people have stood the test very well, The readjustments have yielded remarkable results. The condition of the national econ- omy as a whole since 1960 has improved from year to year. The premier said that imperial- ism ‘‘will not be able to check the mounting struggle of the people of the world of peace,

national liberation, democracy and socialism.” Both Chou En-lai and Chen

Yi emphasized the grow ing might and unity of the socialist camp as a decisive factor in the struggle for peace. Chen Yi said that ‘‘the socialist camp and the peoples liberation movement are propelling the advance of history and changing the face of the world. They constitute the deci- sive factors in defending world

peace.”

Clubs, readers engaged In heated race

Press clubs and individual readers are engaged in a heated race to determine who will carry off the Sub-Drive awards which have been set aside by the Press Committee.

Leading provincial club is South Surrey, with 10 subs in on a quota of 15.

Negro James Meredith charg- ed last Tuesday that the troops which have been keeping the peace since he was admitted to the University of Mississippi were segregated by army orders.

In an interview, which he had requested, Meredith stated flat- ly that the army had _ inflicted a dishonor and a disgrace on Negro soldiers. by segregating them after the rioting which marked his entry into Ole Miss.

He reportedly stated that he had complained to authorities about the withdrawal of Negro troop; from _ the hotbed of strife and had been assured that the situation would be corrected. Following this as- surance, Negro troops appeared on a garbage detail truck; the only armed soldiers continued to be all white.

It was not reported whether the idea of segregating the troops was given by army brass or President Kennedy, but one thing appeared certain — it made a mockery out of the much-bally- hooed federal move of ‘‘support’ for Meredith and the cause of

nedy and

In his latest tirade, Goldwater attacked the Kenne ly administra- ticn, the st‘ > d-partment, Adlai

Stevenson, and ctaers. He blasted former president Eisenhower for the latter’s valedictory address to the nation in which-he wafned about the danger presented by the growth of the military-industrial complex.

Gcldwater did not deny the ex- istence of the complex; he sought to silence the critics by question- ing their loyalty in true Mc- Carthyite fashion.

At the same time as he was hurling these charges, Gcldwater defended former General Edwin Walker, one of the instigators of the rioting at Oxford. Walker has since been committed for psychiatric examination.

The entire role of the army dur- ing the rioting is reportedly com- ing in for a critical examination by Washington. Some observers pointed out that the first troops to arfive in Oxfcrd, Miss. from Memphis, Tennessee could have walked in the amount of time it took them to get there.

400 subs in on 1900! DRIVE IS HALF OVER ...

We have one month left in our Fall Circulation Drive. In that month we must raise 1500 subs. It seems like a staggering load, but it can be done — provided every reader and supporter puts his shoulder to the wheel.

We are a little ahead of cur drive tempo of last year, when we ended the campaign with 1750 subs, so that this year's target is fully realizable. The important thing is not to let any more time slip by; every club should have an evaluation of where it stands at this junction, and every reader should re-dedicate himself to the task of winning new readers for our press.

A successful drive at this time will consolidate our position and help to lay a firm foundation for future expansion.

Every moment from now 04 is important.
