Support Welcomed

The emphasis at the Conserva- live centennial dinner here on Sat- ll1'llH.V night was placed very strong- ly on problems which were recently aired before the Royal Economic Commission and which the Atlantic Economic Council has been formed to grapple with. Mr. Drew pointed ollt that at Confederation the broad development of every part of Can- ada was envisaged. with transporta- tion to carry trade east and west at fair competitive prices an essential consideration in the discussions. The first government formed by Sir John A. Iilacdonald was committeed to this principle in 1867 and the party has been committed to it ever since.

It might be said that the Liber- als also, through Sir Wilfrid Laur- ier and other leaders since Confed- yration, have given similar commit- ments. 'l'lle tragedy is that both parties have tended to forget their obligations when in power, and it has been a constant battle to en- force ollr claims under a national economy which has been so benefi- cial to the Central Provinces that it has given them wealth and rep- resentation out of all proportion to their status at Confederation. It need only be recalled that we enter- ed the l'nion with six members of the House of Commons from Prince Edward Island, and that we have been able to retain our four present members only because our Senate representation is pegged at that number. Otherwise we would have but a fraction over two members. We have been penalized in many other ways; but it is the strength of ollr collective voice at Ottawa, now as compared with when we entered Confederation, that tells the damn- ing tale.

It is encouraging, however, to note the awareness of the Conserva- tive national leader and those asso- ciated with him to the problems con- fronting the Atlantic Provinces in transportation, cheap power, and all that makes for industrial expan- sion. We welcome every support we can receive in this direction. We do not regard it as a partisan issue but one in which every party is vitally concerned. It is not only a question of honouring the Confederation bond. although this should weigh lnllch morla heavily than it has rlone It is a question of enabling these Provinces to make their proper con- tribution to the Domillion, situated as we are with magnificent seaboard advantages, with great coal and steel industries, tremendous fishery resources and the finest agricultural

areas on the continent. It is not throtlgh lack of cffort and initiative that we have failed. but throllgll economic schcmcs that have by-

passod ollr interests and run quitt- rbuntcr to ('nnl'odcr;llion plans.

llr. Drew can help: Mr. ('olrl- wcl can help: Prime Klinistcr St. Lallrcnt and his ministers can help most of all at the present lllTI('. We Want the crmpcraiinn of all rollcerlr ed and it is only in this wax that we can lift this issllc out of the political bog in which it has been floundering and place it where it bl-longs. among the vital problems confronting Can- ada as a nation. and the most urgent from the standpoint of unity and co- partnership.

Knowledge Of Asia

A llcw organization known as

the "National Council on Asian Af-

fairs" has been set up in the United

States with the declared purpose of

conveying more information to the

public, and especially to the colleges and universities, regarding the place of Asia in contemporary world so- ciety. In commenting on the new movement, Dr. Norman Palmer, Professor of Political Science at the University of PoniIylvIniI and the Council's first President, Idld "it is astounding how little tho :choolI hllveheennhlotodotooducatoour young people on Asia ll they do on

ilrurope." with this in mind. one of the first items on the Council's pro- gram will be a teacher-training course in Asiatic political, social and economic matters

Perhaps something of the same nature might be undertaken with profit in this country. It is a fact that popular knowledge of Asiatic affairs, and especially of the cultural backgrounds of Asiatic peoples, is extremely slim. That may have been quite all right in the old days when it did not matter much to the aver- age citizen of the Western world what went on among the teeming millions of Asia. Today it is a differ- ent story. Hardly a day passes but some event or some political pro- nouncement arises in one Asiatic area or another that affects for good or ill the entire world. Indeed. it is often said that whether or not the world may reasonably look for- ward to an era of peace depends very largely on how Asiatics react to pressures arising from the forces of nationalism which are sweeping across the vast Far East regions with ever increasing intensity. Nor is tthat the only thing that counts. At a time when Americans and Canadians and all other Westerners are being asked to aid in the eco- nomic and social development of the

Foreign observers of the Middle East situation are not discounting the possibility of Israel's starting 3 preventive war against Egypt be- fore her military strength has been overwhelmed by Egypt's build-up with arms supplied by Communist countries. This was hinted by an Is- raeli official. ”Israel", he said, "will not sit like a rabbit waiting for the shake to get big enough to swallow heruup." '

What a shame that Republican politicians cannot seem to let Presi- dent Eisenhower go through the period of his convaiescence free of political involvement. To make the situation even more trying for the President some of the annoyance comes from men who might be ex- pected to know better, A few days ago, for example, Minority House Leader Martin came out with this pronouncement: "I have every con- fidence that Mr. Eisenhower will run again in favour of the country and the world. He would need to do little campaigning. I can see how it would be less strain in the - White House than it would be on the farm at Gettysburg". All of which means

Great Week in Singapore

By I. Norman Smith Associate Editor, Ottawa Journal

DJAKARTA, Indonesia. Oct. 24.-(By Mallielt was a great week in Singapore. Except one wanted three sets of eyes and ears.

Here was I British Crown Colony with 80 percent of its two million people Chinese, and so the throb and sound of the back streets was Chinese.

Here was an island only 26 miles long and 14 miles wide separated from the jungle-land of the Feder- ation of Malay States by I! narrow strip of water a few hundred feet wide. And in that jungle Com- munists were still at combat, wild and human animals at large.

Here was an all-Asian meeting of the Colombo Plan going on in hotels and ample opportunity to talk to men from virtually any land or nice. And it wasn't hard to get a view quite different from one's own and well expressed and well founded.

Here was the great harbor full of ships whose home parts I spied from a little launch to be in every corner of the globe. And we saw the sea-facing defences the Brit- ish had erected which the Jap- anese took from the rear by in- vading through the "impossible" approach of the Malay jungle.

Then. too, here were the myriad of little things of interest.

COBRA IN A PAPER BAG.

Here, en, one may purchase Japanese cameras, French ties, American shirts, Swiss watches, British whiskey, Asian jewels at much less cost than in their tax- hit countries of origin. And of course there are here too the silks and jewels of Asia, and the fine craftsmanship.

COLORI-llll. HUT FOUL.

Bul time spent in a store in such a community seems time wasted. There are the lllmber yards when near-naked men work with teak wood and mahangany as non- cllalalllly as the Ottawa carpenter works with spruce or poplar. Then you want to visit the Indian section of Singapore for about a tcnlli of the poplllation is Indian and they dwcll together in crowded noisy allcys aml make for them- selves ll home away from home.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

K.M.: My husband and I have been told by doctors that we can- not have any children. It seems that it is not my fault. Is there still I chance that my husband might become fertile again? Answer: Fertility in a male some- times return: after treatment with male hormone and other durgs. This, of course, depends on the cause and severity of the individual case.
