It blames the fact that there has been a slight de- crease, of some 120 men, in the strength of these three services between Decem- ber and April of this year on the gov- ernment's policy. It criticizes the gov- ernment for the fact that some 9000 men were discharged from the forces iss g H = » i tH ; i it of : H z : 1 T] gigs : Bs ai H = E a 1 a +f i g2 = no more, and a interest and v. for various reasons which were not sta- ted in the official reports. In our opinion, there is a much more convincing reason for the lack of inter- est in joining the armed forces than the policy of the federal government. It is all part and parcel of the general manpower shortage which is being ex- perienced in industry and business. Times are prosperous. Men are in great demand in all branches of industry and business at highly satisfactory wage levels, Under these circumstances, the sufficient men to build the three fight ing services up to the strength desired. No degree of compulsion is possible in inducing young men.-So it is surprising that the decrease in the number of men in the armed forces was only 120 dur- ing the four months' period referred to. There is only one method by which adequate defence forces can be assured for Canada, and that is by a system of compulsory military training such as is in effect in most other countries in the world taday. Republicans And Eisenhower Republicans in the United States are showing some s'~ns of jubilitation at the speedy recovery of President Eisen- hower from his recent illness and opera- tion. It would appear as if they are a great deal less concerned over the fu- ture health of the president than with their own chances of winning the 1956 presidential election. This is quite understandable. As has been said in this column before, there is no other candidate whom the Repub- licans could nominate who would have as good a chance of winning the election as Eisenhower. They recognize that. So, with their tongues in their cheeks, they watch the reports of the presidents health closer than they did the stock market reports in the days of the de- pression, Some of them are quite pre- pared to have Eisenhower be the candi- date regardless of the state of his health. . This thought was expressed re- cently by Republican Senator Jenner of Indiana when he said, "If necessary, we'll run him stuffed." That indicates the length to which some of his sup- porters would go in pressing the pres.- dent into candidacy for another term. All the public opinion polls which have been taken recently indicate that Eisenhower is the only candidate who can be sure of a Republican victory. No other who has been. mentioned would be likely to come out on top in a contest with a Democratic opponent like Adlai Stevenson, We feel it is grossly unfair to Eisén- nower that he should be placed in such an unenviable position by his own party. Being president of the United States re- quires a condition of perfect physical health. The affairs of the country are of so complex a nature, and the position of the president is such that they can- not be conducted on any part-time ba- sis. The final word as to his availabili- ty as a candidate, of course, rests with Eisenhower himself. He should be allow- ed to make that decision without pres- sure, and solely on his capability of car- rying on the job as he knows it. Despatches Confuse The Public Contradictory statements from the Middle East regarding the state of ten- sion between Israel and its Arab Neigh- bors are bound to be very confusing to the public. The other day, despatches from correspondents in that area led one to the conclusion that Israel and Jordan were massing troops on each other's borders. They would have led the reader to believe that war between Israel and the Arabs was imminent -- only a matter of hours. Immediately following these alarmist reports, came an official statement from Major-General E. M. Burns, head of the United Nations Truce Supervis- ion Organization in Jerusalem. He offi- cially informed United Nations head- quarters in New York that there were no indications of a troop build-up of any kind along Israel's borders. He had re- ceived no complaints from the Arab states charging that Israel was prepar- ing to attack Jordan, as correspondents' stories had stated. Further, he said that, Editorial Notes A Senator boasts of having worked on a farm for 75 cents a day some 60 vedars ago.

This official statement tends to make one lose faith in the despatches coming from correspondents in the Far East. One of the correspondents of a New York newspaper, in a copyrighted story, painted a lurid picture of the threat of coming hostilities. Yet according to General Burns, who because of his offi- cial position must keep in close touch with the situation. gives an entirely contrary report. His report, incidentally, was supported by similar statements from the United States, British, French and Russian embassies at Tel Aviv, What is the public to believe. There surely is enough tension in the w.rld today without having it accentuated by exaggerated reports, even false reports, emanating from newspaper correspond- ents.

The origin of it, like most rum- ors, is impossible to pin down. It is one of those things that seem- inly starts nowhere but which more and more catches up to one in conversation, 4 But one hears it a lot around the corridors these days. NO REASON There isn't even much concrete reason offered for the possible move on the part of Mr. Frost. Inevitably there are those who say that he intends to move on to Ottawa. But others say he just wants to retire to a peaceful life and have more time for relaxation. From a newspaperman's point of view there has been one de velopment which has given strength to the rumors This is the fact that at his press conferences rceently the premier almost invariably has had Treas urer Dana Porter on hand. If he were thinking of getting out and were going to hand over to Mr. Porter it would be logical to' thus break him in in advance. The newspaperman's view on the rumor itself must be that it culd make séme sense, Not that anything would be ex- nected in the near future. But that Ir. Frost has started thinking in terms of his: eventual departure. It is possible that he doesn't in- tend to fight another election, and if so he would want to start mak- ing the ground for his suceessor now. He would probably turn over to him a year or so before an elec- tion was anticipated, in order to give him enough time in office to have the prestige to go to the people--and not enough to get into serious trouble. There can be little doubt that Mr. Frost would have serious temptation to retire. Temperamentally- he is not in- clined toward the intensity of po- litical life. He is essentially a man of peace who likes a quiet life. His biggest enjoyment comes from his cottage outside Lindsay and his home - town associates there, Let him get the province set- tled away on the new phase it is entering, get taxation agreements decided, boost its revenues--whici he has been doing--and he could well decide he had made his cor tribution and has earned retirc- ment to elder statesmanship. Liquor Advertising Law Silly And Preposterous (Toronto Telegram) The statement by William Col- ings, chief commissioner of the Liquor Control Board, that he pro- poses to make a full-sale report on liquor advertising in Ontario to the Legislature offers the hope that sanity and sincerity will be introduced into regulations gov- erning liquor "advertising. Present regulations could not be more fatuous or hypocritical. If they were intended to encour- age evasion and a contemptuous attitude towards law they could not have been more accurately designed. Ostensibily, the publica- tion of liquor advertising is pro- hibited in Ontario. Actually, the province is flooded with it. Barred from "publishing" magazines with liquor advertising in Ontario, magazine publishers in this prov- ince simply print their magazines here, send them to a publishing address in Montreal from which point they are mailed back to On- tario for distribution, Nothing could be sillier. If the regulations were framed to protect Ontario's citizens from the influence of certain types of liquor advertising they could scar- HAPPY AT ESCAPING FROM REDS | just made it to a Duesseldorf It may not look like much of # home but to the woman with the brush broom it is a castle in the land of freedom. She and her family fled Communist rule in the east zone of Ger- many and crossed the border _ in their antiquated bus, They cely be more ineffective. The province is inundated not only with magazines containing liquor advertising printed in Ontario and "published" in Montreal, but also the post brings in British, American and other periodicals in which liquor advertisements ' are numerous and prominent. The so-called institutional or public service advertising which brewers are permitted to employ in Ontario is another result of the almost childish hypocrisy of pres ent regulations. The only way, it would appear, that brewers may draw attention to their product is by publishing a "message" about birds and bees or by exhorting Canadians to be Canadians. Plainly, the regulations are not merely archaic; they are prepos- terous and an affront to the intel- ligence. The Government, after all, sells liquor and obtains sub- stantial revenues from the sale. What is legal to sell should be legal to advertise within the bounds of good taste. Accordingly, the Government ought to take the sanctimony out of its regulations and put some realistic sense into them, MAC'S MUSINGS It was with feelings of Sincere regret that we Said farewell the other Day to one with whom we Have had associations On this newspaper for A period of 26 years, and Who was leaving to take A post in another city.

Beyond All Safety Devices (St. Thomas Times-Journal) One of the most shocking auto- mobile accidents in Ontario for a long time occurred early Tuesday morning near Oshawa when four people were killed and two severe- ly injured. There was no doubt as to the cause of the tragedy. One driver entered a super - highway and turned down the wrong way. So he went for 15 miles or more. Car after car saw the "wildcat" car coming along and got out of the way like scared cats, as well they might. One didn't, and they crashed head-on. Coming out of a side road a driver might be expected to know which way he should turn when he came to the highway, Even if he didn't, he should have bécome suspicious when he found he was meeting so many cars when he should not have been meeting any at all; only seeing the rear lights of cars going in the same direction. How the guilty driver came to make such a gigantic mistake will never be known. No amount of safety devices, signs or improved highways could have averted this mar - made crash. The case Is "Just another evidence of the fact oe suburb when the old bus gav its last gasp and t: d that no matter what is done in the interests of public safety, the man at the wheel needs to keep his wits about him.

Century Of Life Now Expected (Regina Leader-Post) A group of 100 European doctors and scientists met recently in Switzerland to discuss the secret of prolonging life far beyond pres- ent expectations. They expressed the belief that eventually the average human life - span could be extended to 100 and beyond. They were confident this mint happen in such a way that all the frontiers of aging would be pushed further off, so "middle-age" would not begin be- fore 60's and people would not be "elderly" before they were 80. This was no crackpot gathering but a reputable and respected body of highly trained men. Thus, it is highly probable the time will arrive when their words will have come true, though most of us, feel ing older every day, will hardly live to see it.
