In pre- senting thc motion the sponsors ex- pressed the opinion that at the present time, whatever the situa- tion may have been in the past. the Lords are in closer touch with public opinion than are members of the Commons. As evidence for this argument they cited the re- sults of a national poll which had been taken following the decision of the Commons to abolish hang- ing. 6192. of the people interview- ed were opposed to the Commons' Iction. 28'?) in favour, and 1l.'7n undecided. This would seem to in- dicate that the Lords and not the Commons spoke for the people In that particular instance. It is hardly likely that the Lords will be given more power than they have at present. How- ever, thc motion now before the Commons may serve to remind the more bellicose critics that the ancient institution still has life and purpose in it. Whzitcvcr happens to the anti-hanging bill - it is al- ” most certain not to be approved - i L again in its present form - the "i p J Lords have given notice that they

are not and do not propose to be- come slaves of a Commonsf major- ity. O that the Senate of C a n a d a would demonstrate the ii same freedom, if onl.V 0'19? ill 3 i while, just to show that it. still i breathes the breath of life!

Fear And War

The news that the atomic arms race is rapidly approaching a "D0int of no return" is the saddest bit of Information that has been released to the world in this century. The point will be reaclietl when the Sov- iet Union and the United Sta te s have perfected the much talked about infernal long range missiles capable of carrying hydro gen bombs with their fcarfully destruc- tive powers from one continent to another. This, in the opinion of Harold Stassen, adviser to Presi- dent Eisenhowcr on disarmament problems, may come within a year or so. The Soviet Union has hint- ed that it has such a missile al- ready. Tlraf may or may not be true; but in any case it is only a matter of time when the missile will be a standard war weapon. And then. what?

Historically, every arms race- Ind there have been hundreds of them since the time the first wea-

pon of war was forged-has ended in war. That of course, is the pur- pose of an arms race. The. fact that both ,sides'clalm defence measures In jutlflcItl6n.for' the build-up is- or in "tin put.-of little

who, drunk with power and greed, proceed recklessly t.o ”the unseen hazard".

Fear of the consequences may keep the present arms race from following its natural course. no one knows whether it will or not; how- ever. it is clear from recent state- ments by responsible Western stalesmcn that the prospects are not too bright. Fear has its place in human relationships. Without it, it is probably correct to say. mankind would not have survived hcyonil tiiu primeval stage. But. it is not iiotctl for any special ability to create pears

Why Not A Committee?

L). (i”llt)l'?1i Simonds. former Army Chet of Staff, has been sayiui: Liiit'i2ittei'ing things about the Defence Department off and on for a couple of years or more. liis ch'cf criticism appears to be that the Minister of Defence, Mr. Campiiey, does not give the views of the chiefs of the armed forces the roiisideration they deserve. Gen. Simonds has a brilliant record as a soldier and administrator; and he is highly regarded by mili- tiiry leaders of Britain and the l'nite(l Suites. Even Mr. Campney himself has i'efei'i'ed to him as ”an able and efficient chief of staff”.

It would seem, therefore. that” Gen. Simonds' vewsiwith respect to the anlministration of the De- fence Dcpartment deserve some- thing better than to be brushed aside by the Defence Minister as unimportant and inconsequental. ”Mere expressions of opinion", to quote Mr. Campney, they may be;

but certainly they are authoritative p

enough to be given a Commons' hearing as has been requested by the leader of the Opposition and other members of Parliament. Yet, the Prime Minister has refused to allow a Commons Defence Com- mittee to be set up at this session. Why” If the Department is as well organized and efficient as Mr. Campney claims it to be. one would imagine he would be willing and eager to have Gen. Simonds' charges investigated at. the earliest possible moment. By simply stating that the charges are not true. without offering a shred of evi- dence to support the statement, he is merely adding strength to a widespread suspicion that the De- fence Department is. in fact, due for a thorough overhauling.

Mr. MacDonald's Visit

Canada has few literary men of international reputation. One of these IS Mr. Wilson MacDonald, who has been writing distinguish- ed poetry since early in the cen- tury. and whose work has been ac- claimed by discerning critics) on boi.h sides of the Atlantic. He has also ach'eved noteworthy success as a lecturer. Mr. MacDonald is now visiting the Province and is to azidross the Association of Nurses of Prince Edward Island at Caven- dish on Tuesday. It is to be hoped that arrangements will be made for hearing him in Charlottetown at a later date, before his vacation expires. It is an opportunity that many would appreciate, particular- ly if he could he prevailed upon to give a recital of his own poems. This is almost a lost alt today. but it is one in wh'ch Mr. Mac- Donald has scored many triumphs, both in Cflllllll-Ii Canada and the United States.

Dreaded Plague In Africa

By E. A. Jones Associated Press. Ugamla

"Africa the sleeping giant." I favorite phrase in the early days of the century. was more literally true then than the writers knew. From the Sahara to Zululand. over an area twice the size of the cou- tlnent of Australia, hung the dread shadow of sleeping sickness.

Whole villages sickened, wasted and died. Between 1896 and 1906. 200,000 persons were estimated to have died of sleeping sickness in the British protectorate of Uganda alone.

The disease is transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly. whose domain stretches over some 4,500,- 000 square miles of Afriaca.

MENACE RECOGNIZED

It was not until 1947 that the full extent of the menace was re- cognized. During the precceding few years tsetse had invaded 0.000 square miles at new land In Uganda. The government formed a special tsetse control depart- ment with orders to arrest the ad- vance of the fly and drive it back into its traditional strongholds.

There are two forms of the sickness - the Gambian. which covers the western half of the con- tineni. and the more virulent Rhodesian variety. which spreads through east and central Africa. Uganda, in between, has both.

Varous methods of attack have been used. Roving herds of buf- falo have been shot. off. Rarer game has been driven out of tsetse sallents back into its main strongholds. Bush has been cleared and kept cleared '..y hu- man setllemont and cultivation. Planes have been used to bomb

the bush country with insecticide. WINNING BATTLE

In the nine years since its for- mation the tsetse control depart- ment has ieconquered some 6.500 square miles from the enemy. No new land has been abandoned.

One difficulty in giving prompt treatment is that early symptoms are unrecognizable as sleeping sickness. Occasionally the tsetse bite becomes inflamed. Some- times a rash covers the skin. Per- sistent headache ls common. but all these symptoms might apply to other illnesses,

Later the glands enlarge, the victim suffers vomiting bouts and begins to become emaciated. Fl- nslly the virus invades the brain and spinal cord. Tremors and periods of Insanity are followed by lethargy. coma and death. It is from this final state that the dis- ease derives its name.

DRUGS EFFECTIVE

The onslaught of the tsetse fly has herded man into even smaller areas. with resultant over-grazing and over-cultivation of tsetse-free land. Soil deterioration brings chronic malnutrltitm.

The drug antrypol. discovered In Germany 25 years Igo. prevents sleeping sickness from being I fatal disease, providing it is treated in the first few weeks af- for infection. The American drug tryparsamidc has ive in more advanced uses of the Gambisn type.

ADT TIONAL VITAMIN C

In many cases. they report. miscarriages in subsequent preg- nancies have been prevented by having the mother drink Iddition- nl quantities of orange Juice daily or taking capsules high in vit.I- min C.

The amount of vitamin C you need each day -varies according to your age and certain other factors.

The Food Ind Nutrition Board of the National Research Council list; these approximate require- ments: normal man. 75 mg-: 00?- mal woman. 70 ml: p Pregnant woman, 100 m8-: nursing mother. 150 mg.

The daily vitamin re!lUll'9' ment for youngsters climbs grad- ually from 80 mg. for infants und- er 1 year. -until it reaches 80 mg. for girls between 13 and 20 and 100 mg. for boys from II! to 20-

The hitamin C content of grape- fruit and oranges and their Juice! is as follows: .

One cup of fresh orange juice as a rule contains 82 to 108 mg.: 1 cup of canned unsweetened. 19 to 104 mg.: I cup of canned, sweetened. 105 mg. and 1 cup of frozen. reconstituted. 100 to 108.

One cup of grapefruit juice Is I rule contains the following: fresh. 86-97: canned. unsweet- ened. B0-93; canned. sweetened. 87; Ind frozen. reconstituted. 91

A Form..Ia. For Cyprus

(Globe and Mail. Toronto)

Britain plaiis to give Cyprus gel!- gnvemmt-iit. but is not prepared to give it self-determination Mak- ing this announcement in the House of Commons. Prime Min- ister Edcn indicatcd that solf-de- termination for Cyprus was not agreeable to Turkcy, which has a keen interest in the Turkish- speaking minority there It fears that if Cyprus got self-detenninir tion. the Greek-speaking majority would immediately place themsel- ves. and the islaiirl. and thc Turk- ish minority nn it. under Greece. But self-detei'minnt.ion is what the Green-speaking Cypriots-or al any rate, their leaders-insist upon having They have received the British Prime Minister's In- nouncement with bitterness and anzcr It would seem. from their reaction. that Cyprus will continue to he plaeiicii by terrorism It would seem. too, that relations be- tween Britain and Greece. not to mention Turkey and Greece. will continue to he strained to the hrcaking-point NATO MEMBERS The Irony of it is that all three nations are members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization It has been suggested that Britain turn the Cyprus problem over to NATO: but this. the British Gov- ernment refuses to do Accepting that refusal, it becomes more than ever BI-ltIin's job to devise "I for- mula for Cyprus which is Icon!- Ible to her NATO partners gen- erally. and Greece and Turkey particularly

But if they did elect to attach themselves to Greece, the Greek Government would be required to honor the treaty rights outlined above'. TURKISH MINORITY

The question of the Turkish min- orlty remains. But is was not I question until the violent cam- paign for self-determination began. Until then. Greek-speaking and Turkish-speaking Cypriots liv e d peaceably together. as they still do in many other parts of the Middle East. Givcn independence on these terms. it is reasonable to suppose that the two races would slowly work out their own solution.

slowness is. indeed. one of the keys to the Cyprus problem. The other key is surcness. Firm pled- ges. firm dates. firmly backed by NATO, should restore peace to Cyprus, protect the interests of the three nations directly involved. and mend the tragic rift in the Western Alliance. They would also make it plain to the world at large that the West practices the liber- ty it. preaches.
