An Important Step

. Slowly, and despite setbacks from time to time, relations are being established on both sides of the Iron Curtain that may set the pat- tern for a safer and saner world in the years to come. Canada took an important step in this direction this week, by opening formal diplomatic relations with Hungary and enter- ing into a three-year trade agree- ment with the East European Com- munist country.

. As announced by Trade Minister Sharp, the agreement is the first of its kind to be signed between the two countries since the war. The amounts of Canadian wheat or bar- ley involved are not large. but add to the number of several-year agree- ments that Canada has negotiated in the last three years with various Tron Curtain countries. The two governments. he said, wish to ex- tend trade progressively and each government has agreed to give sympathetic consideration to repre- sentations from the other for that: purpose.

, At the same time, External Af- fairs Minister Martin announced that Canada and Hungary will ex- change diplomatic missions and negotiate a settlement of outstand- in‘g financial claims between the two ocuntries. He added that agree- ment had been reached on a number of consular matters which will clarify the position of Canadian citizens—including those of Hun— garian origin—who may wish to travel in Hungary. Hungary will give sympathetic consideration to applications from Hungarian citizens who may wish to join members of their family already in Canada.

A few years ago, such an ar- rangement with any Communist country would be out of the question. Had it been proposed in Canada, it would probably be denounced as subversive, or something of that kind. And. of course. no Commun- ist government would have dared to consider it, for the same reason.

Test Case In Colorado

3' Farmers everywhere are con- ooncerned, as they are in this prov- inée, with protecting themselves fibm the extreme ups and 'downs of the market. Their concern usual- 15" expresses itself in the form of marketing legislation of some sort; and this has been the case in Color- ado, where for the past quarter of a century a marketing act has been in operation, under the terms of which scores of permanent market- ing agreements, covering most of the large fresh-produce crops, fruit, and wheat, have come into effect. The act has never been previously challenged, but it; has now been ruled unconstitutional by a state district court. The ruling will be appealed to the Colorada Supreme Court, but etate agricultural authorities are elk-early wondering what farmena can,do if the whole structure goes

The actual issue is two years old. Under a. marketing order covering iiho huge lettuce crop of the San Louie Valley in 1962, farmers voted to leave 30 per cent of the crop un- herveated from day to day, so as to keep up their price on the remain- dfl'. This was implemented by a ‘ order is'sued by theatate mi. “turd commissioner. Two grow- ..h. however, refueedto-comrpiy and U ‘ an.me to prevent the

In his ruling the district court judge said the act contains no pro- vision for directly compensating pro- ducers for their destroyed crop. “Presumably,” he said “the farmers would receive their reward either in heaven or from increaad prices for the remaining 70 per cent of their crop if and when a market existed for their remaining lettuce. Certainly the expected benefits would be highly speculative. It is a basic constitutional law that pri- vate property shall not be taken for public use without just- compen- sation. and that private property cannot be taken at all for private purposes.”

He added that "no person engag- ed in agriculture can read the act and determine with any degree of certainty, or at all, what are his rights, duties. and liabilities under a marketing order promulgated un- der this act, because. like lightning, no one can tell where it is going to strike.”

The director of the Colorada agri- cultural marketing division, on the other hand, contends that “nothing could be more democratic than in- dividual farmers’ cooperating in these agreements.” The 1962 action, he said, had saved lettuce growers from huge losses, and he noted that similar orders cover the big Colorado potato areas (plus peaches and wheat), and milk marketing. The potato orders require growers to discard culls. and the others in var- ious ways are designed to restrict overproduction and consequent low prices.

The outcome of this legal battle will be followed with widespread in- terest.

Who Speaks For Canada?

No nation has more to gain and less to lose from the success of the Kennedy Round of tariff negotia- tions than Canada. Yet. as the Win- nipeg Free Press complains. this country's attitude toward the negoti- ations, which will get under way in earnest next September. has been expressed only in the vaguest and often contradictory terms.

On the one hand, we have had liberal. low tariff statements from the minister of trade and commerce. Mr. Sharp, assuring other countries that Canada expects to pay fully for any benefits she receives from the negotiations. On the other hand there have been repeated expres- sions of protectionism and economic nationalism from the minister of finance. Mr. Gordon—notably in his budget speech and in an address to the British Columbia branch of the

Canadian Manufacturers Associa- tion. This ambivalence in Canada’s

trade policy will have to be settled before long, but in the meantime it is causing concern in Washington, which is totally committed to a policy of broad tariff reduction.

It is also causing annoyance to our Winnipeg Liberal contemporary, which concludes on this note: “If Mr. Sharp speaks for the govern- ment there is no cause to worry: Canada will play her full part at Geneva and do her best to persuade other middle powers to make similar sacrifices . But if our policy is to be characterized by the tacit pro

- tectionism of Mr. Gordon, who as

finance minister must. ultimately pilot all tariff changes through Par- liament, then there are indeed grounds for grave concern."

EDITORIAL NOTES

Norway‘s parliament has un- animously agreed to locate 1,300 troops for the world‘s first pennan- ent police force. As announced on Wednesday, the Norwegian contin- gent would be part of a planned Scandinavian brigade that would include 1,600 Swedish and 950 Dan- ish troops and would be prepared to go anywhere at any time on peace- keeping missions for the United Nations.

HITLER'S GHOST Attempting

F.S.M.

Less than 20 years after the end of the war voices have been raised in Berlin and in the Un ited States striving to abstain Hitler of all blame for the con- flict. In Britain these were the voices of the far left. and their aim was to make appeasement respectable: appeasement of Hitler in 1939. and appeasement of the Communists in the '603.

In America the movement has aims that are exactly the oppo site, and, b e i n g well provid- ed with funds. is much more dangerous: It is a right wing movement that is using the new thesis of a blameless Hitler. linked to reported attempts at resuscitation of the largely dc,- funct German nationalism, as a lever in American domestic po lifics.

It wishes to put the blame for the last war on President Roose velt whom the American right wing cannot forget or forgive; and to attempt to create a new nationalist. Germany that would become an ally of a right win}: nationalist United States in an uncompromisingly hostile con. frontation with the Communist world.

“Water Is no longer an inex-r

haustible commodity even in a damp climate."

This patching statement from the United States Commission for UNESCO is supported by such reasons as the increasing demands for water by industry and agriculture. Producing a ton of rolled steel requires 400 tons of water; making one loaf of bread. from raw materials to bakery window. takes two tons of water.

Set beside such statistics the fact that 97 per cent of the world's water is in its oceans. mostly unusable at present “ex- cept to float boats." as one hydrologist puts it.

Considering the differences in rates of technological develop- ment throuth the world. it seems obvious that future wal- er needs cannot be left solely to the workings of the market place. Even in the United States where a qualified theory of let- ting the undirected market op- erate has been attracting pro- ponents. coordinated planning is likely to become more and more necessary,

Muckroking In Hong Kong

washing Hitler began in Britain three years ago, when Profes- sor A.J.P. Taylor of Oxford pub- lished his book The Origins of the Second World War. Prof. Taylor, who belongs to the fax left fringe of the British Labot Party, claimed that the war of 1939 —— “the war of Danzig," as he called it — was not premedit- ated by Hitler. but was the re sult of diplomatic blunders.

The thesis has now been fol- lowed up by an American pro- fessor. David Hoggan, who In his new book. The Enforced responsibility for the SECOud World War and blames Britain. egged on by President Rome- velt. instead.

Prof. Hoggan has been four- ing West Germany and Austria, lecturing to nationalist groups and collecting awards from them for his championship of Hitler. One such award was giv-i en to him in Heidelberg. where the history faculty of the Heid- elberg University, in a state. ment endorses by the rector and the academic senate, dismissed the book as worthless for lus- torical research.

GROUPS DENOUNCED The German historians say Prof. Hoggan's book omits well~

In short there is ample reason for the extended study of water problems promised by the In- ternational Hydrological Decade scheduled to begin next year. We hope and assume that it will receive final approval by the ESCO General Conference meeting in Paris this fall.

Already 140 delegates from 50 countries have met. to decide on specific proposals for the decade. These wisely include both cooperative collecting of basic data and detailed inven- tories of local conditions. To the user of water who rarely gives a thou_ t to where it comes from. it is enlightening even to think of such broad terms as “representative basins." defin- ed as "where man's influence is not present." and "experi- mental basins." where “man in changing hydrological fa tors."

Upon becomingbetter ac- quainted with the implications of the Hoggan thesis, several bodies drew back from official sponsorship of such awards. The Austrian government ban- ned Prof. Hoggan'a lectures al- together.

At the same time. a new na- tionalist paper was recently founded in Germany with seem ineg unlimited funds. The pa- per now has a circulation of 70.000. of which 50,000 are paid- up subscriptions. German cial Democrats suspect that the money for this new nationalist venture comes from the same United States sources that are behind Prof. Hoggan: the ultra- rightest circles of Texas and the west coast.

There is. of course. little scope for any right wing revival in Germany. The Germans were bitten twice by the nationans bug with disastrous results. and they are now fairly immune. Nevertheless, these attempts re- main a mischievous game that

should be stopped forthwith.

HEART ATTACK AFTER

SHOCK

L.S.K. writes: Could a severe emotional shock cause a heart attack in a person 50 years of

REPLY Yes. but the victim usually has had hardening of the coro- nary arteries long before the at- tack occurs. The shock becomes the straw that breaks the Cam-

Let her alone. except for more love and attention. The pacifier is preferred to thumb-sucking and children usually give up the habit when they come more secure emotionally.

OlympicmCode’s Status

Prime Minister Pearson has strongly implied that he regards 3‘12?”ka code as being out-

Many Canadians who watch the progres of Canada's hoc- key teams in international com- petltion will agree with the Prime Minister's point of view.

Mr. Pearson had this to say at the Canadian Amateur Hoc- key Association‘a 50th anniver- sary dinner:

“The distinction is so alia- dowy and uncertain that per- haps the time has come when it shouldn’t matter whether an athlete is professional or am- ceur. It should be simply a case of lining up the best team to re- present the country so long as it s an international sport."

Countries tekin part in Oly- mpic and World key tun-us- manta in recent years have shown an increasing tendency

to include professionals on their rosters.

It is an accepted fact that governments in the Communist bloc countries subsidize their athletes in certain fields.

Such a policy puts teams from nations that maintain the arm- teur code at a distinct disadvan-

The word “anateur” is grad- ually losing its significance as far as the Canadian hockey scene is concerned in any case.

Most adults who play in esta- blished leagues receive remun- eration in our form or another.

boys who participate in Canada’s major junior heckey circuits receive regular pay cheques. Sam f are performers eventually end up on this coun- try's Olympic teams.
