The Chinese in Burma

In addition to continuing its war on native
Communist guerrillas, the Burmese government
has now announced that it has sent part Of its
army to attack Chinese Nationalist troops in the
northern part of the country near the border
of Yunnan Province in Red China. Although
the attack itself may be limited in scope and
seriousness it serves to dramatic situation
that the Moscow-Peiping propagandists have
long been exploiting as evidence" of American
aggression" in ASIA
What the Communists have been charging
Is that the United States, in connivance with
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek on Formosa, has
been transporting Nationalist soldiers to Thai
land and Northern Burma, and supplying them
with equipment there, in order to carry out
"harassing activities" in preparation for a heavy
attack on Red China This has been denied by
our Government, and the denial has been backed
up with assurances emphatic and convincing
enough to satisfy the Burmese authorities, in
Guiding Prime Minister U Nu
Nevertheless, as pointed out in a Burmese
complaint at the last session Of the United
Nations General Assembly, it is fact that
Chinese Nationalist troops-well over 10000 Of
them, according to estimates-are in Northern
Burma, where they fed couple Of years ago
to escape capture by the Communist forces Of
Mao Tse-tung. The problem ever since then
has been how to deal with them Some have
suggested that Generalissimo Chang should
be pressured into an arrangement under which
they would be transported from the country
to Formosa. Others have proposed that they
be disarmed and interned.
But it is much easier to suggest and pro-
pose than to succeed in carrying out the sug-
gestions and proposals. The Burmese them

FIuoridution

Several summers ago, The Star carried
an article concerning worried dentists
who suggested a drive to lessen the
amount Of candy, cakes. chewing gum,
ice cream and soft drinks consumed by
children. A recent survey of children's
favorites adds rolls and frankfurters and
spaghetti with meatballs as favorites.
How could minute amount of fluorine
possibly make good teeth in competition
with so much sugar and starch?
Apparently many parents are not in

but if the children frequently heard from
dentists and teachers the need for milk,

ones who would make the change.
Billions Of persons have had beautiful
teeth because they obtained calcium and
minerals including fluorine from their
food. not by the questionable method
of adding fluoride to drinking water.
Observer.
One Of the really amazing phenomena
related to group psychology has been the
reaction of number of extremely vocal
individuals against huoridation of the
public water supply. Is it stupidity or
plain cussedness that drives these peo-
pie to write endless imprisoned letters?
They picture themselves as outraged and
unwilling human guinea pigs" and pirate
against "adulteration" Of their pure
water by "a poison"
Yet these zealots would probably be
among the missing If they hadn't been
protected for years by another poison in
their water-chlorine.
The amount of sodium silicofluoride
added to drinking water to aid teeth
resist decay is too infinitesimal to have
the slightest poisonous effect on the hui

that men have been prowling or other
