SetzecI' Of The Issue

No other statesman in the world -In the free world, at any rats-can match Secretary Dulles' talent for making ambiguous and meaningless statcmcnts. However. Mr. Henry (lalmt Lodge, the chief American delegate to the U.N.. can claim to be almn.-t as adept in this respect.

Simtikiiig before the Security tjntincil on the subject of Egypt's uiulatr-tal tic-cision regarding the op- eration of the Suez Canal, Mr. Lodge oh.-m-wri that "it is plain that a clear Illajttliil) of the Council are aware of the irsptliisiliililies of the United Nations with regard to this matter. This is shown by the fact that the Council has discussed this problem several times and that it has re- mained seized of the issue." That phrase ”seized of the issue" has a fascination all its own. But no one, surely, would say that it means any- thing. Even if the majority of Coun- cil members wanted to disregard the Egyptian edict-and there is no evi- dence that they do-they would be powerless to do so. in view of the veto which the Soviet Union would be bound to exercise in the matter. They can be ”seized of the issue" for as long as they like, but it doesn't have the slightest effect on the oper- ation of the Suez Canal, nor can it have under Security Council rules.

It is it mystery why any matter of importance on which the Great Powers do not agree-and that in- cludes about everything-is brought before the Security Council, since one side is almost certain to veto any decision arrived at by the other side.

Maritime United Front

The recent conference of Mari- time Premiers at Halifax was ob- served with keen interest by the French-language press. In general, approval was expressed of the ef- forts being made to enlist federal aid for improvement of conditions in these provinces. A translation of the comments, in summary form, is given by Lenore Crawford in the Ottawa Citizen, from which we quote:

Le Soleil (Quebec City) notes that since the Maritimes do not feel strong enough to achieve progress without financial help from Ottawa, they must appeal to Ottawa. But if the means employed differ from those used by Quebec, the final ob- jective is the same--a larger share of revenue to assure economic de- velopmcnt, and to meet obligations which are increasing yearly in the spheres administered by the Prov- inces. The paper predicts that the day will come when the Maritlmes will feel strong enough to stand on their own feet in the same way as Ontario and Quebec have been able to do.

L'Action Catholic (Quebec City) applauds the Maritime move, and re- iterates its belief that a permanent organization of the ten provinces should be formed as suggested in the Tremhlay Report. This would pro- vide continuous liaison beneficial to every province. The deplorable part of the recent Maritime conference. the paper concludes. was the feeling of dependence on Ottawa for fiscal aid. Le Droit (Ottawa) observes that union of the Atlantic Provinces will surely benefit all four of them in at- uinim their objectives more easily. And at the moment. it odds. that have a powerful weapon to fore! 0!! you-at government to yield to them ....uue vote. The re-election of the

much they place their own interests above party politics. The people will be asked to vote for this or that party. but the fact remains that no province should identify itself with any federal political party, for when that party assumes power it must govern for the entire country and cannot champion provincial interests.

Election Restrictions

Few people know that candidates in a federal election may make all the piomises they like. but only oral- ly. It is illegal for any candidate to sign a pledge to do certain things if elected to parliament.

The public attending election meetings may heckle if they feel so inclined, but only if it is done de- cently and decorously. For instance if it is done as part of an attempt to prevent transaction of business at an election meeting, a penalty is im- posed on coiiviction.

-For years the election law has prohibited the carrying of swords, firearms. hludgeons or other offen- sive uetipotis to the neighborhood of a polling booth. If caught with OI- fensive ucapoits near a polling booth one could be fined up to 5'-2,(ltl(l or sent to prison for two years-or both. '

The candidate who signs an elec- tion pledge or promise is automati- cally b8l'I'Cd for five years from be- ing elected to, or sitting in the Com- mons, from voting or holding any government job. In other words it means that if elected he cannot take his seat and is barred from the election immediately following. This penalty is aimed at the prevention of selling himself on certain ques- tions. When an elected representative goes to Ottawa, he or she must be free and untrammclled personall.V'- This of course does not bait the issu- ing of party platforms to which it candidate may subscribe.

It is illegal to wear a campaign button or other party emblem within two days of the election.

Selling of beer or intoxicating beverage on election day is forbidden.

No loudspeaker, bunting design, flag or banner can be carried on or used on an automobile or truck as political propaganda on election day or the day previous.

Bribing or threatening a voter is illegal and is punishable in th e courts.

In spite of all this and Canada's apathy toward getting to the polling booth on election day, from 66 to 76 per cent of the voters have cast their ballots in previous elections. This average is said to compare quite favorably with other countries using the same system; but there is still much room for improvement.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A badge for courage ought to be given to the new Premier-designate of France. whoever he might happen to be. No other statesman in the world is as subject to the ups and downs-mostly downs--of political fortunes.

The Moscow Radio has called Jordan "the first victim of the Ei- senhower Doctrine." Actually. Jor- dan is the first Middle East state to receive a large amount of money from the United States without ask- ing for it under the terms of the Doctrine. If that's being victimized, the Jordanians can very well put up with It.

SCHOLARSHIP IN CHEMISTRY

Shawinigan Chemicals Limited has established one annual scholar- ship to be.known as the Shawinigan Scholarship in Chemstry at each of the following universities:

ACADIA UNIVERSITY, WOLFVILLE, N.S.

DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY, HALIFAX, N.S.

MOUNT ALLISON UNIVERSITY. SACKVILLE, NB. UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK. FREDERICFON. N.B ST. FRANCIS XAVIER UNIVERSITY, ANTIGONISH, N.S.

PURPOSE OF SCHOLARSHIP

The purpose of the scholarship h to encourage promising students to prepare themselves for a career in chemical research. It is not the pur- pose of this particular scholarship to foster students in biochemistry or chemical englneerlngas it is felt that these fields are adequately covered from other sources. -

ELIGIBILITY

Any student who is qualified to enter one of the above-mentioned universities, and who will enroll in an honours course or its equivalent in chemistry, may apply for the scholarship.

SELECTION OF RECIPIENTS '

. The selection of the recipient shall be by the Committee d Scholm ships at the University, from among applicants considered qualified by the Head of the Chemistry Department.

CONTINIIITY OF SCHOLARSHIP

The scholarship will be awarded to the candidate yearly for four years, or for the normal number of years necessary for the completion of an honours course in Chemistry. The scholarship is non-transferable. Should the recipient fall to make satisfactory progress in any one r. the scholarship may be terminated on the reconiniendation of the Head of the Chemistry Department,
