THE REALISSUE
SÍXTEEN ^eBvs have passed alnce the eud of the Second World War. For tbe postwar generation it is only more boring matéria! in a historF book. Yet for the manjr wbo lived through thöse times, the inhuman experiences of tor-ture are unforgetable. Dreadful remínders of war exists eyen today. People have not forgottén and cannot forget.
With the ímminent danger of a thermo-nuclear war hovering over our heads be-cause of the Berlin crisis,it is time for us to do somé sérious thinking and come up with somé positive stand on this whole quéstion. In these hysterical times when
we hear and read about the dangers of nuclear faUout: and whén prominent goyenunent fig-iires are urgiiig us to tiuild shel-tera in our bacicyards, is the reál danger fallout? Why xnüst we • Jbé ecáréd into worzying ábout Ipsing a. bair ''n our heads wtaenthé issue is múch more serious? li is a mat* tér ot life mid deatihu
Where do yoimg: people stand? Whát should we belieye ? No shel-ters can save anyohe as has been
so often 6aid l>y people with com* mon sense. Tbe survival of man-Itínd does not depend on futíle shelter programé tmt oii solid workable int&rhational agree-, ments to dísarm. Ixi our opinion that is the whole issue today. This is whete positive áctíon by all people of good wm wiU do the most good. Controlled disarmament is the answer to the present hyste-ria. la this direction we too can éxert our iníluehce by supporting pleas reiterating oppösitlon to ac-quiríng nucleár weapons for Can-B.úé. - ' ■
After his Moscow visit, Dr. Áb-faham L. Féinberg, Chairman df ttie Toronto Ckínantüttee' for Disarmament, decleured: í ^ more tiiaii éy&t convlncédf that the Soviet Union wants dis-' armament and peacé jtist as the

And towards that go^ Canadíans must work with men mid women of like ^inds ?i the Soviet phion and else-where. For the sake pf f uture ge-nerations we. are determlned to live together, not die together."
We feel that the present hatred shown against a country, which was forced to resume nuclear testing not by its own will büt by actions of Western coüntries to re-arm Germany and" by threats of war will not achieve peace but on the contrary WiU divert Canadians from actions for peace, such as de-mands for negotiations for disarmament. It is clear that the prob-lem of disarmament is the main problem wliich concems mankind töday. When this.is solved^ the manuf acture and testing of nuclear weapons will be superfluous.

OTTAWA — Canada will be rele-gated forever to a /'scientifíc Um-bo" unless something is done in the next decade about oúr Inadequato research facilities, C^adian uni-versity officials wére wamed yes-terday,
J. W. T. Spinks of the Unlver-sity of Saskatchewan graduate Btudies brancb, said át least $50 millión will be needed over the next five years alone just to toké care of additional students enter-Ing the graduate research field. Millions more will be needed if Canada is to maintain its position as an advanced industrial nation.
In the past, Professor Spinks told the National Conference of ^ Canadian Universities and Colleges^ Canada haa imported much of her technical knowiedge from the Un ited States and Britain, but this "is not^a^situation we^can accept as permanent."-
To maintain our advanced industrial position, he addéd, Canada must allocate to scientific research and devélopment a propor-tion of our resources comparable' to that allocated by other advanced nations.
««eal Crisis"
Both govemment and industry, he added, must be- persuaded to devote more of their resources to research unless we intend to romáin in an inferior position tothe U.S. and the UJC.
This situation, he aaid, presents a "real crisis" for Canadian uni-versiües, already faced with prob-lems of space, finances and stoff because of the exploding student
population.
lto times pást, he continuéd, the State merely expécted üiúversities to tum out a stea^ sfxeam of "well educated" men. Now, how-ever, research has become a mat-ter of. national prestige and the State expects imiversities to do ex-tensiye research and provide! research fácilities.
To meet this problem hi Canada, he suggested, some sort of com-prpmise betweeh lafssez-faire and aü-out State planxüng is needed.
Ctovernment Aid Needed
Much of the nolllions for expand-ed research fácilities will have to come from govemment but its al-location must he arrax^ed without impinging too much bn the univer-síty's right tp choose and control its research projects.
Specifícally, he said, univeisity' ádniinistratofs áiould;^
— Ask the federat govermnent to providé aupplementary fünds to
aid in the construction of buildings for the Sciences and the Professional fields not now sérved by the Canada Council.
— Request Ottawa provide an additional grant of $1,500 per year for each fulltime graduate stud ent.' ...
^ Set up a Canadian Universi-tiés CoúncU to consult with and advise the govemment on its poli-cies with respect to universities.

Vera Huszti is a remarkable ^-ample of the new generation of Hungárián women^ She is beautf-f ul, a talented engineer, a brilliant linguist. and á devoted mother.

But now she waited in vain for tha tlnncr eound. She rematoca calm, and somehow even atrong. Zt did siot occur to her that ehe had gradually severed tbe remaining weak threads of her former capriclous and loosé dependence oh her husband and waa now able to stand oa her own feet even if her husband did nPt come home for two years 03 cnd. Nothing occurred to her,~she merely sehsed that the usual emotfon falled to com© over her, and when she stralghtened up flushed from blowing the fire, fihe stood there like a statue.
Tóth was by now rummaging in ttie wardrobe, looking for his razor — but all at once he stiffened like a dóg picking up a scent E\)r some time and without cpmprehension he kept gazing at the neat rows of cups and glásses as if he Were seeing them for the first tiine. Then he plunged his handinto the cupboard and.took out a deep cbína bowl that he did not remembír at all. He tumed it about looked at it and put it back. But he did not speak. He fished out other dishes from the cupbpard and thén replaced thena. Sudd^y he síammed the door of the cupböard and then, turhihg ároiind, begán to look about him ín the kitchen. Hé noticed everythirig. The new cover on the taWe, JJ^s a new cardigan on the hanger, a sack fuU Of huts in thé comer, a new alarm-clock on the window sill; the signs of a new litüe germ of prosperity within the old bounds of- thé accustomed and unchanging poverty.
An angry twiteh jerkéd his face,
"You!" he said to his wife and slammed the razor-strap he heldí in his hand on the teble.
Only now did he toké a closer look at his wife. She was not aa sha had been. She was not so wom and' w timed. She hal
fiiled out, she looked calmer and perháps even prettier; she had blos-söméd out. Her torehead was smpoth, her usniaUy disheveüed ha^ that uséd to löok like a tousléd stáck of hay wiÉts now la her eyes there was no trace öf the fórnier ;1<^ meekness^ lier glancé was indiffereht, a Mttle Tazy and á^
Tóth bit Ms lips. He swore, to himself. Sbmébody^ entered this woman's life../At the btüldingsites where he worked he had Imown lonely women whósé natiural reserve had: béén worndown by lonliness and who gladly threw themsélves into, or rather fled to, a man's anas for a kind word, for á caress. You ffid not éveia have to call them, only to listen skilfully and cleverly tö let them compíáin öf their lonliness. JBut his wife, who had been left yery much to hersélf at home and who had loved him very much, showed nö desíre to throw herself into his^arms.''
He stepped ciose up to her. "Speak!" he said cracking-his fingerö in rage. '•What about?" she asked.
/•You Whore, you!" "he yeUed.*T)"you think Tm bUnd? But I'U get it out of you!"
Esther tamed pale. No..her husband did not laiow what he was saying. Perhaps he was drunk. Or perhaps sometiiing was the matter with Wm. Or did he want to leave her forever and had he come home only to begin an ugly and ünbcarablé quarrel? She did not know what to say. She stood by the fireplace, álmost as if she had a stroke. Her husband grabbed the razor-strap from the table, swüng it and yelled so that his thin face waö one big twiteh from the roots of ms hair to his pointed chin: V i
