Dief, Dalt & Ontario

According to Mr. Diefenbaker, all this talk about “reassessment of. leadership” in the Conservative party -is poppycock. There_is a reassessment every time a’ party convention pas- ses a resolution of confidence in its leader, and that has been customary procedure for some time now. So it would seem that national Tory Presi- dent Dalton Camp is bursing through an open door in ‘his-demand for this -kind of thing.

This, of course, isn’t quite what- Mr. Camp has in mind. His trouble is that he doesn’t seem able to put into words what he really is up to. He talks about it enough, but it’s hard to pin him down. Perhaps that’s

what Dief, in-his latest comment o the subject, was trying to od In the meantime, and asa prelude

to the national convention starting - two weeks later in Ottawa, the Ont- ario Conservatives are holding their annual convention in Toronto start- ing Oct. 30. Forces trying to get the Ottawa convention to reappraise Mr. Diefenbaker’s leadership (in the critical, not the complimentary, sense) would go there with excellent credentials if they could get the big- gest of the provincial parties to back

Dissninn ar three-day convention as a tribute to Premier Robarts, who .

celebrates five years as premier on Nov. 8. The provincial party almost certainly faces a general election next year,.and has nothing to gain from getting involved in the public _linen-washing over Mr. Diefenbaker. Any condemnation of the national leader from the Ontario meeting would inevitably be interpreted as coming from Mr. Robarts,-and what would that do to his own chances 6f becoming Dief’s successor? © . - In any case, it is felt that the issue would stir up bitterness that would hurt the provincial party’s image. So the Conservatives’ key resolutions committee has decided not to for- ward any resolutions on the national leadership to the provincial meeting and rule out of order any attempt to put similar ones from the’ floor.

It is noted as significant that Mr. Camp has been carrying his message mainly outside Ontario. Strange, too, when you come to think of it; for it was the big party bosses in that weal- thy. province whose defection caused Dief-so-much_trouble when. he was prime minister, and paved the way to - his government’s defeat. The “Estab- lishment” gents regarded him as-a ‘renegade from Tory protectionist principles, and resented his free- wheeling Western ways. Probably they still do. But evidently they don’t want to.-take the onus of pulling the rug from under him the second time.

The Manila Summit

President Johnson -was_ reported to be resting at a seaside resort in Thailand yesterday after the Manila summit talks and his whirlwind visit to U.S. troops in South Vietnam. In- evitably the noise and drama of this,

"his first jetborne overseas mission in

diplomacy, has aroused some unwar- ranted expectations and unwanted pressures. But the conference ap- peared to go pretty well according to schedule, with a formula for peace contained in the final communique,

‘backed up by a reaffirmation of

allied determination to maintain the present effort “as firmly and as long

as may be necessary, in close con- |

sultation among ourselves until the aggression is ended.” >

The communique held out no pros- pect for an early negotiated ment, the summit’s only proposal to Hanoi and to the Viet Cong being the

ADE,

of allied troops within six months if the North pulled back its troops, halted infiltration and reduced the

sign of taking any such steps, or of ' giving them consideration.

However, this get-together of the allies fighting with the U.S. and South Vietnam may have served ‘a useful objective. .Their commitments to the war have been made for two. purposes: to keep Asian Communism at bay and confined to its present .‘ boundaries, and thus to avoid direct conflict in their own’ countries; also as a form- of insurance—to make sure that the United States will offer aid in future if any.of them are threat- ened ds South Vietnam is today.

Koreans have made by far the largest contribution of fighting men—about 45,000. Thailand has sent’only a few transport planes and 39 military men,

soil for five major air bases from which most of the U.S. Air Force bombing raids on North Vietnam and Eastern Laos are mounted. Australia has_ contributed 4,500 crack. jungle

’ rilla troops in the area. New Zea- land’s contribution, largely token in nature, consists of an artillery bat-

“tery and 160 men who are highly professional. The Philippines have sent a civic action group made up of 1,000 military engineers and other

security troops. With the exception of the South

more onerous, especially in this At- lantic area with its limited tax poten-— tial, and where the need for expan- sion is certainly as great as it is on the higher educational level: The present setup has resulted in differ-

. ent educational standards across the

country, which is the very antithesis of what a Confederation partnership involves.

Pending a constitutional change that will remedy this situation, there is need for a reorganization of the content of our school curriculum along more efficient lines. This, in- deed, is what has now been proposed in New Brunswick. The program, as , announced by Education Minister/ W.W. Meldrun, is to be implemented gradually, piloted by experimental in- struction already under way at Fred- ericton, Oronocto and Bathurst. The switch-over is not expected to take

objective, the provision of ‘‘as much. education to each student attending N.B. schools as_ the student ean " reasonably absorb.”

- Children, under this scheme, would progress at their own in- dividual rate of learning. The grade system would be dispensed with. In elementary schools there would be “opportunity classes” for those not able to complete the regular program in a reasonable number of years. In junior high schools, instruction would be based on the principle of continu-

ular program and a modified one for pupils who find it hard to advance under the regular program. Junior. high school students would complete the course in three or four years, de- pending on individual ability. The senior high school program would be based on the principle of “subject in- formation.” - There would be _ in- dividual timetables, with broader and more flexible agendas. There would be four types of courses taking into account difference in students of “-yarying abilities and interests. Possibly a similar program, with modifications, could be adopted suc- cessfully in this province. At-any rate, we shall have reason to follow’ the results in New Brunswick . with

ONE-TWO PUNCH

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson — Groceteria Shelves Being Evaluated

The big ring in Parliament Hill’s circus in recent days has been the inappropriately- named Consumer Credit committee of the Senate and House of C o m- mons. To its°12 senators and 24 MPs has been delegated the re- sponsibility of examing “trends in the cost of living, and

_factors which may have contri-

buted-to recent changes\in it.”~.|

. The widespread housewives’ boycott of groceterias has focus- -ged_attention..on.one.-constituent in living costs, namely food prices. .

Food accounts for over one- quarter of our Consumer Price Index: The average Canadian consumer is assumed to spend on food 27 cents of every dollar

ranking after household opera tion which absorbs 32 cents in every dollar. Then follow trans- portation at 12 cents;. clothing at 11 cents; health and personal cate at seven cents; tobacco and alcohol. at six cents; and recreation at five cents.

ARE DBS FIGURES REAL

I compared the latest avail- able Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics figures with the food prices

_currently_ruling in two typical

groceterias in Ottawa which, after Montreal, is Canada’s cost- liest city for food purchases.

DBS prices butter at 67 cents per pound; in Ottawa I found it priced at 70 cents, or on a “‘spe- cial’ at 65 cents Fresh milk is listed by DBS at 27.2 cents per quart; cash and carry in Ottawa it is 28 cents in a one-quart con- tainer— or staggeringly lower at 17% cents per quart in a. four-

quart crock.

DBS prices bread at 19.3 cents for a 1 pound loaf; that matches Ottawa. It says cornflakes are 23 cents for an eight-ounce pac- kage. In Ottawa the price var- fes, depending whether you want gimmicks in the package. Puf- fed wheat, on the other hand, of-

“fers surprises: it costs 21 cenfs_

for four ounces. That is the amount of raw wheat for which the farmer receives just. over half a cent, say % of a cent.

A good exercise for the price committee would be. to trace quarter pound of wheat from its Saskatchewan origin to its retail. outlet, to discover where and why its price is multiplied more than 33 times, or from 5-8 cents ~ to 21 cents.

This of course raises a big point: does the’ housewife want or need abrightly colored pack- age, filled with lucky dip items in addition to the cereal If she, as one grocteria executive told the committee, seeking romance and excitement on the groceter- ja shelves or is she merely’

A new theatre of heavy fight- ing in the Volokolamsk sector, about 55 miles northwest of Mos- | cow and about midway between the Kalinin and Mozhoisk sec- tors, was reported.

John D. Konkin, a farmer - businessman and former mayor of. Kamsack, Saskatchewan,’ took his place in the sun for a few minutes at the recent Liberal party national conference in Ot-

speech, an out-of-order interlude when--the-meeting was. discuss- ing a national oil policy.

“T. have been sitting here for two days,’’ Mr. Konkin said, “and right*now I don’t know what you are talking about. Aft- er coming: 2,500 miles to this meeting, I’m going to insist: on being heard.”

It seems that at every turn there are demands on govern- ments to provide ‘‘something for nothing” without any retard for the consequences or how all this free stuff is to be paid for. Most of the demands are coming from younger people who have not yet contributed anything to the country but expect a great deal from it ‘at no cost to them-

President Kenneth Kaunda of. Zambia, scheduled to a North American visit next month, may well hope to clinch backing for a new 1,000 - mile African railway.

Kaunda plans to address the United Nations General Assem- bly in New York before having. talks with Prime Minister Pear- son in Ottawa Nov. 17. He also hopes to see President Johnson in Washington.

His trip follows a report that a survey recommen a £126.- 000,000'-($378,000,000) rail line be- tween Zambia and the sea at ’ Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, is be- ing considered by several coun- tries. Britain and ‘Canada’ ‘started the survey a year ago following reports that China was interested. in moving in on. the project.

The International B ank for.

Recon tion and Develop- ment against the rail ven- ture last%ear—suggesting high-

way improvement instead—but Kaunda apparently feels the sur- vey gives him new ammunition for argument.

SEEK ROUTE TO SEA. 7

Purpose of the railway is to give land - locked Zambia ac- cess to the Indian Ocean for her rich copper exports through friendly “territory: The=present route is through write-suprema- cist Rhodesia and Portuguese Mozambique.

Kaunda thus has many topics to discuss at the UN, Washing. ton and Ottawa besides the rail- | way, but probably none of more long-term. importance. _-

A year ago he told a visiting Canadian reporter:

“To Tanzania and Zambia this line is vital—tt must be built.”

The railway . vbviou will take some years to build and its importance would indicate that even a political solution of :the Rhodesian affair would not “solve Zambia's problems, Zam- bia still would need the inde- pendent rail link to the sea tor economic emancipation. _CANADA’S FRIEND

Kaunda, 42, the man who brought Negro nationalism to the Zambezi River, is probably . one of Canada’s warmest friends in Africa and ‘has fre- quently . expressed thanks for Canadian aid, notably Canada’s . part in an oil airlift because of the Rhodesian trouble.

The problems of Zambia,..an Alberta-sized country of |3,600,- 000 including 71,000 whites, have significance far-beyond-Africa’s shores since it is the second- biggest copper producer in’ the non-Communist world.
