Red China Seems Tred Of It All What is happening to the for- eign policy of Peking? A tired dragon is showing .a wan and forced smile, It appears chiefly on the face of the foreign min- ister, Marshal Chen. Some weeks ago he began spreading a new line of confidential candor and something approaching ap- peasement at the Geneva con- ference on Laos, He himself ex- plained the reason for it. China's economic strains, he told a diplomat, are so severe that even if China wanted to fight a war -- which he asserted it did not -- it was in no posi- tion to do so. Since then information has been coming in from many direc- tions to confirm this. The best information available to the United States Government from a fresh survey of the situation now caps the various private sources of information. Commun- ist China, it indicates, is in a much worse plight, a much more serious breakdown of its admin- istrative and industrial as well as ° its farm systems, than the out- side world had recognized. There is no visible rebellion, either now or in sight for the future, although there is specu- lation on what might happen if an army almost entirely of peas- ants were to ferment. Patience is ingrained to a pitiful degree in China. A Washington official is quoted by the New York Times as saying the reaction in China to the spreading break- down, malnutrition, stoppages of industry for lack of materials, return to the country of many who went to the city for succor, and the like is, "apathy, dejec- tion, demoralization, desponden- " cy, and despair." Il feeling toward the Soviet Union stems in part from this situation. At Geneva Marshall ~Chen_went so far as to tell a Western diplomat privately that Moscow had let the Commun- ists down in their hour of need. 8upporting information fr the Communist Chinese press indi- cates that the Russian leaders continue to exact payments for earlier aid to China, despite China's desperate scramble for foreign exchange to buy food abroad. A slight easing toward the West is understandable, ac- cording to an editorial in the Christian Science Monitor. In an interview with the Swiss radio, Marshal Chen said it was "rather nice" of President Ken- nedy to give assurances to Pe- king that he would not permit the Chinese Nationalists to start __%way jn the Formosa Strait. And back in China he sald at a party gos he had assured Raisin of ate Dean Rusk that Ching would not upset the agreement {0 neutralize Laos. Right now they face what looks -- for the present anyhow 5 like something far more than & series of famines: like the fail- ure of communism as a system. They could act in desperation and try to distract local wrath with foreign quarrels, But fortu- nately they seem to realize they sould easily overstrain them- selves by this traditional man- euver and perhaps lose every- thing. Washington, for - its part, watches and is glad the Chinese Communist leaders are too roud, apparently, to ask for ood and other help, to bail out their hard-pressed system. This Is a time to let the Communists live with the flaws in their dog- ma and hopefully to loosen its thrall. Je SEN SECA Communism may be going ¥hrough extremely grave re- verses or actually failing; we sannot say. In either case, and for whatever reasons of dissimu- Jation, we are glad to see a smile however rueful or transient. It ¥ far preferable to the madness which could erupt from so se- rere a national frustration. gached THIS TIME OF YE RN iS ' R -- This is what's taking place "down under" in Australia while the northern hemisphere sizzles in summer's heat, Robyn Bellamy left, and Tania Verstak, a former "Miss Australia," built this snowman outside the chalet in the Kosciusko State Park. Never A Life Lost Through Neglect! There is perhaps no more striking achievement in the struggle for human security than the fact that, in 122 years of operation, the Cunard line has never lost a single passen- ger's life through accident or neglect. And this has been against that = stupendous = and often malevolent hazard, the Atlantic Ocean. Warren Tute's history' of steam navigation on those waters, 'Atlantic Con- "quest," is compact, balanced, and dramatic. Lieutenant Commanrd- er Tute, RIN. (Ret) is a sea writer and novelist of zest and directness ("The Cruiser," "The Rock," "Leviathan") and a liter- ary. voyage with Tute at the helm is efficient business. Fortunately, he is no taciturn tar, and he likes to talk about other men. Thus "Atlantic Con- quest" turns out to be essenti- ally a story of human skills and spirit and the great ocean is made to yield to the puny , strength of man -- much of the time. Steam power was early re- garded as a foolish presumption over sail, but wooden paddle- wheelers slowly broke the prej- _udice.-In 1819 the 300-ton aux- iliary steam packet Savannah vin i days and fifteen hours (steaming 80 hours of the way). Her instigators have been forgotten and she drew curlosity but as a business .venture she was a flop; this, however, was the first crossing of a major ocean by a steam-engined ship. Next, in 1838, the little Sirius of the British and American line (conceived by an American, Dr. Junius Smith) steamed Into New York from England, a few hours ahead of the much larger, 1,340 - ton British - owned Great Western, designed by the "little giant" engineer, Isambard King- dom Brunel, who was later to produce the first iron steamship driven by propeller. In 1840 the Cunard crowd was in action with three steamships. This was a stellar group of men headed by Samuel Cunard, a solid Quaker merchant and ship- owner from Halifax, N.S. and Robert Napier, the scrupulous. Scottish builder who may be re- garded as the father of Clyde- side ship engineering. Safety was their cry, and safety was their reward. The list of great Atlantic en~ 'trepreneurs goes on. In 1850 Ed- ward Knight Collins, a Cape Cod sailing scion and pioneer of high a N BELLA ARRIVES -- Algerian strongman Ahmed Ben E Belle left, partially hidden, set Np political shop in Algiers. g e is shown here on arrival In a 3 3S oT ES EE A iers, iverpool from New | 45 the famous Capt C. | nd of fhe rd speed, took the mythical Blue Riband for Atlantic speed from the Cuucarders (crossings were then made in ten days). Within a decade, Collins had failed, due largely to shipwrecks, in which he lost his own wife, son and daughter. In 1870 Thomas Ismay, son of a small Cumberland ship- ° builder, "challenged the Cunard- ers with his White Star line, offering more capacity, speed, and luxury. Ismay was a busi- ness master with two unusual guiding principles: (1) If you have a good thing don't be greedy -- let others have some; (2) "don't let weak competition ° fail, lest strong rivalry take its place. Warren Tute also pays vivid attention to men who faced the Atlantic on the deck rather than on- the balance sheets. The early "Atlantic captains, especially "as elegance and publicity became a part of their liners, were some- thing like national heroes. At one point Tute claims that he does not grasp the exact dis- tinction between three captains who were described in 1886 as "a sailor, 'a social sailor, and a calico captain." But if a "social sailor" be taken to mean an agreeable, talkkatlve marines, and a "calico captain" a favour. 'ite withthe ladies, then surely the plain term "sailor" appiith a line. Once, when a woman passenger approached him as the ship neared Newfoundland and ask- ed: "Ohl Captain, do tell me, Is it always as foggy and nasty as this off the nks?" Cap- tain Judking replied: "How the devil do I know, Madam? I don't . lve here." Old Man River -- He Zigs and Zags! Old Map River doesn't always keep rolling along -- at least not along the Texas boundary with Mexico. Rio Grande is his name, and he likes #0 wander back and forth. One year south. Another year north. He zigs and zags on his way to the Gulf of Mexi- co, as if hn enjoyed making mis- chief between neighbours. Over the years, Mexicans and Americans have traded back and forth some 25,000 acres of river land, for a net loss of 9,000 acres to the United States But El (®amizal is a piece of mischief that goes back to be- fore the tufn of the century and it still has the» mapmakers so eonfused that some think own- ership will never be decided President Kennedy hopes it will. When he was in Mexico last June, he signed an agreement with President Lopez Mateos to seek a solution which does not prejudice the juridical' position --of either éountry. El Chdmizal is the. size of a small cattle ranch --, 636 acres of desert land -- but it happens to link the cities of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexi- co. as - -- When the United States won Texas in the war 'with Mexico, the Rio Grande became the in- ternational boundary .by mutual consent. The agreement was for- malized In 1852. Then the river began shifting south, and after a great flood in 1864 Mexicans living just below the river found themselves on the north bank with the people of El Paso, { That -is wien the' arguments began, but not until 1010 was the dispute submitted to an in Wa .arbitration commis- sion, The. rules of International law |. lect the owners of flood-plain nd according to how the nivef made its new division, A fast di- visibn by flo of earthquake et | LANA 5 LE 4 NS !

The United States claimed that El Chamizal had been re- moved from the Mexican side by erosion and deposited on the north bank by accretion. Mexico contended that the land was removed by flood and hence re- mained the soil of Mexico. The 'Canadian presiding over the arbitration commission rul- ed that the changes that occur- red from 1852 to 1864 had been caused by gradual erosion and thal those dating from 1864 re- sulted from sudden shifts of the current. With the, concurrence of the Mexican member of the commission, he awarded = to Mexico two-thirds of the acre- age or that land which lay south of the river in 1864, writes Marion Wilhelm in the Christian Science Monitor. This ruling was refused by the United States on the grounds that no one could say where the river had been in the flood year and that a division of the tract was not within the man- date of the commission, "Ever since, Mexico has refus- ed to arbitrate any other inter- - national problem with the Unit- ed States, and the Chamizal has become a bitter bone of conten- tion between the peoples of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso. El Paso has been growing southward. Two city primary schools, one high school, a pack- ing -plant, and a sewage plant are inside the disputed tract. With President Kennedy com- mitted to settle the Chamizal ownership once and for all -- he told a news conference in' Wash- ington he thought the United States had been wrong to refuse the arbitration decision -- the United States has come up with a compromise offer to Mexico. The plan is to rechannel the river bed to a more northerly route which leaves part of the Chamizal in the city of El Paso but gives equivalent acreage farther downstream to Ciudad Juarez.

Insuring Dogs Brisk Business Insurance companies in Den~ mark are doing good business-- insuring dogs. Not only in Co- penhagen, where traffic risks are perhaps highest, but throughout the entire country, owners can take out canine life policies to "cover" thelr dogs against all hazards. Leading insurance companies work to actuarial tables, show- ing caning expectation of life, bread by breed, for both sexes. owever, claims arise frequent ly. Premature ageing, due 40 Improper feeding, accounts for almost as many casualties as traffic accidents. Last year Dan- ish companies paid out over $4,000,000 on 11,135 claims under the heading of -dog insurance. Precautions have to be taken against fraud, and a "black list" of unscrupulous owners circu- lates among companies. For, since dogs first became an ac- eeptable insurance risk in 1938, several Dblacklegs have (tried hard to profit by 'doing in" heavily insured dogs, and col- lecting the cash. One such swin- dler operated under 1130 differ- ent names, But today, though false claims still arise, the way of the "dirty dog racketeer" becomes harder and harder. : Happy is the man who can en- dure the highest and lowest for- tune. -He who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.

Street, Ashland, Wiscon- sin, Song Of The Rails Being Silenced The Pennsylvania Railroad's scheme to take the clickety- clack out of its trains is a devel- opment we view with muted en- thusiasm. Some people just don't know when to stop. First they take the steam locomotives away, and along with them the sky-howling whistles that be- came the glorious hallmarks of railroading. Now comes a con- spiracy, of which the Pennsy is only one of the guilty parties, to silence the rhythm of the rails by welding the segments to- gether into one long smooth snake, The metronomic "clickety - clack, clickety-clack, clickety- clack" is made, as every young- ster learns when wheels jump from rail to rail. The "jump," of course, is only the distance of one little crack where rail ends "meet, but it's enough to turn one's thoughts to the drama of the railroad, to remind the tra- veler of the genius, the patience and industry of the men who dared to dream so long ago that the continent could be crossed by an iron horse. To a few, the clickety-clack is a long journey"s welcome lul- laby. To others it's a jolting nuisance, as unwelcome as the water cure or a non-stop alarm clock set for split-second out- bursts. We suppose it's to the latter type, with ears untuned to this kind of music, that the railroads fare bent on catering as they substitute clickey-clackless ribbons of steel a thousand feet long for the individual segments. | That's progress, allegedly. A smoother ride, to be sure;.a silent. glide unsullied by either click or clack. But unadorned, let us not forget, by one of the great melodies of the westward move- ment and the industrial revolu-, tion, a melody grown rich with age. We will miss its strains. --New York Herald Tribune. How Can I? By Roberta Lee Q. How can I keep low-necked dresses from -constantly slipping off the wire hangers in my closet? A.
