A Grave Preciicamenl

One does not need to have any experience in the specialized field of diplomacy to realize the grave pre- dicament facing Western statesmen as they consider their relationship to Israel at this time of danger in the Middle East. In the case of Brit- ain it is a question of whether arms already ordered by Israel, and ap- proved for delivery before the pre- scnt t P n s e situation developed. should be forwarded or held up in View of Israel's recent strong attack on Egyptian troops. In American circles the question is whether or not Is- rael's application for arms should be approved.

Whatever decision is reached by any one of the Governments con- cerned could very well lead to a worsening of the situation as it now stands. If the arms are forwarded, Israel's leaders might look upon the action as Western support of their quarrel with Egypt. This, in turn, might encourage the Israelis to make all out war on their neigh- bours; or. conversely, it might very well provoke the Egyptians and their Arab colleagues to make war before Israel's strength has had time to develop. If, on the other hand. the arms are not sent, Egypt. confident in rising strength as a re- sult of arms imports from Iron Cur-

tain countries, might decide to strike -

while Israel is comparatively weak. This could lead to world war; and, if it did not, an Arab victory over Is- rael almost certainly would extend Soviet influence, and perhaps domln stion, in the whole Middle East area

To confuse the situation still more, and to make a joint decision on the part of the Western powers even more difficult to reach, the bulk of American public opinion seems to be on Israel's side, while the British Government appears to believe that there is little to choose between the two camps. Further, Britain has a mutual defence under- Itanding with at least one or two of the Arab states. Of course, the Immediate aim of all the Western "powers is to keep war from break- ing out in the Middle East. Whether they can succeed in that remains to be seen; but. clearly, neither the willingness nor the refusal to send arms to Israel will be the deciding factor in any attempted solution of the problem.

A Welcome Change

The announcement by the Un- lied States Secretary of Commerce that his department-with Presiden- tial approval. of course-is consid- ering expanding the list of "non- strategic" goods that may be sent to the Soviet Union and other (Tom- munist countries marks a re al change in American foreign policy in the field of trade; and one cannot but think the change will be for the better. If there is, in fact, anything

, of value in the current Soviet pro-

tcstation of peaceful intentions. the loosening of trade restrictions can he expected to help it along. If there lsn't. it is hard to see how increased trade between East and West can make matters any worse. This has been the British view all along.

A rlispalch from Ottawa quotes a Trade Dr-partmont official as say- imz "we welcome. the American move and will match it". As Trade Minister I-lowe pointed out when Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Pearson was dismissing with Soviet leaders the possibility of increased trade be- tween the two countries. even with the utmost good will on both sides the quantity of goods Canada can expect to export to the Soviet Union is necessarily limited, inasmuch as-- ln Mr. I-Iowa's words-"the Russians produce the same things we do" But It quality that counts so H as the willingness let down

It may, however, have A profound effect on the Russian peo- ple who have been led to believe for ten years or more that non-('om- munist countries were bent on isol- ating them from the rest of the world economically as well as poli-

tically. Indian Affairs

According to an official of the Indian Affairs Branch of the Fed- eral Department of Citizenship and Immigration. thr Indian population of this country, numbering at the moment about 130.000. is growing at a faster rate than any other single racial group. This is a rever- sal of the situation that existed a couple of decades ago when the rate of mortality among Indians was so high it was feared that the race was on the way to extinction. The change. of course. is due mainly to modern advance in public health measures in which Indians have shared. Tuberculosis. once the great scourge of Indian health, is becom- ing less and less a menace every year. In 1944. for example. 245 In- dians succumbed to the disease; last year there were only 17 deaths from the same cause.

, While Reserves continue to func- tion under Federal Government sup- port, they appear to be losing their traditional hold on Indian loyalty. Only a few years ago the occasional young man or woman who expressed a wish to leave the Reserve for a wider field was looked upon as a traitor to the race. Now, there is scarcely any parental opposition at all. Consequently, many Indians of both sexes are entering into normal Canadian society and taking their places in the various trades and pro- fessions just like other Canadians Many of them have shown marked ability in teaching, law, nursing engineering. and other fields requir ing special training. Government of ficials, on their part, are encourag ing this process of integration. They could not very well do otherwise, in view of the fact that Canada is tak ing an active part in promoting the welfare of minority groups in far-oft places of the world.

IN REMEMBRANCE

Sir,ATo-morrow is a day of Re- membrance iint only of our heron: dead but also of the ideals for which they fought. This day will always be a day "I m9m0FY- Of grief. of pride and of new con- seration to duty. The recollections that crowd upon us on this mem- orial day. the pictures that so viv- idly arise to its from the prints of our remembrance cannot be class- ified and cannot be adequately ex- pressed ur described in words.

A Some of them are too sacred to

be clothed in language and they will always remain as hidden tre- asures in the mind and heart throughout all the future years- Other memories are those which Veterans will discuss as links of comradeship in a vanished but un- forgotten time, the time of war. which now seems distant. memor- ies of joyous struggle, of happy friendship, of great adventure and of unexampled courage.

The world as a rule forgets many things. It is often a world of forget- fulness rather than a world of re- membrance. But the world. thank God, has never forgotten courag- eous youth and unfailing valour and unwavering self sacrifice. Armistice Day keeps us in per- petual remembrance of these things. It is a day when we put out of sight the petty things of life. the trivial, the controversial. and when we think with reverence and pride of the nobility of our valiant dead.

The men amt women and boys who went out from our peaceful homes to die on the battlefields, or on the seas. or in the air for the principles of their ancestors on which our country is based thought not of self. One by one they were challenged by rirnlh. but they met the challenge with a smile and re- fused to be dismayed and. when at last they laid their lives with Him who had died for His prin- ciples, they had no regrets and so, on Remembrance Day each of our beloved dead who rest in honoured graves far auay. returns to us in mind and heart. Each comes. not changed by the years. but as we

youth and strength.

Therefore. the wearing of the puppy and the laying of wreaths at cenotaphs across the nation on Remembrance may recalls Ihrir spirit and gives new inspiration for service to their country they serv- ed so heroically and it is most surely of comfort and encourage- ment to those presently serving to know that devotion and sacrifice are not lightly forgotten by the citizens of this Dominion.

If Remembrance is to be sari-ed at all then it must be personal mid on Remembrance Day as the last strokes peat away from the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill on this November 11th., I am most happy to place a wreath nl the base of the National War Memorial here in Ottawa in remembrance of the young men from my native Prov- lnce, Prince Edward island. who so gallantly and willingly made the supreme sacrifice and who brought honour and glory to their Prov- ince and Country.

Canada's Norihland

By R. J. Anderson (Tanarllan Press Staff, Edmonton

The ciruiioniy of Western Can- adais Northland is almost com- pletely dependent upon the cum- bersome barges lhat each summer ply the Mackenzie river system Aircraft cannot carry the heavy freight upon which northern expan- sion depends. i

Northerners say the river trans- ' portalion system. strained to the limit to bring in a record 125.000 tons of supplies in the 1955 ship- . ping season, is not meeting the needs of an expanding . .y. They ask: How can the system handle the 150,000 tons of freight on order for I956?

The common carrier for the sys- tem is the Northern Transportation Co. Lld.. a crown company. It op erates from end of steel at Water- ways. Alta. on the Athabaskn river about 300 miles northeast of Ed- monton, to the Arctic and on Lakes Athnbaska. Great Slave and Great Bear. The system covers 217 miles.

IN ARCTIC OCEAN T00

The company had 75 barges and 21 tugboats in operation in 1955 and for the first time operated in the Arctic ocean with shallow-draft barges and tugs. Bushell on Lake Athabaska, the port for the uran- lnm mining centre of Uranium City, Sask.; Yellowknife. Fort Simpson. Fort Wrigley. Fort Good Hope. Arctic Red river. Klltlga- zuil. Tukloyaktuk-all the romantic names of the north are on the compnny's ports-of-call map.

This fleet normally would be adequate to handle all the heavy freight. into the boi-lb. But. new mines are opening up. the popula- tion is Increasing and, say vu- ernn northerners. the waterway is unable fully to meet the crylns need of the Nnrtheizood transpor- tation.

The main difficulty is the river system. The A t h a b as its river snakes a tortuous course through the barren lands and is shallow. Towards the end of the summer shipping season barges out of waterways draw only three feet of water and still get stuck on sand liars when silt blocks the channel. Barges that normally carry 350-375 tons of freight can take only 175- 200 tons.

What's the answer?

it takes a year from the time an order is placed to get a barge built in Vancouver and shipped to waterways for assembly. A short age of steel further delays prodllc

WINTER ROAD?

Some in Uranium City advocate the building of a winter road into the area. 460 miles northeast of Edmonton with caterpillar tractor trains operating on the ice or over

corduroy roads. But the oldtlmers - say this won't work. either. Icei

can pile so high under pressure and the tractor trains would have to carry so much bi-' ge equip- ment ln get thcmselv s out of trouble that they couldnt haul freight.

The problem worries F. W. Brod- erick. Northern's general manager, as well as those living in the area. In an interview here he said: "I think the public works department is going to have to make a survey of the Athabaska."

Mr. Broderick. like some in Uranium City, thinks the ultimate answer to the low-water problem may be to dam the Athabasks to control the early-season run-off. That would cost millions of dollars. But the effect on the whole north might be worth it.

For Fifty Yea rs

(News of Norway)

A monument commemo sling the fiftieth anniversary of the peaceful dissolution of the Swed-h lsh-Norwelglsn union was recently i unveiled in the Swedish town of t Karlstnd where the two-nation pence pact was signed in 1905. The ceremony was blended by some, 30.000 people from both sides of the border. In a symbolic gesture Swedish and Norwegian children formed a human ring around Ivar .Iohiissun's inspiring sculpture.

In his unveiling address King Gustav Adolf of-Sweden said that the fact that the union was peaco- ably dissolved was the key factor in developing such friendly snd close relations between the two brother peoples. And Crown Prince Olav of Norway declared the Nor- wcglan people would always be coll- sclous of the sacrifice that the Karl- stnd pact meant for Sweden. A- mong those present at the aero- mony were the prime ministers of Sweden and Norway.
