Page 6 Wednesday, February 27, 1957 Britain And Greece Urged To Settle Cyprus Dispute The political committee of the United Nations apparently wanted no part of interfering in the long-drawn out dispute between Britain and Greece over the future status of Cyprus. By an overwhelming vote of 76 to 0 it rejected a Greek appeal for intervention, and called for new nego- tiations to find an acceptable solution to the Cyprus problem. This unanimous vote does not, how- ever mean that the 76 countries vot- ing for further negotiations are satis- fied to allow matters to stand as they are. The resolution expressed an earn- est desire that a peaceful, democratic and just solution will be found in accord with the principles of the United Nations Charter, There were some delegates who advocated inde- pendence for Cyprus. But the British representative interpreted the resolu- tion as showing a widespread feeling that Britain, Greece and Turkey should be left to settle the problem by them- selves. How far the suggested negotiations will go depends largely on the attitude of Greece. Greece does not want in- depence for Cyprus. It wants Cyprus to become a Geek province, regardless of the fact that 20 per cent of its people are Turkish. In view of the fact that Cyprus has never at any time belonged to Greece, there seems little validity for that demand. One might also add that success. ful negotiations cannot be carried on in an atmosphere of terrorism and bloodshed, created by the Cypriots and aided and abetted by - Greece. We agree with the British view that the terrorism and slaughter be stopped as a pre-requisite to any kind of negotiations, The Greek lead- ers who are fostering acts of violence in Cyprus are not helping the cause of the Cypriots. Rather it can be said that they are hurting the cause they espouse, and delaying a just settle- ment. Negotiations undertaken in a sincere spirit of seeking a fair solu- tion to the problems of Cyprus can only succeed in®an atmosphere of trust and understanding. Lo Foreign Relations Forum Citizens of Oshawa who are in- terested in being well-informed on international affairs will welcome the opportunity to attend the Foreign Re- lations Forum which is to be held in the Hotel Genosha on Saturday after- noon. Although this forum is being sponsored by the Twentieth Century Club, an organization of one of our political parties, its approach to foreign relations questions will not be political in character. This is ensured by the fact that the chief speaker and'forum leader will be Prof. Edger W. McInnes, formerly of the University of Toronto. Prof. McInnes is president of the Canadian Institute of International affairs, which is an entirely non-political body. There are few men in Canada who have so profound a knowledge and so keen a grasp of foreign affairs as he does. He has served as a member of the Canadian delegation to the United Nations, and at many other important international assemblies. His leadership of the Oshawa forum on Saturday makes it an outstanding occasion, All citizens of Canada should have a keen interest in foreign affairs. Re- cently the Public -ffairs Committee of the Oshawa Y)CA held some in- teresting discussion group meetings on the U.N.,, UNICEF, UNESCO and NATO. They were informative and valuable to those who attended and took part. But unfortunately the at- tendance was not such as to indicate any burning desire on the part of citi- zens generally to become better in- formed on international affairs. This is not as it should be in an era when Canada is so deeply unvolved in the momentous events taking place on the world scene. It is to be hoped the at- tendance at the forum on Saturday afternoon will be large enough to justify the efforts of its sponsors. UN. Has Preserved Peace The question of Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and the Aqaba region seized in the raid on Egypt last November is still a thorny ques- tion for the United Nations General Assembly. The assembly is divided on the question of whether or not sterner measures should be taken to compel that withdrawal. The United States has been trying desperately to avoid the penalties provided in the U.N. charter being applied to Israel. It would appear that something like a stalemate has been reached, and in the present state of affairs in the Near East, that could be dangerous. While it may seem to many that the United Nations Organization has been ineffective in its efforts to find a complete answer to Near East prob- lefs, it has to be recognized that it has been able to restore and preserve peace there, uneasy as that peace may be. It was entirely due to the speedy intervention of the United Nations Bible Thoughts Humanity has been stumbling blindly rying to find a way to God.

It was due to the speedy formation of the United Na- tions Emergency Force that Britain and France withdraw their troops from Egypt. Most important of all, the United Nations action frustrated the Russian plans to send large forces of "volunteers" to the Near East. Had that taken peace, there would still be hostilities in that part of the world, and we might even be now en- gaged in the Third World War. So it has to be recognized that in spite of all the criticisms that have been levelled at the United Nations Organization it has been a very effective instrument for halting the incipient war in Egypt and forestal- ling incidents which might have led to a much greater coflict. We are hopeful that the impasse reached with Israel will eventually be solved, and without any more fighting and what- ever credit may be apportioned for this will undoubtedly go to the United Nations Organization.

Other Editors' Views 5-YEAR PERMIT (Ottawa Journal) The province of Alberta is putting into el- fect this year a system of issuing driving permits for five-year periods insttead of an- nually as is the practice elsewhere. Permits are to date from the driver's birth. day and will cost $5 for the full time the present fee is a dollar a year, so there is no increase. On behalf of the change: it is.argued that the new system will make it easier to maintain a complete file on' every driver and to sort out and deal with those prone to accidents. Even tually it is the plan that a driving test shall be required before each five-year renewal as it is required now on the first of a permit Other provinces will no doubt study this in- teresting departure from custom. issue Zon Zi You'Re GETTING THE LINE UNTANGLED BUT LOOK WHO'S 3 { KNow STANDING ON DAG'S SERVICE STATION GALLUP POLL OF CANADA New Leadership Helping P.C's In West, Poll Finds By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION years across the Dominion: against the Gallup Poll's fore- with "If a federal election were held cast of the national vote in Aug- vakia, Chamberlain, By M. McINTYRE HOOD The great drawback to the St. Lawrence navigation route into the heart of Canada is found in the fact that the river is closed to navigation for over four months of every year. This is because the river is icebound and unsafe for shipping. At places along its course even its mighty flow is not sufficient to prevent the formation of an icy covering. This is one of the handicaps imposed by the kind of climate we have in the section of Canada through which the St. Lawrence flows. Because of this, we are in- trigued by a report on an experi- ment which has been carri at Prescott, on the St. Lawrence. The experiment, actually, is an adaptation of a plan used in Sweden to keep harbors free of ce. Up until this year the Prescott and Ogdensburg Ferry Company had its spare ferry locked in ice at the dock all winter. Normally, it has three ferries available. In winter, two operate 'between Pres- cott and Ogdensburg. The third is held in reserve for use in emer- ®ency, and is tied up to the ferry slip, In past years it has always been frozen in solidly. If the com- pany needed it in an emergency, only the ice-breaking efforts of a sister ship and considerable man- ual effort would free it from the ce. SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT This winter, the ferry is floating in a large area of open water in front of the dock. The experiment M which brought this about seems relatively simple, and it was com- pletely successful. It is based on the fact that water reaches fits maximum density and lies at or near the bottom of a lake or river at over 3.29.20 degrees Fahrenheit, By blowing air bubbles through non - corrosive perforated poly- thene pipe, lying near the bottom, OTTAWA REPORT United Nations Futility Felt OTTAWA "Support of the United Nations is not an adequate substitute for a foreign policy." In these words, John Diefen- baker summed up to me the grave anxiety felt by a wide section of thinking Canadians over the past three months; an anxiety, I must report to you, which is increas- ingly disquieting many people in this capital.

This is the first release on party standings since the November 1956 study published a week or so before the election of John Diefenbaker as Leader of the Opposition. Apart from these regional vari- ations the national totals remain much the same as they were late last year, showing a 1 percentage point gain for the Conservatives, matched by a 1 percentage point loss for the Liberal party.

This it hasn't done, It has proposed that there be further study by experts. But its main recommendations are only extensions or revisions of the prese.. system. Essentially these recommenda- tions are: That there be an increase in gasoline tax to enable to speed- up in highway construction: The the P.G.V. license system should be revised so that all trucks, private as well as public, pay their share of the cost; That diesel oil and any other fuels should pay an equitable share of tax; That car licensing be put on a weight basis. . Thet new roads be partially fi- nanced through 20-year bonds to spread the cost over an extended period and ensure that they will be proceeded with no matter what the economic conditions of the moment. On toll roads the committee wasn't much more definite than in its interim report last year when it made a most ambiguous statement, The present system, including Highways 400, 401 and the Queen Elizabeth Way, it believes should remain free. But it does propose that tk> new Burlington Skyway and Welland Canal bridge should be tolled. The strongest reason it gives for the latter is that the bulk of the travel on both structures would be from out of the province, The reasons against imposing fees on present highways mainly involve the high cost of converting them and the inconvenience to present users. 2 erhaps the most pertinent point in the report {s that the weight-distance principle is the one that sheuld ideally be followed iu highway taxation.

Over - all, one would say the committee has made some Inter- esting proposals but had come up with no general solution of the highway: problem. The most valuable thing it has done probably is to put an accent on the need for such a solution which will bring about further studies which may produce one. MAC'S MUSINGS Most, if not all, of the Strife and turmoil we Have in the world today Arises from the fact That people of all nations Have acquired the habit To a greater degree Than ever before, of Thinking nationally, Ignoring the fact that all Are citizens of the world. Extreme nationalism has Always been one of the Curses of mankind, and Has been the root cause Of practically all the Wars that have caused Death and destruction Through the centuries Since the world began. Today that nationalism, In spite of the creation Of the United Nations, Is more, rampant than It has ever been, and The spokesmen for nations As well as their people Are thinking only of their Own individual interests Rather in terms of what Is best for all mankind. We see little hope for Security which it brings So long as nationalism Is the keynote of policy For the world's nations, Because until the rights Of others are recognized In a spriit of true World citizenship, things Cannot change very miucn FLEW TO COAST MORRO BAY, Calif. (AP)--A monarch butterfly which is be- lieved to have flown from Toronto to "the Pacific Ocean's edge in California will be sent to Canada, Its finder noticed a tag on one wing which asked that the butter fly be returned to the Royal On tario Museum at Toronto which is studying migration of the wmon- archs, That radio speech carried me back over two decades of hot war and cold war and uneasy peace, in which the West's leaders--with one notable exception--have fum- bled and stumbled and been out- witted by ruthless demagogues: Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mossa- degh, Kruschchev, Nasser. Why has this crisis impacted upon our consciousness so sud- denly? Why is it such a surprise to so many people? Four months ago, in the face of ample and obvious omens, John Foster Dulles reported that all was well in the Middle East. The next day, he and his compatriots had their unawareness shattered by the crash action taken by their allies. Since then, we have never been honestly warned of the magnitude of world danger. On the contrary, we have been lulled into a false complacency by soothing plati- tudes about the United Nations, and Canada's popularity there. Did you ever try to shelter from an H-bomb under popularity? And what can the United Na- tions achieve to maintain peace? It can, and it certainly does, pass resolutions. But did Russia heed its resolutions about Hungary? Did India respond to its resolu- tions about Kashmir? Did Egypt halt her seven years of truce- breaking at the bidding of a reso- lution? U.N. POWER So what did the UN do to dis- cipline disobedient India, with its 400,000,000 citizens? Or to discip- line the Russian nation of 180,000, 000? Or even to discipline Egypt, a country of 22,000,007? The UN lifted many voices in protest, but could not lift one finger in retribution; it could not stop one shot being fired; it could not stop one victim being mur- dered. But then comes the affair of lit- tle Israel, with a population of only 2,00,000 and entirely depen- dent upon world goodwill for its very existence. The UN feels strong enough to discipline this pygmy. although it is scared wit- less of the larger trespassers. It scolds Israel for defending itself against its bigger aggressor; it demands that Israel should desist from taking the very same action which USA herself took against Japan when likewise attacked fif- teen years ago. But in a snow-down, what can the UN do to preserve world peace? It is a mere debating shop, in which 146,000 Icelanders lop- sidedly wield as potent a vote as do 400,000,000 Indians; a gas- works without teeth; a propa- ganda forum without a weapon; a world authority whose police force can only police with the permis- sion of those policed. John Diefenbaker is right. De- pendence upon the UN is not an adequate substitute for a foreign policy, It is a sweet but prema- ture dream, from which we must wake up, and get back to the real- ities of diplomacy and alliances for mutual protection. Qil Reported In Sahara By DAVID MASON HASSEI MESSAOUD (AP)-- Rich, yellow-green crude oil Is bubbling out of the sand dune wastes here of the Algerian Sa- hara. - French petroleum engineers, scarcely hiding their optimism be- neath professional reserve, believe they have tapped several high grade pools. A major oil, source of her own would free France of dependency on the Suez Canal. : There are two pressing consid- erations: : Can the oil be transported eco- nomically hundreds of miles north- ward to Mediterranean ports? Can France hold onto Algeria, deeply torn by a Nationalist revolt for necrly 28 months? LONG SUSPECTED Geologists have long suspected oil wealth beneath the virtually trackless Algerian Sahara. With the improvement of exploration Desert methods and desert transport the French have been able to sink the costly wells. Coupled with the heavy expense of transporting drilling equipment is the human porblem of man against the merciless heat, knifing sandstorms and always the short- ag» of water. And the nationalist rebellion has spilled over into the desert, necessitating constant mil. itary protection at some of the ex- ploration sites. Algeria yielded promising flows of oil at three desert points last year. Gas indicating exploitable oil has been found at other loca- tions. THE PRIZE FIND The prize discovery came last August here at Hassi Messaoud, a bleak, rough desert flat, 63 miles southeast of the deep green oasis town of Ouargla. Some 400 miles southeast of Algeria, Hassi Messaoud is virtually isolated ex- cept by air or camelback. beneath the ferry, 40 foot lengths under each side, and a 170-foot length beneath the keel, extend- ing almost to the mouth of the slip. All were anchored a foot from the bottom of the slip and connected with a compressor on the dock. The compressor de livers 50 cubic feet of air per min- ute, forced through holes spaced along the plastic pipe. It has been found that one bubble stream will keep open a patch of water of a diameter equal to the depth from hich the bubbles rise. Thus the rocess works better in deep than in shallow water, CLEARED LARGE AREA This year the ice was about a foot thick at the Prescott ferry slip when the experiment was started. Within three days, all of it had melted except for a 1 piece clinging to the rudder. The original idea was to clear the ice from the immediate vicinity of the slip. The: action of the 'warm' water on the ice around the slip, however, combined with the currents on the open water, cleared. the whole of the 4000 square foot slipway of ice. This successful experiment was undertaken in anticipation of greater ice problems coming with the higher water and lessened current resulting from completion of the St. Lawrence seaway. Re- sults 'were even better tham ex- pected. And they lead one to swonder if this scheme is the an- swer to keeping formerly ice-lock- ed harbors clear and open during the winter months. Go by bus.
