”1f alt.-oliitc lllultli stiincltii-tis are not

Britain, Fi'aiit-c and Israel :it'tcr the
Suez crisis eiuptcd into fighting. The
”tceth" he recommended then were
UN. resoliitions condemning the "ail.-
grcssors" and, by inference. praising
Egypt's Colonel Nasser's lawlessness.
It seems that the trouble with Asiatic diplomats when they so from their iisual habitats to the solemn assembly of the M.P..A. (sometimes referred to as the "rich man's Sal- vation Army," thougli it is much less influential than that great or- ganization) is that they try to con-
vert themselves overnight, and for a
brief period of time. from run of the
mill politicians, which most of them
'. are, to moral pcrfectionists under the stimulus of group-psychology. But it is one thing to expound ab- solute morality in the peaceful and luxurious atmosphere of the Grand Hotel and quite another to work out on a fair basis solutions to political problems that arise from time to time.
No doubt, it would be a fine thing if absolute moral standards were practised by all nations. including the Arab nations, at all times. We then should have a perfect world or something yery much like it. But in I perfect world there would, of course, be no need of a lfnitcd Na- tions General Assembly nor, inci- dentally, of an international police force to keep the Irnquis. the Jor- danians. the Syrians. the Israelis and all the others front cutting one anothcr's throats.

This is not a particularly reassur- ing analysis of the free world's re- sponse to the economic needs of the bockwanrl areas of the world. but it . probably contains a good deal of tmth. When the United States, and other Western nations in it smaller way. began to give economic aid to those areas after the end of World War Two the assumption was that

In the last few years. however, the official Western view has gradu- ally veend from political considera- tions to a "humanitarian" outlook. The chief proponent of the change was Pt-csiticnt Eisenhower who, soon after lic took office in January 1933, lwguii talking about the need to help the peoples of the backward areas ill order to raise their standards of lziltig and to make them happier and tnore contented, whether or not they chose to ally themselves with the Wcst. This seemed like a good idea; and. of course, it was. a very splen- (iid (lien --in form. The thought that hunt:in need must be subordinated to political intrigue is a repulsive one to tiiiytme who has the slightest un- d--txtaiidiiig of Christian morality. ll-wiiiiiliilc. however, the Russians kt --t on their original political course
ttluttit it. as their organized cruelty in llungary has proved clearly ctiougli. It seems now that the Rus- t xinti "political lirilicry” system is '1 uorkiiig out in India and other i I t
Asiatic countries better than the mixture of humanitarianism and practical politics which holds tem- p porary ascendancy in Washington
and other points West. This has been reportetl from a number of on-the- spot observers from time to time; and Mrs. Meyer has given it an in- tcrprelzttion that appears plausible, though it is far from comforting to those who hope that eventually Asia will choose the democratic way of life iti preference to a Sovict-spon- sored totalitarianism.
Where Was The Board? Since the issue in the railway strike is whether safety and effici- ency would be affected by the com- pany's proposals to restrict the use of firemen on certain operations, it is hard to understand why the Gov- ernment did not at once order its Board of Transport Commissioners to adjudicate on this matter. This Board has wide powers, as we know to our cost in this Province from the adverse rulings it has given on sev- eral occasions in connection with railway transportation. Why did it not function in this case? Section 290 of the Railway Act provides that "the Board may make orders and regulations," among other things "designating the number of men to be employed upon trains, with a View to the safety of the public and em- ployees": also "generally providing for the protection of property, and the protection, safety, accommoda- tion and comfort of the public, and of the employees of the company, in the rutinitig and operation of trains." 'l'licsc powers would seem to ('over the issue fully; yet they have not lint-ii invoked. Nor was it neces- sary to wait for instructions from P;ll'llttlll0llf in doing so. The C.P,R. ---or the union. or for that matter the ('iin;idian National. which last )Wll' itiadc similar proposals about tlic use of firemen on diesels--could make an application to the Trans- port Board for a hearing. and the Board could not very wcll rcfusc if the subject falls within its jurisdic- tion. lndccd. it appear: to he the only body able to riot-irlc the basic question of safety involved in the dispute.

IN CASE WE FORGOT
So the linitcd States is lzoing to
more than S:l.000.000 towards clear- iniz the Suez Canal. This is big. Turn now to reports
concerning the present state of the Suez Canal.
On .lan. 2. the first vessel to be raised from the channel bottom by efforts was lifted to the sur- lace of Port Said harbor. it was
been lying where it was sunk for nine weeks.
Five of the nine lost weeks pass- ed in argument between Col. Nul- ser of Egypt and Secretary llam- marskjold of the United Nations.
the U-N order for the immediate
tige, was interested in blocking or cvIdlng.
Thanks to Dr. llammarskjold. he got five weeks” worth of prestige built up for him at U-N expumle before he consented to let the canal he had blocked be cleared for him -also It U-N expense-

AT OWN EXPENSE
Until the emergence of the tug- boat Adrolte under U-N auspices last week any clearance done in the 103-mile length of international waterway which Nasser first grab- bed and then wrecked had been done at their own expense by the dispossessed property owners.
They managed to do quitea lot it in Port Said harbor before Dr. Hammarskjold made them stop do- ing it because Col. Nasser did not like it. That's all over now. the property owners have been kick- ed out, the U-N l: in charge and in I new year.
It's I new year and everything is going to be lovely. The tugboat Adroite has been raised by the UN and that only leaves 40 ships Ind two bridges. and Frcsident Eisen- hower has I new Middle Eastern policy-
Fle told I U.S. Congressional committee so yesterday. Now only cynicn believe that, with Mr. Dullcl in charge. it will still be American oil companies doing the what- comes-naturally under cover of that blessed 'word' ”Intl-colonial."
NONE OF THAT
No indeed. No more New Jersey oil lease: busting out Ill over Ar- IblI. No more agents of the USSR spending U.S. all fund: to promote the dictatorship of the Syn-lIn. Lib- yan. Algerian. Saudi ArIbiIn, Leb- anese Ind other local proletariatti.
None of that, but Iomelblng renally big. A U.S loan of perhnpl
more than 33 millions to help clear i v the Suez for Col. Naner; than
the sort of scotch-tape to mend
the Middle Eastern break in the 1
West's defenses.
That will show how Dullcti knew what he waI Ibout when he used the U.-N to make France and Brit- Iin cease and desist. from trying to protect their treaty rights in the Suez.
There's only one question now. Mr- Hanson W. Baldwin the New York Times military expert puts it: "Who will get the leadership bf the Middle East: the United Nations. the United Statel or the Soviet Union?"
You guess.

EMOTION MAY PRODUCE .. SPOTS BEFORE THE EYES
You may Ielually "led red" when you Ire angry. but you may see spots.
Those floating specks or little hair-like curlicues which most of us see before our eyn It some time or other may be temporary caused by some violent emotion.
Chances are you might have no- tices them while seated in I den- listis chair having you teeth fix- ed. it's not unusual ” such I situation sometimes produces I certain amount of fear.
These spots - we call them "vitreous opacities" - might also be the result of lowered pbyiiical condition or -high blood pressure. MAY BE oi.p AGE .
Possibly it is old age creeping up on you. Then; again. it may mean something serious. Detach- ment uf the retina, for example. might be indicated by I large spot or I cloud of fine dust-like par- ticles before the eyes.
Coarser spots sometimes men I serious rheumatic or tubercular infection. an injury to the mem- branes of the eye or even an Ib- cessed tooth.
These spots. or curlicues. which appear to dart about in front of your vision actually are floating inside the eye in the jelly-like lub- stance which fills it. The vast ma- jority of these specks Ire the ra- mIinI of white cellI which become detached from the eye: interior membranu. The denser spots us-
ually come from broken blood veI- i
seis- OTHER CAUSES
if you are nearsighted, or have -
astigmatism, you Ire much more likely to Ice these specks, and
they In more likely to remain i with you. But if you are still young i or middle-aged. and are in pret- .
ty good health, they probably will not cause any great InnoyIncc.
Still, if these spots Ipppear sud- denly. and remain for Iny length of time. it'I I good idea to Ice In eye doctor. -
