JAN. 24. use Needed Advice Admiral Radford, chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, has advised Americans, and the West generally, "not to assume that. we are ahead of Soviet Russia and its allies in everything.” In the course of his speech, he went so far as to conceded the possibility oi' Russia's having atomic weapons more advanced than anything that has been produced in the West. This is good and much needed advice, and the sooner it is taken to heart the better it will be for the common prestige of Western coun- tries among non-Western peoples--- and perhaps for their security. There was a time when the West's superiority over any other area or group of nations, especially in in- dustrial potential, was so great. that no one bothered to dispute it. That is not the case-now. Indeed, in the matter of technical training. just to mention one fact of industrial power. recent figures reveal that the shoe is on the other foot, so to speak There are, for instance, 3700 techni- cdl training schools in the Soviet Union at the present time, with an enrollment of more than IV; million students. By comparison, the United States has 1000 schools with about 50,000 students. Again, the United States is expected to produce, at the most, 27,000 engineers in various categories this year; the Russian goal is almost twice that number. To the U. S. figures, of course, must be added those of other free world countries; but in the aggregate-so these statistics gathered by Ameri- can experts reveal-they will fall far below those of the Soviet Union and its allies. This does not mean that the West. is about to be overwhelmed by Russian technological superiority; for quality counts as much as quan- tity, and thci'e is some evidence that in this respect the West is far in the lead. It does mean, however, that the industrial might of the West, compared with that elsewhere, is not what it was so recently 85 the end of the Second Wold War. There is another matter t.o be considered. too. Almost every West- , ern di lomat who visits Asia comes back impressed by the distaste with which public opinion views the Am- erican-anid, to some extent, the general Western-practice of con- fusing bigness with worth. For in- stance. one highly placed Indian is report.cd to have told a visiting Un- ited States State Department offi- cial: "You Americans talk too much about big things, including big money." And in Western Europe. where Western influence is much greater than it is in Asia. another visiting American was told: "We ap- preciate everything America has done for us: but we wish you did not remind us in so many little ways of the obligations we owe for your great munificencc." Finally, of course, Admiral Rad- fnrdls advice is timely because. if followed, it will remove one serious obstacle to progress: satisfaction with the status quo. No nation or group of nations, any more than an individual or a community. can do the best work of which it is capable so long as it is content with its pre- sent achievements. . Butter Surplus Figures So many apparently contradic- tory figures are being quoted to sub- stantiate divergent points of view on the butter surplus problem that it is little wonder the average citizen is bewildered. In In endeavour to clu- lfy the situation the Ottawa Journal quotes the following figures: - The Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics reports that butter stocks on January 1 this year were 100,030,000 pounds. up from 91.025:000tpounds do ithiusme dntnl year ago. To '. on-ivu at Iny idea of what part of Ito:-Igenatockn could conceivably be ll surplus it is necessary March to meet Winter needs in this country. The deficiency is taken from storage, butter put away dur- ing flush production months. Last year consumption in those three months was 66.5 million, pounds, somewhere near average for recent years. Production was 34-3 million pounds. Unless there is some great change this year it. would ap- pear that around 32 million pounds would be required out of storage to meet normal consumer require- ,ments This would leave something like 68 million pounds as surplus on April 1, the first production usually tion needs. However what the trade terms the "pipeline" - butter in transit and on retail shelves--requires sev- eral million pounds and it is over the size of this requirement that much of the controversy centres. Soldier-Philanlhropisl A lot of hard words are spoken from time to time about the alleged misbehaviour of soldiers stationed in foreign lands. A year or so ago, for instance, Canadian soldiers stat- ioned lil Germany came under con- siderable unenviable publicity. which quieted down only when inquiry re- vealed that most of the trouble had been caused by relatively few in- dividuals. Perhaps, if the truth were known, the good deeds done by sol- diers away from home heavily out- balance the irresponsible ones. Con- sider, for a moment, a report from Korea. It tells about a young Am- erican private who, tired and sick of seeing Korean youngsters running around the streets in search of food and shelter. decided to do something about it. First of all he bought two acres of land for S65. Then, by using army equipment (without asking the approval of his superiors) he somehow managed to build an or- phanage for 30 blind orphans. In due course, the young soldier's am- azing achievement came to the at- tention of the authorities who, ”in- fluenced by the noble purpose of the project", to quote the commanding officer, withheld punishment. al- though it was clear that the soldier had gone beyond discretion. Now, the division to which the young philanthropist is attached, is bearing all responsibility for the upkeep of the orphanage. The report goes on to say that at. one time and another American soldiers in Korea have built 199 or- phanages, 212 churches, and 269 schools, and spent almost 333 mil- lion to help victims of war in Korea. It is doubtful if any civilian group of comparable size, anywhere in the world, has any better record for organized charity. EDITORIAL NOTES 'A church notice in a New Eng- land newspaper runs this way: "At the evening service the minister will preach his farewell sermon. The choir. as usual, will sing a glad an- them". Something suitable for every occasion, apparently! O O O Apparently, no part of the Mari- times is left out of the marshland rehabilitation scheme. For the 1954- 33 fiscal year Nova Scotia received 5t?62rl,fl00, New Brunswick 951177.290 --and P. E. I. the magnificent sum of 3487.50. 0 O I Scientists now compute that man arrived on the North American con- tincnt 30.000 years ago. Heretoforc thc time had been believed to be 10,- 000 years. The new date was com- putcrl by ”ultra-precise” measure- ments of the amounts of radioactive carbon in the bones of a burned dwarf mammal found last summer off Santa Barbara, California. It seems pretty small evidence on which to base so momentous a con- clusion. but non-scientists are in no position to argue the matter. 0 O O Bureaucrats are blushing in Eng- land for what they call a "clerical error". It seems that a Daventry farmer recently sold six heifers. The Food Ministry guarantees farmer- a minimum price on such llvestcok sales. This farmer's heifers brought more than the minimum. so of course he was entitled to nothing. But some industrious incompetent sent the farmer a cheque from the department. made out for 0 pounds. 0 shillings and 0 pence. Printed across it was the promise that "if presented through a bank within three months the Postmaster Gen- eral will pay the amount ototed.” So the recipient, having received noth- - ing from the,Government, now has Imhoquc tloptovo it. month when new- mects c0nsump- , Mxktizilics OTTAWA REPOIIT Mr. Drew Rejuvenaled By Patrick Nicholson A new Drew grew in Ottawa. The national leader of the Progressive Conservative party made his first major public appearance of 1956 at its annual meeting here last week. The leader who. two years ago. faced internal revolt, emerged this year as the leader unu imously endorsed with the confidence of all Conservatives. The man who. one year ago. was stricken by what might have been a destructive Il- ness. demonstrated himself this year to be healthy. energetic and full of life to come. Further. he has enhanced his ability as a force- ful and convincing orator. That is the outstan:"'ig impress- ion which Conservative delegates are taking back to their associa- tions in riding: all over Qanada. There is a new Drew in Ottawa. They have-at long, long last: lead- er who can lead, and indeed a leader they are all willing to fol- low. For Canadians everywhere. and regardless of their political beliefs. this is news of major importance. Weak leadership of any political party and dissension within it is bad news. For our democratic system of government which means government by the people and for the people - to operate well and fairly. it is absolutely essential that we do not descend into the dark depths of dictatorship in as one-party state. This remained an especial danger when one of the two historic parties, itself the chief opposition to the present govern- men, was torn by internal strife. Perhaps the inspiration came from his slnnal triumph in Parlia- ment last year; perhaps the con- fidence camc from his realization that not only all Conservatives are now solidly behind him and dis- contented supporters of other par- ties turninq towards him. What- ever it was. this year's meeting of the Conservative party here in Ot- tawa was a personal triumph for George Drew. HUGE AU IENCE APPLAUDS The highlight was of course his fighting speech to an audience of nearly 000 delegates at the annual formal dinner - an audience sub- stantially larger than that which gathered in the same hall the fol- lowing night In honor the record of twenty years Cabinet service by Messrs. C. D. Howe and J. Gardin- er. Whatever old planks may have been refurbished. or new planks devised. for the Conservative elect- ion platform - and those have not been publicly revealed yct - we can be sure that this meeting discussed the program which all Conserva- live candidates will offer to voters at the next general election-pm bably in 1957. It is significant that. on its 100th birhday, the Conservative Party is winking back - It and up to l7 founder and Grand Old Man, Sir .lohn A. Macdonald. founder of the Dominion of Canada and first Prime Minister. Sir John created the famous National Policy. Neither Liberals nor Conservatives offered anything approaching a national policy It the last election. Neither of the post- war Liberal leaders has shown any evidence of being guided by such I distinctive and beckoning beacon. Indeed both have given us I patch- work quill of opportunist and con- tradictory policies to meet individ- ual situations. with no consistent nvcr-all plan. Otto I in the last ARMY BAND PRAISE!)

What thc Conservatives need is I compre- hensive program to lower those flood waters and rebuild the dyke. DR! .EPT IT SECRET if such a program was compiled behind the meetings closed (Mrs. George Drew did not reveal this in his speech. Instead. he gave a hundred good reasons why Canadians should re- sist the present trend to dictator- ship, which is largely the result of the Conservatives failure to provide an effective opposition in the past. with every justification, Mr. Drew deplored the lengthening shadow of government which is fall- ing across the lives of all of us. He criticised the secrecy with which the present government car- rics on the public business. He rail- ed at the removal of control fr.Ii the floor of parliament to the chamber of the cabinet and even to the offices of the civil service. He complained that the govern- ment refuses to give information about public business to the men and woman elected to Ottawa to supervise the spending of the publicis money. This was all very true. But con- structive proposals rather than do- structive criticism is what Cana- dians want. And the new Drew is capable of formulating these. OUR YESTERDAY? From The Guardian Files TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO January 24, I931 influential elements of the Bri- tish Government urge that a tariff formula be adopted similar to that now in effect in Candaa: the tariff to be composed of three scales of duties; general tariff, intermedi- ate. and British preferential. One hundred and nine new in- dustrics have located in Canada during a one and a half year per- iod starting from August I930. This now brings the capital employed to an amount close to the two billion dollar mark. The distribution of in- dustry control is as follows: Unit- ed States 60 per cent. Canada I7 per cent. Great Britain 14 per cent, and other countries one per cent A record for latetplowlng was established in Kingston.

CLEFT PALATE A cleft palate permits the stream of air we use for speech to go up Ind out. the nose. This is what causes the nasal spepch characteristic of persons with cleft palate or harellp.

This is beneficial to those wanting to reduce. since the Imount of fat as compared to oth- er protein foods is less. Fish is also a good food from the point of view of supplying cer- tain minerals, such as calcium and iodine. Rsmeses ll.
