I Need For Vigilance

The announcement that the Am- erican Secretary of State will con- fer with Prime .'l.lini.s.tcr Diefen- baker in the near future is proof that the latter's admonitions and warnings in the matter of Ameri- can-Canadian trade issllm have been taken seriously in Washing- ton. The meeting. accordilll,: to the official announcement. is to be on an "informal" basis. But that's not important. since the diffcrelit-e lie- tween a formal anti an inltlrmal approach in cont'l-i-em-es of this sort is little more tllaii a matter of atl- jectives. What is important is tllat at long last the Ynited States (inv- ernmcnt is a little ttncllsy over Canadian complaints. especially the one which charges the l..'nitt-tl States with a breach of the rcgtlltttions of the General Agreement on 'llaril'fs

- and Trade.

It is still too early to stlgul-st what good. if any. will come out of . I the impending meeting. But. Judy,- ing by Mr. Dulles' everytlilng-is-t'0r- the-best philosophy, which he seems to cherish beyolld measure. Air. Diefenbaker and his advisors will ',u. yhave to be on their guard if any- , l.f thing is to be done to protect Cana- I, ; da's trade interests in face of the United States' current policy of dis- posing of agricultttlul surpluses on

almost any terms.

It is almost certain that Mr. Dulles will try to make otlt that, in some mysterious manner. every- thing that the l'nitcd States is '. doing in this field is of great tit-ht-lit

to Canada. He will probably argue

that giving away wheat at fire-sale

prices and in exchange for non-dol-

i ' lar currencies of every conceivable

.f, type is the best thing that ever

happonefl for Canadian producers.

, More likely than not he will contend

i i that the tying up of future markets

by the L'nited States is just what

is needed to give Canadian ex-

porters I chance to compete on

. - equal terms. As for Canada's

' y billion dollar trade deficit with the

;li . United States, he is likely to claim

, that nothing eoulrl he more bene-

I ficial to the Canadian economy. No

- : one is more adept at making black

E '. look white and converting obvious

disadvantages into illusionary pana- ceas. . '

Yes. there is no doubt about it. Mr. Diefenbaker will have to be on

.

guard-and there is reason to think he will be--when Mr. Dulles comes to visit. ,

Distinguished Vlsllor

At present the Most Rev. Gio- vanni Panico, Apostolic Delegate to Canada. is making a tour of the Atlantic Provinces and Eastern Canada and is arriving in Char- lottetown today. He will remain in the Province until Friday. visiting various parts of the Diocese. As the personal representative in Can- ada of ills Holiness the Pope. his visit is naturally a matter of great interest and religious significance to our Roman Catholic citizens. The community generally will join in extending I most cordial wel- come to His Excellency on this oc- casion.

Archbishop Panico has had I long and distinguished career prior .. to assuming his present, post on 3 March 2, 1954. Both in the village V

This will be the first visit of the new Apostolic Delegate to the Char- lottetown Diocese where Most Rev. Malcolm A. MacEacl'lern, the first Bishop to be consecrated by Arch- bishop Panico, is head of the Dio- cese.

Summerside Carnival

This will be at big week in sum-' mciside. where the second annual lobster carnival opens this after- non with a grand parade headed by the St. Ann's Gaelic College pipe band.” The success of last year's fottr-day carnival was outstanding, and this year it will be ”bigger and better” in every respect. Many new le:-ittlres have been added. in. clurling the holding of the.first rc- union of the Prince Edward Island lliglllanders on Wednesday and the R.('. A. F. air and ground show on S at it rd a y afternoon. R. C. A. F. Stntio-l Summerside arranged to have the annual Air Force Day pre- lzrllm. held normally in June. post- poned this year so that it could be held as part of the carnival pro- gram. His Honour Lieutenant (lov- ernor Prowse will officially open the carnival this evening, and the speakers will include Premier Matllcson, I-'islieries Minister Angus TllacI.ean. Dr. Phillips. 1ll.ll.. Nlayor Currie and Mr. Clyde Mac- I.a-zgzm. president of the Slimmer- side Board of Trade.

The carnival is a combined pro- ject of the Board of Trade and six service clubs, each of which'is responsible for holding certain features of the program. The ar- rangements are in capable hands and there is no doubt but that the carnival will be very largely at- tended and enjoyed. Tile Summer- side Journal-Pioneer has pttt oltt an excellent special Carnival issue. replete with program details and other features of interest.

EDITORIAL NOTES

School construction and the training of teachers are the main subjects being discussed at the 20th International Conference on Public Education in session at Geneva.

On his return to Ottawa from the Commonwealth Conference in London, Mr. Diefenbaker did some- thing which no Canadian Prime Minister before him had ever done. He went directly from the airport to the parliamentary press gallery and held a press conference.

Communist China and National- ist Formosa have at least one thing in common: respect for ancient methods of writing. Authorities in both countries have ruled that pupils must continue to use brushes instead of pens. They have also abandoned a proposal to do away with the Chinese style of writing which consists of ideographs and pictographs.

Public health officials are evi- dently going ahead with immuniza- tion plans on'the assumption that the Asian flu will not arrive here until mid-autumn. They may be right: but to be on the safe side it would be well to have the vaccine made available just as soon as pos- sible. Epidemics do not always fol- low customary courses.

What l-I cllanlze this was: WAIT AND WHATTLE

We in the press i.'aller,v here hale always been III the fickle mer- cy of the old "wait and whnttle" system .- waiting in the hot dark crowded corridor ouLside the Cabi- net council chamber: and won- dering what vlill we be able to ask the Prime Minister briefly as he hurries away. and whatlli he de- Sljlll in answer.

The waiting was for long per- iods. until the unannounced time when the Cabinet meeting of un- specified length would break up; not daring to Irrive late. last one miss the hurried departure. It the end of the vigil. one would perhaps get I curl brush-off: 'When

Those eighty discomforted news- men represented sixteen million Canadians; anxious to learn the outcome of the government crisis.

On that occasion as frequently over many years. it would have been easy and kindly for the Prime Minister to say that his secretary would notify the press gallery when the Cabinet meeting wns I- bout to break up. Newrlmen could then hnaten over to the Eu: Block in lime to buttonhole the Prime Minister. and would hnve been Iaved the long and unnecessary wIit. But no; the little act of con- sideration was consistently over- looked by kindly Uncle Louie. The "wait and whattle" technique was necessary and unpleasant prac- fict-

Further, he told us there would be no need to waste ollr time waiting outside the Cabin:-t's meeting place: if there was to be any newsworthy announcement. he would always and word liver to summon us. And as for the Cabinet meeting to be held later that day. why this was I Saturday.a holiday for most Ca- 3 nadians, and he was sure none of l ua wanted to wait around while our fellow-cltlrens were enjoying- leisure with their families. Noth- ing would be announced that after- noon Ifter the Cabinet meeting. and we could all go home with I clear conscience.

Of course this new deal earned . criticism from some of the sour- punnes which I free press always fosters. It was improper. thuse Inid. for the Prime Minister to talk to the press about the London con- ference before he had reported to his cabinet. But these critics ov- erlooked the important point that newsman in Britain had already interviewed Mr. Dlefenhaker and most other Prime Ministers at the end of their conference the prev-- iouI day. Mr. Defenhnker was merely giving to Canadian newspa- pers the information which Bri- llsh newspaper: had Ilready had the opportunity of publishing. And he was also spelling out his plans for the future. his intention to util- lile the Fourth Estate in keep all Canadians fully informed as to the deliberations of their servants the government: and his kindly cun- Ilderntion to give it to us the sen- Iible way rather than through the "wait. and whattle" method.

Simply defined, placebos Ire in- jections. tabletn or liquids given I patient despite the fIct they have no medical value.

However. believe it or not, they frequently are very helpful in treat- ing disease. In fact. most patients will react at least occasionally when placebos are given instead pf actual medication.

There have been many instanc- es wllere patients have been giv- en only placebos aad have report- ed rclief iroln pain or some other lnlorovenlcnt in their illness. .'tt:lny patients also report side rea- artlolls such as itching. dlarrhen and even extreme weakness when given just I "blank" preparation.

One study of L082 patients dis- closed that about one-third of them were decidedly improved at ler placebo therapy. Conditions help- ed by administration of these non- drug drugs included headaches, tension. wound pain and even the enmmon cold.

One place where placebos pear to be used to some extent is in aiding persons with incurable di- senses. Giving them something- even though the doctor knows no- thing can cure their disease - helps allay their fears.

The fact that I patient is being Ilded by placebo therapy does not mean the doctor should stop making some medication that might be of more physical help. QUESTION AND ANSWER
