+ Welcome visitors to the Province
today are the Hon. H. J. Robichaud,
Federal Minister of Fisheries, and
âMr. J. B. Hstey, president of the
Fisheries Council of Canad: who
are scheduled to speak before the
Prince Edward Island Fisheries
Federation at its annual meeting
this evening. Other prominent offic-
jals will be present at the meeting,
at which plans will be discussed for
the national convention of the Fish-
eries Council to be held here for the
first time next April.
Meanwhile, the industry is fac-
ing serious problems at the local
Jevel, and we note that a brief is
now being prepared on this subject.
by the provincial authorities for
presentation at Ottawa later this
month. This will come before Mr.
Robichaud in a formal way, and we
have every reason to expect that it
will be given due consideration.
Our problems, certainly, will not
be new to him. We may assume that
he has studied the comprehensive
report of the Prince Edward Island
Fisheries Development Committee
which was prepared a few years ago
under the chairmanship of the Hon.
Thane A. Campbell, Chief Justice
of the Province. This report was
pased on a number of surveys and
reports of various aspects of the
industry, and emphasized the need
r remedial measures in terms
yhich, to a considerable extent, re-
ain applicable today.
Mr. Robichaud is himself a
laritimer, and was a fisheries in-
tector and later Director of Fish-
ries for New Brunswick before
mtering politics. This early experi-
mee has served him in good stead
grappling with the responsibili-
ies of his office. We feel that he
concerned about our
fishermen and will do all in his
ower to aid them in solving their
nt difficulties. It is a privilege

the

to have him v
Estey at this time, when Parliament
is in session and there are many
chores to be attended to at Ottawa.
The Wheat Sales Row
The House of Commons received
with applause last week the an-
nouncement by Trade Minister
Sharp that there will be no change
in Canadaâs wheat policy, despite
United States threats of retaliation
if this policy is continued.
What is all this row about, and
why has it stirred up so much
anger at Washington? Ostensibly
the reason is that we are selling
wheat at an agreed-upon priceâa
policy that goes back for many
years. The buyer undertakes to buy
80 much wheat over a period of
time; the seller guarantees to sell
the wheat at the price agreed upon.
If, while the agreement is in force,
the price goes up, the buyer is pro-
tected against the rise. If the price
goes down, the seller is protected
against the drop. Apparently our re-
cent agreement to sell 39 million
bushels to Japan at a set price put
the skids under U.S. plans to sell
to Japan at a price higher than the
Canadian price.
This is how it is interpreted by
the Winnipeg Free Press, which
speaks with authority on the sub-
ject. At the moment, because of
harvests elsewhere in the world,
Âą United States and Canada have,
pfactically,.a monopoly on wheat.
The United States would like to have
Canada âco-operateâ in setting a
âwheat price as high as the traftic
|
will bear. Ine U.S. an in-
crease of 15 cents a bushel, on the
assumption that under the laws of
supply and demand the world price
would go up by this amount.
Canada, however, refused to go
along. The Canadian price has in-
ed by eight cents a bushel in
âand could go up more.
But the wheat board wisely is look-
ing past the present temporary
shortage. It believes that our tradi-
tional customers should not be
charged sky-high prices merely be-
cause there is, temporarily, a sell-
erâs market in wheat. It believes
that future sales of Canadian wheat
should be protected, even at the ex-
pense of a quick profit today.'There
is also the danger that if the price
of wheat were permitted to sky-
rocket, farmers might be induced
to grow more wheatâwheat which
tomorrow we might have difficulty
selling.
It is not desirable to get at cross
purposes with Washington on this
or any other subject, but there is
a limit to which Canadian acquies-
cence in American demands can go.
The limit seems to have been reach-
ed in this case. The government at
Ottawa, having made this decision,
will be expected to stand firm on it.
A Point Well Taken
In the acrimonious debate on the
status of the New Democratic Party
and the divided Social Credit Party
in the House of Commons last week,
one speaker was singled out by the
Otawa Journal as contributing a
useful and sensible point. He was
Mr. Heath Macquarrie, junior MP
for Queens, who maintained that
the Social Credit problem should
not have been brought before the
committee at all, but left to the
divided members to settle as best
they could.
Mr. Macquarrie recalled to the
committee that there is provision
for facilitating the work of Parlia-
ment and ensuring that the House
is not occupied with petty matters.
The assumption is that parties will
make their own decisions and then
use âthe usual channelsâ which are
in fact the private meeting between
representatives of the various part-
ies to allocate seats and rooms, de-
cide on spokesmen to be recognized
and arrange the business of the
House on amicable lines.
Without these âusual channelsâ
Parliament would be bogged down
with trivia. Intra-party feuds are
not the business of Parliament but
the âusual channelsâ of amicable
discussion behind the scenes are
neglected by those in search of
privilegeâand $4,000 extra a year.
Our junior member for Queens
had indeed a good point here, which
the Government would do well to
bear in mind in future. Unfortuna-
tely, in this case, it committed it-
self to a course that gave noisy
party disputants the leeway they
were looking for, and created a
squabble that nearly brought the
whole session to a standstill.
EDITORIAL NOTES
The Senate has now given third
and final reading to the Govern-
mentâs bill increasing old age pen-
sions by $10 a month to $75. Royal
assent is likely to be given this week,
making it possible to include the
inerease in the cheques to be mail-
ed to nearly 1,000,000 pensioners
later this month.

Improved health facilities now
protect pilgrims to Mecca. Hospitals
in the area have iced water tubs for
cases of heat stroke, and there are
mobile health units, emergency phar-
macies and even a modern ice fac-
tory at the foot of Mount Arafat.
More than a million Moslem wor-
shippers from 60 countries journey~
ed to Mecca this year, yet the pil-
grimage has been free from quaran-
tinable diseases.
PANG AAR
It is encouraging to note that
Canada has sold about 5,500,000
pounds of butter to the United
Kingdom in the first major export
sale of this kind since 1959. The
consignment, to be delivered before
Nov. 15, was priced well before the
prevailing export level of about $2
cents a pound at Montreal dockside,
The butter is one or two years old
and the sale was under keen com-
petition with the United States
which is believed to have obtained
tights to supply an equal amount
at higher prices, with fresher but-
ter involved,

The main advantage of the

there is no need to-keep track of

Sir,It is with deep regret
and profound concern that I
read in The Guardian recently
of the controversial issue, which |
is taking place. Prisoners walk-

Canada. What a shameful situa-

First of all I resent the state-

Matheson, Leader of the Oppos-
ition, in reference to the public
buildings committee. I have
been chairman for four years
and on the committee since 1951.
This committee is always made
up of MLAâs of both parties, who
are very conscientious in the
duties required of them. Grant-
ed while serving on several com-
mittees it is hard to do justice to
all, but I feel we, of this co
miltee, have âscratchedâ much
deeper than the surface.
âThe same civil servant has
written the report under both

+ Welcome visitors to the Province
today are the Hon. H. J. Robichaud,
Federal Minister of Fisheries, and
âMr. J. B. Hstey, president of the
Fisheries Council of Canad: who
are scheduled to speak before the
Prince Edward Island Fisheries
Federation at its annual meeting
this evening. Other prominent offic-
jals will be present at the meeting,
at which plans will be discussed for
the national convention of the Fish-
eries Council to be held here for the
first time next April.
Meanwhile, the industry is fac-
ing serious problems at the local

now being prepared on this subject.
by the provincial authorities for
presentation at Ottawa later this
month. This will come before Mr.
Robichaud in a formal way, and we
have every reason to expect that it
will be given due consideration.
Our problems, certainly, will not
be new to him. We may assume that
he has studied the comprehensive
report of the Prince Edward Island
Fisheries Development Committee
which was prepared a few years ago
under the chairmanship of the Hon.
Thane A. Campbell, Chief Justice
of the Province. This report was
pased on a number of surveys and
reports of various aspects of the
industry, and emphasized the need
r remedial measures in terms
yhich, to a considerable extent, re-
ain applicable today.
Mr. Robichaud is himself a
laritimer, and was a fisheries in-
tector and later Director of Fish-
ries for New Brunswick before
mtering politics. This early experi-
mee has served him in good stead
grappling with the responsibili-
ies of his office. We feel that he
concerned about our
fishermen and will do all in his
ower to aid them in solving their
nt difficulties. It is a privilege

is in session and there are many

The Wheat Sales Row
The House of Commons received
with applause last week the an-
nouncement by Trade Minister
Sharp that there will be no change
in Canadaâs wheat policy, despite
United States threats of retaliation
if this policy is continued.
What is all this row about, and
why has it stirred up so much
anger at Washington? Ostensibly
the reason is that we are selling
wheat at an agreed-upon priceâa
policy that goes back for many
years. The buyer undertakes to buy
80 much wheat over a period of
time; the seller guarantees to sell
the wheat at the price agreed upon.
If, while the agreement is in force,
the price goes up, the buyer is pro-
tected against the rise. If the price
goes down, the seller is protected
against the drop. Apparently our re-
cent agreement to sell 39 million
bushels to Japan at a set price put
the skids under U.S. plans to sell
to Japan at a price higher than the
Canadian price.
This is how it is interpreted by
the Winnipeg Free Press, which
speaks with authority on the sub-
ject. At the moment, because of
harvests elsewhere in the world,
Âą United States and Canada have,
pfactically,.a monopoly on wheat.
The United States would like to have
Canada âco-operateâ in setting a
âwheat price as high as the traftic
|
will bear. Ine U.S. an in-
crease of 15 cents a bushel, on the
assumption that under the laws of
supply and demand the world price
would go up by this amount.
Canada, however, refused to go
along. The Canadian price has in-
ed by eight cents a bushel in
âand could go up more.
But the wheat board wisely is look-
ing past the present temporary
shortage. It believes that our tradi-
tional customers should not be
charged sky-high prices merely be-
cause there is, temporarily, a sell-
erâs market in wheat. It believes
that future sales of Canadian wheat
should be protected, even at the ex-
pense of a quick profit today.'There
is also the danger that if the price
of wheat were permitted to sky-
rocket, farmers might be induced
to grow more wheatâwheat which
tomorrow we might have difficulty
selling.
It is not desirable to get at cross
purposes with Washington on this
or any other subject, but there is
a limit to which Canadian acquies-
cence in American demands can go.
The limit seems to have been reach-
ed in this case. The government at
Ottawa, having made this decision,
will be expected to stand firm on it.
A Point Well Taken
In the acrimonious debate on the
status of the New Democratic Party
and the divided Social Credit Party
in the House of Commons last week,
one speaker was singled out by the
Otawa Journal as contributing a
useful and sensible point. He was
Mr. Heath Macquarrie, junior MP
for Queens, who maintained that
the Social Credit problem should
not have been brought before the
committee at all, but left to the
divided members to settle as best
they could.
Mr. Macquarrie recalled to the
committee that there is provision
for facilitating the work of Parlia-
ment and ensuring that the House
is not occupied with petty matters.
The assumption is that parties will
make their own decisions and then
use âthe usual channelsâ which are
in fact the private meeting between
representatives of the various part-
ies to allocate seats and rooms, de-
cide on spokesmen to be recognized
and arrange the business of the
House on amicable lines.
Without these âusual channelsâ
Parliament would be bogged down
with trivia. Intra-party feuds are
not the business of Parliament but
the âusual channelsâ of amicable
discussion behind the scenes are
neglected by those in search of
privilegeâand $4,000 extra a year.
Our junior member for Queens
had indeed a good point here, which
the Government would do well to
bear in mind in future. Unfortuna-
tely, in this case, it committed it-
self to a course that gave noisy
party disputants the leeway they
were looking for, and created a
squabble that nearly brought the
whole session to a standstill.
EDITORIAL NOTES
The Senate has now given third
and final reading to the Govern-
mentâs bill increasing old age pen-
sions by $10 a month to $75. Royal
assent is likely to be given this week,
making it possible to include the
inerease in the cheques to be mail-
ed to nearly 1,000,000 pensioners
later this month.

Improved health facilities now
protect pilgrims to Mecca. Hospitals
in the area have iced water tubs for
cases of heat stroke, and there are
mobile health units, emergency phar-
macies and even a modern ice fac-
tory at the foot of Mount Arafat.
More than a million Moslem wor-
shippers from 60 countries journey~
ed to Mecca this year, yet the pil-
grimage has been free from quaran-
tinable diseases.
PANG AAR
It is encouraging to note that
Canada has sold about 5,500,000
pounds of butter to the United
Kingdom in the first major export
sale of this kind since 1959. The
consignment, to be delivered before
Nov. 15, was priced well before the
prevailing export level of about $2
cents a pound at Montreal dockside,
The butter is one or two years old
and the sale was under keen com-
petition with the United States
which is believed to have obtained
tights to supply an equal amount
at higher prices, with fresher but-

of the controversial issue, which |

up of MLAâs of both parties, who
are very conscientious in the
duties required of them. Grant-

all, but I feel we, of this co
miltee, have âscratchedâ much
deeper than the surface.
