Political interference?
It is unfortunate that already, at the very beginning of the ex- cavation work at the Confederation Memorial Building site, work should have had to be stopped—even tem- porarily—over an employment con— troversy. We trust that the truck-- ers who claim they are not getting a fair chance for employment. and those who are corliplaining about the rate paid for haulage. will have their grievances thoroughly investi- gated, and that a better understand- ing will be arrived at. The company, reportedly, has offered to rotate trucks each week so that all truck- ers will have a chance for work, but is sticking to its rate of $3.25 per hour. which is $1.91 under the rate demanded.
No useful purpose would be serv- ed by commenting on an issue of this kind. It should be settled with. out outside intervention, if possible. What we do feel obliged to take note of is the statement of com- pany officials that their difficulties are being compounded by request: from politicians that certain truck- ers be hired in preference to others.
If this be true. it is a lamentable exhibition of petty partisanship. The ".job is not a political one, and the Tleast the public will expect of our f politicians is that they keep their Ihands off it. It is no place for them '_to start throwing their weight ‘around. As a company spokesman ~has well said, the project is “for the ,‘people of Canada, paid for by all jgovernments, and politics does not ’enter into it.”
y We can assure the company that. this policy has our wholehearted support as a newspaper, and we be- lieve that we speak for the great majority of our Island people in the matter. In any case it is the only policy that will insure the project's success.
When Buddies Fall Out
A week ago it seemed that the China-Soviet feud was in process of being patched up. But after a ser- ies of “cordial” and “friendly” meetings in Moscow and Peking, China suddenly let loose last Wed- nesday with a blast accusing the Soviet leaders of “donibIe-dealing", and of having “perfidiously and unilaterally" torn up hundreds of aid agreements with China in 1960. The Chinese agreed to meet the Russians to try to settle differences, but insisted that the Russians, among other things, apologize and “correct their faults.”
This was followed by a second statement on Friday that in effect dared the Russians, “outwardly as tough as bulls but inwardly as timid as mice,” to publish the Chinese side of the dispute and to stop jamming Chinese broadcasts.
These incidents serve to point up the statements in a recently pub- lished book, “Crisis in Communist China,” by John Scott, an American correspondent who has toured all the countries on China's periphery.
(The US. state department pro— hibits American correspondents from visiting Red China itself.)
Much of what the author says is not new, but it underlines the import- ance of the rivalry betwaen the two Communist powers for control of revolutionary movements in the un- derdeveloped countries. The schism but. has gone much deeper than funny people in the Western world had med. , no” end Peking compete for in Mongolia, North Viet. In the middle

East, in southeast Asia and Africa. Peking gives aid and comfort to Albania in its defiance of Russia. Moscow has supported India in its frontier conflict with China. It has extended loans to Red China, but no grants, and it is insisting now on repayment. Russia’s 1960 with- drawal of 10,000 technicians from China amounted, in China’s view, to “vindictive economic sabotage.” .‘IOSCOW has frustrated China’s atom- ic program by withholding mater- ials and specialists. And China, still poor and crowded, cOvets sparser settled Soviet territory along a 4,- 500 mile border.
In view of these known frictions, some observers think a diploma- tic break may be imminent, or even military hostilities. Others, includ- ing Scott, think Red China and Rus- sia have too much to lose to let mat- ters go that far. Certainly it would be risky for the Western world to count upon the two Communist pow- ers devouring each other. At the same time there need be no won" that a few kind words on either side are going to erase recent in- sults and set everything in the Sim- Soviet world straight.
Farming In Britain
In General de Gaulle’s opinion, Britain is "hardly an agricultural country at all." The fact is, how- ever, that British farming is well ahead of much of the farming In central and southern France. It is one of Britain's largest and most important industries, involving 450,- 000 farmers, small-holders and horti- culturalists who have been making marked progress under a national policy of upgrading agriculture that. has continued since 1959.
It was then that the bottom of a long depression in British agri- culture was reached. Efforts to rehabilitate farmcring thereafter were given a big stimulus by need for homegrown food in World War II. From supplying only one-third of the nation‘s food needs in 1930, Brit- ish farms now supply more than a half. About 1,000,000 people are em- ployed on the land; but, as in other prospering agricultures. the trend is for reduced manpower and higher mechanization.
Social changes of the past half- centnry have completely transform- ed the pattern of rural life in Brit- ain. Great estates have been largely broken tip. In England and Wales the average full-time farmer has about 115 acres of crops and grass. There has been a sharp rise in live- stock. Besides paying the equivalent of up to $1,040 million a year in supports and grants, the British government has built up a far- reaching organization of research, marketing, advisory and education- al services.
General de G a H II e doesn't know much about British farming, or he would hardly have made that taunt about its insignificant status. But there are a lot of thing about Britain that de Gaulle, for all his past experience, doesn’t know, doesn’t want to know or has for- gotten.
EDITORIAL NOTES
“Most of the antique war cries that are being uttered about the na- tional greatness of this or other countries,” says a British commenta- tor, “have little to do with practical defence. They are simply an expres~ sion of wounded national pride, and their main effect is to make it hard- er to get international agreement on measures to secure collective secur- ity for everyone."

Mr. Pearsm speaks of “this con- fused and dangerous national situa- tion" which requires all to approach the election "with the deepest sense of responsibility and citizenship.” But wasn’t there irresponsibility on the part of those who precipitated an election at this time, before the business of Parliament could be dealt with? It was Mr. Pearson, af- ter all, who said in movmg his first motion of non-confidence on Oct. .1 that if it were defeated (as it was) the Government Would then have a mandate to introduce its legisla- tive and other proposals “and each of these proposals will be consider- ed by this party on its merits in ex- actly the same way as if the Gov- ernment had a clear majority in this House." (Ian he really believe, now, that the Government must alone take the blame for the fruit less debates and political stratagems which delayed the work?

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Mr. Sevigny Presents His Arguments
The first election programme to be outlined in detail came. surprisingly enough. not from one of the four recognized poli- tical parties taking part in the campaign. but from a possible “Independent” candidate.
Hon. Pierre Sevigny, former Conservative MP. for the suburban Montreal constitu- ency of Longueuil, resigned from his position as Associate Minister of National Defence early in February. Since then, he has held a well - attended press conference in Montreal, and issued two statements to the press. He has not, as this is written, announced whether he will be a candidate in the present election.
“But if I decide to run, I shall do so as an Independent," he said. “And if the people of my riding of Longueuil once again give me their confidence I shall, in the House of Commons. sup- port the Party which will intro- duce the programme I outline."
CANADIANS ANXIOUS
“The people of Canada wish to have the facts about defence. and are anxiously awaiting the presentation of a programme which will unite Canada, 58 ve Confederation, and contribute t a permanent prosperity," r. Sevigny declared.
as, in his view, no poli-
tical party has yet presented such a programme, he '
himself. As for the facts about de- fence. he stated clearly that
Canada is not a nuclear nation, and does not wish to become a nuclear nation. The only nations which are unclear nations, he said. are those which possess strategic nuclear weapons. na-
ong - range offensive weapons, such as N-bomb-car- ryinp bombers and inter-contin~
All the NATO nations have
lcontribuicd troops to the NATO lconccrning our future 'in world trade, and there is a ;
‘command, and those NATO for- ces are committed to use tacti- cal, or short - range defensive nuclear weapons, under the icommand of h NATO sup- reme commander. But that, ar— gues Mr. Sevigny, and with rea- son, does not make the other ‘twclve NATO nations. including Canada, "nuclear nations." We
have undertaken certain com- mitments to arm our forces, ‘ serving under international command, with such short-
‘range tactical nuclear weapons. and we should meet these com- ,mitments, he said. 9 Turning to the important sub- ect of national unity, Hon. .Picrre Sevigny asserted that l“We have possibly reached the ‘ last hour of the last day of Con- cherablon." To enable us to lchoose "unity" rather than “di- vision,” be outlined certain ur- gent steps, including the desig- nation of a distinctive national ,flag, the recognition of “0 Can- ada" as our official anthem, the creation of distinctive Cana- dian medals for valour and dis- tinguished service, the repatria- tion of our constitution, and a fair deal from French-speaking
lperity and to provide jobs for‘

he believes. by aiming at freer “ two-way trade, by specializing
our production in specific fields. 3 by processing more of our raw materials at home, and by study- ,ing the opportunities offered by i the big new trading blocs now growing up. 1 , Mr. Sevigny's emphasis lseemed to be laid on what we I, lmusf recognize as "the Quebec , lyproblem." only political ‘ 4 party which talks as determined- 5, ily in similar terms is the Soc-g in] Credit Party.

THE REVERSE SIDE
Sir. — I was much interested in reading the views of His Worship. Mayor Gaudet on the proposed causeway across Norlhumberlund Strait in your very excellent Progress Edition of The Guardian-Patriot. These views were expressed towards the end of a fairly long article on lounist possibilities and may ha e been missed by many in looking over the expansive 32 page issue.
His Worship cannot be mid- ered an “old tony" In any cen- u of the term. as some of the rest of us holding similar views might be classified. He sets forth rightly that I large sum I our summer ton
across the Strait as one of the highlights of their summer holiday, expressed the fear that the causeway might make the Island “just another gass‘ng-up i stop on a through highway" and ’disliked the idea of P.E.I. los- :‘lng its individuality, and some ,of the charm it now has be- lcause of. its island position. While dealing primarily with lthe causeway from the tourist viewpoint His Worship didn't emphasize the fear and dis- comfort that would be faced by ‘many Island car owners com- pelled to drive across that nar- row windswept roadway on cold, stormy, rainy, foggy or snowy ‘days in late autumn, winter and jearly spring at a toll ‘cost equal ‘lo or possibly greater than that ,of spanning the same distance ,resting in a comfortable. safe land luxurious Abegwelt.

Histamine Type Headache Said
Rather Unusual
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dcllen
THERE ARE many different types of headache but so-culled histamine cephalgla is one of the most unusual. It stems from a painful (algia) overstretchinn. or dilatation of the blood vessels of the brain (ceph). Its victims are sensitive to or have an over- abundance of histamine in their lystem.
These headaches are so typi- cal that. once encountered, t never are forgotten. Distress is located on one side of the lien and is of short duration, usually lasting less than one hour. In many instances, the individual is awakened by headache two or three hours after falling asleep.
Most sufferers have pain that is constant, excruciating. burn- ing, or boring may be locat- ed over eye, nose, temple, jaw, roof of the mouth and top and back of the head on the Involved side. In addition. the eye becom- es congested and waters. The nasal passageway feels stuffy and a discharge is noted
The condition was described originally by Dr. Bayard T. Hor- ton of the Mayo clinic.

The shape of the deform- ed digit -resembles the claw of a hammer. The most painful as- pect of the condition is the cal- lus that develops on top where the toe rubs against the shoe. The toe next in the big one is af- fected most frequently and sur- gery is the remedy.

What might be done?
The anti-Market MP5 all Tor- ies, want a study made of Gait, Ottawa and other trade agreements with a view to their revision so that larger Commonwealth markets shall be. available for developing countries.
They demand commodity agreements giving priority in Commonwealth foodstuffs. and measures to build up the buy- ing power of underdeveloped countries. Along with these measures would go a program of technical aid and enlarged investment in the developing nations of the Commonwealth.
Mr. Macmillan's answer to this already seems to have been given. What makes ECM attractive to Britain II that all the nations in it are at the same level of economic development.
