FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1959.

.Atthe joint annual meeting of the Lake Carriers Association of the United States and the Dominion “Marine Association, held at Ottawa, support was given toa resolution expressing opposition to any tolls ‘being imposed on the St. Lawrence _|

resolution said that Seaway .and Great Lakes tolls would be “con- trary to the expressed, principles of both countries.”

-It is not -difficult to understand why Great Lake’ shipping interests should be anxious to have Seaway traffic toll-free. Naturally, they want to carry on their business at the lowest cost possible; and, of course, tolls will increase these costs considerably. It is very difficult, however, to see how they can claim that tolls are contrary to the “prin- ciples” of both countries. The fact is that a system of tolls, big enough to pay off the seaway’s costs in 50 years, while at the same time pro- viding for operating costs of the waterway, was written into the legislation passed by the Canadian Parliament and the United States’ Congress.. It cannot be abrogated

We feel quite sure that the Canadian Parliament would never consent to a toll-free system; al- though, of course, we are aware of the fact that powerful ‘interests in Central Canada are working to that end. It must be remembered that all Ganadians, not only those who live near the Great Lakes, paid for the Its_ benefit to the Maritimes and the Western — Provinces has yet to be determined; ft is not likely to be very great. There is some speculation, indeed,— and it is a reasonable one—that it will adversely affect Maritime ship-

Wace And Price Control,

At a news conference the other day, President Eisenhower stated that he “despised” controls of wages and prices. He acknowledged, however, -that they worked. fairly well in war time; and he hinted that he might recommend them again, if inflationary pressures on the economy do not ease soon.

No one likes controls of wages and prices. They a denial of democratic principles. lapses in bootleg- ging and other under-cover devices, they were put up with during the years, simply because there. Was no satisfactory alternative. It was either that or inability to meet ~ the financial and economic require- | ments of defence. But inflation, if it gets entirely out of hand, will be

‘ Miracle Drugs

In an article in a recent issue of “Saturday Review,” John Lear, the mazgazine’s science editor, says that “the prescription of antibiotics with- out a specific cause for such treat- ment is reaching alarming propor- tions.

Mr. Lear reports that penicillin

are being used widely for improper- ly diagnosed infections, that in many cases they cause distress due to patients’ violent reaction to tfte

* ‘The “drug manufacturing houses —at least some of them, says Mr.

‘Lear, are not above making mis- leading claims for new drugs. He | gives an instance of an advertising booklet that linked the names of a number of ‘‘leading” physicians in various parts of the United States who allegedly sponsored a new drug.

On” inquiry, owever, it, was .found’.

a ;~telephone ni nunibers ’ listed were fictitious. Letters sent to. the addresses given were return- ed unclaimed:

There is no doubt that spread naivete regarding “wonder” drugs, especially when they first | come on the market, puts heavy pressure on physicians .to prescribe them, even when they may not be called for. A doctor of our acquain-

wide-

tance says that it is not unusual for ©

a person to comé running into his office demanding “‘a shot of penicil- lin” even before he or she has de- scribed the. symptoms of the alleged. malady or discomfort.

These miracle drugs are power- ful and beneficial things, of course. They have saved many lives and re- lieved a lot of distress. They have their limitations, however. As Mr. Lear points out, and as any’ sician will attest, when administered indiscriminately. A good doctor—one who is worthy of respect and confidence—will be guided by his own _ professional knowledge and not by some popu- lar notion.

Sometimes Out Of Tune

By Patrick Nicholson

My children’s Number One Hit Favorite around Christmas time Was “The Chipmunk Song.”’ Most of us frequently heard the radio playing that tuneful little piece, rendered. under the guidance of their trainer by a trio of those colorful jittle summer scutilers, two docile songsters but one tru- culent and at times out of tune. There has been something lke a reprise of that catchy theme in Parliament recently, with trainer Diefenbaker asking his Cabinet: “Okay. Chipmunks, ready to sing your song?” And they have suhg it,

Throne Speech debate. No doubt, like the trainer, the Prime Minister had a word of praise for them afterwards. “That was very good Simon.” and “That was very good, Theo- dore."’. Perhaps Labor Minister Starr ‘played the part of chip- munk Simon; Theodore might

have beer Trade Minister Chur- chill. They beth gave ¢ompetent renderings of the catchy Con- servative theme of returning pros- perity in the Throne Speech de- bate. . FY aa Sect oe ag the song, the trainer warn-

lower Queea St. door to the Post

Office ‘Dominion Building) has displayed the sign: “NOT IN USE-—-USE OTHER DOOR.”

When first noticing this we thought that .maybe the hinges were broken or the door. \checks ou! of “kilter’’. But apparently the trouble is much more serious and deep seated. Someone has suggested that.the Sou’ eastern draft anroys the staff: others that on these winter days, the closed: door makes for a cosy. atmosphere in the vicinity of the Postmaster’s office and the money-order and -stamp wickets.

Whatever the reason. it is an extréme annoyance ‘and incon- venience to citizens who due to lack of parking space: must park a block below, then walk back almost to Richmond St.-to gain entrance

If this is an engineering prob- ‘em, surely there are plenty of ‘ngineers in the Government service to solve it. If necessary, one or two might be loaned from the Causeway research staff who no doubt have learned much about dow.-drafts, up-drafts, air currents and centripetal force and should at the moment have some time on their hands.

he had never before had so much publicity in the House.

Mr. Hamilton made great play with his victim's electioneeri n g speeches, and even tried to warn the Liberals against- friendship with the C.C.F. He quoted Haz-

en Argue’s comment. “Mike Pearson isn't taking the Liberal Party anywhere, because Mike Pearson himself doesn't k20w here he is going.”

THE C.C.F. THEME

If Mr. Hamilton believes that, he agrees with many CCF sta- warts, who are convinced that their hour of destiny is near at hand. when they will reviace the Liberals as our official Opposi- tion or second larzest party. This belief assumes that the Liberal Party is disintegrating through internal rot ‘and the decay of over-ripeness.

Such a development would be logical. The pclitica) division of Tomorrow, perhaps even of Tor day, is not the distinction. be- | tween “Grits and “Tories” which our grandfathers and fa- thers knew. It will be, indeed it

the ad-! *

vocates of private enterprise treating the individual Canadian as all-important, and the advocat-

es of socialism making the State

all-powerful.

Such a line-up leaves no room for a suicida] split in the anti- socialist vote. The pattern has already emerged in other count- ries.

If this is to be followed in Can- ada. political strategy would in- dicate the Conservatives’ wise road as being to encourage the C.CiF. but to hasten the destruc- tion of their own Tivals for the anti-socialist vote, namely the Liberals

So perhaps Alvin Was singing a little flat. But without the train er chiding him, Alvin then chang- ed h.s tune, and for the last half of his speech we heard a mag- nificently inspiring account of the Conservative Government's steps

and plans to fulfil the vision of |

The Heart Of Scotland

By Heath Macouarrie

It is so difficuly to find time to complete this series of articles that I fear the account will grow stale. But as this is being written on the bicentary of Robbie Burns, the recollection of our visi: to Scotland is so strong that there is a powerful compulsion to re- late some of the events of the} all-too-brief sojourn in the dear land of our ancestors. Robert Burns, of course. was a_Low- lander but after Edinburg our time was spent in the highlands, the homeland of the bard's grand- mother. ‘Still thinking of Burns, the C.B.C. -missed a golden op- protunity to present a pregram propertly honoring one of the great poets of the ages.)

After a beautiful morning in the | sunlight of Edinburgh's Princes Street we once again took our! place in one of the second class, compartments of a British Rail- ways train and set out for the capital of the Highlands, Inver- ness. The first landmark on this trip was the famous Firth of Forth bridge, that magnificent structure which was so familiar from many photographs. The countryside north of Edinburg soon begins to reveal its unique | charm:

BLAIR ATHOLL

By a particular stroke of good luck, the train stopped briefly at Blair Atholl in Perthshire from whence the Stewarts, my wife's paternal ancestors, had emigrat- ed. We had time here to have pictures taken on the station plat- form and ‘to look at the green hills glowing in the afternoon sun. |

But farther north the contours become more rugged and found ourselves in the rugg hilly land of the authentic hich- lands. It is hard to describe the sentiments one feels when first he sees the purple haze on the mountains which the presence of the heather brings to the land- scape. How difficult it must have been for the Highland Scots to leave the wonderful land where | hill. dale and lake present such a sight to the beholder.

On the train we enjoyed one of those famed British institutions, | high tea. The dining car steward seemed somewhat apologetic when he told us that dinner was not being served. However. after the repast which we were served | there was no room for regrets | nor. apologies. Britain does not | rate very highly in gourme*’s cal- endars bit the magnitude of high tea would indicate that it is not a land for anyone with a small appetite.

INVERNESS

How easy it is to develop mis- conceptions. Inverness. from the study of geography, had formed itsclf in my mind’s eve as a small fishing centre in the north of Scotland, a place bleak and

| 'oden was fought by brave

perhaps a bit dreary. This mis- conception was soon. shattered when I arrived in this city of character and beauty. of history and tradition, which has in- scribed itself indelibly upon my memory.

Inverness has abou all the at- tributes that a city could wish for. There are mountains: there is the open sea of a, deep and brilliant blue. and there is: ss lovely river. There are graceful ‘ridges: there is a stately and historic castle. and there is the history of Scotland at its sad- dest and best in the atmosphere of the city

But while it is a place of anti- quity. Inverness is also a modern city with a business section marked by efficiency and moder- ity. The hotels of Inverness are highly regarded. The one which the chairming manager of the Highland tourist office booked for our occommodations was one of the finest we had ever seen.

The lobby of the Station Hetel was recently decorated in such a way as to capture the colouring of the heather tut this is done with such s€nsitivity. as to make an over-all impression of great beauty and charm. The courtesy and service of the soft\spoken Highland staff was of the very highest. and as with so many tra- vellers and with so many places our gyeat, regret was that we had so little time in such a_ lovely olace.

A noted traveller has said that when he saw Edinburgh he hought he had seen the most ‘omantic city in Scotland but vhen he went to Inverness he was ‘ot sure. While agreeing that per- ‘aps Edinburgh was more nagnificent. Inverness was more ‘ymantic. The romance of In-

‘ertess can hardly be avoided *ven by the -most insensitive per- son or the most casual viewer of ye historic past “IELD OF CULLODEN

Those British Turbines

By George Kitchen Canadian Press Staff Writer

The case of the British turbines; fines of the Buy illustrates the difficulties ueteatieg freien] once’ the bi

suppliers have sometimes in try ing to crack the American mar- | ket.

It points up the problems they’ have to contend with when they try to compete against Ameri-; can - made goods, particularly | when government contracts are concerned and congressmen have a chance to bring pressure to! bear on the White House. j

The case involves a govern-! ment contract for two hydraulic | turbines for a dam and reservoir jn Arkansas. The bidding was

‘open to foreign suppliers and a!

British firm — English Electric | of London — submitted the low- | est bid;for $1,450.700. The sec- ond lowest bid $1.757,210 was entléred by the Baldin-Lima- Hamilton Corpo~ation °of Phila- delphia. SECURITY REASONS

The British bid met all the re- quirements of the Buy America Act, which governs U.S. govern- ment |purchases. and the contract by law should have gone to Eng- lish Electric. Yet, without ex- planation, Washington's office of defence and civilian mobilization

| reversed the procedure and awarded it to the Philadelphia firm for “seturity’’ reasons.

The action, producing the first | rift in Anglo - American relations | since the Suez affair. angered ‘he British people and their press | and prompted Sir Harold Caccia. | British ambassador in Washing-' ton, to lodge a strong. though unsuccessful. protest with the state department.

The thing that irks the British is that the Eisenhower admini- stration went outside the con-

that\ unlike other battlefields it is also the actual cemetery of the warriors who fought and died in the furious clash of arms which ‘ook place on that dim and dis- ant day. In this melancholy bat- ilefield the bodies off twelve hundred Jacobites lie buried.

But not far from the place where the Highlanders are buried is the cemetery of the much less numérous English dead of Cullo- den. The stone which marks this ~‘urying ground bears a simple in- scription which has never been very popular with certain people in the British Isles. It reads simply: “The field of the English hat were buried here.’

Inverness recalls one of the great women in the history of Scotland, Flora MacDonald. The statue of this brave and ingenious patriot is a most impressive site standing before the castle and is the object of great interest on the part of many visitors of Inverness The story of how Flora assisted in the escape of ie Prince Charii> is one which will live long in the memory of those who have a, special feeling for-the romantic in‘ history and literature. So again

Under the Buy hieiidhin Act, the government can accept a for. eign bid only if it is six per cent below the lowest domestic offer- ing. If there is unemployment in the area, the foreign bid must be 12 per cent below. In this in- stance. the English Blectric bid was 19 per cent below that of the Philadelphia firm. If the ‘for- eign bid meets these provisions, awarding of the contract i$ man- datory.

Republican Congressman Hugh ‘Scott, fighting hard for a Senate seat in: Pennsylvania. an- nounced he had been informed by the White House that the bid woulki go to the Philadelphia firm, despite the fact the Eng- lish Electric bid was lower.

Two weeks ago, Scott's cam- paign announcement was con- firmed when the defence and civilian mobilization office de- creed the contract should go to Baldwin - Lima - Hamilton in the interest of ‘national security” since it was one of a limited number of firms with the -re- quired machine tools.
