REE a sum. Yesterday's Results

At the time of writing it was ev- ident that the Liberals had gained enough seats in yesterday’s feder- al election to carry them into pow- er, though it was doubtful whether they would succeed in getting an overall majority. In that case, all that can be said is that the voters will not tolerate a repetition of the tactics which brought on this un- timely contest. They will expect, on both sides, a greater measure of responsibility in carrying on the country’s business.

Mr. Pearson is pledged to summon Parliament on May 16 and bring down a budget implementing his program during its first month. In defence he would honor what he claims to be the nation’s commit- ments to NATO and NORAD by equipping the armed forces with nu- clear warheads. In the field of soc- ial security he would bring in a national contributory pension plan, paid for by individual contributors and not financed out of general rev- enue. Later, if the economy has ex- panded sufficiently to afford it, he would bring in a national health insurance plan.

If Mr. Pearson succeeds in gaining an overall majority he will of course have no difficulty in getting all his measures through Parliament. But if there is enough opposition to de- feat him on the floor of the House, what then? Would he be entitled to dissolution? According to Dr. Eu- gene Forsey, an authoritative in- terpreter of ou :- parliamentary rules, if this defeat involved some great issue of public policy, yes; otherwise only if all possible alter- native'Prime Ministers had either declined office or made it plain be- forehand that they would decline if asked. That would leave some margin for stability, at least.

While congratulating the victors on this occasion, we think it is Mr. Diefenbaker who merits our final salute. He fought the greatest bat- tle of his life, against odds that no other government leader in this country ever faced. His party will still have strong representation in the next Parliament. Let us hope that in defeat it will get rid of the dissensions that caused it to come to grief.

Significant Gesture It is of more than passing inter- . est that the German town of Aachen is awarding its Charles the Great prize this year to Edward Heath, British Lord Privy Seal and Min- ister of European Affairs. This ' prize, established in 1949 by a group k. of Aachen citizens, is given annually in recognition of the "most notable Eachievement in encouraging inter- national understanding and co-oper- : ation in the European sphere." Mr. Heath will be the second Briton to receive the award. The first was . Winston Churchill in 1955. While previous awards were in appreciation of contributions the I recipients have made to European

understanding, this time it will be

i: for something attempted but not yet done. For Mr. Heath has so far failed to achieve what he attempt- l ed, namely to bring Britain into i Europe through membership in the

u

ilEur-opean Common Market.

significant development supporting the idea of a greater European unp ity extending far beyond the nar- row concept of French President de Gaulle and other “little Europeans.” It is of interest, too, that this comes f r o m Aachen (Aix-Ie-Chappelle), once the capital of the Holy Roman Empire and crowning place of Ger- man emperors. Charlemagne (Char- les the Great) died there.

President de Gaulle professes to want a. return to the political Europe of Charlemagne, but the people of Aachen evidently have a different idea of what present-day European unity involves. Most of the German press is using the occasion to ex- press support for this wider Europe, including Britain, as an essential development.

Good News Indeed

The future of the Maritime coal industry is a matter of concern to all of us in this area. It is pleas- ing therefore to note that the pros- pects are not so bleak as we were led to suppose a few years ago. The big question mark is how fast nu- clear power will be generated in this country. But for the forseeabla future, its industries are going to need plenty of coal because it uses plenty of electricity.

This was brought strikingly to the attention of the Ontario Leg- islature the other day by Energy Resources Minister Macaulay in in- troducing his department’s esti- mates. Not only was more coal used last year in Ontario, he said, but the consumption is expected to rise for at least until 1970. Last year the province consumed 13,146,- 000 tons. An estimated 16,000,000 tons will be needed in seven years’ time.

The explanation for more coal in this era of electricity, oil, na- tural gas and nuclear power is On- tario Hydro. The more electricity Ontario uses, the more coal Hydro needs to buy. The demand for ther- mal power was higher in 1962 be- cause low water levels affected the generation of hydraulic power. But even with more water available, Hydro will still need more thermal power.

And it will continue to use Nova Scotia coal. Nova Scotia. said the minister, will supply Ontario with $28,000,000 worth of coal in the next five years, an average of 14 per cent of all that province’s coal production during that time. The coal must be shipped to Ontario, and that means a. hugh shipping contract. One special ship, an ocean-going type which will be among the largest to use the St. Lawrence Seaway, is being started at once. Another is probable.

Precarious Stability

It would seem now that the Un- ited States has reached a. tacit agreement, or perhaps a secret formal understanding, with Premier Khrushchev and his government which has produced a momentary stability in Cuba. The Russians have voluntarily removed some of their troops and it is hoped they will with- draw more. They are also refraining from turning their Soviet-manned antiairicraft missiles on the Amer- ican reconnaissance aircraft which are taking photographs of Cuba. The United States, for its part, has refrained from a blockade. It has now taken active steps in Miami and on the high seas, and with the help of Great Britain. to put limits on refugee raiders.

Analyzing this curious setup, the Christian Science Monitor de- fines it as “a form of cooperation which comes after an extension of Soviet power and serves to perpet- uate it.” The United States accepts it for the present because the alter- native—driving the Soviet Union out of Cuba and making way for tightening an inter-American cordon around the island—is presently too dangerous. The Soviet guarantee of the Castro regime against counter- measures is working, but cold war rules—the mechanics of stalemate- have been successfully brought into the Western Hemisphere by Khrushchev and the United States has to observe them in order to gain certain concessions.

This is justified as long as the '

concessions keep coming from the Kremlin. But the history of this

‘lrind of close-in coexistence Is not

mm At sane point the Kremlin has .ueually knocked misses-terse. ‘

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson

"Black Muslims” Movement In The U.SA.

The Separatist movement in Quebec has a wealthy and well- organized parallel in the "Black Muslims" in U.S.A. This sect is not interested in mere desegregation; it wants to set up an independent state within the territory now com- prising the U.S.A. And now it has announced its intention to Seek its aims through political action.

The Black Muslims in a se- cret organization. No White man has ever been admitted to a meeting in one of its temples. No revelation of its numerical strength has ever been made, although it is considered to be the fastest-growing association among U.S.A.’s population of 20,000,000 coloured citizens.

Unlike the French-Canadian race. U.S.A.'s coloured race has no specific territorial base regarded as its homeland, as the province of Quebec "home" to Canada’s Baptiste". So the Black Mus- lims are formulating a vague demand that Washington should cede a huge tract of rich fertile land, somewhere in the United States, which could be estab- lished as n homeland for the coloured people of U.S.A. Wa- shington would be expected to subsidise this new independent coloured republic for one gen- eration, to enable it to grow in- to economic stability.

While this project echoes the ambitions of the more extreme nationalists in Quebec. it also has overtones and echoes of re- cent developments in other parts of the world. Like Isreal, it would be created as an arti- ficial homeland for a certain ethnic group. to which the faithful would be expected to migrate. Like South Africa, it would constitute a self-contain- ed independent country for a segment of the present popula- tion. copying the project of Bantustan which is the practi- cal application of South Af- rica's “apartheid”.

The Black Muslims, as their implies, also has very important religious aspects. Arab Moslems question the ba- sic doctrine of these new co-re- ligionists: they argue that the faith of Islam is all-embracing, and does not countenance ra- cism such as the Black Mus- lim separatist movement seeks.

0n the other hand, the Black Muslims strictly enforce upon their members such basic teaching among the “Thou shalt nots" as drinking alcohol. smoking. using nalcotics, steal- ing. eating pig, getting into debt and — most important ~— showing disrespect towards wo-

en.

EMERGING NATIONS LEAD

to independence. If the former French colonies in Africa can now be fully self-governing. with their own flag and their own ambassadors around the world, why cannot we? they ask. Among the black Muslims there is an extra envy reserved for the achievement of inde- pendence by those former col- onies in Africa, whence their forefathers were carried off in- to slavery. Their African home~ lands may lack the automatic dishwashers and self-propelled jalopies which coloured famil- ies in U,S.A. now enjoy; but they do have their own national flags!

This movement in USA. has one very important parallel with the more extreme move- ment in French-Canada. They no longer seek the equality

which is their constitutional right under the laws 0 .A. They don’t want any conde- scending and overdue “hand- outs" from the descendants of the slave-owners who first sub- jugated their race. No: wha they Seek now is complete in- dependence — to be their own masters in their own newly- created homeland.

The Black Muslims have only recently come to the forefront. But with their numbers comes a substantial war chest. Their leader. the 65-year old Chicago “Prophet”, known as “The Honourable Elijah Mohamet", has the nude to buy time weekly on 34 radio stations for his talks. to public several weekly newspapers, and to build a sparkling new $200000 temple in Washington.

Artery Block Causes 50% Of All Strokes

A MIDDLE - aged carpenter had several spells In which he and out. His wife witnessed one of these episodes and said it ryeelnbled a faint and. lasted less than three minutes. There were no twitches or convulsive the muscles of the

work use as atra hurting himself or others. What caused his blackouts? Many X- rays and other tests ruled out epilepsy and brain tumor. The clue came when the physician heard a buzzing sound as he put the stethoscope over the carotid artery in the man's neck. Blo makes this type of humming noise when it passes through a narrowed segment of the artery.

A special solution was inject- ed into this artery while X-rays were taken. The resulting films demonstrated the partial ob- struction. and surgery was sug- gested. The narrowed part was bridged with a small plastic blood vessel and normal circu- lation to the brain was restored. He is well and works every day. .

Brain cells are extremely sen- sitive to any disturbance in cir- culation. Fifty per cent strokes are caused by a com- plete obstruction in one or more of the arteries thrit carry blood to the brain. Many of these ves- sels are inaccessible to the sur- geon. The location of those that are accessible is demonstrated by feeling for certain pulsations, listening for humming sounds in the neck. and utilizing spe- cial eye tests.

There is no need for X-rays of the arteries when surgery is not required. 0n the other hand, operation may be advised when the obstruction is found in the neck or chest. But, to be helpful. it must he done at the beginning of the stroke. The purpose of the X-rays is to locate the plugged segment.

Brain hemorrhage in a person with high blood pressure also causes stroke but the outlook is not as good as in an obstructed

carotid artery and surgery sel- ,

dam is recommended. The ex- ception is when a small dilated artery (aneurysm) starts bleed- ing. Here surgical treatment may be life - saving.

PI.

The milk may regurgitate through nose, especially when the child nurses vigorously and receives more milk at one time than can be swallowed. This youngster deserves an examina- tion, however, because of the outside chance that a cleft pal- ate exists.

Yes. The longer the abnor- mality is allowed to continue, the more difficult it may be to treat.

Nubian Imlight

It Is now nearly three years since Uneaco organized the in- ternational campaign to safe- guand the archaeological trea- sures of Noble. What has been done in Nubi over this period is described in a. book. "Nubian Twilight." just published.

The author, Rex Keating, is a member of Unesco's secretariat and knows well the area under excavation. Nubia, the ancient

Kush, w to any millenia both a gateway and a barrier. between Egypt and the African heartland and the book gives an account of its develop- ment through the ages.

Men have lived along this 300-mlle stretch of the Nile Val- ley from the remote Palaeolithic era to the present day but; its end is imminent for_when, in the early summer of 1964. the flood waters start to rise behind will be transformed into an A5- wan’s High Dam, Nubia imm- ense’l'a'ke and incompambly rich record of the past will be lost lrretrievably.

The book also casts light on the many exceptional personal- ities who have shaped the his- tory of this austerer beautiful land. The two great temples of Abu Simbel are examined at length and a character is da- voted to the vast though little- known fortresses of the Second Cataract with the fortifications as sophisticated and ingenious as any devised by the Saracens and Crusaders, 3,000 years later.
