Fiouting Decency

I-'iom the juridical standpoint llnited States Government officials are probably correct in arguing that Congressional sub-committees which inquire into Communist activities in the United States are a law to them- selves and do not come under the control or the direct influence of the President and his Cabinet. This is nhiit Secretary of State Dulles is spi-cading abroad as protests from many countries-and indeed from the United States-pour into his de- partment with respect to the East- lanii sub-i-ommittee's iinsupported charges against the late Ambassador Norman.

(1 1; dmllnfnl. htmrrcr. wlietlier This explanation will satisfy those uhn feel that the tiaiiadian envoy was the tictlm of slander and in- nuendo. There are any number of Congressional sub-committees over which the President has no control but over whose activities he often attempts to exercise reasonable re- straint. The much publicized Mc- Carthy committee on alleged (font- munist influence in military organi- zations was one in which the Presi- dent and his Secretary of State in- terfered on numerous occasions in order to give a helping hand to the officers who were under attack. In this case. scarcely any attention was paid to the slanderous charges until after Mr. Norman's death: and even then it was no more than a formal word of regret from Mr. Dulles. the President himself having nothing to say. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the President either tacitly supported the baseless charges or was indifferent to them. Either way. it was nothing to his credit.

l"i'oni time to time it has been

miggestcd that the Canadian Parlia- ment might. render a valuable service. by instituting the sub-committee system in the American pattern. There is perhaps something to be said for it. since Parliament as well as Government shares responsibility for the national security. But it is to be hoped that if ever the sugges- tion is followed. care will be taken to make the committees subject to due process of law. There is no reason in the world why any com- mittee of any legislature should be permitted to flout the ordinary rules of justice and decency.

Useless Activities It would be difficult to think of anything more dastardly in the po- litical annals of mankind than the Soviet Union's ruthless suppression of the llungarian revolt. gut from the viewpoint of those llungarians who survived the brutality the way in which the United Nations handled the situation wri s nothing to be proud of. either. True. several coun- tries opened their doors to refugees, but they did so as sovereign nations. The fact that they happened to be U.N. members had little significance. The UN. machinery itself has worked slowly and almost indiffer- ""t1y- After passing one resolution after another demanding that UN. observers be admitted to Hungary. without making the slightest impres- sion on Soviet or Hungarian officials. and knowing full well after the first attempt that the demand would not be heeded. some sort of commission was set up to gather evidence f points outside the tortured . To an outsider it would seem that Austria would have been theioglcal place to look for facts. since it was to that country that most of the refugccs fled In search of peace and freedom. Besides. there was the simple fact of geographical proxim- lt.v which might have been expected to give members of the commission I Hut-hand look It border points. i of which were scenes of Soviet directed against the fleeing

and then only in I routine haphazard sort of way. which led Chancellor Julius Raab to express the opinion that the commission might just as well have stayed in New York. for all the good it could do at that late date.

This U.N. commission was. of course. made up. at least in part. of representatives of governments which did not particularly desire to gather evidence prejudicial to the Soviet Union and its Hungarian pup- pets. hence the dilly-dallying way it went about its work. It has brought no satisfaction to Hungarian free- dom fighters and very little credit to the UN.

Needless Fear

There seems to be I feeling among United States Government officials that the new British mili- tary plan as outlined a few days ago by Prime Minister Macmillan is to he established on the assumption that in the event of war the United Kingdom will be left naked to its enemies or entirely dependent on Ainiwivall protection.

Just how this view arose it is difficult to understand. Certainly. there is nothing in the Prime Min- isters statement in the Commons to justify it. All he said on this parti- cular subject was that in the event of a hydrogen bomb attack ”it must be expected that a great deal of destruction would ensue." That sounds reasonable enough. There is not a country in the world. not even the United States. that could possibly hold out the hope of 100f; security against nuclear warfare. Even con- sidering the present power of nuclear weapons, to say nothing of the force they will carry in the future. if only one bomber or missile reached the target. the ensuing destruction would be immense; and not all the defen- sive weapons in the combined arsen- ais could render that eventuality un- likely.

As for the fear that the United States might be expected to see to Britain's defense as well as her own. that surely runs against every line of British history. The British peo- ple a re accustomed to defending their allies as well as themselves against attack-witness their experi- ences in the first two years of both World Wars; they know nothing of being defended. at least in the first stages of conflict. by home other power. Moreover. although distrust of the United States seems to have subsided considerably in the last: month or two. there is still plenty of doubt In Britain as to whether the United States would "once more unto the breach" immediately on outbreak of hostilities. especially if these hostilities were to begin in Western Europe. as seems likely.

DAYLIGHT TIME

Sir.- with most of Canada going on daylight time very shortly. what about us? Arc we going to keep step with other cities or are we going to stay as the tail and switch the flies off as before. The Railways who once were so against daylight time are going on it this season and have written every City Council across the country about it. The C.B.C. radio and TV go on it every year and when we listen for the correct time during the summer months it's one hour out by our time.

ZERO HOUR AT VlMi

By DAVE

McINTOSH

Canadian Press staff

April 9. 1917. was Easter Mon day.

On that day in France 40 years ago today zero hour was 5.30 I.m. Sleet swept over the countryside. changing to blinding snow as that bloody day of glory wore on.

Under I thunderous barrage by 983 field. heavy and siege guns. the men crawled out of their shell holes. tunnel: and trenches and swept forward through the mud. wire and murderous chatter of the machine-guns.

The Canadian Corps did not halt until It had captured Vimy Ridge The ridge never fall from Allied hands during the rest of the First World War.

FOREVER CANADA

In fact. 248 acre: of the ridge remain forever Canada. This plot on Hill 145 was ceded to Canada in perpetuity by the French na- tion. On it. July ti, 1936. in the presence of 8.000 Canadians, King Edward VIII unveiled the Vimy memorial on which are inscribed. In English Ind French. these words: .

"To the valour of their country- men in the great war and in me- mory of their 60.000 dead this monument. is raiud by the people of Canada." -

Since April I. 1917, the great rampart of Vimy has been insep- arably connected with the name of Canada.

It forms I barrier nine miles long across the western edge of the Dousl Plain. Its commanding posi- tion. overlooking Arru to the south. Doual to the east. and Lens to the north. made it one of the most important tactical features on me Western front and thus I I0- cus for continual fighting through- out the war.

MADE THREE TRIES

The Canadians suffered 11.297 casualties. Of these. one - third were killed. one-third were knock- ed out of the war and one third came back to fight another day. PRAISED BY KING

There is no record of total Ger- man casualties but two German diyigiona lost more than 8.000 men II:

King George V um I telegram to the commander-in-chief of Brit- lIh armies in France: "Canada will be proud that the taking of the coveted ridge bu fIlled to the lot of her troops. I heartily con- gratulate you and III who have taken part in this splendid achieve- ment."

The importance of the Canadian capture of Vimy did not becomc wholly apparent until the great German offenlve in the spring of 1918. Vimy. held by the Canadians. was the only part of the Allied line between Rheims and Ypres. I distance of 125 miles. which did not yield.

Medically Speaking

by Herman N. Bundescn. M.D.

WHAT DOES THE DOCTOR'S LITTLE BLACK BAG HOLD? Ever wonder what. your doctor carries in that little bag of his? It's pretty much up to the individ- ual doctor to decide what he may

need on any specific call or for

his general daily visits. But I think you'll find that most doctors car- ry at least some. if not all. of the following instruments and diagnos- tic equipment.

BODY SOUNDS ,

They carry I stethoscope. of course. for listening to I pattenru heart. breathing and other body sounds. A thermometer to check temperatures is an essential piece of equipment.

There will be tongue depresson. too. and probably an ophthalmos- cope to inspect the eyes-and In otoscope to check the outer ear.

A aphygmomanometer, while it may be difficult to pronouce. is also an important piece of equip- ment. It measu cu blood pressure. STERILE INSTRUMENTS

Sterile syringes and needles for administering injections of pen- lclliin and other drugs and sterile Iurglcal instruments for emergen- glu are usually found In I doctor"!

Ig.

Of course. there also will be ster- lle bandages. cotton balls and ap- plicators. adhesive tape. a tour- niquet and maybe I reflex ham- mer and rubber gloves.

A most important Item. prescrip- tion blanks. may be carried in the bag or in the doctor's pocket. but always has them when making I

call. VARIETY OF MEDICINES

As for medicines. there is I wide range.. But usually. the general practitioner will carry some of the following:

Codeine Ind demerol for control- ling coughing and pain. epnlephrinu for allergic shock and Isthma, hypnotic: Ind sedatives, nitrogly- cerin and Imlnopbylllno for angina
