OTTAWA (CP) —- Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker confirmed in the Commons Wednesday that forces under the Canad - U.S. North American Air Defence Command have been ordered into “an increased state 'of readiness."
He described it as “the course of prudence, caution and of com- monsense” in the face of in- increased international tension 8 said there is no cause for public alarm.
Canada has nine air defence squadrons assigned to NORAD centred at Colorado Springs, Colo.
An announcement from NORAD headquarters Tuesday said ‘air de- fence in the United States and Canada was placed on a “univer- sal readiness” stat-us.
Mr. Diefeubaker, replying to a
question by G e o r g e McIlra-ith (L—Ottawa West), said it was a step Canada would havetaken if her ROAF defence squadrons had been under Canadian, rather than joint control. The Canadian chiefs of staff had been advised before the step was taken. He said that- in periods of in- ternational tension it is essential that military authorities, espe- cially those concerned with air de- fence, act “prudently” so that defensive and deterrent forces Would be ready if “grave cut-unl- ities” which were not anticipated should occur. ’ \. , MEANS MORE PLANES

U.S. WithdrawalDemanded/ As Reds Blast ‘Aggression'
MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet Union today threw the weight of its diplomatic reognition behind the new Iraq regime and at the same time demanded the United States cease its “armed aggres- sion” in, the Lebanon.
A foreign office spokesman told a press conference Premier Nik- ita Khrushchev had messaged the new Iraqi premier offering a resumption of diplomatic rela- tions broken off three years ago.
Accusing the United States of piracy and armed intervention “not only against the Lebanon but against other peace-loving nations of the'Middle East”, the Soviet statement warned that the Krem- lin reserved the right to take whatever action is necessary “to halt'a dangerous situation near our border." .
MOSCOW (Reuters) —,— Russia warned the United States Wednes- day to withdraw “at once” from Lebanon and said it could not “remain indiffereu "- to‘ a serious threat on its frontier.
In its first official statement on American military intervention in
the Middle East, Russia'urged
the United Nations to. take “ur- gent and decisive steps to termin-
“The Soviet government holds that the situation in the Middle East, created by open aggression on the part of the United States of America, supported by the other colonial powers, is alarm- ing and dangerous to world peace,” the statement continued.
“The Soviet government urges the government of the U.S.A.‘ to discontinue its armed intervention in the internal affairs of Arab countries and to withdraw “its troops from Lebanon at once.

clares that the Soviet Union can- not remain indifferent to events creating a grave menace in ‘an area adjoining its frontiers, and reserves the right to' take «the necessary measures dictated by the interestsof peace and secur- ity.”_ ’
At the same time, Russia ton mally recognized the new regime in Iraq. Recognition came in a telegram from Premier Nikita Khrushchev to the Iraqi rebel pre- mier, Brig-Gen. Abdel Karim Kassem. ‘

“As for the 'concern’ for Amer- ican citizens, one may be permit- ted to ask what standards of in ternational law allow foreign pow- ers to send their armed forces to the territory of other states for such purposes?‘ ‘

TORON‘TO -(CP)—-An illness she managed to keep (secret from all but her closest friends Tuesday night ended the life of Dr. Marion Hilliard, Canada’s best - known woman doctor.
The 56-year-old specialist died in Women’s College Hospital where she was chief of gynaecol- ogy and obstetrics for 10 years
She had been ill for several weeks with a lung ailment, sus-. pected to be cancer.
Dr. Hillia-rd’s name had be- come almost a household word among Canadian wives for her frank advice on sex, pregnancy and old age. Although she never married, her counsel in marital affairs won her wide acclaim.
‘ A year ago her buck, A Woman Doctor Looks at Love and Life, became a national best—seller and went into a second printing of 40,000 copies. .It was a compilao tion of magazine articles discuss- ing the medical and mental prob- lems of women. ' CEYLON TRIP

No Polio Cases Here This, Year
Dr. Todor Gencheff, chairman of the Provincial Chapter of the Canadian Foundation for Polio- myelitis, said yesterday that P. E. I. thus «far this year was com- pletely free from polio.

The most serious polio out- break in P.E.I.'s history occur- red in 1946 when 103 cases were diagnosed, he said, adding that the next highest record was set in 1954 when a total of 96 cases were treated. - ,
Whatever action the United .Na- tions pursues in the Middle East crisis, the road will be hedged by legal technicalities.
Under the UN charter any coun- try can take measures of self- defeuce if it feels itself endan- gered from outside. But the in-
Daaniger Seen . Of World War
ALLAl-IABAD, India (Reuters) Prime Minister Nehru said Wed~ nesday it outside powers inter- vene in the internal affairs of Iraq and Lebanon, “there is a great dang-er of world war.”
“Tension is increasing,” be ad- ded, vi“and nobody knew where it will en ."
Nehru, addressing a meeting of students, said:
r “Although we are not going to interfere in the affairs of Iraq and Lebanon, we. are greatly con- cerned over developments in those countries.
“No doubt these are their own affairs.
“You may call it a civil war. But if outside poivers intervene in these affairs, there ‘is a great danger of world war."
\
terbretation of any such action varies widely and in directpro- portion to the interests of the out- side countries involved.
Thus Russia has in effect ac-
cused the United States of com- mitting armed aggression through Tuesday’s landing of American troops in Lebanon. But less than two years ago Russia stood ac- cused by the U.S. and the rest of the free world for taking the same action—but involving blood~ shed and brutalitics—during the Hungarian revolt. ’ The UN charter clearly states that the internal affairs of any country are not subject to inter- vention by the world organization as a‘ whole. But the fine print is there because of the action of in- terested big powers in local situa- tions which break out, as they have from time to time {since the UN’s inception in 1945. '
This legalistic approach has re- sulted in the current off-base de- bate in- the UN on the Middle East. Iraqis the country most directly involved. yet the del- egates of the Soviet Union on one side and Britain and the U.S. on the other have concentrated on Lebanon, where a sporadic revolt has been going on for weeks.
Lebanon was chosen by the \U.S. for the Middle East troop
landing because the recognized government there asked Washing- ton for help under the Eisenhower doctrine to combat what it called Communist aggression. r , ‘ The legal status of this, landing would seem clear. but Russia, the acknow1ed headquarters of world commu am, contends that. the Lebanon rising is a revolt of local masses without any such. ideological implications. ' That goes too far for the Bus-e sian attitude on the Iraq over- throw which shocked .the world

Wealth has in- creased greatly in a short time in that part of the world. Most of the educational and similar services must necessarily be sup- plied from Egypt. The money which makes the demand effec- tive, on the other hand, comes from the western nations.
He noted that the standard 'of living has been raised notably in the Bahrein Islands in the Per- sian Gulf and in Saudi Arabia. Other areas have also felt the effect of the new wealth.
