Austria and West Germany are on the Eastern bordci-s, while to the Xvi:-tlirttttzl and back OI III” POIISIT I and Rtimaitian borders stands the Russian colossus. It can readily be seen, therefore, that even if the Western nations wanted to send troops into Hungary to do battle with the Russian in- vaders, it would be virtually impos- sible for them to do so without. fighting their way through long and weary stretches of hostile territory, i. most of It well defended. The only , practical entry would be by way of West Germany and Austria; but the latter country would almost certainly I refuse Western forces right of entry in view of its precarious position with respect to its Communist neigh- bors. Russian forces could occupy Austria at a moment's notice through Czechoslovakia and, of course, through Hungary. Air-borne troops might be able to get through in reasonable time; but it is doubtful whether these could be landed in sufficient numbers to deal with the powerful Soviet armies. All in all, it seems clear that nothing can be done for Hungary except at the risk of world war; and even in that event no help would got to the suffering people in time to save them from annihilation. As suggested previously in these col- umns, that is the supreme tragedy of the Hungarian situation. Kashmir And Mr. Nehru It is becoming increasingly clear that Prime Minister Nehru's oft ex- pressed devotion to the principle of the self-determination of peoples ap- plies more markedly to conditions outside his own responsibility than to those within it. The situation now prevailing in Kashmir is proof of this. Kashmir has been a source of trouble between India and Pakistan ever since the two states became in- dependent of British authority. The judgment of the United Nations was that the people of the disputed terri- tory should be given the opportunity of deciding for themselves, by means of free and supervised elections, their political attachments. At the beginning of the trouble Mr Nehru was in favour of the U.N. ruling; at least he said he was. In recent months, however, his views have changed: and now, without consult- ing the UN. Pakistan, or the people of Kashmir the Indian Government has taken Kashmir under its control. This was done by creating a pup- pet "Constituent Assembly" in Kash- mir favourable to the Indian point of view, during which process mem- hers of the previous Assembly, which had held out for a plebiscite in ac- I cordance with the UN. decision, i were placed under arrest, or so it Is reported in a news dispatch. In the opinion of Mr. Nehru, the resi- : dents of Kashmir bdcame Indian - citizens "voluntarily"; but, of course, this is stretching the truth beyond recognition, since the people were iven no direct say in the matter. , There was no plebiscite or any other (nurse by which they could express their views.

A Word For Israel Whatever may be said about the Israelis' policy in respect of their Arab neighbors--and much that is not particularly kind is being said these dais in the United Nations circles-the fact remains that Israel is the only really democratic state in the Middle East area. What is more, it is the only state in the region that is at all friendly with the Wcst or any part of it. Long Iwlnio fighting broke out In the SUEZ . ('anz1l arca, piactically every Arab st:-ttc hull come to some degree under Sovict influence. It is true that Iraq and Iran were, and still are in a technical sense, nicmlwrs oi the Baghdad Pact which nus sci up to maintain some sort of common front against possible aggres.-ion by the Soviet Union; but the purl has never had any. real p(ltil'I' Ilt'IllIl(l it except that provided by Rt-min and Turkey, and there has timer been any reason to believe that In a time of emergency either Iran or Iraq would honour their ('OIllI'lllIlliPl'IlS. As far as these coun- tries are concerned, it seems clear that their only reason for joining the alliance was that it might attract Western economic aid, as of course it did and in large quantity. It is two, also, that Jordan has had some sort of understanding with Britain; ' but here, too, it was merely a matter of enticing large grants of money from the British. In every way-political, social, economic-these states are governed by lcuclalistic concepts. Parliaments, where they exist at all, are mere caricatures of democratic institutions lacking both the will and the ability to encourage political freedom, or any other kind of freedom, among the masses. Israel. on the other hand, and to her credit, upholds and practise: the democratic formula. Perhaps not always in an ideal man- ner; but, then, what country does? Fine Reference Work The invaluable contribution which the Acadians of Prince Edward Island have made to our progress and development, materially and in more important ways, has been free- ly recognized by all sections of our people. An excellent reference work on this subject has now appeared. the author being Professor J. Henri Blanchard, LL.D., former vice princi- pal of Prince of Wales College, and well known as an Acadian historian. This work, now published in booklet form, is in French and gives com- prehensive historical sketches of all our Acadian parishes, as well as biographies of Acadian members of the clergy, of the secular professions and those who have participated prominently in public life. It covers past as well as present records and contains a wealth of information, in- volving a great deal of research on Dr. Blanchard's part. The booklet is illustrated and conveniently indexed, and should prove of great value and interest, not only to readers in this Province but to others in many parts of Canada and the United States.

Strangely, though, none of the politicians contesting this fails election made use of them for slandering the ancestors of his op- ponents. A survey reveals that modern buyers "ask more questions than did their predecessors." One reason for that is that there are many more things to ask questions about. 0 I 0 Major General Burns, the dis- tinguished Canadian soldier who has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the proposed United Nations police force to keep the peace in the Middle East, found his job as chief of the Palestine Truce Commission difficult enough.

The British connection with the Middle East is I long and honorable one. Many of the states there owe their origin and independence to us. In peace we have assisted them In many ways. financially. technically. and with our ad- ' visers in every sphere. In peace we have assisted them at great cost. Above all, we have endeavored to confer on them the benefits of justice and freedom from internecina wars. In the last few years the United States. Franco and we our- selves have been principally concerned with keeping the peace between Israel and her neighbors. In spite of all our endeavors, the frontiers of Israel have flickered with murder and armed raids. Egypt. the principal insti- gator of these incidents. had openly rejected and derided the Tripartlla declaration by which we. the French and the Americans sought to lmpou restraint. The last few days have brought events to a head. Israel. under the gravest prov- Where Churchill Stands sir Winston Writes To His Cousiuentt (Reuters News Agency, London) ocation. erupted against Egypt. In this country we had the choice of taking decisive ac- tion or admitting once and for all our inability to put an end to strife. Unfortunately, recent months have shown us that at present it is not possible to hope in this area for American co- operation on the scale and with the promptness necessary to control events. Her Majesty's Government. and the Govern- ment of France have reacted with speed. I regret profoundly that the Egyptian reaction has forced the present course on us. But I do not doubt that we can shortly lead our c ou r so to a just and victorious con- clusion. We intend to restore peace and order to the Middle East and I am convinced that we shall achieve our aim. The American alliance re- mains the keystons of our pol- icy. I am confident that our American friends will come to realize that, not for the first time, we have acted independ- the common good. peace. the Middle East and our national interest will surely benefit in the long run from the Government's re- solute action. They deserve our support. The Vital The importance of the Middle East in world politics stems from three factors. First. it contains thrcequsrters of the free world's all reserves-oil that fuels and lu- bricates the economies of Western Europe and especially Great Bri- tain. Second. it lies astride the air. sea and land routes to Asia, Africa and Europe. Third. it has gradu- ally become the key arena of the three-way struggle involving West- ern, nnt'onaIist. and Communist in- teresis. The central figure in the events that led to the current crisis is Gamel Abdel Nasser. the colonel who rose to power in Egypt in 1053. Britain then was seeking to pro- feel her vital oil sources and her bascs in the Middle East by court- ing Arab friendship. In the U. 'S. the new Eisenhower 'Arlmlnlstn- tlon, concerned that its predeceas- sors' support for Israel had seri- ously hurt American-Arab rela- tions. also adopted a policy of courting Arab friendship. France, struggling to maintain her position in Arab North Africa. went along with her allies. Nasser was an avowed national- ist, but he seemed to be a model'- ate. The West made a series of. concessions to him. Britain pulled out of the Suez Canal zone, surren- dering it to Egypt. During that period, Israel's posi- tion was precisely the opposite of the West's. Tel Aviv was convinc- ed that Nasser was a fanatic na- tionalist and that. like the rest of the Arab nationalists. his obkd was to wipe out Israel. For years the Arabs had been violating Isra- el's borders. boycotting Israel. blockadlng her ships. After Nas- ser came to power Israel adopted a policy of reprluls in force a- gainst the Arab incursions. Tel Aviv sharply molested the West's policy of fricndshi with Nasser. !llIl'l' IN 8!: gradually to converge with those of Israel.

After London and Paris agreed, Mr. Dulles "weakened it out of all recognition." as The Times of Lon- don put it. By mid-September Nasser was firmly in control of the canal.

A few weeks later in Jordan pro-Nasser elements won a parliamentary elec- lion and forced the King to agree to place the Jordanian Army under Nasscr's command in the event of war with Israel. By the end of last month London and Paris were convinced that unless Nasser were stopped. he would bar them from the canal. cut off their oil sources and take over their bun.
