In addition to the headline which
was deplored by Mr Rab, I wou like to meation two others which appeared on the top of the "China Mall's" froml page on May 1 and May
5:
"Britain's Big Deals with Russia"
and "Chinese Shrimps Banned from U.S.
Roads."
On the other hand, it would be Interesting to know how much Britain will have benellled in the end from these big deals. when past records show that anal consummation representa only a fraction of these charity shows put up by Soviet Ruzola. Considering moreover, that such deals are contrived for pro- pagunda purposes. the coverage so generously given by the press under hashing headlines makes Soviet Russia the runaway win-
ner.
On the other hand, if one should find in a relative or close friend a streak which should strike one as being odd and evoke a desire to play, wanton, there could be no sober minded person to disagree with me when I submit that, in such CUSCT, elementary courtesy dictates that one should find in one's upbringing enough restraint to resist such Impulse.
There are other reasons of vila importance which Indieute that more restraint and a better appreciation of the
