AUGUST 10. D56 Sell-Determination Some little time ago we referred to a headhunting tribe in Northern India known as the Nagas, which is s e'e kin g political independence fromllndia. At that tirne it was not clear whether the Indian Govern- ment, which professes to believe that self-determination is the right of all peoples, would give in to the Nalgas' demands or send troops to quell the disorders that had arisen. A late Reuters dispatch from New Delhi answers the question. It says that a full scale "police" operation is under way in the hills and that so far 370 trlbesmen and 100 Indian soldiers have been killed. The rebels are being led by a man who fought on the Japanese side in the Second World War. The territory which covers about 5.000 square miles of hilly land has been designated "dis- turbed" territory by the Govern- ment. Prime Minister Nehru and his colleagues are said to be taking the View that, since the Nagasl chief sport is headhunting, they can hard- ly be considered eligible for self- government. This, no doubt, is sound reasoning. To give the Nagas their due, however, they can scarcely be blamed for wondering what all the fuss is about. It seems that prior to World War II they had been grad- ually getting out of the head-hunting business, but were encouraged by the British and Americans to revive the art and put it to good use behind Japanese lines; at that time most of the Nagas were anti-Japanese. In the "brushing-up" process they were instructed by I British specialist on the best and quickest way to cut off Japanese heads. If the practice was laudable then, they probably reason, why is it frowned upon now? In any event. -It may be presumed that I lot of heads will fall before the fight for independence is quashed by Indian power. It may convince Mr. Nehru, the Idealist, that while self-determination is undoubtedly I good principle, there are times when other consid- erations have to be taken into ac- count, and that there may be other backward peoples for whom self- govemment would not be quite the right thing. Tourists Ancl Pirates Newfoundland's Tourist Bureau has set out, to make Bell Island, I few miles from St. John's in historic Conception Bay, a big tourist resort. The advertising campaign is taking several courses, most of them being of the orthodox. variety. Thgre is, for example, "the natural charm and beauty" of the island, always an at- traction. Then, there is the island's status as one of the world's great mining centres. This, too, Is an un- I doubted asset; and the fact that the mines run for many miles under the sea adds a touch of adventure dear to the stranger's heart. These en- ticements are in the established tra- dition; but when the Bureau goes on to say that "the fact that the bay was used long ago as a rendez- vous for pirates is a great attrac- tion," one is inclined to believe that some officiaI's imagination was per- mitted to run away with his good judgement. . It is doubtful that even the most lvlntcme advertising campaign could . 2?! do much to recapture the romantic- flm that once upon a time was in- separable from the ways and man- ners of pirates. It is not I particu- larly pleasant thought, but the fact In that moot-tourists n't'go I ,; putofthelrwsy toseoa pfratnf rcndcsvous: unless, "of course, in . funds for such. I colossal undertak- lng. , Just why the pirates of old time have lost much of their former hold on the popular imagination is diffi- cult to say. Perhaps the stories of- their burled treastues have been dis- proved so often'and in so many widely scattered regions that even their more likely pranks have come under dark suspicion; or it may slm ply indicate in remote conse- quence of the bleak and arid climate that has descended on so many of the intellectual habits of our times. At any rate, the more one thinks about it the more one is inclined to the opinion that the Bell Island pub- llcists would do well to concentrate on what they have and leave the pirates and their hideouts alone. Alter-Effects The 11th anniversary of the bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has brought together in Tokyo delegates from nine countries to attend the second World Conference Against Atomic and Hydrogen bombs. Most of the delegates, apart from the Japanese, are from countries in the Commu- nist bloc or from extreme pacifist organizations in Western countries. Both Britain and France are repre- sented, the delegate in each case be- ing an official of the Women's Inter- national Democratic Federation, a pacifist but not a Communist-spon- sored organization. There is no one present from the United States, Canada or the Soviet Union. The biggest delegation is from Commu- ist China. There is one delegate from Latin America, a Japanese citizen now living in Brazil. The delegates will certainly have plenty to talk about;,and, their po- litical views aside, the emphasis they will place on the danger to the human race from repeated hydro- gen bomb explosions will find a good deal of sympathy in world opinion. A survey has shown that of the 47,000 persons who survived tho bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 near- ly 8,000 are still suffering after- effects of the explosion.

O O 0 President Eisenhower In his lat- est letter to Premier Bulganin made I first-rate diplomatic gesture by suggesting that one way for the Soviets to show their sincerity in their current anti-Stalin campaign would be to "eliminate the evils of the Stalin era in international re- lationships" as they claim to have done inside Russia. That is I fair challenge. It will be interesting to see how they try to get around it. 0 O 0 Senator Mike Mansfield, Demo- crat of Montana, deserves praise for suggesting an end to "degrading and morbid" inquiries about President Eisenhower's health.

PUBLIC FORUM HOME THOUGHTS Sir.-After reading with great interest the special edition of the formal opening of your fine pub- lication one wonders-almost- how the paper is ever gotten out Is the work it entails seems al- most garganluan. I doubt if any not in newspaper work have any idea of what it costs in effort, etc.. to meet a deadline and present the news to the public. I know I hadn't the slightest idea, and once "in the dcar dead days be- yond recall" I, was employed- in B.C.- by a newspaper, but only in the capacity of an office worker and for I brief period which was terminated for me by I street car accident. It must have been a very small paper as the staff was quite small but the quality of the editorials. etc.. fine. The editor whom I remem- ber clearly was an Oxford, Eng- land, graduate-the manager for whom I worked was I Scot lCan- adlonl and hailed from I little Ontario town where R.E. Know- les-author of the ”AttIc Guest". elc.,-was pastor. It was a nice environment In which to work- thc only fault the renumeratlon was little and not enough work to keep me busy. although the book- keeper always seemed to have plenty to fill her time. There were only two of us in the office--quite I difference between that and the Guardian staff. It was Interesting to see the pictures of the Columnists whose contributions I enjoy so much. Mrs. MacMllIsn's I was familiar with as I had seen her picture several times. Her column is won- derful, and evidently she is I "keen gardener" as your paper once remarked about her. My only regret is that I did not visit her "Country Garden" on my last visit. I still have I mental picture of my sist r's garden in Char- lottetown w lch I felt compared favorably with the finest I've seen in my travels. In June when I Ir- rlved It was lovely. but when I returned in August-after vis- iting my other close relatives in many parts of the "Isle"-it was I blaze of color-I never to-be- forgotlcn memory. A recent let.- ter from her stated that-although there hadn't been too much sun- shine-the Island was beautiful. Of course It is-It always is In summer-I Garden spot-even In winter it does not lack beauty Ind charm Mrs. Frank. as she was a kind neighbor-and I feel I might add "friend” of my late sister's-I felt I knew even before I saw her among I group of university women. Her column continues to be most interesting Ind I read it always with interest. Sometimes I wonder how she understands children so well-oh well Por- Illps courses In child psychology Ire equivalent to long years of experience are mothers and grand- mothers. Even then-if Iuolutcly honest-one must Idmlt that they do not know half the answers. Mrs. Frank's "New Hospitality" Idea is excellent, especially where children are Involved.
