The British Story A dispatch from London says that American correspondents there are ”amazed" at the unmistakeable .. Sm-ngthening of public opinion in favour of the Government's POHCY m Tail Middle East affairs. They do not .- ' undrwslllflfl why the British people 3--ll are closing their ranks in face Of , Aml,”,.,,,, (H5l,i,.;.,-.nvr-, United Na- tions" critiei.-'m and lack Of 5.Vmlli1'll.V and support from Canada and India. 1, They do not understand it, for thr simple reason that they do not un- derstand the British temperament In 5 ' the presence of danger and have A ' little real knowledge of British his- tory. Taking their cue from the l i I- present lfnitwl Suites administration, f they appear to assume that the -: 5 proper way for Britain, as for the iii, United States. to combat danger is it to fly from it and to pretend that , appeasement of the Soviet Union and it its new satellite, Egypt, is a 800d foundation on which to build hope for the future. , T If these correspondents would ' take the trouble to look into the British story or even to inquire into "ii the early years of both World Wars, I i- they would discover that standing l-g? alone is no new experience for Brit- ain. It is, indeed, as much a part of the British story as the refusal to cower before the threats of tyrants or to accept the course of appease- ment from fine-weather friends. '.'Nought shall make us rue if Eng- land to itself do rest but true" is not an antiquated slogan of bravado but the spiritual conviction of the British mind and more than once it has helped to save the world, and not merely the British Isles, from slav- 3.3, ery , Today, what with rockets and i guided missiles and such like, this conviction may appear foolhardy to i those who are ready to submit to l Soviet and Egyptian blackmail, but A foolhardy or not it is so deeply in beginning new and liappler liven in a strange land Time enough for soluting flags and applauding Gov- ernment officials when the simple basic needs of humanity in distress have been met. After all, providing shelter and safety for these poor suffering people is little enough for the United States-or Canada-to do after refusing to help rid their fatherland of the Soviet invaders. If any debt is involved, Americans and Canadians are the people who own it, to a brave people who tried to do with their bare hands what those who now consider themselves their benefactors were unprepared to at- tempt with great military might, out of fear of Soviet anger. Perhaps this unpreparerlness was justified. and perhaps it was not. In any event, it is not for either the United States Government or the Canadian Gov- ernment to treat these people as suppliants for charity, whose first act must he the applauding of flags and government officials. Launching Ceremony Of interest to all our citizens is the ceremony t aking place this morning at the Ferguson Company sliipyzii-(ls in Pictou, when the new Wood Islands-Caribou ferry "Lord Selkirk” will be launched. It is ex- I)0L'lU(l to have the boat completed in time for next year's operations by Northumberland Ferries, Limited. Transport Minister Marler has ex- pressed confidence that it will popu- larizc the ”Triangle Trip" to the Island during the coming tourist season. Lack of accommodation has certainly affected our tourist trade adversely on this route in the past, and there is no doubt that there will be a larger influx of tourists when the ship goes into service. Equally important, however, is the provision made for light and heavy trucks, which will mean a great, deal to our farmers and other shippers. With the improvement in terminal facilities, the service will take on a new lease of life and he of great advantage to all concernrvl. No doubt, within a few years, accommodation will again be taxed to the limit and we shall be pressing for further facilities from the Dominion Government. In the meantime, the improved prospects are eneouraglhg and the Transport Department is to be commended upon its efforts in meeting our urgent requirements . 5 rooted in the soil of Britain that to rt tear it up would be the same thing (it. as an assault on the soul of freedom. it'll And the British will not do it, come I,-;. what may. Always their finest hour l ;. is when they stand alone or with a few faithful allies (France, Australia it and New Zealand in this instance). '. That is why Sir Anthony Eden's 5 position is stronger now than it has ' been at any time since that other fateful hour when he risked his po- l litlcal prospects rather than submit to counsels of fear. It is to be hoped that the state of his health will per- , lnit him to return home soon and 1 ,: share in the rallying of the nation I" to face whatever may befall. E Bad Taste A report in the New York Times covering the arrival in the United States of the first group of Hun- garian refugees makes both pleasant ' and unpleasant reading. Pleasant, be- cause it tells of men, women and children finding a haven from Soviet tyranny and butchery; unpleasant, because it tells of an unseemly effort by the United States Secretary of the Army. Mr. Wilbur M. Brucker, to make the refugees conscious of n debt they own to American good- rtsl. "I want to initiate you," said Mr. Bmcker the minute the group stepped on American soil, "I want ypu to know what freedom is all about. First, I want you to applaud -the flag." Then, after introducing a EDITORIAL NOTES Experts have announced that the average man now wears a size 41 suit, whereas 25 years ago he wore a 38. It that good or bad? Its an important scientific discovery, any- way. 0 O O A report on educational matters in the United States says that con- ditions are so bad that some colleges might have to use teachers with M.A. degrees rather than insist on holders of Ph.D's. It's a calamity, that's what it is! I O I What an eruption there is going to be in the Middle East one of these days! Egypt against Israel, Syria against Irak and Lebanon, Iraq against Jordan, Turkey in g a in s t Syria, and only Allah knows what other alarums and excursions until the Russians move in and gobble up the lot of them. 0 O 0 Mr. Soloman West Ridgeway Ban- danaraiki of Ceylon has praised the Canadian Government for taking such a "strong" stand for peace in the United Nations. What he meant, of course, was the denunciation of Britain and France which fits in very well with Mr. Bandanaralkl'I own views. 0 O I British Labour Leader Goitskill has toned down his criticism of Sir Anthony Eden. That shows that he still has a little political shrewdneu left, however short ho may be of Itateamanltke quolltles. Being aware of the rising support for Eden's realistic policy. he doesn't want to be branded as an oppcaser. O I All talk of patching up the rift THE "LORD SELKIRK" LAUNCHING The U. N. Cuts ltslhroal Globe and Mail, Toronto The League of Nations, which was to assure world peace. col- lapsed after twenty years of exis- tence. The United Nations, which took over the duty from it, hot fared even worse, arriving at the brink of collapse after a scant e- leven years. What happened? it used to be argued, on the League's behalf, that it failed be- cause the United States would not join it. No such excuse can be made for the UN: the United States has been a member of it from the very beginning. The trouble lies elsewhere. than in US presence or absence. What is killing the UN is what, in fact. killed the old League-compromise with. aban- donment of, its own principles. Both the Leugue and the UN otarted out with the some high pur- possto prevent and punish Ig- grcsslon by the collective action of nations opposed to aggression. The League started to foundu in 1931. when it failed to halt the Japanese aggression in Manchuria- Four years later came in failure to halt the Italian aggression in Ethiopia. Germany's subsequent remllltarlxatlon of the Rhlnelsnd. Japan's outright warfare against China, and the Spanish Civil War (in which Russia openly assisted one side, and Germany and Italy the other) brought the League to its final ruinotlon. - LONG ON WORDS The League of Nations was long on words-no organization had ev- er passed In many and such Id- mlrablo resolutions-but it wII Ibort on dcedl. It never forlook its principles in theory; but it for- nook them in fact-by acting on them belatedly, by acting on them lnlf-burtlly. most often by fall- ing to act upon them It Ill. The LeIguo'I Covenon. as it turned out, was just for talking about; for resolving to do, but never do- us. This is pretty much the position of the UN'I Charter, which motion In dismal reading today Is the Covenant did twenty years ago. Here are all the plnclpleu the UN professes to believe in, here ore all the principles it has betrayed. To be sure. it has not betrayed lbcm vorbolly. Has it not posted five resolution: ordering Runln to stop Itlacklng Huulfi. Ind to withdraw her troops from that country? In it not meeting, by day and by night, to discuss the situ- ation in the Middle East? But Ruulan troops Ire still in Hungary; the UN has not lifted I finger to put them out. it has not lifted a finger to impose unc- tlons of any sort against Russis;- or even (the least it could do! to expel Russia from membership. By falling to enforce its own reso- lution: on Hungary, the UN has abandoned its own yxlIlClPlE8.” by abandoning its own principles, it is cutting its own throat. SHARP CONTRAST Against. this. true enough, may be set the UN: record of action on the Middle East. But. look It the nature of that action. Britain, France and Ilncl-in sharp con- trast to Russia-accepted the UN's demand for on lmmedlnto cone fire. In contrast to Russia also they accepted the UNI demand for withdrawal of their troops from Egypt-getting in return the II- surance that the UN would send an effective police force there to take over from them, and help bring about I permanent political settlement in the Middle Eut. That assurance having been giv- en, and having been accepted in all good faith, the UN promptly proceeds to renege on It. In def- erence to Russia-which doesn't want I Mlddlo East settlement - the UN has mode compromise aft- or compromise on the number, na- ture and duties of its police force: thereby weakening that force to the point where it is utterly incap- able of doing the job the UN ss- Iignod to ii, the job tho UN promised it would do. The crowning perfldy ll flint tho weaker the police force becomes, the more loudly the UN calls on Brltoln ond France to clear out and make room for it. The further the UN retreat: from the prom- lu it made to London and Paris, the more angrily the UN insists bnndon and Port: keep the prom- lle they made to it- What price honor? What price principle?
