The Sleadiaslfl-urks

Letters of "warning" from Soviet leaders to various governments have become commonplace. They differ from one another in a few unimport- ant details, but their central theme is the same: ”If you don't watch out, we'll start a war." ,

it worked in last fall's Hungarian crisis. There is no doubt that failure of the U.N. to take effective action at that time was the fear of member nations-the United States particu- larly-that military aid to the revo- lutionaries would mean world war. It worked. too. as far as the United States was concerned. in the Suez crisis. What effect it had on the British and French is not as clear;

but there is some reason to believe -

that it was at least a contributing factor to the withdrawal of their forces from Egypt. ,

The latest letter went to Turkey, where its threats were promptly brushed aside. Turkish leaders have left no doubt where they stand. They will not attack Syria without provo- cation. But if there is one thing certain in these confused times it is that the Turks will not allow them- selves to be caught napping. If the Syrians. under Soviet pressure. set foot on one inch of Turkish soil there will be war, whatever the con- sequences. And if the present rulers of Russia understand Turkish his- tory and traditions, they will keep that in mind.

Whatever may be said about the present Turkish regime-and it must he admitted that its form of demo- rracy leaves much to be desired- the fact remains that Turkey is the only ally-with the exception of Israel-the West can depend on in the whole Eastern Mediterranean- Middle East area. Jordan. Saudi Arabia. Iraq and Lebanon will ac- cept all the American arms they can lay their hands on; but there is no certainty and. indeed, little likeli-

hood that any of them would side

with the West in the event of Com- munist pressure on the region, from either the Soviet Union or Syria. They are more likely to use the arms in a joint attack on Israel when they think they are strong enough to make the attempt.

Agricultural Expqrls

Factors contributing to the de- cline of the British market for Can- adian farm products are the in- creased post-war competition from other countries, the high price of the Canadian dollar and, of course. Britain's shortage of dollar and gold reserves. These, however. as the Country Guide points out in its Sep- tember issue, are not the only things to be taken into account. A very important factor. and perhaps the dominant one, is the increased ef- ficicncy of Briti.-;h farms.

"Last year," says the Country Guide. "Britain produced about a' third more wheat than in the pre- vious year. We sent Britain 54 per cent of the wheat imported and 67.5 per cent of the flour. Nevertheless, the total quantity of flour sold in Britain has fallen 19 per cent in the last nine years. Last year we sup- plied 80 per cent of the barley Brit- ain imported which was. however, 5.4 million bushels less than sheiim- ported the year before. It is true that fully matured and branded

in use of forward prices. nibsldins and national advisory nenrlcen have been successful. The British farmer is fairly well protected now against abrupt changes in Government pol- icy; and heimay be expected to continue his efforts toward greater efficiency in the hope of securing a still greater share of the home market."

This effort to expand domestic production, which-has met wit.h much success in Britain. is being

duplicated in all other countries -

which possess any measure of agri- cultural potential. Indeed, the aim

' of almost any country that might

be mentioned is to become reason- ably self - sufficient, agriculturally, over a period of time; and, of course. this is being encouraged and helped forward by the several United Na- tions agencies to all of which Canlada contributes her share. It will be gen- erations before the goal is even in sight-if. indeed, it can ever be reached-but for the first time in history an earnest attempt is being made to achieve it. This is all to the good, of course, seeing that at the present time over half of the world's population lacks the bare necessities of life. It does. however, in an in- direct way and for the time being. add to the problems of the big pro- ducing countries. such as Canada.

The Yellow Fleece Australia. the wool centre of the world, has produced a strain of yel- low merino. Behind this develop- ment, says the National Geographic Society. is ”a saga of royal mon-

opoly, smuggling and careful breed- I

ing that has carried these sliecp to prominence around the world."

The hardiest of all sheep, merino originated in North Africa and in due course became famous as the monopoly of Spanish royalty as a result of the Moorish imasion in the 12th century. There were 3 mil- lions of them in Spain by 1770. Later they found their was to Sax- ony. Prussia and Austria. It was not until 1808 that they showed up in England. having been brought there by Spanish insurrectionists who had joined in the war against Napoleon. At about the same time the sheep arrived in Russia. the United States. South America and South Africa. They reached Australia in 1797, going by way'of Holland and the Cape of Good.Hope. The Australian count now is about 82 millions.

Mcrinos have prospered wherever , they have found a footing. bearing l out a prediction made by one of i

their owners in 1800: "Fine wooled sheep may be kept wherever indust- rious men and intelligent breeders exist."

Today more than 150 millions of the breed are on the world's past- ures. But Australia is the first coun- try to develop the yellow fleece.

EDITORIAL NOTES

During the course of his current itinerary His Excellency the Gover- nor Gcncral will visit the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. This is believed to be the first such visit.

Thc London Times makes two interesting observations concerning the Queen's impending visit to Can- ads: first, that it will be a "time of residence" rather than a visit: sec- ond. that it will be primarily as Queen of Canada that Her Majesty will journey to the United States. No doubt, these facts will be kept in mind by the Canadian officials

who accompany her to Washington. -

EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

Sir.-One oi the main Tory arguments against the leaders of the Liberal Party was that many of them were too old. but now the Tory Leader has select- ed Dr. Sidney Smith. Ex-PreIl- dent of Toronto University. to replace Mr. Pearson as Minister of External Affairs, and Dr. Smith has admitted that his reason for accepting is that he is too old to continue as Presi- dent of the University. .

Another significant factor in connection with Dr. Smith's Ip- pnintment is that it. is an adms- slnn on the part of Mr. Diefen- hakcr that he did not have an elected member of his party qunllfed to succeed Mr. Pearson as Minister of External Affairs. otherwise he would not have been obliged to select this old man.

Right Honorable L.B. Pearson was appointed to the Department of External Affairs in 1928. when he was about thirty. and he was employed in various capacities in that Department until 1948. when he wns elected to the House of Commons as Minister of Ex- ternal Affairs. He is now a world figure and is it any wonder that the Tories are having trouble trying to replace him?

Missile Defense Problem

By David Mclnlonh Cnnndlnn Preu Staff, Oilnun

Canada, the United States and Britain likely will speed up re- nenrch into possible defence against the intercontinental bal- listic mluilo. informant: said Monday.

This problem would be particu- larly difficult for Canada becauad it would mean finding more sci- entific manpower. Defence scien- tista are already relatively scarce In this country.

Russlats announcement that it has successfully tested an inter- continental ballistic missile has created more consternation in the Canadian and American defence departments than nny Ruuinn wonpon development in the Inst three years.

Unveiling of new Soviet bomb- ers three years ago astonished American and Canadian intelli- gence sources and action to strengthen North Amerlcn'I nlr defences had to be taken immed- lately.

Some officials here estimated Russia tested its intercontinental miuile about two years before Western intelligence experts had Judged it would although it was known the Soviet Union was working feverishly to produce such a weapon.

N0 ESTIMATE

Officials here declined to esti- mate how long it will be before Russia has an effective opera- tional intercontinental ballistic missile.

But they said their orlginnlestl- mate of 10 to 15 years may well have to be scnled down.

Canndntn D a tone 0 Research Board already is engaged in in- teluive studies of possible coun- ter-measures against the missile. often referred to by defence Ici- utintn II "the bust."

DEB operations! research Id-

enilsts are co - operating closely with their American counte yll an in these studies and to a loner extent with British scientists.

Garnet W. Dunn. chief of ad- ministration for DRE. said earlier this year:

in the few minutes that the min- slle would require over our con- tinent to target areas. radar equlpment would need to pick up nnd identify the missile. track it in order to establish its aiming point and send commands to n weapon which likely would be a ground-based missile.

"The requirements will be for radar system of extensive range. equipment which will rapidly sort radar information and compute an intercept point and an anti- missile of considerable accuracy These problems now are being studied by our operntionnl re- search scientists.”

Canada's part in the l.hree-nn- tlon research is understood to be confined to the electronics field- ihnt is. detection of the missile by radar and possibly the guid- nnce system for the counter-mlm nilc. The D e in n ce Research Board has n staff of 000 scien- tlstl.

Officials have estimated that

the DEW (Distant Early Wnrn- .

inn) radar lino in the Canadian Arctic would provide utes' warning of an attack on North America by mic. tlnental bal- llltlc missiles.

The line is intended piimarlly at detection of manned bombers. Bclonllsu said its radar range would have to be considerably ex- tended nnd the line made com- pletely t ” from d t "

close inspection.

FOREIGN OBJECT

But. whether you can see a Ibrelgn object in the ear or not. don't search for the source of the trouble by probing the on yourself.

You may lnjuro the structures and cause permanent deafness. Thar: a pretty tor- riblu price for any child to pay for a parent's carelessness. MON! 0! DIPFICULTY -

-In my pnvioiu column. I have given you an idea of what might be signs of hearing diffi- culty in your child-speech po- cullnrltlea. failure to respond to everyday street sounds, inni- tentive. awkward ponturen when lllleninx and nanny. many oth- on.

Now none of this advice will

do good unless you follow It through by re i-ting indicat- ion: of ear trou le to your per- sonal physician or an ear spec- iallst. Don't make the mistake of go- ing out and buying a henna; nid without consulting your doctor. A; l hnve pointed out. maybe the trouble can be cured without the use of an aid. Also. some few types of deafness are not bone; nted by n hearing old.
