What effect this may have on the i-lioii-v of a leader rcmiiiiis to bv soon; but it is to be iiiilciiiiii-ii on its own account. as evidence of re- newed party strength. The new policies have bcen out- ?” lined. and they seem to contain L 1 Something for almost everyone. They . . include plans to reduce income taxes, boost old age pensions for the needy. reform the Senate and provide tax exemptions for municipalities. Othcr planks call for is comprnhensivc ind- eral-provincial h o s p i t a l insurance scheme, revision of the existing Mar- itime freight rates structure which is long over due, and a ("ammon- wealth conference to re-establish traditional Canadian markets for primary and manufactured goods. The proposcd social benefits would add about tS165,000,000 to existing social costs, and will likely make the widest appeal. There is evidence of a strong re- vival in the party fortuncs. which even opponents conccde to be a good thing in the interests of dcmocratic government. Thcy do not. of course. admit that the change in party spirit spclls victory. Rut thcrc is a largc fluctuating vote in this country of which no party can be sure in ad- vance. While it has favoured the Liberals for many ycars, and while I ndmittcdly it is becoming more and more difficult to defeat any admin- istration long entrenched in power. therc is still the element of unpre- dictability. and the opportunity for aggressive campaigning under in- spired lcadcrship. This was proven in the recent provincial election in Nova Scotia. Will it be forthcoming as a result of this week's Conserva- tive convcntion? The other parties are watching from the sidelines. just as uncertain as we are of the answer. We have yet to hear a trumpet call that will rouse the nation to its un- precedented opportunities and re- sponsibilities. But in fairness to the Conservatives it must be said that they are making sounds at least more stimulating than the squeaks emanating from government sources during this trying period in Com- monwcalth affairs.

To Repulse Aggression

Every now and again some high- ranking official in the United States Defence Department speaks up to say how powerful his country is in the sincws of war. The latest to do so was Secretary of the Air Force Donald A. Quarles. In an address bcforc a meeting of mechanical en- ginccrs he cited the following facts and figures: The Air Force has I. "clear margin of superiority" over Comiiiiiiiist military strcngtli. It has

around the clock" carrying out mock exercises of one kind and another. The new B-52 heavy bombers are "the foremost expression of air power in the world" and even better ones are in the making. 'Ihvo long- range pilotless types of guided mis- silcs are in the planning stage, as arc two typos for an intcrcontinental ballistic missile. In short, the Air Force has everything from million tnn llllClPal' bombs to the most de- structive bullets ever built.

Summing up his account Mr. Quarles said: "The effectiveness of this deterrent. force is derived equal- ly from its manifest ability to do the job and from an announced in- tontion and determination to use it if necessary to rcpulse aggression."

It all sounds very impressive; or, at least. it would if President Eisen- howcr and Secretary of State Dulles did not tell the United Nations every few days that introducing resolu- tions in the General Assembly is as far as the United States is prepared to go in resisting Soviet atrocities. As it is. Mr. Quarles' recital of American power is unlikely to dis- turb Russia's lcadcrs qp sway them one iota from their aggressive schemes in Europe and the Middle East.

EDITORIAL NOTES

American Democrats are plan- ning an all out attack on the ad- ministration's 'tight money" policy when Congress convenes in January. They say it is bad for business and. indeed, for the whole economic structure of the nation. Something may have to be done about it. in Canada, too.

The most recently reported pas- time of Soviet troops in Hungary is shooting at women and children visit- ing the graves of their relatives who died in the uprising. Perhaps by the time Mr. I-lammarskjold arrives (if be over docs) they will have shifted to something less savage in their at- tr-mpt to make a good impression on . . their visitor.

Keystone Of Arab States

National Geographic Society

The Kingdom of Jordan. virtual- ly landlocked in the desert wastes of the north Arabian Peninsula. is a geographic keystone of the Arab states.

About the size of Indiana. Jor- dan faces Israel on the west along a 350-mile border that is the long- est of any shared by Arabs and Israelis. On the northeast. east. and south. the bulk of Jordan territory merges with the vast sand-and-rock expanses of Syria, Iraq. and Saudi Arabia.

In contrast. the Israel frontier in marked by two of nature's most startling phenomena-the deep Jordan River canyon. and the strange, cloudy lake called the Dead Sea. 1.286 feet below Medit- erranean level.

FUTURE ECONOMIC HOPE

These geographic features have great potential value for future econom' development. when the nations concerned can Agree on means of peaceful cooperation.

Recent technical survey: report that a Jordan Valley irrigation and power project, along with in- creased production of Dead Sea potash and other chemicals. could bring enormous benefits to both sides of the border.

Jordan now holds the Valley's entire lower reaches and three- fourths of the Dead Sea shares, the result of western expansion in Palestine in the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. with the added territory went the Biblical towns of Beth- lehem. Jericho. and Old Jerusal- em - separated from New Jer- usalem (now Israel's capital) by an uneasy no man's land.

As a whole. Jordan is divided into threo distinct regions: the farming and pastoral hills west of the Jordan River; the plateau strip running south from the riv- er's fertile eut bank to n pinpoint outlet on the Gulf of 'Aqaba; and the broad eastern deserts ranged by Bedouin tribolmen.

About nine-tenths of tho nation's

estimated 1.500.000 people live in the more productive northwest that covers only one-tenth of the land. Nearly a million are new- comers - inhabl of incorpor- ated "West Palestine." and dis- placed persons from Israel. To help ease the economic strains of the sudden influx. many of the refugees are being cared for in temporary camps supported by the United Nations.

RICH IN HISTORY

Jordan's limited farmland and lack of important mineral re- sources have long retarded in- dustry and kept down the general standard of living. Britain. hold- ing a post-World War I mandate over the country until 1946. for years has provided financial aid.

But the Jordan region of anci- ent times knew periods of strik- ing prosperity and cultural deve- lopment. It included the Biblical lands of Edom. Molb and Ammon through which the Children of Israel d. Solomonis port. of Ezlou-geber stood near the site, of present-day 'Aqaba. xlordan's? only outlet to the sea.

Persian. Greek, and Roman civilizations built nourishing cen- ters in this area. The modern ligihway north from 'Aqahs fol- lows the old Roman road that in turn was laid over the "King's Highway" of Moses's time.

Today's Kingdom has roots that go back to the medieval Arab Empire. King Hussein. who came to the throne after his famous grandfather. Abdullah. was as- sassinated in 1951. is I member of the Hashem dynasty that true- es its lineage to Mohammad. founder of the Moslem faith.

Hussein shares the family con- nection with his cousin. King Faisal II of Iraq. Colncldentally. the two rulers In both 21. and cercmonlall assumed royal of- fice on the same spring day in 1053.

Posl-Election Impressions

By Wlllfnd Tlllof in The

CINCINNATI. Ohio - it is now fairly obvious that there are three Parties in this country - the Dem- ocrats. the Republicans. and Mr. Eisenhower. Or. to put it another way. the President's victory is n triumph of personality over Party.

The old. traditional loyalties are slowly dissolving. The solid South is no longer as solidly Dsmocral as it used to be. And out on the Pacif- ic Coast Republicanism is no long- er prescriptive. There is little. down at the grass roots. to dis- tinguish the one Party from the other and it looks as though here 1 system was building up in which the two Parties become equally poised and lint the decisive fac- tor will be the independent voter. the man who puts personality above party and shows it by split- ting his ticket.

TWO WORRIED RIADIIS

OUR YESTERDAYS From The Guardian Files

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (December 14. 1951)

One of the worst fires in the his- tory of Prince Edward island oc- curred last night at the Falcon- wood Hospital. housing the insane patients of the Province. One pat- ient was killed in leaping from the burning building another died of injurie and six others are min- in. e financial loss is estimat- ed to run between a quarter mil- lion and I half million dollars.

The 8- S. Manghlld. of the New- foundland Steamship Service. which was the first steamer to en! er this port this season, has the added distinction of being the last to leave. Arriving here Saturday afternoon the steamer loaded gen- eral cargo. including a E r of cattle, for Newfoundland.

TEN YEARS AGO (December 14, 1046) The Provincial Government is considering assisting the City in providing new dumping grounds

ing and some of them read a scand- al magazine on Sunday afternoons. In this they don't differ so remark- ably from the people of Skye, or Tiliicoutry or Morningslde. But they do have a much greater in- terest in how much money you make. It's all right in Crete to make a lot of money but you mustn't use it in a prodigal way because people will talk. They know exactly how much you have given to the Boy Scouts, the Red Cross, the polio fund and to all the other funds which exist. If success goes to your head you'll soon hear about it. Crete loves gossip and it doesn't close its can to Icandnl. PRACTICAL JOKERS

Crete iii also a great town of practical Jokers. We wanted to play a practical joke ouueif but we were too late because everyone in Crete seemed to know who we were on our first morning. Our idea was to take our charming hosta' dog out for a walk and tell the first person we met that we had been hired by our hosts as their Scottish butler. This would have meant instant ostncism for our hosts. "Getting too big for their boots. huh!" the people of Crete would have said. "Tliink Just be- cause they got air conditioning in their house they can hire I buuer. we'll fix them."

It in becoming clearer to us every day that at home life I: lived more casually and that there in much less respect for institutions. You have to pay I certain price for a higher standard of living and part of the price is that your life is an open book. If you want to be successful you'd better conform. in the United States there are more confirmed Vaonformists than at home.

HAZARDS Is it any wonder then that the months of December through

March bring more deaths from heart disease than any other film of the year?

January. incidentally. is the peak of the heart attack season.

All of which should be reason enouzh why you should take it easy for the next few months. par- tlcularly if you are put 40.

On cold or extremely windy days. remain inside if it is at all

sslble. if you have to go out, bundle up warmly to avoid chill- ing. Walk. don't run.

If you are shoveling snow or performing some outside talk around the house. be careful not to over - exert yourself Breath- leiisness is an indication that you are doing too much.

As soon as you feel yourself be. coming tired. go back into the house, take off your wraps. sit down and relax.

if you develop a severe pain in the chest under the breast bone. call your doctor right away. it might be a signal that you have already done more than you should.
