?-£9‘ '?i"_"’#” I :_. Into Another Wrangle I Health Minister Judy Lalllarsli has talked herself into hot water again. She recently discussed the ad- vantages of the Canada Pension I’lan before a group of Manitoba farmers, and emphasized, among other things, that while insurance and trust companies can go bank- irupt, governments must always fill‘ fill their obligations. She has been replied to by Mr. 12.1‘. Holmes. presi- dent of the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association, who complains that her statement, in its context. was a highly irresponsible one- ’ “The fact is." says Mr. Holmes. tthat. the life insurance companies have conducted their affairs so soundly that no policy holder in 11 Canadian life insurance company has ever lost a dollar through non- payment of the amount guaranteed under his policy at death or on ma- turity of the contract since the first Canadian company was established more than one hundred years 38'0- Canadians insured with companies from other countries doing business in Canada have. for more than 75 years. been equally well served." I Doubtless it was not the intention of Miss LaMarsh to impugn the integrity of the insurance companies. But as a saleswoman for the nation- in plan she has blundered repeatedly in her attitude toward these organ- izations. As the Ottawa Journal apt- Iy expresses it. she has come to re- gard them as competitors instead of taxpayers. Their expert criticism of the Government plan should have been welcomed from the start. In- pjtead. she has given the impression that the Government is so pleased with its own plan that it has small concern with the private pension plans in which hundreds of thous- ands of Canadians have invested-

-. What should have been minister- ial consultation with reputable Can- adian insurance and trust companies has turned into a quarrel. Prime Minister Pearson and his steadier colleagues have done their best to avoid this result, but Miss LaMarsh Tgeepa rocking the boat.

Defense And Savings While conceding that the Depart- ment of National Defense presents a field in which important savings can be made in the interests of the taxpayers, the Montreal Gazette questions whether Defense Minister llellyer is going about his proposed fetrenchments in the right way. In view of the Glassco Commission re- port, it suggests, this remains a very debatable question. _; The report on govemment man- jgeiment pointed out the man y Qrays in which big savings might be made in national defense without curtailing the defense effort. The Giaaaco Commissioners drew atten- tlion to the savings that might be made by adopting more efficient methods of internal administration. They stressed that the savings ihat could be effected in these ways would be very substantial, and that ‘-‘far too little has so far been done llo secure the possible benefits." And l*he Commissioners were at no time iiuggeeting that the scale of Can- ida's defense effort or commit» iients should or need he in any way reduced. Such a matter was. in my case, outside the scope of their hmtigauon. ‘The impressive fact is that if all ,he reforms to method advocated by Ihe Glaeaco Commieeion were taken A ogetzher they would amount to eav- bgaindefenaeatleeataegreataa

Mr. Hellcat propoeea to &

-s

clear how far he means no out down the size of defense operations and how far he means to cut out their

internal inefficiency. A reduction in‘

the scale of operations without an improvement in internal efficiency. would leave the remaining defense establishment with many of the wasteful methods that the Glassco Commission disclosed and condemn- ed.

Still Going On

Despite the years that have pass- ed and the changes that have taken place since World War Two, the wheels of justice are still moving in the trial of Nazi war criminals. One would imagine that these trials would be tapering off by now, but actually the biggest event of the kind to be held in West Germany is scheduled to com e up for hear- ing at Frankfort, five days be- fore Christmas. Twenty-three men of the staff of Auschwitz, the most infamous of Nazi extermination camps. will stand accused there of mass murder or complicity in mass murder. All but one were Nazi SS men, and they include doctors, den- tists and chemists.

An estimated three to four mil- lion men, women and children from 18 countries perished at Auschwitz during the Hitler period. Most of the victims were Jews. The camp lay 180 miles south of Warsaw, in Poland. Its last commandant. Rich- ard Baer. was to have been chief ac- cused at, the coming trial, but he died last June while being held in pretrial detention.

Why the length of time in round- ing up the suspects and bringing them to book? The very extent of their alleged crimes has tended to make the work of the pI‘osecutoI‘s difficult. About 1,300 people, most of them camp survivors, were ques- tioned by the West German justice authorities during the lengthy pre- trial investigations. Some 250 wit- nesses from 15 countries are ex- pected to give evidence during the trial. which itself will last several months.

The authorities are still conduct- ing prelimlna ry investigations against. 15 other people who belonged to the Auschwitz camp staff and a separate trial is likely to be held later. Two other major trials were completed earlier this year. at which various prison terms were handed out to a number of former Nazis ac- cused of complicity in the mass murder oi‘ Jews in the Minsk area and at the concentration camp near Lodz. ‘

Watching Each Load

Now it's Christmas trees that are in danger of becoming entangled in the trade regulations with ou 1' American neighbors. Customs offic- ials along the Canadian border have been alerted by the U.S. Customs Bureau to prevent irregular entry of this duty-free commodity. (‘us- toms service officers in Boston, New York, and Canadian border points have been directed to confirm the purchases and selling destination of each load of Canadian trees being sold in the United States. _

Christmas trees and the trans- porting vehicles are free of duty, provided delivery is made to a designated buyer with no intermedi- ate sales. But the Maine Christmas Tree Association. through a Maine congressional delegation, has com- plained that last year Canadian truckers sold trees to other than designated conslgnees at below normal market prices. A sharp eye is being kept to prevent the practice this year.

It will be to the interests of Canadian shippers to see that the regulations are strictly complied with. The Christmas tree trade is a profitable one for several Canadian provinces, and we don’t want pro- tectionists across the line using vio- lations of the law as an excuse for pressing for dumping duties, or something of that sort.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Among the m a n y objections raised to Mr. Peter Newman's con- troversial book "A Renegade in POWBF" We Rot the most kick out of this one. Hon. Walter Dinsdale, Con- servative member for Brandon- Sourie, said he objected to Mr. New- man deacribing him as a man who played second trumpet in :1 Salvation Army band. “That isn't true," said Mr. Dinsdale. "I play solo trumpet and I'm proud of it." .

CIVIL DEFENSE PROGRAM

Gibeon, northwest of Jerusa- lem in Jordan. set a great store by self- protection. The “Holy Land Today" map notes. "This' town poured most of its funds in- to a civil- defense system enabl- ing it lo withstand sicee indefin-5 itely." Excavations show that: the city was surrounded by a massive double wall. with a lun-I ncl leading to a permanent wat-: er supply. .

Gall bladder disease is rare in infants. uncommon chil- dren and adolescents. and is noted occasionally in young male adults and unmarried women. It is most prevalent among women who have had children. We do not know whe- their pregnancy has anything to do with " st women marry and rear a family and izall bladder involvement may be coincident .

By the age 75, one In every three persons will have gall stones. The majority never are bothered except for an oc- casional attack of indigestion which often is blamed on some- thing they ate. Gallstones a n d infection of the gall bladder go together like ham and eggs.

Does the liver suffer when this combination exists? Some au- thorities believe this organ is damaged. varying from mild derangement. to complete liver failure. Ordinary liver to s t I seldom show evidence of ear- ious damage. indicating the injury is too slight to be recog- nized this way.

This is Important when the subject of surgery is considered. Those who postpone the opera- tion run the risk of developing a liver complication. especially when the infected gall bladder is causing more than average discomfort.

Next week‘; NATO ministerial meeting In Paris may mark the first clash between the views of President Johnson and Presl- dent de Gaulle although neither will be at the meeting.

The possibility is being scouted in the light of the French president’: known dis- pleasure with NATO strategy an evolved under United States leadership.

The key question goes back to the doctrine of massive re- taliation that was first enunci- ated by John Foster Dulles but now has been abandondd by the U.S.—only to be taken up by France. -

Differences have been thrown into relief by the major study of NATO resources and require- ments that was ordered when the alliance foreign ministers held their‘ last meeting in Ot- tawa in May.

LONG TERM PLAN

The study is being conducted by a defence planning group in Paris. representing all 15 mem- bers. In conjunction with NA'l‘0‘a s t a n d I n i: military group in Washington. It is a long-term planning exercise.

Now the French are saying NATO must first agree on strategy-how It would react to various types of attack by the

Soviet Union — re it can know what its requirements are.

Gen. Pierre Billolte, a Gaul- list deputy. hinted at a meeting of NATO parliamentarians Nov. 7 that the forthcoming confer- ence of foreign ministers could
