The Uely TimesGazeite (Oshawa, Whitby) y 87 Simcoe Street South, Oshawa, b Gazett Ontario Chinese Communists Again Start Unbridled Warfare Reports which have come from the Far East in the last few days are disturb- ing. They tell a story of the Chinese Communists again on the rampage, wag- ing what is nothing more or less than un- bridled warfare, They have attacked, and claim to have captured islands be- tween the Chinese mainland and Formosa held by the Chinese Nationalists, There has been bitter fighting, Once again, the Reds have taken the initiative in an ag- svossive move which had in it a distinct threat to world peace. If this resumption of armed aggres- sion by the Chinese Reds is, as seems likely, a forerunner to an all-out attack Formosa, the Chinese Nationalist snihold, then the implications are de- cidedly serious, It might well bring about a repetition of the Korean police action h brought about a long and bloody ar. The United States is definitely com- mitted to go to the aid of the Chinese Nationalists in the event of Formosa be- ing attacked, This would immediately raise the problem of whether this action of the United States would be accepted by the United Nations as a move against aggression, and the action become one of the whole body, That was what happened when the Reds invaded South Korean, But it is extremely uncertain whether the same thing would happen in the case of Formosa, One thing is sure, and that is the cer~ tainty that the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries would not be nearly so willing to jump into the present Far Kast situation with armed forces as they did in Korea, But there still is danger that this situation might broaden out into a major conflict if the United States should again become embroiled with Com- munist China in a new war, Common Sense and Common Cold Another force has aligned itself in the cr-ending battle against the common save the Los Angeles Times. This oup is reported as comprised of 50 lead- ng bankers and industrialists who have pproved a $500,000 budget for scientific research to be conducted by the Common (old Foundation of New York City, Their interest is understandable; colds are estimated to cost the U.S. economy $5,000,000,000 a year in lost time, wages, decreased production and medical expen~ ses, The research program comes at an appropriate time--for the fall, winter and spring months usually find the incidence of colds at its highest. There are numerous nostrums for the prevention and control of colds, but their general effectiveness has been widely de- Id bated by physicians and researchers with few conclusive findings, The battle to find the cause and to cure the common cold has been going on for 2,000 years, but progress has been negligible in the light of what we have been able to do with such such scourges as smallpox, diphtheria and tuberculosis, to mention a few, The individual's experience with his own susceptibility to colds should profit him in avoiding them, Medicine is strug gling to find the answer to the problem and meanwhile the citizen can help by keeping in good physical condition and avoiding exposures that invite the snif- fles. Common-sense health practices probab« ly could help a lot in reducing the econ. omic toll of colds, Britian Now Paying Her Debts Noted in the Wall Street Journal as it comes to hand Is an item to the effect that, at the beginning of the year, Britgin made payments to the United States and Canada of $181,000,000 as instalments on recovery loans made in 1946, after the end of the war which had left the old land in an impoverished condition al- though one of the victors, As this item is carried in the Ameri- can press it may bring two points of in- terest to attention of the American peo- ple. For one thing Britain is paying her debts--and not getting as much publicity as was once accorded countries like Fin- land which was acclaimed with every instalment. For another thing it may be reveal to some in the United States who may still harbor the belief that Canada nave tribute to Britain, Canada's portion ff the $181,000,000 payment was $8,000, 000, the principal amount being a loan ind in no respect whatever to be considers ing Editorial Notes Perhaps the reason that the dollar vill not do as much for us as it used to lo, is that we do mot want to do as much ir the dollar as we used to do. Prejudice is a great time-saver, It hles people to form opinions without hering to get the facts, Life and taxes have one thing in coms mn when you are finished with one i are through with the other, .

At first sight there would seem to be no reason (writes "M."") why the Japanese Bible Society of Tokyo should be gladdened doubt! | by the granting of a monthly ration of about 80 cigarettes to its nation's smokers. Not long ago, however, one of its officials, questioned about an unusually rapid spread of Christianity, explained the matter: "Now we have discovered that the quality of paper used in the 8,500,000 Bibles we have imported is admirable for cigarette-rolling." Some of these were selling for more than six times the society's charge for them, in conse. quence of the high cost--about 2s, 7d.--of 100 low: quality cigarette papers, (NOTE: It was said in Canada a good many years ago that some exploded firecrackers re vealed Biblical texts--a revelation of another use of Bibles, that time by Chinese,-Editor,) as it Bible Thoughts "0 Lord, works !

"In it only after he is gone that we really appreciate that among us we had a great man? When In day to day contact with his vital personality and his com- panionship and friendliness there was the inclination to look on him mainly as just another ordinary human being; a compatriot whom one admired and Tespecied, and with whom one bickered and kidded from time to time In a casual way as with other friends, . But now that his achievements have more true assessment in that they will be no more, it is realized how familiarity blinded apprecia- tion to his true magnificence, COMPARE SUCCESSORS These achievements are being recounted at great length these days, But it isn't necessary to recite them in their total to appreciate them and the man behind them, All that has to be dope is to reflect on who there is available to continue them--or any portion of them, When the qualities of this one man are judged against the capa- city of potential successors his worth 1s measured in striking terms---and it was tremendous, There is sadness all through the main office edifice of Hydro on Univerity Ave. these days, and through the Parliament buildings ere, And it isn't a trite sadness, It is the true regret felt as the pass. ing of someone close; and some. one so vital that they have regist- ered forcibly and indelibly, And it is truly felt from the spacious of fices on the top floorx to the boiler rooms in the basement, And nowhere is it felt more keenly than in the newspaper busi: ons, All his life Bob Saunders felt a kindredship for newspapermen, He enuinely liked our company. Aside rom his family and a few friends of his boyh days whom he loy- ally kept near, we were closer fo him than anyone and there was a respect that was mutual, He liked a lively life and was attracted to the exciting aspects of ours; and within him he had a flair for news that could have made him a great Jublisher if he had chosen that eld, HAD DREAD There is only one personal re miniscence that this reporter would add to the saga that is be- Ing written with his death, t is about his flying, Many times we travelled with him on the aircraft that carried him to his death, He loved the aircraft, and he loved flying, Some of our. flights at 5 .
