The mighty Campbell roped eight out of ten awards on several oc- casions in the past decade, where- Island in Alaska— the present champion—was simply an ‘also ran’.” NURSES RESIDENCE AT SEWARD TO BE REBUILT THIS YEAR Plans for a new nurses’ residence at Seward Sanatorium have been forwarded to the U.

T "ALL ABOUT EVE" FEATURE TONIGHT AT 20TH CENTURY The widely publicized feature “All About Eve” is opening tonight at the 20th Century Theatre. There is a big cast headed by Bette Dn-( vis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders and Celesta Holm, besides others. “All About Eve” is all about women and their men. Its pene- trating story is brilliantly told; the dialogue is scintillating. The central role of aspirant Eve goes to Anne Baxter, who has won full recognition as an actress in her own right; the key part of the reigning star Eve uses to gain her ends is played by Bette Davis, her- seli the reigning Hollywood star of her time, the most honored and | the most vital woman on the screen here rewarded with what is re- portedly her choicest role in years. In the other top assignment George Sanders plays a suave, cold and sardonic Broadway columnist who rules more than one destiny with a pen, and Celeste Holm brings her rare charms to bear on the part of a woman who is in the theatre by virtue of marriage to a noted playwright, but feels the distinction of not being of the theatre in her own right. THESE DAYS By SEGRGE E. SOKOLSKY JINGCISM IN CANADA Lester B. Pearson, Canadian Secretary for External Affairs, has enounced a new foreign policy for Canada. The history of the relations between Canada and the United States has been close, co-operative and automatic. Mr. Pearson now announces that “Days of relative- ly easy and automatic political re- lations with our neighbor are, I think, over.” This news should have been as startling as our defeat in Korea, but it disappeared in the announ- cement of General Douglas Mac- Arthur’s dismissal. Yet, we have to get back to it because this coun- try cannot afford to lose the friendship of Canada, our most im- portant neighbor. Canada should mean more to the United States| than any other country, as the two peoples are economically, po- litically and defensively dependent upon each other. This is what Pearson said: “The leadership then (after the war) given by the United States cightly won our admiration, and the steps that she has taken to implement them since, deserve our deep gratitude. The rest of the world mnaturally, however, took some time to adjust itself to a some- what urexpected state of affairs. Canada, in my view at least, in not making the adjustment more quickly should surely not be crit- icized more than, say, Argentina or Egypt, or Sweden. . . . . “You may recall that it wasnot many years ago that Colonel Lind- berg suggested that Canada should be. detached from membership in the British Commonwealth of Na- tions because that International Affiliation of ours might get the United States into trouble by in- volving the larger half of North America in European wars. That seems a long time ago. There are certain people in Canada (I am not one of them), who think that the shoe, if not already on the other foot, is now being transfer- red to the other foot.” This may sound ambiguous and surprising to Americans. What it means is that Canada does not think so much of us. On April 20, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Prime Minister of Canada, Mac- Kenzie King, met at Hyde Park to form what was obviously an offen- sive and defensive alliance. The baulc paragraph of this agreement "n was agreed as a general principle that in mobilizing the re- sources of this continent each country should provide the other with the defense articles which it is best able to produce, and, above all, produce quickly, and that pro- duetion programs should be coor- dinated to this end.” A joint board of defense had been established in 1940, of which, it may. be recalled, Fiorello LaGuardia was a member. On February 12, 1947, the United States and Can- ada agreed that ‘the joint board of defense should be continued in the post-war period. The official state- ment said: . In thejinterest of efficiency and economy, each government has decided that its national defense establishment shall, to the extent authorized by law, continue to col- J. A. Durgin Company, lllc.

" On June 11, 1947, President Tru- man, speaking at Ottawa, said: “The permanent joint board on defense will continue to function. I wish to emphasize, in addition to the word permanent, the other two parts of the title. The board is joint, being composed of represent- atives of each country. Canada and the United States participate on the basis of equality, and the savereignty of each is carefully re- spected. This was true during the gravest days of the war and it will continue to be true, in keeping with the nature of all/our joint undertakings.” What Lester Poarson’s statement amounts to is that the United Btates is further isolated. Who are our allies, our friends? Since 1938, patriotic American citizens have been attacked and smeared and abused and’ called “isolationists,” for political advantage. These men never sought isolation for the Uni- ted States. What they sought was a strong, prepared, independent country that never compromised on its right of choice—choice as to allies, choice as to time and place of defense and attack, choice to make its own decisions. Under the management of Dean Acheson, we have lost all that. We are becoming bogged down with United Nations compromises. Even Canada goes back on us. Even Canada announces, through its foreign minister, that it joins with the countries that, having accepted America’s friendship and bounty, turn on us in the moment of our danger. We have indeed become isqla- tionist by the Acheson-Truman diplomacy.
