Poge 4 Soturday, May 28, 1960 More Fallout Evidence Found In Teenage Diet A continuing study of the effects of radioactive fallout on food is being made in the United States by the non- profit, non-commercial consumer or- ganization, Consumers Union. The latest report on this study appears in the cur- rent Consumer Reports, the organiza- tion's monthly publication. It is sharply eritical of the U.S. government's system of monitoring of radioactivity and points to "the urgent need for system- atic monitoring of Strontium-80 in the total diet without delay." What the report says of the situa- tion in the United States is largely applicable in Canada, and for that reason warrants eonsideration. "The first nuclear bomb was ex- ploded 15 years ago," the publication states. "It took the world 13 years to call a temporary halt, and it took the U.S. government even longer to arrive at a policy of full disclosure of the facts it gathered about fallout. Around the results of the new candor, however, a tragicomic realization is beginning to dawn: the government hadn't compiled very much information to hide, Critics who assumed the federal government was holding back a mountain of reveal- ing information on fallout in the human food. supply were grossly mistaken. There has been absolutely no system- atic monitoring of milk or ether foods." The Consumer tests were conducted on food, milk and drinking water, rep~ resenting the total food and water in- take of a hur gry teenager for a full two weeks, The samples were collected in co-operation with the home economics departments of colleges and universities in 24 U.S. cities and one city in Canada --Quebec City. The teenage level was chosen because, with such a wide var- ity of foods included, the samples also were fairly representative of the diet of somewhat younger children and of older persons who drink milk. In ad- dition to testing the total diet, CU made separate checks of milk in eight of the 25 cities. It was found that. in terms of strontium units, the level of Strontium- 90 in the diet of young Americans was significantly higher than has been in- dicated by tests of milk alone. In 19 of the cities, the concentrations were fourd to be higher than the average which the U.S. Public Health Service found in its "somewhat limited samp- lings" of milk during the same period. There was considerable variation from city to city, which weakened the value of average figures. There may be some dispute with the findings. But we can certainly agree with the report, that "accurate assessment of radiation hazards now is vital." Statement Of Obvious We look forward eagerly each month to the treasury of homely wisdom gent out by the information services division of the department of national health and welfare. It carries the pro- saic title of "Press Fillers", which really doesn't do it justice; the seething minds that make up the information services division should be able to pro- vide something better, particularly gince they have had lots of time to think about it--the fillers have been produced regularly for many years. The fillers give kindly warning, terse advice and raise the statement of the obvious to the level of high art. Our dull little minds are constantly being opened to new vistas of under- standing, Did you realize, for example, that "swimming is a valuable skill and ean be learned in a few lessons by most people"? That's the first bit of in- formation provided in the June edition of the fillers. And on the same page is this: Cosmetics earry directions for use eompiled by the manufacturer, in order that the product used to its best advantage." We are told, too, that it's better not to employ a babysitter who has a cold; that houseflies, carriers of disease germs, "start to breed in spring and by June have increased the fly population enormously": "durir summer, the body loses more water through pers- piration"; and "milk requires constant refrigeration, especially in warm weather," The information services division must be in a constant creative agony, producing gems like that. As a matter of fact, it had better be, if only to just- ify the money it takes to support it---- money that comes from our pockets. Reactionaries might even suggest that the money it takes to produce these Press Fillers (which rarely if ever fill any "press"), might be put to better use. But then we would never learn that "swimming is a valuable skill," ete, may be Defender For Public It was just 30 years ago that Lord Hewart, then Britain's lord chief justice, published a book ealled The New Des- potism, For him, even back then, the new despot was the bureaucratic despot and he charged that the situation in England was "administrative lawless- ness" rather than "administrative law". Lord Hewart's outcry led to the ap- pointment of a committee on ministers' powers and, finally, to the imposition of some limits and safeguards. But the success that Lord Hewart achieved has been lost in the postwar expansion of government activities and now there is growing opinion in Britain that the power -of bureaucracy is seo great that there is need for a public de- fender. A non-partisan organization of British lawyers, called Justice, recently invited to a series of public appearances in Britain a Professor Stephan Hurwitz of Denmark whose job in effect is te protect the citizens of Denmark from their government, His title is Ombuds~ man, and although his office was creat~ ed only five years ago the Swedes have had an ombudsman for 150 years and the Finns for 40 years. The Nor= wegians are about to create a similar post. and it seems possible that the British may follow suit. In the Scandinavian countries the ombudsman is appointed by parliament to hear citizens' complaints of mis- treatment by government officials. He The Oshavon Times Y. L.

Other Editor's Views BOERS AND BOURBONS (Racine, Wis, Journal-Times) When the French monarchy was swept away to the guillotine in a bloody revolution, the fall of the Bourbon royalty was explained thus by one observer: "The Bourbons mever learned anything, and they never forgot any- thing." The Boer government of South Africa might learn something from that epi- gram, because it appears that the South African whites are neither learning nor forgetting in their racist policies. And, like the Bourbons, they face a real pos- sibility of being swept away in an uprising so bloody that it would make the French revolution look like a Sun- day school picnie.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent for The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The chief reaction of the British press and public to the collapse of the Summit Meeting in Paris before it really started is one of deep disappoint- ment and disillusion. It has taken several days for the brutal fact that there were to be no summit talks to sink into the public mind. Even after the initial violent out- burst of Nikita Khrushchev, there were hopes that son ing might be salvaged from the wreckage, that having made his prog r point, Krushchev would be to go on with discussions of other matters To Britons, it seems almost in- eredible that ell the hard and painstaking work of Prime Min- ister Macmillan gone for nought, Having succeeded in his efforts to secure a summit meet- ing, there were high hopes that at the Paris sessions he would be able to lay the foundations for a series of such meetings at which the problems dividing east and west could be solved. Even in the first flush of excitement at the re- velation of the United States spy episode, that hope persisted There was a feeling that in spite of the bungled handling of that in- cident by Washington, it would not be allowed to interfere with the normal progress of the sum mit meeting. Hence the shock to the public mind when it was fi nally realized that the summit meeting had been deliberately sabotaged by the Russian Prime Minister HAD GREAT FAITH Prior to this regrettable inci dent, there was a large measure BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO The Ontario County Children's Aid Society Board presented In- spector Elliott . with new 490 Chevrolet touring car H.

They were willing to ac- cept his stalements along that ine as indicating a change of wind in Russian policy. They had faith, also in the ability of Prime Minister Macmillan as a skilful negotiator, and optimistic that he would be able to exiract something of value from the dis cussions Their hopes rudely shattered, the Brifish people are angry that Mr. Macmillan has been let down 50 badly aft more than a year of pain g preparation for the summit meeting. No one dares to predict what lies ahead. But in some quarters there is confidence that the present deadlock will in due time be resolved, and a fresh start made towards a renewal of plans for the series of summit meetings so rudely interrupted That is the most for which any- one dares to hope TORIES TRIUMPH The depth to which Labor party ink in the esti mation of the Britsh voters was made clear in the results of the May municipal elections. The large number of Conservative gains from the Socialists exceed- ed fonde the Tor- es. The swing st Labor was even more deci than in the mentary elections of ol were the British st hopes of last wccelerated swing started 1 and rural dis- trict coun ions, in whch the Conser had a gain of 52 seats formerly held by Labor councllors. It reached full spate in the borough elections to fill 3519 seats in England and Wales. When the votes were ele itves its FOR BETTER HEALTH counted, it was found that the Conservatives had gained 354 seats and lost only 20. On the other hand, the Socialists had lost 426 seats and gained only 23, a net loss of 403 in the borough council voting, The Liberals gain- ed 61 and lost 11. Independents had 64 gains and 45 losses. Even more significant was the fact that Labor lost control of eight borough councils, those of ristol, Colchester, B ulo n-on- Trent, Accrington, King's Lynn, Ipswich and Oxford, and the city council of Nottingham. In Notting. ham, Labor losi eight seats to the Conservatives and one to the Liberals, This far exceeded the expectations of the Conservative organization These election results reflect the deep dissension on high policy matters which have split the Labor panty wide open. And what makes the situation worse for the Socialists is the fact that no pos- sible grounds for reconciliation are in sight. sovernment has decided to 1p its restrictions on spend- by the public by cutting down its own expenditures. In the House of Commons debate on the government's finance bill, Chan. cellor of the Exchequer Heath coat Amory, made this clear. He ) The government is not neglects the importance of applying the same rigorous standards to the public sector, especially when we are considering proposals for increases in government expendi- ture," To the public, disappointed at the lack of tax reductions in the 1960 budget, this holds out a ray of hope for better luck next time.

"War to the hilt between com- munism and capitalism is in. evitable," he said. 'Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come in 20 or 30 years. The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep, so we will begin by launching the most spectacular peace move- ment on record. There will be electrifying overtones and un- heard - of concessions. The eap- italist countries, stupid and de- cadent, will rejoice to co-operate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends, As soon as their guard is down, we shall smash them with our clenched fist," That threat has beem up-dated and strengthened by Khrush- chev's boast: "We will bury you." OUR WAR PREPARATIONS How are our own defences, im tiie face of this threat to our lives and national existence? They should be effective, judging by their high cost to the tax- payer, Yet Defence Minister George Pearkes recently found a very unmilitary and undefensive ob- jective upon which to spend your money. A private musical club bere in Ottawa recently invited 11 Mexican guitarists and dancers to perform before it. During their stay in Ottawa, free car service and drivers were provided for their pleasure and convenience by our Army, with the approval of Defence Minister Pearkes. Is it for such misuse that the average Canadian fam- ily is now paying some $400 a year in taxes to support our de- fence forces? If we have more cars and drivers than our spoiled brass hats require, could not our taxes be reduced by eliminating this waste?

HH government i the Commons ittee on def: expendi- strength reposes in these Royal ture would investigate some of Ottawa Gr s who appear to thrive and multiply as com- mon or garden domesticated hus- bands in Ottawa's new shopping centres, With the House of Commons defence committee now examin- ing our defence expenditures, a good question for some Opposi- tion MP to ask our minister of national defence would be: "How many officers and men, exclud ing those of the rank of general or equivalent, have served in Ot- tawa for six years or more out of the past seven years?" And, "In his opinion, does this huge proportion of chairborne service leave such soldiers, sailors and airmen qualified for active ser- vice?" And, "Why have such of- ficers and men not been rotated to other and more active posts outside Ottawa?" There is a number of officers and men of all ranks who have grown old and short i and ab now rampant in our most costly de- partment of government, PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM When a person reaches an ad- vanced age, he can say what he pleases with impunity, mainly for the reason that nobody pays any attention to what he says. There shouldn't be any pedes. trians among those complaining that in Pennsylvania kangaroo meat is being sold for human consumption. The saying, "There's always room at the top", seems to be distressingly true with respect to prices.
