A Faint Hope -

President Eisenhower's new 'dls- armament proposals are meeting with opposition from widely separ- ated sources. His own military chiefs. especially Admiral Radford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. don't like them because they feel. as Admiral Redford expressed it, ”tiic Russians can't be trusted in anytliiiig." In that. they are prob- ably correct. The French are wary of them lwcaiise of the proposal which wiills for the manufacturing: of nut-lIi.iI' iiviptlns to be limited to the nations which have them at- readv the t'uited States. Britain and tile Soviet Union. Other coun- tries will almost certainly join France in this criticism: for the sug- gestion is tantamount to making them virtual wards of one power bloc or the other. That is their status now for all practical purposes; but it has not been described quite as bluntly heretofore. Nations. like in- dividuals, like to think they are totally iiidopcndeni even when they are not.

To make matters more complex, and more difficult for the President rumblings are already being heard in ('ongI'essi0nal circles. After voting large sums of money for defence, much of it against their own judg- mont, Congressmen are unlikely to favour Tiir. Eisenhower's suggestion that sulistnniial quantities of power- ful weapons he placed in an inter- national pool for eventual scrapping. There is a widespread feeling. too, that the concessions which the Rus- sians are reported willing to make with respect to the President's "open skies" inspection plan are so slight as in be of no practical value.

Yet. as Mr. Eisenhower has point- sd out. unless some sore of disarma- ment plan is put into operation soon, it will be too late for anything but niiclcar war to descend upon the world-if. indeed, we are not all poisoned by atomic radiation in the meantime. He admits that his pro- posals cover only ”small stages". But, of course. there must be a be- ginning somewhere if anything at all is to he done. and beginnings are usually small affairs. The very fact that the Russians have consented to negotiate on the basis of some sys- tem of control, however inadequate it may he, represents something superior to their old intransigent at- tjtudn of insistence upon interna- tional confidence in their pledged word.

The whole thing may come to nothing. There is probably a better than Stl-30 chance that it will. On the other hand, it may be the start, pprhaps a very weak start. in some- thing better in international rela- tions; and God knows the world could do with that very nicely. The fact that if and when it comes it will be motivated by fear of the con- sequences of doing nothin: will in no way detract from its usefulness

md good sense.

Bell island Mines

A recent issue of the St. John's Daily News contains an interesting account of the famed iron ore mines at. Bell" Island in Conception Bay I few miles from St. John's. Last, year a record amount of 2.654.219 tons

ramp where 5-ton cars are made up into trains which are hauled through the working to,s central gathering station underground. The ore is dumped by itipple' over s scalping screen and after primary crushing starts moving towards the surface. The ore travels to the surface on the longest slope conveyor system in the world, which consists of a series of ten electrically-powered and coordinated conveyor belts hav- ing a total length of 11,555 feet. Other conveyors move the ore to the loading pier whcre a 10,000 ton ship is loaded in something like 90 min- utes."

The mines have been in continu- out operation since 1895. Over the years a total of 62 million tons have been sent to the steel mills of the world. Sydney. has taken about half of the production. Germany was in second place. having taken 16': million tons, and the United King- dom third with 11'; million. About 21,43 million tons have gone to the United Stutcs.

0 His Passing Mourned

The passuig of the Right Rm-pr. end Monsignor Maurice MacDonald will he learned with regret by all our citizens. Known and esteemed throughout the Province as "Father Maurice". he was devoted to his priestly calling and even during late years. when handicapped by illness. was zealous in the performance of his duties as chaplain at the (Thar- lotlctown Hospital. where it was his daily practice to visit the sick and cheer them with his genial presence.

He served for many years, and with much success. in the responsible position of Rector of St. Dunstan's Cathedral. and also as parish priest at. Albcrton, Tracadie and Vernon River. He took great interest in education and in all that pertained to tliowclfare of the younger gon- eration. and seemed himsclf to in- endowed with the gift of perpetual youth. His was a long life of useful- ness to his Church and to the com- munity. and his memory will be cherished as s notable example cf zeal and conscientiousness.

When nuclear tests have finally been terminated by agreement among the great powers the Jap- anese will have to be given a large share of the credit. Their insistent representations calling for a stop to the experiments are based on ex- perience and not theory. since they are the only people thus far to have felt the force of the deadly device.

The Swiss Federal Railway is re- ported to be the only transportation system in the world to have cats on its regular payroll. It happened in this way: Years ago. when it was found that passengers were in the habit of throwing scraps of food out of windows. several pairs of mice were acquired to serve as scavengers along the tracks. Thcy multiplied rapidly. as is the fashion with ro- dents: and cats were brought in to keep them under control. The mice have all but disappeared. but the company keeps the cats employed just as a safeguard. Free milk twice daily is the mode of payment for services rendered.
