"last years revolt in HUHBBIW".

said U. S. Vice-President Nixon in a

recent speech, ”marked the be- ginning of an internal revolt that ultimately will swcvll away the

Communist empire". in develoPl"lZ this theme of the power of freedom versus the weakness of totalitarian- ism, Mr. Nixon went on to say: ”The world-wide tfonnnunist structure cannot stand the secret weapon of freedom. The leaders of the Krem- lin know that their armies are not reliable. They realize that unrest and dissension are barely hidden in their colleges and universities. They are aware of grumblings and doubts in the ranks of the Communist Party itself. And they know that these pressures are mounting until some dtiy there will be decisive revolt at the very centre of the Communist -empire. When that day comes the entire rotten structure will collapse of its own weight".

How much of this cheerful pre- diction was based on actual know- ledge of what is going on in places behind the Iron Curtain and how much of it belongs within the cate- gory of wishful thinking are ques- tions for which probably there is no definite answer. It is safe to say that Mr. Nixon himself, if pressed, would find it impossible to saY Which is which. But isn't this habit of bringing the Hungarian revolt into sterebtyped discussions on freedom, such as are indulged in almost daily by some official high up in the United States' political hierarchy, getting to be a little tiresome? In- deed, to the participants in the brief revolt it must be positively nauseous.

Freedom, which for a few days

last fall seemed to be making a comeback in Hungary, was killed by Soviet power for the simple reason that the free world forfeited an ex- cellent opportunity to defend it. Another opportunity, at such little risk, may never come. And why should anyone assume that those Russians in whose souls there still remain a longing for freedom will take the risk of defying the might of guns and bayonets, tanks and bombs, when they recall what happened to the Hungarians' cry for help?

Government Without MP5

The Winnipeg Free Press takes

the CBC to task for introducing

Messrs. St. Laurent, Diefenbaker,

Coldwell, Low and other leading political figures as MPs. "The CBC,"

says our Winnipeg contemporary,

"should know a bit more about the institutions of the country it is sup- posed tp help to bind together at the taxpayers' expense. These gentle- men were members of Canada's 22nd Parliament. But that Parliament was dissolved on April 12. Since that date they have been no more MP: than have any of their listeners. They ark simply candidates for the 23rd Parliament, on exactly the tame footing as the other candi- dates. In giving them the appear- ui! of I different status, the CBC - hhetothcprlnciplesofourdemo- gulls government in which in men equal on polling day."

The gemcsl'elu:tion would proceed as scheduled. subject of course to the delays and hazards an emergency might create; and in due course a new Parliament would pass judg- men on what the Government had done. As the Ottawa Journal points out, however, in this atomic age the emergency or war might lead to changes so shattering that even Parliament would not be able 10 function in traditional form.

The Sooner The Better

Premier Johannei Strygdom of South Africa is quoted as saying "South Africa is soon going to stop singing tGod Save The Queen”. The sooner the better-for the Queen's dignity, that is.

The fact is that u'nder Stryg- dom's government South .Africa's membership in the Commonwealth is a source of weakness to the assoc- iation and her nominal connection with the Crown an affront to the principles of freedom and justice which the Crown symbolizes. The policy of apartheid is in itself had enough. It goes against everytliing that is sacred in British law and tradition. But the South African Government is not content with segregating the races. It goes fur- ther and denies the coloured popula- tion every elemental lfuman right and leaves them nothing to look for- ward to but abject slavery. If they were in chains deep in a dungeon they would be little worse off than ;ti-it-y are. -

There are, of course, great num- bers of white people in South Africa who cry out against this policy of degradhtion and cruelty. Many of them, indeed, are defying the law which denies human beings any measure of freedom simply because of the pigment of their skin. But, for the moment, they are in a min- ority. Some day, it may be, they will be able to bring enough in- fluence to bear on the society around them to free it of its present scourge. If and when that day comes per- haps 'God Save The Queen' will be restored to a place of honour and dignity. Meanwhile. it is better left unsung.

As the election campaign pro- ceed: it will become increasingly apparent poliucsl owners of high calibre are rare in Canada. Many may be competent but low are elo- quenL

Yet Canada in the past has pro- duced some comparable to the best of any nation. This was true in the Confederation era and has been true, until fairly recently, since.

There were Sir .lohn A. Mscdon- ald. with his brilliant wit and ro- bust. humor; Sir Wilfrid Laurier with his silver hair and tongue; Edward Blake with his resounding phrases. And. of course. there was D'Arcy McGee. with the poetic charm of the Irish and the vision of a prophet.

In another generation there was Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen who for precise language. sheer logic and debating skill was without pcer. There was Rt. Hon. R. 13: Bennett with his prodigious peroratlons.

There was Michael Clark (Red Michaell. a private member from Red Deer whose eloquence was superb.

There were others. the dignified Hon. Hugh Guthrie of Guelph; lion. H. H. Stevens. the debster of the bull-dog breed. and the smooth- tongued Hon. R. J. Manlon. Later there was Hon. Angus L. Mscdon- ald. with the sonorous sing-song sway of voice which betrayed his Gaelic ancestry. And Hon. J. L. Rnlsfon. with his keen legal mind and speech.

Exploring Ocean Trench

By J. C. Canadian Press.

A team led by s Canadian-train ed scientist is beginning to reap s team led by a Canadian trained so i t is beginning to reap a rich harvest from the unknown ocean depths of Cook Strait. New Zesland.

Here in a great. ocean trench between the two 'slsnds of New Zeslsnd is on of the Hciicst fields for deep sea research.

Led by L. R. Richardson. pro- fessor of soology at Victoria Uni- versity College and formerly of M1.-Glll. researchers have patiently been seeking techniques for bring- lng to the surface the weird cre- turcs and sen monsters which lurk in the Inky recesses of the ocean trench.

Now at In: they are getting their reward.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT

"For 12 years we have been try- ing to open the door into the mys- teries of Cook Strait." Richardson. says. "That door now is open."

Traps. nets and trswls were lost in the course of the search for reliable methods. but now equip- ment and techniques have been de- viud suited to the peculiarities of the region. with its rough sen. strong tides and violent rips.

Richardson says: ."Cook Strait is most worthy of study because it is here mm the northern and

southern marine fauna have I common meeting ground in 400 to 500 fothoms." l Already some no spcclas new to New Zeslsnd. and some never known anywhere before. have been found. But new discoveries are

brought to the surface every time the traps or trswls an lowered. MULTI-COLORED

The latest haul of marine curios- ities was also one of the richest, Jet Black, and lurid shades of red and purple. the creatures captured were like something from A night- mare. ..

For the first time the research team was nble to tow its big hots -12 feet in diameter coll-lhlpod trswls-st speeds of up to time knots in spite of the great weight of llneldescendlng to depths of more than 3.000 feet.

Even then the nets were not kw- ercd to near the greatest deptali in the region which descends to some 6.000 feet about 12 to 15 miles south of Cape Pslllsor. FANTASTIC FISH

Among the rare specimens was n blood red prawn. a rarity any- whoro in the world and-perhaps the biggest of its kind ever caught; an svocotatinn. or snipe ccl. with A strange beak like a snipe opening out at the (lip like a twisted clothes peg: a fish with n bsrbel or fishing line beneath its lip made of transparent nylon-like material and lit by and bulb of phosphorescence q its tip.

There was also a fantastic idio- csnthus. n ghastly creature with lunged teeth and reptilian laws which open wide enough to enable it to swallow fish bulkier and longer than its own length of 13 inches. The specimen L-audit was one of the largest period speci- men ever found.
