At Sulphur Springs

Canadians in general will wish Prime Minister St. Laurent a pleas- ant sojourn in the palatial and lux- urious liostelry at Sulphur Springs, hh"('Sl Virginia, where, in company vvith President Ruiz Cortines of Mexico. he is to spend the better part of two days as guest of the llresiiielit oi" the United States. ltasliington reports say that two state dinners will be held in honor of the tn o rligiiilarles. While this lnay lie a little hard on Nlr. St. Laurent's digestion. it is. no doubt, a small price to pay for the opportunity of talkiiig over with Mr. Eisenhower. face iii tin-c. the problems which are of common concern to the two coun- tries.

For some reason. the importance

of the meeting is being minimized in American official circles. Mr. James Hagerty, the President's

press secretary, is quoted as saying "no particular problem prompted the meeting". Be that as it may, it is hardly likely that Mr. Eisenhower invited the two statesmen to his holiday resort just for social chit- chat and wining and dining. He is far too busy a man for that; and the fact that he has put aside a number of important but avoidable activities of the Presidency during his period of convalcscence is proof that busi- ness affecting the three neighboring countries will be worked in with the customary social. amenities.

The meeting at Sulphur Springs is, in its own way, another summit meeting. However it may be with

' the United States and Mexico, it is

no secret that there are many prob- lems of defence and trade between this country and the United States which need high level consideration. American tariffs in particular and the whole pattern of commerce in general, in so far as it affects the Canadian economy, are matters in which certain adjustments are long overdue. It is too much to expect that these questions will be aired thoroughly, much less satisfactorily disposed of, in a Couple of days at Sulphur Springs. It is a safe assump- tion. however, that they will not be overlooked in the genial atmosphere that is certain to prevail.

Dr. Zwicky's Plan

It is generally agreed that over- population is one of the worlds vex- ing problems and likely to become even more so as times goes on. lIow- ever, at least. one scientist is not. worried about the prospect. provid- ed he can persuade governments to accept his prescription for economic relief. lie is Dr. Fritz Zwicky, an astronomer at the California Insti- tute of Technology.

Dr. Zwicky is of the opinion that it would be an easy matter to break up the major planets, such as Jup- iter and Neptune, which are now serving no useful purpose. and out of the separated portions make a hllfl(ll'('ll new planets to which the surplus population of the earth might emigrate. But changing the orbits of the new planets. so as to make their course correspondent with that of the earth, Dr. Zwicky believes that a satisfactory climate could be assured. He thinks also that it would be a good idea to send min- ority races, say. the Negroes in the Southern United States, off to the new worlds where they could live happily ever after. What is more, he has designed a space ship which at a trifling cost of 5100 million would take passengers from one planet to another with the greatest ease.

It. is an intriguing possibility, certainly. But then again it raises Mfr problems almost as serious as the one it is intended to solve. Lack- ing a system of world government, which not even Dr. Zwicky would be optimistic enough to envision in the jiext millennium. what nation or . up of nations would have sover-

lgnty over the new world? And if . syoum of initial sharing could - p 'out. What insurance ' ' thltnllnitadlnlnofs

better than the U. N. is functioning now? A cold war on the earth is serious enough; What Would l18DDe-ll if it were extended to the Zwlcky -world? The effects would be beyond mortal imagination. As for sending minority races thither, who would take the responsibility for that? Certainly not the United States Sup- reme ('onrt nor yet the World Court at the llague, both of which tri- bunals are on record as oposmg seg- i-i-gatloii in any form. And if groups from all races W81? 10 E0. presum- ably the social problem would fol- low them. l'urthcrmore, supposing that the Zwlcky immigrants did not like their new surroundings, would they be forced to stay, willy-nilly?

An Important Study

' No question fit--iiig the human race in these days is more in need of an authoritative 2lIlSlVt?ll than this one: What are the etlccls of atomic I radiation on human. animal, and plant life? The question has been knocked about ever since the begin- ning of the atomic age, and it is given special urgency every time one of the great powers conduct atomic and hydrogen tests. So far, no or- ganized body of scientists has come up with a categorical inventory of . the dange1's, if dangers there be, to this generation or generations yet to come. It seems that scientific opinion, like lay opinion, is still in the speculative stage.

At last, however, a beginning has been made towards finding an answer which will either confirm or allay the fears which are abroad. At the present time, scientists from 15 countries. including Candda, and representing both Great Power blocs as well as the "neutralist" states, are meeting at U. N. head- quarters in New York to start n two-year study of the subject. They will collect reports from all 85 countries which will make up the U. N. and from specialized agencies. They will make interim reports, if and when they come across some- thing significant.

Meanwhile, it is being suggested in some quarters that, pending the outcome of this impontant study, all nuclear test.s should be halted. This, no doubt, is easier said than done; but since all nations, East and West, large and small, and regardless of their political and economic sys- tems, stand to lose by persisting in practices which are harmful to life -assuming, lacking evidence to the contrary, that they are-it would seem that nothing but madness would prevent an understanding, at least temporarily.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The pastor of a church in Hous- ton. Texas. is distressed over a news- paper error. He sent the press an announcement that there would be no collects during Lenten services. Somewhere along the line the story got mixed up. It said there would be

no collections during Lent. O O O

The passing of Mr. Thomas F. Renton leaves the Town of George- town with one less outstanding citizen. Mr. Renton rendered dis- tinguished service in several import- ant phascs of community life over a

period of many years. I I 0

Mr. lliirvcy Moore's deep and abiding interest in wild fowl con- servation is beyond controversy, His bird sanctuary at Mllltown Cross is a really great adventure in public service, which should receive offi- cial recognition in some tangible way. While Mr. Moore finds much personal satisfaction in feeding the birds that come his way, it is a pleasure that costs a good deal of money.

There is really no reason for con- trovcrsy over the tourist business in- this province. Anyone who can read figures can see that the business is important to our economy a n d should be encouraged. At the same time, it is foolish to exaggerate its importance and to infer-as some members of the local legislature seem to have done 'in the current session--that it is the mainstay of the province. It is no such thing, and it will be a bad day for us all when ngrlculture and o t h e 1' primary phases of our economy are sliqhted in favour of in two-month: in the - snafu tum!

ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY

Sir,-Referring to a letter in your "issue of March lath. Mr. C. C Pratt of St. Peters stated. in this letter, that the St. Lawrence Sea- way project will cost around 3750.- 000,000 or around 350 per caplin. or around 35.000000 for P. E. I.

I think incorrect statements should be corrected, and I wish to state that the costs of the St. Law- rence Seaway are as follows: The estimated total cost of the Seaway and Power project is S900,000.000 to be 1 vided as follows: to the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario. S3'.'0.000.000: and to the Power Authority of the State of New York 900,000,000: making A total of for the develop- ment of power in the International section; to the navigation entities, that is. the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority and the St. Lawrence Sea- way development 900,000,000 of which 585,000,000 will be spent by the American Corpora- tion for works in the International section in American territory, and S2l5.000.000 by the Canadian Autho- rity, for works in Canada.

In so far ns the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority is concerned. its part of the project is financed by loans from the Federal Treasury upon which interest is being paid. all of which is being amortized and wi" be recaptured by the im- position of tolls against shipping companies. While the project is be- ing financed by the Federal Tren- sury, it will not cost the taxpay- er anything, because the method of finance agreed upon by the two Governments is that the amount spent will be amortized over a per- ind of years.

Thanking you for your valuable space.

As a harbinger of spring. the ground hog. robin and first crocus each has its advocates. many people there's no more en- ticing promise of spring than sim- ple garden seed.

Since dreary January. Eardeners have been thumbing through their need catalogues where, as one help-

- lessly addicted reader admits, "all - melons are monster. all asters are

giant. all petunias double-fringed." The magic of the dreambooks dis- solves all memory of past failures. And hope for this year's garden: rises like sap in the trees.

tlmated 30,000,000 Americans will .

buy flower seeds and about half as many vegetable seeds. Seed sales have never been better. One large mail order company alone puts out as many as 1.500 variet-

ies.

Another company. which sells through racks in stores. offers 1,100. One of its most loyal customers. an elderly lady who trades at n Philadelphia department store, ar- rives with her chauffeur each

every single variety.

VEGETABLES. BEWARE!

Not all buyers are so easily per- suaded. Most are especially wary of new vegetables. One catalogue of a newly developed vegetable called tampala. A Chinese import. it resembled ,' ” but withstood heat better and didn't collect sand.

I Now. a decade later. tampala is i relegated to a back-page mention

and good old sandy spinach holds down its traditional place in the book.

Even yellow sweet corn had to be given away at first. People wouldn't buy anything that looked a hard time catching on. Since 1940, however, its sales have trip- led. Such success augurit well for

Answer: Yes, coronary heart at- facks have been reported in per- sons in their teens and they are not too infrequent in persons under 30 years of age.

It is believed that the tensions of fast living may be a factor pro- duclng these attacks in young persons.
