Surely, however, the benefit of the doubt can be given to the Conservatives in this case, in that the Government has a tradition- -Commons seat. New Democratic Leader '1‘. C. Douglas, (l€‘f€:!ie(l in Reginia (‘ity in June, has been nominated in Burna- by-Coquitlam and Mr. Regier, who Cheld the seat from 1953, will be his Lcampaign man.'3ge1'. Reportedly, leg- Tiil opinion was sharply divided on whether an MP can resign between "the date of his election and the elec- ;tion by the new Commons of a ‘Speaker who nomtally receives res- ignations. But the Government has chosen to ignore this objection in Mr. Re-.gier’s case, and public opin- ion will, we think, strongly support its attitude. There may, indeed, he an element ‘of self interest on the Government's part, as suggested in some quarters. Should Mr. Douglas win Burnaby- Coquitlam, there might be less dan- ger of a leaderless group of NDP Commons members taking precipi- tate action in the heat of debate which would endanger a minority administration. Still another consid- eration that has been suggested is that the Conservatives believe their stock is on the rise with the elector- ate and that with a good candidate in Burnaby-Coquitlam they may have a chance to wrest the con- constituency from the NDP, even though Mr. Regicr won it in June with a plurality of about 19,000 votes and the Liberals placed sec- ond. We prefer to think that the main- reason was to give Mr. Douglas I. chance to get into the House, where he belongs as party leader, and where he would have a valuable con- tribution to make to the discussions. Uganda Next Overshadowed by more contro- versial issues, a matter disposed of at the opening of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers’ Conference this week received less publicity than Tvould otherwise have been the case. This was the approval by the 15 Commonwealth countries of the ad- mission of Uganda to full member- ship when it becomes independent on Oct. 9. Lying in the heart of Africa, high up on a 4,000-foot plateau, the country has been described as form- ing a bridge between north and south, east and west. Curled around the northwest corner of Lake Vic- toria, it contains the source of the White Nile'in the north and borders on The Congo (ex-Belgian) in the west. After a visit there in 1908 as British minister of colonial affairs, Sir Winston Churchill wrote: ,’“Uganda is a fairy tale. You climb up a railway instead of a beanatalk, and at the end there is a wonderful gm. world." ‘_ Dr. Stanley was the first white {than to enter the area. at the end of from Mombasa, -. the Indian, ‘ and its .~“ a 1 Itlfib Irfil Ulruulfili C II land. As the winds of change lwept inland to the lake region, progress towards democracy and independ- ence became inevitable. Political par- ties sprang up, and Africans were gradually introduced to the legisla- tive council. Last year elections were held on the basis of universal suf- frage. The resulting government of Benedicto Kiwanuka, however, was short-lived. At a conference in Lon- don in late 1961 a new constitution was adopted, and new elections were held last April. Now in power is the former op- position party, the Uganda People's Congress. under 39-year-old Milton Oboke. Unless the Communists veto his application for U.N. member- ship, Mr. Oboke plans to make his debut in New York before Christ- mas. And he is said to be very in- terested in visiting Canada as well. His future representative at the United Nations has been attached to the Canadian U.N. delegation for the past year to gain experience. Like Canada, Uganda‘s economy is geared largely to the export mar- ket, its three principal products being coffee, cotton, and copper. His Passing Mournecl This community has been fortun- ate, over the years, in the num- ber of its business and professional men to whom the word “success" meant something more than person- al gain, and to whom the expenditure of their time and means in promot- ing community welfare w a s re- garded not only as a duty but a high privilege. The tradition goes back beyond living memory, and there is no reason to fear that it will die out, for it has been exemplified time and again in the lives of our citizens. One who preached diligently, through example, this gospel of ser- vice was Mr. T. Roy Cudmore, presi- dent of the firm of Henderson and Cudmore, whose death, at 69, we mourn today. Early in life Mr. Cud- more became identified with the activities of his church and other or- ganizations, and for many years thereafter took a. leading part in community drives, notably in fund- raising campaigns for the Salvation Army and the YMCA. Both these organizations honored him with an official citation and plaque for l‘.lS outstanding work on their behalf. He served in the City Council with the same disinterested zeal and ability, while continuing to maintain and expand the large mercantile business with which his name was associated. Those privileged to know Mr. Cudmore personally valued him as a true and loyal friend, a quiet, un- assuming gentleman who never sought the limelight, but to whom no community responsibility was too heavy to assume. He has been an in- spiration to many others, and it can be truly said that his endeavors will keep his memory fresh and green. To his widow, his sons. and other members of the family The Guardian tenders its deepest sympathy. Another U.N. Campaign It is not only lack of productive land, good seed and favorable grow- ing conditions that cause more than half of the world to go hungry. Ignorance, taboos and prohibitions of nation, clan ‘and family are also responsible for undernourishment and especially for malnutrition. So along with its world-wide campaign to help people produce more food, the food and agriculture organization of the United Nations is waging a. campaign to teach. people how to use the food resources they have avail- able. It’a quite a project. In more than 40 countries the story of good food for good health is being spread. The campaign makes use of schools, maternity and child centres, youth clubs, adult community programs- whatever means are at hand. Slowly the effort is showing re- sults. In Uganda schoolgirls drink milk without fear of having no child- ren. In Haiti, in the Congo. in India, infants now thrive because of their more 'adequate diets. Where a few years ago a man could divorce his wife for eating an egg, chicken rais- ing is developing rapidly. , We have out own taboos, which may seem as monstrous to nations which do not share them. But they do not affect food resources. at ‘out Education ........“"'t.i ‘H . ..

Four years ago a food proccs- ‘ sing company, Salada Foods, obtained a Canadian pat~3ntcov- «ring a process for preparing pre-cooked dried potatoes ' flakes. By this method, they are peeled, cooked, riced and 1 dc-hydrated ~ then marketed in pac-k_agcs for quick and easy = serving. Last year our Department of _ Agriculture devised and patent- ed a process which is in the same general field. but which, it is argued, uses a different method I0 produce a different form of instant potato. IN SPUD ISLAND T00 While Salada use their own patent to process potatoes at. Alliston, Ontario. the govern- ment process is licensed to four companies operating in Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba and New Brunswick. whilst a fifth in Prince Edward Island has been negotiating to process the fa- mous potato of that province. But now the potato has be- lcome a legal battleground. In 1 one law suit, Salada is siting Le- l nt Rights forms either in granules, ; somewhat similar to flour, or in ver Bros. for infringing its pa- i tent by importing processed po- ‘ tatoes from another suit, the through the Department of Jus- tice, is taking action in the Ex- chcquer Court reportedly to se- cure a judicial declaration that Salada‘s patent is void. or that each other. These disputes have arisen because Salada claims that i patent dominates . covered by the government pa- tent, ' that this claim is damaging to i potato producers and .consumers in Canada. Specifi- ; cally it charges that the Salada tclaim “seriously impedes the 3. use of Canadian-produced pota- toes to the detriment of “those interests. As these cases are now be- fore the courts, one may not . attempt to prejudge them in comment such as this. However, it is of general in- terest to note the general back- ground; also to learn from this potato . federal government.

This action. for the second year in a row. on e part of men and women is worthy of high- est comn‘.-‘ndation and should DFOVP great encouratzcntont and incentive to students in the jun- lor grades to try to qualify for these prizes in the future. I ’woulI:' like to congratulate these young people on their achicvements and wish them well in the furtherance of their education. I think too a word of praise for their teachers, with- out whose efforts and hard work this would not have been pos- sible, would not be amiss. To single out one person for partl- cular mention is not always wise or fair but I believe for the second year in a row a pupil of Mrs. Mary Ross, teacher in Mt. Buchanan school. won a first prize. Education, even at the high school level. is within the reach of almost everyone today and that such a low percentage of our boys and girls avail them- selves of it should be of great concern to all of us.

Trade officials here report that the legal uncertainty sur- rounding the flaked instant po- tato in Canada is handicapping our exports and restri its market here. When all is clear- ed up. there may well be a large increase in the production and marketing and exports of Canada's potatoes.

U-2 Incident I By Harold Morrison Canadian Press sun Writer The United States probably is as deeply Involved as Formosa in the dispatch of a U-2 spy plane over Communist China at a time when there is increasing curioal in Washington whether the Chinese are ear- nestly endeavorlng to produce an atomic arsenal. While Chlang Kat-slick’: gov- ernment has quickly accepted full responsibility for the latest U-2, which the Reds said they knocked down by some “uncon- ventional” meana, the high-fly- lng plane capable of cruising at heights of more than 70,000 feet is an American product requir- ing U.S. government approval before it can be exported. BOUGHT TWO Formosan and U.S. adminis- trations say Formosa purchased two of the U-2 planes from the U.S. manufacturer in July, 1960. OUR YESTERDAYS (From the Guardian Files) TWENTY - FIVE YEARS AGO (September 12. 1937) Miss Florence Boland, Toron- . National President of the CWL of Canada, left Charlotte- town Saturday, after having _at- tended the Diocesan Convention in Sourls. Miss Boland will at- tend conventions in Halifax and Chatham before proceed- ing to ashlngton.

At that time the U.S. pledged not to send any more planes over Russia. a pledge that was repeated when President Ken- nedy took offlce in January III 961. But what could be more con- 1' over which the U.S. could exer- cise a great deal of control and have this friendly power con- tinue doing what the U.S. says it no longer is doing? The U-2 plane, with its power- ful cameras, proved a valuable and accurate spying instru- ment. It gave the U.S. a great deal of information about mis- stle launching: and troop move- ments in Russia. Undoubtedly similar information about Com- munist China has been trans- mitted to the U.S. through For- mosa. CAPITOL CONFUSED Recently there has been some confusion in Washington as to whether China is actually build- ing an atomic bomb and how soon it may be able to test and explode it. There have been a variety of official guesses. in- cluding a startling one by a high authority that was hurriedly scrubbed. The speed with which asso- ciates of this authority at- tempted to wash away the “guess" that the Chinese may be able to explode such a bomb "in a few months" has opened the question of whether this au- thority was speaking from a P“- vate hunch or from highly sec- ret reconnaissance information. In any case, the Communists are likely to make the most of the new U-2 intrusion when the United N a ti o n s reassembles next week.
