The Internation- al Commission is sending its report to the United Nations, calling for its charges to be investigated. The report also’examines Tibet’s present situation. It implies that un- til 1951 its status internationally was “uncertain.”* China’s- rights of sover- eignty were unconfirmed until a seventeen point agreement between Peking and the Dalai Lama in 1951. Recently the Dalai Lama has alleged that the agreement was accepted by - Tibet under force. Even the Tibetan seals used for notifying the agree- ment were forged by the Chinese. Because of this and because fhe -CKinese have broken-their side of the ‘treaty by trying to subvert the Dalai Lama’s Government, the Dalai Lama repudiated the agreement on June n the view of the International ~ Commission, a case ‘can be made out ' that thé Chinese rights in Tibet have thereby. lapsed. _ The report raises many controver- sial issues. But by submitting it to the United Nations the International Commission has referred it to the - highest tribunal“in the world. It is ‘difficult to see how this body can avoid the responsibility of taking act- ion in the matter: ! Tariffs And Industry’ In urging more people to. “buy Canadian,” Mr. W. H. Evans, pre- sident of the Canadian Manufactur- ers’ Association,’says he refuses to believe that the quality, style and performance of Canadian’ products need in any way be inferior to those manufactured elsewhere. While op- posed to closing down uncompetitive industries, he also objects to erection of tar'*f walls because Canada needs to co-operate with other nations and trade is “a two-way street.” This is very true, though it is obvious “that 4 “buy Canadian” policy, if pushed to extremes. would be just as effective as tariff barriers in eliminating outside competition. That; 4s:our farmers . know, is a situation that is not likely to arise. It is the tariff on the things they buy that pushes up » their production costs.. and their appeals to tariff- protected. industrial areas to favor Canacian food products have not been outstandingly successful. Here is an “uncompetitive” major indus- try which cannet now exist .without _price supports, and could be aided materially to stand on its own feet with the’ support of such organiza- tions as the Canadian Manufacturers Association. Mr. Evans, while opposing high tariffs,‘says Canadian industry is en- titled to expect a “realistic, adequate __tariff- policy’ which would eriable it -to-.compete_effectively in the home market. The difficulty. here is to de- termine where realistic adequacy | - ent kind, extend to Eisenhower him- self, who is accused by the writer of one newspaper column, of wide circulation, of practicing appease- ment—on a more disgraceful seale than Chamberlain's deal (with Hit- ler) at Munich.” * There can be sympathy with those who feel strongly about the terroristic regime of which Khrush- chev is the head, and about the Soviet Premier as the arch villian of the lot. President Eisenhower doubtless has his own strong views on this subject. But he is trying, as possibly the last great effort of his public career, to find an honorable ground for peaceful coexistence with the Communist world. He has re- peatedly made it clear that his ef- fort is exploratory, that there willl) be no appeasement or surrender of basic principles. As he said before leaving for Europe, “We are talking about the human race and whit’s going to happen to it.” On one side is a war, with' nuclear weapons which could wipe us all out, that would . certainly destroy’ this civilization which men have stryggled to build over many centuries. On the other side is living together on a globe which is rapidly diminishing in size because of modern communica- tions and transport. Not necessarily in close friendship, or even neigh- borly tolerance; but living together in fearful agreement that the bel! of nuelear war must not sound, for if it does, it will sound for all—free world and Communist alike.

There’s a political horror story currently making the rounds at | Ottawa and giving both yood little Conservatives and good little Lib- erals the heéebie-jeebies. Tite story is that Newfoundland’s Premier J.R. Joey Smallwood, the whirling dervish of Canadian politics, has his eye on the federal Liberal leadership. A ‘new attempt to hold fruitful disarmament talks has been heralded in the joint statement by the United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. A 10-nation committee will start work at Geneva eariy in the new year, with Canada and Italy add- ~ ed te the Western side and four other Communist states to the Russian: e = s There appears scant chance of the Federal Government interveniag in the controversial retail trading stamp situation—atleast until after the Royal Commission on’, Price Spreads files its report.
