The Summit Challenge

The alacrity with which PTemier Khrushchev has accepted the West’s proposal to hold a sunlmit meeting in

t" the Security Council may be a sign’of

a better and more reasonable alp- l'proach to Middle East problems. On the other hand, it may be nothing more than another trick to con- found Western diplomacy in the area, The Western powers must. be prepar- ed for this contingency. The meet-- ing-«if there is no last minute hitch in the arrangements—Will enable the Soviet leader to present his case to the world .via the UN; but it‘ will also allow the United States, Britain and France to have their say.

What better opportunity could there be of regaining the propa- ganda ground we have lost in this affair, and of tearing Khrushchev’s charges of “Wéstern aggression” in Lebanon and Jordan to shreds ?, Having the meeting within —the United Nations, as Prime Minister Macmillan shrewdly foresaw, will give it a more judicial status and will tend to keep the debate within rele- vant bounds. Under such conditions, should it be so difficult to prove that in for‘estalling gangsterism the West- ern powers, are acting for the free world and for the Middle East nations who wouldstay free?

Khrushchev and his accomplices

- on the one hand and Western and neu-

tralist representatives on the other are no doubt approaching the Council summit with ' quite different pur- poses. Khrushchev’s main objective

banon and British troops out of J or- dan, so that the former explosive sit- uation in both countries may be re- stored. He,iobviously, has no inten- tion of agreeing to a. United Nations force of any ‘sizc‘ in either, country;

the Japanese resolution inthe Se— curity Council. The Western powers, on the other hand, will not be satisfi- ed with any arrangement that mered ly removes American and British

forces from the area. They will want ’

and insist on ironclad guarantees of stability, backed up by effective U.N. forces. ~ - '

. Sooner or later, discussions will have to give place to _resolutions, if not at thesummit, then at» a less ex- alted meeting'of the Council; And un- less Mr. Khrushchev has had a real change of heart and not merely a change of strategy, he will ’ Oppose any constructive move in this direc- tion. Certainly there is’no magic about a summit meeting, whether in

the Security Council or [anywhere

else, that will neccssarily make it succeed. But the challenge to debate is one which no side with a just cause can afford to ignore. It is for the Western powers to rally all their for- ées in this verbal battle, in full aware‘ ness of the significance that will be attached to it not only in the Middle East, but all “the way from Morocco to Southeast Asia.

Britain And Iordan

. It is a noteworthy twist of his- tory that has brought British troops back to Jordan. They were forced out a little more than two years ago be- cause of anti-Western pressure ,on young King Hussein, They have been recalled to defend the king against those very people who intrigued against British influence. ' .

Jordan owes its very existence to

Britain and the continuance of its in- dependance to British military “aid and financial grants. Since 1921 when Jordan became a nation under British sponsorship and protection, it has

received hundreds of millions of,

pounds from the British Treasury. This, of course, was’not entirely for the sake 'of Jordan’s freedom; the

‘1 safeguarding of British interests in

the region was also involved. Never—

‘~ theless, it is true to say that but for

British aid Jordan could not have sur» vived, although in late years the Uni- ted States has made relatively small Contributions to the country’s econ-

' omi’c stability.

It is a tribute to Britain’s policy in Jordan over the years that when the break came in the Spring of 1956 it was marked by goodwill on both

sides and that when the country found itself in danger from the

Egyptians and the revolutionaries in

Iraq, the first call for help went to Britain. It seems likely that, what-

’ever course present; events may take,

the old relationship will be revived and made permanent, though perhaps not in the former way. .

‘ Puppets And Politicians

Word from the Boston University School of Eduéation is that puppets have proved useful in correcting hu- man speech defects According to Miss Louise Kingman of the Univer' sity staff, individuals often forget their speech fright. and speak ad- equately when speaking for a puppet.

“But the puppet.” says Miss King- man, “is only a temporary crutch and gradually is discarded in the course of

instruction. Once the student realizes I

that he unconsciously has corrected his speech problem he quickly can find apermanent solution to the dis- order. The fear of speaking to a large

group is one of the most common

speech disorders. This fear stenls from a deep desire to be accepted by

others. But the fear that the indivi-

dual will say something wrong or silly and be laughed at by the audience from whom he seeks acceptance often causes him to refrain from speaking.”

So says the expert. But frankly—— we say it with respect—we find it hard to believe. Take the average pol- itician, for example. He certainly wants to» be accepted. That is why he is a politician. He often says wrong and silly things and is not infrequent- ly laughed at by the audience. But does that cause him to “refrain from speaking”? Of course not. He goes

right on speaking as if he had not a.

worry in the World, as if the levity of his audience were a testimonial to his eloquence.. \

Britons 5 Remember The Suez. Incident {

' By M. McINTYRE HOOD M Special London lEng.) Correspondent

for The Guardian

LONDON _— Public reaction to the clinical situation which has seen the despaboh of United Stat- es and British Forces to the Le banon and Jordan must be judg- ed against the background of

bar 1956. When Britain and France intervened at the time of the Israeli invasion of Egypt, they found the United States lined up against them. 'Ilhe Bullish public has not ﬁangottcn that.

So. as we talked to people this morning in a crowd of some 200 to 300 gathered outside No. 10 Downing Street, the genenal com- meul was “Well, the Americans ape with us this time and they have jumped in iiinst.” One man with a decided Cockney accent, blunted out, “It makes, us feel good to know we are not going it alone as we did atWSuez.“ g V PUBLIC OPINION MIL

The cnowd in Downing Street was a rather gruncrowd. At, tunes of crisis it acorns natural for people to gravitate to that famous street, to stand outside the residence of the Prime Min-' later. What they hope to learn there, we could never find out. But there they stood this morn: ing looking on as Duncan Sandys, Minister of Weir and some high- rankli-ug officer's entered the por- tals of No. 10. Their presence there indicated that there was an atmsp-here of gravity in the com- ing and going of Oalhimet Minis: tiers and Officials.

Sin—Every clay we see ads about Carefully—Pre- venting Automobile lAccidents etc. What about the Island high- ways themselves, are lliey safe? The answer is, “No”.

You can drive miles and miles on this Island past sharp cur- ves, turniolfs, crossroads, and ‘ steep hills and never see a sign to this I drive fourteen miles to work each morning and in those few miles I pass two highway hazard points. Very’fre— quently We see cars rolled or in the ditch and once in a while someone is hurt.

The first points is at Travel- ler’s Rest where there is a sharp blind turn, yet there is no sign saying a turn is coming up. The second point is on the Sher- brooke. Road where Central Street; Simmersid'e, joins it. Coming from Sumnerside you have to turn sharply to the right or left but there is no sign reading so. If you fail to make this turn you end up (if you're lucky) in the marsh; This morn- ing there Was a car in the marsh whereas a simple sign reading “T” would have told this driver what was ahead. I dare anyone to make‘thazt tum safely at thirty. m.p.h., ‘and‘ on a new road who drives at thirty m.p.h.? '

A “Historic Site” for accidents is at Margate corner condng from Cavendish to Kensington. Many . accidents have taken place here in the last two years slncethis road was newly paved, but still .the..peaple ,msponsible refuse to put a sign up to show there is a curve ahead.

From travelling in New Brims- wick,. I find that there back roads are marked than our main highways.

I often wonder what our tour- ists think of our roads. It is very nice to' have newly paved. roads but please, those of you responsible. please don‘t build them until you can mark the danger spots. ‘

The. outlook for action had seemed every good when Dr. Groulx, Director of the city’s Health Department, recommend- ed it in unqualiﬁed terms, and the Council passed his report on to the previous Executive Com- mittee. There it was sidetracked ostensibly because of the cost, estimated at between $600,000 and $700,000!
