I;-ATE 4 New Munroe Doctrine it would seem that the L'ililt'd States is preparing to cxlcnd the Munroe Doctrine to coicr the M1013 Middle East from Iran to 'llurk0,V. When the plan has lrcvll 1ll)l'1'”V9d by ('ongrcss the Ru.-sians will be told to "keep out" and a new Pl'0' gram of political. ccononiic and mil- itary assistance will he begun in the area. An important basic difference between this plan and the famous doctrine which was proclaimed 133 yea,-5 ago is noted by the Montreal Gazette. President Munroe warned all foreigners that interference or expansion of their holdings in this hemisphere would not be tolerated by the United States. Today the United States is prepared to say that interference in the Middle East will be resisted, too, by force if neces- sary. This area is not adjacent to the United States but the reasons for the policy are the same-the feel- ing that any expansion of Russian influence in the Middle East would be a threat to American safety. The Gazette suggests that this announcement will be warmly wel- comed by Britain and Fiance. as a measure of approval of their own actions in the area. But there is an- other question involved. As the Globe and Mail points out, it was. and still is. not necessary for the U.S. to act unilaterally in the Middle East. There was all along, there still is, an agency through which she can act collectively-the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, formed in con- lvsequence of the United Nations' in- effectuality. Why has it, too, been rejected by Washington? Why. just days after I top level meeting aimed at increasing NATO'S effectiveness and enlarging its field of action, do Messrs. Eisenhower and Dulles be- have as though NATO didn't exist? "The only conclusion one can draw from the whole chain of events,” says our Toronto contem- norary. "is that the U.S. doesn't want collective action in the Middle East. True. she demanded such action from the l'..V'.: but she was also a major party to the retreats and compro- mises which turned the l'.N.”s Middle East intervention into a fiasco. True, she reviled Britain and France for going it alone in the Middle East; flit this. it seems, was merely :1 pm. lude to doing the same thing herself. With uhat ends? For what motives? Many answers will be given and some of them will be most unkind."

50 Years Ago

An interesting article entitled "Yuletide in lflllti" appcliictl in a re- cent issue of the St. John's Daily News. Those who think that green Christmases came into fashion these last few years should pnll(l('l' this item which was publi.-'licd in a new s- paper of that day: "in the disap- pointment of all, old l-'.'ithcr (Thrist- mas save us all a surprise box". King Frost was summarily deposed. llis mantle of white disappeared from the hills and plains, the fielrls be- Qme sodddn, the rivulets swelled in torrents. the ice on the ponds melted and tropical rains gave a most un- seasonable aspect."

At that time St. John's had the rcputation of having, per head of population, more liquor saloons and bars than any other town or city on the North American continent. But, according to this article. only a few '7W9"-known local characters" gave the Police any trouble on Christmas Eve. These were duly placed in the "lockup" Where. the writer observes,

although, doubtless, the passing Of the years has surrounded them with a glory they did not in fact possess): Tea, 25 cents a pound; coffee. 20

cents; men's suits and overcoats, 553; children's suits. 90 cents; a 5 piece parlor suite, S36. The average wage was similarly low;-S1 I day.

Many of our own citizens will re- call what the Christmases of the early part of the century were like here and wonder whet be r the changes which the years have wrought are all. for the good. But, it licther for good or ill-or for both good and ill-they were inevitable: and the future will bring even more startling ones.

A Sad Case

The case of Christian George llanna is plain testimony to, the fool- ish extremes to which the laws of nations can go when they are in- terpreted in a strictly legalistic sense. This young man stowed away on a Norucigian freighter in Beirut, Le- lianon, fifteen months ago. Since then he has been kept aboard the ship and forbidden to set foot on land at any port of call, simply be- cause he has no citizenship papers from any country and is not sure where he was born. This has been going on, on one ship or another, since he first stowed away at the age of 13. lie is now, for the third time, in Vancouver aboard the Nor- wegian freighter, and he must stay aboard "until the ship sinks," ac- cording to the ship's officers. A wanderer over the seas, a man with- out a country: that must be his por- tion as long as he lives. lie has no criminal record. he is healthy and intelligent; yet no country will take him in because he cannot produce a slip of paper.

If there is anything more ridicu- lous than this, we've never heard of it. Could not Canada. which is open- ing lts doors. and rightly so. to thou- sands of refugees, find some way of releasing this young man from red- tape entanglement? It could not pos- sibly do any harm, nor would it cause the slightest friction in Call- ada's relations with other countries. There is always a valid reason for an act of charity: and surely this would come under that heading.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The New Year's highway toll in both Canada and the United states was lower than that of the Christ- mas holiday. but only because there were fewer cars on the roads. There's not much satisfaction to be gained from that.

O O I "People look to mathematics only as a useful tool and not as it science out of which great concepts have been developed," laments I profes. sor. That is unfortunate. but isn't almost everything prized chiefly for its utilitarian value these days? 0 I I

Two special trains, one from the Atlantic Provinces and one from On- tario. will carry over 500 Canadian Scouts and leaders to the fourth American national jamborec at Val- ley Forge. Pennsylvania. ncxt July. It will be the largest contingent ever sent to an American jamboree. The Canadians will present typically Can- adian camp fire programs during the gathering of 50,000 Scouts.

O O O A joint brief by the Agriculture Department of the Atlantic Prov- inccs and the Maritime Federation of Agriculture has been sent to the Fcrieral Minister of Agriculture. urg- ing a readjustment of the freight assislallce payments on Western feed grain in line with the recent rail rate increases. It is hoped that this request will receive the prompt at- tention it deserves, not as I govem- meni handout but as a matter of equity and justice. 0 O D

Elizabeth Henderson in the Winnipeg Free PreII

"l still remember that emphy- teii.-is is not a disease, nor stilli- cide is a crime." wrule Stevenson, admitting that he would not wil- lingly part with such scraps of S('IPllllll(' knowledge. but though he was all his life exposed to doc- tors I doubt if he would recognize geriatrics. Starting harmlessly e- noii':h as a useful word to cover the medical study of the aulng. it has now rcaclicd the layman and the DBl('Ili medicine adiertiser.

You. if you live long enough. uill become a geriatric, so shall I: and. such is the genius of English for improving on the meaning of (lreek words. alrcady the impres- sion grows that old age is both a crime and a disease.

"Some do and some don't." as a raiilious-spoken Scotch garden- er used to say about the life ex- pectancy of transplanted trees.

Even the poets in their general- izations on human life are not I- greed on old age. Stevenson him- sell wrote of the Highlands where the old plain men have rosy faces. and in the title be borrowed from Shakespeare he was careful to keep the adjective: "Crabberl age Ind yniith, Cannot live together."

WAH'l' ARE THE CHANCES

FOR A MULTIPLE BIRTH?

What are your chances of giv- ing birth to twins or triplets?

Statistics say that twins occur once in every 87 births. Triplet! are born one in every 10.000.

But that docsnlt tell the whole story. Age. race and parity ap- parently play an important part in determining your particular chances of having more than one child It I time.

Older women seem to have I better chance for giving birth to twins than do younger girls. In the 35 to 39 age bracket the twin- ning lncldence is about 17 for ev- ery 1.000 births.

For women under 20 it in only 6 per 1,000 births. A few years back, I l2-year-old Kentucky girl gave birth to twins.

Multiple births occur more of- ten among negroes than any other race.

BETTER CHANCE

Women who already have had children seem to have I better chance of giving birth to twins, triplets or four of I kind than does I woman who has been previous- ly childless.

Once I set of twin: has been

born. it sometimes sets I pattern for that mother's future births. At least two women each had two sets of twins last year. t In February, A Rochester, New York. mother gave birth to her second pair of twins in ten months. The following May. I Jefferson- vllle. Indiana. womIn' had her second Iet in eleven months.

While taking I little more time. I Quebec mother llll really let I mark to shoot If. She has had Iix sets of twins in eight years!

There have been Ievcral cases in which twins have been born sev- eral weeks and even months Ipart.

ICOMBINED WEIGHT

The heaviest set of twins born in this country. as far as l know. is I combined weight of 22 pounds. These twins were born in Louis- ville. Illinois. in 1941.

The world's record was set by English twins whose birth weight totaled 35V: pounds. One weighed 17”: pounds. the other 10 pounds.

The greatest number of babies ever delivered at one time is six. Although there have been several cases of Iextuplets. none has lived more than 24 hours.
