West May Lose Cold War In Judo-China“

By J.M. Roberts Associated Pres News Analyst There's a good chance that the

Western Powers will lose the new- ly-rctvivcd war for control of Indra-China

Observers were quick to poin-t out. as Britain and the United Stains movcxi to France's support aud Russia formally recognized the rebel lio Chin Minn, that Ho is mokiils use of a vcry real and pat- rlotic Naiionallmi which could not be enlisted by the type of so-called "sovexeignty“ which France is ex- tending to the area.

State Secretary Dean Acheson of the U.S. says the Russian, Peip- ng and Korean recognition of Ho is a Ccuznmunist effort to "cloud" the transfer of sovereignty. But France did that herself. because the sovereignty isn't real. Under the agreement, Bao Dai, installed by France, has no control of Vietnamese foreign affairs, the ilrermh army stays. and the Viet Nam amiy is merely a. part of the French defence system.

Not that. there is much else that could have been done safely under the circumstances. But these are important facts and might as well be recognized. The Anglo-American choice is between Communist oon- trol and an only slightly modified French colonialism.

If Britain and the U. S. want to recognize Boo Dal. and the pro- jected lcirlgdoms of Cambodia and Laos to the west,“ small steps to- ward independence. it. perhaps can be defended. Certainly a: a practi- cal thing it would do no good to omit anything which forestalls the advance of the Communiats with

the antithesis of independence. But

“THE GUARDIAN. CHARLUVIETOWN

Hospital Batters Bianca: 0f Lite 0f Indian Babies

By Bernice Redpath Maclver (Canadian Press Correspondent)

CHURCHILL. Mam. Feb. l —- (OP) — Indian women in this Hudson Bay community are real- izing more and more that proper hospital care increases the chances of successful childbirth.

Maj. B. P.L. Brosseau, Canadian army doctor who has charge of the military hospital here, says that one Indian woman who ent- ered the hospital recently for the first time for delivery had lost six

previous babies. Another woman had I051; four. The iii-bed hospital attends to

the needs of construction workers, trappers and their families, 1nd- ians, residents of the town, as well as military personnel.

On one recent day. described as typical by the hospital staff, the list of patients was made up of nine service personnel, l0 town civilians, 15 military camp civil- ians and four treaty Indians.

Patients might some from any- where within a ZOO-mile radius, although the distance has been even greater on occasion.

Maj. Brosseau once flew to Arc- tic Bay. 1,500 miles away on the western tip of Baffin Island, to pick up a patient. This flight al- most ended in disaster "when the plane was forced down on an ice- field in Hudson Bay on the return trip. It was this mercy flight that talus termed operation Ice Floc.

Radio also playg its part in the treatment of patients. Recently a patient at York Factory, 150 miles southeast of here and also on the Hudson Bay shoreline, received medical advice by short wave. Such work is carried on through the military radio station.

Need More Room

Maj. Brosseau says it would be more accurate to term the hosp- ital one containing 40 beds rather than a. 40-bcd hospital. Space is a problem and it is expected that the building, staffed by two doct- ors and nine nurses, will be en- larged this summer.

when an isolation ward is need- ed, one of the general wards is used. During the summer of 1949 the hospital looked after 20 cases of infantile diarrhoea. At the time several new-born babies were 1n another ward in the same build- ing. ‘There was not a single case of cross-infection.

An incubator at the lmspltal has been used twice. Both tiny arriv- als left the hospital in fine con- dition from the incubator treat- ment. The hospital boasts a record of not a single baby lost on deliv-

ry.

Clinic work also is carried out and periodic health checks are made at the schools in town and at the fort.

Maj. Brsseau notes that there generally are fewer military pat- ients than civiiians. He accounts for this by the fact that military personnel here are a. "select." group whose members have been given full medical examinations prior to departing for Churchill.

Expect Statement On Czech Expulsions

OTTAWA, Feb. 1 (CP) Cabinet rounded off its study of Czechoslovakian expulsion of two Canadians early tonight, some hours after they arrived homo and denied the charges made against them.

A long session of cabinet re- newed its investigation of the in- ternational incident and prepared a detailed statement that. will give the official retort to the Czech accusations and indicate what Canada intends to do about it.

The statement is expected to be issued tomorrow. Informed op- iniun is that it will indicate coun- ter-expuisions directed against members of the Czech Embassy here.

ally agreed that insofar as winning over the people and esiab-Iishlng n truly independent government, Btw Dal hasn't a chance.

This means that a. full-fledged military offensive is about lilo only means by which France can hold the country against the Nat- ionalists under Ho. who are inter- ested less 1n the political complex- ion of their leadership than in ending French control.

The issue has of course become more than a mere effort by France to hold on to her colonial interests in Indo-China. It is questionable if all the coal. rubber and rice which the country produces for ex- port would ever be worth the $30.- ODQOOO-odd a month it is coating France to maintain her position through military force.

The issue now i: whether Indo- China shall become - ‘ ponri on the Communist string in Asia. and whether it. ahaii remain as a buffer for Southeast Ala. Indo- Chlna is a wonderful base for utili- er political or military aggression In that area, u the Japanese proved during the war.

In recognizing the ao-ca-lled "ln- temally sovereign" government: set up by the French in Indo- china. the United States and Brit- ain also are assuming an obligat- ion to see to it that these govern- ments ‘really become representative of the people rather iihan of Fmncc.

Otherwise, neither arms nor pol- lltcs can hold lndo-Ohina.

Maritime Trade Board Clarifies Rates Attitude

MONCTON, N.B., Feb. 1—(CPJ —The executive of the Maritime Board of Trade here today ap- proved a statement of policy out- lining the reason why seven Pro- vinces are opposing the applica- tion of the railways for a gen- cral freight-rate increase.

Dr. C. H. Blakeny of Moncton. board wresident, said the oppos- ing Provinccs —- all except Que- bec. Ontario and Newfoundland- are placed at a disadvvantage through a flat or general increase.

Though railway operating costs had greatly increased. Dr. Blak- eny urged realism in judgment as lo what the actual needs are.

“Railways are the lines of com- munication which bind together the scattered Provinces of Can-

ada," he said. “Over those rails, cast and west, must pass the products of industry and the

necessities of life."

High freight rates which pre- vented the movement of goods from one Province to another were just as damaging as the im- polition of a customs tariff loa- iwcen Provinces.

On ihc other hand, hc said low rates that did not provide suf- ficient revenue to pay wages, ade- quate mainlenancu, replacement, reasonable dividends and interest on investment prevented the rail. ways from performing properly the function for which they were constructed.

Reviewing recent rate increases granted and the application now before the Board of Transport. Commissioners, Dir. Blakeny said:

"The Maritime Provinces are not. opposed to an increase in freight rates provided the rail- ways prove a need for such in- creased revenues for efficient rail- way operations and provided also that such rate increases are ap- plied in such a manner that will

not injure the industrial life of the Maritime Provinces." The Provinces and the rail-

ways clash again Thursday at Ot- tawa when the Board of Trans- port Commissioners re-upens hear- ings on the 1948 railway applica- tion. That led to last Septem- ber's award of an interim eight- per-cent increase to the carriers. However, a Dec. 22 judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada held that the cight-per-cent decision had not been a proper one and that the Board review the award. The Court said the Board should not have referred final consider- ation of a railway application for a ZO-per-cenit increase pending studies which the Court found ir- relevant to that particular casc.

Juvenile Hoop Game Won By Vics Over Y.M.C.A.

The Juvenile Vics ran rough shod over the Y.M.C.A. Juveniles last night in a regular City Juvenile Basketball League game to vault into a first place tie with the St. Dunstans Juvenile: as they defeated the "Y" on the P.W.C. floor by a score of 44-17.

The fIrstIgame of the scheduled doubleheader had to be cancelled as did the senior contest, due to LIHIOYESCOH circumstances.

Held to a 12 lead in the first half by the “ ", the Vics came roaring back in the final canto to rack up 32 points to their opponents‘ l1 for their win.
