The U.S., too, is anxious to put an end to the fighting and the United Nations' leaders are trying to bring about a cease-fire.

In other words, the two great nuclear powers and the international peace-keeping agency have a common in bringing about iwaccful negotiations between the combatants. They recognize that wars that are allowed to continue in this dangerous atomic age constitute a threat to humanity all over the globe. While it is true that Red China may take sides and strive to foment more trouble to enhance her claim to leadership of world communism, China is not yet a nuclear power in the military sense. The U.S., Russia and the United Nations are the biggest world policemen. If this trio of military strength and political influence find their combined efforts to enforce peace between India and Pakistan are futile the prospects of future peacekeeping efforts seem dismal.

Toronto Globe and Mall Another opening, another show choice vs. costly medicare Good unties offered The war between India and Pakistan over Kashmir is a classic test of the world's efforts to establish jteacemaking machinery. In most of the so-called small wars since the Second World War the hostilities have been prolonged by a conflict of Interest between the great powers, particularly the United States and the U.S.S.R. In the India-Pakistan conflict Russia is embarrassed to find a war near her borders and is vigorously pleading for a peaceful set All Canadians, no matter what their feelings toward the idea of national medicare, would be wise to digest the advice of Premier E. C.

Manning of Alberta. He does not oppose the principle of medical care for all, nor does he claim that an overall plan is unnecessary. Manning says only that Ottawa's approach to the problem is dangerously and expensively wrong. The federal scheme of compulsory government insurance for everyone would cost, he estimates, some $300 million a year at the start. Eventually the cost will reach $1 billion.

A voluntary program of government-subsidized insurancesuch as the plans now in operation in Alberta and B.C. would cost only about $150 million a year. He warns also that Ottawa's medicare vision would "set Canada on the road to a complete welfare Free for 265 job vacancies begins All-out rush Job opportunity: Sfi'5 vacancies at attractive $18,000 salary ($6,000 tax free) plus fringe benefits. Experience an asset but not essential. OTTAWA Applications for these jobs so far include a comely television personality from New Brunswick, a Toronto professional wrestler, the chief of police in Winnipeg, Canada's prime minister, and a distinguished criminal lawyer from Prince Albert.

The next three weeks will bring the big rush of nominations for seats in Canada's next Parliament By Oct. 12, the number is expected to grow to more than 800 and the final selection of the successful candidates will be made by 11 million voters on Nov. 8. Prime Minister Pearson's election announcement was greeted without excitement in Ottawa, possibly because most of the MPs were already out in their ridings. But it set off an explosion of activity in party headquarters.

Extra staff was moving in, extra telephones were being Installed and literature starting to pour out of the old grpy-painted brick house in down- town Ottawa which will be the nerve centre of the Liberal effort With the election date no longer a secret, the Liberal workers have thrown into high gear the preparations previously being made quietly. A top-level policy and strategy meeting will be held within a week. A speakers' handbook, in preparation for nine months, will be published soon. The switchboard at Liberal headquarters is already jammed with calls. Most of the traffic Is generated by local constituency organizations announcing their nomination plans and bidding for top-ranking speakers such as Prime Minister Pearson, Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp, Labor Minister MacEachen and Defence Minister Paul Hellyer.

Mr. Pearson himself goes next week to his own constitutency of Algoma Signs of honesty and responsibility If the forthcoming general election does nothing else it may perform one valuable public service by reawakening in a number of Liberal newspapers a sense of honesty and responsibility that has so long lain dormant. 1 These journals, many of them powerful and influential, undertook to destroy Conservative Leader John Diefenbaker with a sustained campaign of villification, distortion, innuendo and downright untruth that is without parallel. And with it they destroyed any semblance of their journalistic integrity or objectivity. Political partisanship in a newspaper is traditional and understandable.

But this was not partisanship; it was cruel assassination. No move of the 'Diefenbaker government, no idiosyncrasy of Mr. Diefenbaker's was too small to escape the attention of these journalistic daggers. These newspapers so often presented Mr. Diefenbaker with horns and a tail that they helped to pull state from which there will be no turning back" and the compulsory aspect of the plan "is a flagrant violation of each citizen's inalienable right to freedom of choice in a free society." These are not statements by some callow politician trying to make a name for himself.

Mr. Manning enjoys political success bordering on the phenomenal he has been Alberta's premier for 21 years. They are not arguments intended to discredit the government party in the current federal election campaign. Mr. Manning's medicare views were formulated long before the voting decision and he has no political axe to grind.

He is not involved in the federal election. Mr. Manning's views are supported by the medical profession, backed by leading actuaries and based on common sense. down a government which took office with the biggest mandate ever given a political party. And not content with destroying a strong government and replacing it with a divided and indecisive Parliament, they then attempted to discredit Mr.

Diefenbaker with his followers and force his resignation as party leader. With such an irresponsible and destructive record in mind it is encouraging to see most of the thoughtful Liberal newspapers joining ranks in condemning Prime Minister Pearson's decision to hold a general election' on Nov. 8. "An unnecessary election'' this is the editorial view echoed in newspapers across the country and the Liberal journals, to their great credit, are as vehement in this opinion as any. The Montreal Star, a major supporter of Mr.

Pearson and all his works, was both sad and bitter that he had elected to "defy the By RUSSELL BAKER New York Times Warfare, several commissars reported simultaneously that Fischer, the American chess champion, had been denied American passport permission to attend the tournament. Here, it seemed, was a quiet, concealed move by the United States to strike a sneak blow against Communist culture. This suspicion may have been heightened by the negligible coverage given to the United States' Fischer gambit inhe American press. The State Department's motives are obscure. The Fischer affair may have been merely a case of bureaucratic bumbling, or it may have been a small probe by the C.I.A.

designed to test Communist cultural defenses. Whatever the case, no orte anticipated a violent Communist response. Compared to "Hello Dolly," Fischer is scarcely more than a popgun in the American cultural arsenal. At most, the Soviets were expected to hit back by throwing a couple of touring American engineers out of Dnepropetrovsk. In banning "Hello Dolly" Moscow abruptly confronted Washington with a cultural challenge of the deepest gravity.

The men here who favor lobbing one into the men's room of the Kremlin are already "Do we care?" he asks the nation. "Do we value our individual liberty enough to raise our voices in protest, or are we willing to sell our right to freedom of choice for S28 a head?" ($28 per capita is the estimated cost of Ottawa's plan.) It is a fair question, and an important one. And even those too infatuated with the something-for-nothing fallacy to worry about freedom of choice should have second thoughts about a scheme that carries a billion-dollar price tag. Mr. Manning believes a voluntary state-subsidized medical insurance program "can achieve every legitimate objective of a compulsory plan at a fraction of the cost to the public treasury and without, any of its objectionable features." It would be criminal to press on with Ottawa's compulsory medicare plan when such an alternative exists.

very general feeling across the country that no election is necessary." This refreshing independence and frankness from Mr. Pearson's journalistic supporters is a luxury they may feel they can afford at the beginning of the campaign. As voting day draws closer they may be obliged to give way to the snide distortions, half-truths and misrepresentations of the old anti-Diefenbaker blueprint. But momentarily the Liberal newspapers have taken off their party blinkers, faced the truth, spoken their minds and given Canadian electors something more nourishing than Liberal pablum to chew on. If, in the weeks ahead, they are able to achieve at least some measure of this objectivity they will make a greater contribution to the democratic process and should regain some of their self-respect.

The Conservative National Head- i quarters, in brightly modern offices above an Ottawa fur salon, was filled with the bustle of activity and the sound of telephones and typewriters. Thirty-seven Tories have been nomi- nated so far but the party's national director, Richard Thrasher, says 95 per cent of the Conservative full slate of 2G5 will be named within three weeks, among them John Diefenbaker in Prince Albert The Tories will expand into two empty floors of the fur company building as the pace of the campaign quickens.

Mr. Thrasher himself will leave his command post next week to contest the Essex South Riding. A successor will be named, probably in connection with a Saturday meeting of the 40-member Conservative National Campaign Committee. The Tories plan to open an office in Quebec City to supplement offices already operating in Toronto and Ottawa. Top-demand speakers among Tories are Gene Rheaume, member for the North-West Territories, and Erik Nielsen, who broke open the Rivard case in the Commons.

Both the big parties are keeping a tight lid on the travel plans of their leaders. The itineraries are released a week at a time to prevent the other party from sending their man around to undo all the work done by the party chief.

RICHARDSON North Vancouver Marxian popularity The four letters in defence of Karl Marx (Sept. 4) are a revelation as to his continuing popularity In this area. It is equally interesting that while fiercely defending their hero and berating the writer for daring to criticize another "sacred cow" of the far left, not one letter writer tried to refute any of the 13 basic errors of Marx as outlined by Patricia Young a fact which gives added weight to her argument.

At a lecture on mental health here, a psychiatrist said that the number of psychotics is relatively constant, in proportion to the population, be it Central Africa or North America, or anywhere, now or 100 years ago. Pop music does not have any significance, obviously. In some cultures, a hysterical attark is respected as God's message, "the Spirit moving within." Some years ago there was a religious group nicknamed the "Holy Rollers" because they occasionally rolled in the aisles when overcome by religious frenzy. During the Middle Ages, whole populations succumbed to a frantic "Dance of Death" whence they danced until they died.

It has been suggested that a combination of hysteria and fear of bubonic plague was the cause. Perhaps there are some who remem TODAY'S BEST FKOM EUKOFE "Hm, as a matter of fact, madam. I think that we do have a shoe which would fit you WASHINGTON Moscow's abrupt decision to keep "Hello Dolly" off the boards in Russia is bad news. The official interpretation that the show was banned in retaliation against United States war policy in Viet Nam is not taken seriously by people who understand relations between modem superstates. These people find it laughable to suggest that Moscow thinks it can give American bombers tit-for-tat by cutting off David Merrick's rubles.

(Merrick is the show's producer.) The "Hello Dolly" crisis, they agree, is retaliation all right, but not against anything that is happening in Asia. In the words of one war-room thinker, "What we are faced with is the danger of total cultural warfare." In striking against Broadway's most successful musical, Moscow Is over-reacting in an escalation out of all proportion to the original American thrust The crisis was begun quietly enough last month when Soviet photographic planes flying over Cuba recorded the absence of Bobby Fischer from the Capablanca Chess Tournament.
