A Hollow Claim

Premier Castro's threat to shoot down U.S. reconnaissance planes over Cuba has received verbal sup- port from the Soviets in the United Nations. The Soviet delegate main- tained that Castro's warning against such flights was “perfectly legiti- mate". that they were a violation of Cuba's sovereignty and that such action “cannot but provoke universal condemnation.” .

Were the circumstances differ- ent. there is no doubt that this argu- ment would have validity. But not even neutral nations in the Cuban controversy are likely to be misled by the Soviet attitude in this in- stance. They are aware that Pre- mier Khrushchev himself, in his agreement to withdraw Soviet of- fensive weapons from Cuba, not only agreed to the nuclear disarmament of that country but made it subject to on-the-spot inspectionl by the United Nations. They are aware that Castro has refused to permit this inspection. despite the personal efforts of the UN Secretary-Gener- al to obtain his concurrence.

Neutral nations are aware, too, that while Soviet missiles have ap- parently been removed from Cuba, other offensive weapons of the let bomber type, with a range of some 800 miles, remain on Cuban soil and are now, reportedly. being uncrated for use.

If a “shooting incident" occurs over U.S. insistence to continue its 'reconnaislsance flights over Cuba until the threat to free world safety In the Western hemisphere is re- moved, the Communists must as- sume fllll responsibility for it. Primarily that responsibility rests with Soviet Russia. It‘has proved to the world that the Castro regime is its puppet. and its failure to n'ake good the terms of the Khrushchev agreement is proof of its duplicity rather than of any respect it may have for Cuban “sovereignty”.

4- lnclia's New Spirit

This may be India’s "finest hour.” Certainly the spirit of its people in the face of massive Chinese attack recalls Britain's magnificent response to Prime Minister Chur- chill’s exhortations not. to shrink from “blood, toil, tears and swea ” in repelling the Nazi invader from its shores. Even a few weeks ago,‘ it was hard to believe that the In- dians—so bitterly divided by rég- ional, communal and caste rivalries —wouid be able to show the kind of unity that is inspiring their actions

Not only from Wealtth individuals and businé'e’e corporations. which was to be expected, but from the poorest had most humble.

Others are collect- Ing blankets, hospital requirements and warm clothes for the troops now fighting at heights of 16,000 feet or more. ,1

It is. as Premier Nehru has said, as’if the shock of the Chinese action has brought “a new birth of the Indian spirit.” A matter of tre- mendous import. not only for India and its future, but the free world.

Unencling Ordeal

It is saddening to report that, at the University of Mississippi, the hate campaign against Negro James Meredith goes on. Having failed to deter him from attending the college by force. opponents of integration are resorting..- to more subtle methods of compelling him to leave. In the long run this may be more success- ful. One wonders. at any rate, how Meredith can stand it-or how much longer he can stand it.

Unversuy officials say this un- official snlomg at Meredith is the work of a small handful. But their failure to check it Is what is most significant. There are firecracker bombairdments. hit-and-run bottle hurlers, shouted insults at Mere- dith and the national guardsmen who still follow him everywhere. A vio- lent sheet call “Rebel Underground". distributed on the campus. calls on students to organize underground cells to encourage the unwanted student to “transfer” himself else- where.

Through it all Meredith has had little to say. He has kept his coun- sel, held his temper in the face of the nastiest insults. But the un- relenting strain must be terrific. He gets little help from anywhere— not from the faculty, apparently. and certainly not from the student body or the people of the town. If the violence and the hate is really the work of a few, the rest are too frightened to oppose them.

The Rare Exception

The Diefenbaker government is receiving press commendation, even from Liberal sources. for its action in extending protection to one domes- tic industry. The government action, though entirely unofficial, will like- ly prove effective and e v e r y o n e seems to be satisfied that it will meet a genuine need.

The people being protected are the Eskimos who derive their living from stone carvings. So popular has this Eskimo sculpture become that cheap imitations are flooding the market. The government stepped in recently when it found that a Toronto trading stamp company had included in Its premium catalogue an imitation of an Eskimo carving.

Mr. Dinsdale, the minister of northern affairs, wrote to the com- pany. pointing out that the financial returns from carving and other art are important in providing a living for theartiSts. and that imitations have an immediate and harmful ef- fect on the market for the originals. To its credit, the company withdrew its premium and is studying the possibility of replacing it with authentic Eskimo sculpture. /

The Winnipeg Free Press, which has carried a free-trade slogan on its masthead for generations, gives a stern nod of approval to this in- cident. “While paternalism on the part of governments is usually to be deplored.” it says. "it is unlikely, because of the special circumstan-' ces, that anyone will quarrel with this latest example of protection- ism." An exception that proves the rule that it ehouldn't be done, so to speak.

"I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS LOA‘DED”

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson A Photographer’s Search For Greatness

The faces of fame In this ca‘ pltal city inevitably lend to con- centrate on Parliament. Hill. But since the spotlit ranks of government are genera y filled by transients. such faces tend to move across the stage and be gone _

In contrast. one Ottawa face remains perennially prominent, as famed in 1946 as it Is today, as welcome in foreign capitals as it is well-known across Can- ada: that of a sexagenarian — looking little bald Puck. He ls the world-famous photographer of Princes and of Popes, of the great and of the glorious —- Ot- tawa‘s own Yousuf Karsh.

“Photo by Karsh" is a status- symbol wherever frames are filled. The most interesting of his portraits have been publish- ed in book form, in "Faces of Destiny" in I946 and in “Por- traits of Greatness" in 1959. He has also made the photographs to illustrate books such as “This Is Rome“ and “This is the Holy Land“.

FROM LENS 'ro PEN

Yet another “Book by Karsb" was recently the cause of 3 ga- thering of famous Ottawa faces at the Chateau Laurier honour. Mrs. Marsh Jeanneret. director of the University of Toronto Press. was host at this party to mark the launching of "In Search of Greatness", in which Yousuf Karsh changed the lens for the pen to write down his own reflections.

This is a spritely-wrilien and fascinating account of big - lights of his life. Not what he did, but whom he met. provides the interest. For be Is not the he 0. He is rather tile modern of the famous who ' camera. describing their words and iheIr deeds in his often gypsy studio. '

Typical is the neatest thumb- nail Impression of the late Prime Minister MacKenzie King which I have ever read: "King was sensitive about the compo- sition of his photographs. and Indicated that he only wanted his shoulders to show. to avoid directing attention to his ten- dency to corpulence, which however he did not refer with much humor."

Food and wine repeatedly thrust. themselves into the fore- ground of Karsh’s thoughts. for he is evident no joyless gour- mand. His pride In launching “Portraits of Greatness" ap- pears io have been matched by his enjoyment of the celebra- tion lunch at the Four Seasons restaurant in New York. whose dishes and wines he describes

.wlth tongue-rolling care.

HEAVEN FROM PRAIRIES Then too he mentions a lunch at the Prime Minister's resi- dence, after he had photograph- ed Mrs. Diefenbaker. A bottle of champagne was served be- cause his hostess “said she had heard that every time I photo- graphed someone I had to have champagne afterwards. Natur- ally I did not try to disillusion her. Mr. Diefenbaker. who is a

Kai-sh was born in Armenia in 1908. If I say he looks like a sexagenarian. it is because he was aged by his terihbly hard childhood.

President Kennedy is re- ported to be paying Increasing attention to the India - China border war and giving consi- deration to a vast arms and program for India providing he can reach a firm understanding with Prime Minister Nehru.

Just what Kennedy may have in mind is not too clear. but this much seems evident: Ken- nedy wants to see the harsh note of anti-Americanism eli- minated or toned own n In- Ia: he wants to hear Nehru

publicly declare support of U.S. ’foreign policy: and he wants to obtain convincing evidence for Congress that India Is on the side of democracy and on the side of the United States in its struggle . against nism

Nehru may not find it \easy to provide Kennedy with all that he wants. Traditionally. India has followed a policy of non-alignment. accepting help not only from the West but also from Russia. This has annoyed U.S. legislators. More annoying was the biting criticism of U.S. policy voiced by V. K. Krishna Menon. Nehru‘s former minister.

common than 1 diabetes and rheumatic fever among smallfry. An upsurge of emo- tional problem; appears to be the most logical explanation.

Dr. Margaret Prouty of Mad- Ison. Wis. and her colleague, Dr. Dorothy Oakley, diagnosed

4 new cases of ulcer In young- sters in the 12 month period end- Ing March, 1961. All had X-ray evidence to prove It. Many had one parent with ulcer and, in one family. three children and both parents were afflicted.

Dr. Prnuty says the majority In this series were Intelligent children but they were perfec- tionists who "want everything justright." These boys and girls were highstrung and jlttery as a rule. with strong needs for praise. appreciation, and love. The craters eloped when there were personality clashes or other emotional problems. One of. the group was a 6% year old boy who had been bothered for more than a year with abdominal distress. Hos- pitalization was advised when pain became more severe awakening him at night. Stom- ach X-rays revealed an ulcer. The lad came from a family where the mother was emotion- ally disturbed and the father insecure. He usually gave in to his wife's judgment, which was not as sound as his because she was riddled with fears. She blamed the father for the child‘s condition. The nurses in the hospital said the youngster was smart alccky and talked back frequently. Pain subsided but returned soon after he got home. Dr. Prniity lost track of th 9 family but was pleasantly sur- prised when the mother and sun came to the offficc 8“: months later. calm and relaxed. The mother told of having developed a lung condition that required 212 months of hospital care. The father took over at home and. for the first time. he and his son began to understand each , other. They became friends and i enjoyed doing things togeth- ,er. The child's ulcer healed. lpai’n disappeared and everyone iwas apny. . Studies have shown that the iulcer personality is not easily i changed. There is a 50-50 chance Etbat a duodenal ulcer beginning lin childhood will erupt again in iadillthood. Victims of this dis- iease apparently have a stom- lach that overrcacis to emotion- al upheavals.
