The .lliIu=uIu'enient of a »‘§3(l mil- lion grant b; the Atlantic Develop- ment Rnarrl for a major New B‘-run.:w_lr.l< ilVrll‘ri power de\‘cIlop- ment scheme on the Saint John River is bu: news for the whole At- lantic reirimi.

The annruincemeiit was made by State Serreta.r_\-' Pickersgill. the lfederal minister to whom the Board is responsible. ln doing so he emphasized that the Board consid- era the ax-ailahitv of reasonably cheap po\\*er "one of the essential elements in the economic develop. ment of the Atlantic reirion." It might. inrlianrl, be called the most essential for witlioiit it this area ulll aluais be llfll‘lfll(“]"-- ped lncliistrialli‘. -

The pres: story’ from Ottawa on Sa.tiir.rlai‘ noted that an earlier proicrt. announced last September. was a .=lIl““’_" of the feasibility oi‘ installing a submarine power cable between Prince. i-Tdward Island and the mainland. .\Ir. Pic.kt=r.=gil‘. in his statement said a report by con- sulfanfg rm this mrijo‘-("‘. l)E avail- able by the end of this month. mill that if the report is favorable. the Board will hold early f‘llSl.‘llFSlnl13 with the Prince Erlwsrd Island iI°V~ ernmeni and other-'.

One thing about this proposed power cable that worries is that. ifconstructed. it could conceivably be used by the federal authorities as an ai-giinient for dropping the biggpy p)'nj(=(‘l of our I\lorthumlier- land Strait causeway which is now in the planning stage. One of the advanfgg-pg m’ the c;-mseway would be the facilities it would provide for c-.arr,\'i'n5: any number of p0\\‘t=r cables across the Strait, at much less expense. both in construction and maintenance. than a submarine cable.

Now doubt, when the matter comes up for discussion following the presentation of the consultants‘ report. the Shaw (‘my-.=rnment—— "the Party of the C.1use\va,v." be it. l‘el'l'lPI‘l'll1€l‘F'f'l—-\llll make its position clear on this point. And we have no doubt that ‘Mr. Pickersgill. who championed our caiiseway campaign when in Opposition. will appreciate our r'nl1t.‘ern over this matter.

Meanwhile we note that the formation of a North Atlantic De- velopment (‘ouncil is being mooted b.V Governor .lnhn Reed. of Maine. with a view to closer coordination with l"anada's Atlantic Provinces, and making possible the interlock- itlfl of electric power transmission lines between these provinces and like New England .-rm.-. This could spell the beginning of a new future for all of vls on the Atlantic sea- board. if we have the vision to take jrlvantage of it.

‘The Dietenbaker Years

o_' Undoubtedly the most controver- Cial book to be published in Canada during the past year was Peter C. ]Newman's "Renegade in Power: The lliliefenbaker Years." As a service to «Guardian readers. an abbreviated version of this book is appearing in our columns. starting today. The excerpts have been made by the Cuthor himself, for the purpose of iilewapaper publication. and will run in aerial form daily for the next. two weeks. Thus our readers will be able

of the work. and of the praise and criticism which have been lavished upon it.

Evan his critics have credited Mr. Newman with doing an impres- sive job of political journalism. while those who have been loudest in their commendation have con- ceded that there are some blind spots in his judgment of the man and events with which his narrative deals. That's the kind of book it is, and why every Canadian reader will find it profitable to study it at first hand. _

Our own opinion of some as- pects of the book has already ap- peared in these columns. and we mill’ have occasion for further com. mant as the installments come before our readers. Suffice to say for the present that we regard the title as an atrocious one. We agree with a Montreal commentntor's criticism that it was probably chosen for its "shock" valm-.---to sell on the book- stalls. That's a pretty poor excuse for branding any public man as a "renegade": and if Mr. Diefenbaker has shown signs of resenting it, who can blame him?

Of course. Mr. Newman offers a different reason for his choice of tlhis opprobriou-s term. An alibi. rather. we should say. If the rest of the book were as unconvincing as this labored attempt to show that Mr. Diefenbaker was some kind of a messiah who had betrayed 3 spiritual t.rIist—--ii test nowhere ap- plied by the writer to his sub_iec.t's opponents in politics---then it wouldn't be worth reading. But there is much more to it than that.

The whole political period comes to life in this record of the Diefenbaker years. which were our years. too. and in which our own achievements and mistakes. collec- tively. are passed in review. The events desc.1'il')PCl are so recent that we tan all bring our recollections to bear on them: .V“* flirt!’ ha-V8 merged into history. and this is how one newsman. hilthlv C°mll€l9l'|'f in his craft. interprets them for I305- terity.

It won't be the final judgment on John Diefenbaker. hi’ MW meal“- But in fairness to Mr. Ne\vma'n it can be said that he makes no such claim to infallibility. -

Reassuring News

Premier Shaw's announcement that 160 refrigerator cars are being made available for the shipment of Island potatoes to the mainland will be received with relief by our shippers, paiticullarly in view of the fact that the Canadian Nation- al Railways is endeavorimz T0 hl'll18' over as many of its own cars a8 D05- sible. As noted in Saturday's news item, the main complaint has been that other types of cars. particular- ly American-built. units, were not properly insulated and that potal.0t=.s have been arriving at the markets in H frozen condition.

It is to be hoped that there will be no further cause for complaint. in this regard. Adequate l31"“'l3l°" of reefer cars is of prime import- ance to our economy at this time. It is the railws_v's responsibility to give them top priority. and to see that the supply is of the kind that will be suitable.

This has been a bone of con- tention in the past. But. with the speedup in modern transportation methods. and the improvements in the banding of perishable products for shipment at all seasons, there is surely not the excuse there was in years gone by for failing to service ou-r potato shippers today.

We realize. of course. that the railway will always be under dif- ficulties ln providinll f01‘ 01"‘ N‘ quirements in mid-winter. and that the FNR. by and large. is doini! S conscientious job in this connection. But an assist from our politicians. in pinpointing some matter of ur- ggncy, never does any harm.

PARLIAMENT HILL SKI TOW

QZTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Ccincidci’s Foreign Aid Contributions

Despite our pride and luxury in the world's t h i r d higlhesi standard of living. we have had ample cause for shame in be- commz the nlggarri of the rich nations in the matter of aid to under-developed nations.

In 1962 Canada was exceeded in proportionate nirl , every member of the Development. Aid Committee except Denmark and Norway. This committzee in- cludes USA. Japan and all the

' countries of western well as Canada. France led the field with con- trlbiiiions aimountins to $20.93 per head of population. USA sup- plied $19.17 per head. Canada offered a more $266 per head, about one-t.hird of the contri.~hii- ttona made by Britain and West Germany.

Our Foreign Secret.ar_v. Ron. Paul Martin. recently announced in Parliament the government‘: decision on increase our level of foreizn aid very considerably-co about three and one half times the tlzht.-wad level to which we dropped in 1962.

Last week Mr. Martin devoted a whole speech to this topic out- lining Canada’: past conl:ri.bii— tions and future plans and de- scribing the humanitarian obliga- tion upon us to play our part with like-minded industrialized nations. This was the first time In several years that. any cab- inet minister has tackled foreign aid as a subject in itself. worthy of a full speech rather than mere passing reference. And it was welcome and significant that his audience in Hami‘.i.on, Ontario. gave our eloquent. For- eign Secretary an enhhusilastic response.

HELP THEM. HELP US .

Critics of our foreign aid dur- ing the past. I3 years have bas- ed their objections upon a fatal misunderstanding. Whether we have made grants or extended cred‘ s to beneficiary countries, there has always been simple condition. Those monies. or loaned. which were to spent upon equipment or manu- factured mods or foods. had in be spent in Canada. In other words. we were providing Can- adian products rather than in- ternational cash our gifts a d our loans were creating’ jobs for Canadians.

It is important that Canadians should be aware of this basic condition, because such aware- ness must create a favourable maction among Canadians in our foreign aid profiraanme.

"Nothing in of more import.- ence." Mr. Martin acid in Hamil- tnn. "than the creation within Canada of public support. for in- bemational development."

AID BY PAR

which Canada _ valuable contribution is educa- tion. Last year l0043 students from the developing countries

were studying in Canada. Mr. Martin ’ ; wlii‘.e ms Canadian teachers and advisers were serv- ing abroad. 4

A special tribute was paid by Foreign Seci-el.an; Paul Martin to the Credit Union League of Saskatchewan. which has cele- brated its lltih anniversary by launching an educational pro- gramme to teach the teclinlmies of credit uniriu dsvelcnment to the people of Tanganyika.

These are some of the lines in which Canada is contributing to what Paul Martin callcd “this greatest human adventure of all time.“

Youth Conference

Canadian Commission For Uneaco

Unesco‘s first international conference on youth will ta ke place in Grenoble in 1964. A committee under the chairman- ship of L. C. J. Martin. secre- tary of the United Kingd-om National Commission for Un- esco. met recently at Un- esco House in Paris to prepare the conference and to study out.- of - school education for youth. Vice — chairmen of the commit- tee were Jean Livescu. rector of the University of Bucharest. and Bartolo Perez lBl‘lZll). president of the Young Christian Workers: the rapporteur w as I-Ians Dall lDenmarkl, secre- tary - general of the World University Service.

Openinfl the meeting. Re n e Maheu. director - general of Unesco. used figures to indicate the size and urgency of the pro- blems of youth education. T he percentage of you in g people under 20 years of age among the world‘s population is stead- ily growing in most countries. Mr. Malheu cited the following figures: Algeria. 42.6 per cent: Sudan. 57.3 per cent: Philippi- nes. 56.4 per cent; Paragu ay.

52 per cent; Costa Rica. 5549 per cent. Educational statistics, Mr. Maheu added, show that in 10 years 11950 to 1980). the total number of young people in school has risen from 257 million to 417 million. an increase of 62 per cent. The committee of ex- perts indicated the main lines of a study to be undertaken by Unesco before the summer of 1964 on the aims of out-of school education. This was classified under four lieadinzsz train i n g for professional life. for leisure activities. for citizenship and social life. and for international life and understanding. In addi- tion. proldems of youth in rur a I areas. in developing countries relations between youth organ- izations and governments and the training of youth le aders were taken up by the commit- tee. In preparation for the con- ference. Unesco will send ques- tionnaires on the subject of out-

- sc oo ucation and train-

‘ lug for youth to all of its mem- l her states. From the replica i received. it should be possible ‘ in make an evaluation of the

situation on A world - wide basis.

Radio Pill Sends Data

By Dr. Theodore H. van Dellcn

A radio pill may replace the Stomach tube for testing the gastrointestinal tract. Thin should be welcome newa to those who gag or become uauaeatad oi- excited when they have to swal- low a tube. No one will complain of this type of automation. pro- vided the electronic pill brings useful information. The device still is in the reaearch stage and come of the Ilgnala given off during its sojourn in the stom- Ich are not fully understood.

The invention of the transistor reduced the nine and increased the sensitivity of many radios, television sets. and other elec- tronic equipment. Translators also made poulble the develop- ment of a calf-contained radio transmitter small enough to be swallowed as easily as a cap- sule. An aerial. placed come dis- tance from the individual. picks up the radio signal and trans- mits it to S loud speaker and a pen recorder. ~

some of the radio pllla contain transducers sensitive enough to record change in acidity. whereas others register tamper- ature or the internal pressure of the intestine. This means seven- al pill: must be swallowed to obtain the desired information. sound la not recorded because the conventional gurgling and growling abdominal noise: mean little.

This wireless telameterlng. as it is called. make: it possible to study various aspects of the gastrointestinal tract. including the influence of psychic factory. on persons who are reeling UA working in their natural aur- roundinga. The technique has been used. for example, on Lon- don bus drivers to determine the effects of tension on the fun- ctioning of the Intestinal tract Iperlataisia).

This is an innovation. Herefo- foreftests of this nature had to be made in‘the laboratory, oi- fice. or hospital. where th chances of becoming emotional- ly upset. are fewer than they would be on the job.

The method should prove use- ful in studying the mechanism of common symptoms such as pain and dianrhea. Physicians may be able to learn what takes place to produce the feeling of butterflies in the stomach that bother so many nervous per- sons. The radio pill moves throu- gh the intestine. in contrast to the stomach tube and the sig- mnldnscope. This provides a new way of studying the pas- sageway.

PREMATURE BIRTHS

REPLY

Time will tell. Meanwhile. ask your physician to n k e blood and other tests to try to determine the cause of these premature deliveries.

NIGHT CRAMPS R. T. writes: Could arthritis the spine caule cramps in thi 9

of legs at REPLY Yes. that is one cause.

DIFFERENT GLANDS B. D. W. writes: Is thyroid dis- ease the same as parathyroid

disease? REPLY No. The four pea-sized para- thryoid gle nda are located under the thyroid in the neck and are concerned mainly wilt. calcium metabolism.

HEART MURMUR M. S. writes: Can leakage of the heart be caused by nervous- iiesa?

REPLY No. Many persons become nervous when they learn a mul- mur exists. even though heart is otherwise normal.
