“The strongest memory is weaker than-the-weakest-ink”——. PAGE 4 SATURDAY, AUG. 7, 1965.

—The-Price fag ——

President Johnson has not pre- sented the American people with the bill for the stepped-up war in Viet Nam. One reason, of course, is that he does not know what:-the cost will be. What he has said is that he will now increase American — strength there from roughly 75,000 to 125,000 men, and that all that is necessary will be done to-prevent-a-Viet-Cong victory. At Washington, there is wide disagreement between officials in the Pentagon and senators on Cap- itol Hill-over what that will amount to in round millions. %

According to official figures t he U.S. is now spending between $2.5 million and $3 million a day in Viet Nam, or around. $1 billion anually. With the increases. already granted and the $2 billion increase now sought the figures could still be under $4 billion on an annual basis.“ But recently two of the Senate’s most experienced and informed members, John Stennis of Mississippi and Rich- ard B. Russel of Georgia, got into the cost question with different figures.

Senator Stennis, acting chairman of the Senate Armed Services Com- mittee, estimated: for-this fiscal-year the war would cost roughly “10 to 12 to 14 billion dollars.” Senator Rus- sel, chairman of the committee, agreed that “if we continue to in- crease our forces there, it could easi- ly reach $10 to $12 billion.”

_ These figures are reported to have startled as~yell as disturbed Pentagon officials. They claimed tot- al ignorance of any information to * justify such “high estimates. The~ senators, they said, must -be assum- ing that the war would escalate beyond anything the President had mentioned ng

and the Viet Nam conflict is unlikely to-prove an exception. Indeed, _ it . Shows all the signs of being a long- drawn-out and increasingly costly af- fair, both in men and money. The bill, could run into staggering propor- tions.on. both counts.

A New Consensus

Some timely thoughts on the sub- ject of constitutional amendments were offered at the 34th Couchiching Conference at Geneva Park, Ontario, this week, by the Hon. Maurice

——_—_ Sauve,-_federal--minister—of—forestry—

——per-cent-of-all-positions-in-a~given +

Mr: Sauve does not believe that we

have yet reached a consensus of |

opinion on this matter. It should be

sought, he argued. in connection with

three great questions in particular. Two of these questions arise from the existence of two major cultural and linguistic groups; the third re- lates to the pronounced regional dif- - ferences in the country’s-economy. “The first question, of course, is the fundamefttal problem of the rela- tionship between English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians. This involves the congept of equal partner- ship, and what this implies in prac- tice. It does not mean numerical equality at all levels and in all fields, the minister ‘emphasized. French- ‘speaking Canadians form only 30 per cent of the population, and they are fully conscious of the fact. Neither does it mean that they must hold 30

area, or any other fixed’proportion. Above all, he said, it does not mean that any French-speaking Can- adian should be promoted to a pos- for which he_is not qualified,

nply in order to. satisfy the de- ds of equality. Equal respon- ity entails. equal qualifications. at equal partnership does mean, essentially, is true equality of OP-

PORTUNITY in all fields.

. .— On/the subject of biculturalism,

the minister made the same plea for ehal status of the two. cultures and

} languages throughout “thes country, , and for equal access to cultural fac- | flities. There must be no forcing of

; two cultures on anybody, but simply of making the facilities for both avail-

- able to-all Canadians- so that théy-can™+

| choose whichever they want. It is hoped, of course, that many Cana- dians*will sample and enjoy both cul- tures; but this is not the primary pur- pose, though it is perhaps the most rewarding and enriching result of it. Finally, said Mr. Sauve, ‘‘we must assure to all Canadians in all regions of the country a level of economic activity that will ensure full employ- ment, and a living standard that is within the parameters of a well de- fined national average. There must be a sufficient economic development to assure the continuous growth of our economy in an orderly fashion, -so as to eliminate or alleviate the | hardships that are due to economic change or interruption.” |. This is a credo to which all Cana- dians can subscribe. If we haven't |. reached.a“‘consensus’’on_the-matter, it is time we did-so.—A-salute-to Mr. Sauve for having clarified the points

that are of real concern,.and bringing |}~"

the achievement of our common goals a little nearer thereby.

Medicare In US.

Medicare is-still at the talking stage in Canada, but within the past few days it was enacted into law in the United” States. President John- son, when he signed it. said ‘‘we mar- vel not simply at the passage of this bill, but that it took so many vears.”

There is considerable difference, however, between the American leg- islation and the proposed Canadian scheme. It is limited, for one thing, to persons over 65. The basic cover- age is financed by Social Security dnd provides for hospitalization up.to 90° days for each illness with the patient paying fhe first $40 and, after 60 days, an additional $10 daily. Nurs- ing-home care, home nursing, out- patient tests and diagnoses are also covered.

There is a voluntary supplement- ary coverage which is financed by $3 ‘monthly premiums in addition to fed- . eral funds and would- extend cover- age to doctors’ fees as well as other health services and supplies. The patient would pay the first $50 of his annual costs and 20 per cent of the remainder.

This expansion of Social Secur- | ity—the most ambitious since the sys- tem was started 30 years ago—also calls for an average 7 per cent rise‘in - the regular cash benefits currently - being paid. To finance all the new pro- visions, Social Security taxes for em- ployees and employers will be pro- gressively increased, starting -next January trom the current 3.625 per

We confess that it never oc- curred to us to link India and Norway in any way. They seem- ed so far from each other and So different in culture and cli- mate — almost as though the grand old hymn had read “‘from Norway’s.icy mountains, from India’s coral strands.’’ But what we never thought of, the Indian’ and Norwegian governments have, and with excellent results.

For almost a decade and a half now, Norway has beer ~put- ting its great skill in commer- cial fishing at India’s - disposal. With help from the United Na- tions, Norway has been provid- ing both gear and technical ‘skill to help India take a much higher volume of food from the fish- rich seas around it.

Although Indians have, been fishermen for as long as history records, they’ have not ‘hitherto

_ been highly efficient as skill is judged in these modern times. But with India’s population growing by an estimated 10,- ,000 a year, Indians could no longer afford to fish as their fa-

fished.
