on research into the diseases of child-

treatment of such diseases. In no

murmurs of agreement. has it been

"more apparent that action of this

kind should be taken.

“I believe,” he added, “that this is a major step forward in achieving that relationship between the Queen

_and her subjects which represents something mystical and yet real, which was so apparent two days ago “at the opening of the St. Lawrence waterway when she represented the people of Canada, and in co-opera- tion with the President of the Un- ited ‘States- gave an exemplification of co-operation which might well be

the hope of other parts of the world. .

In her person she represents the unity of our nation within the (om- monwealth, and in the personification of her position through funds such -ag this she typifies the essence of democracy, for the benefit of all her subjects.” ‘Mp. Pearson, fully - concurring, expressed belief that. “as a_ result the children who have been wel- coming Her Majesty the Queen with

such unrestrained enthusiasm and ;

who have shown no’ trace -of jindjf- ference’ to her visit will in -fu- ture, because of the passing of this legislation, have even greater cause to welcome that visit.” : And Mr. Herridge, for the C.C.F. party, trusted that “from this token of affection for Her Majesty, this hgppy thought, this common sense measure, which has our unanimous ‘ g@pproval,’ and from this mutual ex- pression of our common humanity will flow an ever-increasing stream of-benefits for children of today and generations yet unborn.”

The Poplarville Case.

Thé eyes of the world will rest

upon Mississippi, says the Milwau- ‘| Ree Journal, Until it’does something |

effective to clear its record in the Poplarville case. It is now nine weeks since Mark Charles Parker a Negro awaiting trial for rape of a white woman, was dragged from the Pearl County jail by masked men. It is over seven weeks since his body was discovered on the bank of, the Pearl River and a coroner’s jury found he had died of. gunshot the

' Of the better; and.it is to be hoped, for the good’ name of our American neighbors, that strict justice will be meted out. A good example was set in the conviction at Tallahassee, Florida, of four young white men ‘ accused: of criminally attacking a . Negro college’ coed. The Poplarville case has yet to be’ tried, and we would not. therefore suggest -what

When Presid- ent Eisenhower entered Canada to take part in the ceremonies, he dis- carded his Secret ‘Service escort, and - drove about the Montreal suburbs, unguarded.

Never within living g memory has a President appeared in public in a United States city without his re- tinue of specially trained and armed protectors. On his own ‘soil, he is guarded 24 hours a day. Nor is the precaution: an idle one: three United States Presidents have been assas- ‘sinated during the last century, and attempts have been made on the lives of many — most recently Mr. Harry Truman. | —

In dispensing with ‘this practice in Canada, Mr.- Eisenhower, and those responsible for his safety, paid this country thé supreme compli- ment. During their current tour Her Majesy«the Queen and Prince Philip have also been moving about Canada without armed protection—

_the honor guards drawn up at var-

- jous places are purely ceremonial. Nor is this security enjoyed by the Royal Family alone. Prime Ministers and Cabinet members have always been able to dispense with body- guards and walk in the streets like. anyone else. Not since the shooting of D’Arcy McGee in 1868 has a

: Canadian’ public man died by assas-: sination.

While priding ourselves .on this matter, it is perhaps: better if we ac- cept it without undue boasting—

*as a matter~of course, rather than something that entitles us to draw odious comparisons.

THE RESTLESS AIRWAVES

The Crown Of

Maby letters have been receiv- ed from: readers regarding the Royal Tour. They are written from many points of view. Some are critical of the tour in ways the writers believe to ‘be con structive; they are not opposed to the tour itself, but to the man- agement of it. But. other critical letters seem to be based upon conditions that long ago passed away.

It is said at times that such a Royal Tour has in it something of humiliation, of subservience. It means th anadians must show, allegiance to an old and outinod- ed. authority. The suggestion is that once the country becomes sufficiently mature, once Cana- dians become sufficiently inde- pendent, such Royal Tours will become unthinkable. The Queena might be welcomed as a foreign dignitary, but not as having any superior position in Canada it- self. ‘

STRANGE FACT cide

The strange fact about such a point of view is that it requires a blindness to all that has been taking place over the years. So far from independence as‘a na- tion being incompatible with al- legiance to the Crown, the Crown has become the Crown of the Commonwealth ‘of Nations, the very symbol of the independence and freedomi of their associa-

Presidential D

President Eisenhower's drink- ing habits sometimes amaze those who entertain for him—and discouragé the distillers. é

Certainly no president in re- cent years has cared less about whisky. This is relatively unusual in the sophisticated cocktail so- ciety of a world capital. :

Left to his‘ own devices, Mr. Eisenhower might take a thin scotch and water before dinner, -but that is about all.” He doesn't drink beer. oes

For the most part he passes up wine at banquets except for a ceremonial sip when a toast is proposed. At a state banquet in the White House for a visiting potentate, he is served each wine | course, but he does no more than | taste them out of- politeness: No wine is served when he and-Mrs. Eisenhower dine along--~ ee.

Sometimes, after” a formal dinner at the White House, -when the men leave the ladies bricfly for cigars and ‘liqueurs, Mr. Eisenhower may take a creme de menthe frappe to carry around , with him as he talks with his guests. . vee FAVORITE BRANDS

The presidentt has one or, two favorite brands of scotch. Away from the White House, his hosts usually have.enough of the stuff to float the Nautilus.

There have been numerous oc- casions' when the ptesident. deli- berately delayed his arrival in order to reach the banquet just+in time_for dinner, leaving the hosts with a fine collection of unopen- ed bottles. . . uo
