Screening Of Refugees

'l'ne squililble at a Toronto refu- gee-li9('f'iVlllg station when one Hun- garian accused another of being a S,.,.,...1 ,,.,llL-9 agent points up a prob- lem which seems to have received little attention licrctofore. F13-mt?i)i. the possibility of Communist spies' coiniiig into this country under the guise of refugees. There has been little or no scrceiiing of apllllcamsi and while this has facilitated the mmcmeiit of refugees. it has also made it easy for iiiidesirzible persons make entry. Immigration Minister jovial, always

to Pickei-sgill. always C(1Ckstll'P. seems to think the danger is extremely remote. since. as he put it, ”the Communist Party never got a foothold in Hungary." This. 01' course. is nonsense.

The Communist Party in Hun-

gary was a strong, well-organized, ruthless force for ten years or more. And, although it has fallen on evil days in recent months. it is Still 8 force to be reckoned with. Thousands of bureaucrats and swarms Of SCCFGI agents, the traditional bulwarks of dictatorships, are still going about their work, some out of fear. no dgubt. others out of lust for petty power and gain. It would be foolish to imagine that all Hungarians have turned against the Party machine. probably very few supporters of the regime have fled the country of their own free will and choice, but t.he possibility that some of them have been sent out by the Government for trouble-making activities in Canada and other countries ought not to be completely overlooked. just because Mr. Pickersgill can find no record of a Communist Party in Hungary- It would be an excellent opportunity for establishing espionage agents abroad. if the puppet Government of Hungary and their Soviet masters were so disposed.

In the United States. according to a late report. the screening of refugees in even more thorough than that used for ordinary immigrants. That is probably unnecessary. On the other hand, the Canadian method of requiring virtually no screening of any kind might be dangerous. There must be I happy medium that could look after the situation well enough without submitting the thou- sands of innocent refugees to un- avoidable delay and red tape.

Another Vaccine Report

A medical report which should be of considerable value in the field of pedi'dtt'icS comes from Vanderbilt tfniversity in New Orleans. It says that a ten month study by a re- searcli team has revealed that Salk polio vaccine can be given success- fully to infants in combination with protective measures against dipr theria. whooping cough and tetanus. The three vaccines are combined in stipulated proportions in one single iny.-ction. '

The new melliod is still undergo- ing clinical tents, but the results so far achieved are said to be highly satisfactory. It will not, the report indicates, do away with the need for second and third shots which are necessary for complete protection against polio. The second shot is also a combination of the three prepara- tions, while the third is polio vaccine I only. The report also disclosed that satisfactory response had come from injections of polio vaccine alone to infants only six weeks old.

So. year by year the pressure against human ills takes on new strength Ind new successes. It is Iuch I short time slum In effective polio vaccine first appeared in medi- cIl records. But already vast num- TIT! of children have been freed hurt: the (E11187 of hnwm their

Unlhinkable?

A U.N. official has described as "unthinkable" an Israeli charge that Egyptian troops are following hard on the heels of Yugoslav soldiers who are taking up positions in the Sinai desert. One wonders where this official has been these past few weeks. He certainly hasn't been read- ing the papers or following the news from Cairo and the UNEF Com- mand. It must be common know- ledge by now that nothing .the Egyptian dictator may set out to do is unthinkable. In every single in- stance he has had his way. He has virtually ordered the l.'.N. force to leave the Port Said area. although the understanding was that it should remain there until 'the canal had been reopened to traffic. He has flatly refused to allow the work of clearing the canal to begin until he is readyito give the order. He has decided which countries may and which countries may not send troops to the Middle East: and he has stated bluntly that Israeli ships will not be permitted to use the canal because ”Egypt is still at wrir with lsrael."

in all these things the LYN. has taken dictation from Colonel Nasser. and there is every indication that it will continue to do so. And now that Prime Minister Nehru lias worked his charm on President lCiS('llll0W(?l' and ”demanded" that nothing he

done about the canal wiiliout F.E.Vl'Jt's .

approval, it is quite possible that the waterway will revert uncondi- tionally to Egyptian control. Indeed, in light of what has happened so far. the only ”iinthinkable" thiniz is that the l'.N. will exercise any real influence over Middle East affairs.

A move is under way in the United States Congress to put a ban on filibustering. Almost certainly it is doomed to failure.

Last summer my laiindresl and I packed the family enrryali with the essentials of a tour. and took my mother to Prince Edward iii- lnnd, which was her girlhood home and whose red mud has not sqiieczeri atwecn her toes these many years. Just as we were I- boiit to cast off and depart. our telephone rang and it wnii Mrn. Paul llarqui.-i. I good neighbor. who said. ”l hear you're going to the-yigh-lands,"

”li'ould you," she said. "bring me home I mess of iica moss?

W,iSHlX(;ili(lN. D. ('T - If you are a journalist in Washington for the first time you find yourself so busy talking and listening, espec- ially at a moment like thin when the air is clouded Villh issues and iissiics, that you tend to neglect to see the sights. That would be iinfnrgivable here in Washington, site of the nations great monu- ments. seat of government. and scene of momentous decisions.

So yesterday in the company of the wife of A very old friend of ours. Mr. Coburn Kidd who.

after a severe illness. has return- , ed to his important duties in tho i

State Department. we set off to see something of Washington. It was a lovely Ifternoon and the white marble columns sparkled in the sunlight and you were truly conscious that you were in the pre- sence of history.

Here, in this land, where union was con. celvcd. where union was tlironten. ed, and where union no gloriously triumphed, nnolher union is jeo- pnrdlscd. that union safeguarded not by any Constitution but by the common belief in liberty held by the l-Inglis-ti Ipeaking peoples, ti-at pniisionate Ittachment to free dnm which has found eloquent ex- pression on both sides of the At- lantic.

That union lil. if not in peril, It least shaken. There is discord between the partners. The mindl of the men here in Washington who interpret the new: are vexed and troubled. As William Jnmnn pointed out when an Irgument over principle rages it becomes inflamed by emotion. The current Irgumenf seems to have ruched the "Tu Quoque” stage.
