DISTURBING ASPECT

A disturbing aspect of the sit.

uation is the information ‘that the vaccination of infants some years ago ceased ‘to be compii-

| sory in Britain. Only a very mig

taken sense of security could have led to this retrograde step which has not been explained, but it is true that always there have been some people “so op. posed to vaccination that they never have ceased trying to be

ill following their arrival. In the

days, in travelling by ship,

they would have been striken

influential in putting @ stop te

ignorance.

Khrushchev’s Fallibility

Premier Khrushchev’s confes- | sion of fallibility, both on behalf or himself and of the Russian | Communist Party, can be inter-

_While in the Ukraine recently, he asked agriculture officials to | tell him when he was wrong. | Mr. P.A Vlasyk, president of |

stand that question altogether correctly.’ If you can explain te me how to correctly understand & question, then E would thank you.

The important point in the statement is that’ Khrushchev has departed far from the Stalin doctrine of infallibility. It is rea- sonable to suppose that he feels he can afferd to do so because he thinks that both he and the come Party in Russia ave far more ular. support than Stalin did. ee
