ArmiStice Commission Gets No Complaints on IndOchina Violations

SAIGON, Viet Nam, R-The International Armistice Commis- sion said Saturday it has received no complaints that either the Viet- minh or the French are increasing their armed forces in violation of the Geneva agreements.
 There have been no shipments of arms either to the north or the south since the July 21 nine-pow- CT Geneva Conference ended the Indochina War, the commission said.
 Asked whether it would con- sider United States training of Vietnamese troops a violation of the Geneva accords, the commits sion replied through its Canadian member, Ambassador Sherwood Lett, that this was a question that had not yet been raised.
 Both US. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and British Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden have asserted recently that the Communicated Vietminh in the north are increasing armed forces out of all proportion to that area.
 The Vietminh says Gen. J. Law ton Collins, US. special ambassa- dor, has been sent to South Viet Nam to enlarge the Vietnamese national army in violation of the agreements. Neither side has com plained to the commission.

Tourists Want Fair Deal

The Lake Erie Vacatonand Association is meeting in
Windsor The usual speeches being made and the usual
resolutions being passed They will be filed and forgot
ten until the next convention when they will be dragged
out for another airing.
One of the strange facts about this tourist business is
that those who stand to benefit most do the least to attract
visitors They highly critical of everything that is DONE
they urge be DONE but they hardly lift finger to help
themselves.
Too many people try to gouge the visitors They give
them inadequate accommodation at high prices They
them poor meals They attempt to squeeze the last dime
out of the tourist and don't give him anything like fair
return.
If the Vacatonand delegates devote serious aten
on to urging everyone to give the visitors square deal
the tourist business will flourish. Reprinted from the
