The division becomes even less severe as a Yesult of the recent conferences between _‘the-two nations regarding civil defense. seeseenee * individual obsessed ~- A joint committee: which met recent- -ly in Washington agreed to seek an easy: interchange of people and equipment so as to reduce the obstacles in the way of mu- tual assistance. For civil defense purposes, ithe border is to be ignored as far as possi- ble. e ; The likenesses between Canadians and Americans have for more than a cen- tury and’a half been greater than the dif- ferences, which are mostly. superficial. Common aims and ideals have made for excellent relations between the two coun- tries. Every man’s business is “big” to him and his family. + ..

DANGER IN UNITED NATIONS’ | PROPOSALS Among the sideline occupations of the United Nations has been the establish- ment of a number of commissions for the purpose of drawing up fundamental rules | to regulate the conduct and well-being of people throughout the world. .There was one appointed on human rights which proceeded to draft a conven ant to incorporate into international treat- | ies prescriptions concerning the relations:| between the individual and his govern- ment. Since ratification of any such treaty by the United States will make the terms of the treaty superior to state and federal laws, the Senate should be very careful | about ratifying any pacts. This is obvious because the English-speaking nations | constitute a small minority of the members of the commissions and most of the rep- | resentatives are not familiar with the de- velopment of freedoms in the Western world. They know little or nothing about the processes of democracy as we practice them, and, in their zeal, may do more harm than good. As one observer reports, the pacts that emerge contain numerous so-called economic and social rights, A Yugoslav child shall have “the right to compulsory education.” The plain intimation is that the members of the commission cannot mean rights, as we understand them in the United States, but refer to something that is, or ought to be, “good for” every- body. The covenant on human rights did not fojlow the practice or example of the American Bill of Rights. Our own docu- ment, contained in amendments to the Constitution, sets up a series of bans against governmental interference with | the rights of individuals. They were deem- ed necessary to prevent a government from transgressing upon the liberties of its people. The United;Nations document, however, undertakes no such function but rather attempts to vest certain rights upon individuals against their government and everybody else. uy The United Nations could serve a very useful function in‘ ‘the world if it de- .voted itself to a conscientious effort to set up.machinery to keep. the peace of the world. This problen is big enough to en- gage the attention le entire organiza- tion. It would be mof¢ apt to succeed if the international organization did not dissi- pate its energy and finds upon fantastic projects to guarantee rights to all human beings and to transform the social order in order to improve thé living conditions of the world’s population. Children are not the only persons who go in for this “let’s pretend” business. Some of our so-called~ leaders are great believers in “front”.

They} have decided to call for bids to repair the runways at Meacham Airport. Furthermore, they’ve selected Faraldo to supervise the work—a fine and log choice. Knowing Faraido and the in- terest he h hown in develop- ing commercial air traffic, I think he will do everything in his pow-| er to accomplish the work that| has to be done at Meacham Field. Since he is more interested in|} aviation than he is in politics, he will “holler bloody murder” if political red-tape hinders him too much.

Ronee blood serum, will reveal the presence of cancer with an aceuracy of more than ninety-eight per cent df tests already made are correct. 3 The new substance was reported to those attending the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Re- search, Inc., after experiments carried out at the University of California School of Medicine at Los Angeles by a team of in- vestigators headed by Dr. Harry S. Penn. The experts say that such a test could be used in the mass screening of the popula- tion for detecting cancer in its early stages when it is still a curable disease. The new substance can be produced in quantity. It will be more available than the earlier test substance derived from the liver of patients who died of cancer. The lattef was naturally scarce but the new substance is expected to break the bottle neck that has hitherto prevented large scale tests of human beings. The doctors report that the new sub- stance, when mixed with the blood serum of a subjéct, reveals cancer by curdling in about the manner that milk curdles when mixed with lemon juice. Where there is no cancer present, no curdling takes place. If this report means that in the near future there will be: available a_ reliable test to determine whether an _ individual has cancer it will be the means of saving the lives of thousands and thousands of American citizens. Letus hope that the doctors and scientists will speed the de- velopment and production of the new sub- | Stance. “he this week’s columns to Jand in the wastepaper basket, One of these dealt with the Tr ‘ac- Arthur controversy.
