A Stipulation Removed

‘ ~Some months ago Prime Minister Diefenbaker informed Premier Khru- shchev of the Soviet Union that ,he would be welcomed to Canada to at- t‘enda summit meeting or for some other important reason, provided he first allowed free elections in the satellite States. Recently Mr. Diefen- baker told the Commons that the stipulation had been removed.

‘It is well that the stipulation was removed. We. think it would have been better still if it had never been made. Canada, like other free“ nations, is interested and must continue to be interested in free elections in the Soviet satellites. But there is nothing that Canada can do to bring these electiOns about. The‘United States and Britain eXplored that idea long ago and found it unrealistic. Mr. John Foster Dulles went so far as to pro- miss the satellites freedom, a promise which was absurd on the face of‘it.

, He withdrew it, but not before it had raised false hopes in the minds of the captive peoples. What Britain and the United States were unable to do by diplOmatic thrusts and manoeuvers,

. Canada is in no position to attempt. '

It is no service to any people to hold out the hope of freedom without giv- ing reasonable assurance that the hope can be realized. Proof of this, if proof be needed, was played out tra- gically in Hungary. , _ NewFoundIand Trade

. On a recent visit to this Province the Hon. Mr. Ballem, N ewfoundland’s

Minister of Labour, referred to the

big’business that his Province does in Prince Edward Island agricultural products and to his disappointment in not finding‘Newfoundland products in any variety or quantity-on the: shelves of Island stores.

This imbalance of trade between the two Provinces isneither necess- ary nor ecopomically sound. It is‘ not necessary because there are many Newfoundland ‘products which could be purchased by Islanders to their ad- vantage. It. is not economically sound because one of these days the ‘New— foundland people are going to, lose patience over our eagerness to sell to them the things we. produce and our reluctance to put the trade on a rea- sonably reciprocal basis. . There is a good deal of dissatisfaction over the situation, ' judging by comments which appear from time to time in the Newfoundland press. '

A few years ago, following the ap- pointment of a P.E.I. trade agent in Newfoundland, Newfoundland tinned salmon—just to mention one super- ior product—came here in fairly large quantity. Today it is almost im- possible to find it. Why should this

be? There are also manufactured'

items, such as rubber boots, rope, gloves, knitth wear and the like which, experts say, can hold their own with similar goods produced on the mainland. Yet, they are virtually unknown here. ' ' -

Newfoundland is too good a cus-

tomer, to be treated with indifference. '

"Importance OI Oil lunch is being said and written these daysabout the West’s interest

in Middle East oil. Sometimes, the

Comments suggest that there is some-

tect their oil interests in that area. There is no doubt, of course, that a good deal, perhaps most, of the trouble in the Middle East can be traced to oil. If there were no oil in the region it. certainly would be a much calmer region than it is. But Middle East oil is not merely an econ- ' omic advantage to Britain and West-

ern Europe. It is the one thing they

haVe to keep their industrial system working. Without it, the economy of Western Europe—and Britain—would be shattered beyond repair; for it can- be replaced, economically and over

and South America. .

,IfE'When we read, therefore, that Bidtain is prepared, at any» risk, to

protect its oil interests in the Kuwait ‘

area, the area which is now threaten- ed by the United Arab Republic and where the next crisis will probably arise, we must keep in mind that this is a part, a. very important part, of

long“ ‘peri‘od'of‘ time by oil from ’

lip”

Britain’s defence. Every nation has the right to defend itself from attack; and certainly any interference with oil from Kuwait, Britain’s main sup- plier and one of the biggest producing areas in the world, could be regarded as an attack on the British people——

' just as serious as if food supplies,

were cut off. . I

Other British oil interests are concentrated in Iraq, Iran, and Q’AtA at (one of the Persian Gulf states). In Iran, British companies found oil as long ago as 1908. In Iraq, develop- ' ment started‘in 1925. In the Kuwait field commercial production began in 1945. . ‘

It isn’t as if these oil V supplies were developed without proper recom- pense to the producing countries. In Iraq they have made possible such vital projects as the £165 million Wadi Tharthar reservoir which are transforming the country’s economic structure. Kuwait’s annual oil re? venues, which now» exceed £100 mil- lion, finance a large development pro- gram which has been in operation for several years. In Iran the internation- al consortium, in which the British Petroleum Company has a 40 percent share, produced about £76 million in 1957 and is expected to meet about three-fifths of the cost of Iran’s seven-year develOpment program.

If all the oil revenues going to various Middle East states were used for the. common good, it would kéep them in prosperity. The trouble is that in many instances the wealth

-»does . not reach the .peOple but is

squandered by the rulers. That _is something that the United .NatiOns ought to take in hand and rectify; It might thereby get to the root of 'much of the unrest with which the area is. plagued at the present time.

Now that President Eisenhower hastold Premier Khrushchev that he (Kh ushchev) will be‘ expected to “obe the rules'” in any summit meet- ing in the Security Council, the Rus- sian leader is getting less favourable

The idea of London without fog— or “smog”—and Britain’s ’ “dark, Satanic mills” without smoke may ‘ eem‘ a sad one to the romantically- minded, but it is the object of the Clean Air Act of 1956, the remaining provisions of which came into force on June 1‘ this year. Sam ' Pollock, speaking recently in the,BBC’s Gen- eral Overseas Service, pointed out that, although a good deal of the greater purity of the air over indus- trial Britain had been brought about by the‘cleaner operations of mOdern industry, much of it was due to pos- itive measures ’ like the creation of ’ slnokless zones, in which the use of smokeless fuel or other smoke-reduc- ing. devices had been enforced. The Clean Air Act, among other anti-pol- lution provisions, had extended the smokeless zone scheme, and had also prohibited entirely, under penalty of a heavy fine, the emission of black smoke anywhere in Britain from June 1, 1958.

Summit Cloudover

By Ed Simon . Canadian Press Staff Writer

A week ago the world suddenly caught a glimpse of the summit, its outlines fully revealed and ap- parently oflfering a. short and easy ascent to aspiring climbers. Today it is rapidly disappearing blhind its customary cloud‘mier.

The West, for better or rse, has succeeded in damping down the explosive Middle East situa- tion, ’which Russia's Premier Khrushchev had seized upon as urgent grounds for an immediate meeting of chiefs of government. His bi was greeted by agree- ment in principle and disagree- ment on details of time and place.

The Russians quickly gave way to impatignce and invective and the summit situation appeared to be rapidly getting back to nor- mal. Western opinion, divided on the advisability of a meeting in the first place, was equally diver- gent in assessing the latest de-

‘ velopments. DIPLOMATIC MIRAGE

The prospect of a summit con- ference appears to arouse two persistent and contradictory illu- sions — that somehow. it will solve all the problems threaten- iug‘world peace and that some- how it will result in an all-encom- passing diplomatic victory for the Russians.

To those cherishing the hope’ that Khrushchev, Eisenhower, Macmillan, de Camille and Nehru could work out all the answers,

any appearance of Western delay was disastrous; To th-OSe ob- sessed by fear. of being out- manoeuvred at the conference table, any excuse for postponing the evil day was a diplomatic tri- umph.

Certainly an immediate confer-

ence after the allied landings in

Lebanon and Jordan would have placed the West at a disadvane tage and Khrushchev was clearly eager to press home his exag- gerated charge of massive West- ern interference in the Arabian peninsula before the shock had worn otlf. WEST GAINS ‘ ,

But the United States has

moved rapidly to tidy up the sit~,

nation. A Lebanese presidential candidate has been found who ap- pears to command the support of

both government supporters and’

adherents of the rebel cause, of- fering the prospect of an early withdrawal of the US; Marines from the country. '

And tacitly writing ofif any hope of Iraq’s return to the Baghdad alli-, auce, has assured the surviving members of continuing American support. The Baghdad Pact, in short, has become a pact without Baghdad;

Youth,lAge And Experience

Remember when “so mam were saying that what our world need- ed was more of youth in its lead- ership? The fresh outlook and vi- sion which only youth could give.

The past two decades seem to

I have dealt hardly with that View.

There was what came in Ger- many and Italy. Few old men were in the ranks ofthose who backedthe adventures of Hitler. and Mussolini; we heard more of young Storm Troopers and

. young Blackshimts than we heard

of age. And in Britain too and on this continent, whatever youth did in those years was. hardly in the way of leadership. .

We used to hear of the “Lost Generation” in the U.S. (it is the “Beat oration” now) and to- day we read of the “Angry Young Men" in Britain. B ut when one looks back at what was said and done by the “Lost Gen- eration” or examines the ideas of the ‘fBerat Generation" or the “Angry Young Men," one is hard- ly impressed by evidence of wis- dom or of capacity for leadership. And purely to complain, to show angry impatience, is surely not enough.

We come to these thoughts

through reading what has been happening this week at a meet- ing of the CCF party in Mont- real. Here is a party which puts an accent on change, which says it wishes t break away from what is‘ 01 and stale. Yet we find it pleading with Mr. M. J. Coldwell, deep in his 70th. year, that he stay on as its leader!

Where is the youth of the CCF Lthe young men who are sup- posed to have visions and dream dreams? The youth who, only yesterday it seems, were so need- ed to lead us to the uplands?

The answer, we fear, is a'vcry old one: The answer, taught us by generation after generation, that there is no substitute for ex- perience—tor the wisdom which comes only finom long years .of total and error; from hard oaxm- paigns with some lost battles.

Indeed — as Bernard Shaw once argued —- 'one of the traged- ies of this earth is that the span of life is so short, that just as one generation has grasped wis- dom, 0: seems about to grasp it, it passes from the scene, leaving a younger generation to make the same mistakes all over again.

New Aids In Medical Field

By Herman N. Bundesen, A NEW type of hearing aid that operates on power from or- dinary sunlight, a new drug for heart disease victims and a sus- tained action tablet for controll- ing allergies are the medical ad- vances I’d like to discuss today. The new hear-1n g aid" is con- tained in a pair of eyeglasses. That’s nothing new, of iourse, but the fact that it operates on solar energy is new. SILICON CELLS

The unit utilizes silicon cells of the same type used to power the radio transmitter in the Navy’s Vanguard Satellite.

The amount of sunlight receiv- ed on a slightly overcast day is enough to operate the unit en- tirely on free. solar power without using'the battery which the umt also tains. ’

Brigh sunlight not only will operate the unit,-but it also will recharge the battery. When light is insufficient the battery autom- atically cuts in to operate the hearing aid.

AID FOR HEART '

The new heart disease aid is made in the form of capsules. They contain a group of special fat substances». which reportedly lower blood cholesterol to the ben: efit of heart patients. ‘

In one test these capsules of unsaturated fatty acids produced clinical improvement in 45 of 50 victims of heart conditions. In another, they produced “satis- factory” improvement in 20 out of 25 patients.

In addition ’to lowereiug the blood cholesterol *levels, they also acted to restore, blood cir- culation i legs, feet and hands, The new drug also prevented spasms of angina, according to researchers.

SUSTAINED ACTION

The new anti-allergy drugis a sustained‘action tablet. Enteric

coated tablets which protect drugs froim attack by stomach juices have been used for some time to provide release of the drug in the intestines.

Recently, however, pharmaceu- tical manufacturers have devel- oped” special dosage forms des- cribed as delayed action, repeat action, or sustained action tab- lets or capsules.

CRYSTALS IN CORE \ The action of this tablet is sus- tained by imbeddicmg crystals of the actiVe drug in a core. While the core itself is insoluble it is subject to in both the stomach and the intestines. Thus, as the surface of the drug - bearing core dissolves, small amounts of the drug are

made available'in a smooth con-
