Grave Quebec Emergency

It is to be hoped that the emer-
gency measures now taken by Pre-
mier Lesage will put an effective
stop to the wave of terrorism that
has swept Montreal and other parts
of Quebec in recent weeks. Military,
civil and police authorities have met
to map out a campaign to this end.
In a front page editorial over the
weekend, the Montreal Gazette says
that it is only the Premier who can
give to the campaign against the
guilty the resolution and impulse
that are needed. Only the prestige
of his office, and the vigor of his
character, can summon forth all the
many resources of Quebec and carry
them forward to united and decisive
action.

No longer can there be any hope
that the terrorists, having gone as
far as murder, might abandon their
tactics. The bombings have gone on,
contemptuous of life and defiant
of authority. It is the Government
most of all, of course, that is being
challenged. It is its authority that
is being insulted; it is its ascend-
ency that must be asserted.

Premier Lesage will draw to his
side the support of all responsible
Citizens, for there can be no reason-
able division of opinion here as to
the need for maintaining law and
order, and of upholding the sacred-
ness of human life. Mr. Lesage has
said that the terrorists are doing
enormous harm to Quebec as well
as to French Canada. They are, in-
deed, doing harm to the whole coun-
try, to its reputation as a civilized
nation and enlightened democracy.

There is no inclination on the
part of English speaking Canadians
to blame these outrages on their
French speaking compatriots as a
body, or on any responsible element
thereof; but the fact that the ter-
rorists profess to be French Cana-
dian extremists makes it all the
more important, for the good name
of French Canada, that they be
hunted down as dangerous crimin-
als. Only when they have been put
behind bars and brought to justice
will decent citizens be able to
breathe freely.

Not only Quebec, but the na-
tion generally, has the fullest con-
fidence in Premier Lesage, in his
ability to give the leadership that is
yequired in this emergency and in
his determination to wipe this blot
from the escutcheon of his province.

| Diplomatic Manoeuver
} | The NATO council sessions
: which open at Ottawa today are
billed as an attempt to map the fut-
ure of the nuclear defence network
in Western Europe; but according to
Lord Home, British Foreign Secret-
ary, the plans are not going to be
out overnight.” Accord-
} ing to Prime Minister Pearson, the
fessions will not affect Canada’s
1967 commitment to accept a role
iring nuclear arms in Western
defense.
. Barring a last-minute hitch in
4 delicate diplomatic deal, Wash-
ington expects that the 15 nations
of the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization will “ratify” an interal-
ied nuclear force on this occasion,
“without a vote and without giving
it a name.” The agreed-upon pro-
gram stipulates that the new ar.
nt will simply be

Ottawa will provide, in effect, for
the “assignment” of Britain’s 180-
plane strategic air force and of the
three United States Polaris submar-
ines stationed in the Meditterranean
tu NATO’s command and targeting
staffs.

The forces will not lose their na-
tional identities. They will be
manned, controlled and financed by
Britain and the United States, as be-
fore. They can also be withdrawn
for strictly national duty, as desired.
France, which has opposed any al-
lied arrangements that might chal-
lenge her nuclear independence, is
said to be ready to acquiesce in the
Ottawa announcement. Her officials
are expected to describe the change
as a routine reshuffle of organiza-
tion charts, and they will probably
claim a diplomatic victory in trim-
ming down propaganda about the
move.

As for the Kennedy administra-
tion, says The Times correspond-
ent, it will be happy to conclude the
manoeuver without becoming in-
volved in an imbroglio at Ottawa.
It looks upon the change as a step
—albeit a small one—toward giving
the allies a bigger role in NATO
strategic planning and satisfying
somne European desires for a greater
voice in Atlantic defense policy.

Those Jobless Figures

The latest report of the Domin-
ion Bureau of Statistics shows that
job opportunities are rising across
Canada, that the unemployment tot-
al dropped last month to 462,000,
that the mid-April jobless total was
87,000 lower than the total for
March and 23,000 lower than the
total for April last year. This rep-
resented 7 per cent of the labor force,
compared to unemployment rate of
7.5 per cent in April, 1962, and 9.7
per cent in April, 1961. It was also a
sharp drop from the 8.4 percent rate
of March of this year.

The figures for all Canada, how-
ever, are much more reassuring than
are those for the Atlantic Provinces
taken separately. To be sure, the
national trend was reflected by the
drop from 15.3 per cent in this area
in mid-March, to 14.1 per cent in
mid-April. But as the Fredericton
Gleaner points out, the fact re-
mains that this 14.1 per cent, when
compared with the 6.4 per cent rep-
resentative of the other six prov-
inces, is a sobering indictment of a
country that enjoys relative pros-
perity in its central and western
areas and permits depression in its
eastern extremity. In the national
interest, the new government at
Ottawa should not be long in facing
up to this problem.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Reports given to the House of
Commons reveal that a total of
42,209 people left Canada in the
1961 calendar vear to take up per-
manent United States residence,
roughly enough people to comprise
a good sized city. In terms of the
millions who populate the United
States this number is barely frac-
tional, but it represents a depressing
loss to Canada.

Commenting on the Liberal pro-
posal to “strengthen” the Atlantic
Development Board by providing it
with a huge capital assistance fund,
the Cape Breton Post remarks blunt-
ly: “It already was apparent that
the Fredericton chairman of this
board is mainly interested in dig-
ging a canal at enormous expense
across the neck of land separating
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
for the obvious purpose of aiding the
seaport of Saint John to the detri-
ment of Nova Scotia seaports. As
taxpayers and patriots, we cannot
applaud this objective.”

the Canadian Food and Drug Act

they could be made more ironclad.

This foolisimess is part of the

resources in the interests of
themselves rather than of Can-

First, there was an
reversal in our earlier reduction
of our adverse balance in trade
in goods. True, this was a com-
paratively smail $79 million last
year, but it had edged up from
‘a mere $14 million in the pre-
vious year. We have such a
huge adverse balance of inter-
national payments in non-trade
items, due chiefly to our high in-
terest payments on foreign cap- |
ital, that we should achieve a
substantial favourable balance in
trade to establish our true econ-
omic viability as a nation.

But it is in the direction of our
exports and imports that the

‘aE TRADE YEAR

Our total foreten trade last
year an impressive and
Feeord. $12%4 billion, That was
higher than the previous year by
$913 million, or 8 per cent

Of that total, no less ca $7
907 million or 64 per cent was
with our big neighbour. That
total is very satisfactory; but

less satisfactory is the excess of |

our lavish imports from USA, to-
falling $4,300 million, over our
sales of $3,608 million to that
country. We can ill afford to
overspend our earnings in USA
so drastically - forcing the im-
portation of capital - whicl
means increased economic sub-
servience - to meet the bill.

Our sales to our second best
customer, Britain, are on
much smaller scale. We export-
ed to Britain goods worth $909
million, almost exactly one-
quarter of our sales to USA; yet
we bought much less from Bri-
tain, only to the value of $563
million or about one-eighth of
our imports from USA. This big
favourable balance on our trade

with Britain contributed sub-
