Defence officials say that thcv are in no way to blame, since the rcspoiisilnlitv for research belongs to the National Science Foundation. Officials of that body claim that the Inuit lies in the refusal of the armed .<crvices to pay sufficient heed to IIl(‘ll' recommendations. Democratic leaders in Congress and elsewhere lay the blame square- ly on the shoulders of the President and his advisers. If the Democrats had won the last Presidential elec- tion. they claim, the Russians would have been left far behind in the scientific race: so far, ind(‘T('~d' that their little Sputnik would have gone almost unnoticed. Republican lead- ers, on the other hand. blame the Democrats who. they contend. cut down the President's budget so drastically that the technologists engaged in building moons, rockets and the like just about ran out of money. I The President himself. to his credit. is blaming no one or no group in particular. confining his com- ments to expressions of regret for past failures and of hope for better things in the future. Perhaps the truth is that the blame must be at- tributed to national complacency, the belief that American technology could never be surpassed by that of any country in the world. If that complacency is now shattered, the launching of the first satellite by the Russians may turn out to be. as President Eisenhower put it the other day. "a very good thing". Answer To The Beep Under the above heading the Christian Science M 0 n i t o r com- ‘ ments upon Prime Minister Mac- millan's visit to President Eisen- hower and hails it as one of the most important things that could happen in free-world history. Even before the talks begin, says the Monitor, this Anglo-American de- cision to hold top-level discussions at Washington now instead of next February has had at least eight welcome consequences: 1. It has put sputnik in a new focus. 2. It has taken half the voltage out of present Soviet threats in the Middle East. 3. It has cut deeply into (‘om- munist profits from the Suez trag- edy. 4. It has pared down Moscow's gains from more than two years of ‘-‘smiling cold war“ since the Geneva "summit meeting". 5. It has sidetracked the Krem- lin's recent maneuvers to bring the United States into isolated talks with the Soviet Union. talks which could have caused anxiety and con- fusion t.hroughout the Western Al- liance, let alone in Britain. 6. It has signaled to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that measures to reinvigorate NATO are in the making——perhaps a NATO research center. for which many of the Western Allies have been hoping both for military and nonmilitary reasons.’ , 7. It marks national and official dlsillusion with "go it alone"-—which has won neither of the two major allies lasting gains on eitherthe nu- clear or the diplomatic fmnt. 8.

But the meeting also takes place in an atmosphere of more than cousinly cordiality engendered by the captivating visit to the United States of Britain's (and Canada's) young Queen Elizabeth and her con- sort, Prince Philip. "Rarely have the inexorable and the opportune combined so im- pressively to prompt nations to act wisely and strongly" ‘concludes the Monitor. “Much must be accom- plished to bring present hopes to fruition. But much has already been accomplished by moving now not only against Soviet machina- tions but against our own past mis- takes.‘ Danger OI Dictatorship How much longer can France continue to go from one political to another without coming under some form of dictatorship‘? Many thoughtful Frenchmen must be asking one another that question these (lays. We have lost« track of the number of Uovernnicnts which have held office in the post war period. But the average life of Gov- ernment has been about four or five months, although a few have man- aged to survive a bit longer. Luck- ily. under the French constitution Parliament does not have to be dis- solved with each government defeat. If that were not so, bedlam would have set in long ago. At the time of writing no leader has been found able to form a min- istry to succeed that of Bourges- Maunoury. And it is hard to see how anyone would be anxious to as- sume the post. Practically every prominent politician has had his turn. and several have had more than one. There is apparently no one in the country who—-even if he could persuade the various parties to give him initial support—could expect to stay in office for more than a few weeks. There are increasing signs that the public is getting sick and tired of this state of affairs. And public weariness in political matters, when .it becomes widespread, can easily lead, and in the past has led. to gov- ernment by strong-arm methods, that is to say, by dictatorship. The French people may soon have to choose between creating some stan- dard of national unity in a multi- party system and the abrogation, at least temporarily, of their demo- cratic rights.

Sir.—We are all readinn and SKULL CAP I OTTAWA REPORT Surprises In Parliament By Patrick Otttawa :Thc first days of the Throne Speech debate. that tra- ditional caich-all discussion which opens each session of Parlia- mcni, produced a galaxy of sur- prises. The first was when Opposition Leader Louis St. Laurent de- clared ihat his Liberal Party would abandon the traditional role of a parliamentary opposi- lion It would not, he said, vote against the Conservative Govern- ment. Thereafter his supporters sitt- ing around him. who should have been ready like a wolf-pack to pounce on any slip by the gov- found that with their ly bark but could not . The Conservatives all but sang: "Who's afraid of the big. bad performing seal?" Another but welcome surprise was the announcement that the $40,000 Nobel Peace Prize had been awarded to Hon. Lester B.

N UNI-‘IAR ADVANTAGE I don't think so. I believe that he will work to win the leader- ship, and hope for a few months before the election in which to consolidate his position and put some life into his supporters. Prime Minister Diefenbnket had less than six months be tween his election to the Conser- valve leadership and the gener- al election. I don't believe that he would normally consider it t we Khrushchev’ Alan Nicholson either desirable or necessary to try to take advantage of the Lib- erals‘ unpreparedness by jockey- ing for a snap vole. But the strange behaviour of the Liber- al Opposition in Parliament has not been normal. and arm-chair quarterbacks of 9 ' scene have been speculating on how soon Prime . inister 1)iefen- baker would be forced to go to th e po . REMEMBER SPUTNIK? The greatest surprise of par- liament's opening days was that, among all the political in- fighting during Question Periods and the Throne Debate. the Rus- sian satellite was forgotten. Yet surely Paul Martin. fre- quently acting Foreign Minister during the former Liberal admnl- istrntion, had not forgotten his brilliant suggestion at the Dis- armament Talks two years a 0 when. foreseeing Sputnik and the I logical developments to flow from Sputnik. be urged that disarma- ment should be regulated to div- .n N .- er not existing weapons but wea- pons not then created. , And surely Sarnia's J. W. Mur- g phy had not forgotten his long parliamentary battle to have re search recognised and encour- aged by the Liberal Govern- ment? ' , Both those politicians were fore casting the result of our do-noth- . in: policy in scientific develop- ment. Both could foresee Sput- nik and the scientific threat to our freedom.

OUR YESTERDAYS From The Guardian Files TWENTY-HVE YEARS AGO (Oct. 24 1932) Manifesting a keen interest in the possibilities for the develop- ment of an air passenger service operating from N.S., to Charlottetown during‘ the coming winter. prominentl officials of Canadian Airways Limited arrived at New Glan- gow for a conference on the mat- ter. Among the officials was Dr. J.§. Jenkins. owner of the Upton Airport, Charlottetown. A resolution protesting the present high rates charged for auto transportation on the car ferry was passed at the meeting of the Summerside Board of Trade last evening. Also under discussion was the licensing of an airport at Summerside so Canadian Airways w o u l d make Summerside a port of call for air passenger service.
