In the current campaign Mr. Pear- son is going out of his way to try and ‘persuade the electorate that the Gov- ernment of which he was an influen- tial member acted the way it did be- cause of “threats” _from India, Paki- stan and Ceylon to leave the Common- wealth. “That breach”, he told‘ uni- versity students at Winnipeg, “has now been healed.’ "India, Pakistan and Ceylon are now strong partners”. Presumably, what he meant was that by turning angrily against Britain and France the Liberal Government saved the Commonwealth from dis- ruption—-s. flimsy argument, to say the best of it. I T Everybody knows that India, Paki- stan and Ceylon are in the Common- wealth. for no other reason than that off-_‘ commercial interest. Their Gov- ernments have "intimated time and. time again that in the event of war between the Soviet Union and the West they would not lift a finger to help other members of the Common- wealth who might be involved. India, especially, is as often on the side of T tlit Soviet Union as on that of the frgmworld in cold war controversies. That, no doubt, is India’s right; but it doesnot by any stretch of the im- sglnation betoken “strong partner- shipjn the Commonwealth.” ' ,_As for -Canada’s official attitude in-Nov. 1956, it appears to have been dictated wholly and solely by Ameri- can policy or, more accurately, by U. S_._Secretary of State Dulles whoIhop- ed——unsuccessfully as it turned out—- to make friends with the Arabs by turiung his wrath on the United‘ States’ most loyal allies. It is a sony page in our'diplomatic history. And if "Mr. Pearson is wise when he visits this Provinceon Tuesday he willleave it severely alone. ' 140,000 Study Abroad More than 75,000 international‘ scholarships and fellowships for study In 83 nations arolisted in the latest edition of “Study Abroad". This is a handbook published by the United Nations Educational, Scien- tific and Cultural Organization (UN- ESCO). ‘When the first edition of this handbook was published 10 years ago, only 15,000 such offerings were listed. The United States leads among countries offering study grants, with 21,000. France offers 8,000 and Bri- tain 2,500. The 1958 handbook lists offerings ‘for the first time from Bul- garia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Paraguay, Romania, Saudi Arabia and Soviet _ Russia. I’-UNESCO reports that there were 140,7 44 youths studying outside their own countries in 1955-’56. The United States was the No. lrhost with 36,494 fo',_rcign students. France was second with 16,877. Russia, which is fever- “Mly trying to lure students from s§€tellite and neutral nations, was in third place with 12,300 foreign stu-- dflits. Britain, West Germany, Aus- tntn, Egypt, Japan and Australia tisiiled. A For the-ambitious youth anxious to study in foreign lands, opportunities have never been greater than today. This intermingling of young‘ people should also pay off in improved inter- - national understanding and amity. A Garbled Request A news dispatch from London says that the Public Trustee of Britain has offered a prize of 500 pounds for the best design of an alphabet of at least 40 letters as (I.E‘h‘('.l‘II)0(I in the last will and ieslatnent of the late George Bernard Shaw, noted Irish dramatist. This is how the matter.‘ was intro- \ ducted in the advertisement which ap- peared in British newspapers: ‘‘It is implicit in the will and in Mr. Shaw’s writings that the design and adoption of the proposed alphabet should have as their main objects the saving of labour; but, although the proposed alphabet is intended to produce a means of writing and printing the English language which will be more economical to the writer’s time, of the paper and ink of the printer, and although the form in which the de- sign is prescribed need not‘ be typo- graphically perfected, the practical problems of typography will be taken into account in adjudicating the de- signs submitted. Designs of short- hand notes for verbatim reporting and designs for reforming the present alphabet by the addition of analogous letters will be disqualified”. The Public Trustee must have been _ trying to frighten away all would-be How the great man contestants. would fume if he knew how a very simple request was garbled almost, if not quite, beyond recognition! We don’t think we’ll bother to try for the 500 pounds. Example’ To Be_Shunned In 9. speech at St. Catherine’s, ‘ Ont., Trade Minister Gordon Church- I ill declared that the Liberal Party is ' in “its decline and fall”. He based his opinion on the fact that none of the nine Liberal cabinet ministers defeat- in the last election is running this. time. _ /This is the sort of nonsense that could e easily dispensed with with- . out detracting from the interest of the campaign. It is the sort of thing which the Liberals. were saying about _ the Conservatives for "many years; Indeed, there were times when the Conservative Party seemed much nearer to extinction than the Liberal Party does now. What is there de- cadent about a party which even in defeat held 103 of the 265 seats in Parliament, only a handful less than the dominant party itself? ‘ Mr. Churchill and others who pro- V fess to see in the.Li_beral Party s debilitating process should be given §t0 understand that one election vic- tory does not by any means grant 8. _ party immunity from further de- feats; and it certainly does not give- _ them the right to assume that from now the destiny. of Canada will necessarily be in their hands.

That of course is not news. The news would be if the Lib- eral leader had conceded that he was greatly impressed. ' = i -A» i s According to a report in the March issue of The American Review of_ Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Disease, scientists at Northwestern University A Medical School have reported an ex- perimental blood test for the detec- tion of active t.b. Tests of 52 patients and 38 well-persons showed a high degree of reliability, the report says. _ i f '0 If anyone happens to have a stamp issued by the ,Newfoundland Gov- ernment in 1927 to commemorate the flight by Marchese Francesco dc Pjnedo from St. John’s to.Rome he should take good care~bf it.

London dealer the other day for $17,000.- * at ' 2 , Premier Joseph Smallwood of New- 'foundland has been doing some cam- paigning for the Liberals in Nova .Scotia.. The Conservatives are said to be quite calm about it. They recall that Mr. Smallwood carried out a. similar assignment at the time of the last Provincial election without dam- aging their prospects very much. 4 i Q t The many friends of Island-born Lieutenant Governor Bowlen of Al- berta will appreciate the following tribute paid to him in the Lethbridge Herald: “It was characteristic of Lieutenant—Governor Bowlen that he should have kept quiet about the death of his only son until after he had read the speech from the throne at the opening of the Alberta Legis- lature. The people of Alberta have unbounded respect for a. \'i.<:ero,v who puts his public duty before his per- sonal feelings.

It has been bad. Around this time of the year the British start breathing a bit more easily. The worst, they think, is over. No ing whether their plumbing, no whit advanced from the type us- ed by their grandfathers and great-grandfathers‘ when Victor- ia was on the throne, had sur- vived the,frost.‘No more wonder‘- ing whether the water «tank has burst. . But this year it ‘is different. Just as the relief was creeping in, along came snow, ice, sleet, rain, and frost. People are dis- gruntled, peevish,.hungry for sun. You can see this atttiude re‘- flected in public life as well. In a word, the politicians of Britain are feeling niggly. They are. by- persensitive, and touchy. Heading ‘them _ls, ;,Brit_sin’s, Prime Minister, Harold Macmil- lan, who ‘is findng the need to go around beaming and spread- ing "sweetness, light, and opti- mism against all comers ‘a little -trying at the" moment. He has another trouble a growing criti- cism in the.Press for the way he seems to favour television as a medium to get his messages a- cross. When he came back from his Commonwealth tour, for in- stance, he gave half an hour at London Airport to the T.V. cam- eras, no time at all to political reporters who patiently awaited their turn to interview him. It is in fact the second time with in a year that, delberately or acciden- tally‘ he has snubbed the scrib- blers. = LIKE IKE? . Now more of Britain's Press favour the idea of the Prime Min- ister giving specific P.ress.confer- ences something on the lines of President Eisenhower's gather- ings. It is true that over here there are different circumstan- ces; the Prime Minister can be grilled during question -time in the House of Commons, before the main business of each Parlia- mentary day -is reached. Eisenhower has no such vul- nerable mornents. But the Bri- tish do feel that their elected chief executive should meet the British Press more. DISUNITY There is more peevishness a- mong the main Opposition party that sits across the floor from ment. And one thing is becoming apparent: if the Labor party does not put its house in order and get together on one specific bold policy to put before the elec- torate in‘the general election next year, they will lose the support of scores of thousands of at-pres- ent wavering voters in the coun- Some of the Labor party men are mellowing, advocating the “middle road.” Some are moving‘. more to the Left. Soon it may be impossible for the twain to meet. Two of the Labor Party’s most prominent members are becom- ing more Right than Left in their views. Both were extremists ten or twenty years ago. Easing up on the vitriol is “el- der stateman” “Ma.nny" Shin- well, 3 Scot who fought with no gloves on in the Twenties or Thirties. Since Attlee went into the House of Lords he is the most ' respected member of the Labor Party -— outside the Party — and is new old enough not to covet public office whengthe Labor Par- ty get back into -power. Now he supports the Tory Par-' ty ln their guided missile policy, and -joins them in welcoming the bases for the 1500-miles-range in- termediate range missiles which the British, with extensive Amer- ican aid, is to set up laterths year.._ _ Most of his party either do not want theaweapons at all, alleg- ing that acceptance of them would put British, independence in hock, or want them to be de- layed until after any summit con- ference. ‘Another Celt — this time I Welshman -— also supports the missile set-up, and has adopted the use of the H-bom-b. He is Aneurln Bevan, ten years ago the “enfant terrible” of the Labor Party. ' Bsvan, too, has mellowed. one of the main reasons: when the Laborites get in, he is earmarked for Foreign Secretary. And by that time the H-bomb setup will have jelled. and whether he likes it or not he will be stuck -with the situation. N0 SPLIT YET There is no obvious split — yet — in the Labor Party. But a small group calling themselves “Victory for Socialism" has been set up within -the Parliamentary Labor Party, and it may grow. Whether' it d s or not, the very existence of -e group is an in- dication that the ranks are be- ginning to waver. The time left to close them is running out. It was left to the House of Lords to provide the only real case of agreement between par- ties. They were overwhelmingly hostile to “A.I.D." —‘— aritificial inseminaton -by a donor — whch came into a debate recently. A few weeks back a judge in the Scottish Court of Session said in a divorce case that A.I.D. did not constitute ad-u-ltery. The Lords think otherwise. A Government inquiry is promised and the‘ whole idea of artificial insemination is becoming a talk- ing point. It has come as a shock to the British that so far there are close on 8,000 “A.I.D." chil- dren in the country. And they were relieved by the news that an inquiry, and not a Royal Com- mission, is being set up on the they subject. Findings on the in- qury stand a better chance of leading to action that the rec- ommendations of a Royal Com- mission. Uneolsy Lies The Head By Patrick Nicholson Special Correspondent for The Guardian London, England: One quickly learns here that life on an Amer- ican unsinkable aircraft carrier is uneasy and rancourous. Britons have only receiitly been told that hydrogen bombs are be ing flown over their housetops, by foreign bombers, manned by foreign crews and controlled by a foreign government, on stand- ing patrol. ‘ The roar of the takebffs and landings-of the bombers can be «heard around their airfields 50 and 100 miles from their capitol city, away on the east coast. In this (city the hizli-I'lyim»: bombers can be detected only by an or- casional vapour lzrail high in the sky. But always, there is uneasiness. Suppose an H-bomber should have an accident. and crash. ' Would its powerful bomb to-.2rnI London or some other British city ‘into a magnified I-Iinoslzrlma? The U.

But I learn that the I-I-bombs now being flown above my head are “unarmed," and the {our experts carried in the bomber mu-st. ad- just and add certain components before the bomb becomes dan- gerou-s.

ELECTION ISSUES .Sir,—A few comments have come-to my mind about the forth- coming election, I would like to take this opportunity to express them. _ In the first place, Mr. Pearson claims that he is cutting taxes because an emergency has aris-~ en ln unemployment. (The brass of the Liberal pa-r-ty knew very well that emergency existed be- fore last June tenth,' their own advisors had _told them so very frequently, but they completely ignored the reports. even hid them.) Indeed the former Liber- al leader said in a pre-election telecast, and I‘ quote Mr‘. St. Laur- ent “Now, my friends youknow the‘ tax dollar can only go‘ so for. and it is divided in a manner similar to that of a pie." He then went on to .divide the "pie," ~P9I1til1g out to us .th.at- there were not any “extra lhelpings" for any- body; and then he added, “So you’ see, my friends, Mr. Dief- enbaker’s promise of cutting tax- es is not only ridiculous, it is imDOSsi«b1e."‘ Yet at few months later his successor tells us he can cut taxes to the extent of four hundred million dollars. That’s one piece of “pie" I’m- afraid Mr. Pearson may choke on. Really, he must think. the average Can- adian is quite stupid. Secondly, I would like to point out that for several hundred years England has seen Canada through the difficul—t stages of in- 5 8 I1 0 5'. childhood. adolescence, and finally. in our country‘; Young adulthood, she had the ho. nour and courage to cut. the “ap- P011-Swings” and put Canada on a_ status ‘equal to her own, We lI1cked_ a fine way to show our appreclation in the recent Suez crisis, did-n’.t we? Neither Mr. St. Laurent nor Mr. Pearson deserve any pats on the back for’ siding in with the United States against our Mother Country. That was one time I was actually ashamed of being a Canadian. At that same time Nasser stated that he would gain complete control of the Suez Canal: Canada and the United States certainly helped. him ful- fill his ambition, a galling thought £01‘ any real Canadian.
