" VEMBER 7, 1963. 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 Pwins, tails Judy loses, so far as our Winnipeg contemporary is concern- Restrained Reaction Canada, for the time being, is uspending judgment on the South ietnam revolution. External Af- Minister Martin says we will “quickly or lightly” extend omatic recognition to the new And 0) Leader 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! EDITORIAL NOTES Dr. J.R. Mutchmor, the moderat- or of the United Church of Canada, is no friend to Communism but he said realistically the other day that if Canada recognizes Red China enough to take its money for wheat we shouldn’t oppose it at the U.N. .
