'7f'licT-smngest memory is weaker man!-

the weakest ink." PAGE 4 TIJICSDAY. APRIL 30. 1957

TA Ghastly Thought

A new potential (laii;.',ci' has been added to the ilLll'It":il'-illllllll l05llni?. process. A pliysicist attat-lied to the liiiiiorl States Wczitlier Psuicau says he has reason to believe that pro- long;-ri testing of these liorrihle de- vices will contanuiiate the air to such a degree that rain will become less and less frequent and. eventu- ally, stop falling altogctlicr. T0 till-S. all that has been said in rebuttal by those who defend the propriety of the testings is that there is as yet no actual proof that this danger exists. They do not say that it is an absurd mum-y, but only that it re- mains to be scientifically substantiat- ed. This is the same argumrnt USNI against the proposal to do away with nuclear tests of all kinds on the grounds that they constitute a .5 health hazard not only to this gen- Il eration but to generations yet un- I born.

It sccins. therefore. that unless the conscience of mankind is soon aroused to such I degree that gov- ernments of all the atomic-producing nalioiis will be comil9”9d I0 ill”? heed to the danger that confronts civilization. humanity will eventually. and perhaps before this century is out. find itself in a position Wilt"?- there will he no alternative to uiii- versal and complete destruction- Perhaps that is the role of our gen- eration-to set in unrestrained mo- tion the forces which will kill all that has been built up with such arduous toil and striving by suc- cessive generations-and to do it quickly.

Tho ending of a civilization is not, of course, I new thing. At least twenty others have had their day and ceased to be. But in all past in- stances a remnant was left to start anew. In this case, if the scientists are right in saying that atomic poison can linger on and over the earth for thousands of years-Pm- vidcd, of course. that the earth itself is not topplede-it is hard to see how any new start would be possible. Once the rains stop. there can be no life.

Perhaps this is an unduly ter- rifying picture, and perhaps it isn't. But isn't it I ghastly thought that In a period when knowledge is at its historic peak-or so it is believcd- the human family should be serious- ly considering the possibility of its annihilation by its own hands?.

I . Mr. Pearson s Explanation

An explanation of Ottawa's po- sition at the time of the British- Frcnch intervention in Egypt is provided in a statement made by External Affairs Minister Pearson at I recent political rally. Mr. Pearson is quoted as declaring. in substance. that Canada must try to keep in step with both Britain and the United States and that when these two al- lies go different ways, as they did last fall. it is hard for Canada to know what to do.

This. obviously. was an attcmiit to justify Canada's lining up with the United States and the Soviet Union against Britain and France in discussions in the U. N. Security Council and Genei-Il Assembly and to excuse the mInner In which Prime Minister St. Lnurent took it upon gmnelf to chastise Sir Anthony

for taking steps to defend his bnmu-ya vitIl immm in the Mid-

-anoms-.(s;.-.. -on... -..-.v..1 . A

was purported to be based on moral grounds. Although neither Zilr. St. Laurent nor Mr. Pearson actually used the word "aggression" in des- cribing the intervention in the Suez Canal zone, both men left no doubt in anybne's mind that that was wlizit they meant. Mr. St. Laurent cv- pressed himself as ”scaiidall7.c(i": and Mr. Pearson spoke loudly in the U.N. General Assembly on the same general theme.

If-as Mr. Pearson appears to be saying noiv4anada cannot afford under any circumstances to dis-please the United States Government when that Government is at odds with the British Government; well, that is one thing. It doesn't say much for the ”indcpcndence" which Canadian officials never tire of broadcasting to the world; but at least it is a policy of a sort. There is notliing particularly moral about it. how- ever: and to make it appear so is. one imagines, as politically difficult as it is ethically unsound.

Av Cadet Training

ilcdnesday will be an important day in the lives of hundreds of top Air Cadets across Canada. l-lzilliii-,: during national Air Cadet Week, May lst has been designated by tin- Air Cadet League as ”Selcction Day" for the special training awards pro- vided by the League and the RCA? each summer. Two hundred and fifty of the Cadets will be granted RLTAF flying scholarships covering 30 hours of actual flying instruction. The League will award up to 1.30 addi- tional scholarships to qualified lads who do not fit within the RCAF quota. The four weeks course will commence early in July at civilian flying clubs an d schools spaced across the country. Successful grad- uates will qualify for the Air Cadcl flying badge as well as private pilot's licenses.

One hundred cadets will be chosen for a seven weeks "Senior Leaders Course" to be held at RCAF Station. Camp Borden. Operated as a "junior staff college". the course will train cadets for future positions of re- sponsibility with the. squadrons. An- other one hundred cadets will be selected for an Air ("adct Drill In- structors Coursc also to he held dur- ing the summer at Camp Borden. From this group will be chosen a 40-man precision drill squad which will compete with an American drill team for the General Beau Trophy at the Canadian National Exhibition on August 24th.

A total of fifty-eight cadets will be hand-picked for the l.cague's top award;an exchange visits trip to the United States. United Kingdom or continental Europe. Six countries have joined hands with Canada in this highly successful "get acquaint- ed" scheme.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It's a little late for this scasun- we hope; but when another winter comes around motorists would do well to remember that heavily salted water is an efficient windshield de- icer. So says a research organization.

According to a survey conducted by the Canadian University Post in Montreal, most students would like to work in Canada. all things being equal. Only 10'; of those polled said they would like to go to the United States.

Sooner or later world opinion will compel the Great Powers to bring an end to nuclear bomb tests. The recent appeals by Pope Pius XII and Dr. Albert Schweitzer may hasten the taking of appropriate measures before it is too late to save the human race from self-in- flicted destruction.
