TUESDAY, AUGUST as, 1957. lPAGE 4 Under Communist GUHS' The Diefenbaker Government has 'scted 'Wisely in making it clear that Canada will not become involved in liglsnd Communist Chinese over the is- viillands of Quemoy and Matsu, on the outhern coast of Communist China. We have no commitments there, and no need to involve ourselves in a dis- pute over the territory. The, United States isrpledged to defend Formosa and the neighboring Peacadore is- lands, but in regard to Quefnoy and the other offshore islands, the Eisen- 5? bower administration has followed a ; policy aimed at keeping the Reds in ‘i doubt whether the 7th Fleet—now or- 'll dercd into the Far East to take nor- mal precautionary measures—would go into action if the Cpmmunists tried to take them. The heavy bombard- ? ments reported over the weekend may :be the prelude to an all-out attempt of thiskind, or they may be just another manoeuvre to I sound out free world opinion: , , Garrisoned by Chinese Nationalist soldiers, Quemoy has a population of 5 43,500 civilians who seem to, be , a sturdy lot. They have survived 'nearly a decade of intermittent bombard- ment, turning their barren soil mean- ,while/ilnto a self-supporting farmland. “Little of China’s "good‘ earth” ‘was available to them.

But Ithey have always lived dangerously, and their fate now is more uncertain than ever. They are like a community perched on signs pointing to an impending ma- jor eruption. ‘ A U. S. Farm Subsidies: Contrary to earlier expectations, the US. Congress is now expected to enact a major farm‘bill in this election year. Under this measure, growers of three basicrcrops-corn, cotton and rice-‘will be less con- trolled byu—and less dependent on-- the government. The measures L passed by the Senate» and-House, : 'with reconcilable variations, call for . = ‘corn’plice‘supports of '65 per cent of parity and no restrictions on acre- ageflt would give cotton growers a choice“ for the next two years be- ' tween 80 per cent of parity with/low acreage or 65 per cent with'higher duce=price supports for rice to 65 per cent, with relaxed\acreage con- trols. all these crOps at 75 per cent of parity—a figure representing their relation between prices of things the farmer sells and those of things he Washington comment tends to rate the proposed changes, if adopted, as a political victory for Agriculture Secretary Benson, who has steadily ‘ sought lower price supports. He has stood firm against an earlier House version which would have kept higher federal subsidies. Cotton and rice growers faced the ‘ prospect- that mounting surpluses would, under present law, force a 22 per cent cut in cotton acreage and a 45 Err cent cut in land devoted to rice. tsis/coorcling to the Christian V =the dispute between the Nationalist ° » kéted with sandy soil, badly eroded, fortress.

' L [Science Monitor. few satisfied with present US. people are farm policies, and the basic inconsistency of subsidizing larger and larger sur- pluses is being constantly exhibited. “There are,” it adds, “good reasons for some federal aid to farmers. They are vulnerable to the hazards of wdather. They cannot, like many other producers, control their prices. Tariff protection, provided for many manufacturers, seldom helps farm- ers, most of whom are competing in the world market. ' Personal hard- ships and social losSes can result from wholesale desertion of‘the land. But there is much evidence that the mech- anical revolution on the faYm is proceeding with reasonable smooth- ness. And there is danger that sub 'sidies' will. be‘ politically abused. _ Legislation looking. toward greater freedom and efficiency in American agriculture should be widely wel- corned.” An Old Disease Health experts consider it likely that another wave of Asian flu will arrive this fall or next winter. Their belief, hOvVever, is that, if it does come, it will be much milder than last year’s outbreak. In this connection, the results of research by specialists at~the Uni- versity of "Michigan are of interest. They seem to furnish evidence that Asian flu swept the North Ameri- can‘Continent 70 years ago. This, in turn,- opens up the possibility of making a single vaccine to protect against all forms of influenza. ’ Dr. Fred M. Davenport, a mem- ber of the Michigan University’s team, states that there are only “four families” of influenza which afflict human beings. It .used to be thought that all the strains, of which there are many, were capable of attacking mankind. “Armed: .Wifb'h ' the , information; that a person’s first attack of influ- enza leaves an indelible mark on his bloodstream”,, Dr. Davenport re- ports, “specialists took blood samples from patients inst when Asian flu was firstshowing itself in the Orient. Following a report from Dr. J. Moldon‘ of Holland that Asian anti- bodies were found in the blood of older citizens, the researchers began testing Michigan’s? older citizens, these then in their 80’s. Through laboratory tests they determined that these patients had actually contracted Asian flu in an epidemic .Iof 188990, as the antibodies were the same as in the serumflown from the epidemic, areas in the Far Eas ”.

In Lit-tie Rock, the way is legally open. for Negro children to go back to school. A federal appeals court in St. Louis has in- validated : lower judge‘s decision to allow a th-year cooling-“off period before continuing integra- tion. The judge, Harry J. Lemley, had said in effect that the pres- ence of troops in Central High School-they were put lhere at President Eisenhower's order to protect the nine Negroes — had produced a tense atmosphere that made teaching difficult. The St. Louis Appeal Court didn‘t think this was, the point. The majority opinion said: "The issue plainly comes down to the question of whether overt public resistance, including mob protest. constitutes sufficient cause to nullify an order of the federal court directing . . . in- tegration.” MAY CLOSE SCHOOLS n it could be but ofif by mob' action in Little Rock, the court said, other places could to the same. So the situation in the capital of Arkansas is back where it was I year ago. Speculation is that Governor Orvavl Flaubus may call a session of the state legislature to pass a law that would permit schools to be closed rather than accept Ne- gro students. This is what is planned in parts of Virginia. There the cities of Nonfolk, Newport News and Char- lottesville. and Arlington County, a suburban area of Washington, have been ordered to desegregate next month. IKE CAUTIOUS Should there be violence again, the government is believtd to be reluctant to call out the army 8 second time. Eisenhower's action came in for much criticism in the North aswell as the South. 4, So far this year both he and the justice department have taken almost mo part in solving the school problem. The courts have been left to carry the load. Critics say the president should use his personal and official per- suasion to help the Negro cans and that the justice department should be ready to act more vig- ornusly againsl troublemakers. ‘ At his Dress conference in _ everyone that was. discoMonted, ' baker was accurately to , the Welfiare State.
