Warheads And Politics When a Liberal spokesman. )Ir. Patti I-Iellycr. recently advocated that Canada accept American war- heads as have other NATO inciti— hers. he w as promptly called to task by his leader. Mr. Pearson. .\Ir. Hellyer. said Mr. Pearson. had gone “further than we have done as a party." and “he was not speaking for the party." Mr. Pearson. speak-- ing belatedly for the party. has now caught up with Mr. Hellyer, and declared himself in favor of nuclear arms for ('auada. it was a close call for the Maui- tuba Liberal Association convention. which had to make a complete about face on this issue over the weekend. The convention at first had reject- ed a resolution in favor of nuclear arms: then word came of their na- tional leader's speech and the dele- gates hastened to vote or a wide majority in favor of the same reso- lution. With the (‘ouscrvativc national association meeting at Ottawa this week in its first session since the party’s membership in the Commons ‘was cut almost in two in the gen- eral election. Mr. Pearson’s surprise ‘move was not inexpert in its polit- 'ical timing. The Conservatives titt- ‘douhtedly will have to discuss such i touchy subjects as nuclear weapons ifor ('anada. and if they fall in line with this proposal it will be hard :for them to avoid conceding the .initiative. to the Liberal leader. K This is the political angle. Mr. Pearson assumes that Canada made. commitments to accept nuclear armament in connection both with NATO and the North American Air Defense t’lointnand. and it should live up to those Commit- ments. He hasn't said why it took him so long to come to this con- clusion. but apparently he accepts (leneral Norstad’s statement to this effect. though it. has never been Concerted by the Government. says General Norstad. however. had said the NATO commitment involv- ol accepting American warheads under American control. .\lr. Pear- son interprets the commitment as providing for joint NATO control and use of the weapons. There is a vital point at issue here. which should be clarified. It has been argued that the weapons in ques- tion are tactical. not strategic, and that in any case no increase in the “nuclear 'l'antily" would be involved. But Mr. Pearson didn't go into this point in his statement. nor has the Government so far thrown much light on the matter. It is expected that, Prime Minis- ter lliefenbaker will discuss the issue when he delivers a keynote speech at the Conservative. convention on Friday. It's plainly the Government leader’s move. and the sooner he makes a clearcut’statement as to his attitude the better. The Red Ensign As some action is expected to be taken before the next election on the so~called flag issue. it is to be hoped that all who have any doubts about the status of the Red Ensign will study the case as pre- sented by a correspondent in a re- cent issue of the Montreal Gazette. Here is the gist. of it: The Red Ensign became the. of» ficiul and distinctive flag of Canada by Order in Council on Sept. 5, 1945. after thousands of Canadians were killed fighting to uphold its honor in the Second World War. At the United Nations, it in one of the u 1 t'obliilteri i I few flags which bears an Armorial Shield and cannot be confused with I the flag of any other nation. Also it is declared. in the Canada Ship- ping Act. to be "the proper na- tional colors for all Canadian ships." Ever since the above official declaration was made, all prospect- ive immigrarls to Canada have been informed by the Department of Im- migration that “the flag used as distinctive of Canada is properly described as the Red Ensign with the Shield of the (loaf of Arms of ('anada in the fly. The flag con— sists of a red field. with the Union Jack in the first quarter next to the staff. The inclusion of the I'uion Jack signifies (‘anada's association with other members of the British of Nations.” Commonwealth This declaration goes on to state that “the (‘oat of Arms bears the emblems of the four countries from which the original settlers of (“an- ada were chiefly drawn—the Three l.ions of England. the Lillies of France. the Lion Rampant of Scot- land. and the Harp of Ireland. to- gether with a branch carrying three maple leaves, the special em- blem of ('anatla.” “by anyone should wish to have a different flag is surprising to the majority of ('anadians; but there is a vociferous minority which is campaigning continuously along these lines. and we may expect to hear more from them at party con— ventions and other political pow- wows. Doubtless there will be a watery resolution of some kind to pacify these gentry at this week’s (‘onservativc gathering at Ottawa, and another one when the Liberals hold their national council meeting there in lt‘cbruary. The Gazette correspondent sug- gests that if those who are cott— vcrucd about retaining the Red Ensign would forward a cop y of his letter with a note of approval to their parliamentary member, they could soon put a stop to this nonsense. It may take more doing than that. but the idea's. a good one. Luck Of The Irish According to a Dublin commenta- tor. the national gallery of Ireland has shaken the international art world with a string of expensive purchases. It has bought a world famous 'I‘intoretto. two )Iurillos and a (,‘ourbet, among others. The prices are never disclosed, but art experts think they must total well over half a million dollars. The money comes principally from the estate of George Bernard Shaw. that most famous of all Irish playwrights. and from the colossal royalties on “My Fair Lady". Shaw once said that he had learned noth- ing at school in Dublin. but got a superb education as a child looking at pictures in Ireland’s national gallery. In his will be left to the gal- lery nearly one-third of his estate. Shaw, of course. knew that. some of his plays would be revived to add more royalties to his bequest. What he didn't lanow that one of them. “l’ygmalion”. would be adapt- ed by an American songwriting team into a musical that would bring in more money in royalties 12 years after his death than all his plays ever earned at any time during his life. But this is what. has happened. “My Fair Lady" turned his gift into an astonishing flood of good fortune. Every time anyone buys a ticket to one of the several pro- ductions of “My Fair Lady" any- where in the world. a piece of the price goes to the national gallery at Dublin. The Hollywood version ensures that the flood will continue. EDITORIAL NOTE A Canada Council bulletin reports that the job of charting Canadian speech is finally moving ahead. Pro- fessors with tape recordings are getting down dialects in the Mari- times. the richest of all linguistic mines. The Canadian Linguistic As- sociation is working on a “Diction- ary of Canadian English on Histori- cal Principles." It hopes to collect perhaps half a million words with special links to Canada. “A Diction- ary of Canadianisms" will be pub- lished by W.J. Gage before 1967. "The Canadian Dictionary” (McClel- land and Stewart) and Cassell’s “New French-English English- French Dictionary" are recent dic- tionaries of Canada’s two official languages which include words and idioms native to the country. \Vflh‘ :V'III‘.

THE OTHER FAMILY OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Growth Of The “white horscs' on our rivers. which were a curse to our early travellers. are perhaps the most valuable least- thankcd contribution to our high standard of living. Harnessed to provide hydro-electric power. the rapids and waterfalls on our rivers contribute enormous- ly to our national work force. not only through automated fac- tories but also by means of push- butlon domestic conveniences. Two years ' ion. Alvin Hamilton. who was then Minister of Northern :7 o u r Affairs and National Resources, told me . that (‘artada had achimcd an all-time record in the growth of our harnessed water-power durlng the previous calendar year. New hydro-electric gener- ating capacity brought into op- eratiou during 1930 totalled 2.- 503.800 horse-power. he said. That raised our total capacity of i water power plants to 24.884348 horse power. while an cstlmated j . ‘ ' hove wer .:till rc-‘ . 58 mmmn H p0 \ vthal American women have re- mained unharncsscd.

But a somewhat larL‘er total. 532,034 horse power. was adddcd to our thermal-electric capacity. rais- ing that to 4.222.360.

The hemopltiliac is one of the most widely publicized types of blecdcr. Those with thrombo- cytopenic purpura are more numerous. This tendency stems from a reduction in the number of platelets and differs from other bleeding disorders in that the prothrombin and coagula- tion times are normal. less than 10 per cent are over 40. The defect may be traceable use of specific drugs. vaccines. or physical agents. It also is associated with kcmia. If those known origins are eliminated. the disappears spontaneously.
