociation was founded in Rome in 1901 by the then ambassadors of Great Britain and the United Stat- es. and a group of distinguished British and American residents in Rome.

The associatlo bought the house in which Keats died, in the Piazza dl Spagna. founded the library there and assumed the care of the graves of Keats and Shelley in the Protestant cemetery.

Graves Of Keats and Shelly

Ruth Draper In a letter to the New York Herald Tribune

his best to keep the grounds in

The part of the cemetery tto which Miss Davis refers is an open area containing very few graves. It is the older part, and the first non-Catholic stranger was buried there in 1765. Some of the very old stones are broken. and if they have never been repaired I imag- ine lt is because no one now liv- ing claims the responsibility for such a task. The grass is not often cut and wild flowers grow.

To some people this part of the cemetery may seem neglected. but to others it has a serene charm as one comes from among the crowded graves and ivy-bordered paths under the dark shade of the cypress trees into the sunlit area.

KEATS AND SEVERN

There are no paths save the one which leads to the corner where, under a great pine tree. lie the graves of Keats and Joseph Sev- em

These are covered with violets, and myrtle, rose bushes, rbododen: drons and other flowering shrubs form a semi-circle behind the tomb stones beneath the sheltering tree. a A beautiful wistaria vine planted long ago falls over the wall where I bas-relief of Keats is mounted.

During the past few years sev- eral improvemeuts have been made. An ugly ditch which had always run along the wall near the graves has been filled in and drained, so that a wide grsvelled space now exists where visitors can stand, or rest on a seettglven by a-generouh donor.

Several members of the assoc- iation have given much time and consideration to the planting of shrubs and flowers which will best withstand the great heat of Sum- mer, and when Ivisited the grave last June I was impressed by the improvement and the promising IP- pearance of the planting.

Many visitors bring fresh flaw- ers to the poet's graves and every one I have seen has been struck by the beauty and serenity and dign- ify they find in the cemetery, which is one of the loveliest places to see in Rome. '

A visit to the graves of Rents and Shelley will prove that an ef- fort ls being made to maintain, at these sacred places. such surround- lngs as will enhance their beauty and their significance. now and for many years to cums.

Then. when you open the other eye ' after the car has passed. it is still adapted to the near darkness which surrounds you.

You can help your children do velop good visual habits and pro- per coordination between eyes,

Building blocks, of course, are excellent coordination developers. as are other toys containing one or more parts which can be fitted to gether. As for games, jackstraws, hopscotch and rope skipping are very good.
