British Empire Essie:

Klu- HLN

The opening of the fifth British Empire Games in Vancouver is an occasion of 'riendly and family rivalry, none the less keen for that, but lacking the jealousies which have sometimes marred other inter- lational contests. The Canadian sponsors, larticulariy Vancouver. itself, are justly oroud of the efforts to have arrangements IS efficient and satisfactory as possible. A few unthinking ”boosters" have, perhaps, done a little too much bragging about all that has been done but they are in a min- crliy.

This country is happy to be host to the top athletes of the Commonwealth. It seems inevitable that placings should un- officially be given a value of 10-5-4-3-2-1 although all entrants are regarded as in- dividuals and there will be no official plac- ing of teams. It is to be hoped that the un- official "score" will not detract from re- cognition of the achievement of the indivi- illal sportsmen whatever Commonwealth :ountry they may come from.

Until the big events are over our visi- "ol's will undoubtedly be too concerned with training to see much of this country or enjoy Canadian hospitality. After the Sames, however, they will no doubt travel in various parts of Canada and may be sure of a warm welcome anywhere. This ?rovince is a long way off from the site of "he Games but it is to be hoped thatsome, it least, may get this far before returnin to their respective homelands. -

line More Hope . e

For many years cancer-research scien- tists have been looking for a chemical that would destroy malignant cells with- out at the same time injuring healthy ones. Now, from the Sloan-Kettering Institute, the research department of Memorial Hos- : pital, New York, comes word that a high 1 percentage of cures for several types of I the disease in rats has been recorded over 1 a six year period and that, in one type,

that known as Jenson Sarcoma, the rate

. of cure has been 10071;. The idea advanced by the scientistsis that, since malignant :ells need food, the same as healthy ones, the thing to do is to give. them access to 5 chemical that they will mistake for food but which has no nourishment in it; the diseased cells would then die from mal- nutrition.

It is all very complicated,,of course, and it is to be stressed that, so far, the experi- ment with all manner of chemicals has been confined to rats. Soon, however, the technique will be tried on human beings, and an official of Sloan-Kettering believes that "further study may reveal compounds for achieving permanent cures in man of all forms of cancer now beyond control." This does not mean that the most dreaded of all disease is about to be conquered, nor even that permanent cure for any type of the disease is probable in the near future. But it does provide one more hope in man's unceasing struggle against disease, and perhaps it will help us all to realize the importance of contributing generously to those properly established funds"which make continual research possible. At the same time it will help us to understand a little.better the great contribution which

. so many scientists are making to the cause of human welfare and the hard, laborious work they are doing day after day, often

up

without much material reward. '

War in Iirtis)

Ebrperts say that the normal births is 106 boys to 100 girls. This has stood as the average for a great many years. In times of peace, that is; in times of war, the situation appears to change. This interesting information.was brought out recently in an article in the American Journal of Human Genetics prepared by two prominent medical scientists--Dr. Brian MacMahon of the State University college of Medicine in Brooklyn and Dr. Thomas F. Pugh of the Harvard School of Publi Health. '

The findings were based on a study of live births of white babies in five States. They show that from 1942 to 1947, dur- ing and immediately after the Second World War, the average ratio was 108 boys to 100 girls. This two point increase may seem to the laymen hardly worth mention- ing, but to the experts it is of some im- portance. While they did not attempt to explain the reason, the two scientists de- clared that ”some factor or factors assocl-' ated with war, or the end of war, must influence the secondary sex ratio in man.".

Incidentally, the belief that during war more boys than girls are born has been held in most European countries for cen- turies; but this is the first time it has been supported by evidence resulting from scien- tific inquiry. Doubtiess, the next step will be to determine whether or not the results arrived at in a circumscribed group can 'be confirmed .by further study on a national or international scale. This may be consid- ered a small matter in view of the many serious problems confronting mankind in these days. Nevertheless, ,no hit of in- formation that helps to add to knowledge concerning human life is without value.

By Heath Alba! eight years of costly and bloody iwhfflre I truce has come to Indo-China. Greeted with Jubi- lstion in Communism countries the settlement has received I restrain- ed welcome in other parts of the world, Ind in some quarters has been denounced as I major retreat for the West. The Rome news- paper, Memento Ben. described it as an Asian Munich which would give the Russians reasons to sup- pose that a European version was also possible. In the French Na- tional Assembly the former foreign minister, M. Bidsult, denounced the agreement in bitter angry terms, likening the betrayal of the Vlct Names: to that of the Czechs in 1988. ' - Thus the gloomy ghost. of Mu- nich is stalking the chsncellorles of Europe, and the relief felt over 'the avoidance of I major war in Asia is tempered by grave doubts as to whether or not I grant dip- lomatic reverse has been suffered.

It is true that the West. has lost a great deal in South East Asia and ,thIt the "communist domain has been drImItioIlly Ind slgnif-' icslntly extended. It is true also that American diplomatic efforts at building up I defensive Illi- anco in South East Asia have been thwarted. The gain in prestige for the Communist-Nationalist. coalit- ion is bound to be impressive. The west has little cause for Ielf-can- gl-Itulation on either its diplom- atic or military achevcmcnts in the arcs, and can only rationalise this latest international agreement as being the but possible under adverse circumstances.

Regardless of the angry denials of Walter Bedell Smith there are reasons for likening the Geneva agreement; to thnt of Munich. In both, the Anglo-French nations have receded from I strong posi- tlovprevlously held. It is not long ago that French leaders were pledging everlasting support tothe Vietnamese and the American gov- ernment wss insisting that the loss of Indo China would be I dis- aster of the first magnitude.

But lest we get too distressed about history repeating itself and the evil consequences of I new Munich, we should examine some of the features of the present set- tlement whlch are not on all fours with the 1938 Iffair. One outstand- ing fact is that the Indo. China agreement followed I war and one in which the French, even with considerable American assistance, lost heavily. It is difficult to pro- cure I. diplomatic victory out of military defeat and French leaders can argue that had they not end- ed the war, they would have lost all, install of only I part. of the Irldo China region.

Another aspect worthy of atten- tion is that the inhabitants of Vict Nam showed no overwhelming de- sire to be protccctcd from Com- munism. Doubtlcss the French Ire much to blIme for this Viet Nam- ese attitude which in the final In- alysis had. I significant. enter; upon their decision 'to throw in the towel.

O I O

In the final analysis, of course, whether" we regard the Geneva agreement. Is a gricvous error or D. "genuine success depends upon our Ipprsisai of the whole East-West r istionshlp. If all diplomacy must. be gen-ed to I. future in which I major war is inevitable then Gen- cvI was wrong and we shall suffer for our error. If, on the other hand, we visualise I would in which the-Communist and non- Communlst nations can live in peaceful, if not harmonious rein.- tionship, then we can feel IItls- faction that Genevs may hasten the day of such peaceful coexist- cnce.

Fortunately, or unfortunately. we do not know the future Ind cIn- notgnppl-aise today's diplomsoy by tomorrow's results, but in any ngneements with the Communist world we should not loss the

their Illler have "bscked down" at Geneva, with-diplomatic conse-

of agreements with the Western world.

A similar view in slightly differ- ent wol-downs e.xpressed,by another writer who "for political ressons' asked that his name be withheld from publication. "within the last few dslys," he stated, "the Hon. Elihu Root, former Secretary of War, has said that Canada promises to be Is prosperous and as great as the United States. I believe in this prediction and therefore would offer the most unqualified oppos- ition to any suggestion of annexa- tion or merger or absorption." Not to be undone in faith in Canada's future, the Hon. Charles Mal-cil of Ottawa expressed the opinion that "Canada is destined to become not only as great. as but also much greater than the United states; we have the most perfect system of constitutional govern- ment which can be found anywhere in the world."

And senator T. A. Bemier of Manitoba seems to have summed up the whole case for the negative in this way: "Canada is progressing wonderfully and has in store I brilliant future. It would be to the advantage .of neither the United States nor Canada. to be united closer than they are It present. Better work out our respective destinies rparstely in I spirit of sincere fr endliness on both sides of the line."
