A- major problem has been that of

developing enough power to send this enormous piece of hardware on its way. Titan 3-C generated a booster thrust of 2.5 million pounds, approxt- mately a million pounds more than the previous most powerful missile, the Saturn. Actually, the Titan boosters can be lengthened with more fuel segments,. and can be “clustered” to produce a combined thrust of 10 million pounds or more.

Yesterday's experiment has been hailed as a complete success. It may be of concern to all of us that it was

achieved on this, and not the other

side of the Iron Curtain. Viet Nam Problem

It is obvious that if the Common- wealth leaders themselves’ could not agree on the advisability of having Britain’s Prime Minister Wilson head a summit peace mission on Viet Nam, the Communists would pay scant attention to such a mission's activities. Nor would President John- son’s offer of full U.S. cooperation with the mission tend to convince them that it wasn’t on the side of the “imperialist aggressors.” There ap- pears to be merit in the Kenya spokesman’s contention that before any mission is undertaken, the views of the contending parties in South Viet Nam be ascertained as to their willingness to accept the mission's makeup. That micht be an impossible demand to meet;-but it just serves to

underline the extreme difficulty of |

the problem. 4 If face-saving were really desired ‘on both sides, the solution would be easier. No doubt the Russians would like to see the contest ended, for its continuance can do them no good. But the Americans are committed to their refusal to negotiate directly with the Viet Cong government. The Chinese, on their part, seem to be enjoying all the fruits of a successful war without having to do any of the : that the Russians are traitors, and that the

ministers came up with a proposal that there be another pause in the bombing of North.

Mr. Pearson has adhered view that there on. both sides and he may

Certainly it has become evident that no nation can hope to dictate a settlement on its own t in this conflict. and that the longer it goes on the more danger. there 1s of it

A Golden Opportunity More than a third of the present Senate membership “is made—up of men and women who are or soon will be 75. Very few. have so far express- ed their intentions, but it is antici- ,pated that as many as 25 will take the $8.000 a vear pension which Par- liament has offered them, and retire.

way, but the prospect is, obvious. And with it gaes the responsibility of getting rid, once and for all, of the old discredited method of mak- ing partisan appointments t this office. Mr. Pearson’s appointments to date have all been tarred with the partisan brush. In this he is not singular—it has been the rule rather than the exception since Confedera- tion. But he now has the chance to adopt new criteria for the block of appointments he may soon be called upon to maké, and it will be lament- able if he shirks his duty in this respect.

Sir,— I just returned to Char- lcttetown to live, from Boston where I have resided for the past 30 years. I see a great change in the city.

Why I am writing this is about the square from St. Paul’s Church to the Monument. It is in a disgraceful condition. Pap- ers scattered around, large ston- es just thrown there, no walks, the grass in ruin. Can’t we get busy, now the tourist season ¢s on, and put this eet the square in good condi ?

Now that I am on the subject, what about a bandstand? All cit- ies have concerts in the summer time and we ought to give the tourists some entertainment when they come here.

I am, Sir, etc., : WILLIAM SMITH Brighton.

Within Africa itself, there is some discord about signs that Moise Tshombe of the Congo, only recently an outcast for end- ing left-wing rule with the help of white mercenaries, is coming back into favor.

Then there is_ Indonesia's growing swing to China, its con- _ tinued pressure against Malay- ' sia, and China's continued test- ing of nuclear devices.

But .if growing poverty is the main concern, there is also unanimity about ‘such black- and-white targets as South Af- rican race bias and Portugal's colonial role on the African con- | tinént ¥ 3 | Another key topic will be how
