Did Samuel Pepys hold a government position? S.Y. By Bennett Cerf - There was a sudden boom market because of a nationwide demand for parakeets as house pets.

Human psittacosis is usually a respiratory infection that varies from bronchitis to pneumonia. It stems from handling sick birds or inhaling the fumes from contaminated droppings. The disease is no longer a serious threat to life, thanks to the tetracycline group of antibiotics. But it is troublesome, and- - overwhelming infections have led to death before the condition was diagnosed and treated. Varicose Ulcer M.

Nobody in Washington is surprised that the1 British, once again are playing the role of honest broker between Moscow and Washington on Cuba. But even If they dont agTee with us, they should at least understand the depth of feeling here on the issue. After all, the Monroe Doctrine started, not with President Monroe, but with Lord Canning, the British foreign minister who originally proposed that the United States Join in a declaration opposing the extension of European power and influence to the Western- - Hemisphere. And even then, In 1823, and-Brita- in SECRETARY of State John Adams, in that same year of 1823, wrote to the U.S, minister to Spain: These islands (Puerto Rico and Cuba), from their local position, are natural appendages to the North American continent, and one of them, Cuba, almost inside- - of our shores, from a multitude of considerations, has become an object of transcendant importance to the commercial and political interests of our union. IN THE END, both Jefferson and Adams agreed that a declaration against European aggression could not very well begin with an act of American aggression against Cuba, but this issue of Cuba as a base of any hostile foreign system is no sudden spasm. It is almost as old as the republic. It was the subject of the most savage controversy during the War, , In fact, Americas feeling about Cuba is not wholly dissimilar to Britain's feeling about the low countries In the last 2i centuries. So that asking the United exlsten with a C om munis nated Cuba in the year 1962 is a little like asking Britain to accept the Nazi domination of Belgium in 1938. Spanlsh-Amert-ca- ' , IT IS TRUE, of course, that U.S. opinion, fully con- vinced of Its own superior virtue, expects to maintain military bases in Turkey and Iran right up against the Soviet Jsorder while denying the, same privileges to the Russians in Cuba. But thats the way countries are, as , the British should know perhaps better than anybody else. BRITAIN DID not hesi-tat- e to insist on the right of. on military arrangements Germanys eastern borders while threatening war if the Germans tried to establish their military power across the English Channel American policy of insisting on bases for ourselves in Turkey that we are not prepared to toletrate for the Russians in Cuba, we shall merely have to ask for understanding from the British who set us the example in the first place. IN ANY event, regardless of whether Americas feeling about Cuba is "credible on Fleet Street, the fact is that savage feeling does exist THE UNITED States, In the present circumstances, Is not going to invade or bloek-- y ade Cuba, but it is not going to "coexist happily with a Communist military base there either. IT IS GOING to do everything short of war to bring it down, just as the Soviets are presumably going to do what they can to get rid of our bases In Turkey.
