will be decided. In addition to prob-

surprising strength in a number of

lems of trade and unemployment—- so he told a nominating Convention in Ontario~—'there will be the ques- tion of which party “is likely to do the most for world peace”. A

This sounds very much like an oblique reference ,to Mr. Pear- son’s winning the Nobel Peace Prize. That was a high honour, in- deed, not only to himself personally

“but to the whole Canadian delega- tion at the United Nations and, not least, to former Prime Minister St. Laurent under whose direction ‘Mr. Pearson V did his work. But it would be a pity for the award to be injected into political controversy. Mr. Pearson may or may not make a good Prime Min- ister of Canada, should he be called to the post; but the fact that he was the recipient of a Nobel prize, does not, in itself, add one cubit to his stature as an administrator of gov- ernment. A man could be the world’s greatest dip1omat—and even Mr. Pearson’s most enthusiastic admir- ers would scarcely‘ claim for him that distinction-—and yet fail » mis- erably as the leader of a govern- ment. It all depends on what other qualifications he may possess—or lack. ‘ 7' _ _

On the whole, according to all re- ports, Mr. Pearson served’ Canada well as External Affairs Minister. But there has been no falling off in Canada’s influence in world coun- cils since he relinquished his office, nor ‘has the United Nations crum- bled. As far as can be‘seen,' the cause of world peace was not hurt by transfer of responsibility in Can- ada’s External Affairs Department from Mr. Pearson to Mr. Smith.

- Expanding Industry 1

Of interest to ,-all our dairy (far-

mers is the announcement in today’s , issue of the working partnership .‘

formed by Central Crearneries Ltd.,

of Charlottetown with the national- ,

ly known firm of Cow and Cate (Canada) Ltd., of Brockville, On- tario. Messrs. John and Percy Sim- monds have made a phenomenal success of Central Creameries Ltd. in recent years, and the. reputation

.of their products has gonefar and

wide. Under the new setup, which involves no change in corporate- identity, the resources of the large

Ontario organization" in marketing,‘

and technological services will be at the local firm’s disposal, and will be of great advantage in the expanded activities which are now being plan- ned. This will mean a greater de-_ mand for Island dairy products, and greater stability for this important

, industry generally.

‘As noted in the news story, the merger is hailed with warm ap- proval by the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, and by Premier Matheson on behalf of the Provin. cial Government. It writes .a new chapter in industrial progress local- ly. in keeping with the era of econo- mic advance upon which the Atlan- tic Provinces have embarked.

Important B'y-Election

he results of the most recent by-election in Britain show without a. doubt that the present Conserva- tive Government has ‘lost favour with the electorate. A vote of less than 10,000 out of nearly 50,000 polled was an extremely poor show- ing. Indeed, this, added to other de- feats and near-defeats in a series of by-elections makes it clear that were the Government to go to the country in the near future it would go down to devastating defeat,

Despite -these portehts of disas- ter, Prime Minister Macmillan con- tinues in his policies in the‘ con- viction that‘ they are good for the country. This may not be politically wise: but it is difficult not to feel admiration for a government which adhers to what it believes to be right, no matter what the cost. This is politics at its best; although, ob-

best diplomatic ‘

by-elections. Some political obser- vers in Britain are of the opinion that it is on the way back to public favour such as it \commanded in years gone by. Others believe that in course of time the Conservatives, the Liberals and the moderate Labour- ites will combine and present a unit- ed front to the left-wing Socialists. Still others are predicting four par- ties-—Conservatives, Liberal, Labour and Socialist. _

Political Straws The big question mark in the ‘coming Federal Election is Quebec. Will it shed its traditional Liber- alism and get on the Diefenbaker band-wagon? The Toronto Telegram has analyzed the editorial views of four French language dailies to show that at this stage of the campaign the Conservatives pan hope for significant gains. Here is the sum- mary: . , La Presse. of"Montreal, which is strictly independent in its political approach, approves the Govern- _ment’s decision to call an election . and calls for a return of one of the two major parties with an, over- all majority. " ' Montreal Matin, a strong sup- porter of Mr. Duplessis, stresses the present weakness of the Liberals in Quebec and also applauds the Gov- ernment’s decision to call a general election. . Le Devoir, journalistic voice of the diminishing Nationalist point of view'1n Quebec‘, criticizes Mr.‘Pear- son’s want of confidence motion in the House of Commons and also stresses the Liberal weakness in Le Soleil, of Quebec City, strong- ly pro-Liberal, publishes an editorial which is most significant for what it does not say. Instead of beating the Q drums for the ‘Liberal party as would be expected, it calls on both major parties to present a positive PI‘0gI'am With tax concessions and consideration for the provincial,gov- ernments. _ These four editorials show the most favorable’ attitude toward the Progressive’ Conservatives in the

ggenchllaflguage press since the 19- ’s.

EDITORIAL NOTES

While strong‘ opposition to tolls on the St. Lawrence Seaway is de- veloping, particularly among Ameri- ' can shippers, Canada is going ahead on the assumption that the pro- ject must pay for itself over a per- iod of ‘.30 years. Jean Lessard, Vice- President of the Canadian Seaway authority, stated in a speech at Mon- treal that “if the United States and Canada can’t agree, our law per- mits us to collect tolls unilaterally”.

‘k 3 Q

There are fifty-one seats which can decide the 1958 Federal election. This is the opinion of The Financial Post which has compiled facts and figures on close contests in the last, election. In fifty-one of the.265 seats at stake last June 10, the winner had a margin of fewer than 1,000 votes over the second-place candidate. This means, says the Post, that on March 21 in these, ridings, only 500 voters or fewer need to switch their votes from the 1957 winner to the party that ran second, and that party will have a new Member of Parliament.

A late report issued by the Canadian Petroleum Association estimates “recoverable oil” in Wes- tern Canada as at least 50 billion barrels, exclusive of the Athabasca oil sands in Northeastern Alberta. This amount compares with 4 billion barrels developed to the end of 1957 in the three Prairie Provinces, Bri- tish, Columbia and the Northwest Territories.

OTTAWA REPORT

Mr. Pea rson’s Promises

By Patrick

Nicholson

Special Correspondent for The _Guardian

Ottawa: It was a well-rested: joke-cracking politician just re- turned from a long weekend snow- sporting with his grandchildren, who launched the Liberal election campaign at an early morning press conference here last week.

Hon. Lester Pearson, the beral Party leader, was back at‘ the old stand, drawing a capacity. crowd of newsmen to a press con- ference; just as in‘the past his, regular weekly conferences ustdf to draw full audiences of ‘news- -men to hear the bow-tied shirt- sleeved and jovial foreign minis- tér describe the world’s big dip- lomatic league outside Ottawa.

On this occasion, the new Mr. Pearson in his new role explain- ed the Liberal Party’s election platform.

It made him appear like San- ta Claus, carrying a capacious bag containing some little present for everybody: for the n3#wly- weds, for the high‘ school students for the car-buyers, for the small businessmen, for the home buy- ers, for the Maritime tourist op- erators, for the northern prospec-

the sick, for the grain farmers, and for the university students.

It all seemed wonderful. LOOKIT THAT GIFT HORSE

But there was a catch in it, for Mr. Pearson was like a store San- ta, handing out gifts not free, but paid for by fathers who stood smiling wanly in the background while Santa practised the decep- tion on a line of Juniors.‘

The cost of the “gifts” offered by Mr. Pearson would be an es- timated $250 to every father a- cross Canada next year.

The immediate reaction to this program was not that it was ‘a transparent bid for electoral pop- ularity, .but that it demonstrated how adversity softens a politic- ian’s heart. For these alluring promises had not been contained in the last budget of the Liberal government introduced by Mr. Walter*Harris only ten months earlier. They were not contained in the Liberal campaign platform even later, last,June, at a time when the Liberal Party was rid- ing confident and decided that popularity was the'ir’s by right, not by purchase.

But now suddenly, as if in an attempt to recover their lost pu-

blic support, the Liberals hold out

to us these 1958 election baits. Mr. Lester Pearson explained his points carefully and clearly.

The cost of the offered tax cuts,.

he said, would be $400,000,000 a year. The cost of the programs to assist municipalities with pu- blic works, to build railroads,‘ and

l

tumpikes, and to increase certain 3 welfare and educational benefits

he had not calculated. It would robably add more than a further -$600,000,000.

“This money," Mr. Pearson said, “might be‘ taken from the two and one half billions which we ( the Liberals) put to reduc- tion of the national debt in those years when things ‘were going well.”

DEFICIT BUDGETS’

He was referring to the regu- lar yearly surpluses, resulting from the over-taxation by Liberal governments in the ten years fol- lowing the end of the war._ His pre- sent proposal, namely to budget for deficits in present years, is consistent with the policy expoun- ded so often by former Liberal Fi- nance minlster D. C. Abbott, who year afterjyear collected from us in taxes more money than the government needed, and then ex- plained that this was “cyclical budgeting."

By this phrase he meant that the government would overtax and record a surplus in rich years; but budget for a deficit in years when the national econo- my needed priming.

This promise to budget for a deficit, to spend 6ur way out of the present recession, is the basic theory underlying Mr. Pearson’s election program. By thus announ-

cing it public-ly, he has repudiated ,

the oft-heard comment of Hon. James Sinclair, ex-Fisheries Min- ister of the late Liberal Govern- ment, who time after time crit- cised the preseit government be- cause they appeared to him to be heading for a deficit in their cur- rent financing.

Mr. Pearson has made it clear that, no matter whic h party should‘ win next month's election we will add to our national debt in the‘ year 1958 to spend our way out of the present business slack-off. This, it seems, is the sensible thing to do. Now, all we have to do is to decide what would be the best method of spending that borrowed money.

Q Whole-Chasing Scientists

National Geographic Society

Scientists are chasing whales these days with all the determin- ation of Captain Ahab after M0- by Dick. '

A big whale may grow as long as four buses parked end to end. Its quarter of a millionzor more pounds would balance the weight of the entire populatin of a town with 1,500 inhabitants.‘ S-uch a specimen could hold an -elephant in its mouth with room to spare.

Yet this mighty mammal has proved one of the most elusive animals that science has pursued. No man has ever loll’/wed a whale in its dive into the ocean abysses. Few whales have ever been brought back alive for study, and these were minnows compar- ed to their mammoth relatives. WHALE’S PULSE

Dr. Paul'Dudley White, Pres- ident Eisenhowe'r‘s heart consul- tant, has gone on two expedi- tions to measure the heartbeat of gray whales. Though the whales were less than coopera- tive, the expeditions provi.'_ed in- formation that will, aid further scientific work. Knowledge of whale heart action may eventual- ly benefit people with heart trou- bles.

Another scientist, Dr. John Kanwislier of the WOODS ilole Oceanographic Institution.‘ h a s succeeded in taking a wliales temperatue—-slightly lower than a man's-—with a harpoon-then mometei‘. Like man. the whale has almo:-:t no hair, and is warm-

blooded. Scientists have wonder-

ed how it regulates its temper- ature to withstand extremes in the seas.

The study indicated that the blubber - insulated whale may lose heat from its comparatively uninsulated flippers and tail. More blood apparently flows to the flippers and tail when the whale needs to cool off.

Australian Navy experts are studying whales in the hope of improving equipment used by frogman. A harpooned whale can dive down 3,000 feet and come up immediately, while a man gets the agonizing “bends" from too rapid change in pres- sure if he rises suddenly only 150 feet.

Other scientists have been mark- ing whales with harmless iden- tification tags shot into their blubbery flanks. The scientists hope to find out more about whale migration habits and long- evity.

WHALES HAVE “SONAR”

Whales probably can h ear sounds that are too high-pitched for human ears. Scientists have found this to be true for the smal- ler members of the whale fam- ily —- dolphins and porpoises - wnhich behave much like their giant relatives.

Whales v(=i'y likely can also send out higli-pitched sounds, ac- cording to Dis W.N. Kellogg and Robert Kohler of the Oceanogra- phic lu::t‘tu‘.e of Florizla Slate Un- i\'ei'sity. .\lci‘eo\'ei‘. the animals may be able to hear echoes from

CBC DI§ECTIVE

Sir,-—Your editorial to the ef’-’ feet that the CBC has “banned . use of the word “Yank” is mcor-' rect. ‘ . ‘ The editorial was probably has- ed on misinformation contained in published reports about a CBC directive. We appreciate that you had no way of knowing the re- ports were in error. We should ‘ike to point out, however, that this was another instance of inac- curate information about the CBC being circulated.

The directive was issued by the CBC central newsroom in Toron- to. It was prepared only for the guidance of the CBC news edi- tors, and was designed to be ap- plied exclusively to news broad- casts.

A copy of it is attached. Please feel free to print it. .

' Your editorial also said: “Only in the Deep South, where ‘no one

the CBC, is (Yank) considered a derogatory designation." ‘ ‘ It may interest you to know that we have received a number of letters -— all congratulatory - from people in that section of the United States, telling us they are regular listeners to CBC news- casts and other programs. The CBC has manyregular listeners in other parts of the United States. , _ Would you not agree too. sir, that it is a fact that some Can- adians use “Yank” in a deroga- tory sense now and then?

Commercial whaling goes on, despite fears that the whale pop- ulation is declining from over- hunting with such modern equip- ment as helicopters. Some New Zealand farmers go whaling as a sideline. They have their fields to hunt whales migrating through Cook Strait..Waste from whale butchery fertilizes the farmers’ fields. '

Whales still are prized for their oil-rich blubber, but other tissues now have uses. The whale’s pituitary gland is an im- portant source of ACTH (adren- ocorticotropic hormone) used in treating arthritis.
