Flue—c FRIDAI'JMAARCH ______._.__,_...___ NATO Reappraisal

A new period of “agonizing re- appraisal" is being faced by the NATO powers at Paris, this time on the subjcct of how to develop a multinational nuclcar control sys- tem. Presidcnt Kcnncdy has said that some sort of multinational con- trols must come. but no one has. spelled out just how they could be developed. L'ntil now the L'nited States has insisted that Britain and France put their nuclear arms un- der NATO, where the U.S. has a veto; but it would rctain sole con- trol over its great nuclear dcter— rent without giving anyone in NATO a veto. President de (laulle has refused to go along with this policy.

It is now proposz by Washing- ton that some. nuclcar weapons should be assignan to a NATO coun- cil for its dircvtion and usc when needed. The US. would still retain control over the bulk of its nuclear force, but its part ncrs would at least have the strength to hold Moscow and some other Soviet (‘itics under threat as a dotcrrcnt to Russian aggression. The dclcgates at Paris have the strength to hold Moscow President Kennedy’s NATO defense envoy, to present thcir views on the best. way to establish such a force.

West Germany poses a problem here. which is not likely to be re- Solved easily. I‘Ivcn de (laullc. who wants West Gcrmany as France's major part nor in a European power bloc. doesn’t want, the Germans to get the bomb. In spite of his new friendship pact with (‘hancelloi Adenauer he is not, willing to go that. far. And there is no doubt that if Germany wore given nuclear Weapons, it could bring violcnt re- action from Russiawpcriiaps even some sort of preventive war.

Most Europcan Icadcrs. however. seem to have much less fear of Russia and its intcntions than has the. American govol‘nmenl. They think that the Americans are so strong that thr-y should have little to fear. and thcv resent constant American warnings and advice. But. the fact remains that hardly anyone in I‘I'tt'opé‘. oven de (laulle, believes he would be safe without America's power and cit-operation.

Harold Wilson. newly elected head of Britain’s liabor party, he... lieves that Europe should rely upon the American deterrent and “stand fairly and squarcly with NATO." The question to be ri‘solvcd. how- ever. is jusr what kind of a deter- rent. policy—in armament. com- mand structure and finance—NATO really wants.

A Fine Appointment

The appointment of Dr. A.\V.H. Needler to the post of deputy min- ister of the Federal Department of Fisheries is a matter of interest to Prince Edward Islanders, who have good reason to value llr. Nccdler's outstanding ability as a fishch scientist. The thirty—five years he has devoted to studying fishing re. sources on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts have given him a wealth of experience which probably no official has every previously possessed. The fact that last month he was named chairman of the fisher-- iea research committee of the Un- ited Nations Food and Agriculture Organization shmvs that his reputa- tion has spread far beyond Canada.

It was back in 1928 that Dr. Needler was commissioned by the then Biological Board of Canada (now the Fisheries Research Board) h launch a large-scale attempt at a .

._ -AI. . _.

rehabilitation of the oyster indus- try of this Province. He was en- gaged in this work until 1941, and in the intervening years the present biological station at Ellerslie wsi built and became the centre of oys- ter research. Oldtimers will recall that a boathouse was used as a head- quarters for this work until the permanent building was erected.

Dr. Needler was assisted from the start by his wife. Dr. A.B. Needler, a ranking biologist in her own right. They enlisted the support of the former big oyster growers and were helped by various season- al assistants and by the coopera- tion of the Department of Fisheries; but there was much rough and hard work ahead before any success could be scored.

Dr. Needler's studies revealed that the survivors of the epidemic which had laid waste our oyster beds possessed an immunity which they could pass on through many generations of descendants. The problem of re-population then be- came one of expanding this tiny fraction of the original population to reasonable size again. Oyster cul— ture methods from all over the. world were studied and tested and new techniques particularly suitable to the Malpeque Bay area were devis- ed. The growers were induced to conduct larg-scale trials, and this work prospered so well that by .1946 production had risen to 7,000 bar- rels annually.

Dr. Neeitler went from here to direct the Atlantic Biological Stat- ion at St. Andrews, N.R., with jur- isdiction over most fisheries re- search in the Maritimes. Later he held a double role as director of the station and assistant deputy minister of the. department. and still later moved to the West Coast research station where he was re- sponsible for the development of studies on salmon, halibut and her- ring stocks in the Pacific. As indicat- ed in our news report of yesterday, he has worked on seven internation- al commissions studying world fish- eries problems.

A brilliant and fruitful career for a man who is still only 56 years of age. His future is an equally promising (.116. and we extend to Dr. Needler our warmest good wishes for success on this occasion.

This New Age

(‘auada has started to improve the muscularity of pigs by judicious application of electric shocks. This. notes the Ottawa Journal, is not because anyone wants stronger hogs. The benefit of exercise for hogs is that the proportion of lean meat, increases and the resulting bacon looks better in the frying pan.

The word from the Agriculture Department is that very mild shocks were given the pigs under test at the experimental farm at Nappan, N.S., but one animal given electri- cal stimulation on the left side and not on the other soon had ’muscles on the left 20 per cent larger than they were.

Which prompts The Journal to suggest that. if this can be done for pigs, why can’t it be done for hu- mans? In an age where there are markets for electric tooth brushes there must also be the opportunity for machines that build muscles electrically. “Imagine a few restful minutes with a muscle-bidding elec- trical machine instead of these weal-isome nightly exercises? If we were the Nappan experimenters we'd drop our interest in lean bacon and seek our fortune among fat humans."

Perhaps it will Come to that yet.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Health Minister Monteith be- lieves the splinter parties are more important issues in the upcoming federal election than the frayed Canadian-American relations. He thinks these splinter parties should be “sanded down”; but. like the rest. of us, he is not. sure how this can be done.

I i! I!

At the United Nations, Soviet- bloc scientists have been pooh- poohing the idea of a population ex- plosion, as predicted by their West- ern counterparts. They sav the world has enough resources for a population that would grow for “de- cades and centuries," and that well before any crisis mankind will have learned how to get resources from other planets. This is one Commun- ist “line” which we hope will vindi- cate itself 100 per cent.

IT’S WINTER CARNIVAL TIME

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson

Castro-style Uprising Feared In Hoiii

As the New World is the sym- bol of hope for “the tired. th 9 poor, the huddled masses of the Old World yearning to breathe free," so the nadir of hnpclcss- ness must be Haiti. the republic whore negro slaves first breath- ed free in this rave New World.

170 years of blood . bcspattcr- ed history in that lOl’pld Carib- hcan country may soon. it is feared here. be capped by Castro - style uprising.

Haiti occupies the western one - third of the island of His~ paniola. It is half the size of our province of Nova Scotia, and would fit comfortably into Lake Eric. Yet it is the home of over four million descen- dants of slaves transported from the Congo and West Africa. Poor in dcvclopmcnt and re- sources. Haitii contrasts sadly evcn with its neighbour, the Dominican Repu ' Bit he most sophisticated tourist could the exotic overtones and care- free laughter of Haiti. Vivid co- lours. strange customs and fri- ghtening folklore make Haiti an exciting land for the who is sated with look - alike motels. tasteless hamburgers and conformist Babbits.

GliORIOl'S ENDEAVOUR

Haitians prattle thc language Inherited from their former Frcncli plantation overlords. From the same source th cy have acccptcd the Catholic rcli- gion, but with a strange ambi- dextrous faith they still bclicvc in voodooism and black magic transported from the Congo.

They are justifiably proud f the world's most magnificent fortress. built of granite by the great negro cmpernr Henri Christophe. large enough to house 10.000 warriors. and tow. ering like the menacing prow of a huge steamship above Cap Haitien. The tropical jungle has wrought havoc with the beauli» ful palace of Sans Souci whose columns and arches and sweep- ing staircases were intended by Henri Christophe to compare 'in elegance with those of any pal- ace in Europe.

And here. to build up the self- respccl of his newly liberated subjects. the emperor created a negro aristocracy. filling his palace with peers with impro- bablc titles — the (‘ount of Mar- malade and the Count of Lcm~ onade — and the Knights of SI. chri resplendent in scarlet robes and plume-d headdress.

If that dream crumbled. at least the presidential palace in Port-au-Prtncc remains a sight to impress every visitor. In ar-

dazzling whiteness. I would rare it far superior to that shack be- side the Potomac River no w called “home” by the Kcnnedys. Nor do Haitians forget th at their army of ex-slaves, brilli- antly led by Henri Christophe and other "generals," inflicted upon the forccs of Napoleon his first defeat, when he tried to suppress their revolt.

LIQUOR ENOUGH NOW

Sin—While reading today's Guardian I saw where the chart» gas in liquor laws are believed acceptable here. One cabinet minister feels that because there has not been any reccnt protest that ‘il is an that Islanders are ready to ac- cept a change. I would like to

state that as one who has p ro- ‘

tested from time to time pre- vlously, I am beginning to feel. that when those who are in pow- er do not think as we do. our ef- forts ere futile. There are many who must feel the same way.

It was a little encouraging to see that, our Prbmier feels that no change should be made be- fore an inquiry is carried on but at the same time a disap- pointment some time ago whcn our Premier made the state— ment that a new liquor store is bound to come.

Ido not feel that we should take Nova Smile and New Brunswick as examples for our liquor laws. Only today I heard on a news broadcast that there Is a large increase in the Juven- lle delinquency taloen before the court this past year In Nova Scotia.

Tonsil-Adenoid Operations Near

Two Million

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen Two million mum- mies are done in this country each year. according to esti- mates. This sounds like a lot of surgery but the operation is so controversial, modern physi- cians must h ve for recommending it before ob- taining the consent of the pat- ient or the patients.

Many Indications exist for re- moving diseased tonsils and adenoids, despite the fact they have a function to perform. The throat is encircled by lymphoid tissue that acts as a barrier infection. The tonsils and ade- nrolds form only part if the ring. These structures tend to enlarge during childhood. the youngster makes his Initial contacts with the bacteria and viruses.

The cells concerned with im- munity develop in lymph tis- sue and. for this reason, ton- sils and adenoids grow larger at this time of life and return to normal size later.

But this defense mechanism often backfires. The swollen adenolds may obstruct the nose and encourage mouth breath- ing. In addition. enlarged ton- sils harbor micro-organisms and act not only as a local source of disease but encourage infections elsewhere in the body. As a re- sult, the child has recurrent colds with sniffling, nasal dis- charge. bronchitis, croup. or sinus trouble.

Infected tonsils and adenotds give off a fetid odor and may be responsible for symptoms of toxicity such as mental dull- ness, gastrointestinal disorders. poor appetite, disturbed sleep. and night terrors. Facial de-
