During her 25 years with the V.0.N., she has contributed in a large measure to its development from 65 to 91 branches. Her work with the Order has won her wide respect and recognition. The appointment of her successor will not be any easy task due to her ability and unselfish devotion to her ip the first great war she was decorated by the French and Belgian governments and in World War II, as matron in chief of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps, was the first woman to hold the rank of colonel in the Cana- dian Army. It was due to her leadership that the nursing service attained its high standard of proficiency. 'Even Terms Needed While the war was still on Canada and the United States pledged themselves to lower their tariff barriers. They edged themselves to freer world trade. Our two govern- ments did 80 deliberately, with open eyes, believing that the war shattered economies of the nations who suffered most could be helped back to normalcy only if they could sell their goods abroad. The war is over. The tariff experts in Ottawa and Washington are at work this minute, They have freshly sharpened pencils, reams of paper. Those pencils are prying at the bricks in the tariff wall right now. But the Canadian experts have discovered that this wall is a very curious structure indeed. It has been built up through the years so that it is a good deal higher on the American side than it is on the Canadian. If a specific Canadian industry has a tariff protection of 30 per cent it is quite likely that the same industry in the United States has a tariff protection of 60 per cent. Suppose the tariff diplomats go to work and come to an agreement that Canada and the United States each cut their tariffs in half. That sounds fair. The danger is that somebody, within the next few months, may try to persuade Canadians that it actually is fair. That industry in Canada which has a 30 per cent tariff protection now, would have its tariff cut to 15 per cent, while the same United States industry would still have a protec- tive wall twice as high. No, the agreement will have to be on a different basis. If Canadians considetr that our industries have grown up in Canada, can stand competition from anywhere, then the United States industries should also be considered adult. They should be put on even competitive terms with the Canadian. Atomic Energy Control ", , . with the Soviet Union and Poland abstaining." This was the rather ominous rider attached to the "unani- mous" report, submitted to the Security Council by the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission. In spite of sharp Russian opposition to certain clauses, the commission approved a plan for international atomic control, based on the original proposals made by the American representative, Bernard M. Baruch. Mr, Baruch, in turn, had drawn the main outline of his plan from a study made by the American State Department and. known as the Lilienthal Report. This report had advocated a world Atomic Development Authority. Conforming with Mr. Baruch's suggestions, the atomic commission's plan envisages an international authority with power to ban production, possession and use of atomic weapons. Day-by-day enforcement of this ban is not to be choked off by a veto. Similarly, a veto can not be wielded to prevent punishment if and when any nation commits a major violation of the atomic energy code, according to the commission report. Finally, the whole field of atomic re- search for destructive purposes is to be confined solely to the U.N. atomic authority. The point at which the Soviet Union balked concerned punishment of violators without recourse to a veto. Andrei Gromyko, speaking for Russia, said that outright removal of the veto in such a case was not in accord with either the "letter" or the "spirit" of the U.N. charter. British, French and Canadian delegations, led in Canada's case by General A. G. L. McNaughton, sought to prevent a showdown on this issue between the United States and Russia. parent effort to soften the pointed phrasing of the Baruch proposals, argued that abolition of the veto on punishment J Getting Clipped --Carmack in the Christian Science Monitor e Readers' Views ® A Bit of Verse INFY A Mes 4 7/04, Wy [i ces 4 / particular section. would be almost valueless, since in the event of a serious violation there would be war anyway. But Mr. Baruch stood firm on the wording of this The disputed section read in part: ONE CANADIAN GOV'T Editor, Times-Gai:tte: Dear Sir: The Brantford Expositor in the December 28th Times-Gaz- ette suggested one major govern- ment for Canada instead of ten. That is my idea of a government for Canada. We have ten with little or mo connection with each other. This method is just a waste of time and money. I suggest that we have no more federal or provincial elec- tions until 1950, then have one gen- eral election and elect the nine ial governments to run Can- ada without the federal government. That would give us a chance to get some candidates from both govern- ments to form the nine provincial governments, Think what this would do to unite Canada if they could meet out in British Columbia, Quebec, Maritimes and other prov- inces and there would be nine premiers and ministers to work to- gether for the benefit of all and they would have power to act. Better government at less cost to the tax- payers. Then a fixed election date to give all candidates an equal chance to win the election. Then, get rid of the present Senate and let the defeated or retiring premiers be the senate if they desire to do 80 as they would be valuable because of their experience as premiers. With an age limit of seventy-five years. Some are hard to keep. Others, well, they just can't leave. A. E. FISHER. Oshawa, R.R. 3, January 6, 1947.

Attempts to eliminate the phrase, "by veto or otherwise," failed. Now; despite Russian and Polish obstinacy, the text of the plan goes to the Security Council for consideration. If the Russian position remains static, the Security Council is faced with the alternative of a skilful compromise or no international agreement at all.
