The Polalo Tariii

'l'he Federal (loycrument. it is announced, has sought and received approval under the (lcncral Agree- ment on Tariffs and 'l'rade to re- negotiate its potato tariff with the l'nited States. This is what our po- tato producers have been asking for a long time, with a view to havinz the Present seasonal Canadian tariff on 1'5, potato imports extended over the full year. lleretolore they have received little encouragement from the powers that be. The Tariff Board conducted an investigation in- to the situation and reported to the Goycrnment in November. I953. hut recommended no specific action. Last August Finance Minister Iiarrls was quoted as saying that it would be ImpnSsllllP for Ottawa to induce the US. administration to change the American tariff on Canadian pota- toes. Now, at least, the Government is going to try. It may be that the proximity of I general election campaign has had something to do with this show of concern at Ottawa. in any case. our producers are in no mood to have this issue treated as I political foot- ball. They will expect prompt and energetic action, not just a few empty gestures. Strong arguments were presented before the Tariff Board and these should be brought up to date and used by the Government to the best possible advantage.

. l I The I400 Million l'

President Eisenhower seems as- . cured of Congressional support for that part of his "doctrine" which i would authorize him to send military forces into the Middle East at his discretion to repel or forestall Soviet Iggresslon. Even those Congressmen who are not too happy about the possible implications of this stand-by authority will probably support the request; for, as some of them have pointed out, the President already has the authority as Commander- ln-Chief to order forces into any area where he believes American in- terests to be in jeopardy: and, since Congressional approval in this partl- cular instance is intended mainly for psychological purposes they see no point in arguing against it.

The economic phase of the doc- trine which would make possible the expenditure of 5400 million in the Middle East area. to be used at the President's discretion. is, however. being subjected to a good deal of criticism: and at the moment it is by no means certain that it will pass ('onr:ressional scrutiny. at least in its

I llrcselll form. Already some amend- ments have been proposed iylvirll. if ado:-tnrl. would undermine the Presi- dent's overall plan.

Conquering Disease

Medical science has not yet brought relief from the terrors of disease among Asiatic peoples to such an advanced extent as that which has benefited Western civili- zation. However, it is making great strides in that direction. according to a report issued by the United Nations Children's Fund which works in co-operation with the World Health Organization, Food and Agri- cultural Organization. the Colombo Plan and other UN. agencies. The report says that smallpox, cholera and the plague have all been brought under reasonable control. The present danger comes from ma- laria. tracboma. tuberculosis, yaws and leprosy. It is estimated that 300 million Asiatics suffer from malaria to some extent. But. thanks to DDT and the support given to health pro- grams by local governments and the people generally. it is gradually be- ing mastered. For the first time In history at least half of the population of Asia are now protected against it. The campaign against trachoma --a disease of the eyes-is now un- der way: and it is believed that an antidote discovered in North Africa and tested in Nigeria and Taiwan will prove to be completely effective. At least I00 million persons in 10 Asiatic countries have suffered from tracboma until recently.

There is as yet no sure way of controlling tuberculosis. However, in- oculations have kept sufferers from infecting others: and the hope is that in the reasonably near future TB. will be no more I problem in the East than it is now in the West and that in course of time it will be eradicated altogether. Yaws. which hitherto was extremely prevalent, is being treated by penicillin with good effect; but it still must be regarded as a serious scourge among Asiatlcs. Leprosy can be cured In about I month. The great difficulty there is lack of accommodations for the mil- lions of sufferers seeking treatment: but it is by no means the source of terror that it was for many cen- turies.

The Director of UNICEF gives British medical research most of the credit for the successful attacks on traditional diseases in Asia. He men- tions particulnrly "Lister, whose pre- ventive medlclnes altered drastically the accepted medical practice; Ross. who discovered the communicable nature of malaria: Fleming, who brought penicillin and antibiotics to the aid of mankind."

SAME PASSAGEWAY FOR BOTH?

Between Egypt And lsrauel

Christian Science Monitor

The start of the present set of complications in the Middle East was an invasion of the Sinai Pen- insula in late October by troops of the State of Israel. The provo- cation which gave Israelis I sense of justification for that attack was I series of raids by Egyptian fed- Iyeen or commandos apparently based in the Gaza Strip or in Sinai.

Now, It the bidding of the Unit- ed Nations, Israel has withdrawn its forces from all but one-fourth of the Sinai section of Egypt. and UN forces from Yugoslavia have facilitated the transfer of El A- rish back to Egyptian hands-

Thus there remain under Israeli military nccupItiun It the mom- ent two important Irr.-Is with which the United Nations must be deeply concerned of it is to con- tribute tn I solution of the long hos- tllities between the Arab states Ind Isrscl.

REFUGEE PROBLEM

One of these is the Gay: Strip, put of the former Palestine inan- date which became the home of some 200.000 refugees when occu- pied by Egypt. The other is the coast along the mouth of the Gulf og Aqaba, where I few months I- go Egyptian gun batteries kept Is- raeli ships from reaching the port of Eluth.

This whole region is one which would profit grnily. as Hugh Gait- skell, British Labor Party leader, has suggested. from the existence of buffer zones between Israel and its principal ArIbic -speaking neighbors. There is great merit IISO in the proposal described I few days Igo on this pale fin In article by G.H. De-mpsterl for I buffer state on the Sinai Pr-ninsull sponsored and administered by the UN.

How can any remnant of LN In- ihnrity in these areas he preserv- ed? The (lcneral Assembly must act quickly if such an oblccl is to be accomplished is matters are going. the L'N limcrgcncy Force will merely stand bcluccn outgo- ing and lfI('0l'ilIflK Irllops in the process of In l'lE)'Dlia" takeover. NEVER I-I(ll'PT'S

But there are snllte wry impur- Ilni conditions the IV should In- Ilst upon in any return of territory to Egyptian possession. in the first place. the Gala Strip has nev- er been under I-'.gypt': .sm('r('illI- ty. only under occupation Nine tenth: of the rl'spunslIliill)' in the Gaza Strip that for feeding Ind housing the n-mum has been borne since I949 hr the UN. with more nhslrrlrlmn than assistance from the Arab sliilfs

Secondly. the l'.V has been com- mitted cicr since a Security Cairn- tll resolution of l9.'vl to the pro- position that Israel Commerce should be permitted through the Suez Canal The canal question would perhaps better he left out of the Sinai settlement. but the Gulf of Aqaba offers the most pn- ciiz-Il Illernstive use of the can- I .

TIIE BEAVER'S TAIL

Sir. -- On Monday evening I uatched the Fist) and Game T.V. Show. Outdoor Forum. and was enriched by the choicest morsel of natural history. perhaps I should say un-natural history, I have ever listened to. Beaver were under discussion and the question was asked "How do beaver know when I break occurs In their dam?" Answer: "They sleep with their fails in the water and know the minute the water begins to low. or."

Ornilhologists differ on this suir jcct. Some claim beaver are possessed with natural radar that ielelzraphs any unnatural movement of water held back by their dam. Others are of the opin- ion their hearing is so sensitive they are warned by the increas- ed volume of sound made by run- ning water. One thing is certain they know. In the writer's book I besverin tail serves I variety of-purposes but draws the line It being used as a water barometer.

INFLATION OF CURRENCY

GETTING T0 SLEEP P0!!!

REAL PROBLEM FOR SOME.

Have I tough time getting up this morning? Wouldn't you nth- er have stayed in bed I little long- everyone feels like this once in I while.

Actually, though. eight hours' sleep usually is enough for the Iverage person. There can be no steadfast rule. You might need more or you might need less.

If you go to bed early and arise early, you'll probably get along best with eight or even nine hours' sleep. If you're I night owl, you may get by with only six or seven. Some do with even less sleep. SLEEPING PERIOD

Your efficiency is geared to your sleeping period. If you're in bed early and up early, you will be most efficient during the early part of the day- As evening approaches. you lose I good part of your effic- eincy.

For night owls. who sleep pretty late and just hate to get up. effi- ciency reaches its peak during the evening hours. Usually it will be very low when you awake.

You men are apt to be in I daze while shaving and you'll probably stumble through your early chor- es. And you women might find gel- ling breakfast I difficult task.

Whatever time you go to bed, the first three hours of slumber will benefit you most. That's when you sleep the soundest.

SLOW TREND

After three hours. there is I slow trend toward waking and you're apt to toss and turn more.

Getting to sleep, however. is the real problem for many of you. You'll toss and turn and spend I good deal of time trying to force yourself to sleep. However, there are several dos and don't: to fol- low to help you into the land of nod.

Let's consider the don'Is.

Don't depend upon sleeping pills or potions. while they might be all right if prescribed by I doc- tor in case of In illness, they are only I crutch which you might. come to depend upon. They might lead you into the drug habit, if you misuse them.

Don't exercise before you go to bad. if you sleep poorly. If you want to reduce or develop your body, wait until morning to per- form your Icrobsilcs. Exercise. both physical Ind mental, tends to Ilen you rather thsn sootbs you.

For that reason, don't try to solve any uoublesomo problems just before turning in. With I good night's sleep, you'll be able to tackle them much easier the next day.

Tomorrow I'll give you some helpful hints on how to get to sleep quickly Ind easily- QUESTION AND ANSWER.
