A Dangerous Issue Now that we are in for another federal election campaign, let us hope that the controversial issues will be con fined, a: tnuch as possible,

to matters of domestic concern. Whatever grounds for resentment there may be at United States inter- vention in the nuclear arms issue, political agitation on this score would be of service only to our mut- ual enemies. Washington has apolo- gized for the tone of the statement released by its state department, and it would be wise on our part to let it go at that.

As the Montreal Gazette re- marks, there is undoubtedly an is- sue to be exploited here. if any party chooses to resort to it. But every political leader has to re- member that history is not only a record but a judge. He will have to weigh carefully the consequences of using such an appeal, and of the anti-American feeling, positive and latent, that could be aroused to frenzy thereby.

There are times when it is fitting to speak plainly between friends, when one friend makes mistakes and feelings get ruffled. But this plain speaking would be quite differen‘.‘ than seeking in the exploitation of differences the means of gaining temporary political advantage. This would leave wounds that could nev- er be healed except by scars. It would turn an appeal to Canadian self-assertion into a campaign of hate and spite.

As for the views of Canadian party leaders on the merits of nu- clear defense, they seem to be as diverse as their views on other mat- ters of public concern. In this re— gard they reflect the feeling among the electors generally. As one mili- tary commentator has observed, we simply do not know enough to un- derstand whether a brigade group, an air division and a convoy-sub». marine-killer naval assignment are the best roles for Canada in NATO at this stage in defense planning, and whether warning systems, in- terceptors and Bomarcs are the best for us on this continent. In some ways they are already obsolete. It. will require a much deeper public knowledge of the facts before a pro- per national concensus on these tech- nical issues really can be expected.

We cannot hope to acquire such knowledge—much less profit by it— in the heat of an election campaign.

Challenge To Education Perhaps the most provocative speech made at the Second Cana- dian Conference on Education in Montreal last March was that of President Claude Bissell of the Uni-

versity of Toronto. now published

no part of the report on the con- ference by the University of Toronto Press and les Presses de l’llniver— site Laval. Contrary to general opin- ion, President Bissell sees the great emphasis in higher education in the future not on the physical and soc- ial sciences only, but on the liberal arts, and he makes some arresting points in this connection. Education, he maintains, has been looked upon as “the moral equivalent of work during youth and nrly manhood, largely justified in terms of its preparation for the real life of Work to follow. Leisure has been a eort of lotus land, mercifully free'of the twin curses of work and education." But. with the reduction In the tyranny of work and the con- eequent extension of leisure time, “the old lotus land threatens to turn into a place of infinite longing

and agonizing boredom. Education now seems less austere, less separ- able from other activities; the boun- daries between education, Work, and entertainment are no longer apparent, indeed, they often dis— appear altogether." -

Sevoral consequences result from this. For one thing, the period dur- ing which students stay at school has been lengthened, and will con- tinue to lengthen. Also, educational institutions are increasingly faced with a new urgency—“the task of preparing young men and women for the exacting rigors of leisure.” It is the latter development especi- ally that Dr. Bissell sees as being responsible for “more and more emphasis upon general liberal stud- ies." This does not mean that educ- ation for a specific technical job will disappear. “But i think we must recognixe the fact that this will always be a perilous undertaking, in a world where the very Job for which one is being trained may vanish before one has completed one’s training.”

This eventuality he sees as giv- ing rise to other problems. “Does the present demand for increased vocational and technical training in the schools come 20 years too late? Should not such training now be associated with industry, which is flexible and pragmatic, rather than with a school system that is not gearned to rapid change?”

Dr. Bissell regards education not as an overhead cost but rather a capital investment. The educated man. he states, “is the only person who is immune to the erosions of automation.” What a nation spends on education, therefore. provided it is well spent, can produce some of its most profitable returns. And the one great impediment he sees in the way of furthering both the liberal arts and professional education that he advocates is the burden of arma- ments made necessary by the kind of world in which we live.

“If the suffocating burden of armament is ever reduced or elimin- ated. education may well become the primary concern of the federal, as it is now of the provincial. gov- ernment." Higher education already is, of course. a considerable concern of the federal government; but Dr. Bissell sees further possibilities of federal support if more federal funds were available.

Geneva Conference The political crisis at Ottawa

has crowded other news into the background. but we shouldn’t for- get that a United Nations confer- ence opened at Geneva this week and that it is concerned with one of the foremost questions of our century—namely, how to focus the powers of natural science on the backward countries of the world. This unprecedented meeting of 2,000 experts front 80 countries could, it is said, he a giant step down the long road to its attainment.

But there are big “ifs” in the way. According to a recent survey of the (American) National Academy of Sciences, the present 2 per cent per year growth of World popula- tion is incompatible with even the most optimistic estimates of what scientists could do to raise living standards. Cutting this rate in half over the next few decades would do much to strengthen the scientists' hands. But there is little likelihood that this goal will be achieved.

The academy notes, too, that the social and cultural factors af- fecting use of new knowledge have been neglected. Spreading the bene- fits of modern science must be done at the ground level—among the workers, farmers and villagers who ultimately must put the knowledge to use.

What is most needed, it is aug. gested, is a new science of how to m a r s h al physical, biological, and social processes to conserve resour- ces even while exploiting them to the maximum. Here there are no “advanced” or "less advanced” countries; all need to work together to develop this science of mankind. A dramatic rise in World living standards would mean a radical change for all in the use of world resources. If all countries are to have an adequate share of reeourcee in the future they must start now to learn how to manage them. It. in recognition of this great need that has sparked the Geneva con- ference, and it will carry the world's hopes with it for aucceae in eome measure at leaat.

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Hockey Goals And Porliomen’tory Votes

Arc our politics getting a face- lifting. to make this important activity more popular as a spec- tator sport?

Look at those two headlines. and you will see the trend: “Red Kelly scores" an “Red Kelly scores 3".

The first headline appeared in

the latest edition of a paper en- ‘

titled “T he Canadian Liberal Challenge", published by the Na- tional Liberal Federation of Ca- nada. in Ottawa. The second headline appeared in a daily pa- per cnlillcd “The Globe and Mail," published by a commer- cial company in Toronto.

mons is the unassuming Liberal MP. for York West (Toronto). Although a freshman M,P.,

Canada as any of the front ben- chers on either side of the house. When Red Kelly was elected on June 18th a lot of politicians and most hockey fans thought some- thing would suffer — either hoc- key or politics. As to politics. Mr. Pearson has observed: "1 am delighted; in his work here he displays the same desire and ability that ltas marked his hoc- key carccr.‘ "

VITAL STATISTICS

w a National League goal is rated more im- portant than a Parliamentary vote. then obviously our politics are getting a new look. And the eagcr'beavers who staff the of- fices of our political parties are no doubt already assessing the Gallup Poll value of this new gimmick.

Not only may we now expect to see new faces, and perhaps more than faces, in Parliament. We may also look for changes In the rules, such as we had one day last week, to make the pro- ceedings more exciting to the spectators —— who after all do fi- nance the performers and the playing field just as the cash customers pay for the cost of hockey players and their ice.

With political organizers giv- lng high rating to the fact that a candidate is “well known across Canada", no doubt the headlines are now being scann- ed in last year's newspapers. Any person who made fron page h e a d l incs three times would be a desirable candidate

for any party in the forthcoming ‘

election.

And the star of a popular tele- vision series would be able to take his plck of safe seats. For re m o t e mlnlng or lumbering party organizers will look for special qualities In th eir candidates. "Cup-cake" Cassldy. the queen Girlie with the hour-glass figure, should prove a shoo-in for the Yukon; and Elizabeth Taylor could eure- ly capture any seat in Canada under any polltical banner.

Obesity Strains Human Heart

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

WHEN a fat man walks a mile, he uses up a quart of ox- ygen per minute. His thin coun- terpart use: a pint. No wonder the stout become short of breath easily. Moreover, if the coron- ary arteries are beginning to harden, these people become good candidates for heart dis-

ease.

The need for additional oxy. gen is likely to bring on angina pectoris. The reverse is true In that losing weight may relieve chest pain or allow the indivi- dual to walk farther before de- veloping it.

Obesity affects the heart in other ways. Every pound of fat requires blood and many mile! of capillaries are needed bring nourishment to the vari- ous cells. This increases the burden of the old ticker. The stout man or woman has more poundage to move when he walks down the street or up the stairs and this extra work helps explain why more oxygen is required.

In the past, an accumulation of fat in the heart muscle was held responsible. We now know this is not the cause of heart trouble, even in the o b e s e. Many of the overweight have large amounts of fat in t ' area. Pads of this 'ty pe of tlssue settle in the muscle and hang from the lower part of the heart.

In addition, a collection of fat in the abdomen may ralse the diaphragm, making the heart assume a transverse po- sition. But these localized de- posits don't bother the old ticker, even though the entire organ is almost encased in a fatty envelope.

The shortness of breath that is so common among fat per-

called from the bench, by party coaches who do not seek elec- tion to parliament.

It must be a fascinating temp- tation to the backroom boys 0 ‘politics to pick candidates who have some exotic appeal to the voters. B"! c ‘Sld("ll'.' all a-- pecls.
