Shipbuilding

The United States and Canada are in much the same kind of ”hoat" in respect of merchant shipping. The fleets of both countries are small compared with those of other sea- faring nations, which means that much of their foreign commerce must be carrieil under the flags of other countries. The rezison in both instances is inaiiily on-uiioniic. Ship. building costs in Bfllillil. Japan and West Gcrniaiiy are innch lower than they are on this side of the Atlantic. So are the opcriitiiig costs.

and 4

Yet, any &'t'Ell-Hlllllz nation that has to depend in large part on other countries for its transportation is at an obvious disndvaiiiage in both peace and war. particularly the lat- ter. It is, indeed, a disadvantage which could under certain circum- stances be disastrous.

Recognizing this fact. the United States Government has assumed 40 per cent of ii shipbuilding program costing 5500 million which has been put under way by an American firm. This amount represents the difference between the American cost and what the program would have cost if it had been given to I foreign firm. Fifty-three cargo ships of around 16,000 tons each are in- volved ln the transaction.

The time may come when Can- ada will have to consider some such plan, if it is not to be left totally dependent on other countries for its shipping facilities. Then, of course, there is the matter of employment and materials to be considered. in the current American program it is estimated that 5200 million will be paid out in wages and as much or more in materials.

Unanswered Questions

For many years scientists have known that a great many diseases including some of the more virulent ones such as malaria and typhus are carried by insects. But until comparatively recent years little could be done about it. Then came the long series of insecticides, not- ably D.l).T. and its allied compounds which gave promise of a solution to the vexing problem. For a while it seemed that malaria, which at any given time afflicted at least half of the human race, would be brought under control and eventually eradi- cated. indeed, in the last ten years or,so great strides were made against this SCOlll".Z('I and. at the moment. its rax:ir.:r-s have been cur- tailed to a very great extent. thanks to the campaigns carried out in the major infected areas by the Woild Health Organization.

However. disquieting news comes from the headquarters of the W.H.O. in Geneva. its purport is that D.D.T. and other insecticides are fast losing their power; or. to put, it another way. the insects are developing a resistance to it. so much so that in the words of the report, "it would be irresponsible to dismiss the real possibility of a significant increase in the incidence of insect-home dis- eases in man." As many as 50,000 compounds are tested each year in the search for safe and effective in- Iecticldes: yet, again to quote from the report. "not a single practical solution exists for control of resist- ant insects except emergency switch-

Salutary Eflecl

That small group of Roman Catholic laymen in New Orleans who sent I memorial to the Pope asking that the head of the Arch- diocese, the. Most Rev. Joseph Rum- mel. be ordered to stop his integra- tion proceedina in parochial schools, may. unwittingly, make I worth- while contribution to the cause of social justice among the Negroes of the United States. There is, of course, not a chance in the world that their plea will be granted, since. for one thing. it runs contrary to every statement that the present Pope has made on racial relations in the course of his reign: and. for an- other, it was a serious breach of Church discipline.

The breach was all the more re- prehensible in that the group an- nounced publicly their intention to "go over the hcad" of the Arch- bishop and appeal directly to the Pope. But, eventually. an cilict will come from His Holiness. or the ecclesiastical office which dciils with such matters with pupal approval: and this cannot fail to have a salu- tary effect on the entire corilro- versy. It will strengthen the hands or Archbishop Rummel in his heroic

efforts to purge Southern society of-

the blight of racial what is even more urgent. it perhaps give encounigcnii-iii and comfort to other religious leaders in the region who know that racial discrimination is contrary to the Christian ethos. hilt who have hes- itated to take a bold and uncom- promising stand out of deference to deeply rooted social customs.

It is easy for those who. like ourselves, live in places where there is no racial problem of any kind, to assert boldly that racial discrimina- tion is unjust and un-Christian. it is not so easy in places where for generations segregation has been accepted as a natural order.

New Scallop Beds

New opportunities for Canadian draggers off the Atlantic coast have been opened up bv the discovery of two previously unkown scallop beds. That is the word from the lion. J. Angus MacLean, Minister of Fish- eries.

Located a month or so ago by scientists of the Fisheries Research Board, who are always on the look- in for new fisheries developments, the new beds are situated on the southern part of St. Pierre Bank. which lies east of Cape Breton and south of the islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon. They lie in about 2.") fathoms of water. The larger of the two is about 12 square miles in ex- tent, the smaller about 4 miles. The catches which have been made so far, experimentally, show the main body of the much sought after shell fish to be of good size and excellent quality. There are also large num- bers of smaller ones.

A bed was found on the northern part of the bank in i034. The new ones are not as large, but the con- centration of scallops is said to be as high as has been found in any other location. It is thought that dragging on a large scale may begin next year.

EDITORIAL NOTES

An expert on Latin Anicricnn affairs says that "this is the one area in the world where there is no fear of violence from the outside world." That mav be. But most of the countries in the area don't mind bickering violently among them- selves.

Q 0 0 Mr. St. LIureni's age and the

service he has already rendered to the nation would provide him with good reason to retire in the near future. It would not be surprising. however, if he were to decide to carry on in the Liberal leadership until" alter the next election, his

Clean Bombs

& Dirty Wcirs

Norman Cousins II the Saturday Review

Almost uilhoui realizing it. we are adopting the language of inadinen. We talk of ”clean'' hyd- roucn bombs. as though we are dealing with ibe ultimate in mor- al refinement. We use fniryland words to describe I mechan- ism that in a split second can incincraie millions of human be- in;.'s -- not dummies or imita- tions hilt real people-,exncllythe kind that you see around your dinner table.

Wbai kind of monslroun im- agination lg it that can connect the word "clean" to I device that will put the match in man's

cities? Yes: what is really meant i

by ”r-lean" is that we may be able to build I bomb with I greatly reduced potential for causing radioactive fallout.

But to call I hydrogen bomb or any bomb "clean"

an obscene farce out of words. ' Or we will use the term ''Iun- :

shine units" to measure the amounts of radiation; suffered by people as the result of nuclear explosions. Serious rnsurch ro- vcals that any added radiation shuriens life. And when I radio- active poison such as Strontium-

90 enters the body it gets into the ;

nucleic acid and the bone; with I risk of leukemia and bone tum- on ()f' K'8fl('Pl'S.

Yet all this now goes by the name of ”.sunshine units" it is

made to sound In though Iome- I

thing beautiful and glenmlngly wholesome were coming into I man's life. We seem to forltet that this is human tissue that is involved here. Also human germ-

plasm. And the effect on both .

of added rndlation is I cheap- ening and I damaging effect. and therefore In evil one. MORAL SIIIIINKAGI-2

To use the pretty words of the nursery in connection with such In effect in to engage in I fien- dish act of moral shrinkage.

The "clean" bomb became headline news recently when three nut-Ii-Ir scientists. under the auspice; of the Atomic En-

orgy Commission. called on the i president. The news accounts-of

the meeting reported that the

scientlsis asked for continuation of nuclear testing for five years.

They said they needed that much

more lime to develop a "clean"

hydrogen bomb: that is I fiss- ion lree explosive.

There uas a general air of jubilation aboiil the Innounec- ment. as though this was the

i deliverance the human race was uniting for. The ann.ounce...e..t said nothing about the fact that what the world is waiting for is not I better way to make I "clean" hydrogen explosive but I better way to get rid of dirty wars.

Exactly what do the three gcienlists think is going to hIp- pen ln the next five years while they calmly carry ou heir ex- periments'.' Do they suppose that everything will stand still. that the massive tensions that have

i l I l been building up for more than 1 I decade Ind that are now Ip- pmnchlng the saturation point will somehow evaporate? A MAD RACE Do they expect that the run between the Soviets and the ' United States to be the first to 1 develop missile that can cross the oconns- do they expect ; that this race will be called om i Do they expect that the reserves of nuclear will not i mount higher Ind higher until - their very presence may create T I quick-trigger psychosis?

they think that unlimited free- dom to continue unlimited test- ing will cause the present world Innrchy to disappear?

Important though the lIborI- tory may be to the scientists of the Atomic Energy Commis- sion, lt.iii not quite the whole world. The whole world is I world of movement Ind lem- pers and sudden impulses. it can't be squeezed into I row of laboratory iitorage bottles. no matter how neatly labelled.

Not only do tears tell some- thing Ibout who shed them. but It's usually possible to determine, to some extent, why they were

shed.

Tears shed by Idults Ire dif- ferent thnn those of children. and scientists can easily tell which is which.

Morever. they can also tell whether the tears were brought III by irritants. such as smog or onion. by whether they were caused by pain. Inger. sorrow or joy. Cbemlcnlly. the tears of these two categories are very different. IECRETED BY GLAND

Tears are secreted by In almond-shaped gland which we call the lnchrymnl gland. Gener- ally. the secretion from this gland passes out through the nose. When it is profuse. however. it, overflows the eyelids and we; have tears.

Certain odors irritate the inch- rymnl gland. causing it to shedl profusely. thus blinding the eyes with iears.

Tears aren't I nuisance as we sometimes are inclined to belive. . Just get something in your eye and you'll see how valuable they i really Ire.

FOREIGN BODIES

Automatically. tears viill flood the eyes in an attempt to wash out the foreign body, whatever it may be. Very often this natural attempt by your own body to! remedy the situation is all that is I needed. l

But this is Just one way in which nature protects your eyes. DUAL ROLE

No less wonderful is the work of your eyelashes which serve as I dust stopper and your eyebrows which have the dual role of keep- ing out dusrand preventing per- spiration from dripping into your eyes.

these new relationships work un- der the enforceable law.

The three scientists do not. sponk for the entire government. but the circumstances of their visit to the White House may in- dicate that government policy may now be developing along the lines of their recommendations. If so. and we pursue I policy of unlimited testing, then the pres- ent disarmament negotiations Ire fruitless.

For the president bad previous- ly stated that any ban on nu- clear testing must be tied in I ban on nuclear --mnments. it, therefore. we now insist on con- tinued testing. it can only mean lbni disarmament itself is doom- ed.

MUST BE CONTROLLED

What is most serious is that we are in effect announcing that wn don't want what tho world's peoples In clsmoring for-specific Ind concerted Ic- tlon that can bring the big nu- clear killers under control. And nothing can be more damaging to our security than to allow the idea to get around that we If! not really sincere in what we hIve been saying officially Ibout our desire for arms control.

Soviet Russia has been charg- ing us with insincerity. if we now confirm that charge by what we ourselves do. that we will line suffered I Ions in the world that no quantity of hydrogen ex- plosives. however "clean." can offset.
