The article presents a paper delivered by the author, a German physicist and philosopher, at the Second Pugwash Conference in Lac Beauport, Quebec. It focuses on the probability of total global war breaking out during the next ten or twenty years in Germany. According to him, the probability of total global war is far too high, deliberating the catastrophe it would mean to the world. However, if the probability of such a war is small just due to the fact of the common knowledge that it would be more or less suicidal, then the threat of such a war cannot be easily employed to discourage any government or nation from acts of limited violence.

DISCUSSION ,ECONOMICS ,INDUSTRIAL capacity ,INDUSTRIALIZATION ,LOCATION analysis ,INPUT-output analysis ,MANUFACTURING industries ,FUEL ,ELECTRICITY ,CANADIAN provinces - Abstract
The article presents discussions by economists on various papers that are published in the May 1, 1953 issue of the journal "American Economic Review." The author states that economist John H. Dales paper is an application of location theory to the problem of the industrial potential of a region. It highlights certain requirements, which must be fulfilled before a region can become industrialized and which might be neglected without a location approach. The author states that Dales has constructed a macroscopic theory in which industrial structures or regions are units and not individual plants. He has, however, refrained from attempting to define the region. Much of the discussion relates to this weakness in the argument deriving from the lack of a precise unit. The author first accepts Dales premise that Central Canada can be distinguished as an economic region and comments on certain conclusions made by Dales. The author makes it clear that the low fuel-electricity consumption ratio in Quebec is attributable to the absence of heavy fuel-using industries and to the presence of industries, which consume large quantities of power. High inputs of either power or fuel are characteristic of plants in early stages of manufacturing and not in consumer goods plants. Thus, the low fuel-electricity ratio is not the result of the attractive force which cheap power has for light manufacturing plants in relation to that of cheap fuel.

SOCIAL classes ,COMMUNITIES ,SOCIAL status ,SOCIAL systems - Abstract
This paper deals with a formerly quiet French-Canadian country town, now transformed into one of the leading Canadian centres of textile manufacture. Specifically, it describes the present competitive position of various classes in the town and relate the relevant facts to traditional life-objectives and expectations. Since but one case is presented, the treatment cannot be considered comparative in the full sense. A similar analysis could be made profitably in any community undergoing this type of change. The paper makes explicit use of the concept of position and implicit reference to the concept of status. Position is an individual's place in a competitive system. Status is an attribute of a person in society. Subjectively, it consists of his own definition of his place within a system of recognized duties and privileges; objectively, it is the recognition that the person occupies in fact, such a place. In a well integrated system of life, status and position tend to correspond. Each type of position in the existing competitive system would, in the logically ideal case, be defined as a status.

According to him, there are a number of obvious advantages to be gained by a wide exchange of scientists and students. Misunderstandings can be discarded and by personal contacts, genuine points of difference more clearly distinguished. International exchanges have the edge of bringing together representation of different national traditions. International science is greatly improved by this variety, and international exchanges benefit greatly by the diversity of view of those participating.

A series of related experiments investigated the relationship between naturally established teacher expectation and IQ change. Subjects were 109 grade 1 and 2 pupils from an average socioeconomic area of Montreal. Results show no linear relationship between teacher expectation and IQ gain scores either with or without the partialing out of initial IQ scores. A significant relationship was found between negative discrepant teacher expectation and IQ change in children with superior intellectual potential. The use of IQ testing in the primary grades is discussed, and suggestions are made concerning both teacher training and in-service training programs in the light of these findings.

This article reports that the Department of Psychiatry of McGill University, Montreal, Quebec has in the past six years initiated a mental health activity called the "Well-Being Clinic." This was an experiment in providing a public health service related to mental rather than physical health. The clinic was originated in 1954. At that time a "well-being" assessment was offered to all those registered for the health and charm course given by the Montreal Young Women Christian Association. This course consists of a series of ten lectures concerned with physical and emotional health, and with social skills in everyday living. The latter include such topics as good grooming, how to entertain, and art and music appreciation. The well-being interviews are given during the course, the appointments being made at the end of the first few lectures. Later, the clinic was included in a similar course offered by McGill University Extension Department. This course, entitled "Understanding Ourselves," consists of a series of lectures on mental health given by staff of the McGill Department of Psychiatry, and is followed in the second term by discussion groups led by psychiatrists and social workers.

URBANIZATION ,CITIES & towns ,ECONOMICS - Abstract
In urban research to date, the distinguishing characteristics of growing as opposed to stable or declining urban communities have not been identified clearly. In this study, a statistical discrimination is made between those cities in Ontario and Quebec which experienced absolute upward shifts in population over the decade 1951- 61, and those which experienced either absolute or relative downward shifts. The discrimination is based on a number of selected social, demographic, economic, and locational variables. In addition, by focussing upon the provinces of Ontario and Quebec which are known to have contrasting cultures and economies, the study seeks to determine whether these regional differences are reflected in the relative growth characteristics of the cities. Shifts upward and downward for groups of cities were distinguished, but the regional contrasts overshadowed the generalized patterns of growth or decline to the end that it is clear that general studies of urban growth and decline will need to employ models incorporating built-in accommodations for regional sub-systems of cities.

HUMAN fertility statistics ,REGIONAL differences ,CENSUS ,MATHEMATICAL variables ,FAMILY size ,DEMOGRAPHIC surveys - Abstract
Most of the numerous studies of differential fertility are based either on census or vital registration records, which are substantially complete or on large portions of a population, which are considered as samples. Before the nature of sampling error was understood it seemed dangerous to base conclusions on a small number of cases, but this need no longer be so. Small samples may make possible investigations, which avoid the limitations of census tables in which only a few variables can be cross-tabulated. In any serious attempt to study the effect of a particular variable, freed from the effects of other relevant variables, at least ten directions of simultaneous cross-classification are required rather than the three or four which is the maximum usually given in a census. An earlier sample investigation of French Catholic families in the Province of Quebec aimed to ascertain whether families living near cities had fewer children than those living farther away. The objects of this article are to find (a) whether the relationship between distance from cities and family size which was revealed for French Catholic families of Quebec holds for English Protestant families of Ontario, (b) whether the direct relationship between education and family size found for Quebec holds also for Ontario and (c) to ascertain the differences in family size between Quebec and Ontario for groups similar in age at marriage, etc.
