Hard to Understand

We regret that in his welcome

visit to (“iiirioiiciouii at this time. Liberal Lender Pearson has little to soy about our Causeway

project. Thu: is not to say that he is against the project, by any means. As we recalled in our com- ments yes .i'tlay. it was the St. Laurent (imernment, of which he. was a member. tiiut initiated the survey work. which the Conserva- tives later Cill'l'lcfl through to the point where. according to their own statement. the planning is now "in the hands of highly qualified con- sultant engineers and an early start on this important connecting link is assured.”

This sitllulllelll in the Throne Speech in our Legislature was in- dorsed 100 pcr cent by Prime Min~ ister Diei'cnbukcr on his visit here last week. lie had previously pledg- ed himself to the Causeway’s con- struction on the basis of engineer- ing reports as to its feasibility. Yet we understand, from an interview with Mr. Pearson yesterday, that: he has never received assurance on this vital point. He has had no ac- cess to the reports on which the Prime Minister based his promise and he knows nothing about them. His attitude. in the circumstances, is that a similar Liberal commit- ment on the subject would be im- proper at this time.

We frankly cannot understand this situation. The Opposition in the last Parliament, if it had wanted information on the subject. could have asked for it. It could have placed questions on the Order Paper as it did in connection with many other matters of public concern, and obtained any data it 1equired.

Let us recall wha‘. happened in the Commons on April 17, 1962, when the Causeway pl e dge was first given by Mr. Diefenhaker. He said at that time that the studies undertaken since 1938 had been to determine whether the project would be feasible from an engineering point of view and justified from an economic point of view. And he add- ed. amid cheers from the House: “The answei in both cases is in the affirmative.”

What did Mr. Pearson say on that occasion? He did not question the laccuracy of the Prime Minis- ter’s- statement, or request to see the proof. He said that all mem- bers would welcome the announce— ment, though “on the eve of the election”; bit he wondered if “the cost; of the Causeway and other national undertakings in the future will not have to be paid for out of increasing deficits."

This may still be a valid matter of omicem; but it leaves us wonder-

, ldidn‘f discuss it here from that

angle. Surely we have a right to M where the Liberal Party

gain them three seats. A 10 percent~ or would gain them an added two; a 20 per cent blow would bring them another three—for I. total gain of eight.

If those winds blew Liberal they would gain as much as six seats with but a. change (if five per cent. Three more would come to the Lib- erals if the wind were 10 per cent, and if it hit a gale of 20 per cent they’d sweep another seven—for a total of 16.

But there is still the void seat of St. John’s West that could go either way with a gentle breeze of one per cent. Thus at 20 per cent turnover the Librals could gain 17 more seats in the Maritimes. The

same increase in votes would bring"

the Conservatives only eight more.

NDP ran 25 in the four prov- inces, Won one, got 10 per cent of the total vote in another, but got less than six per cent in the re- maining 23 in the last federal elec- tion. They don’t stand to gain unless the gales blow fierce for them. As for Social Credit, it ran 17 candidates, elected none. One got nine per cent of the vote and the rest between one and two per cent. They seem to be out of the picture, but there are French ma- jority seats in New Brunswick and Social Credit strength could slop over the border from Quebec

But some like to judge by the popular vote figures. It is not an exercise in precision judgment, but let’s humor them. In the 1958 elec- tions the popular vote in the Atlan- tic Provinces went this way:

Con. Lib. NDP SC NB .......... .. 54 43 2 1 NS . 57 38 5 -— PEI ............ .. 62 38 —- —— Nfld. ........ .. 45 54 1 -—

can Lib. NDP so NB 46 45 5 4 NS . ......... .47 42 9 1 PEI .......... .. 51 43 5 _ Nfld. ......... .. 36 59 5 ——

These facts and figures purport to show what damage the electoral storm could do in these parts on .April 8. All one has to do now is determine which way they’ll be blowing and at what force'-

Kennedy ln Costa Rica

President Kennedy concludes his three-day visit to San Jose, Costa Rica, today. There he has been in consultation with government lead- ers in the Caribbean area on plans for building a Central American “common market”, and on counter- ing Cuban-Communist subversion. The results of this conference could be of far reaching importance.

Guatemala, Hondums, El Sal- vador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica—- with Panama and Mexico watching carefully—i n t e n d to accomplish the economic integration of the isthmus by 1970. This includes the elimination of tariff barriers and the unification of all customs. President Kennedy has talked with the six Central American Presl- d-ents (including Panama) on bi- lateral trade matters, and has dis- cussed the global foreign policy situation.

What the United States hopes is that the San Jose meeting will give further momentum to an integ- rated economy and, possibly. to some kind of future loose political unification aimed—among other things-4t stopping the movement from Cuba of arms, people, money and propaganda into Central Amer- ica. A blueprint is also being dis- cussed for an integrated transporta- tion and communication network, setting up a regional grid electric power, and the five-nation Clearing House for payments balances.

The conference, if successful from Washington's point of view, will be good political material for Mr. Ken- nedy domestically. Following the well-publicized swing by Venezuelan President Betancourt to Puerto Rico, the United States and Mexico, it will show that the Caribbean has hardly “gone down the drain" for Communism as some Republican critics have been maintaining.

PUBLIC

FORUM

TIRED OF DIEF —I am wondering why an

election cannot be carried on:

without talk

so much small cheap . We supposedly have a Cabinet of educated men, but. at imes I won er. They do sound as such.

Last election Mr. Dlef. was all Causeway. Now it ' ‘they" Last week he spoke for fifteen minutes on TV. I got tired try- ing to count the number of times he used the word "they". He blames the Opposition for his failure to bring down the Budget etc. One cannot conceive the Premier resorting to such a lame excuse. rather ridiculous, or maybe convenient.

He also says “I'm not going into promises". That‘s just fine. because last election he said he was going to “lick” this own words) unemployment. Well did he? That was only one of many promises.

I wonder why he is so perturb- ed at the word "sick". He seems to be making an issue of it. He also has in complex about people being against him. Surely he does not expect to get all the votes in Canada. He should real- ize there are still level-headed

people.

I sincerely hope we shall hear more about the affairs of Can- ada and less personal remarks.

INCIDENTAL THOUGHTS

Sin—When we blame govern- ments of being wasteful. extra- and heedless of their cells. we are in truth blaming ourselves. After all. any political party is no better and no worse than the peoples that elected them to power. Ef- flclencyis one ofthe nicest words to be found in the English

fine: it thus: . compe- tent: able to get results. etc.

But how. you. can any government be efficient when the pie themselves are not efficient? Most of us aim to live in splendor. to dwell in stately mansions. to travel about in big shiny cars. most of them mort- gaged to the gas tank: all the while trying to convince our- selves that life flows on llke a beautiful song. whose melody lingers on and on.

Such irrational thinking and such I dizzy way of living has brought about much of the trou- ble we find in our social. politl- cIl Ind religion a life today. What we are actually saying is

. "ch future take care of ltzelf. In the meantime. let us

at. drink. merry and close our eyes to what goes on around in." Alumina this don't we i

FRANK MACARTHUR LIQUOR POSSIBILI'I'IES Sir;-—l have noticed a number

i of letters appearing recently in 1| the Public Forum column of ' your paper regarding the Liquor 5 question. I am in sympathy with -. those who are fearful of the pos-

sib‘lity of more outlets for the l I booze business.

It looks at times. as though 1 the battle against the liquor ln- ‘ . terests is comparable to trying ; to keep the tide out with a pitch i fork. But do not be discouraged. you people who have the welfare and the best. interests of this Province at heart. For He that is with you is greater. than he that is against you. Think it i over. God's Word — the Bible gives to us a list of a type of persons who shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. The list con- tains ten types. and the drunk- ard ls l l s t e d'as one of those types. ‘.Think it over, ponder it. Who is the person behind the booze business in all its different as- pects? Who is the arch enemy of God? Who is the arch enemy of our souls? Think it over! Yes; of course, it is that old serpent. the Devil and Satan. I am not unmlndful of the fact. that in past years reputable doctors ad- vocated a little brandy for aged people. a teaspoonful or two on retiring at night to stimulate the heart. That was using it strictly as a medlclne, and it would not make a drunkard of I person under those circumstances. We all know that certain amounts of poisons are administered to sick patients under the supervision of the family doctor and upon his orders.

Now. if intoxicating llquors were regarded in the same cate- gory. the booze business would be one of the lesser problems of our society. Think it over. you

fellow citizens w ' to have restraint on the booze bust. ness removed. Do you w a at to be condemned before God for your part in the dowanll of your fellowmen? Think lt over! in. Sir. etc. . W.D. JOHNSTON Montague. P.E.I.

MORE CONTROL NEEDED Sin—I thc been reading all the letters about liquor for I long while Ind I agree with the wrlfet from Alberton. I my that there is nothing evil about llq- not itself, it is how it is used. 1 av for I I . who lived in Charlottetown all I only I u moved to I,lI rgc city, he was a as you call them "fluke" but since he and his fImlly the lived in the big city, he hu never been drunk.

Dr. H.L. Trueman. a senior official of the Department of Agriculture here. is the m aln- spring of this " ced-the-Hun- g “ drive in Canada. His offic- ial title is Secretary of the Can- adian Freedom-from- Hunger- Week Committee.

On his travels in Asia. he has seen at first hand what it means to be a citizen of a have~not country.

The average Asian worker has a diet amounting to 1500 calories a day. This compares with our own average of 3,200 calories, and the British yardstick that an active worker will lose weight on a diet of less than 2.500 calor- ies ay. Further, the Asian Diet. like the African. is defle- ient in the foods which will build bones and strength. The Asiatic eats largey starch, and this diet inhibits growth and fails to sup- ply the needed strengthening foods in the formative years be- tween 2 and I

As for the living conditions. Dr. Tru‘eman tells me that he has sometimes had occasion to pass through a railway station or an airport at night. Around 3

m. the traveller has to pick his way carefully past workers dossed down on the platforms or anywhere under cover. These are men who have come in from the country in search of work, and have no home. no workers camp. no bunkhousr.

The average yearly cash in- come of agricultural workers in India and Pakistan, says Dr. Trueman, is less than the month- ly cheque to a Canadian Old Age pensmner.

The story from Kirkland Lake said that loggers had quit some camps in protest agalnst “rot- ten 1iv i n 3 conditions". They were asked to sleep on “pillow- less cots. with only worn un- washed grcy blankets for cover" —which is preferable to a bare hard platform. Some were fed on ham and eggs three times a day": for others. meals consist- ed of “beef and potatoes with bread and syrup"-—both diets pircferable to the Aslan's bowl, of r e.

That logging-camp picture is not typical of this lush land: but the contrast shows how grateful we should be for what we take for granted. Dr. Trueman believ- es that Ontario loggers normally eat more food in one day than an entire Asian family see In I whole week. -

This Freedom from H u n ger Week is th- mid-point In a world- wide five-year drive. Its. aid in self-help offers longterm lm. movements in nourishment for the "have not" countries. a n d this is preferable to the oneshot aid of food shipments. Canada's c'hlcf contribution. for which na- tional and local Councils of Wo- men are collecting funds. will be the sensible one of I food pro- cessing plant in India.

Demand For Wigs Provides Trouble, For Health People

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dolled THE BRITISH health service is having wig trouble. The world-wide demand for fashion wigs threatens to reduce the sup- ply of those needed for medical purposes. This fashion trend has led to In lnternatloml shortage in the supply of human hair and a marked rise In its cost. Two of the largest Engllsh wig-making firms are cancelling their con- tractz with the health service.

According to a letter in the Journal of the American Medl- cal Association, the ministry of health furnished more than 10,- 000 wigs last year to persons for whom I medical need was esta- blished. Natural baldness is not a valid reason. Most of the de- mand in Britain is among young women factory workers whose hair got caught in the machln- er'y. Each patient receive: two— one to be used while the other ‘1: being cleaned. The cost to the British health Iervlce ranges from $59 to $70. The patient is charged $7 for I full wig, or $14 for the pair.

A New York City physician found hlmself in a dilemma. e tried to revive his pet monkey by m o’ u t h-to-mouth resuscita- tion and learned later that the animal had to b e rculosis. He asked the American Thoracic so- ciety whether tuberculosis could be transmitted in this way. The answer was that the likelihood was small and the emergency circumstances he encountered usually overrides precau~ tions against this remote possi- bility.

This is understandable be- cause tuberculosis is transmitt~ ed by droplets expelled in cough' ing. sneezing. or talking. These particles are inhaled into the air sacs, establishing bcachheads for the micro-organisms.

Direct contact with the lips and mouth do not spread the in- fection unless there are scratch- es in the membranes in these areas. Tubercle bacilli can enter through the tonsils and intestin- al tract but the chances are re- mote while doing mouth-to- mouth resuscitation.

The society also made the sug~ gestion that all pct monkets be examined regularly for tubercu- losis. They are susceptible to the disease and transmit the organ- isms via the airborne route un- less the condition is detected early.

TO EACH HIS OWN

E.E. writes: Whenever I don't feel well I go to bed early and read for relaxation before fall- ing asleep. I was told it was bet- ter logo to bed and close t h e eyes and try to sleep. What is the correct thing to do? i

REPLY

Do what is best for you. Going to bed. closing the eyes. and fall~ ing a s l e e p immediately are ideal but few of us can “unlax” so rapidly. Others resort to read- ing or listening to music. This is not harmful and has the same ‘ effect as closing the eyes and trying to fall asleep. These methods are better than taking a sleeping pill.

POTENTIAL M.D. i

B.C. writes: I am interested in becoming a doctor and would appreciate information on how to go about it

REPLY Go to college and take the courses required for admission to a medical school. While in college. take the medical col- lege admissions test and make application to a medical school 12 to 16 months in advance of the beginning ot the school year. Then get on yo ur knees and pray you will be accepted. No SNORING CURE W.C. writes: Medically speak- ing, can anything be done for persons who snore excessively? Y

No. because a remedial cause seldom is found. If separate bed rooms are not available. the spouse should use ear muffs or

plugs. ELBOW BENDING HP. writes: Does beer make I sore elbow worse?

REPLY Yes. especially when it is bent 0 often. TODAY'S HEALTH HINT— Are your attic and basement litter free?

Deon Acheson’s Attack

By HIrold

Mo n

rrlIo CInIdlIn PreII Shff Writer

Dean Acheson once agaln has launched an attack on the Eu- ropean allies, this time concen- trItlng his fire on French Prea- ldent de GIuIle. describing hlI “sulcldal” nuclear policies as increasing the danger I world nuclear holocaust.

e ormer state secretary has no official status in the Kennedy government but his voice often seems to reflect the udminlstratlon's private views and the president occasionally has sought Acheson’s advice and sent him abroad on impor- tant missions.

Thus it may .be more than the reflections of a private citizen w en A c h e s o n ridicules de Gaulle's position among the world's nuclear giants and sug- gests he is less than a robust lerder and that his army is not to be trusted. ’

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO March 20. 1938

Work on the project of clean-

be commenced immediately, it

was decided at a meeting of the

A partial mswer may lie in Acheson'a own w — that while the main threat to the free world comes from Russia,

SEES URGENT OBJECTIVE

The multilateral nuclear force the United States proposes for the North Atlantic partners would seem to Indicate a US. desire to share its nuclear de- terrent with its friends over- seas. Perhaps a more urgent ob. jectlve is to deter these friends from creating independent nu- clar forces that might entan- gle the United States in a nu‘ clear war not of its own choos- ing. Acheson suggests he would not like to see this happen and also suggests the United States might not respond.

De Gaulle has raised the question of whether the United States would come to Europe‘s aid with nuclear weapons in a i Soviet~Europcan war which did not immediately endanger US. soil. Acheson says the United States would —- providing It had some say in how the nuclear war is initiated.

The policy pursued by do Gaulle, Acheson suggests in his speech, allocates the worst of worlds to the United States. By using his tiny nuclear force against 1tussle. de Gaulle could force the United States to on. gage in nuclear .war because it would be assigned the t?sk of defending Europe Igainst do Gaulle's “inevitable conse- quences” while being excluded from having a voice in how Eu- rope's defences are shaped.

This. says Acheson. might lead to Soviet - American mutual incineration and he would hid it difficult to see any US. gov- ernment “undertaking so un- promising a commitment."
