a Another Hazardous Mission

a The ways of the Communist ' world are peculiar. We learn from a P® Tokyo despatch that Red China is @ applauding the results of Premier Khruschev’s American tour, and |” predicting an easing of world ten- * sions. The Peking radio quotes Ta , Kung Pao, a newspaper reflecting of- | ficial, views, as expressing “immense /* delight” over the trip. ; 4 Yet while the trip was in progress, | Peking was busy in jamming radio reports from neighboring countries concerning Mr. Khruschev’s activi-

4 , ties. The Red Chinese press played "the visit down very heavily too, and * reported only those statements and |. events which highlighted the differ- _- ences between the Soviet Union and ® the United States. » — Now Mr Khruschev-is in Peking

for the celebration of the 10th an-

4 niversary of the Communist victory _

on the Chinese mainland. A good time will-be had by all. The Chinese * Premier’s delight in Mr. Khruschev’s

4 pilgrimage of peace to Washington will be equalled only by the Soviet Premier’s joy in noting the immense progress China is making and the ~* geal she is showing in furthering Communism’s peaceful aims in Tibet and other outlying parts. There will be feastings and festivals, toasts and | embracings and speeches to no end.

Yet behind it all there will be

suspicion on both sides that ‘some dirty work is under way. Another ten years of such “peaceful” pro-

'- gress and China may well be the

_ dominating Communist nation of the world, with Russia the satellite, or- biting round the still rising sun. And Mr. K., after all, didn’t succeed in getting Red China admitted to the United Nations and didn’t really do anything at all to advance Chinese interests on his American junket. What then did he go for?

We shouldn’t be entertaining such feelings—it’s not Christian— ‘but the Old Adam in us keeps specul- ating hopefully on the prospect of these internal Communist tensions developing. We had thought, for a time, that the tensions were all on the Western side; but this was only because, in democratic countries, there is so much more freedom of expression. And psychologists tell us that the worst thing for tensions is to keep them bottled up, to suppress them and try_to make out that they

~ don’t exist.

We have been sympathizing with President Eischower on his difficul- ‘ties in reconciling free-world views and translating them into statements acceptable to his allies in his talks with the Soviet leader. Perhaps we

. should spare a little sympathy for

ets

Mr. Khiushchev as well, at this hazardous stage in his relations

with his friends in the Orient.

A Goad Word Lost

In referring yesterday to the ill- advised campaign for eliminating the Union Jack from Canada’s national » flag, we neglected to refer to a sim- +, jlar drive which, unfortunately, has * “been more stfccessful in catering ‘to those whose fears. of British im- perialism keep them awake at nights. This has to do with the excellent word Dominion, as a description of Canada, which is lapsing into almost total oblivion. It survives in “Domin- ? don Bureau of Statistics” but in few

, if any other official expressions. The Financial Post takes note of

It referred to the, hope, now fulfilled, that Canadians would: have “dominion from sea to sea.” It is a fine-sounding word; with plen- | ty of history, and very useful as a Bynomym for Canada.

to be, the Reich. Australia is the Commonwealth. ,

“Confederation” won’t do for Can- ada because, in our usage, confeder- ation means a particulor event of 1867. “Realm” won’t:do either; it has no history in Canada and sounds phony. Nobody is going to talk about the “Realm Government,” meaning Ottawa. “Federal Government”, the phrase most used currently, is ac- ‘curate enough but flat and undis- tinguished. It might mean the gov- ernment of Switzerland, Germany, Australia or any of ‘half-a-dozen oth- er places.

“What’s the matter with ‘Domin- ion’?” asks The Post. Nothing at all, except that .we have allowed our- selves to be bamboozled by a few noisy demagogues and officious bureaucrats. We have been too in- different to the activities of these busybodies, and allowed this piece of our heritage to be lopped off without protest. “It ought to be re- vived,” says our Toronto contempor- ary; but how? It has gone, we are afraid, for good.Let us make sure that the same indifference doesn’t lose us more of the things we should

‘be setting value upon,

The Last Survivors

We used to hear a lot. about a “super-race” in Germany, but an ar- ticle in the current issue of Imperial Oil Review reports the discovery of a “Valley of the Giants” in the Swan Hills area of Alberta, 150 miles northeast of Edmonton, which pos- es an intriguing zoological riddle for natural scientists. The giants in this case are a super-race- of grizzly bears, believed to be the remnants

of the plains grizzlies which once’ |

moved with the buffalo herds across the prairies and were thought to be extinct before the turn of the cen- tury. abe Ak The bears measure up to 10 feet from nose to hind paws, and weigh up to half a ton. In the bear king- dom, only the Alaska Kodiak tops that. Fewer than 400 of the mon- sters ‘are believed to have survived in an 8,000-square-mile domain of woods, streams and small moun- tains: which, until recently, was one of -the continent’s few primeval spots. Today oil has been found in Swan Hills, and more than 100 dril-

ling and seismic crews are operating -

in the region.

The Swan Hills grizzligs are not Rocky Mountain or coastal grizzlies, nor do they appear related to any other type of bear now living on the continent. Early. explorers reported seeing thousands of “big bears” roaming the prairies, and prior to 1850 Fort Walsh in southern Sas- katchewan was shipping as many as 600 bearskins a year. These grizzlies were described as longer than any other, with needle-sharp claws and colors ranging from chocolate to sil- ver brown. The Swan Hills grizzlies match this description. :

Today’ the huge bears appear to be moving north again, as supply roads and clanking bulldozers enter their remote kingdom. This has pushed them closer to the settle- ments along Lesser Silver Lake, and there is concern about their surviv- al. Oil crews have been requested not to shoot them. The Canadian Petro- leum Association circularized the in- dustry, asking co-operation. Garbage dumps, always a magnet for bears, were moved farther from cookhous- es, and some camps banned rifles altogether. Now the Alberta. govern- ment has backed up the conserva- tion effort by placing Swan Hills off-limits to all bear-hunters. ;

EDITORAL NOTES

Both the major Canadian railway companies are going to make “an aggressive bid to get more people to travel on their trains. In makin own announcement, the CNR desterib. es the move.as “one of the biggest gambles in its passenger trafic his- tory,” and no doubt it is just that, because the plan involves sharply re- duced prices in the off-season and

all-inclusive package deals. Success ,

will depend on volume. ” * * ;

Owls, whom we were led to believe were grave, wise birds, are actually very stupid. That’s the opinion of Ro- ger S. Payne, biologist at Cornell University, who has been studying the creatures for some time. “They are even dumber than chickens, if that’s possible,” says this pundit. “An owl makes a hen look like a mental giant.” He maintains, in short, that these nocturnal birds—the sym- bols of Minerva, goddess of wisdom— are totally incapable of learning any- thing from experience and are en- dowed, in fact, with little more than the brains (if they may be called

by eating raw or uncooked meat, usually pork. It isn’t the meat itself which causes the trouble, but a small round worm known medically as Trichinella spiralis.

These worms enter the diges- tive tract in tiny capsules which are dissolved in the stomach. The _|larvae are released into the in-

testines and in about two days become mature.

GET INTO BLOOD STREAM

‘The female Trichinella spiralis produce several hundred young Jarvae that find their way into the blood stream. They are then ,} carried into the muscles where they grow rapidly, eventually cal- | cify and die.

The symptoms usually begin with gastro - intestinal distur- bances’ followed by severe pain in the muscles. The acute phase lasts anywhere from one to two weeks Fortunately, most victims recover.

AFFLICTS HOGS, TOO

Hogs contract the disease by eating infected raw pork scraps. If the animals are fed entirely on grain, of course, they do not develop trichinosis.

Not all persons*who eat infect- ed mezt develop the sericus var- fety of the jllness. Just how much it will affect a person, depends upon how much of the infected portion is eaten and the person's own resistance to the disease. OUTBREAKS IN GERMANY

You ean pick out two clear re- sults .of Khrushchev’s visit to America: -

1. He and Eisenhower agreed to go on talking —:rather than fighting—about Berlin and “all outstanding. international ques- fons

2. Both men came to believe that one is just as afraid of a nuclear war as the other.

On the second point, we have Khrushchev’ word for it that the | president is sincere in his desire | for peace. American officials are reported to have come to the be- lief that the Russian‘ dictator is | similarly sincere.

This is quite a step forward.\ Only a few months ago, such ad- missions from either side would +-have been almost unbelievable.

But there is another side to the Khrushchev visit.

Khrushchev’s performance in a highly publicity-conscious _ coun- try—in which he made-it appear that he was not entirely the vil- lain he had been depicted—over- shadowed the fact that many So- vict policies have not changed at all,

For example, in his heated ex- change with a group of labor leaders in San Francisco, he was asked why the Russians inter- fered in Hungary in 1956. Khrush- chev's reply:

“There was no_ interference. There was a counter-revolution. Thugs and hooligans who re- ceived arms from outside took power in Budapest. And the gov- ernment asced us for aid and we gave it, and we're proud of it. We are proud of it as a feat. There would be fascism there if we had not.”’ . so

AHEAD ON POINTS :

Oniy the day after his talk’ on disarmament to the UN, Khrush- chev lost his temper—one of sev- eral outbursts that some observ- ers say thay have been planned —and told an audience: -

They improved further on this technique by making an earth —

Periscope equipped with a pow- * . |

erful light. With this they can inspect a tomb without waiting © to have pictures developed.

With these new methods, ar cheologists have investigated 850 tombs at Tarquinia and 500 at Cerveteri, another Etruscan site. “They were disheartened at the way tombs have been rifled by clandestine diggers in both an- cient and recent times. The ear- ly tomb robbers sought only jew- elry and precious metals. Pres- ent-day plunderers take almost anything.

Despite vandals, art works of unusual beauty have survived. One newly discovered fresco, ex- ecuted during the second half of the 6th century B.C., shows charioteers whipping up wild- eyed horses. Athletes run, jump, and hurl the discus. The unknown artist is considered one of the best Etruria ever produced.

FROM PO TO POMPEII

The Etruscans flourished from about the 8th century B.C. un- til the Romans overwhelmed them sometime between the Ath century B.C. and the beginning of the Christian Era, At the height of their power, 12 Etrus- can city-states ruled much of It- aly from south of Pompeii to the Po Valley.

With powerful fleets, Etrus-- cans dominated the Tyrrhenian Sea for centuries against Greeks and Carthaginians. They antici- pated the modern philosophy of giving equal status to women— a custom § considered and barbaric by the Greeks and Romans.
