Mr. Shcp- i I llov. The essence of the l-Iiscnhuiver doctrine is that Russia must stay out of this high tension area: if she does not. any country falling victim to Communist aggression may rely on American support. The essence of the Bulganin doctrine is that the United States nuist kccp hands off I the Middle East: failing that, any victim of American ”impcrlalism" can look with confidence tn Russian aid. Mr. Shcpilov has combined the two; neither great power should iii- tcrfcre directly or iiidireclly: ncillicr should supply aims to Middle East- ern countries. l-It-oiiomic aid should he organized co-operatixely a H fl should carry no political or military I strings. ' On the face of it. this is a reason- u able proposition. in n d undoubtedly will sound attractive to Asian and African peoples. For this very rea- son the West would be ill advised to dismiss it oiil of hand or take the position that it is impossible to negotiate on itliese proposals. l'n- fnrtunatelv, however. no set of Soviet proposals can he accepted at face value and without careful cv- aininaliori. For one thing. the West- ern powers have bases and alliances in the Middle East. which the Shell- ilnv doctrine would require them to dismantle. As the Soviet (inverti- merit, deiiies that it has either. it cannot profess to be offering any genuine sacrifice. But it is carrying A step forward its long campaign against the Baghdad Fact and also, in view of Turkey's position, against the North Atlantic alliance. As noted by the Winnipeg Free Press. any agreement reached for pacifying the troubled Middle East U9. area must go beyond Mr. Shcpilovs proposals and beyond those of Mr. Eisenhower and Mr. Bulganin as -4 well. All have chosen to ignore the Arab-Israeli quarrel which has so - long kept the Middle East in ferment. I Any realistic program for the area . must. make provision for the proper policing of the Israeli frontiers by a United Nations. force. There should also be prior agreement by the Mid- dle Eastern countries that. in the event of trouble elsewhere in the region, the nations concerned will Igree to receive United Nations troops until I settlement. can be at. bined. Unless this is done there may well be a vacuum in the Middle East but. there will he no quiet at the centre of the. vacuum. Sinai's Hoiiesi Shrine An oasis of peace in the Sinai's gaunt; granite mountains iodays fecls the distant rumble of Near East strife. Though armies have advanced and retreated across the pciiiiisiiia for centuries, R historic monastery It the foot of Mount Sinai has al- ways enjoyed complete, puotcctioii. According to the National Geogra- phic Society. one of the monks was mildly surprised, not too long ago, to' learn about World Wars I and Ii. In recent weeks. however, the United Nations has convoyed an emergency shipment of food to St. Catherine's yMonastery. With concurrence of the Israeli and Egyptian Governments. the U.N. also sent I scholar there to verify the condition of priceless old biblcal texts in the monastery's Ibrary.

A University of California expedition in 1947 found tools esti- mated to be liltl.00(l years old. indi- cating the presence of people of the Old Stone Age. The expedition dis- covered the site of an ancient port. apparently used by Egyptian tur- quoise miners about 1500 BC. it was a vividly remembered people. liowever. who gave the Sinai its lasting place in history. The Children of Israel wandered there after their flight from Egypt be- tween H30 and lllbfl B.C.. and Moses rcccivcd lhc Ten Commandments on a mountain somewhere in the in- terior. Several sites are claimed for the law-giving. Among them are Gelwl Sci-bal and (label llclial. which is 33 miles south of the penlnsulak chief city. El 'Arish. The weight of tradition points to 8,000-foot Cebel Musa (Mount Sinai). The water sup- ply and adjacent plain could have supported many thousands of Israel- ites. Pilgrims have flocked to Mount Sinai since the dawn of Christiaiiity. The devout believe angels transport- ed the hody of the martyred maid. flatlicriiic. to the summit. Queen llclcna, according to tradition, vis- itcd the mountain shrine in M2 Al). and ordered a monastery built on the supposed site of the Burning P-ush from which an angel spoke to Moses. The Roman emperor Jus- tinian fortified the monastery with huge granite blocks in the 6th cent- ury. Today, the fortress-monastery exists as a self-contained little town ncvcr captured. never despoiied. inside the walls are a church. a mosque, inonks' cells. a refectory. a hakciy. mill. olive press. the famed library and a resthouse for visitors. An old iviiidlass. formerly used to lift visitors into the monastery, low- ers bread daily to Wanderers in need of food. New Canada Year Book The (Tanada Year Book, 1956, has made its appearance. and will be welcomed for the many new articles it contains. as well as for the customary wealth of factual and statistical information for which, in the past. this publication has had I well deserved reputation. The new edition has discarded the half-cent- ury old cover for an attractive light blue buckram, bearing the Canadian coat of arms, and has widened its type measure and reduced the lead- ing between the lines in order to accommodate more wordage. per printed page. its objective remains constant, however -a- to portray the essential elements of Canada's growth in I comprehensive. factual style within the covers of- I single volume. Among special features incorpor- ated in the new edition are articles on Mapping and Charting in Canada. the National (".apii.al Plan. Scientific Management of Game Fish in Can- 'ada's National Parks. Geophysics and AStf0rl0m.V: Mental Health, Tu- berculosis. Poliomylctis Vaccine, the Fedeml-Provincial Forestry Agree- ments. Seasonal Unemployment. Can- ada's Mincral industry, Traffic on ilin f;i-eat i.akcs-St. Lawrence Sea- way. and Marketing of Fami-Pro- duccd Foods. There are also special new articles dealing with the Privy ('ouncil and (Iabinet Secretariat in its relation in the development of Cabinet fiovernmcnt. and with Fin- ancial Administration at Ottawa. In addition. many features and re- visions have hccn introduced in various chapters. Among these are ii brief historical sketch of the Cell- sus. an enlarged survey of scientific, medical and industrial research: an analysis of trends and developments in the fisheries; gas, pipeline and hydro-electric developments. and I newly integrated account of broad- casting in Canada. Published by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the new edition runs to some 1.2!) pages and is available through the Queen's Printer, Ottawa. At 34.00 a copy it is undoubtedly the best book bargain on the market. EDITORIAL NOTES The price of Jellied eels.
