Summit Fumblings

Was there eve-r such axpreposter- . ous prelude to an important meeting of statesmen or diplomats as that which is taking place at the present time? First, Premier: Khrushchev suggested a summit meeting in Geneva. President Eisenhower raised

. objections, and Prime Minister Mac-

millan suggested instead a meeting in New York under the auspices of the UN. Security Council. This was on a Thursday or Friday. “All right,” Mr. Khrushchev replied, “I’m willing; let’s make it for next Monday.”

This alacrity caught the Western leaders off base, as doubtless it was intendedu to do. President Eisen- hower at once began to put impedi- ments in the way, and he is still doing so. The fact of the matter is he does not want a summit meeting at this time, in New York or anywhere else. Mr. Macmillan, apparently, does want one; but it is clear that he suspects Khrushchev of planning something unpleasant, as no doubt The is. The Soviet leader'loudly accuses both the US. and Britain of stalling on the summit talks, though in Britain’s case it is a matter of insuring that the talks will yield something more . conducive to peace than propaganda;

Meanwhile, up speaks General de Gaulle to say that Mr. Khrushchev’s original idea—a meeting in Geneva—- was the wiser course. He may—on the

other hand he may not—go to New

York if the meeting is .held there. In ' effect he has said he will let them know the day the meeting begins or perhaps the day after. In any case, he wo‘n't stay any longer than three ' days. Imagine. ,a. sumtnit , meeting getting through its work, in three days! It will take t e participants that long to examine one another’s good faith and agree on what should be discussed. The Whole affair with its theatrical , (ramifications. would be a Comedy of Errors at which we ,, could all laugh hearfilyfiét issue; V at stake were not so serious , lid the?

,most serious part of it allis the

fumbling through lack of unity among the Western powers. ‘ ’ As the Ottawa Journal remarks; '

“It is an anxious enough experience for us all now to see this ‘ summit climb being negotiated; the stumbling and shouting, the tangling of ropes, the quite opposing reasons being given for the. climb, .. the reckless wielding of axes to make toe-holds. Of the greatest'ctmcern to those of us at

K the base is the airof confusion about i

the enterprise, the lack of concentra- tion on the essentials; the ascent seems to be overborne with questions of who, what, where, why. ‘

“Of still greater anxiety, however, will be the descent. /Will they come down the same path or separately? Will some be shoved down? Will théy bring back any agreed chart of what they saw from that great height? And if they agree on what they saw, will they have agreed on what they- the“ leaders of the people of the world—should do about it?”

And the Journal adds this solemn warning, which is of first and fore- most concern: “To climb the summit just because it is there, as a stunt or a circus feat, is to cheapen and weak- en and make tawdry what should rather be a most cautious and prayer- ful venture. It is for the peace of the world that we search, and at a time when it must be found. All of us— people and leaders—\should write this large in our hearts and minds at this time.” '

‘ Don't Like Collectives , = Hungary, its population 60 per. cent farmers, now seems to be going the way of Yugoslavia and Poland in making concessions to private enter- prise in agriculture. - , Those who fought the Soviets in the fall of 1956 were mostly city'peo- ple, students and industrial workers. Farmers helped out with food and busied themselves disbanding their éollectives, but apparently they took little active part in the fighting. Dur- ing the uprising, Communist Premier Imre Nagy began a go-easy policy toward the farmers His successors Nagy a traitor. But they show no signs of haste in reversing. his farm policy.

Some Hungarians say the Soviets

would have raised a full-blown peas- ant rebellion if they tried to hold the collective farms together by force, to restore the policy of forced crop de- liveries, or prevent peasants from buying and selling .land. Such meas- ' ures are “Stalinist”.

Like most European farmers, Hungarian peasants dislike collec- tives. The governmenttried to assure them they really own their land col- lectively and can make more by pool- ing their labor and resources. But they prefer to work their own fields—and they showed their senti- ments in 1956 when two-thirds of the collectives collapsed during the revolt. The government now says some of these were dissolved by force and

I about half those which collapsed have been restored. v '

Welcome News

The announcement that Miss Marian Anderson, noted Negro sing- er, will be a member of the United States’ delegation to the next ses- sionrof the UN. General Assembly is welcome news. Indeed, it wOuld be difficult to think of anything more pleasing done by the United

time. ,

Miss Anderson is an outstanding artist in her field and, from all re- ports, a woman of grace and charm. Her travels in Asia, and Africa last year proved her to be a goodwill ambassador of the United States and, conversely, a capable interpre- ter to Americans of the hopes and aspirations of non-white. races in many lands. As one of the truly great singers of her generation, she speaks the common language of humanity and speaks it well and

[ eloquently. \ ’ But it is because of her racial '

background that the news of, Miss Anderson’s appointment is espetial-

convincing the sceptics that. despite the racial tensions in the United States and periodical demonstra- tions of stupidity in dealing With local problems as they arise, in the federal field at least there is no discrimination against Negroes. This is very, very important in these

Last year the Canadian Govern- ment brought credit to itself and ‘to the Canadian people by naming Douglas Jung, the only M.P. of Chinese; ancestry, to our U.N. dele- gation?

EDITORIAL NOTES

Bell Island, Nfld. has discovered a .new tax-raising formula. All vehicles must carry ’ unicipal ‘lic- ense plates". The fee for cars is $2.00, for commercial vehicles $5.00. We hasten to say that we are not re- commending the practice to any other Municipal Council.

‘ ' ‘ 1 President Eisenhower‘says that the United States does not intend .tobe forced into the role of,“defen- dant” at any emergency summit meeting. That is exactly what the Soviet leader has in mind. Obvious- ly, before the meeting takes place: one or the other will have to revise his thinking. , Q Q t This year’s tobacco crop in Nova Scotia is reported to be “very success- ful”, even better than that in On- tario—though, of course, much smaller. Tobacco growing is :3. new business in Nova Scotia. In view of its apparent success, is there any reason why the plant could' not be grown on this Island? From all re- ports, it is a profitable phase of agriculture. , - Q Q G I A memorial to ' Msgr. Ronald Knox, noted Roman Catholic scholar and writer, is to be established at Trinity College, ,‘ Oxford, by the endowing of a‘ scholarship nected with Biblical 01‘ classical studies. Msgr. Kno'x, who died in 1947. was closely conneéted with Trinity College for many years. The memorial will commemorate his

der inter-denominational sponsorship. Among the original sponsors are I Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, the Earl of Norfolk—-—Britain’s Pre- mier Earl and a Roman Catholic—the Earl of Oxford and Asquith, author Evelyn Waugh, the Anglican Dean of Windsor who is domestic chaplain to Queen Elizabeth, and C. S. Lewis, prominent Anglican writer philosopher.

' HOME THOUGHTS rnoiv ABROAD

.. Sin—A letter in the Forum en— titled ~"Friendshlp Days” made > me feel that I should like to add 'my two-cents worth to the writ- er’s sentiments. We, who are of two countries and feel we under- stand both—Canada and the U. S. A.——a»rc sorely grieved re the seemingly mounting friction be- tween countries whlcli'in other days had such fine» relations. When I tell my friends about the _ resentment of Canadians toward their American cousins they can ,scarcely believe it. They do not read Canadian pupens, or editor- ials as does yours trulyfi,What- ever grievances—real or imag- med—Canadians may have re trade relations, etc.,J can assure you that. the, very great majority of Americans have naught but high'reglard and afifection for their Northern neighbors.

Months ago his the Forum there were twp letters. both very extreme. One, as I recall. urged that there should be no construc-

con- ‘

life and activities and it will be un- ‘

and ~

tive criticism re Americans be- cause so many Canadians h ad left their native Province and em citizens of the U. S. A. The other missive was just as ex- treme, that the Americans were not to be trusted, in fact were bad actors, and like Hengist and Horsa would attack their cousins. Both letters, or the ideas, I thought were terribly prejudiced and ridiculous.

True, there are probablymore former Canadians with their des- cendents in the U. S. A. than there are" in P. E. I. today, yet that is not sufficient reason for not pointing out differences be- tween the neighboring countries. Even families disagree—if they think at all—Jbut sensible adults can resolue their differences and 1‘ they can agree to differ.

Oh, to be in “The Garden of the Gulf” now that July and summer is here! I am sure the Million Dol- lar Farm is at its best, and thou- sands of folk from other places l are basking in the sunshine and peace of that dear little Isle. A ninety - one year lady with whom I chatted briefly via phone—yes- terday was extoling the Canadi- ans for their courtesy, leindliness and friendliness to her grand» , daughter and her friends who had been in Canada on :. camp- ing trip and were then in Maine on their way South are they re— turned to our sometimes sunny California. We have been having such foggy mornings as is often the case in July and August, and always happens when relatives from other locales visit us here I as in the case last week when ; ‘t‘he niece who travelled with me to, or from the “Island, was our guest. She still talks much of the Island’s beauty and would like to return with her family on a visit.

Emerson says, we see good in others in proportion to the good in ourselves, and that holds true of evil also. I have often thought [that is why President Eisenhow- er, in not being a politician, is not looking for anything crook- ed or underhanded in others be- cause he is so upright himself. and does not expect evil of oth- ers. I admire the President’s character very much. He was the only President who a sked God’s guidance ere he delivered his inauguration speech. I feel. whatever mistakes he’s made, and he would be the first to ad- mit them, he is not carrying on in his strength alone. I loved Roosevelt for his humanitarian ism and kindliness, bl' I respect President Eisenhower for differ- ent reasons. I do not like

IIAS LIMITATIONS

All Ithis‘ls significant and en- couraging. It should be kept in mind, however, that the program has its limitations and its pit- falls. These have been best sum- marized in a recent Chicago talk by Kenneth Holland, president of the Instltute of International Ed- ucation. .

Holland pointed out that, ex- cept tn the eased the university students, the Soviets limit visits of Americans to one to four weeks, They insist generally on exchange of groups rather than of individuals, which restricts “r e :11 contact and mingling.” Tlhey- limit travel of foreigners much more strictly than the Unit-, ed "Statesdoes. Because the en- tire Russian Iprogrum ls govern- ment sponsored and financed, the government exercises the closest control over citilzeus taking part. In the Uni-ted States, the rela- tions must be largely carded on by private organizations and funds. '

Another important limitation on the program is the Kremlin in- sisteuce on the night 'to censor any exchange of information. RAISES DOUBT

Holland ralsed a doubt about Russian sincerity in wanting a wide open exchange program. He speculated that “present willing mess" Ilior a limited program re- sulted from a desire to rehabili- tate damaged national prestige among world intellectuals result— ing loom, suppression of the Hun- ganian revolution, plus a desire to learn about production of bon- sumer goods in the west.

‘Iltical conflicts between the two Couiitries," Holland declared. “Russians and Americans will have an opportunity to‘ know each other’s strengths as well as weak- nesses. Both sides will have more preparative about the advaiices of which both countries are cap- able, the future conditions under which we may live together.

“Perhaps some of the misund- erstandingsthe tensions, the sus- picions that help to, create our political conducts will be settled. We cannot be sure of success— that depends on the Communist leaders—but neither can we turn away from an attempt whose on— ly other alternative may be a war of total destruction.”

What To Do For Shock Victims

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. SELDOM does a person feel so completely helpless as w h e n he is unable to aid an injured person, especially when the we- tim is a member of his family. Now treating injuries is a Job for a trained physician, not for a layman. But, in an emergency, you should know what to do. . I‘m not going to conduct a first aid course for you here in this newspaper, although if I had my way just about everyone would be thoroughly indoctrinatetd in what to do in cases of emergen- ciezs. TREATING SHOCK I do think all of you should know something about treating shock. Shock, you see, is present in all serious injuries due to ac- cidents."While it is severe in some cases, it is barely noticeable in othens, but it is there just the same. I, _ This is a condition in which the normal body activities are in. a depressed state. As with most in.

' juries and illnesses, shock is eas-

ier to"remvedy at the beginning than after it has been allowed to get worsen

now To RECOGNIZE

You can recognize shock by these symptoms:

The skin will be pale, cold and . .clammy; the eyes will be vacant the pulse is likely to be rapid

and weak, all sensibilities willbe listless and dull, breathing pro- bably will be shallow and Hagu- lar, and there may be nausea and vomiting. ,

Generally these symptoms are an'indication that the brain and heart are not getting , enough blood. So encourage the blood flow by keeping the victim lying flat and by coverng him to keep him warm. Do not, however, over- heat him. And don‘t use hot wa ,ter bags or heated stones.

In case he' is lying on a cold, wet surface, try to wouk some newspapers or a blanket under him. But, remember, disturb him as little as possible.

WHAT TO GIVE

Never try to give an unicorn scious person anything to drink. Even if he is conscious, it’s best not 'to give him anything if med— ical help is expected within a short time. llf it is not, you can give him coffee or tea, as hot as can be taken,- if he desires it. Give it by the spoonful and don’t I give him more than a cupful at 'a time.
