4 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1965.

hina’s Intransigence Canadians will go along with Affairs Minister Martin's for opposing the admission of Corifunist China to the United Na in view of the tough stand Pe- fas taken on the issue. Mr. Mar- tin that on Sept. 21 last he had repeated before the General Assem- blythat Canada supported the prin- ciplg of universal UN membership, and- would welcome the opportunity of g Communist China take a seat,in the world organization. But

onl# a few days later, at a press con- | ° ferefice on Sept. 29, Chinese Foreign

Minister Chen Yi demanded not only thags the UN expel the Chiang Kai- shek; government and thereby bless its claim on Formosa, but that it Soctity its mistakes and undergo a jrough reorganization and re- form” which would include cancel- ling- its resolution condemning Red Chia and North Korea as aggres- sors in the Korean war and pinning the=blame instead on the United tals.

These and other demands from a prospective candidate for admission to the world assembly prompted even Communist governments to wonder whether. China really. wants. to.enter-= the-United Nations. For the past year or $,.it has appeared more interested in @pposing the world body and set- ting up a rival international organiz- ation.

Tt was noticeable in the proceed- ings’ which terminated in the unfav- orable vote on Wednesday that the Soviet Union, formerly the most out- spoken of the powers in favor of seat- ing*Red China, did not play a lead- ing Tole. India, which once headed the campaign on its behalf, remained silent. Britain, which voted for Pe- king, nevertheless supported the U.S. demand that a two-thirds majority be

_ Teqwgired.

. Qn the other hand, it was signifi- cant that practically all the new na- tiong..of Africa and Asia supported membership for Communist China. Théy pressed their arguments with a

sense of urgency, prompted : by twé-developments since the last de-

- bateon: the issue—the expansion of

the Vietnam war, and the emergence

--of a-.as-a-nuclear _power.-.—Fur-.-

s0re, they claimed that the Gen- ‘Assembly was not debating ad- mission of a new member but restor- ation-of the rights of a member state —Ghina—whose government had beéh deprived of representation ever -sinée. They emphasized, above all, e they did not welcome Chin- esexCommunist interference in their ow@ affairs, they believed that peace in was unobtainable as long as Peking remained outside the UN. Phese are telling arguments, how- = reluctant we may be to acknow- p them. If the reasons for re- Ging them seem valid at this time, ™ leave little ground for complac- Sy’as to the future so far as China

of between 3 and 4 per cent, which is considerably lower than we can boast of at present. Granting the fallibil- ity of all such prognostications, we | can accept them as an encourage-

| ment to greater effort in achieving the aims whichsthe writers see con- fidently within-our reach.

On the question of our relations with our American neighbors the re- port also provides a helpful lead. There can be no doubt, it says, that any small nation as closely aligned geographically and economically to a very large country as Canada is to the United States will inevitably face ser- ious problems in maintaining her de facto political independence. The hypersensitivity to this problem in Canada, however, is “less the result of deliberate or even simply thought- nee policy than of Can-

a’s own lack of a sense of confid-

| problems.” | The authors conclude that Canada does have the opportunity of making or developing ‘‘a unique identity on the North American Continent.” This, paradoxically, arises from the present source of tension—the mix- ture of two large linguistic and cul- tural groups. “A real biculturalism, a real mixture of French and English in Canada,” we are assured, “would provide the kind of cultural climate that would set Canada distinctively and constructively apart, and create a sense of accomplishment that would offset the seductive lure of close at- tachment to the United States.”

A thought well expressed, and well worth putting into execution in the decade before us.

Words In Season The politicians and the pundits played the numbers game all through _ the late election campaign and—com- plains the Globe and Mail—they are still at it, busy as beavers, adding in- dependents to the elected 131 Liber- als and speculating about possible Liberal drafts from -Social Credit ranks for a total of 134 or more on the government benches. It be comes drearily apparent that. they are still trying to confuse us into believ- ing that there is some magic in a bare

--majority. figure.

onto contemporary, that seldom if ever during the last Parliament were all members in their seats for a vote? That influenza or other afflictions can still decimate the ranks, that par- liamentarians, singly or in groups, not infrequently go abroad, that politi- cans find it necessary to return to their constituencies to mend fences? That, in fact, whatever the final party count, they are not all going to be sitting there in the House of Com- mons, with their numbers on their faces, waiting to be tallied on every issue that arises?

Canadians filled the House, and they did it to suit themselves, not the politicians, and the politicians are going to have to put up with it. It -was hope of a majoriy for the Liber- als that plunged us into the election, and it is time that the subject was given over. Surely there are more important things to argue about now than logistics. --—-There-is-just-time; before Parlia- ment meets on January 18, for the government and the opposition parties to sort themselves and their policies

ut, for members of Parliament to do ir homework on all the issues that face us, and for-the lot of them to turn up equipped to serve us for a change, instead of their own political ends.

We subscribe to these sentiments wholeheartedly. The people of Can- ada don’t want the government to have the clear majority it demand- ed, but neither do they want to see the government's collapse and an- other election called, now or in ‘the near future. That’s the plain verdict that was rendered on November 8, and let’s hope it won’t be forgotten.

EDITORIAL NOTES

“I get sick and tired of white Rhodesians harping about their war records. It is true that 9,187 Euro- pean males and 1,510 females served in the British forces, many of them gallantly. But what we are never reminded.of is that 15,153 Africans also served.. Talk about forgotten armies!”’—Paul Johnson in the New Statesman, London,

India is said to be considering erecting a two-mile-deep barbed-wire fence along part of the border which divides Assam state from its Com- monwealth partnér, Pakistan. The fence would cost $800,000 or enough to support for a year 11,000 Indians— in a country where the threat of famine ought to be the government’s major concern.
