A Sinister Speech s Premier Nikita Khrushchev has always been a boastful man. But until lately most of his boasting was onthe subject of Russia’s ascendancy in the scientific field and in industrial out- put which, according to Mr. Khrush- chev, will exceed that of the United States in another ten years or so. 3 Only in the convivial atmosphere of Kremlin ,“parties", when he had taken a glass too much of his favorite bev- erage. was he inclined to boast about is Soviet armed might. ' This relatively harmless pastime seems to have given place to some- thing more sinister. In a recent major ‘ speech, the Russian leader declared that the .Soviet \Union and “other peaceyloving” countries would utterly destroy the United States and Britain in the event of a war started by the “imperialists”. “N 0 one can defeat the Communist community,” he shouted. This is reminiscent of the vapour- - ings of Adolf Hitler in the early months of 1939. It is to be hoped that it does not presage a similar calamity, but the possibility cannot bé ignored. It‘is foolish to argue that no one in his right mind would start a war these days. There is no assurance, for one ' thing, that Khrushchev is in his “right mind”; and, in any event, it is possible that he believes that a sud- den unexpected stroke by the Soviet Union would cripple‘. the Western powersbafore they had time to retali- ate, Hitler, it will be recalled, believed something of the same sort. ‘ It'is possible, too, that Khrush- chev’belieVes that a war would be con- fined to \i‘conventional” weapons in Which the Russians, by all accounts, are vastly superior to the West. He might really believe, as he has claim- ed more than once, that a war would not destroy or badly. damage allthe participants but only the “capitalis- tic" powers. And. of. course, hemay _ have it in his head that the Western porters are getting ready to attack ~ the Soviet Union without warning and feels,,therefore, that it would be wiserfor the Soviet Unionto take the initiative. , . There is no telling what goes on " in the minds of Khrushchev and his associates. Therein is one of the great dangers of the moment. ‘ Food In Storage, The United States’ Government has done everything that the in- genuity of experts could devise to reduce agricultural surpluses which cost the American taxpayers billions of dollars annually. There is, for example, the soil 'bank program whereby farmers are paid so much an acre for keeping good land out of production. There is the practice of disposing of su lus products at “cut-m ” prices; and there is the progra of bartering commodities in exchange for the currencies of the receiving ecuntries. Yet, despite [these practices and programs, the surplus now is as big as it has been at any time in the past. In fact, ac- cording ‘to Clarence Francis, chair- man of a committee appointed by the President to look into the whole system of surplus disposal, the prob- lem is growing. In a recent report Mr. Francis stated that “we have tended to look upon the problem of our surpluses as a temporary one, and I wish I could say that as a result of our- surplus-disposal. programs our sur- pluses were declining or that they could be expected to reach more manageable-proportions in the near .future. The contrary, however, is the case.” Since the United States’ Govern- ment pays for these huge surpluses year after year, and since there is no hope that they can be disposed of in the normal way of business, one would imagine that it! would be ‘ thought advisable to put them in some sort of international food bank, whence‘they might be distri- buted to the countries which need them on some kind of long-term credit. Prime Minister Diefenbaker suggested some such program Seve- ral months ago and intimated that Canada would be willing to co- operate in every way possible, Which s. would mean putting its share of food in the bank from time to time. It is shameful that millions of tons pf food should be doing no one any good, much of it going to waste, while half of the world’s population is hungry most of the time. There surely must be some way to dispose of unwanted surpluses without wrecking normal marketing proce- dures. Moscow And Pelplng Specialists in Soviet affairs. in- cluding Harrison E. Salisbury of the New. Ypl‘k Times who. spent several years in vMoscow, believe that Premier Khrushchev's sudden deci- sion not to attend a summit meeting in the UN. Security Council, after Saying that he would, was dictated by Mao Tye-tong, the leader or Communist China. Indeed, in a re- cent article, Mr. Salisbury went so for as to auggesttbalt in sillin- portant issues these; days .Mr. Khrushchev. virtually takes his or- ders from Pelplng. ‘ The theory is that thelChlneser leaders have informed the Russian Premier that if he does not take a, more aggressive attitude toward the West and does not do more than he has done hitherto towards obtaining a seat for China in the United Nations, they might be. tempted to folldw the example of President Tito of Yugoslavia and work in- dependently of Moscow. This, the argument goes, ,is the. very thing that Khrushdlev does not want to- see happen. Should Peiping ever raise the flag of divergent Communism— of a new and more grandiose Tito- ism—Moscow’s position in Eastern Europe could be undermined. . It is supposed, further, that the Chinese leaders might, if they don’t ‘ have their way in matters of broad . policy, throw their support to these in Moscow who would like to get rid - of Mr. Khrushchev. If these apecula- ' tions are correct, the relations. between Moscow and helpingr are obviously not as deeply rooted in political agreements as has been generally supposed.

' Such a; courmittee. he said, should probe into details; gues- tion witnesses. and study papers. with a view to discovering and halting . any waste or extrava- gance in government spending of the taxpayers heavy payments. Every time Erince Albert’s M. P. made this Masai, Liberal Cabinet Ministers regularly coun- tered it with the assertion that such a committee was tmneces- ‘sary and would discover neither waste nor extravagance nor in- competence, because under the Liberal Governmrant such human failings could not exist. With the turn of the wheel, that private member from Prince Al-’ bert has now become Prime Min- ister of Canada. And in that role, John Dlefenlbelrer has now set up a“ committee of M.P.’s of all . parties tostudy the Public Ac- counts. I Last week that committee he. sat]. Work.

It is still incom- plete after nearly ten years of work, while it should homily have been finished in three years: the estimated cost of $8,000,000 has already been more than dowb. lerl. The drama was unfolded in de- vastatingly brilliant manner by a new Conservative MP. from Toronto, Mr. David J. Walker. He skillfully employed tactics which'I have never seen used before in a parliamentary com~ nut-tee here. ‘ Instead of every communes member soloing questions to our- ten irrelevant enquiry, with no over-all pattern being folldwed, it was agreed that one member should alone conduct. the chief examination of the Witnesses.

Movie is yet to come. But at!- ter this sensational opening per- formance, it was obvious that the Committee on. Public Accounts would indeed live upto the long- ago forecast of Prince Albert’s M.P., John Diefembalrer. Win or lose, a man who gam- bles boldly can usually count on gaining the admiration of the British people. The accura'cy'of this political truism has rarely been better demonstrated than by the pro. lie reaction to Prime Minister lac- mill'an’s deliberately spectacular gesture in journeying to Athens and Ankara to discuss the Cyprus problem. Despite considerable reserva— tions about the possible results of the garrible. British newspa- pers and the British public in 'geueral appear virtually unan- imous in feeling that it has been one worth taking. A MAN WHO TRIES Labor party ofificials are the first to admit that the prime min- ister’s sunprise decision to visit Greece and Tunkey has captured the imagination of the public. Said one oliflcial: “He is ob- viously «trying to ease the tension in Cyprus and you can’t criticize a man for trying." ' Before leaving for the Greek and Turkish capitals, Macmillan Mocmillon’s Prestige Rises By Ken Mother-a] ' Canadian Press Staff Writer said his chief aim was to achieve a permanent cessation of violence in Cyprus. He did not take with him any new political plan for the island and did not expect to achieve any detailed new agree- ment during his journey. The success of his visits to Athens and Ankara will largely depend on whether he has been able to convince the two govern- ments to support British pleas for the abandonment of violence as a political weapon. Without this support, there appears little likelihood of re—establishing or- der in Cyprus, where strife be- tween Greeks and Turks has claimed more than 150 lives duro ing’thre last two months. SENSE 0F OCCASION On the other hand, if Macmil- lan's visit results in a tripartite condemnation of violence, then he will have gone a long way toward gaining the "cooling of ” period which is a key provision of the British plan for Cyprus drafted last June by Governor Sir Hugh Foot. The general racclaim that'hals greeted the prime nunister’s jour- ney to the eastern Mediterranean demonstrates his ability to give a sense of occasion and a feeling of success to both his country and his party. This ability to project an im- pression of cheerful confidence is undoubtedly one of the factors behind the gradual swing of elec- tonal opinion in favor of the Con- servative party that has been in evidence in Britain in recent weeks. ' PATIENT FIRMNESS Another factor has been Mac- millan's deft handling of the surn- mit meeting negotiations with Premier Khrushchev of, Russia. His concise, clear notes to the Russian leader and the patience and firmness he has shown in an- swering summit questions in the Commons has given opposition members little opportunity to criticize. Even the apparent collapse of negotiations for summit talks has brought little censure on Macmil- lan’s head. The general feeling in Britain appears to be that he is sincere in his expressed desire to reach the summit. The tend- enoy in London is to blame the United States and ,Russia for summit delays rather than the British government. , Radio waves tram the stars constantly [bombard the earth. To tune. them in better, the United States Navy has announc~ ed plans for a radio telescope that will be the biggest in the western world. Costing $60 mn- l'lon, the huge instrument should enable astronomers to probe deeper than ever before in- to the mysteries of the universe. The new radio telescope will be not up at the National Radio As- tronomy Observatory near Green Bank, West Virginia. The West Virginia mountains provide ex- ceptionally low radio-noise levels dash an important consideration when scientists are trying to detect the faint murmurs of the stars. CURVED 0R FHAT? The instrument, capable of pick ing up radio signals originating billions of billions of miles away, may help astronomers to answer many important questions. For, example, it may show whether the universe is curved or list. it IWhisper's From The Stars National Geographic Society _ g may also indicate whether the cosmos is infinite, or comes to an end somewhere. It may also support—or weaken —mh.e theory that the uniVemse with all its stars, planets, and gases was created in one huge, ex- plosion. If the radio telescope finds no galaxies (large clusters of stars) beyond a distance of six billion light-yearns, scientists may accept the exploding universe hy- pothesis. A lighbyear is about 1!: trillion miles. Radio astronomy stems from the work of Karl J anusky, an eng- ineer for the Bell Telephone Lab oraltonies. When he began his ep- ochsl research, Januskry had no idea that he would make one of the most important discoveries o f20th-century science. All he was trying to do was fin d out what caused static on , trans- atlantic raidictelephone messages. J ansky noted a peculiar noise: ‘Very weak...very steady, caus- ing a hiss in the phones.’ Method- ically. be olinrinatcd one possible . the Milky Way—dalbout 26,000 light cause alter another. Finally in 1933 be announced that the soume of the trouble lay at the centre of -years away! The surprising discovery rev- olutionized the ancient salience of astronomy. No longer did astron- omens have to depend on optical instruments tall-one: they had sud- denly been given a wholly new tool for rfindlug out what lies in the distant reaches of space. “ SOUND FROM CLOUDS They began building radio telescope, instruments some- thing like television sets but many thousands of times more sensi- tive. With this new equipment, they discovered that radio waves reach the earth not only from the sun and near-by planets, but from > patches of faintly luminous gas and from clouds of hydrogen drifting among distant stars. They also found thousands of ‘nadio Marsh—source's of power- tul radio waves that rarely cor- respond to anything visible with an optical telescope. These radio stans may be galaxies colliding at enormous distances from earth but scientists are still unsure. Many Drugs For Hay, Fever Herman N.
