Then the capsule would reenter the earth’s atmosphere and be picked up in a recovery mission like Gemini's. anned orbit- is a design A- major problem has been that of developing enough power to send this enormous piece of hardware on its way. Titan 3-C generated a booster thrust of 2.5 million pounds, approxt- mately a million pounds more than the previous most powerful missile, the Saturn. Actually, the Titan boosters can be lengthened with more fuel segments,. and can be “clustered” to produce a combined thrust of 10 million pounds or more. Yesterday's experiment has been hailed as a complete success. It may be of concern to all of us that it was achieved on this, and not the other side of the Iron Curtain. Viet Nam Problem It is obvious that if the Common- wealth leaders themselves’ could not agree on the advisability of having Britain’s Prime Minister Wilson head a summit peace mission on Viet Nam, the Communists would pay scant attention to such a mission's activities. Nor would President John- son’s offer of full U.S. cooperation with the mission tend to convince them that it wasn’t on the side of the “imperialist aggressors.” There ap- pears to be merit in the Kenya spokesman’s contention that before any mission is undertaken, the views of the contending parties in South Viet Nam be ascertained as to their willingness to accept the mission's makeup. That micht be an impossible demand to meet;-but it just serves to underline the extreme difficulty of | the problem. 4 If face-saving were really desired ‘on both sides, the solution would be easier. No doubt the Russians would like to see the contest ended, for its continuance can do them no good. But the Americans are committed to their refusal to negotiate directly with the Viet Cong government. The Chinese, on their part, seem to be enjoying all the fruits of a successful war without having to do any of the : that the Russians are traitors, and that the ~ sors who should be condemned br everybody. This serves their _propa- | ganda purpdsés both at-home and abroad-: Before the London conference "| met, the Canadian and Indian prime ministers came up with a proposal that there be another pause in the bombing of North. Viet Nam and that negotiations be opened between rep- resentatives of the*U.S. and North Viet Nam. with Viet Cong represen- tatives included in the North Viet Nam group. Mr. Pearson has adhered view that there on. both sides and he may consistently to his should be a ceasefire as a prelude to talks, well prove to be right. Certainly it has become evident that no nation can hope to dictate a settlement on its own t in this conflict. and that the longer it goes on the more danger. there 1s of it developing into an even bigger war. A Golden Opportunity More than a third of the present Senate membership “is made—up of men and women who are or soon will be 75. Very few. have so far express- ed their intentions, but it is antici- ,pated that as many as 25 will take the $8.000 a vear pension which Par- liament has offered them, and retire. This means, as the Fredericton Gleaner points out, that Prime Min- __ister Pearson, if he is still in office, > will have the opportunity to appoint a greater number of senators at any one time than has ever been done since the Senate was first constituted |_in 1867. way, but the prospect is, obvious. And with it gaes the responsibility of getting rid, once and for all, of the old discredited method of mak- ing partisan appointments t this office. Mr. Pearson’s appointments to date have all been tarred with the partisan brush. In this he is not singular—it has been the rule rather than the exception since Confedera- tion. But he now has the chance to adopt new criteria for the block of appointments he may soon be called upon to maké, and it will be lament- able if he shirks his duty in this respect. Mr. Pearson would no doubt stances the Opposition would have been justified in insisting on some | commitment of this kind when the | i i pension legislation was before the ; Commons. course—the measure has gone } through both Houses and received | royal assent from the Governor Gen- eral. But the obligation is still there. tinued on the basis of partisanship rather than of meritorious achieve- ment, it will end ail prospects of Senate reform and give those who are agitating for its abolition a verv strong argument indeed.

MANY CROSS-CURRENTS A host of cross-currents will be at work, many of them re- flecting total indifference as to how Moscow or Peking happen to be getting on, or whether Washington and London facing a tougher. line from Mos- cow. To many of the small and newly independent nations, al! this sort of thing is irrelevant to their own over-riding need for help from whatever source. Thus, they have little regard for the verbal lip-service they | may have to give to the West or the differing brands of com- munism to get such help.

SOME. DISCORD Within Africa itself, there is some discord about signs that Moise Tshombe of the Congo, only recently an outcast for end- ing left-wing rule with the help of white mercenaries, is coming back into favor. Then there is_ Indonesia's growing swing to China, its con- _ tinued pressure against Malay- ' sia, and China's continued test- ing of nuclear devices. But .if growing poverty is the main concern, there is also unanimity about ‘such black- and-white targets as South Af- rican race bias and Portugal's colonial role on the African con- | tinént ¥ 3 | Another key topic will be how to make more effective use of the United Nations, especially | for small countries that get a2 | lot of UN help. | The paradoxes involved are | indicated by the fact that Ben Bella and China's Chou En-Lai | have indicated they see eye to | eye about the theory of revolu- tion.
