MAIL TRIBUNE Intra-Continental Chat When the heads of state 'of the three North American powers meet tomorrow at White Sulphur Springs, the tone of their conversations is likely to be serious but informal. President Eisenhower issued the invitation to the Prime Minister of Canada and the President of Mexico. "We just want to meet for a chat, talk with these two people," the President said. He noted that the meeting would emphasize to the world "that the North American continent is a continent that is bound together by geography," that we have "com mon aspirations, common policies." And also, that we have "common problems." DECENT dispatches from Canada have disclosed ruffled economic relations between the two na tions. Canada was disturbed recently when the Mary land legislature voted to exclude from that state brewing companies with less than 51 per cent of the stock owned by U. S. citizens. The bill was aimed at the Carling Brewing Com pany, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of, Canadian Brewers' Ltd., which contemplated erecting a $12 million brew ery in Maryland. Gov. Theodore R. McKeldin on March 19 vetoed the bill at the behest of the State Department. The Carling contretemps came as a Canadian corporation with 51 per cent of its stock owned by U.S. corporations was negotiating with the Ottawa government on building part of a trans-Canada nat ural gas pipeline. The government was disposed to undertake the financing, but the Opposition, both right-wing and left-wing, was strongly opposed. AN EXAMPLE of smoothness in . U.S.-Canadian relations, on the other hand, is the Permanent Joint Board of Defense. It was the product of a rail road car chat between President F. D. Roosevelt and former Prime Minister MacKenzie King of Canada. The result was the Ogdensburg Agreement of Aug. 17, 1940, providing the mechanism for a far- reaching program for the The Board continued in existence after World War II, as it was intended to. According to Deputy Under Secretary of State Robert D. Murphy: Today this program has great ramifications on both sides of the border arid has guided the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars by both countries in a joint defense sys tem that is constantly growing in efficiency. The U. S. and Canada have had their differences. But in the United Na tions, as elsewhere, they have tended to get along on general broad policy. E.R.R.

TROTSKY arrived in Russia in May; he was ar A rested by the provisional government in July for his fiery agitation. He was released, however; he is said to have remarked to Lenin, "Fortunately, our enemies were not consistent enough and did not have the courage to execute the two of them.

She Asks Questions To the Editor: In this fluori dation discussion the arguments of the pros fall into three cate gories. The first is the statement that fluorine in our water will re duce caries 35 to 65 per cent. Nothing is said concerning its ef fect upon other body tissues. These questions arise: What is its effect upon other organs? When a known amount is ingested what per cent remains in the body? What are the signs of flu orine poisoning? Are they con cealed as hepatitis, carcinoma, kidney ailments? What "experi ments have been done on test animals to answer these ques tions? What is the maximum amount that can safely be in gested? Does anyone know? How can we know if we are getting this amount? This is important because we are already ingest ing daily, unknown amounts of fluorine in our diet because of its use in sprays, canned goods prepared with water containing fluorine, and animal products ob tained from animals which have ingested fluorine contaminated food and water. Can any pro fluoridation person answer these questions? Their second category is ridi cule. This has two phases. The first is name calling such as bird brains, food faddists, and profes sional agitators. The other is character and professional stand ing defamation. Their third argument is: See how many important organiza tions are for fluoridation! So it is not necessary to think! Only follows the leaders! History is replete with people who have done just that to their destruc tion. Hitler in Germany is a re cent example. Should not the question be settled on its mer its? Proponents have exhibited only one source of merit; oppon ents have exhibited many sourc es of danger not one of which has been disproved by approved laboratory methods. Yesterday I called one of our drugstores to inquire if they would mix a gallon jug of water with 1.7 gm. of fluorine, which was Dr. Exner's recommenda tion. One teaspoonful daily will give the child the protection rec ommended by the Public Health service, namely 1.0 mg. His an swer was "yes." Therefore every mother in the county can within 24 hours after reading this give to her children the protection of fluorine if she so desires. Anna M. Streed 36 North Peach St. Medford, Ore, Praise for Morse To the Editor: The American people, and especially the citi zens of Oregon, have reason to be pleased and proud of the fact that we have in Senator Morse a public servant who is dedi cated to and serves conscientious ly the cause of true democracy While others may maneuver and bargain for expediency, Senator Morse has always symbolized the fight for justice and judicial proceedings under the due pro cess of law. His speeches and debates are not camoflaged with double talk and he has demon strated time and time again that he is an excellent debator who is well versed in the facts. He knows the issues and problems of concern to the American peo ple in both domestic and foreign affairs. After a recent debate on a sub ject of national importance, members of the opposition made the foUowing remarks: "That was a magnificent job. No one can say he did not keep it on a high impersonal plane." "I have seen a man of courage in action today." "I told these people that if he took the leadership in this fight he would put it on a high plane." "That was a powerful speech." These comments are well de served because he is a man of impeccable integrity who does not indulge in nor resort to un disciplined principles. I have watched him on the floor of the senate and followed closely comments by the press and I can arrive only at the con clusion, that he is a man of des tiny working for the benefit of all who love and respect justice, freedom and equal opportunity regardless of race, creed or re ligion. David A. Register, 3308 19th St., NW, Washington 10, D. C. Billboards and Water To the Editor: On Wednesday, March 21, in an editorial en titled Billboards, you said; "Pub lic opinion is the strongest force in keeping the highways free from distracting signs. And we say, at the risk of being classed as a dog-in-the-manger, that it would be a good thing if the public demanded that its yiew of what can still be seen of Ore gon remain unimpaired." I feel the same way about Medford's million dollar water. Claudina M. Smith 1306 South Columbus Ave. Medford, Ore. - She Found the Facts To the Editor: The idea that we could improve our teeth by diet seems like a good one, and many of us are watching our chidlren more closely now to see that they don't constantly bathe theirteeth in acid formed by sticky candy and cokes between meals. But even we adults re fuse to change our diets because pf some medical theory, no mat ter how well accepted, unless we are sick. Is it any wonder that chil dren spend their pennies on suckers instead of stone ground bread? Since there is no way of changing the American diet ov ernight, we will have to find an other way of cutting down tooth decay. Reasoning isn't improved by "scare" campaigns, and since I wanted facts on fluoridation, I obtained a copy of the Portland City club's study of the problem. They studied four reports the layman can understand which sum up data of thousands of sep arate investigations. The reports were: 1. Report of the Committee of the St. liouis Medical society, published in February 1954 is sue of Missouri Medicine. 2. Report of the Ad Hoc Com mittee on Fluoridation of Water Supplies of the National Re search Council, National Acad emy of Sciences. 3. The Fluoridation of Domes tic Water Supplies in North Am erica, as a means of controlling Dental Caries, Report of the United Kingdom Missions. 4. Fluoridation, American As sociation for the Advancement of Science, Washington, 1954. The committee also consider ed testimony of Dr. Exner, a ra diologist widely quoted by oppo sition groups, and non-scientific articles such as ilGo Slow on Fluoridation," but neither saw nor heard nor was able to find any respectable evidence that fluoridation at proposed levels was any risk to health. It is re markable that in the intense ar guments of recent years no such evidence has shown up. After considering all evidence, their committee strongly and unanimously recommended flu oridation, and concluded that though some people oppose it on religious grounds or personal belief that nobody should have to have fluorides in his water unless he wants it, those people should bear the burden of get ting unfluoridated water for drinking instead of making the majority do without a safe and effective health measure in fav or of expensive and hard to con trol substitutes that can't reach the children who need fluorida tion most. Mrs. J. Clark, Central Point. "What is Right" To the Editor: This the people of Oregon should know before they cast their vote, there are two attorneys and one general want to be president, and one attorney wants to be vice-president. Every one of them are for this supreme court decision. If you vote for any of these people, here is what you get, No. 1, a Civil War, or if you are a white serf, and a degenerate of the white race, you get this now read carefully: The Cali fornia supreme court in a 4 to 3 ruling nullified a century-old statute prohibiting interracial marriages. The court directed a county clerk to issue a marriage license to a Negro man and a white American woman, holding that the state law against misce genetic marriages violated the anti - discrimination and civil rights guarantees of the U. S. constitution as upheld by the so called supreme court. There it is; now, just whom have you to vote for? I suggest the Dixie south and conservative Repub licans find an American to vote for that has guts enough not to sell out his birthright for a 20,000,000 Negro vote. I suggest also if this could be done, an amendment be added to the constitution that no at torney could hold a government political position, and only builders of the country that have built this huge industrial empire by the sweat of their brows, men that can know what is right, what is wrong, what is bad, what is good. No man that has avoided toil is a fit man to be in a directive position, as a servant to his fellow man. G., S. Reilly. 338 North Laurel St., Ashland, Ore. Ashland Youth Injured In Bicycle Accident Ashland Herb Keenan, 13, of 138 North Main st., was treat ed and held overnight at Ashland General hospital Thursday night for treatment of injuries re ceived when struck by a car while riding his bicycle. The boy received multiple ear and head lacerations in a col lision involving a car operated by James N. Osborn, 679 Beach st., according to Ashland police. No citations were issued. POTLUCK (By M-T Staff and Contributors) The sports editor pointed out this week that one of the high jumpers On the Phoenix High school track squad is most appropriately named Trott. Soeaking of the snorts editor, he was in Eugene during the recent high school basketbaU tournament. At about 12:30 a.m. one morn ing, when he was hard at work at his portable in his hotel room, writing a story for the paper, there was a tan at the door and it opened slowly. He looked up to see a small, rather bewild-ered-looking high school girl standing there. The girl looked at him, looked at the number on the door, and wheeled and fled. v A youngster we know spent last week at home with a "strep" throat infection. On those nice sunny days, his friends would come around and ask why he couldn't play. Finally, his sister, in some ex asperation, replied to them: "I've told you and told you he has a slit throatl" One of our news staff mem bers had a birthday (we don't know which one and it would be as much as our life is worth if we told if we did know). But she received two beautiful cakes from admirers. One was a large, frosted angel food, the other a nut bread sort of thing. Both were delicious. She had a bit of difficulty getting them home, however, what with other hungry staff members gathering around, nib bling and nibbling. All of which leads to the ' subject of food generally in the news room. We have found that an occasional bite to eat - improves our morale and working ability, and do ing it on the job saves time. There are many and varying tastes in the newsroom, and at one time we have seen pickled pigs feet sitting next to a box of candy, pickles and cake, chocolate eclairs and salami. No place for a blind man. The weather bureau's five-day forecast Friday predicted, among other things, "occasional days of rain." We are indebted to 1 1 a Grant, of the Bend Bulletin, for the following chronology, under the heading: Until you've raised a puppy, you haven't lived. That's what it says here. This is a typical experience: 11 p.m. Put -the puppy to bed, and go to bed yourself. 11:30 p.m. Puppy starts to cry. Get up and fix some warm milk. 12:15 a.m. Puppy wants out. 12:20 a.m. Puppy wants in. He makes a bee-line for the hall rug, and chews a hole in it. 12:30 a.m. Puppy back in bed again." Silence. 1 a.m. Puppy lonesome. He starts to cry. Get up and hold him. 1:30 a.m. Puppy back in bed. Silence. 2 a.m. Puppy starts to cry. Maybe he'd like something to eat. i 3 a.m. Puppy wants out. 3:05 a.m. Puppy wants in. 4 a.m. Puppy crying. Shiv ering. Move him closer to the furnace. - 5 a.m. Puppy barking. Hears an unusual noise. 5:30 a.m. Silence. 6 a.m. Puppy crying. More warm milk. 6:30 a.m. Alarm goes off. Get up and fix breakfast. Feed puppy. . 7:30 a.m. Prepare to leave for work. Take a look at the puppy. He's fast asleep. 8 a.m. (at the office) so are you. The specialized terminoloev of the newsrjarjer world snmp. times leads to odd-sounding statements. Thus one staff men ber was heard saying to another last week, "You've just lost two heads. Do you feel all right? In newspaper parlance a "head is short for headline. Tryoufs for Play fo Sfarf Here Tuesday Tryouts for the play "Good Housekeeping" will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday in the fairgrounds theater, the Footlighters, civic theater group, has announced. The play concerns an imagin ative mother who sets out to make everyone happy with the aid of a big psychology book. Director of the spring pro duction will be Rudi Vest. He has been recommended to the group by Richard Graham, Angus Bowmer and Jerry Mc Dougal, all former Footlighters directors. Everyone interested is eligible to tryout for parts in the play.

" Today and By Walter THE FOREIGN AID TROUBLE This is the time when each year the President has to go to Congress, asking it to vote Am erican money for the use of foreign gov ernments. Congress is always reluc tant to do this. But it has ne ver been so reluctant as it is now. There Walter I lnntnann are not Onlv those who do not want to give away American money. This year, there are also those who, though they have been support ing foreign aid, are auite unhaD- py with the way it is now work ing. The administration will, it seems to me, do better if, in ar guing its case, it takes Congress more clearly and candidlv into its confidence. The central facts in the whole business are that the old policy of foreign aid has to oe thoroughly reannraised and drastically revised that these changes cannot be worked out before June 30 when the time for appropriations expires and that Congress is reaUy be ing asked to keep the flow of funds going while a new policy is Deing worked out. Thoush almost nothing of the sort is said nlainlv in the Presi dent's message, this is what is implied in the request for erea ter "flexibility." Congress is. in fact, being ask ed to give the adminstration time and opportunity to work out the changes in foreign aid wnicn have become necessary be cause of the great changes in the world situation. The administra tion, though it is aware that the policy has to be revised, is not now able to tell Congress what the revisions will be. Yet is not safe to cut off the old program, to stop the flow of funds, and then to start all over again later on when the revised policy has been worked out. I would suppose that to argue the case this way would anneal to the common sense of those who are not ODDOsed to foreign aid in principle but are unhappy aoout much of what is now hap pening. fur post-war foreign aid policy V was originally conceived at the time of the Marshall Plan in I947-'48. Since then there have been verv great changes in the world situation. Then we' still had a monoooly in nuclear wea pons. We now have arrived at a balance of power which has produced a militarv stalemate. Furthmore. when the United States foreign aid policy was first adopted, the Soviet Union had not yet emerged from its economic isolation to become competitor in the economic world. There have been other great developments, such as the economic recovery of Western Europe, the reappearance of Germany and Japan as big powers, tne rise of China as a great power in Asia, and a very large increase in the power of the people of South Asia and North Africa. We have come to the end of the time when the non-Com munist world is willing or is compelled to look solelv to Wash ington for economic aid. We are living in a time when almost ail of the countries which have been receiving aid from us feel that we have a competitor in me soviet Union, and that they are now m a position to bar- gam with both of the two super powers. The military stalemate is hav- ing a profound impact on the whole business of military aid; wnica is of course, the preDond erant part of our existing pro gram. In all the countries which do not themselves have nuclear weapons, there is a deep ten dency to down-grade their in terest in military defense. This is plainly visible in Germany, in France, and in Japan, and there are signs of it even in Great Britain. The fundamental strategic fact of the world situation that there are only two powers with truly modern armaments has produced, as it was bound to produce, various forms of mili tary neutralism in the countries which do not have nuclear arm aments. It seems almost certain therefore, that our emphasis on military aid will have to dim inish. The administration's fore ign aid estimates to Congress do not show this change of empha sis. But there are already signs of the change in the way Mr. Dulles has recently begun to talk about the Manila and Bag dad pacts. Tine emergence of the Soviet - Union as an economic power in the world will require deep changes in our conception of foreign aid. We have thought of that aid as at bottom a contri bution to consolidate our allies, and to prevent inflation and economic collapse which Com munists would then be able to exploit. This conception is still, broad Tomorrow Lippmann ly speokine. valid in the coun tries that are whoUy dependent upon us in South Korea, For mosa and South Vietnam. But m India, the rest of South A in the Middle East anrl North Africa, the situation is radically different. These countries are not dependent upon us because they now have an alternative supplier of capital and technical aid. The emergence of the Soviet Union as "a competitor is one of the great historic develoDmeuts of our times. It is altering radically the position of the Unted States and of its European allies, and it is enhancing enormously the power of the native peoples who were once part of the old Euro pean empires. It is necessary to adaDt our foreign aid policy, and in fact our foreign policy, to a situation which no one took into account when post-war foreign aid was first conceived about eight years ago. This is that the uprising against the West, which has been smoldering, has now gotten the backing of the great power of the Soviet Union. 11e have to adapt our foreign ' " aid to this comDetitive situa tion, which means, among other things, that we shall not be able to attach many military and political strings to our contribu tions. Yet we shall have to go on with foreign aid. For we can not refuse to campete, leaving , to the Soviet Union by default a monopoly in the under-developed countries of South Asia and North Africa. The President savs iri his mes sage that his program of foreign aid "is a demand of the highest. priority on our resources," and as tundamental to our own security and well-being as the maintenance of our own armed forces." This is, of course, true and it is an essential reason for continuing foreign aid. But it is not the sole reason. Beyond the urgency of abvious self-interest, the United States has, I hold, a moral obligation to th- less fortunate people. We cannot justify the enjoyment of oufhigh standard of living with out helping other countries .to proceed along the same road. Without our help, the gap be tween the richer and the poorer countries is bound to widen. A lthough our. obligation is hu manitarian, it is not only that. We have a deeper moral obligation. With less than 10 per cent of the non-Communist world's supply of such t funda mental materials as petroleum, rubber, iron ore, manganese and zinc. In 1950, we were consum ing 10 per cent more materials than we produced; in another 25 years the percentage will be far greater. At the very least, we owe it to the world to return in some form and in some part the re sources which with our greater power and wealth we have been able to command from the under developed regions of the world.
