Pearson Is Optimistic
Sees No Middle East War
OTTAWA (CF) - External Af- fairs Minister Pearson indicated Friday he believes conflict can be avoided in the troubled Middle East.
The situation there has been worse at other times in the last year and did not result in conflict. he said in the Commons.
"And we must hope that not only will conflict be av ided now. but Vmorc important- hat the cause of conflict will be removed."
John Diefenbaker (PC - Prince Albt-rti, whose questions eleclted the minister's statement. said Mr. Pearson's remarks reveal more optimism than was apparent in the British Commons Thursday. SITUATION BETTER.
Mr. Pearson said:
"The situation in that (Middle Basil area, particularly the rela- lions between Israel and her Arab neighbors. has been tense and the cause of potential conflict since the first day of Israel's existence (May 5, 1048i.
"There have been ups and downs in the position, but it has always hccn disturbing and worrying. Events of last week have added to our worries."
However, the situation seemed to have eased somewhat in the last few days following "the shock" caused by the abrupt dis- missal of Lt.-Gen. Sir John Glubb. British commander of Jordan's ianicd Arab Legion.
"Neither Israel nor any of the
Arab governments concerned can hope to gain anything from a re difference.
"On the contrary, war would be disastrous to all concerned. WOULD CONDEMN AGGRESSOR
”It would result in the mobiliza- tion of world opinion. in the United Nations and elsewhere, in con- demnation of the aggressor and in damnation of the aggressor and in support for the victim of aggres-
on.
"I cannot believe that this is a situation which any country in the Middle East desires to bring about."
At the end of Mr. Pearson's statement, Mr. Diefenbaker said Canadians will appreciate the min- ister's optimism. But that hadn't answered his question:
"Why does the government . . . apply different pAII'ICIplCS in con- nection with the aale of a private contractor of arms in dealing with the Egyptian Air Force than it does in the case of the government agency dealing with Israel?" SEND EGYPT ORDER
Mr. Diefenbaker referred to Prime Minister St. Laurent's an- uuuncement Thursday-reiterated by Trade Minister Howe Friday- tltat the government will not in- terfere with completion of an Egyptian order for 15 Canadian Harvard training planes.
Mr. Howe granted Canada Car and Foundry Ltd. of Montreal an export permit for the sale last
kClaim Weather Cycles Affect Human Behaviour
VANCOUVER (CF) - You'll be happier in the end if you are not satisfied about the weather. scien- lists at two U.S. universities claim.
Dr. Ellsworth Huntington of Yale and i)r. Raymond B. Wheeler of Kansas University, respectively a
physicist and psychologist. say re- '
ccnt spells of bad weather could mean there will not be another dcpression- for perhaps 2.5 years.
Governments may become more -democratic and dictators may dis- appear. There shouldn't be en)! World war, either.

Civil wars will taper off, world wars won't happen.
Depression: will be of a minor nature.
Women's fashions will move to the frill and flounce side.
Travel will become more popu- lar and understanding between na- tions will grow.

Mr. St. Laurent also said Thurs- day. however, that an Israeli order for l.750 shells for 25-pounder field artillery has not been acted on. It was placed with the govern- ment-owned Crown Assets Dispo- sal Corporation.
In reply to Mr. Diefenbaker. Mr. Pearson said: "I wish . . . to re- feet the assumption that there is an application of different prin- ciples in this matter."
The minister said his view is that the Middle East situation. while tense and difficult, giving no ound for complacency and muc for anxiety. is not such to warrant interference with the Har- vard shipment.
NOT ARMED
The planes were equipped with no arms whatever. They could not be made structurally effective for that purpose without "at least two months' factory wor ."
Earlier Mal. - Gen. . R. Pearlres, VC. (PC - Esqulmalt- Saanich) asked Mr. Howe to sus- pend the Harvard shlpment. He understood the nine planes would be loaded aboard the Dutch from Halifax today.

-lEiden's Prestige Is At Low Ebb
Ily ALAN HARVEY Canadian Pesl Stuff Wlte LONDON (CF) - The British government is in difficulties. De- velopment in the Middle East are causing some dismay. and the fut-
” ure prospects are not bright.
The prestige of Sir Anthony Eden's administration appears to be at its lowest point since he be- came prime minister 11 months
ago.
Eden's personal position. some- what shaken last January by crit- icksm in newspapers usually do- voted io the Conservative cause, has suffered a further slump. His parliamentary performance last Wednesday night made a bad irn. pression on all who witnessed it.
The present difficulties appear more serious than the domestic trials which caused uneasiness two months ago. Then the main issue was inflation. Now the government is deeply involved in the problems of the Middle East. and it may have few winning cards to play. POSITION WEAK
The reality seems to be that Britain is in a position of weak. ness. The teaming up of EEYPW aggressive Col. Gamal Abdel Nas- ser with rulers of oil-rich Saudi Arabia and Syria, with Russian arms and influence in the back- ground, has tended to reduce Brit- ish influence among Middle East countries. In this context. Jordan's unexpected dismissal of Glubb Pasha, British commander of the Arab Legion, may be interpreted as a result of pressure on form- erly pro-Western Jordan by the Arab "big three" of Egypt. Saudi Arabia and Syria.
Officials admit privately that Jordanls po sition is "tricky." There may also be fear of anti- Western development in Iraq.
Viewed historically, what is tak-
ing place may be part of what. French philosopher-historian Bert- rand de Jouvenel calls the "ebb of Europe." Writing 10 years ago. in a book called "Problems of So- cialist England," he discussed the problems that would be left in the wake of the retreating European powers who ever ihc centuries have colonized most of the world. COLD COMFORT
De Jouvenel foresaw an ”impcr- falism on the prowl." namely Rus- sia, replacing the European ”imper Ialism in retreat" and predicted among other things that the timed- Iterranean will be left to Russian Influence."
Similarly. there may be British politicians who feel Britain can do little to improve her position in the Middle East. They may derive some cheer from reflections that perhaps the country's future lies less in the old imperialist direc- tions than within the Common- wealth, as a leading and useful member of that far-flung associa- (Ion.
Such a long-term philosophy will be cold comfort for Conservatives mediating on day-to-day reverses in foreign policy. The precise mood of the party, however, is difficult to define; its generalized uneasi- ness does not appear to have crystallized into a search for a new leader. Back benchcrs were pro- foundly disappointed with Eden's speech in the Middle East debate, but it was noticeable that they did not rally to Capt. Charles Water-L house, leader of the tory "Suez
group," a die-hard section which wants a get-tough policy.
It was easy for conservatives to cry "scuttle" when a Labor gov- ernment relinquished power in In- dia. Burma and Iran. It is less easy to find an alternative, in power.
Canada Needs - liore Nurses
OTTAWA (CPi-Canada must almost double the number of nurses available in the next 25 years even to maintain the pres- ent inadequate ratio of one for every 300 persons. the Canadian Nurses Association said Friday.
In a brief to the Gordon eco- nomic mmlssion, the 41.000- member association said major needs for the profession. include financial assistance for specialized education, research and social se- curity.
A larger population demanding a higher standard of health care, more extensive occupational health programs and medical
i advances would add to nursing's complexit, in the next 25 years.
To meet both qualitative and quantitive needs, nursing educa- tron must be unhampered by in- sufficient funds and the urgent de- mands of hospitals, the associa- tion said.
Research was needed to deter- mine the roles of graduate. prac- tical and auxiliary workers in nursing.
Salaries should be commensur- ate with responsibility, service and
preparation. and superannuation plans adequate .," to attract and retain needed personnel.

NEW YORK (AP) - The Red Army evidently has demoted the Soviet Navy.
Full details aren't yet available, but here are the facts to date: The long-time Soviet Navy head, Admiral Nikolai G. Kuznetsov, has been fired, and four leading admirals. including Kuznet ov, dropped from membership in the central committee of the Com munist party.
The new highest naval officer, Admiral S. G. Gorshkov. and his air force counterpart, Pavel Zhi- garev, chief marshal of aviation. now are officially outranked by eight army marshals. A year ago Kuznetsov and Zhlgarev were out- ranked by only four.
Gorshkov was named an alter- nate member of the central com- mittee of the Communist party Feb. 26. He is the only known naval officer in this high party organ. Previously the navy was represented on the central com- mittee by Kuznctsnv, a full mem- ber. and three alternates. l The Soviet defence tiiinistrys

There has always been a con- flict in the Soviet Union between advocates of a big navy and those who consider that the sea arm should be restricted primarily to coastal defence. Soviet Army lead- ers have not in general been sym,athetic to the big-navy con- cept, since this would mean diver- sion of funds and manpower away from the army.
