Disappointing

The announcement that the De- partment of National Defense is eliminating the Naval Reserve in Prince Edward Island and convert- ing HMCS Queen Charlotte into an armory for military training pur- poses is being received with disap- pointment here. It is, of course, part of an overall plan involving sweep- ing changes and reductions in the whole defense setup. A total of 1,675 RCNR personnel will be af- fected by the changes, with an ex- pected saving of $1.8 million an- nually.

As Hon. J. Angus MacLean pointed out in an Ottawa dispatch yesterday, the Hendy report on the navy, brought in earlier this year, had strongly recommended the re- tention of the Queen Charlotte for the purposes for which it was built. A later commission report, however, has made a contrary recommenda- tion, to the effect that it be desig- nated for use of army units, thus Bvoiding the expense of building a new armory which, as Mr. MacLean points out, was high on the priority list of the previous government at Ottawa.

In a recent televised broadcast, Defense Minister Hellyer said the changes under way would mean greater efficiency as well as a sav- Ing in defense expenditures. But it {s questionable whether the aban- donment of naval training in an Island province, with an _ historic maritime tradition, would be a wise move. It is no argument to say that similar establishments are be- ing closed in Regina, London, Ed- monton and Kitchener, where the same situation does not apply.

Surely, in our ease, a justifiable exception could be made, taking into consideration our geographical position, and the curtailment in other defense activities and con- tracts which is under way.

Our Naval Reserve has a fine record in this province, including the enthusiasm it has engendered in the sea cadet movement. It is not at all apparent to our citizens how the public interest can be served by wiping it out.

rpBurden Of Shame

The expected landslide election victory for President Johnson has disposed of Mr. Goldwater. But. it may also have less happy conse- quences if the Republican party does not do a thorough job of house- cleaning, and rid itself of the burden of shame for some of the tactics employed in promoting its presi- dential candidate’s fortunes on this occasion.

A feature of this campaign was the torrent of scurrilous paperback books emanating from Goldwater headquarters, which flooded the country and which consisted mostly of innuendoes, insinuations and double meanings aimed at present- ing Mr. Johnson in a shoddy light. It was this campaign that led Wal- ter Lippmann, one of the world’s most respected political commenta- tors, to say that the whole ugly business had dragged the election down to the lowest level within memory.

How much of this literature was actually distributed with Mr. Gold- water’s knowledge it is hard to say. Some of it was passed out by the John Birch society and other ex- tremist groups. But it was all aim- ed at the character assassination of Goldwater’s opponent.

Several examples of this type of smear are cited by the Milwaukee Journal in a recent editorial. One of them will probably be enough for the stomachs of our readers. It

fs from the book, “A Texan Docks at Lyndon,” by J. Evetts Haley. Haley, a former defeated can- didate for the governorship of Texas, depicts Alice, Texas, as the birthplace of Johnson’s allegedly sinister power. He adds: “What a strange coincidence that Lee Har- vey Oswald, on his return from Mexico shortly before the Kennedy assassination, detoured from Laredo and spent the night ‘in search of a job’ at Alice, in Jim Wells county, before proceeding to Dallas and his world shocking deed!”

Haley concedes in his book that he used rumors liberally, but says “rumor is a psychological phenom- enon in the public mind, the exist- ence of which is an historical fact.” This is his excuse for dishing out the kind of tripe that brought the vermin out of the woodwork, and that will require a major fumiga- tion job on the part of the Repub- lican party if it hopes to survive.

Fine Island Showing

As indicated by Halifax reports from our provincial farm editor, Mr. Matheson, Prince Edward Island eattle are making a magnificent showing at the Atlantic Winter Fair. On Monday they took every grand championship in the show ring, and captured most of the top prizes on Tuesday. In potatoes, homecraft and other displays as well, Island exhibitors have been in the forefront.

Such successes were not unusual in the old days, when the winter fair was held in Amherst. Indeed, there has scarcely been an occasion when our producers failed to add laurels to our Island crown as the garden province of Canada. Competition is becoming keener, however, es- pecially in the breeding of high grade cattle. Some of the finest ani- mals in Canada are on display in Halifax this week, and the scores achieved by our Island showmen are being noted across the country.

If supremacy in these lines counts for anything, it is in Char- lottetown or Summerside that this big agricultural fair should be held. Perhaps when we get our causeway it will pay to reopen this question, which arose after the de- struction of the Amherst plant some years ago. Whatever the ex- penditure involved in providing ade- quate facilities, it would be a good investment. A decision along this line would rest with the fair man- agement and would involve, of course, substantial assistance in the way of grants.

Certainly, as a permanent home for the fair, Prince Edward Island would seem to be the logical choice. Its claims are being strengthened every year by the outstanding achievements of Island exhibitors.

Front Place For Youth

Canada takes pride in being young, and it is fitting that in the preparations for the 1967 World’s Fair at Montreal so much emphasis is being placed on youth. Indeed, the organization has a Youth Ad- visory Committee consisting of rep- resentatives from about 25 Canadian organizations. This committee has recommended building a youth pa- vilion at the fair, a centre of inter- national youth conventions, and establishment of a hostel in Old Montreal to house young visitors.

Several other proposals for cul- tural competitions and exhibitions to draw the young people of the world into the fair have been put forward. We don’t know whether this objective has been followed be- fore, but certainly it is a splendid one for an exposition whose theme is to be “Man and His World.” As the Ottawa Journal well says, what happens to that world in the dan- gerous years ahead relates directly to what youth is doing and think- ing right now.

In this connection The Journal notes that 62 per cent of the worlt’s population qualifies as “youth’— under 30 years of age. Even if the figures were much smaller it would hardly be necessary to stress the importance of having the young play a major role in Expo. 67. —

And it conclusively showed that quick action caa avert the outbreak of a local war, which in this button-happy age might ey escalate into a global wa

Following up the warm rece: tion given to Mr. Pearson’s sum gestion last year, Mr. Martin has been working closely with the Nordic nations and other middle and small powers to or- ganize a preliminary confer ence in Ottawa.

Condemned Cells

Montreal

It is good to hear the Minister of Justice condemn St. Vinceat de Paul to extinction. This pris- on has long been a blot on the conscience of the country. When the official visit was paid by Mr. Favreau and others on Mon- day it was found that prisoners were still being held in 251 of

e 380 cells that were ‘“‘con- demned without reservation” by the Archambault Royal Com- mission of 1938.

The prison, as such, has be- come a discredited relic of a cruel past. These cells at St Vincent de Paul are in parts of the original buildings construct- ed between 1872 and 1890. The cells, in the old area under the dorne, are like dungeons. Each stoutly-barred cubicle measures about four by seven feet. Almost the whole space is taken up when the hinged bunk is lower- ed Many of the cells are ‘‘buck- et cells,’ without running water.

Certainly the statement by Mr. Favreau that St. Vincent de Paul will be closed, for prison purposes, in two years’ time is to be welcomed. But the pres- sure of opinion should be exert- ed to make certain that this deadline is kept.

Gazette The ee with staenients about St. Vincent de Paul

But last November he admitt- ed that civil service procedures are so formal and so cumber- some, with so many people hav- ing to have their say in matters big and small, that disappoint- ing progress had been made. In the future he hoped to press for- ward with his plans ‘‘without go- ing through a maze of red tape every day.”

Over many years now St. Vin cent de Paul has had few, any, defenders. It has been re peaterly condemned. But little has happened. It may be hoped that this new condemnation o the old prison, and the two years’ deadline—will not be ‘ost in another maze of red tape

If a prison, condemned ‘with out reservation’ in 1938, ceases to be a prison by 1966, action could scarcely be said to have been taken too soon.

Deciduous Days

Predisposing Cancer Factors

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Deileo

The cause of cancer remains a mystery although some of our newer theories, ine! those implicating viruses, add prom ise of the truth. In addition, we do not know whether there is a single cause for all cancers o£ different causes for differen‘ types. The latter is ae . cal hecates certain f. in crease the risk of Gianna the disease in various parts of the

body.

What are the predisposing fac- tors? Excessive exposure to the sun, X-rays, arsenic, tar, and petroleum products, makes the skin more susceptible. Poor dea- tal hygiene, nutritional deficien cies, and tobacco encourage ma- lignancies in the mouth, throat larynx, and tongue. Too much X-ray, iodine deficiency, and goitrogenic substances have this influence on the thyroid.

Air pollution, including cigar et smoke, chromate fumes, and dust from metals and asbestos, are high on the list in lung can- cer. Breast tumors occur more often in women with previous mammary disease and a family history of the condition. Womer who have not borne children are more likely candidates.

There is a hereditary tenden- cy in carcinoma of the stomach, especially among those with group blood; pernicious ane- mia and lack of hydrochloric acid play important roles.

Parasites, cirrhosis (harden- ing), and nutritional deficiencies often precede a malignancy 2 the liver and it is rare to find a victim of gall bladder cancer who does not have gallstones. Polyps, ulcerative colitis, and 4 family tendency are mentioned frequently when the colon and rectum are affected.

Cancer of the uterus is anoth- er puzzler but many victims have glandular disorders, or are obese, infertile, or diabetic In- volvement of the male genitalia is more common in the uncir- cumcised and the unclean. The excessive use of certain aniline and related dyes is an element in the bladder cancer.

Avoid these irritants, if pos- sible, and decrease your chance of getting cancer.

: Tites: I’m 62 years old and pall like to move to Flor ida to get away from cold wint- ers. But after I’m in the sun five or 10 minutes I get woozy. Do you think this would be a bad move for me?

REPLY Yes, provided the sun ts re- sponsible for this sensation. Why not spend a few weeks in Flor ida this coming winter, to test your theory?

DELAYED FEELING A writes: What is unresol- ved pneumonia?

Pneumonia usually hea‘s completely as soon as the cau- e micro-organisms are con- trolled. But now and then the disease is stubborn and the patch or lobe of infection is slow

in absorbing (unresolved).

This emphasis on reduction, rather than elimination, may not be too pleasing to the Euro: pean partners who have ac cused Britain of breaching inter- nationa] trade 4) ments

But then, again, Brita’ doesn’t acknowledge this breach. Instead, James Callaghan, chan cellor of the Exchequer, told London erp Tuesday that The general Agreement on Tar-

“We cannot be pilloried,” he says, “because we have chosen the instrument that will handi- cap the flow of trade least and is in the best interest of Brit- ain.’’

WON’T BE PUSHED

Indicating he won't be pushed into any hurried action, Callag- han said the Labor govern ment’s aim is to “reduce” the special import tariffs ‘‘as our position shows an unmistakable improvement.”’ As for complete elimination of the surcharge» this would be done ‘‘as soon as we are confident that we are well and truly set on the road to a permanent ap Al in our external position.”

Cambodian Sanctuary

Christian Science Monitor

Cambodia is gambling on vic-

tory by the Communist system in East Asia. It is leaving only a small postern gate open for an alternative.

Prince Sihanouk, who is the Cambodian Government in per- son, seems to think that com- munism is the wave of Asia’s future. He accepts the French thesis that the United States has made, and will continue io make, the capital mistakes thet resulted in the expulsion of France from its empire of Indo- china. So he permits increasing use of his territory by the Viet Cong, as far as can be determin- ed from the conflicting news re- ports out of that area.

There is no overt proof that the Prince himself has authoriz- ed a privileged sanctuary for the guerrilla forces based on Hanoi and aided Peking. The recent incidents involving Americans and Vietnamese forces with Viet Cong on around the Cambodian frontier took place in remote and al- most impassable terrain where a struggle is in progress for the

Feathered Migrants

There is no fixed date for most migrations, but one can tell the hour of the season, if not of the day, by watching the birds. Some of the warblers start moving south by August, and most of the swallows have gone by September.

The blackbirds start moving out before the autumn equinox, and before October's frosty nights have blackened the gard- en the flickers have made ready to take off for warmer places.

The robins linger, but now they gather in flocks, fatten’ ou late fare and are restless on chilly mornings and dark days Some of them will resist the im. pulse, find food and shelter in the swampy thickets and brushy

woodlands and spend the winter.

But most of them will be gone in another few weeks, following the sun to more _ hospitable areas. They are the restless ones now. Perhaps they see the restless ducks that still haunt the coves of upland ponds and sluggish streams but take flight at any excuse.

The geese, which seem to have a special weather sense, will wait a while longer. They have already moved down from the far north, and one of these nights, when there is a around the moon or high- ‘lung mare’s tails in the sky, the flocks will begin to line out, gab- bling in the moonlight, long necks pointed south.
