Time For Remembrance No one has a right, in this year of grace 1962. to feel comfortable on Remembrance Day. All remem. brance of war's dead must. if it be authentic, have a dimension of judgment; judgment on the ways of men that make for war and judg- ment of what men make of the op. portunities bought for them by the dead in their dying. Again on this Remembrance Day, we shall all be before the bar of our own cons science. Let us not pride ourselves in being adept at evading the judg- ment which is in remembrance. We have practiced this comfort- Ing evasion too often in the past, making Remembrance Day primar- ily an occasion for patriotic emo- tionalism. Patriotism is all very well. but as a great patriot who died for her country in the Second World War truly said, it is not enough. Solcniuit'y, the deep solemn- lty of a generation under judgment, ought to be our mood in our formal acts of remembrance of war’s dead tomorrow. It should, of course, be a day of thanksgiving for what the fallen have given us. But let us be clear about what that gift was. It wasn’t comfort. it wasn‘t ease. it wasn’t security against any of the ills that flesh is heir to. It was. as one of them has said. “a dream. born in a herdsman's shod": an ideal that has - still to be realized. An ideal mag- nificently worth fighting for, but that has nothing whatever to do with profit or loss in the material sense. “We were put here,” as Robert Louis Stevenson reminded us, “to do what service we can, for honor and not for hire.” ()ur war dead. by their example, are an in- spiration to that kind of service: but we must. rise to their level to profit by it. The hearts of many peoples will be united in the brief. golden mo- ments of this year's Remembrance Day services. Let us hope that this will prove prophetic of deliverance, at long last. from the servitude of the sword. Let us hope that it will inspire, in all of us——not only grati- tude, however keen and heartfelt. but the resolve to assure future peace in true acts of rededication. A Psychopathic Case When a nation, the most popu- lous on earth. has to live continual- ly as a pariah among other nations, it is likely to develop a psychopathic complex. This has been the role forced on (‘ommunist China by the United Nations. and the events now happening on the China-India bor- der may have a very direct con- nection with this depressing 'fact. Certainly there is growing evid- once that the Chinese Communists live in their own world of morbid phantasy. They live in fear of at- tack and actually believe that they face a huge military pincer move- ment from the forces of Chiang Kai-shek on Formosa and the Indian forces—all of this instigated and supported by the United States. The placing of American troops in South Vietnam and Thailand, for them, gave strong support to this theory. This summer the Indians moved into forward positions on the bor- der-Pa defensive action, as India reasonably maintains; but it was done despite open and strong Pe- king warnings that this Would bring . I. response. The fear motif again: m one test that India might be I I I I Toronto. 425 University Ave. ; Street. I West ‘ preparing to take advantage of China‘s weak economic position. The countermot'e into India’s northeast perhaps is seen in Peking as “proof” that despite its troubles China is still a great power, has a historic prestige, and must warn and “pun- ish" tlie Indians for pushing at the (‘hinese pockets in the Himalayas. What China is hoping to get out of this offensive, presumably, is a better negotiating and bargaining position. But it may not be content with that. The prizes in the un- declared border war are more than a few inhospitable mountain peaks for the greater glory of (‘hiua. They concern the immediate future of the Himalayan states of Nepal, Sikkim, and Bhutan, of Burma, of oil-rich Assam, of the whole balance of power in Asia, not to mention ln- dia‘s ability to make internal prog- ress and provide external leader- ship. The L‘nitcd Nations could exert its influence here—if only it hadn’t persistently rcl‘iIscd to recognize that Red China exists at all as a nation. and confirmed it in its obsessions. Of all the blunders com- mitted in world diplomacy in recent years, this one. surely, will be given top rating by historians of the future! Already it is beginning to pay off in ominous Consequences. Auto Accident Costs It seems that the “bad” car drivers are showing some improve- ment of late in Canada. while the “good” drivers have a declining record. That, at least, is indicated in a survey of auto accident costs conducted by the All (‘anada Insur- ance Federation. Also revealed is the fact that Canadian drivers were involved in more accidents in the 1961 insurance year—and that the accidents were m ore expensive—— than in any year since 1958. 95 of each 1,000 drivers were involved in an accident during the year in which a “third party" claim was made. This is five times more than the prevous year, or an in- crease of about 5.5 per cent. At the same time. the average Cost of each accident increased from $360 to $364. ()nly partially reflected in' the survey, which shows losses up to the. end of June, are increases in the cost of accidents caused by Canada's austerity program. Be- cause of devaluation and new im- port duties. replacement parts of many cars now cost more. (Prime Minister Diefenbaker. We note, has “disclaimed any government re- sponsibility" in this connection. He says he has never been able to see a relationship between highway casualties and dollar devaluation; but this is the way the report reads.) Insurance Companies are cur- rently studying the report with a View to setting up next year’s auto- mobile insuraucc rates. Although the rates won’t be known for sev- eral weeks. an increase averaging about 10 per cent across Canada will probably be required to meet the increased cost. This increase, however, could be higher in some parts of the coun- try and lower in others. Individual car owners, particularly those who have graduated to a better classifi- cation by reaching the age of 25 or by completing three years of driving without a claim, could well find their rates lower despite the general increase. EDITORIAL NOTES According to a House of Com- mons report, $17,130,963 was loan- ed between Nov. 1961 and June 30, 1962 under the Small Businesses Loans Act. Nine loans were made by chartered banks under this Act in Prince Edward Island, for a total of $93400. it! U C It is pleasing to note that Dr. Frank MacKinnon's thought-provok- ing book, “The Politics of Educa- tion," has reappeared, this time in a first-class paperback edition, pub- lished by the University of Toronto Press. It is one of half a dozen books of national importance to be selected in a pioneering venture to produce a series of Canadian Univer- sity Paperbooks that will measure up. in quality standards, to any- thing produced in the United States. We cannot commend too highly this popular edition of Dr. MacKin- non’s book, and venture to predict that it will have a wide sale through- out the country. ,1 GUY FAWKES DAY IN OTTAWA PRESS FREEDOM INVOLVED West German Lesson In Democracy An issue involving freedom of information has almost broken the coalition between Chancellor Adenauer‘s Christian Democrats r and the Free Democratic Party in Bonn.

CASE CITED The incident involves a sub- ject matter over which older democracies than the one on the Rhine have their difficulties. Newspapermen in the nited States were exercised last week about a statement by Arthur Sylvester, assistant secretary for defense. that the giving out of news during the Cuban crisis "weapon" in order that the government might “speak in one voice." There are matters of military security in which secrecy has to be observed: but there should be constant viliglance against the temptation to use it to hide what is merely embar- rassing. . .Ro’rotion Of TrOOps Dave McIntosh Canadian Press Staff Writer Is the rotation of Canadian i troops between Canada and West Germany an accurate weathcrvane of how the East~ A lot of people In Ottawa think so.

It is a sensible step. There are too many officers in Iran and too few teachers. No country can b modernize its administration and indus- trialize its economy if four out of five of its people are Illi- terete. as they are in Iran. Yet precedents show that the meas- ure is not likely to be popular. One of the early acts of the Turkish revolutionary .Govern- ment in 1960 was to say that graduates should do their na- tional service as teachers in distant parts of the country In- stead of being commissioned in the armed forces. This caused demonstrations and p to t s It marches and n little later the order was dropped.

According to Dr. R o b e rt Kemp. of Liverpool, m any men and women of 75 or more years of age are frail, unsteady. forgetful. untidy, selfish. petty, repetitive, oring, or confused about people and places. They doze during the day and wakeful at night. In addition. they are fearful of death. This is normal for their a g e and comparable to the antics of children and teen-agers in their age group. It is true that not every oldster has these charac- teristics and not every child behaves in the same way. Many of these traits are bothersome to middle aged members of the family but it is surprising how often a cnuse can found. Furthermore. they are not medical problems even though the physician usu- ally is called to make grandpa eat. or to restore zest or an in- terest in life in grandma, wh o perfers to sit in a rocking chair doing nothing. 0n the other hand Dr. Kemp suggests that the physician must determine whether a 75 year old person is "fit though old, fit and old but neglected, old and emotionally unstable, or whethere he is o and phoysically or mentally ill." I is easy to blame every symptom, peculiarity, or men- tal disturbance on hardening of the arteries or old age. Many elderly persons are better off without a physician's care, if it implies they are sick or older than they really are. It makes them more feeble, pessimistic, and ill.
