race: a rn1na_i_r._ocroai=:s 267,192. Mr. Thanl's Proposals When national fears and pas-

sions are aroused. words of wisdom

are likely to go unheeded. This, we

‘trust, will not be the case with the

profoundly moving statements of

Acting Secretary-General U Th-ant

on the Cuban crisis at the United

Nations Security Council meeting on

Wednesday.

“What. is at stake,” Mr. Thant reminded his hearers, “is not just. the interests of the parties involved. nor just the interests of all mem- ber states. but the very fate of man- kind. If today the United Nations should prove itself ineffective, it may have proved itself so for all time.” i

The A c t l n g Secretary-General

pleaded for suspension, on the one :hand, of the U8. naval blockade and, on the other, of the Soviet Un- ion’: armed shipments into the Caribbean island. He noted some common ground in the rival reselli- ;tions presented by the U.S. and ‘Russia on the Cuban question, and urged the two world leaders to seize ithi-s point of agreement and order Exiegotiations. He spoke at the re- iqueet of forty-five non-aligned coun- ltriee, and offered his own services tee mediator in any manner that was frequind. ,, To our American neighbors, in jthe heat of an election campaign ‘in which the Cuban issue looms ‘large, these words may sound like ;ple.titudea. We do not think history confirm that judgment. What- ever the day or the hour may bring forth.‘ they are on record as the voice '0! mankind at this fateful juncture. i One point in connection with 7Preeident Kennedy's charges could, :end should, be cleared up without idelay. Granting that the Cuban mie- iaile bases constitute a threat to the :entire Western hemisphere and must The dealt with, is this threat immi- lnent or is it potential? In other iwio rd s, are the missiles equipped _ with the nuclear warheads which }. 3would make them effective? The ZU.S. reconnaissance photographs fehowed no evidence of w a r h e a d e. But they are small things; they ‘could easily be concealed. They .might be there. They might still be {on their way from Russia. Or they ‘might never have been sent at all. i'.l‘he United States is not certain.

: Surely, as an immediate meas-

lure, the Security Council could de-

glmend an investigation and show- ldown on this cardinal question. It yoould do so during the breathing uapell which Mr. Thant has proposed. l.And. of course, refusal on Gubela iperl: to permit U.N. inspection for l._thie' purpose would tell tremendous-

have to eteel ourselves to the task before us." he said. "Perhaps we have been too soft and taken things for granted. but freedom can never ‘be taken for granted."

This is something the Western powers tried to tell Mr. Nehru back in Korean War days, when he scoff- ed at their warnings that it would be a mistake to let Red Chinese ag- gression there be rewarded by pos- session of half the country. in an interview with A Washington cor- respondent in 1951, Mr. Nehru said: “You don’t understand C h l n e s a thinking. Merton has been talking with them. There is little doubt that the only reason the Red Chinese got involved in Korea was that they felt their security to be threatened when your armies approached the Yalu. The Chinese are not basically aggressive. They have too much to do at home."

Last week Defense Minister Menon told newsmen: “No one has tried harder than I to understand the Chinese.” He had to confess that only now was the pattern of Chinese defense becoming clear to him. “On the one hand. they were suggesting talks for a peaceful settlement and on the other they were preparing for a surprise attack and large scale aggression against our country."

India was preoccupied with its own troubled affairs. The Communist threat seemed far away, and Mr. Nehru and Mr. Menon could view it with philosophic detachment. Now they have concluded that with Pe- king, one concession leads only to the demand for another, or they would not have ordered their troops to use force in defending their own side of the ‘McMahon line defining the Sino-lndlan boundary.

in this shrunken world. it is not only India's interests that are in- volved in the Himalayan challenge. Red China, with its massive popu- lation and modern technology, may soon have the atomic bomb, and become perhaps an even more for- midable enemy to Western civiliza- tion than Soviet Russia.

School Commanclmenis

Alberta's Premier Manning, speaking at a recent dinner of the Canadian Association of Sch ool Superintendents and Inspectors in Edmonton, outlined “a layman's Ten Commandments" f or professional educationists. Here they are:

“Thou shalt teach my child to read, so that he will be able to find the worthwhile knowledge and wis- dom of the ages. Thou shalt teach my child to analyze and compute, so that he will be able to arrive at satisfactory conclusions. Thou shalt teach my child the secret of effect- ive expression, either by spoken or written word, allowing him to im- -part knowledge he haez gained for the benefit of society.

“Thou shalt teach my child to appraise values, so that he will de- cide wisely each problem he faces in life. Thou shalt teach him to re- spoof; the rights and needs of others. Thou shalt teach him to respect work and enterprise as virtues and not look down on those who work by their hands and consider them beneath those who work with their brains.

“Thou shalt not destroy my child's belief in the eternal veritiee of life. Thou shalt not teach him that this life and what it offers and contains is the end of all his exist- ence and purpose of I-iving. Thou ehalt teach my child to assume ra- eponsibility and recognize his re- aponeibility to society for his decis-

my- child that time is a depleting assets, so that he will use his hours effectively." I

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Canada's Sovereignty And Status Symbols

Two tepa to make manifest Canada’: sovereignty were pro- minent among the proposals an- nounced in the Throne Speech at the opening of this session of Parliament.

First. the Governor General told his audience in the senate Chamber. the government will seek agreement of the provin- cial governments to steps tended to “repati-late" the cou- atltutlon of Canada. second, the government will in to the pro-

ncee to a confe eultation regarding the choice of a national flag and other na- tional symbols".

It is being suggested here that the symbols of nationality com- prise primarily a flag, and an- them. and decorations and me- dalls with which a n reward its natlmala and others; for special aerviéee.

European Reaction

I-.‘urope'a reaction to United States ‘moves in Cuba unites sympathetic understanding with wary reluctance and a pinch of bewilderment.

t the government level. the instinctive tendency is to close ranks in a crisis, to avoid doing or saying anything that would make matters difficult for Pres- ident Kennedy. But behind this solidarity there are some genu- ine reaervations and a good deal of concern ‘
