Much To Be Done

At the opening of the last session of Parliament we had occasion to comment on the compre- hensive nature of the Speech from the Throne. That session, as we know, came to an untimely end, and with it much of the legislation that was slated for enactment. At yes- terday‘s opening of the new Parlia- ment another very promising Speech was delivered, and we can only hope that it will meet with a better fate than did its predecessor.

It forecasts, among other things, the establishment of a commission to make a national study of bicul- turalism, the making available to the armed forces “the modern weap- ons necessary to perform effective- ly the defense tasks which Canada has undertaken”, the improvement of political and economic relation- ships with other countries; provis- ion of more employment through creation of new industries; exten- sion of technical training in coopera- tion with the provinces, and provis- ion for a department of industry to foster industrial expansion.

An area development agency is to be appointed; capital assistance is to be provided for the Atlantic Development Board; a municipal de- veiopment and loan board is to be set up; the National Housing Act is to be amended; provision is to be made for two ministers of agricul- ture. and there will be an effort to expand agricultural markets at home and abroad.

The Government i n t e n d s to secure the establishment of a 12- mile limit for the use of Canadian fisheries. and to initiate consulta- tion with the provinces to work on a program for national fishery de- velopment. There is also to be estab- lished a comprehensive system of contributory pensions, to be made 'operative as soon as possible.

The implementation of these and other provisions will depend on whether the new Parliament is able to function without being subjected to the kind of torpedoing that wreck- ed the last one. Fortunately, the chances are more favorable on this occasion.

But more cooperation will be expected from the present Opposi- tion than the last one was prepared to give. And if wrangling is to be kept at a minimum, the new Prime Minister himself will be expected to set the example. If he assumes every criticism to be politically inspired, and goads his opponents into ob- structionist tactics, he will have himself to blame. The new Opposit- ion leader, so recently Prime Minis- ter, has said that he will not follow such tactics; but it will be up to the Government to give the lead in reasoned, non-partisan discussion.

Dropped From The Team One of Canada's outstanding rep- resentatives at the United Nations, and its chief spokesman on financial matters during the last two sessions, was Brig. John H. Price of Montreal. He won a lot of respect for his work in the international group and spear- headed U.N. acceptance of the Inter- national Court of Justice’s opinion that the cos ts of peace-keeping operations in the Middle East and the Congo should be divided among the member nations as legitimate

ml‘k lied he ranaimd with the mis-

munist—hsd previously his election to the post.

The other day we noted, ap- preciatively, an Ottawa report that Brig. Price would be retained for this special session, which is seek- ing a way out of the U.N.‘s indebt- edness, notwithstanding the fact that he is a longtime Conservative and was appointed to the mission under the Diefenbaker Government. It seemed highly desirable, from the standpoint of Canada’s prestige, that he should remain in the post he has filled so well.

However, it has now been an- nounced by External Affairs Minis- ter Martin that Brig. Price has been dropped from Canada's diplomatic team in New York. It’s an old tradit- ion, of course, that to the victors belong the spoils. Such political changes are nothing new. But there were good reasons here for making an exception, in the national inter- ests, had the Government been so minded. It wasn’t, and the appoint- ment has gone elsewhere.

Brig. Price had stated that he was willing to continue in his duties, but his characteristic comment on learning that he had been fired was: “There are no hard feelings."

To cushion the shock, Ottawa of- ficials were quoted as saying: "It might have been embarrassing to him to have served through the special session, th 11 s encouraging his chances of the fifth committee chairmanship, only to be dropped without adequate explanation before the fall.” Wasn't that nice of them!

But It is obvious—isn’t it?— that the embarrassment would have been the Government’s, not Brig. Price’s. had it waited until this honor was bestowed upon him by the world council of nations be- fore giving him the sack.

A Growing Problem

In an arresting article on the unemployment problem, the Financ- ial Post notes that the growth in Canada‘s teenage population today is 18 times that of the annual aver- age teenage increases between the years 1935-55. The teenage popula- tion is increasing at about 90,000 per year today, as compared to 5.000 during the period mentioned.

The campaign for more and more education is having the effect of keeping more teenagers in school than four or more years ago, but this will not prevent the eventual “explosion” of teenagers in search of jobs. Last summer, more than a million of them were looking for work, as compared to some 750,000 in 1958.

Until at least 1966, Canada will have to create 175,000 new jobs per year if it hopes to pare down un- employment and cope with the teen- age influx. According to the Toronto financial paper, if we can do no better than during the past four years—500,000 new jobs—unem- ployment will be at a rate of some eight percent. If, on the other hand, 800,000 new jobs are created. we may look forward to an un- employment rate of four percent. This emphasizes the need for an all-out approach to the problem. if it is not to get worse In the next few years.

Background Music

A news release from Japan In- forms us that, in Japan’s up-to-date Kanazawa University Hospital, the traditional tense hush of the sur- gical operating room has been re- placed by the soft tones of soothing music. Taking their cue from in- dustrialists using music to boost workers' productivity and farmers boosting milch cows’ output, the hospital staff has performed more than 70 operations under "musical conditions."

Some patients, it appears, suf- fered weakened body processes when they had to be completely anaes- thetized during operations. but this problem has been eliminated by the combination of local anesthetics and music. It has to be “soothing” music, of c ou rse; otherwise who knows what might happen?

EDITORIAL NOTE

Detailed figures of the April 8 federal election show, as was ex- pected, that. the highest percentage of voters in all Canada's history cast their ballots. These 7,900,838 ballots represented 80 per cent of all the eligible voters in the country, a higher percentage than ever be- fore went to the polls.

OTTAWA REPORT by

British Example Of‘PIannecI Expansion

LONDON. ENGLAND: T h e I recent opening of a new autumn-i bile factory near Glasgow, Scot- ‘ land. suggests steps which would ’ also help Canada. ;

When a group of top business-, men and other community lead- ers gathered for the official un- veiling of the new "Imp" mini- car, marking the opening of the new factory of Rootes Motors Ltd. at Linwood, the prosperity of Britain was given four pow- erful boosts.

First, the new factory will bring 5.000 new jobs and a whole 11 e w community to Scotl a n d. which currently suffers double the unemployment rate record- ed in England. Second, this fac- tory was located in an undevel- oped area. rather than in pros- perous but overcrowded south-,- east England, at the direction of ‘ the government. i

Third, the novel "Imp" cant priced at $1,260 plus $2.64 tax. of- fers tomorrow‘s design at yes- terday's price; this coupled with . its minimum~service provision is bringing easier motoring to ; Britons. And fourth. when the‘ “Imp” rolls off the production lines at the planned rate of 3;. 000 cars per week. it will earn dollars and other foreign cur-l mncies for Britain in world markets in competition with oth- er mini-cars also with rear- ; mounted engines such as up to ; now have been the monopoly of ' Germany, France a n d Italy

Somehow the king and queen have humanized one of the most rigid courts in Europe. Fabiola is Belgium's first queen to re- fuse to appoint a lady-in-walt- 113.

The jinx that hung over the monarchy has been banished. Baudouln had a tragic child- hood, shadowed by the death of his grandfather Albert and by the motor-car accident that killed his mother, the beloved Queen Astrid. Exile and con- troversy stalked the family.

shy, bespectacled youth, worshipping his glamorous father, Baudouin mounted the throne hesitantly. Now he and Fabiola are a popular pair, and the once wobbly monarchy has become the most cohesive factor in a country in which Walloon and Fleming are divided over language and religion.

A GOOD TEAM

French papers say Baudouin and Fabiola are “more a team than a couple." Yet the 34-year- old queen had no easy road to popularity. As one of six chil- dren of an aristocratic and wealthy Spanish family. the for- mer Dona Fabiola de Mora y Aragon was known as a deeply religious person. She had to overcome much suspicion Belgium's anticlerical circles.

The success that was to Fablola's was foreshadowed for

Work Obsession Has Drawbacks

By Dr. Theodore R. Vaa belles AMERICAN society praises and rewards competitive. ting-ahead behavior. As a con- sequence, stress and overwork are much discussed, particular- ly their relationship to heart at- tacks, high blood pressure, an ulcer. Hard work never kills but continued overwork may reduce the life span, especially when it leads to chronic fatkue. There is no better antidote than relaxation and sleep.

Some individuals develop an obsession about their job and pursue it with neurotic ze al. This brings financial rewards

There are other drawbacks to h a v i n g a work obsession. Many of these men and women are perfectionist: and suffer considerably when their plans fail to materialize. Disappoint- ment. along with the constant tension of competition, results in various illnesses, including ulcer and high blood pressure.
