Ultra-Optimistic

Doubtless, I certain amount of Optimism is a valuable trait in the personality of any Foreign Secre- tary. The post must he I burden. some one for the moist cheerful ""1115 I01" 8 l.'.l0Un1,l' man it would be unbearable.

so be said at the time. Just why it had that ctfoct has ncicr heen made vicar. ('ci'tainly it accom-

plished nothing as far as East-West problems were concerned. At least. if it'dirl serve any useful purpose. the world has never been told about it When. a little later. the Soviet Union started negotiations with the West German Government directly. without so much as informing the other poucrs of its Intentions. Mr. llulles callcd it a ”victory for Am- erican diplomacy". He never did say what American diplomacy had to do uith it. one way or the other .-mribably bciaii-e he didn't know. When the Russians made an arms deal with Ei:.Vi1t, he came up with the surprising statement that it iii'du't inatlcr, suice Russia had a legal l'lElll. to enter into arms drals with any country. The fact that it was hound to have serious reper- cussions in lhi Mirlrill Fall fill'lEF.l' rone seemed to bother him not at all.

These are I few of the many instances which could be quoted int faioiir oi ftlr.

It ha: been forced to do so in the trnining of specialists and research experts. whom thistecbnlcal age urgently needs. In many high schools- where students until quite recently had the right to choose their courses almost entirely according to their own wishes-the curriculum is becoming obligatory. devoted to mathematics, science. English. hi... lrttiv. lzeography and civics. More than half these institutions have organized special sections in which brilliant students can give free rein to their talent without waiting for their less-endowed colleagues- ii procedure which would have been regarded as very "anti-democrItic” I few years ago. Certain primIry schools are doing the same. The mile of tithe lowest common denom- inator" has quite lost the decisive role it once played. The traditional regular reports on pupils' work have

One. of the hardest things about making R speech is to know how to end. says the Montreal Gazette. And very often the most effective ending is I quotation. in this con- nectinn. The (ii-izette quotes Ip- provinizly from the speech made by Mr. Ihiefenbaker at the Canada Club in London on July 1st.

Providence being their izulde. they builded better than they knew'.''

To which The Gan-tte adds: "it is haiwi to think of I more appro- priate quotation for ending in speech by I (iiinadian Prime Minister in London on Dominion Day."
