Brayings From The Wings This is a time, surely, for the brass hats to keep quiet and the dip- lomats to take over. “The Pentagon," says a Washington despatch, “blunt- ly says it is prepared to sink any Communist-bloc ship in the Cuban area which refuses to stop and be searched. It is prepared to extend the operation as far east as neces- sary in the Atlantic to make it ef- fective. It is prepared to ‘face losses’ in carrying out this immense sea- air operation.” Prepared to do any- thing, in short, except shut up and let President K e n n e d y and his spokesman in the United Nations do the talking. There was pretty strong ground for questioning, not the necessity of what the President has done, but the way in which he has done it. Many Canadians believe that he could have strengthened the free world case by taking it directly to the Security Council. Had the Soviet Union attempted to stall for time in the Council, or vetoed its decis- ion, the blockade would have a justi- fication, in the eyes of the unaligned nations, which it now lacks. But the die has been cast. As Prime Minister Diefenbaker said in Parliament the other day, debate on this subject would ‘be “largely ster- lie’ and irrelevant.” Legalistic argu- ments, whatever they may be-—-this time the words are Liberal Leader Lester Pearson’s—“are not as im- portant as the necessity of rallying round our neighbor and our friend as brothers of the North Atlantic Alliance." There remains, therefore, no question as to the backing the Presi- dent should receive. He has been assured of that support from his free world allies, including Canada. Any attempt to remain uncommitted would be interpreted around the world as a rebuke to the United States and as aid and comfort to her enemies. We cannot allow that to happen under any circumstances. V We should, however, try to keep our heads in the matter. A dreadful accompaniment to war scares is the bellicose brayings of super-patriots, most of them too old for active ser- vice, who are in full cry now and would have us all keyed up to the same frenetic pitch as themselves, on pain of being branded as cowards, deviationists, or worse. With a congressional election campaign on across the border, we can hardly expect much better than irresponsible talk from the politic- 5- no. But there should be some way keeping the verbose gentlemen in _ ‘he Pentagon off the air and out of _ 4' ilhe press at this critical time. They 4-have enough to do, surely, in at- " - to their own responsibilities without taking over the still weight- ik ones of their superiors. 2 -. A Strange Situation .Ncsrly ten years ago. Maurice de now French Foreign Min- ‘, than French Ambassador in V " " re} ed half serious- vthe osuy war he could foreee ue_,\,v,os‘ld'a horizon would be a more puzzling than the Soviet arms buildup in Cuba, which at least makes sense in the Communist ideo- logical-war frame of reference. At this writing, Moscow is apparently rea d y and willing to continue to supply military items to India even thou h lnda is fighting against Mos- cow’ avowed ally, Communist China. This appears to be the first war since the last great one which is nationalistic in its inception, in its overtones and in its purposes. Al- ways before there has been some cold war “angle”. The China-India border war cuts across the ideologi- cal line entirely. C 0 m In u n i s t groups in India have underlined this fact by identifying t_he war as a pat- riotic effort and joining other In- dian parties in calling for resistance against Red C h in e s e aggression. And Moscow, officially, has refrain- ed from expressing the slightest sympathy or support for Peking. To Western observers, China’s insistence in pushing its territorial ambitions under such circumstances is almost incredible. It would seem almost to be seeking the hostility of every other nation and people in the world. Which brings us back to French Ambassador's Murville’s pre- diction of a decade ago. Still a wild-' ly improbable one, of course. But if one were to ignore Berlin and Cuba and project the future only from the border war in the Himalayas, col- laboration between M o s c 0 w and Washington in checking the ram- pant expansionism of China wouldn’t seem at all an unlikely turning cor- ner in history. Attack On Retardation _ Interesting to all concerned in the problem of mental retardation are the steps which are now pro- posed in the United States, as a re- sult of an inqui1‘y by a panel of 24 highly qualified persons whom Presi- dent Kennedy authorized a year ago to look into this matter. The p a n e l’ s recommendations cover many fields. They call for an increase in research, with eventual establishment of 10 research centres; expansion of federal aid in maternal and child care, with em- phasis on aiding “high risk” preg- nancy cases in low income groups; creation of a new pattern of care, with small residential centres in- stead of big institutions; recruit- ment and t r a i n i it got additional teachers for the retarded and in- creased vocational rehabilitation ser- vices. A pilot study has shown that providing vocational rehabilitation to 1,578 retarded persons raised their earnings from $70,000 to near- ly $2,500,000 a year. Preventing even a few cases of retardation will save sizable sums that would other- wise be spent for care. Knowledge gained about the retarded and new techniques developed for their treat- ment and teaching will have ap- plication for normal persons as well. The results .of this study will, doubtless, be made available in Can- ada shortly. There is no doubt that it would prove of value to all en- gaged in this humane undertaking. Here, indeed, is one field where international cooperation in develop- ing preventive treatment would pay off in tremendous dividends. EDITORIAL NOTES New Democratic Party adherents lament in Parliament, on television and in letters that they are being called NDPs. Though they have no objection to calling Conservatives “Tories” and Liberals “Grits”, they‘ insist on being referred to by their proper name. But abbreviations are popular ‘and, in politics, unavoidable. As the Ottawa Journal tartly sug- gests in this case, "Having chosen a cumbersome name, let them -stew in their own initials." 1 I I A West.German Bulletin reports the and case of a farmer in the Ger- man town of Pirmasens who was ordered recently to pay a fine of 100 marks for failing to stop a cock from crowing too early in the morning. The diligent bird disturbed the sleep of neighbors by beginning its _loud welcome to the dawn at I am. every day. Experts called in to in- vestigate found that the cock crow- ed 79 times within two hours and that its crow had a volume of 50 phone. making it impossible for peo- ple llvlng nearby to sleep.

I 4 TIPPING THE SCALES OTTAWA REPORT by Palirick Nicholson‘ Day Of Anxiety And Uncertainty Surely President Kennedy didn't give the stock markets of the western world a bad case of jitters just to assist the election of a few Democrats to Con- gress? That was the first astonish- ed reaction on Parliament Hill last Monday morning, when speculations were blooming from the fertile soil of the an- nouncement that the President would make an emergency broadcast to the people that evening. Nobody here could pinpoint any sufficiently dire new crisis. Whatever it was, it had sudden- ly blown up out of a sky which. if not of cloudless blue, was at least not unseasonable for the Cold War. The Sunday press of course does not exist in Canada. But leading New York and London papers alike had carried no hint of sudden new crisis - MEDICAL camoui-*i.Ae.s: The Sunday Times of New York did report that President Kennedy had suddenly cut short his "grueling y ca m- paign trip"'. and flown from Chicago back to Washington because he was “suffering from a cold”. To reassure his fellow campaigners and countrymen, the tough pioneer of the New Frontier asserted at the air- port: “I don't feel too badly; this is only precautionary." Another Sunday Timtes—that of London — went further, diag- nosing that the rheumy prest- dent would go to bed when he returned to Washington. It de- scribed how “the excitement was noticeably dying down" in Washington after the spate of totally unproductive Sovlet-Am- erlcan talks. British opinion, it said, remained firm that the Berlin deadlock is unbroken and unbreakable. “but a major " is autumn is improb- It added that Kennedy "has his own good reasons for wanting to contrive the impres- sion of imminent trouble" (there come those Democratic candidates for Congress again) — and it remarked in passing that “American public opinion may be ruffled by the sight of Cuba 3''. with communist cargoe On Monday the morning pa- pers in central Canada. and In- deed near e mid- day “evening" papers carried no reference linking Cu a with a new crises.

Thus Parliament Hill came to the atsxious and uncertain end of a dtay of anxiety and uncer- tainty, while some older hearts grew leaden at what seemed an echo of the events of August 1939. But hope prospered on the assurance that humanitarianism among statesmen ' strong enough to resist the insistent rocket-rattlli-nvg of the militar- I ist-s. Tfiesting Time By Joseph For The U.N.

In the past the Burmese Buddhist has referred to the United ‘States and the Soviet Union as the “two giants" who have a special responsibility for the peace of the world now remains to be seen whether the head-on clash of the giants will warp UN prin- ciples on whether somehow they will be strengthened.

U.S. A mbassador Adlai Stevenson'l.s Tuesday speech was ttol unly an indictment of Russia's military buildup in Cuba but a chronicle of Mos- cow's misdeeds since the UN was founded He recalled he.was present at the Security Council's first meeting when Russia was taken to task for its actions in neigh- boring Iran. Now. on the UN’s 17th birthday, new complaints were being directed at Russia. n the interval Russia had "thwarted the will of the ma- jority" by using the veto 100 times. GAVE SIMILAR VIEW I-r ter of state for foreign affairs, earlier delivered a similar anal- ysis of Russia’s record where disarmament is concerned. in the bluntest language, God- ber plowed through the history of disarmament efforts since the war, seeking to prove that the West has made concession after concession to Moscow with little or nothing in return. Godber made the point—and he later told correspondents he was anxious they understood it —lhat the non-aligned countries of the UN have come to expect the West rather than Russia to make concessions on any given controversy evenson‘s nhelorical ques- tlon as to whether the Soviet Union “ever really joined the United Nations” recalls the sad state of UN finances. largely because of Moscow's refusal to pay its share of peacekeeping costs. The Stevenson and Godber speeches sounded like show- down statements calculated to slop—if possib1e—the UN'e trend to becoming a diplomatic _one-way street. :'.I\/lysteries Of Jupiter National Geographic society A giant tnew radio telescope may help solve some of the my- steries of the giant planet J_upl- fer The 300-foot-wide electronic “dlslt" at Green Bank, West Virginia. recently detected ~ln one d y es lo emis- sions from -Jupiter as smaller lnatrumenbwltave recorded in a month. « Tuning in‘ on ‘radio signals from Jupiter‘. is an astronomical innovation. 1I'ot until 1965 did astronomers ‘learn that Jupiter was emlttlrg long-wave radio s. ’ ‘ It was a rrurprlslng discovery, because platpts usually trans- ‘loag wiavol-still is unknown. several tlteoules are current. .

Van nulls: THE WARM, &leas,ant cli- mate of filo sou and south- west has a strong attraction elllng not-therners, particularly the elderly and those with artb rltis and disorders of the heart. lungs, or circulation. are limitations to the value of changing climate, especially if it involves traveling long dis- tancee. Air travel is modern, pres- surized cabins is ideal for most of those who go south for their health. Long trips by car are tiresome for the aged and for men and women with car- diovascular disorders. The commercial air lines will take anyone who can get it or off the plane without trou- ble but they cannot be expec an ambulance service an O '1 no a or tranquilizers and the chance of developing air sickness is is minimal on large planes. A trip of this type should not be undertaken by men and wo- men in an advanced stage of the above mentioned diseases. They will get along better by remaining at home or in a hos- pital under the care of their own physician. The majority are too ill to enjoy the benefits of a warmer climate and the strain of travel is likely to,ag- gravate their condition. The same applies to victims stroke with severe damage to the brain; they do better at home or in an institution. A different climate also re- -quires acclimation especially when the contrast is marked. People who spend the winter in the south should not return north until April. when the weather is warmer. The alter- native is to stop a few days in a moderate climate on the way ome. . Changing climate does not cure any disease and spending the winter in Florida, along the gulf, or in Arizona or southern California does not mean the end of medical care or throw- ing caution to the winds. The sun still burns and swimming in cold water is harmful when the blood pressure is high the old ticker is impaired. Dr. Van Dellen questions on medical topics lope accompanies request.)
