Test For U Thant

“The rumor that Mr. Khrush- chev is coming to the United Nations General Assembly next month," says the Manchester Guard- ian, “first flitted through the head- quarters building like a family ghost and was discounted until Mr. Adlai Stevenson came home from his European jaunt and appeared to believe it. By now it has taken on the monstrous plausibility of the Loch Ness monster. While the cor- respondents organize impromptu ex- peditions to take soundings and discover feeding grounds, the sec- retariat is haunted by the shadow its truth could throw across the path of U Thant."

The reference here is to the intensive speculation in United Nations lobbies about what wi ll happen when the Security Council takes up the question of the can- didate for full-term Secretary Gen- eral. When Mr. Hammarskjold died the Soviet Union was waging a furious campaign to abolish the of- fice and replace it with a trium- virate or troika in which the Soviet bloc, the West and the uncommitted nations would each have 9. repre- sentative. each with the power of veto onldecisions.

With some reluctance, the Rus- sians accepted Mr. Thant to fill out Mr. Hammarsk_iold’s term ending April 10, 1963. Premier Khrushchev made no commitment about drop- ping the troika demand but he has not pressed it recently. Mr. Thant was chosen last fall as Acting Sec- retary General because he was the only candidate acceptable to both the Soviet Union and the United States. If the Soviet Union turns on him there is no obvious and im- mediate candidate for replacement.

The Secretary General is elect-

weakest

ed by the General Assembly but he »

must first be recommended by the Security Council, where a veto can be applied. Hence the uneasiness at U.N. headquarters as to what may be in Premier Khrushchev’s mind. Mr. Thant hasn't waited for the General Assembly meeting to find out. He is now in Moscow, osten- sibly to discuss troubled relations in the Congo. But his presence‘ there also gives him a chance to feel the temperature in the Krem- lin just before the powers meet in New York. and it gives the Krem- lin, which invited him, a chance to make its feelings known. In the next few days he may get an in- dication oflthe conditions on which the Soviets will be prepared to brick his reappointment.

New U.S. Farm Bill

Anew farm bill that will interest Canadian farmers was passed last Jveek in the United States Senate, seeking control over the output of the big surplus cropa—wheat. and

feed grains. If enacted, marketing

certificates no longer will permit the farmer to collect a subsidy on any amount of wheat he cangrow on an allotted number of acres. They will , specify not numbers of bushels based on estimated demand. men. read min program. which imp“ on corn, grain aorghums, and rye, the principal change pfij at‘ the Secretary of Agriculture,

I ‘ fpsymeng , ta entirely. of wheat. if

the House of Representatives se- cepts the Senate version, Congress ,

will be moving in the direction of somewhat more effective controls, whereas in the case of feed grains it will be trying to obtain a reduc- tion of output by withdrawing sup- ports. There would be monetary in- ducements in both cases for volun- tary reduction of planting.

Whether the House will accept even this much strengthening of the government's hand is regarded as doubtful. It turned down the prev- ious farm bill after the Senate had adopted it, on the ground that the controls it sought were too rigid. It is likel_v that it will still take its stand on the present system of gov- ernment payments to farmers who voluntarily reduce output.

Observers say that the two-price system now introduced for wheat involves complexities which may be its undoing. Yet it has been advanc- ed by responsible people for many years, and probably only a test can determine whether it can be made to work. It is, at any rate, simpler than the three-price plan proposed in the original administration bill.

Friends In Need

Back in 1663. a ship’s crew of Quaker seamen was seized by pir- ates on the high seas. The crew members were taken to Algeria in chains as slaves. There they were said to have won the respect of their lawless masters, who gave them great freedom. In Algeria the name “Quaker” came to mean “a people t h a t might be trusted b e y o n d others,” and this reputation stood the sect in good stead in the years that followed.

Today in Algeria, representatives of the American Friends Service Committee—as the Quakers are known—are repaying the trust re- posed in them. They are providing emergency help to rebuild the war- damaged country——such as rushing supplies and health teams to vil- lages in need. At the same time they are beginning I long-range aid program, which will include help in rebuilding the h omes destroyed during the last; seven years of fight- ing. reclaiming neglected farmlands and training Algerian youth in agri- cultural and mechanical skills.

But the Quakers see still an- other aspect of their work. They hope also to per form a. reconciliation role and show the Algerians that Moslems and non-Moslems can live and work side by side.

A goodwill debt being paid off af- ter _300 years! This is an inspiring story, one of the most fruitful in its possibilities for good that we have come across for is long time. We could moralize on it, but to what purpose? We all there, in the news item that we have summarized.

The Red Ensign '

The Royal Canadian Legion has decided to have its Dominion Com- mand organize a publicity cam- paign to try to persuade Canadians to accept their own flag—-the Red Ensign. “More power to them,” comments the Kingston Whig-Stand- ard in an editorial in which we find ourselves in full accord. The need for such 9. campaign‘arose out of party pledges in the last federal elec- tion campaign, when politicians showed themselves all too ready to listen to any group with any kind of crackpot suggestion on this subject. It is time there was a showdown of public opinion.

Our Kingston contemporary notes that the Prime Minister has promised to set up some kind of a national conference to consider the queetion——“as if thehistorical ac- cidents in a nation's history are susceptible of manipulation l” We have a flag now and it carries all the pertinent symbolism of our past.

And, we might add, if it is good enough for the Royal Canadian Leg- ion it ought to be good enough for every citizen who enloys the free- doms that Legion members fought for in two world wars. But there are all kinds of Canada-firaters in the underbrush these days with only the foggiest. idea of what these "free- dom! are and what they cost.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Premier Shaw is looking fit as a fiddle on his emergence from hospital. and the best wishes of all our people will accompany him on his complete restoration to the vigorous health he formerly en- joyed.

A Relic Of Earlier Air Travel

A big crowd of top brass r sold to Matane Air Services Ltd.ttion was one of Canada's first from government and civilian _. in Quebec. where it is still giv-3 pilots. described as the man

This was a veteran of 25 years f service to Canadians. on show; as it journeyed from Halifax to - Vancouver with stops at thir- teen intermediate citics. Offi- cially known as CF-TCC, it was a tiny Lockheed IOA aircraft, one of the original machines with which our publicly-owned Trans-Canada Air Lines initiat- ed its passenger service a quar- ter-century ago. l

That inaugural route was the 122-mile hop between Vancou- ver and Seattle. It was opened l on 1st September 1937 with twice-daily flights each carry- ing 10 passengers. CF-TCC will repeat that flight on 1st Sep- tember this year to celebrate the 25th birthday of T.C.A.

OUR LAST VOYAGEURS l The brotherhood of the air is : I close-knit circle of dedicated and courageous pioneers - some say the last of the individualis- tic explorers of Canada. And when TC.A. carried its fir t passengers on that September morn in 1937. flying was still an l uncertain adventure. Thus it was with affection and proud nostal- gia that old-time bush pilots. Battle of Britain pilots, modern jet-jockeys and their sisters-in- service in stewardess g a r b. shook h a n d s. signed golden books and swapped white lie s around the gleaming CF-TCC when it touched down here. The world. Canada and T.C.A. have all gone a long way since 1937: but perhaps in air travel as exemplified by T.C.A. we have made the greatest strides. When the $100,000 CF-TCC first took to the air at a cautious 185 miles an hour. it carried 10 pas-

uncomfortable seats, and wear- ing oxygen masks to cross the Rockies. But today's airliner is four times longer. thirty times heavier. carries thirteen times as many passengers at three times the speed - but costs sixty times as much as that 1937 baby airliner.

ooking at b a b y CF-TCC. newly painted a gleaming white and proudly flaunting the T.C.A. crest, one could not fail to ad- mire e workmanship which could create such a tough baby. It was purchased new by T.C.A. in 1937, and flew 280,- 000 miles in 1,750 hours before being sold to the federal De- partment of Transport in May 1939 Through the next six years it carried many V.I.Ps on top- secret and most Important trips between Ottawa and Washington and other key centres.

Arms Buildup In Cuba

By Hamid Canadian Pres

The United States is deeply perturbed by the reported So- viet arms buildup in Cuba. While the situation has not yet bccome “intolorablc." there is every indication that Cuban-' Amcrican relations will worsen.

The immediate worry in American quarters is not that the reinforced Communist structure on the Caribbean is- land will directly endanger the U.S.. but it ‘will assist and pro- long the Fidel Castro regime and help to spread its influence in Latin America. ’

At the same time there is concern over the limited suc- cess of the Alliance-for-progress aid program. at raising living standards t h r o u g hout Latin America. The 10-year $20000.- 000,000 program. in which the

.S. fools half the bill, has ac- complished little in its first

year. PROGRAM DISRUPTED Inflation and unemployment. entrenched reaction and revolu- tionary turmoil have played havoc with pledges of many Latin American countries to re- form government administra-

Morrison s Staff writer

Many Latin American offl- cials. in turn. have blamed U.S. alliance officials for failing to understand their diverse prob- lcms.

Economically. the Castro re- gime may be faring no better than some of the other impov- erished countries. But Soviet aid may veil the true state of Cuban industry and the battal- ions of “tcchnicians" Castro is reported to be importing from the Soviet bloc may help to strangle any major show of restlessness among the Cuban citizens. ’

U.S. authorities say the flow of Communist equipment into ‘Cuba is continuing, and grow- ing. Imports are described as including ground-to-air missiles. radar. military communications equipment. trucks, tanks. guns and small arms

The stronger Castro becomes the more difficult it will be to dislodge him. This thought may be in the minds of the Amer- icans as well as the Russians. And the longer Castro stays in power the more damage he may do to the .S. cause in

Heart Wound

PROMPT emergency -men: often Saves the life. of I person whose heart is by a stab wound or other type of penetrating lesion. More than 80 per cent of those sustalnlns three accidents live to tell the tale. some require surgery to suture the wound whereas oth- ers get along with I simple pro- cedure involvlng the removal of blood from the sac surrounding the heart (pericardium).

This see is suspended from the upper part of the he I rt where the large blood vessels enter and leave the organ. It is made of tough material and resembles in some respects an ordinary plastic bag of good tensile strength. The pericardi- um separates the old pump from the lungs and provides I smooth surface for the beating heart to operate.

Many wounds involving the heart do not penetrate through the entire thickness of the wall.

There is bleeding info the pericardial sac and when it can- tinues. the pumping action of the heart is impaired. because it is beating in a sacful of
