Is this what happened to Ilir. Elsi-nltouer itt his vcrltal encounters with his old wartime friend, Mnrsltzii Zhukov. when they were lmilt army commanders in Berlin? At a press conference in Washinr.;ton the Presi- dent recalled tlte many long discus- sions he had with Zhukov hlmut Dentocracy and ('omntunisin. and how "hard pill" he was to meet his friend's argument ”that their system appealed to the idealistic. and we completely to the materialistic."

Mr. Eisenhmver's inability to te- fute Zhukov was due. no doubt. to his inexperience in dialcctics-an art in which all Communist leaders are well trained. But it will be la- mentably easy to put a more damag- ing construction on his confession that he had had ”a very rough time trying to defend our position." Mr. Eisenhower speaks now as the leader of the Western democratic world. One cannot help wishing that he had kept this humiliating confession to himself. Or. better still, that the opportunity of arguing the issue in the first place had fallen to the defeated candidate in the president- ial election. Mr. Adlai Stevenson. Then. indeed. "the gauntlet in the cause of verity" might have been taken up to some purpose, and Mar- shal Zhukov would have found an opponent worthy of his steel!

Hope For South Africa

Reference was made in these columns a few days ago to the de- cision of Anglican Church author- ities in South Africa to advise their people to disregard the Govern- ment's regulation which forbids Ne- groes to attend church services in white areas. Since then further re- ports have been received which in- dicate that other Churches in the Union are prepared to take similar action.

Twenty-five members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy issued a statement in which they called the regulation "evil and un-Christian". The Presidcntpf the Methodist (ion- ference had this to say: "The Churches of South Africa have tried to avoid a head-on clash with the state. but the series of apartheid (segregationl laws have made the present clash inevitable." The Bapt- ist. I'nion adopted a resolution dc- ploring "social and economic injust- Ice and the breaking of solemn pledges given to non-whites.” The Congregational I'nion went on rec- ord as "sharing the sincere convic- tion that the Government's policy has no sanction in the New Testa- ment and is diametrically opposed to the teachings of Christ." Presby- terian officials said they had found upratheid ”morally indefensible", while the Christian (lnunril. a fed- notion of 23 Protestant bodies. de-

Lamprey Control

The lake trout. the chief source of commercial fishing on the Great Lakes, is. according to reports. fast approaching extinction

The fish are still taken in fairly large numbers in some areas; but each year the catch is getting small- er. Unless the deterioration is checked soon. according to Dr. Wil- liam Sproules, an official of the Federal Department of Fisheries, "commercial trout fishing in the Great Lakes will be finished by 1960".

The main cause of this depletion in an important fishery is the "Lamprey Eel" a vicious. blood- sucking fish which somehow got into the Great Lakes some years ago and has been playing havoc witlt the trout ever since. In 1951 the threat was so serious that the l.'nited States and Canada set up an International Commission for Lamprey Control. But, although the commision has spent more than 81 million a year on control meas- ures the lamprcys seem to be as numerous and as voracious as ever.

Ittto the fight has come a young zoology graduate from Mt-Gill Uni- VPl's'lf.V.AThP0d0lle MacDonald. who works with the Division of Lamprey ('ontrol, a section of the Quebec Department of Game and Fisher- ies. Mr. MacDonald is working in a laboratory at Lachine. near Mont- real. on a device which he hopes will control and eventually eliminate the underwater destroyers.

Curiously enough. while trout are losing the battle for survival. other species of Lake fish are on the increase. This is explained by the fact that the trout itself is a predator. Naturally, as its numbers decline the other fish have a better chance to keep on living. For some reason. the lamprey doesn't bother them much.

A Good Deed

1" 1944 I British paratrooper named Andy Milbourne had both hands blown off by German anti- tank fire. He was a member of the First Airborne Division wltich en- tered into combat with the 116th German Panzers.

Last week the former paratrooper was one of a group invited to West Germany to take part in celebra- tions of veterans of the'1l6th. Not- ing that he was using "hooks" in the place of the hands he had lost, the German veterans offered to pro- vide him with the latest model arti- ficial hands made in Germany. "He lost his hands through us," said a spokesman for the Panzers, "he will get them back through us. This will be an act of reparation to an in- dividual but it is meant as a symbol of our goodwill to all our former enemies."

will probably do more to heal the old wounds of conflict than all the diplomatic exchanges between Gov- ernments and all the undertakings embodied in treaties. "How far that little candle throws his light! So shines a good deed in a naughty world".

EDITORIAL NOTES

This year's Shakesperian Festi- val in Stratford is off to a good start. The attendance in the first two weeks was 4.300 more than last year's count in the same period. The total for the period was 30,700. it certainly proves that real interest in the dramatic arts has a place in Canadian culture.

The Moscow Radio told its listen- ers the other day that "the (Ieptrnl Committee of the Communist Party is not in the habit of taking petty revenge." This. being interpreted. probably means that Messrs. Molo- tov. Malenkov and Kaganovitch have been selected for attention at a more convenient date. Nothing "petty" about that.
