THURSDAY, MAY 5. 1955 New Text-Book Material Although neither Britain nor West Germanyhas yet recovered fully from the Second World War, and while both coun- tries are preoccupied with measures to ward off World War Three-or to escape defeat and destruction, should it be forced upon them-historians of both countries are looking back to World War One to see what it was that led to Anglo-German estrangement in 1914. At a conference in Goslar, West Germany, they came up with Woertain agreements and conclusions, which will now be distributed to text-book writers and publishers in the hope that young peo- ple in both countries will advance towards a greater measure of mutual respect and understanding. If and when the historians' views are accepted and incorporated into the school books. the old British assumption that German militarists started the war in or- der to make their nation the master of all 'Europe, and eventually of the world, will become obsolete; so will the German belief 'that Britain took the lead in form.ing al- lilances aimed at the oncirclement of Ger- many and the lthwarting of her commercial and colonial rights. The report says that, although tillers had been much unneces- sary commercial rivalry between the two countries, this was not the cause of war. In their own words: "Neither the British nor the German Government allowed com- mercial competition to determine policy." -What was it then that brought them into conflict? It was fear-fear of each oth- nr's growing military power which, appar- nntlvy, no statasrnan in either country was wise enough to keep under control, and nlotgei out of bounds. In short, the whole lthing was s mistalse, which I little more understanding of each other": problems would have prevented. (No mention was made of the Second War. Presumably, it In still boo near for proper historical ap- pmiasl.) It all sounth very simple; and, no doubt, lthe purpose behind the historians views is -very good and proper. It can be expect- ed, however, that tlhere will be plenty of discussion about the conclusions before they are finally given places in the books. ilMoving Day" In Egypt Troops and businessmen find the change welcome. Behind the withdrawing forces the Suez Canal still stands as one of the world's most strategic waterways.

Leave-taking time extends for 20 months from last October under British-Egyptian agreement. The British are departing a sizable desertlike area stretching 90 miles from Suez on the Gulf of Suez northward to Port Said on the Mediterranean. In the irregular zone are extensive military installations. One depot was reported stocked with enough dehydrated vegetables to feed 80,000 men for nine months. dromes and acres covered with tanks and trllcks. At desolate sandy El Tell cl Kcbir occupation forces installed a supply depot encircled by a 17-mile barbed-wire fence. One of the world's largest tent cities, multiple millions of dollars worth of military stores. 80,000 troops and 37 major installations are elements of the "moving day" headache. These elements have ac- ctunulated since 1951 when Egypt abrogat- ed the 1936 trea-ty which permitted Brit- ish occupation. Under the October, 1954, the British have already quit the Suez area, the southernmost zone. The first stage, ending in February, saw a general withdrawal of over 22 per cent of the forces. Eight troop ships in regular calls at Port Said have embarked 13 major units. From Suez several thousand East African and Mauritian pioneers have bade Egypt goodbye. ,'I'hirteen military camps have been sold and others are in prepar- ation for sale.

It has also been estimated that radiation from n medium-sized hy- drogen bomb one hour after the uploslon and covering an area of some 250 square miles is 2,500 roentgens per hour. It follows that every exposed person within this area would be dead in less than an hour or taken so violently ill he could'nof aur- vlve. This represents one of the laws- some apd terrifying factors in civil . defence planning. The U.S. Atomic Energy Oom- missioa has made public figures on fallout and roentgen dosage from the March 1, 1954. blast at Bikini of a bomb believed to have yielded 3 megatons, the equivalent of 33,- 000.000 tons of TNT. Ten miles downylind from the OK- plosion, the radiation dosa e was about 5,000 roentgens for t first 86 hours after the fallout. Some 100 miles from the point of detona- tion, the dosage was 2,300 roent- gens for 36 hours; at 110 miles. 2,000 roentgens; at 125 miles, 1,- 000 roentgens: at 100 miles, about 500 roentgens; at 190 miles. 300 roentgnns. - The ABC added: "Thus. about 7.000 square lull of territory. downwind from the point of burst '''as so contamin- ated that survi might have de- pended on pro. ll evacuation of the area or upon taking shelter and other protective measures."

I0 be sure. but it's effective. I think. though. you'll want to break him of ham long before he is of school age. I don't believe you'll have much luck with mechanical devices such as mittens, cuffs. thumb-guards or adheslve tape. Putting blttar-tut- lng substances. on your young- ster's thumbs won't do much good either. Instead of correcting the u-ouble. these things might make your child want to suck even more. scolding or nagging an older child won't cure him and might only make him unhappy and feel guilty.

COMMUNIUF MORALITY Sir,-I would like to point out that the comments in an adibonnl of Friday, April .22. to the effect that the Chinese Communists would improvs matters ly practicing what they preach are naive and betray a misunderstanding of Com- munlst morality. Briefly. for a Communist there is only one right -that which serves the party's aim at world domination. The Communists themselves. in partic- ular Lenin. have preached this. Therefore, how can you blame I man for not obeying the dictates of objective morality when he doesn't believe is an objective morality? Its like telling a man he'll taking the wrong road to soul-ls when he wants to get. to Summersidu. When the Commun- ists mnke promises and then break peace while at the same time they are fighting a war. they are being perfectly consistent from the point of view of their perverted morality, and. paradoxically, are in fact practising what Ithey preach. Further. you write: sponslble person in the west cares what political system or Ideology the Chinese or Russian people 1' man." u prefer, so long as they keep it to themselves and do not try to force it on their neighbors."
