Judy's Brave Noises |
“Miss Judy LaMarsh,” the
Winnipeg Free Press dourly, “con-
tinues to make brave noises about
the Government’s proposed contri-
butory pension plan. But it becomes
increasingly clear with each week
that passes that, much as the Min-
ister of Health and Welfare would
like to ride roughshod over all
criticism and obstacles, the Govern-
ment in fact is going to see that the
plan gets at least some of the dis-
passionate consideration that so im-
portant a measure should hav!

How far the Free Press, which is
one of Canada’s leading Liberal |
newspapers, is justified in di
guishing between the “brave noises’
of Miss LaMarsh and the policy of |
the Government of which she is a
member, a debatable point. If
cabinet solidarity means anything, |
surely she must be regarded as
speaking for the Government on a
measure of this kind. In which case,
wouldn't’ it be the Opposition that
should be credited with forcing her
to put the brakes on, and not her
cabinet colleagues?

But let’s hear the Free Press out
‘on the matter. “It was only a month
or so ago,” it recalls, “that Miss La-
Marsh was arguing that the pension
plan should not be referred to a
parliamentary committee on the
ground that not many MPs are
competent to assess the two conflict- |
ing viewpoints—that of the Govern-
ment which favors the plan, that of
insurance and trust companies and
others who oppose the scheme. The
minister then conceded, however,
that the legislation might after all be
referred to a committee. ‘We don’t
want to do it, but we may be forced
to.’ In Parliament this week Miss
LaMarsh went further; she announc-
ed that the pension bill would be re-
ferred to a parliamentary commit-
tee so that representations in favor
‘of and against the plan could be
made.”

“We”, be it noted, didn’t want
to take this course; not “I”. Pre-
sumably it was for the Government
“that Miss LaMarch was speaking on
is occasion at least. And the Free
‘Press commends the move as a wise
‘one. Agreement, it points out, must
‘first be secured from the province
of Ontario—Quehbec has already con- |
tracted out—and the scheme must
also be discussed with the other
provinces, at the federal-provincial
conference which starts on Novem-
ber 25. All of which means “that
even Miss LaMarsh’s prediction that
‘the plan will not become law until
the next session of Parliament, some
time in 1964, may be on the optimis-
tic side.”

Whatever the outcome, it’s go-
ing to be heads the Government

Winnipeg contemporary is concern-

government comment as yet, al-
though Whitehall is said to enter-
tain no regrets about the downfall
of the Diem family regime.

Except for the Communist Daily
Worker, the British press has dis-
counted allegations that the over-
throw of the regime was manoeuver-
ed by the United States. American
influence on events in Saigon is
realistically accepted. At the same
time there has been some blunt
criticism of what are considered er-
rors of United States policy.

Writing in the Sunday Times,
veteran Asia expert Richard Hughes
states that the South Vietnam
Army junta “could not and would
not have struck unless it was per-
suaded that the Americans would
look the other way.” The paramount
task for the incoming military re-
gime, he adds, is to convince the
war-weary South Vietnam people,
despite inevitable pro-Communist
propaganda, that the United States
presence restricted to United
States aid against the’ Communist
invasion, and that the future of the
South Vietnam people is their own.

When the revolt was in the mak-
ing, the London Daily Telegraph car-
ried this wry comment: “Once more
the world has seen demonstrated
what a brittle thing a regime under
the American aid-empire can be...
It is hardly likely that President
Kennedy was very surprised at such
a sudden upheaval after his finan-

is

| cial aid to President Diem’s special

forces was cut. But nobody seems to
draw the obvious deduction that
former ‘colonialism’ was not so bad
after all.”

Scotch Invasion

From an Athens correspondent.
of the New York Times comes word
that Bacchus, Greece’s ancient god
of the vine, is fighting a losing bat-
tle against a Scotch invasion. The
Greeks are changing their drinking
loyalties as fast as the bottles of
whisky land on their shores. The
vine has a local tradition of centur-
ies and two very powerful allies—
the government’s punitive taxation
on whisky, and a major drive to
promote wine drinking; but the new
habit is growing apace.

Five times as many Greeks have
taken to whisky drinking in the last
six years and consumption rose from
40,000 bottles in 1956 to 200,000 last
year. By the end of the year it is
expected to rise to 250,000 bottles,
representing 4,500,000 double tot:
one for each male member of the
population, including infants.

Whisky gained popularity in
Greece soon after the Second World
War, when thousands of British
soldiers were stationed there. A
heavy tax failed to deter consump-
tion. A proposal to clamp additional
deterrents was given up as soon as
the government realized that it
would be cutting down welcome cus-
toms revenue for its own budget.

Wine producers are putting up a
game fight, but with poor success.
They stage a wine festival every
fall at Delphi, near Athens, and for
an entrance fee of 66 cents visitors
are allowed to drink free all they
want from 42 varieties of selected
Greek wines. Some 80,000 people
visit the wine festival every year,
one-half of them foreign tourists.
But alas, The Times man reports
that many Greeks, after a wine-
drinking session at Daphni, were
seen driving back to some Athens
bar for a whisky nightcap!

demands of basic Christian prin-

The idea, as put forward
early in the current assembly

nations ‘make provision for

GAINING SUPPORT

This approach has drawn tn-
creasing support from Western-
bloc and neutral nations since
1955 when Pearson, then Can-
ada's external affairs minister,
was instrumental in getting a

help occasionally when the dis-
order is confined to the

Some drugs stimulate perspi-

belladonna, scopolamine, Ban-

secretion by blocking the nerve
impulses to the sweat glands.

dry the skin temporarily but dry
