The Late Mr. Hessian
No one was more attached to his Island l‘rovincc than was the late Mr. S. S. Hessian, (MK, .\'I.I...~\.. and his death in t'nroff Lagos, Nigeria, where he was representing us as a. member of the Commonwealth Par- liamentary Association. brought to our mind those poignant lines of the English poet Rupert Brooke, of First World War fame: “If I should (lie, think only this of mo: That thrre's some corner in a foreign field That is forever England . . ." Mr. Hessian’s remains will not lie in “a foreign field" but in his native Prince Edward Island; but to his fellow Islundcrs the circum- stances of his passing will give Nigeria a place in their thoughts which It never had before. No longer will it be just another new Com- mnnwealth state. on the remote north coast of the Gulf of Guinea. but a place whose strange sights and sounds blended with the last conscious hours of a beloved com- patriot. struck down in the line of duty. "Steve" J-Icssiun, though he was I vigorous fighter in the political ' arcrg/n'nd ncithcr gave nor took Tina ' [or in the rough and tumble of debate. hurl truly a hean of gold. He could be touched to instant. ro- nponse by an appeal to his finer feelings. and those who know him best were aware that in- deed his most outstanding charac. teristic. He delighted in exercising a wit; that. was provnrbial both in the . House and on the hustings. but never at the. expense of a weaker oppon- ent. His battles were chiefly with the powcrs that ho. whether he was in or out of opposition: for partisan- ship meant little to him when he felt that principles were at stake. fAbove all. it was the human factors that counted with him. and the loyalties that are forged in warm personal contact. The Guardian extends Its deep- est sympathy to his widow and son on this sad occasion.
Today's U.S. Elections
With President. Kennedy's per- sonal prestige but. not his office at. stake, an e s t i m a t. e d 50,000,000 American Voters will choose a new House of Representatives, 39 Sen- - ators. and a great number of state, I ‘ County and city officials throughout. ,. the. nation today.
Tho campaign has been a hectic one, punctuated by a crossfire of fraud and corruption charges cen- . tering chiefly around former Vice- " .g President Richard M. Nixon’s battle ,"i for the gove'rnorship in California. If ’ i Mr. Nixon wins over the present oc- ‘ cupant. Democrat E d m u n d G. 5 Brown, he may get another try at ; ' the presidency. although he has de-
. nied buy intention of running in 1964.
In contrast to the California toss-up. New York’s Republican Governor Nelspn Rockefeller is con- sidered: cure winner against Demo- } ‘pratic 'chdllenger Robert Morgen- ,tham'RockefeIIer, too, is a Repub- acan presidential possibility. So are ‘ Hearse Money, running for gover- v in Michigan, and Senator Barry tor whose sent is not at stake

its part in determining the voters' choices. and in a manner likely to favor the Democrats. Sonic pollsters suggest it may halt the traditional off-year erosion of the controlling party‘s congressional strength. Though the Democrats held the last. House of llcprcscntativos 261 to 17/1 with two vacancies and the last Senate 64 to 36, Mr. Kennedy had trouble with a coalition of southern llcmocrats and right-wing chub- Iicans who crushed many of his legislative proposals.
The President therefore is look- ing for some now faces: but the prospccts are that hc'll still have :i troublesome (‘ongress to deal with as he gocs through the last two years of his term and prepares to battle for a second term in Him. He took an active part in this cum- puign until the (‘uban crisis forced his return to \I'ashington.
Untimely Criticism
It was rat h e r cattish of Mr. Pearson to say, in a political speech in Halifax the other day, that the Dicfcnbakcr government had “a positive genius for irritating our two greatest friends and our tvvo greatest customers—4hr; L' n i t e d States and Britain. ’l‘hcy scent to get along all right, though, with Cuba and Communist China.”
As the rest of his remarks im- plied. the Liberal leader was deal- ing solely with trade matters. But: he must be well aware that there is criticism. just now, of the Diefen- baker government’s allegedly slow reaction in supporting the United States in the Cuban crisis, and the American preSS will be quick to seize upon his Halifax remarks as Corrolmrating this criticism.
Actually. Canada was not con. sulled by the linited States about its Cuban policy. and its reaction was all that could be expected in the circumstances. In any case. if Mr. Diefenhakcr was vague in his opening statement on P r e 5 id e n t Kennedy’s “quarantine” announce- ment. Mr. Pearson was equally so, and, by implication, critical of lltll- lateral American action. Both load- ers emphasized that: Canada had no other choice than to back up its American ally, but. neither was pre- pared to give his opinion as to the wisdom of the course taken at that time.
It was a gamble which paid off. But have reason to be ashamed that their political lead- ers saw the appalling hazards of this gamble. Indeed, as Mr. Pearson remarked at Halifax, the crisis has revealed how close the world could come to nuclear disaster, the danger of someone making the wrong move; “how close we have come to the abyss of destruction because of ac- tion taken by othcrs with whom we must be associated."
These being his views, surely the Liberal leader could have avoid- ed taunting. in the same. speech. the Diefenbaker government in the man- ner above quoted. Taken out of their context. his words could undoubt- edly be construed as relating to the Cuban crisis. And Mr. Pearson is too long in the political game not, to know that, this is precisely how they will be taken. abroad if not at home.

They are a re- minder of the fact that twice in this century there has been a world holo- caust. that hundreds of thousands of Canadians met it with courage, some to pass through it, many to make the ultimate sacrifice.

to ‘ in Ontario *

day's cdition of The Guardian. First of all, we cannot imag- inc \vherc Mr. Molchanov playcd any ignorance or disre- spect during his visit hero; in our opinion the Ignorance and disrespect were displayed in the hostile attitude of a few of thosc attending mcct’n , we cannot agree that all qucstions asked at. the evening mocting were of a chal~ longing nature and something of which to be proud. Some were pertinent and to the point. but others were of a naive, biased. and uninformed nature. Others were copies of question which have bccn asked Soviet diplo- mats for years: they have nev- er been asked in a manner sat- isfactory to the Soviet Union and they have never been an- swcrcd in a manner satisfactory to the West. It was absurd to suppose that. Mr. Molchanov would answer them in any way but the way in which he did. Hospitality to Mr. Molchunov personally was warmly extend- ed by the P.W.C. U.N. Club and the UN. Association of P. E. I. (We can assure Mr. Pendergut that despite our close associa- tion with Mr. Molchanov none of us as become a Communist.) But it must not be forgotten that Mr. Molchanov was here Is our
question, however much the View: of the questioner might differ from bin. We are. Sir. etc. DIANE THOMPSON ELAINE WALKER

Health Hazards Strewn In Path
Of Executives
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen
THE LADDER to success is beset with health hazards. They are greater among those who work their way up from scratch than among those who step in- to their jobs from college. This ma be an added argument to
convince Willie that a college:
education brings more than cultural and economic advan- tages.
A survey conducted by Dr. William N. Christensen and Dr. Lawrence E. Hinkle Jr. led to this conclusion. They studied a gmup of 139 men under age 32 with managerial positions in the same corporation. Fifty- five were recent college grad- uates and 84 were hlgh school graduates who had risen from the ranks. The latter were un- der more tension and had more illnesses. They were headed for high blood pressure and heart disease. -
According to Dr. Christensen and Dr. Hinkle. the two groups appeared on the surface to be different only in education and in the way the had attained their present positions. Actual- ly the colleg'e men were work- ing and living in an environ- ment with which they had a lifetime of familiarity. In this respect. they were not exposed to certain tensions and uncer- tainties at home and wit

The high school graduates were lifting their families up a notch or two. They had grown up in modest to substandard- neighborhoods. usuallv in fam- ilies of low income. They mar- ried earlier and had more fi- nancial and domestic problems. Some had dependent relatives whereas others were taking vo-

A man's job has a bearing on I his health but what he does at _

Once again the suggestion has been made that everyone in the country should be fingerprintcd to help the police to identify people. During his chnrge to a jury in Hamilton. the Coroner. Dr. H.R. McAlister. said:
Maybe we should all be finger- printcd so that in unusual cumstances such as a car acci- dent or a fire it would make it easy for police to identify us.
Universal fingerprinting has been urged from time to time by some policemen and magis- trates. and even by Govern- ments. In 1940. the Administra- tion in Washington indicated that it was considering nation- wide fingerprintlng, but t plan was rejected flatly by an outraged U.S. public. Most peo- ‘
