Parliament. No one ever denlnd that the checks and balances of a society combining freedom and democracy are a nuisance to administrators. that often government would be more efficient without them. Mus- solini really did make the Italian trains run on time. Stalin really was very effective in getting done what he thought best. Mr. Howe and his able civil servants undoubtedly.un- derstand some of our national prob- lems better than the rest of us, and often could get along faster without Parliament and the W955 Yallplnl at their heels. And they, unlike Mussolini and Stalin. have the best intentions in the world. But do away with the cheeks and balances, and what then?

Premier Flemming has again carried his party to victory in New Brunswick with what appears at the time of writing to be a very sub- stantial majority. The only serious

Federal policies do not appear to have entered into the campaign to any appreciable extent. As the first provincial contest since the eon- troversial pipeline issue in Parlia- i ment. however, it is not without fed- I eral significance and the Opposition l at Ottawa may be expected to make the most of it.

the agreement. which is to last for . seven years, provides that parts of the British base in the zone are to be maintained and the United King- dom is entitled to reoccupy the base in the event of an attack upon Egypt or upon any of the state members of the Arab league or upon Turkey. Britain has the right of lfPll'lOVlIl2 and replacing stores in the base and may keep them up to an "average level." The agreement was debated in the British House of Commons last year and in spite n of the opposition of Ft group of gov- ' ernmenl supporters it was approv- ed. Approval also was voiced by the United States, Australia and Prime Minister Nehru of India. In Israel. however, concern wits expressed that the withdrawal of British troops from the zone might lead to an Egyptian attack upon Israeli territory. This is perhaps the issue of most immediate importance; but the free nations all have aistake in what was formerly regarded as Britain's lifeline of empire and the fact that it remains a strategic cen- tre of world importance Commun- ist infiltration there is something to be watched very closely.

Arbitrary Rates Boost

The Board of Transport Vom- missioners yesterday authorized the Railways to increase freight rates by 7 per cent between July 5'. and October Ill. This increase is expect- ed t.o yield between seven and eight million dollars in the four months. Ind is being granted as an "interim measure" pending ”fuller Board consideration" of an application by the companies for a general 15 per cent boost, allegedly to offset recent contract concessions to 150,000 non- operating employees.

The extraordinary feature of the Board's action in this case is that it has been taken without hearing any representations from the opposing provinces. It grants the railways an increase for the next four months and arbitrarily adjourns the matter until September. allowing itself just over a month thereafter to hear the case and make a final de- cision on what to do from Novem- ber 1st on. Theoretically. of course. the interim increase could then be withdrawn, but in practice the Transporl Board has already pre- judged the ease. As the Winnipeg Free Press points out, the question of whether or not the Railways need more money is the hilb of the issue. on which the Board is supposed to sit judicially.

"Over the past year or so," arlris our Winnipeg contempnranv. "the Transport. Board has allowed itself to appear. in its repeated grant of extensions to the Trans Canada .

Many women are unaware of anysvhyalcal on personality chang- es during. this monthly cycle. And many others. although acutely I- ware of the situation. are resign- ed in the Lellef that nothing can be done to help them.

The results may be serious. It's about time we had I frank dia- cusslon of this problem.

BASIC CAUSE

Since many women are com pletely unaware of the basic cause of'their difficulty. they do not real- ize that often they actually lure the real source of their family disturbances and social conflicts.

Depression. irritability. insom- nia and migraine are but I few of the results of premenstrual ten- sion. Is it any wonder that I woman under such a strain each month may not be the same lov- ing wife. mother. cordial friend or good worker that she is at other times?

Often she will say and do things she later regrets. .
