ELECTIONEERING BEGINS ΤΟ GROW BOISTEROUS

London, Oct. 9.

Electioneering up and down Britain today developed something of its traditional boisterous character.

When Left-wing Aneurin Bevan, the Government's chief arms critic, addressed a meeting at Watford, near London today, "liar" was shouted when he referred to Mr Winston Churchill's speeches.

He demanded to know what was meant by a "stronger hand in Egypt and Persia." and there was a shout of "diplomacy.

The Egyptian Ambassador to the United States, Abdul Rahim Bey, said today that the satis- faction of Egypt's national aspirations to the Stidan and the Suez Canal area was "an essential condition" to Egypt's participation in any Middle Eastern defence alliance.

The Ambassador said that after a Middle East defence arrangement was formed the Egyptian's expected that Egyptian troops would take com- mand of the Suez area "with the help of our Allies, no doubt."

An Encouraging Report

R J. C. Rix, the Senior Veterinary Officer, has compiled an instructive and significant report on the current rabies situath in the Colony and the controls which have been effected to stamp out this disease. Mr Rix reaches a number of conclusions: (1) that so far as the urban area is concerned the Colony is rabies-free; (2) that junk dogs do not seriously contribute to the dangers of an outbreak of rabies; (3) that compulsory inoculation has been successful so far as it has been applied, but that the system needs to be stepped up and tightened up; (4) that compulsory muzzling and leashing is the least important of the anti-rabies measures. Mr Rix also makes recom- mendations concerning future policy. He advocates stricter imposition of the regulations requiring compulsory inoculation of dogs, and suggests this can be helped by providing cheaper inoculations in the urban areas. It ja admitted that the original theory of "the higher the fees, the fewer the dogs" has not proved itself, and that on the contrary the present inoculating fees have stimulated evasion. The Senior Veterinary Officer also wants to intro- duce the system of ear-marking dogs to prevent substitution-a trick, which he claims, has become prevalent. Mr Rix and his assistants merit the thanks of the community for having so suc- cessfully adopted preventive measures that rabies, at the present time," aro virtually non-existent in the Colony, How effective has been the campaign is illustrated by official figures which show that, whereas in 1949 there were a total of 60 cases (20 human and 40. animal) the incidence last year was reduced to 11 and 10 respectively, and that this year, up to the end of Inst month, only one case of rabies had been reported. This is a state of affairs as gratifying to the general public us it IS TO GOT UMUTų. It I obvious, however," that there can be no reinxing of

proposed

the measures already employed if the Colony is to continue to be safeguarded against the menace of rabies. Most will agree with the Senior Veterinary Officer that they should be tightened up in application. Evasion of inocula- tion and registration serve only one purpose-they increase the possibility of an outbreak of rabies. Mr Rix haa an inoculation target of 80 per cent of the Colony's dogs. We suggest this must be regarded as the minimum, taking into consideration the difficulties of employing measures of control along the Colony's exposed borders. We doubt whether dog-lovers will welcome the suggestion that dogs should be ear-marked for permanent identifica- tion. Many will find it difficult to believe that it is necessary. But as the Veterinary Officer points out, under the existing system it is the animal and not the owner that is licensed and no means exist of positively identifying a dog. Presumably the real value of ear-marking would be to guarantee that a dog has been inoculated any dog not carrying such a marking would automatically be identified as a non-inoculated animal. If the public can be satisfied that ear-marking will make a genuine contribution to the permanent eliminá tion of rables epidemics in the Colony. the "Authorities may reasonably look" for support and co-operation. The Rix report finishes on a high and optimistic note. The happy proposition in nd- vanced that if the policy advocated is made fully effective, and given an absence of a rabies case for six continuous months, it would be safe for the Authorities to declare the Colony rables-free, to withdraw the existing system of impounding “bitar"" dogs and to discontine us & routine procedure anti-rabies treatarent for those bitten.
