U. S. tlechon dt Tariffs

in general, Lalladlall interest in United states elections is concerned chiefly with the effect that victory for either party might have on American trade with foreign count- rics. Traditionally, the Democratic Party has been the party of -.free trade, or at least of liberal tariffs which might be expected to encour- age an unhindered flow of foreign made goods to American markets. The Republicans, in the main, though with less emphasis in recent years, have ht-en inclined to favor "pro- tectionist" trade policies for the benefit of domestic industry. This year, however, the lines are less dis- tinct than usual. indeed, judging by the respective platforms one might almost be justified in saying that the trade policy of the Republicans is more 'liberal than that of the Democrats.

Doubtless, the chief reason for

this tradition-breaking development, as it involves the Republicans, is that President Eisenhower always has been committed in I more or less energetic way to the liberaliza- tion of tariffs to the greatest pos- sible extent commensurate with the national interest. He has not always had his way in this; for anti-free trade sentiment is still very strong among the right-wing Republicans and the more Conservative Demo- crats, both of which groups have exercised much influence in Con- gress and will exercise it again once the election is over, regardless of dis outcome. But for the time being the Presidentis will is law, and of course is reflected in the party: platform. Hence the prominence given to free trade with the usual assurance that domestic industry will not be placed in jeopardy.

The Democratic platform stresses

'the same two points, but in reverse order. "Under Democratic adminis- trations", it reads, "the operation of the Reciprocal Trade Act was con- ducted in I manner that recognized equities for agriculture, industry and labor. Under the present Re- publican administration there has been I. very flagrant disregard of these important segments of our economy, resulting in serious econ- Tomic injury to hundreds of thou- san'ds of Americans engaged in these pursuits. We pledge correction of these conditions". It is easy enough to see here I bid for the support of those industrial concerns, especially small and widely scattered textile fh-ms, which fancy they have been hard hit by imports of cheap goods from Japan and other countries. At the same time itireflelcts the moder- ately conservative viewpoint which under Mr. Stevenson's leadership can be expected to dominate the fall's campaign. This, of course, was one reason why Mr. Truman and other extremely liberal Democrats did not want Mr. Stevenson as leader. ,

It is well known that platforms do not usually govern the policies of governments. There are always loop- holes to excuse non-implementation

i of promises. But, after allowing for

the inevitable "readjustments", it seems fairly certain that, regardless of how the election comes out, American bade policies will con- ,,tinue much as they are now-chain by much theoretical pre- trsde and much manna . on not-ewe . ' :1. , I 2

Between January and.Apl'iI this year, the report states, 4,000 recruits were vaccinated, with 12,000 unvaccinated men sewing as con- trols. In 3 types of virus, 3, 4, 7,- the more common ones among 13 -tests showed conclusively that" the vaccine induced the formation of protective antibodies in the blood. "It would appear promising", the report adds, "that the usual inter- ference with military training rou- tine on account of respiratory ill- nesses may be reduccd by the vac- cine". No doubt, the preparation will in due course be made alallable to the civilian population, thus making another important step in medical progress. Virus diseases aw wide- spread, and their annual (lIl;ll'BSSlng effect on the public health is very great, not to mention the at-onomic losses for which they are respon- sible.

The report stresses that the

' vaccine is effective only in certain

common groups of viruses. Unfor- tunately, it has no effect on the common cold.

New Publication!

Congratulations are due to all concerned in the publication OI tue first issue of The Atlantic Advocate, which has just been issued by Uni- versity Press of New Brunswick Ltd. under the editorship of Mr. Michael Wardell, who is also the publisher. The magazine is a continuation of the 47-year-old Maritime Advocate and Busy East, published at Sack- ville, which Mr. Wardell acquired from the executors of the late Mr. C. C. Avard. It breaks new ground, however, in the scope of its material and in the emphasis which it places on the economic needs and oppor- tunities in these Provinces.

Among other features the work of the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council is dealt with informatively by the president, Mr. R. Whidden Ganong. The full text of the ad- dresses made It the recent Premiers' Conference at Fredericton is given, also an excellent summing up of the conference issues by Mr. W. S. Mac- Nutt, formerly of Charlottetown, now professor of history at the Uni- versity of New Brunswick. Mayor L. A. Kitz of Halifax, I strong ad- vocate of the proposed causeway between Prince Edward Island and the mainland, contributes I forceful article on this subject. The issue also contains the first of a series of copy- right sketches by Lord Beaverbrook on his early days in New Brunswick. The magazine is well printed and illustrated and should prove of gen- eral interest and value as 11 clearing house of information reflecting the life of the Atlantic area.

In I speech to Ukranian coal miners Russian Communist Party chief Khruschev declared "our strength is great but we want to use this strength for peace not for war." Well, there's no reason why they shouldn't. The world. is waiting for some tangible evidence of that praiseworthy intention.

cnmcs TAKE NOTE! Eisenhower's Renominalion

By Marvin Armsmllh Assoclnsed Press. San Francisco

By humiliating President Eisen- hower for a second term, the Re- publicans have put their trust in him to do what no other man has done-complete eight years in the White House at the age of 70.

Eisenhower would be the first president of the United States to live to that age in office. He says he uouldn't be running it he didn't think he could make it--and he says this in the light of two scr- ious illnesses in the last year.

Nonetheless Eisenhowe., lilne Adlai Stevenson, nominated to oppose him by the.-Democrats last week, has made it plain that since presidents Ire mortal more care should be given than hereto- fnreito the choice of selecting I vice-president - who under the U.S. constitution succeeds I presi- dent .who dies in office.

Why did Eisenhower decide to seek re-election at his age. now 65. to perhaps the toughest job in the world after two major ill- nesses-one of which kept him in hospdtal for seven weeks. the other for three?

JOB NOT FINISHED

Two of his public staamenls of the last few, months shed some light.

Last Feb. 19, I bit more than five months after his heart. at- tack, Eisenhower said in announc- ing that he was ..vailahle for I second term:

"The work that I set out four years ago to do has not yet reached the slate of development and fruition that I had hollefi period of I single term in this could be accomplished within the office." ,

On Aug. 1, having decided to stand by his second term bid des- pite major surgery Junelll for In intestinal disorder. Eisenhower was told at a Washington press conference that some of is friends were ”afraid you won't live for another four years." Why, a reporter asked in substance, was he determined to run again?

At the close of his speech of Wei- ccnm the Moderator, the Rt. Rev. R.l-IV. Scott. asked any member: of the Original Secession Church if they would stand up.

Christmas Island

By Wlllhlss Courtenay. 0.3.2.

British Government plans to use Christmas Island in the Pacific Occsn Is I ha for Hydrogen Bomb experiments cuts clesn Icross I promising experiment which South Pacific Air Lines - with all the resources of the Dol- lar Steamship Line behind them- were about to launch. This was In Ilr service using British fly- ing boIts to open I new service from "onolulu to French Tahiti with I fuelling halt It the only suitable base - Christmas Island.

All urrangrnents - after two yesrs negotiations - had reached completion for use of the British Possession at Christmas Island when they were suddenly cancel- led by the plan to use it for nu- clear experiments.

Meanwhile South Pncific Air Lines - who purchased three Short 'Solent' flying boats from New Zealsnd and which Austral- ian pllotsflew to Honolulu - have expended considerable sums in modifying the British designed boats to suit conditions for the route required by the American Civil Aeronautics Authority.

Mr. M.S. Van Burklee. the Vice- president of South Pncllic Air Lines here with whom I have talk- ed several times in Hawaii in the put three years Is the project matured, has now given me this up to dste lmfon-nation. The Short iSolent5' Ire fitted out for 39 pan- sengers wilh I true air speed of 185 knots. The Ill up weight will be 76,200 lbs.

The C.A.A. modifications requir- ed - for which the boats were flown from Honolulu to Oakland. CIlllornlI - included the follow- ing:-ruei dump chutes: . com. plstely changed fuel system; com- plalely hanged fire detection Ind extlnsuisher system: elimation of the engineer's station; Ind mIny minor items.

Thsse modifications have all been carried out during the past .12 months Ind the Short 'Solents' received their Amcricsn Certlfi. cues of Airworthiness.

But Christmas Island is ideally located and the use of any other intermediate bale would involve substantially reduc- ed payload. The route would not then be In economic preposition,

MAXIMUM DISTANCES

The Honolulu-Christmas Island -Tahiti route represents the max- imum dlstances which could be flown with full payload. The Civil Aeronautic: Authority requires I three hour fuel reserve to be car- ried on Iny Ilternstivc route. It is this which est: into pIyloId.

On such I range the flying boats could pick up pu. sengers It San Frsncisco Ind fly the 2.400 miles to Honolulu -- thus extending their sphere of influ- ence and appeal. In two ihopa' the passengers could fly from San Francisco to Tahiti cutting out Christmas Isle.
