Of Maior Importance

At. every year's end. The (‘ana- dian Press issues a diary of the important. news events of the twelve months. NaIioual and international events are listed. somctimcs two nl‘ three items undcr one date. (in this occasion we turned with special in- terest to the event, of prime im- portance recorded as of April I7 last. and found what we were look- ing for. There. in plain print. and all by itself so that it wasn't at all hard to pick out. was this entry: "Diefenbakcr announces govcrnmeiu‘. will build nine-mile causeway from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island. costing $103.000.000."

This was the item about which there seemed to he so much con- fusion in the House of Commons debate on the Atlantic Development, Board bill, unt il Mr. l‘irkcrsgill straightened R. n v o n u e Minister Flemming and other members out. by reminding them that the. pro- posed new hoard would have noth- ing whatever to do with assessing the merits of this major project, and determining its priority. As a pledge given by the Prime Minister of Canada. its priority was already determined: all that remained to be done was to implement the pledge. There was no gainsaying that. and the discussion ended by Mr. Flemming assuring the House that. any pledge the Prime Minister made would he “implcmcntcd to the letter."

This is. a good thing for all con- corned to keep in mind during lflfifil. which will likely see the Atlantic Development Board properly laun- ched and under way. and grappling with other problems of importance 1.0 the area. Indeed. it. would clarity the matter if the board. at, its first meeting. passed a resolution indors- ing the causeway pledge 100 per cent and urging that no time be lost in getting the work under way. It could then get down to planning recommendations for projects of less immediate concern. But it should stand prepared. as the watch- dog of our interests. to see that this project does not get. lost in the shuffle. but is kept where it belongs as‘a specific policy of the Diefen- baker Government—the only one of major importance to the Atlantic area that has been enunciated in such clearcut terms.

ij this procedure is not follow- ed. the board will have stultified itself from the start. For of what use will its recommendations on other matters be. if the (lovem- ment finds it lukewarm in its stip- pof't of a scheme. that. has already begn thoroughly examined and ap- proved as to its feasibility. and given the green light? This. we

trust. will not. he the case: but it .

Isjjust. as well to start the new yegr with a clear idea of what. the cayseway pledge involves.

' ' hf paw. h I s maid m them on their

experts have been angered Ind illu- appointed by Pakistan's reaction to the threat from China. For more than six years. Washington has poured military aid into Pakistan for use against Communist aggres- sion. whilc India, during the same Ill‘l'itlli. sclt'-righteously refused all military aid in. the name of non- alignment.

Honcvcr. under the stress of I'hina‘s masrive invasion in October. India was glad to accept arms from all quarters and. in the event, it was non-aligned India which proved herself unequivocany anti-Commun- ist. Meanwhile Pakistan continued her new policy of flirting with China. even to the point. of talking about a non-aggression pact while the (‘hincse were actually advan- cing toward East Pakistan as well as India.

To understand this situation one must a pp re c i a t e that when the British pulled out of India. the Moslcms insisted on having a coun- try of their own in the northwest and northeast. where they pre- dominated. Thus was Pakistan born. a nation based on the Moslem relig- ion with West Pakistan and East Pakistan separated by hundreds of milcs of land possessed by India. The. dispute over Kashmir state arose from its reigning prince be- ing a non-Moslem who elected that Kashmir be part of India although the majority population in Kash- mir is Moslem.

Beyond the Islamic faith and anti-Indian feelings. Pakistan has had little to unify her for 15 years. And liashmir—fruitlessly in and out of the United Nations debating hall—has become a symbol of Pakis- Ian's hatred for India and her na- tional frustrations. It would appear. indeed. that the country entered into her military alliances with the West. not from anti-Communist but from anti-Indian motives: because she hode it would enable her to bargain with India, over Kashmir. from a position of strength.

It would be tempting to specu- late on what would happen if India handed Kashmir over to Pakistan, in the Interests of a joint defense agreement, thereby removing all ground for Complaint over this issue. Rut it is unlikely that any such proposal will be made. The re- sumption of negotiations this month is threatened by the emotional attis tudes which both countries have been striking for too many years now: a plebiscite demand on Pakistan's part. and insistence on Mr. Nehru's of “no alteration of the status quo."

EDITORIAL NOTES

Congratulations to the Hon. Al- han Farmcr'on his appointment to the portfolios of Attorney General and Provincial Treasurer. Mr. Farmer has had long experience in public affairs and in the legal pro- fession. He served three terms in the (‘in (Touncil before becoming a representative for Charlottetown in the Legislature. and has always been most conscientious in his dut- ics. His predecessor in government office. Mr. McQuaid. will be a hard man to replace. but Mr. Farmer can be depended upon to do his very best. to measure up to his respoan sibilitics.

THE LESSON OF CUBA

Canada And The Nuclear Chessboarcl

John B. Witchell In the Fredericton Gleaner

Thcrc are some valuable Ics- sons which Canadians c o u l d t learn from the Cuban crisis. There is one in particular, which 2 was shown with great clarity.‘ for those who are willing to look. It concerns the dangers to small nation's sovereignty which arise when It permits a super- power Io use its territory as part of the nuclear chessboard. and allows on its soil the pro-i sence of nuclear weapons which are not under its control.

Nothing could have been more humiliating for Cuba‘s Castro than the direct negotiations be- tween Washington and Moscow concerning armaments which i

l

were inslallcd on Cuban terri- tory. and which Were supposed to exist for the defence of Cuba.

Nothing could have been more damaging to the Castro "image" In South America. for it was the open and final admissionF that Cuba was a satellite —— ai pawn in the power game. ex-t

pendable if need be. t 9 overall policy of its foreign mas- ; Iers. 1 AN OBJECT LESSON t

This is an objch 1c sson ' which Canada cannot afford to ignore. We are currently being? faced with an intensive effort by l American interests - some which are governmental and some of which are industrial. to force upon Canada the ac- ceptance of American nuclear weapons over which Canadians will have no control.

A recent. C.P. press-release hinted that Canada will not be permitted to share in the recent jet-f i g ht c 1‘ development con- tract awardcd by the US. de- fence department unless our government capitulates to pres- sure. and accepts the U5. nu- clear arms _

This is something which has the clearest and most inescap- able implications for future Can- adian sovereignty. If we permit ‘> our Armed Forces to be equip- ped with these weapons we are unquestionably surrendering the control of our military estab- lishment to a foreign power. WHAT IS INVOLVED

We should realize clearly what we are doing. is is no small detail of military posIure. to ho settled quietly behind closed doors by military experts. It is something which must. eventual- I ly Involve the question of our; continued independence as I= nation. and the question of} whether our sons and daughters i will be Canadians or sccond-‘ class citizens of the United 7 States.

The motivation and loyaltiesi of those who are presently prcs- ‘ sing for this disastrous surrcn-i der of Canada's future should Immediately be called into ques- tion and thoroughly investigat- ed. It Is nonsense to say that the acceptance of U.S. nuclear am: Is inevitable. It Is blatantly un- truthful to pretend that these weapons can contribute any- thing whatever to our defencel or security. i

If we will only keep our heads in the world nuclear crisis there need never be any question of Canada‘s assimila- tion into an American super- statc. On the contrary. the nu- clear dinosaurs of both East and West will pass away In the fires of their own folly.

If we are truly friends the American people. we will not encourage them In their folly. or join.them In their nu- clear suicide-pact. Moreover. we have responsibilities of o u r own. It Is our ou n den duty as loyal Canadians to resist en- croachmenls upon our national sovereignty. however cunninu- Iy they may be disguised. To the offer of American-controlled nuclear weapons there can be only one answer from Canadians who have not wholly subverted. That answer Is Not

Oldest Health Agency

World Health Organization. U.N.

The world's oldest internation- al health agency the Pan-Amer- ican Health Organization. obser- ved its 60th birthday with its director pointing out that the good health of all Latin Ameri- cans Is necessary for the econo- mic progress of their countries.

“Healthy citizens earn m 0 re. They are able to spend more on goods and services. thereby speeding economic growth." Dr. Abraham Horwitz of C h l I o, Pan-American Sanitary Bureau director. explained In an anni~ vorsary message.

The bureau has worked with governments of this hemisphere for the solution of health pro- blems since its formal constitu- tion in Washington. D.C.. years ago. on December 2. 1902. It became the regional office for the American of the W o 1' Id Health Organization In 1949.

Dr. Horwitz termed the 303 public health projects his organ- ization is administering. many of them for WHO. as an Invest- ment in Latin America's econ- omy. The bureau”: budget for this year is $13 million.

n the bureau was found- cd. Its task was limited to "do-

ing away with the harmful ef-

‘fects of epidemics on the trade bctween nations." Dr. Horwitz said. "That goal. however. has long since became too narrow." added.

Today. the bureau's work on- compasses all the modern pub- lic health services

ment sanitation. malnutrition. mental health. and radiation health

And its goal today. Dr. II n r- witz said. is to break “the econ omic cycle of disease. poverty. and more disease.“

This is like shattering I link in a circular chain which begins with ill-health and low production. subsistence income. deficient nutrition. meager edu- cation and poor housing. leads to more ill health.

The economist and public health worker. as well as the statesman. are all agreed that breaking the chain -— that curing the Ilck Ind preventing ill health — Is I prerequisite to the economic growth of Latin America. Dr. Horwitz conclud- c .

Faulty Posture Twists Shape

By Dr. Theodore R. VII Dollcb A BOWLEGGED appearance In a child may be due to faulty posture while sitting or sleep- Ing. According to Dr. David C. Kellsey of Danville. Pa.. some I n f I n t I get into the habit of sleeping on the stomach with the hips rotated internally. for-, cing the feet to turn In. h I I leads to pigeontoe and In Ip- parent bowing of the legs.

This sounds logical. especial- ly during the first year of III 0 when the younster ts growlnl longitudinally and spending con- siderable time In bed. There II no harm In the youngster sleep- Ing nn Ibe stomach. but the leg: should not be held In an abnor- mally Inward position.

Toeing-In is normal durln g the first year of life and usual- ly disappears spontaneously. Mild bowlegs also is noted. which corrects itself because the child generally becomes some- what knock-knccd after the first year of life. a condition that often continues. until the child is 4 to 8 years of age.

'l‘rue bowing occurs when the inlcrnal rotation of the lower legs and feet pcrslsts beyond the first year of life. One cauu is faulty sture attitutes: In- other is sitting between or on the feet with the knees flexed com- pletely and the hips rolled In. which can result In pigeontoo Ind apparent bowlegs.

There are other origins bowlcgs. Including metabolic disorders. Most bowlcggcd chil- dren of ycslcrycar had rickets due to a dcficicncy of vitamin D. This resulted in softening of the bones which bowed on bear- Ing weight. Rickcts has not dis- appeared entirely but the mod- ern version stems from faulty absorption of vitamin D rather than too little. After all. men families eat an adequate diet and get enough out-of-doors sun- shine.
