A New llSouncI“

From Toronto comes word. of a new and delightful “sound” in inter- national relations. It will come from a violin built this year in‘the Soviet Ukraine and played this season by ~Morris Biniowsky, a 35-year old mem-, ber of the Toronto Symphony Orches- tra.

Mr. Biniowsky’s father, a native

of the Ukraine and a'railway ‘worker.

in Winnipeg for many years, has had an interest in violins all his life'. Two years ago he saw in qne of his home- land papers an advertisement by Alexander Molcanov, 'a master violin maker of Odessa. He wrote to ask how much a violin for his son. would cost. Some months later the father was informed that the violin was being made and would be presented to “the people of Canada” through his son Morris. Mr. Molcanov called the violin “Volga”, for its size and richness of itone. John Dubno of Vancouver, who 'was recently in Odessa, received the violin to give to Mr. Biniowsky. It is. valued at $1500. '-_ - p

The Toronto musican says that he hopes “no one Will place any political

interpretatidn on this. violin.” We'

hope so, ,too. It is a fine gesture .of

goodwill, and we. doubt not thatmosb

Canadians ,‘will see it in that light. Perhaps if there were more shch

gestures—both ways—the diplomats '

would have a better chance of build-

ing up some measure of international ,

understanding. . \

Surpluses‘ , The general council of the UN. Food and Agricultural

to co-ordinate price support pol- icies to combat increasing agricul- tural surpluses.” It not-es that “priceygsuppOrt problems are the heart of the problem of surpluses which are becoming an ever incrcas- ing burden.” ,

According to the report, the volume of agricultural trade‘decreas-\ ed last year. This year, production is rising faster than the rise in con- sumption and larger surpluses are in prospect. The chief surpluses now are butter, wheat, coarse grains and coffee. ' '

All this, no doubt, is technically correct. But in strict fact, in terms of human need, there is no such thing as a surplus pound of butter, wheat, grain or coffee or any other food product. It is all needed, and more, to feed the hungry people of the world. The problem is how to remove the so-called “surpluses” from where they are stored and, in many cases, spoiling, and put them where hungry people could make good use of them.

This is where Mr. Diefenbaker’s “food bank” would come in handy. Not much has been heard about this idea lately. Perhaps, in his world tour, the Prime Minister will be able to convince other Govern- ment, leaders of its practicability.

Mailer Oi Diplomacy

A report from Geneva, where talks on the ending of nuclear tests are going on, reveals that American and British negotiators are wor- ried over the propaganda effect of the Soviet Union’s position. They have good reason to. be; for, from the start, the advantage has been with the Russians. , .

There is little doubt that the main body of world opinion is sympathetic to the Russian View that tests should be ended for all time and not ,merlzly on a year to year basis, as the Western powers have suggested. This is particularly true of the people of Asia and Africa, whom the Russians are especially trying to impress. .

Western diplomats are trying to find some, little favour for their year- to-year proposal by drawing at- tention to the fact that the Russians have exploded at least two devices since the talks began on Oct. 31. But this will probably carry little “night, for the simple reason that. the Russians can argue that they are doing what the British and the

. I, Organiza- ~ tion says that “there is urgent need.

I

americans did when they—-the Rus- SiallSm-maIlmulrlt'ed an ending of the tests last March.

Admittedly, the two Western powers are in a tight spot. If they adhere to their present stand, there will be no agreement; and they will be blamed for the failure. If they com— promise with the Russians, as it seems they are likely to do, the Rus- sians will be able to say that that is confirmation of the practicability of their original position.

It all comes down to a matter of diplomatic skill. It surely ought to be possible for the West to convince the non-Soviet world that control is necessary to any agreement that might be reached. Apparently they

' have not succeeded so far, The Unit-

ed States has never been; masterful in diplomacy, mainly because most of its diplomats are taken from pri- vate business and industry, with little or no training in the complex art. But for hundreds of' years the British have had a high reputation in that field. It seems, however, that in this case'they have fallen down on the job. Perhaps American influ- ence on method has been‘too great.

Electrical Nerves '

. There is further promise of good ~

news .for the deaf. Science Digest Magazine reports that electrical nerves have been successfully sub- stituted for real ones. The application of a magnet wrapped with coil of fine silver wire has been successful in restoring hearing to a totally deaf man. . ‘ I

This is the gist of the report: “Dr. Andre Djourno of-the Faculty of Medicine in Paris conceived the idea of embedding tiny electromagnets perinanently in living tissue and con- necting these magnets to a nerve.

. When current is applied the nerve ‘ is excited into action. Several years

of experiments with, rabbits and other

' animals proved that, the nerves were

not injured by the presence of such a foreign body. In early ".1957 a. tiny coil was placed behind the temporal

v bone in the temporal muscle of the

ear of a man who had been totally deaf.

“The doctors had little confidence that the‘operation would succeed, but the deaf man ‘heard’ several words that he recognized almost at once when they were spoken into a micro-

. phone. After a year of experiment

he [is now able to’distinguish almost three-fourths of the words spoken

._ to him, and the operation is .consid'er-

ed to have been a great success”. Thus does medical research go for-

ward in its program of bringing help

and hope to the disabled.' ‘

The Nizam of Hyderadab, once the world’s richest man and still high on the list, has signified his inten- tion of retiring from public life to devote his time to his family. Since he is the father, of more than 200 children, that will be no easy task, either. ‘ ‘

Prime Minister Verwoerd of South Africa told his National Party’s con- ference that “the climate has never been better for the establishment of a South African Republic". What’s he waiting for then? He isn’t hold- ing back out of any respect for the Commonwealth tie; and its seems unlikely that other members would deeply regret his departure.

It is reported that Maritime fish exports to the ‘Dominican Republic are being subjected to competition from European suppliers. This Pro- vince is especially interested in this development, as most of the bake and much of the herring that go to the Latin American country are produced here. The main thing is to keepouai- ity on a high level. if that. is done, the, lower costs of production in West Europe might not interfere unduly with our export trade.

FAREWELL FROM OTTAWA i

A large crowd gathered at Ot» tawa airport to wish the Prime»

Minister “Bon Voyage" as he leﬁt on his eight-week 35,000- mile, world-‘girclling tour.

His Cabinet was there in force, many with their wives. Only one» back~bench colleague from Piar- liamenttmubled topay him the courtesy of a farewell, the ubiquitous and smiling John Hamilton of Toronto. I I

All the foreign diplomats were here with their wives, and the Prime Miiniser shook his way down the needlessly long line of outstretched hands: protocol calls for the presence on such 'occasions only of the ambassa- dor from each country to‘ be visited. - .

As, the plane departed, many thought with anxiety of a similar world tour, in 1954, from the rig- ouns of which our tlhen Prime Minister never seemed to Te~ cover fully. And the question mark again raised itself: Is our present Prime Minister driving himself too hard?

‘ NATO Under Criticism

By

Ed Simon

Canadian Press Staff Writer i

The North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization, approaching its 10th birthday. hasn’t made up its mind . yet what it would like to be when it grows up. Several of its uncles and godfathers are offering un- solicited and conﬂicting advice.

NIATO’s latest hornilics have come from Viscount Montgomery of Alaxmein, ‘who wants it to take up a full-time military career. and from France's Premier de Gaulle, who would like to see it go into politics.

Up to now, the organizationuhas done a little of both and has daIb- bled .t.o a lesser extent in science and economics. Montgomery, in particular, feels it's lhllgil'] time it settled down and learned a little soldierly discipline.

EXCLUSIVE CLUB

The, forthright Ifield marshal, in stepping down as NIATO’s deputy supreme commander, was clearly concerned with the organization's task of defending Western Europe when he labelled it “complicated, cumbersome and grossly over- staffed.” .

He is characteristically impa- tient with NATO‘s political wran- gles and is uninterested in discus- sions about trade or scientiﬁc co- operation on the nonamilitany level.

FUTURE ROLE

De Gaulle. on the other hand. sees NATO as a kind of exclusive United Nations, with the Soviet bloc and‘otlhcr “awkward” Imem-

bars excluded, .ln'which France should play a prominent role.

Insofar as its membership con- sists of 15 independent countries with interests that frequently con- flict, NATO is an imperfect in- strument of policy in any sphere.

Its immediate reason for exist- ence is their common desire to protect Western Europe from mil- itary aggression. Insofar as Com- munist expansion has been suc- cessfully halted at its borders, that objective has been success- fully achieved. .

But there is a wide divergence of views on how the organization should go on achieving it. The Scandinavian pow'ers are sharply at variance with the United States on the role of nuclear weapons in future defence plans. The US. and Britain are unenthusiastic about France‘s plan to develop its own H-Ibomb.

ECONOMIC AIMS

' In the political sphere, the or- ganization has, at various times, proved too small and too large to cope with the issues before it. It has been equally incapable of settling a dispute among three of

its own members—Britain, Tor--

key and Greece-dover the future of Cyprus and of playing a deci- sive role in the extraterritorial problems of the Middle East and the two Chinas.

NATO has played a modestly successful part in encouraging ex- change of scientific information

Well, don‘t be so sure. E v e n we doctors can‘t. diagnose a case. of rheumatoid arthritis just like that.

ONLY NATURAL I

It's natural, I suppose, for many persons to think about tne nation‘s Number 1 Criippler the minute a joint becomes painful. This is especially true when rheu- matoid arthritis already is in the family, since there is a speCIflc hereditary tendency in th e disease.

But a painful joint. isn't enough evidence that the trouble is this disabling form of arthritis, In fact, the American Rheumatism Association lists a total of 11 sym- ptoms. ‘

HERE ARE SYMPTOMS

They are:

1. Morning stiffness.

2. Pain on motion or tender- ness in at least one joint as ob- served by a physician. .

3. Swelling in at least one jalnt as observed by a physician.
