Farcical Debate

'I'l1t'lifl was an unrealistic tone to iltcRuti:1ci debate speeches tltis week in the l.egislatut'c. atid for a quite tiiitlctxstitiidablc reason. If the Federal timcrnntcitt cheque of over a million dr-lI;n'-'. now overdue utidcr the tax rciitul iigrcetticitts, has been witii- hclri. and if further deductions are to be iiiade on account of a mis- t-ztlt-iilatioti by Federal census offic- ials, where do we stand with regard in this year's financing?

The Pi-oviiiciai Treasurer esti- p tiiulctl :in overall deficit of S1.79-7.8533 l for the year ended March 31st, and l for this year he has budgeted for :-in I ovcriill deficit of S3.434-145- All his calculations are. of course, based on anticipated revettue. If titis revenue

million and a half dollars. which Ottawa is now claiminlZ- What l'l0l"l was there in discussing the budget? If the present expenditure estimates are passed. ntuch heavier borrowing from the banks, and much hel1Vl9-Y interest charges than were budgeted for will be required. Our whole fiscal program will, in short. be thrown out of gear. Would it not be better, in the circumstances. to have pre- pared a new Budget. or have the Hang; adjourn pending further ne- gotiations with Ottawa?

Realistic action is exl'W't9d of "Ur legislators in it crisis of this kind, the most serious to be faced by any government in this Province since Confederation. To hear members get up and discuss the budget in speeches prepared days in advance. without any reference to the demands Ot- lawn is now making for reimburse- ment, is to make one wonder whether they have In.V c”"CePt10" It all of the situation in which we are placed. 1 As pointed out yesterday. We have legitimate claims on the Fed- eral Government, stemming from our very lack of population increase, which more than offset the sums now being withheld. But the first thing is to know where we stand. Voting Estimates without this know- ledge will not get us anywhere. The Legislature should refuse to be I - party to such I farce, and should make clear to the Federal Govern-

ment where the responsibility lies

for the whole unfortunate situation.

Education Report

Of great interest to all our citi- zens is the report of the Select Standing Committee on Education, which was presented to the Legis- lature last evening by the chairman. Mr. Frederic A. Large. Q.C. It ap- pears in full in today's issue, and doubtless will be read and studied carefully.

The report notes that almost all the briefs submitted dealt at some length with training. qualifications and working conditions of teachers. It analyses these presentations and makes specific recommendations, notably in connection with junior matriculation standing as a minimum required for admission to teacher training course, establishment of I teacher certification board, reclassifi- catibn of teachers' licenses, payment of service increments yearly and provision for a greater differential between statutory salaries for first

Act Ind mu-can the view thnt ttio free public non-IectIt-inn school sys- tem be continued in order to provide equal opportunities for all classec and cn-eds.

The report also deals with school supervision. administration. trans- portItion of pupils, federal aid. re- gional high schools and othcr ques- tions. It urges the House to cott- sider seriously whether or not an adequate portion of existing pro- vincial revenue is being alloted to education. Ind suggests that taxcs for rural school purposes might be levied, collected and spent more ef- fectively than at present, by iat'L'cr area boaids. It proposes that a com- mittee comprised of an equal number from each of the two political piirtics make a study of the tax structure of the Province, for the purpose of recommending to the House the bc-t plan by which our future educatititrtl needs may be met.

The Committee had a gargaiilu:ut task in sifting the mass of eviticu -0. views and opinions presented in it. it is surprising that it was able to do so in so short a time, and britrz in a report so comprchetisive. both in its analysis and reconittiendatioiis. it will take time and study to ucigli the full import of the findings, but it will be generally conceded lllilf a valuable public service has been performed, and an example set in the way of speed and thorougiincss which few, if any, legislative coin- mittees have ever approached.

A Beloved Physician

Though not a native Prince Ed- ward Islander, the late Dr. P. A. Creelman was so long associated

with public health services in this i

Province, and took such a leading

part in the fight against tubercu- t

losis, that his name was a household

word throughout the Island. Since .

1930 he held the position of chief medical superintendent of the Pro- vincial Sanatorium, and his skill, ex- perience and devotion were of in- calculable value' to-,i1ll Concerned. He was truly a dedicated physician, as well as a man of charming and sympathetic personality.

His death at early age comes with a sense of

personal loss to many thousands of i

our citizens, with whom The Guard- ian joins in extending sincere synt- pathy to Mrs. Creelman and family.

A dispatch from Brockfield. Ont., says that 90-year-old Joseph Steacy ”runs his own farm." Well, that's not particularly surprising. It is very rarely that a man of his age is work- mg as a hired hand.

WARMING UP

Power For New Brunswick

Fredericton Gleaner

An micutiute supply of power for New llriiiisvtick lias been the first aim of Premier FIcmming's (iovernmenl. it was an aim impos- sible of at-liievciiicitt without the aid of the Fedcrzil (iovernnient.

For four years he has battled. At no time has he received en- cuiiragciticiil. At some times the probabilities htivc seemed so re-

mote, the cliaticcs of success so unlikely that his critics have thouglil he uas wasting his time and evc,i1 his supporters have dilllhicti. -

Today he is abundantly jtistl- fied. .llr. llarris in his budget

stulcnictil has outlined a plan for building thermal iiiiils to provide New Brunswick and Nova Scutiu with the power that will be neces- sary to serve their itccds. The titer- mal units will burn coal and there will he an integration of supply and fistrihutinii bctween the two provinces. This is exactly the plan that has been proposed. explained and prnuiotcd by Premier Flem- nuntz. over the years. He dealt with it in some detail at the Prem- ier's ('onfcr(-nce at Fredericton last year.

Tlie cost at wlti h the power will

be supplied to the protiiiccs is of material concern. No doubt the Federal Government will subsi- dize the cost of Nova Scolian and New Brunswick coal. At the pres- ent time the Nova Scntian coal subvcntion rises to 34.75 per ton in ntnke possible the use of Nova Scoiian coal in the factories of cen- tral Canada.

The gas pipeline will curtail this market and the St. Lawrence Sea- way will cheapen the import of American coal from Pennsylvan- ia" so that. to foster Nova Scotian coal, the Federal Government might well have had to increase the subvcnlion. The cost of it at the present time is about ten mil- lion dollars a year.

Burning the coal in Maritime power furnaces will remove this load from the Federal Treasury, and some of the benefit will. no doubt, be passed on to the prov- inces in a reduction of power costs. Similarly. the cost of financing the dexclnpnicnt will he niucb less for the Federal Government than for the provinces. and this saving. again. will be reflected in the cost of power.

.tll1i.H()Uit.Vl-1: There is keen interest in Canberra in reports from Washington that the United States may reconsider its long- standing refusal to recognize ter- ritorial claims by other nations to parts of the Antarctic.

Th e discovery on Mchlurdo Sound. in the Ross Sea Dependen- cy Iultlch New Zcnland claims). of a site apprrently suitable for an all-weatlicr air field seems to hmc raised lhe question of who- their the US. should not build one in pztrtnersltlp with New-Zealand. II the U.S. is to remain in Antarc- tica an air base is essential. So far no similar site has been found elscwhcrc on the continent. But if the United States does establish lt- scli there. it cannot claim sovcr- cigiiiy williout admitting the right of nthcr cuiintries to stake their claiins.

Riissia is the bi! problcui. At Mirny. in the Australian sector of AnIEIl'('il('5l. llic U.S.Slt. is estu- hlishing an extra-ordinarily well- cquippcd base for the study of oc- rsanugmpliv - it science that will provide the iicccssary data for the csiablishmcnt of a submarine base. This is being done at Australia's invitation. in connection with the international Geophysical Year. tlirny is in lun 2,000 miles of Aus- tralia and is only itIlll' hourls fly- in: tune attay by jet aircraft. WF.l.l. SUPPLIED

The Soviet expedition is I00 slrontz and is almost as well sup- plicd a.-Mhat of the United States. There has been no hint from the Soviet Union so far of any intel-

tion to remain at Miriiy after the international Year ends in Decem- ber 1958. But the Issembly of I vast array of the most modern scientific equipment and the build- ing of a siibstantisl village have given a disquieting impression of permanence.

Australil has advanced her base at Mawson, on the Antarctic mainland. 3.250 miles south-cast of Melbourne. to a high pitch of efficiency. She has recently es- tablished another in the Veslfold Hills. 400 miles east of Mawson. But the security of her foothold on the southern coiitint.-nl may well dcpriul on the United Siateii' wil- llngncss lo recognlte territorial claims or in make I claim for it- scll. ,

U.S. policy has stemmed large- ly from the opinion of some inter- national Jurists that occuplllon of Antai-ctica has been neither nut- flciently permanent nor continu- bus to justly territorial claims. Some countries favor internation- al control of Antarctica and the US. has so far tended to support this altitude.

AUSTRALIAN CLAIM

Australia has circulated maps which lay claim to an area of 2.- 473.000 square miles--nearly half of the Antarctic continent. The Aus- tralian claim is based on the pin- ncering work of English and Aus- tralian explorers during the past 00 years. and particularly on her own activity in the last ten years.

Australia's exploration of the Antarctic began with Sir Doufilas Mawsons expecition of I919 - 11,

RAIL SUBVENTIONS

The Maritime-s are to receive the benefits of increased rail sub- ventinns. and a full inquiry is to be held into the question of their transportation problems generally.

B oi h power assistance I n d freight-ralc relief did not como too soon. and these provinces are not being offered more than is due them. But signs now point to the possibility that the high wall of , Ottawa indifference has been breached and that the Federal Government has at last begun to alleviate the inequality from winch this region long has suffer- e .

The 32 million increase in the rail subventlon can be regarded only as the first step. it alone will not bring the Maritime Freight Rates Act up to date. That piece of legislation is too complex to be suitably amended by a 52 million outlay. But, as Mr. Howard A. Mann. manager of the Maritime: Transportation Comntission. saylz "it's the first will break in our frieght rate tall in 30 years."

which nccupicd I base on Common- wealth Bay. on the mnliiland. for two successive winters. in 1929-31 Mawson led I second expedition which at several points took for- mal possession of new discoveriu for the Crown. After the U.K. Gov- ernment transferred to Australia control over what is now claimed Is Australian territory. the Com- monwcaltli Parliament passed In act placing the tcrrlrolry under Australian sovereignty.

What was done by discovery and by legislation has been consolida- led by recent activity. In 1946 I meteorological station was estI. bllshed at Heard Island. 2.000 mil- es southwest of Perth in Western Australia in 1940 another was pla- ced on ltlucqiuirie Island, 1.000. miles south-cast of Hobart. In 1954 an Australian party began to dev- elop the main base at Mawtzon. on the coast of Mat-Robertson Land. And now there are the beginnings of a second station which has been named Davis. after Captain J. K. Davis. lie was Mawson's right- hand man in his first expedition Ind had previously been to the Antarctic with Sir Ernest Shackle- ton in l9074l9.

"Some people may Ihink." said Richard G. Casey. the Australian Minister of External Affairs, "that we hIve enough problems in Aus- trIllI without bothering about the Antarctic. But with the world rIp- idly contracting and science over- coming distance so last, we can- not tnmtemplnte another country getting Ihead of ill in this great lIud man so close to our Iouth."

lis advance is rapid Ind is Ic- companied by a destructive proc- on which might terminate in blind- nesl. Fortunately. few persona suffer from it.

MIDDLE AGE

The third type begins with mid- dle age. While many victims seem to be in perfect health. it usually attacks those with poor general health or unhealthy eyes.

Sometimes. we believe. it re- sults from certain blood disorders.

Nearslghtedness occurs in some persons because their eyeball: are too loni: from front to back. In such cases the light rays from ob- jects any distance away come to a focus in front of the retinas. This results in blurred images. FOCUSING DIFFICULTIIZS

Other l'lL'llml have similar fo- cusing difficulties because the len- sea of their eyes bend the light run too sharply. '

No matter what the cnuse of the trouble. all victims of myopia re- quire glasses which will bend the light rays so that they focus on the retinas and produce clear, sharp images. '
