THE DAILY THMES-GAZETTE" Whitehall Notebook By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept. 23--(CP) -- The, 'politicians' campaign to win the youth of Britain grows more .vig- orous. Conservatives, away to a strong start with more than 153,000 Young 'Conservatives helping their work, now are challenged by the revived Labor League of Youth. In three months since the Scar- borough, Yorkshire, annual labor party conference, League of Youth branches have increased by more than.100 to 417. The party reported that Deal, Kent, had the highest League membership in the south with 300 enrolled. This would in- dicate that as other branches will have fewer meagbers, the Labor youth enrollmei® is far below that of the Conservatives. The Scarborough conference was frankly worried about labor's in- ability to attract more young peo- ple into its organization. Delegates said they had noted with concern the vigor of the young Conserva- tives, who have been front-line workers in by-elections staged a national rally in London last June. ; i Labor's youth movement was dis- rupted just before the war when party leaders came to the conclu- sion its leaders were too far left in their opinion8. The organization was allowed to fade. The Scarborough agreed that youth organization must receive more attention. An initial step was to raise the age limit for memers from 21 years to 25 and invigorate the assistance given from party hegdquarters in London. Pirst meeting of the League's National Consultative Committee will be held in London next wek. Then -- perhaps taking a leaf from the Young Conservative book --arg rangements for a national rally will be discussed. The Labor newspaper, Daily Her- ald, said "a special effort should be made to get all party organiza- tion, including the League of Youth into fighting readiness." The Gen- eral Election is due in 1850, but the municipal elections, in which labor received a severe pounding last year, will be held in the spring of 1949 and will "provide a hardly less critical test." Caution Unions Not to Become Too Optimistic By STUART UNDERHILL Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept. 27--(CP)--Organiz- ed Labor was told Wednesday not to give way to over-optimism about Britain's future and cautioned that the path ahead still is difficult des- conference and who |.

Important developments are in the offing, for these reasons: 1, Eire is to discontinue the use of the King's signature in the ac- reditation of foreign ' representa- tives. This would sever the formal link which joins Eire with the Com- monwealth. But the Costello Gov- ernment, even when this step is taken, appears to anticipate some form of association with the Com- monweaith. 2. The new Dominion of India hag in mind the historic resolution passed by the constituent assembly proclaiming India's objective is to be a "sovereign independent repub- lic." But none doubts the desire of the Indian Government and the Indian people for close association with the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, 3. Another new Dominion, Pakis- tan, has been fostered on the idea of the Commonwealth as a family of nations and would like more defi- nite understanding of Common- wealth members' responsibility to® wards each other. Pakistanis, who hoped for mediation by other Do- monions in Pakistan's quarrels with India, have been disappointed by their unwillingness to support the argument that a family row should be settled within the family. 4. Commonwealth harmony has been disturbed by a dispute between two members of equal status. India claims that South Africa has treai- ed Indians in her territory with less "Commonwealth Club" of free members should have the right to eject a member who fails to follow certain rules. 5. Beyond purely Commonwealth affairs is the impact of new region- al associations, like the Western Union agreement which brings the United Kingdom into new close co- operation with France; the Neth- erlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. 'These countries now stand to bene- fit from an association as close as that between the United Kingdom and the Dominions. One solution would be the cre- ation of "part-time" Commonwealth members, that is, countries which have absolute sovereignty and do not recognize the British King as mal agreements with Common- wealth countries. Even for double the price you can't buy anything better than than fairness, and argues that the their ruler but who enter into for-| 156 Simcoe S.

The surgeon was Professor Wal- ter Freeman, an American neuro- psychiatrist who numbed the pat- ient"s brain with electricity, then operated through the eye socket. The operation was a new method of performing a prefrontal leuco-+ tonry, now widely used by surgeons in otherwise incurable insanity cases. A hole is drilled in the skull and a portion of the brain severed. Medical authorities report results of the prefrontal leucotomy have been almost startling in Britain. Of 170 patients operated on in one hospital, 77 were able to go home. Nine had to be readmitted but of the remaining 68 more than half now are normal and working. But doctors, admit the operation has its dfawbacks. One patient who lost his obsessions, became cheer- ful and happy also showed tle sympathy for relatives, became self-willed, headstrong unable to see other points of view and tend- ed to quick fits of temper with no regrets afterward. The prefrontal leucotomy opera- tion first was performed 11 years ago 'by a Portuguése surgeon.

THE STERLING TRUSTS CORPORATION 372 Bay Street, Toronto 1 37 years in Business pite some signs of improv nt The warning came from the Gen- eral Council of the Trades Union congress which represents 8,000,000 workers. It issued a statement call- ing for "more intelligent use by our present labor force. . Of our exist- ing machines" as a means of main- taining the improvement. It said increased production, which will improve living standards, can be achieved by improved meth- ods. The statement is a bold echo of the appeal of Sir Stafford Cripps, Chancellor of the Echequer, to the T.UC. annual convention. earlier this month for developing brain power rather than brawn. It also echoes the cautionary note Sir Staf. ford sounded on his arrival in Otta- wa this week, when he said the pub. lic had tended to over-emphasize the optimistic side of his economic report last week to the House of! Commons while neglecting his "very definite warnings." Some quarters interpret the state- ment as showing a further closing of trade union ranks against subver- sive influences, following the routine of the Communists at the margate annual conference.
