Challenging Revelations In today's Smith. associate tawa Journal. sums sinus of Russia as'a member official party accompanying iial Affairs Iilini.-;.i.cr Pearson presctit visit to the East. Mr. Smith is an experienced journalist of un- impeachahle reputation. and his ac- count must be weighed from this standpoint. disquieting as it niay be

in many of its iniplications.

We know, of course, that the Soviets are doing evcrytliiiig pos- sible to impress visitors favourably. particuliirly official parties from the loading deniocratic countries. Mak- ing every allowance for their effi- cirwicy as propagtuitlists. however, it would l-c wishful thinking to dis- count the evidence of the staggering progress they have been achieving mntcrially. Their ambition for world poll or reniains unchanged, and we must readjust our thinking if we are to grapple with this threat suc- cessfuliy.

We cannot count upon their system falling apart through inter- nal disscnsions, and certainly not through any ostrich-like attitude on our part in refusing to recognize the sources of its strength. Demo- cracy, in .lTr. Smith's words. must mend its in-xui'inu.: and listless ways. We have tremendous spiritual for- ccs to draw upon which Communism has wilfully repudiated and denied. Therein lies the source of their weakness and of our great potential strength. Are we capitalizing on them sufficiently. or are we content. merely with paying lip service to our democratic ideals and Christian culture?

This is the cliallcngc which So- viet Russia presents today, and it is one which cannot be met by armed preparedness alone, by trade nits- sions or Nato grants alone. It calls for an all-oiit effort. on the part of Christendom in the face of the greatest crisis it has experienced in its two thousand years' history. Mr Smith and others like him, we lie- lievc, are doing good service by dis- abusing us of complacency and warning us that time is ruiining out. We hope that all our readers will be perturbed by what he says. That is its purpose, and the pllrpostf or tliis newspaper and others across CFIIIPIIIII in giving it the widest pos- sible publicity.

But, if the "per- suasive power" can be maintained a while longer-perhaps from day 10 day is about all we can expect--it may in time become a really formid- able deterrent to war and. what is infinitely better. a practical incent- ive to peace. In any event, it is un- wise to say. as some do. that the U. N. has outlived its usefulness af- ter only ten years of life, simply be- cause some imperfections, including a few serious ones, have been re- corded in its books.

A Senator's Error

It sounds incredible that a poor dwarfish Arab, wandering along the streets of Cairo, should be able to outwit the brilliant Senator from Massachusetts, the Hon. Leverett Saltonstall; and not only outwit him but persuade him to contribute his hard-earned American money to the build-up of Egypt's military machine. Yet, it so happened a few days ago when Senator Saltonstall. in company with some of his col- leagues, was examining the tensor situation that exists in that part of the world.

It seems that the distinguislied legislator was on his way to a meet- ing with Premier Nasser when the little Arab held out to him a tin can and mumbled something in his na- live dialect; whereupon Mr. Salton- stall. assuming the man was collect- ing for "some charity society for children or something else" dropped in a coin. It never occurred to the Bostonian that the little man was an agent for armament manufactur- ers: for. of course. nothing of the sort could ever happen on the streets of Boston. But that is ex- actly what he was. and. apparently. a very good one. All perfectly logi- timate. too. He was not to blame for the Senator's inability to under- stand Arabic. nor could he be ex- pected to mutter in the mysterious accents of Back Bay. So. quite un- wittingly, along with Czechoslovak- ian Communists and other undesir- ables. Senator Sallonstall has con- tributed to the Arab military ma- chine which is a threat not only to neighbouring Israel but to the entire Middle East area and. therefore, to the peace of the world. This is hum- lliating enough: but to be hondwink- ed by an Arab carrying a tin can must be gall and bitterness.

WEST RIVER BRIDGE

Sir. -Some time ago tenders were called by the Provincial Government for the construction of a new West River bridge. The pl'PS0l'li I.-ration being decided up- mi. the rmitraci was let; then work began. with very slow progress to date Now the whole project is at a standstill. Whatever represent- ations were made to the powers that be. and by whom. as to the location of the bridge were never known: but the "representative few" were only a chosen few. as it could not have been a non- politit-al body. because the bene' fit of service would only interest the minority.

When consideration was given in a new bridge the policy was to place it on the West River where it would be of service to six dis- tricts in Second Queens. and to others in general, regardless of their political affiliations. Were the results that gratifying? I.say No. Perhaps a lot of people will say it is inn late to do anything, as the bridge is already started. But it is a long way from becom- ing 8 reality.

An the annual supper held in Alton Hall on Nov. . 1954. Mr. Kitsnn. M.I..A.. who is the Liberal representative for the constituency was asked when the project would be finished and he replied before a large audiencc: "I say without fear of contradition that the West River Bridge will be completed by December. 1955. and tonight I am prepared to go further than that. I wager that if the bridge is not a reality in ilic time specified by me. I will pay oitt of my own poc- ket for cvrry supper put out here. at your next itlllllllli meeting."

I wondcr it Air Kitson will be in nttcnd:inrc at thc annual stip- per in Alton Hall on November Isl. Other business commitments may keep lnm occupied. and I be- lieve he is piiiiixtrilv interested in the Amherst l”;ur lint who knows” lie may he a cuml sport and rp. turn home to its in time to pay that wngci”

It is now Iuuilccti days since the coiili'a(-tor: stopped work on the bridge. and I ask for what sea- son? Perhaps there were several. but the chief one. apparently, is no foundation. no footing. nn bottom, Where were the cngliicers in the first placc" Surely they made soundings. The piles were driven and are now uaving in the fall breeze likc rlotlics pins on a line. What's the ncxt move”? Surely after so much etlort and expenditure. will they not admit their mistake in putting the bridge up there-'.'

I have been a strong advocate of the West River bridge from the beginning. but sorry to say our rt-presentation was never consult- ed in the matter. Nevertheless, the bridge should have been placed where It would have served the general public. and that would be down the rivcr in an easterly dir- action where the entire river from .-hnrc to shore is rock bottom. I understand that a survey was nev- er made at this point. The location I refer to is from the Macl(innon l"TiDFFl.V at Rocky Point to a direct

point opposite. namely. Y o r k Point Th? Drcscnt service connection

the South Shore with Charlottetown by the SS. Fairview has been in operation for some eighty years. and it gave service to people as far back in area as Rice Point. We had good government those cta,vs.and I personally feel that we have still got good administr- ative government. But when the limes called for a new bridge and I shorter route to Charlottetown, why was it not placed where It would scrvc all the sundry?

Korea?

By Heath Macquarrie

For many months the feveredl state of affairs in the Middle East has been causing great anxiety in other parts of the world and in recent weeks the situation has be- come one of great tension. Not long ago a Canadian with unusual- ly good sources of information made the private prediction that the Korean story will be repeated ' in the Middle East. He had in mind, presumably, a conflict be- tween hostile groups in the area which would draw to the battle- front the human and material re- sources of many other nations.

In some respects the ticklish situation in the mid-east region is similar to that which spraked the limited "hot war" of 1950. There are unsettled frontiers, hostile gov- ernments. and keen interest on the part of great powers. Indeed there are features in the new trouble zone which give ll greater potent- ial for explosion than those which sparked the outburst on the other side of Asia in,June of 1950. The burning hatred: and bitter memor- ies of the Arab-Israeli war of 1949. together with religious ant ty stemming much farther back, add greatly to the danger Then too the presence of that vital com- modify. oil. is a factor which must not be overlooked in any l'f33ll5IlC appraisal of the present situation.

DANGEROUS SITUATION The diplomatic tug-of-war over this strategic region I L J new and dangerous proportions with "'9 Egyptian decision to barter its commodities for arms from Czechoslovakia. In the present hostile posture of both Israel and Egypt the risks inherent in an armsrace are all too obvious. Premier Nasser-'3 government claims that a state of war con.

East.

The whole situation is fraught with peril and full of perlexiiies. The sponsorship of lsreal by the United States has for years alien- ated the Arab peoples. who. how- ever, are not in general sympath- etic to Communism. Yet the in- tense hatreds and rivalries of the Arab and Israeli might easily lead in a cleavage which would bring about another unfortunate and bloody frontier between the Communist and anti-Communist worlds. We have not seen the last danger signal from this part of the globe.

Medically Speaking

By Herman N. Birndesen. M. D:

YOU'RE ON A DIET You've got to do more in a re-

calories count as well.

Since you are eating less food, each calorie must be loaded with vitamins. minerals and proteins. It's a good idea to apply this rule to all of your cating. whether you are dieting or not.

CALCIUM IMPORTANT

Milk has a fairly high caloric content. but it is also the best knoivn source of calcium. And cal- cium is one of the most important of all minerals to your body.

It's essential for building strong. straight bones and sound teeth. It's also important for proper function- ing of your heart and nervous sys- tem. Therefore. you can readily see that milk is important to you no matter what your age. -

Eggs also are usually consider ed ”fatlening." Actually. they are just the lie in a reducing diet. To get from other foods the nec- essary elements they give you would require the eating of a tre- mendous number of calories. Liver. too. gives you exceptionally good value for the number of calories it contains.

I suggest you ask your doctor to recommend a supplementary ra- tion of vitamins and minerals.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

B..I.: My son recently cut him- self. He now has an extremely large scar, that the doctor calls a keloid. What can help this?

Answer: Usually a keloid can be helped by local radium or X-ray treatments.

Before the beginning of the int crop year the United States government decreed in fourteen per cent. acreage cut in cotton planting. It was hoped that with 1 smaller crop and lower volumes entering the government surplus of price- support cotton, some of the enorm- ous holdover could be got rid of. But Nature played a mean trick on the crop controllers. The yield per acre was the highest on re- cord. the foal crop was two per cent above that of the previous year. and the government's un- wanted stockpile rose to 25.049.000 bales - in spite of bargain sales and barter deals with other coun- tries. -Toronto Globe and Mail.

"A doctor who has fin- ished a difficult and dangerous operation, and saved a human life." There are neither kings. emper- ors. riches nor rank mentioned in the list of answers.
