Encouragitg News

A new and more hopeful picture of our Causeway prospects is given in a report from our Ottawa Bureau “dn today’s issue. It indicates, first * of all, that there is little doubt as _ to establishing the feasibility of the © project and that the reports now be- ing co-ordinated are for’ the pur- * pose of drawing the initial plans i which have been ordered for Dec- f

ember 15 next at the latest. In the

epestime an official statement by Hon. David Walker, Minister,of ‘Pub- c Works, is expected to be issued within the next fortnight, explaining + 4ust what is being done.

_ that official progress reports should be given, as evidence—if nothing éelse—of the government’s good faith in the matter. Had this been done | earlier there would have been much _ less criticism and misunderstanding as to the nature of the surveys and the scope of the difficulties encount- ered, From the reassuring tone of the Ottawa despatch, we judge _ that these problems have been pretty well surmounted, even to the extent _ of estimating the cost (between $70 million and $120 million if-rait-trat> fie is provided for, as it should be), the starting of construction in the spring of 1961, and the é¢ompletion within five years of that time.

_By 1961, critics may say, the Diefenbaker Government will be look- ing for a new mandate from the people, and this will be just another

: vote-catcher. We do not think so. | The project (if all goes well) will | definitely have been launched before that and the delay between the pre- | sentation of the initial plans and the actual undertaking of the work will _ be quite understandable. As pointed - out in the despatch, the St. Lawrence Seaway studies dragged on for twenty years\before the work was started.

In any case, we have maintained that this is not a political project and we intend to keep this fact in the forefront. The Conservative surveys were preceded by prelimin- ary surveys by the provincial and

_ federal Liberal governments, and it was Premier Matheson and Mr. Neil A. Matheson, the then Liberal MP for Queens, who first broached the subject here and at Ottawa, and-met with a good deal of criticism for their pains. It is to the credit of the then

_ Opposition leader, Mr. Bell, that he “strongly indorsed the Premier’s pre- sentation in the Legislature and the

arguments put forth in this news- paper at the time. But the job then wasn’t so mutch to sell the idea to Ottawa as to sell it to many of our own people, who regarded it as fan- tastic or, at best, as a scheme for

_ the remote future. 4

This great undertaking will re- dound to the credit of all who helped in its advancement, and notably. of course to the government which, act- Wally accomplishes it. Let’s leave it at that. We are now waiting hope- ‘fully for Hon. Mr. Walker’s state- ment, so that we can study the facts and not the credit claims, of which we have heard too much already.

Conservative Victory The Macmillan Government has been returned in yesterday’s gener- al elections in the United Kingdom, and with an increased - majority over ifs standing in the last Parlia- ment, It was a‘ lively battle, with the traditional exchange of verbal brickbats and with a great deal of last-minuie uncertainty among the voters. Public opinion polls had in- dicated that the two main parties were running neck and neck, but bet- ting, for most part, favored «the Conservatives. They held 339 of the 630 seats fn the last Parliament, to 278 for Labor, with the Liberals holding six. _ Bix seats were vacant and the other | geat was held by’ the Speaker, who } neutral. But the Tory strength in mnt was not a true reflection overall 1955 vote, which gave i) ” :

AF on ng +OF

There were some lively doings in-

the last few days of the campaign. Even Prime Minister Macmillan warmed up rhetorically, denouncing the Labor promises as “irresponsible

last minute bids of men who are

determined to gain power by any means, reputable or disreputable.”* And Mr. Gaitskell, speaking at north- county Leeds in the concluding speech of his -campaign, called the Tories “snobbish, defeatist, servile, out-of-date.”

-In London’s Guildhall, Field Mar- shall Montgomery waded into the fray, announcing that when Parlia- ment reconvenes he will. desert the cross-benches (where independents sit) in the House of Lords and take his place among the Conservatives. With blitzkrieg tactics he declared that “anyone who votes Labor at this time should be locked-up in a lunatic asylum.”

On Sunday, however, there was a truge. Prime Minister

Maemillan .

went to church with his Labor op-—

ponent Albert Murray in the Bromley division of Kent. Each read one of the lessons. And they sat in the same pew—with the Prime Minister's wife, Lady Dorothy Macmillan, between them. That’s British politics for you!

The Conservative win is not hard to account for. There is almost full employment in Britain, and the stand- ard of living is the highest in the nation’s history. And Mr. Macmillan could rightly claim that his foreign policy has helped lessen the tensions of the cold war. He has measured up to a-high standard of statemanship, and from this distance, at least, it

looks as though he has well merited ©

the decisive victory he has won for his party.

Moral lectures to aggressive pow- ers are all very well, but the United Nations, like lesser bodies, should remember that actions speak louder than words. The small 5,334-man U.N. Emergency Force is still main- taining an uneasy peace along the Israeli-Egyptian border, and accord- ing to Secretary General Dag Ham- marskjold this force will have to wind up the year with a deficit of over six million dollars unless 63— repeat, 63—members pay their over-

According to, an account in the Aug. 28 issue of Soviet-skava Ros- siya, first proposed in 1950 as an ex- planation for the “‘Tungus Won- der.”’

An expedition of the Soviet

year a dozen scientists and sen- ior students from universities and institutes at Tomsk made a se- cond study. :

They found that the radioac- tivity of plants at the center of the explosion site was\ from 50 to 100 per cent? higher. than on the edge of the area of destruc- tion, at a distance of twenty to twenty-five miles in all direc- tions. There was a sharp drop in radioactivity some six miles from the center point.

Some of the rock and earth samples also showed abnormal- ly high radioactivity.

The Tungus explosion has ne been a subject of specula- on.

EARLIER ACCOUNT

According to earlier accounts the few inhabitants of -this sub- * Arctic region saw a'huge fire ball fallfrom the sky.. The explosion’-that followed leveled 700 to 800 square miles of for- est. The resulting wind swept water from the lakes and hurled men long distances.

What puzzled scientists wh'o reached the site later was the absence of a great hole in the ground or amy fragments typi- cal or meteorites. There were many small craters within 3,000 feet of the center and tiny globul- es of nickel-iron imbedded in bed rock fused by the explosion.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Oct. 9, 1934)

Rescinding a decision to have the Cit® Surveyor do ail street work under the unemployment relief program, and the adoption of an amendment to call tend- ers for a portion of this work, resulted from a lengthy discus- sion at last night's meeting of the City Council.
