were “weak’’, he had to be or to ap- pear strong; where they had spoken

| softly, he had to command; where

their policy lacked definition, his had to be sharp-edged even if this meant dangerous over-simplification. And so Mr. Dulles, in his first year, was “unleashing” Chiang Kai-shek (only to leash him afterwards) ; threatening France with an “agoniz- ing reappraisal” (only to see the European Community saved, after the French Assembly killed the

European Army project, not _by |

American exhortations but by the diplomacy of Sir Anthony Eden), and discovering in the Middle East a simple pattern that did not in fact exist.

Even those in his own country and his own party were shocked when, in 1956, he stated that “the ability te go on to the verge (of war) with- out getting into war is a necessary art ...If you are scared to go to

~ the brink, you are lost...” Yet

there were times when his lack of firmness proved as upsetting as his most bellicose, statements. He did not, for example, follow through with the British and French plan to fore- ‘stall Nasser at Suez, or see the im- Plications of his sudden withdrawal of U.S. support for the Asswan dam project, which proved so costly to Western interests.

This is but to say that despite his Incredible industry and self discip- line, Mr. Dulles could not always

judge wisely. It does not detract from‘

his many outstanding achievements in dealing with Russian and other problems, and in the ‘leadership he gave at times when free world lead- ership was badly needed.

The tragedy of his last illness, and the courage with which it was borne, aré uppermost in all minds today as Cafiada joins in paying sin- cere jribute to this sturdy champion of democracy. |

to such dizzy heights on the ladder of success. With only a rudimentary education, he became a millionaire by the time he was 30, a British M.P. almost as soon as he landed in England, and a Peer of the Realm in six years. Called from virtual re- tirement to become minister of air- craft production after the German victories of 1940, he fired the indus- try with such vigor that it provided enough planes for the Battle of Bri- tain—a glorious achievement with which his name, along with Chur- chill’s, will be forever associated.

Selling newspapers was Max Aitken’s first job, and publishing his own weekly (The Leader, in New- castle) his first ambition. The money he mace enabled him to study law, which b> soon abandoned to embark upon his career in finance. But in England it was as a newspaper own- | er that he first made his mark, and The Express, which he took over as a dying morning daily, \became the cornerstone in one of the most powerful newspaper empires in Bri- tain.

His Lordship, who thought him- self an old man at fifty, with his ambitions satisfied and not much left to live for, has never really aged \in spirit at all. That may be, the sec- ret of his dynamic energy, which he _still displays. He has been called a combination of Puck and Napoleon. \ We like to think of him, however as a great Canadian—a Maritimer who has never lost touch with his hum- ble past, and who has returned to the Province of his boyhood for to- day’s happy celebration.

The high price of beef has even affected the art of healing. A report says ‘that in Baltimore drug stores are doing a good business in leeches. They are used chiefly for curing black eyes, sometimes known as “shiners”. Main reason for the re- vived popularity of the worms is their relative cheapness compared with steak.

Is the Diefenbaker Government on the skids?

This is the question which clam- orously poses itself in the light of latest survey of public opin- ion, which was published_on—ap- propriately for the Cons Party—the unlucky 13th day this month.

That survey shows an acceler-

ating decline in the popular sup- port for the present Government. At the March 1958 election. 54 per cent of the voters backed Tory candidates, to give the} Right Hon. John Diefenbaker the largest following ever atiained by | any party leader in our House of | Commons. Qver the next months, the Diefenbaker govern- ment gained so rapidly {n pop- ular esteem that its support rose to 60 per cent. This was the peak. While the popular appeal of Dief- enbaker the man remains invin- cible, that army of three back- ers in every five Canadians is melting away like the snows In Spring: It has tottered to 50 per cent, the lowest level since the great election sweep.

QUEBEC LEADS DECLINE

The most severe slump is in the | Province of Quebec, where a huge one-third has been slashed | off. the popular support for the Tories—a trend which was ac- curately forecast in this column. The decline in the West ts also | severe. In Ontario, they have lost | 8 points since the July peak of 63 per cent; and in the Maritimes they have slipped ten points to | 47 per cent.

Using this poll of public opin- | ion as the basis for an arbitrary exercise in political arithmetic, | we see that, if an election were to be held today, the government would lose a shattering 39 seats in Quebec alone. In that debacle the fortress of Quebec Citv would turn solid ‘‘Rouge’’: Production Minister Ray.

DOES WELL, SPEAKS BADLY

On the whole, scant grounds for criticism of the government's policies can be found. But much political hay has been made out of warped comment. And for this | the government must take full blame, since it insists on snarring with its guard down, so that the Opposition can always get in a powerful right hook and bloody the government's nose before any Tory spokesman explain the often very good reasons for each action. ~ Typical of major issues which have been handled well by the political pitchers, but badly

Germany

By Joseph

Canadian Press Staff Writer

One thing that is. quietly rec- ognized by all the Geneva con- ference. of forcign ministers is the resurgent power of Germany, especially West Germany. <

West Germany holds what amoun's almost to veto power over important Western _ policy decisions not only because it will be directly affected by the de cisions but also because of its independent strength.

This was reflected. at a Friday press conference when Heinrich von Brentano, the West German foreign minister, said bluntly that the United States, Britain and France should refuse any summit meeting. unless their rights in Berlin are guaranteed by Russia beforehand.

It wasn't the first time that von Brentano got his view across in a strong way at Geneva, al- though he is operating on the sidelines. West and East Ger- many are represented only as ad- visers at the conference, not as fullfiedged delegations. HISTORIC RECOVERY

All this follows ‘from historic developnients: The post-war re- covery of the West German Re- public to a position as the strong est economic country in, West

Europe; and West rmany’s new close friendship a tradi foe, France. ;

By 1962, it’s expected that the West German military force will be the strongest Furopean ele- ment in NATO.

While these factors have en

Fast Germany, with its popula- tion of 17,400,000, now has be- come Russia’s biggest trading partner. Diplomats say that after the current conference it will be increasingly difficult for the West to maintain its aloof attitude to- ward its Communist government. SMALL VOICE

But the East German repre sentative speaks in a small voice compared with von Brentano. Ae spokesman for $2,000,000 West Genmans, his views must be taken into account by the foreign

ministers of the US., Britain and France., Actually, von Brentano does

not himself take his sidetable seat at the conference — since that would put him on a par with Bolz; the East German foreign minister—but leaves the formal speech-making to Wilhelm Grewe, his ambassador to Wash- ington. ‘ ‘Von Brentano is alert for any Western weakening. He acted

around that the Western minis- ters might accept a truce with the Russians over Berlin and sidetrack their peace plan for Germany.

Later the American, British and French foreign ‘ministers joined von Brentano in a -state- ment that while Berlin and other issues could be discussed v\‘

MEDITATION

This morning I awoke to wild birds’ song. : The rising sun had painted clouds a golden hue.

I thought of yesterday and all eternity,

A voice within me said, “This day belongs to you.”

Take it and mold it gently with a master's touch.

Turn grief and fear away; love and happiness abide.

Man’s greatest treasures are his moments filled with love.
