What is the of this persist: ‘ent attempt” “to saddie the former Shaw government with having mis- represented our fiscal ‘prospects be- fore the election? Mr. Campbell must Know there is not a-word of truth in it, for he and his colleagues, in their drief presented.at the Ottawa-con- ference last month, are on record to _ the contrary.

; The Campbell government took of-

_Hice-on_July.28 last; and in its: brief |.

igo the conference, dated Sept. 14, it stated explicitly: “We have had‘ up

‘pptimism.” This was due to the’ fact that for the past two years the fed- gral-provincial continuing committee on fiscal and economic matters had been conducting an exhaustive sur- yey of fiscal requirements on the hree levels of government. In view >f these studies, said the brief, “we were quite copfident that the ulti- ‘mate: result rovide substan- ‘ial additional fiscal eee to all , provinces.” : WHEN THE BLOW FELL—It was anly within the month preceding Sept. 14 that “our hopes were Semporarily shattered” by the unof- aicial announcement that the propos- ad new formula “completely dis- gards the, basic principles of fiscal frangements necessary to assure a ®ull and adequate share in_ the Tevelopinent and use of major fiscal Resources. ” That’s what: the brief ” Jays; and that would be weeks after ‘fhe Conservatives vacated office, wouldn't it? As we pointed out- before in this connection, if there is any blame for concealing the news of our Shattered hopes before it was divulg- ed at the September conference, Mr. Campbell arid. ~his colleagues must be held responsible. Why, in the face of such evidence, do t they. accuse the Shaw government and not their own

Why cannot they forget partisan politics for a week at least, and get on with the job that has taken them to the federal capital? Two years of labor. by- their predecessors have gone into the preparation of the convincing arguments they have at their disposal for obtaining a better fiscal deal for this province. Let them

be thankful they are so well armed

with the ammunition thus provided for them, and concentrate on using it to the+best: advantage. -

N.B. Competition

It is interesting to notg, -in con+ nection with the provincial tourist department's recently announced program for rural and urban beau- tification, that New Brunswick- is embarking on: a similar objective, and is making it a key factor in its Centennial Year: planning. This should spur us to greater, efforts on our own behalf. If other. provinces ‘ should get into the race, so much the better, for in a competition of this kind, there are no losers,

In New Brunswick they've formed a provincial committee to head up the drive, and every town and city is-invited,to_participate in-a beautifi-_ cation seniinar. scheduled for Fred- ericton on Nov.9, and billed as being ‘the first stich function to be held in Canada.

One feature of the cleanup opera- tion is that it is not a shared cost program with money coming to those willing to expend elbow grenee, 08 on neater homes and properties. The appeal is to civic pride and a desire to beautify the province for the na-

Well,-we should lose no time in getting our own community planning under way, and: ‘making it at example=

to all Canada of what a real beautifi- cation program can achieve!

~Needs-New-Status-—---

It is not surprising, suggests the London Free Press, that Mr Justice Montpetit’s inquiry into post office working conditions found such a failure in communications between management and employees. For years the post office department has

CABINET CHANGES Parliament Hill is buzzing with reports of an imminent chake-up, not just a reshuffle, within the Cabinet. Justice Min- ister Cardin wants to resign, and ~eeeks an appo' mt as ambas- sador. Former Justice Minister Guy Favreau wants resign and be appointed to a vacancy as Judge on the Quebec Super- for Court. Fisheries Minister Hedard Robichaud has his eyes set on a New Brunswick vacancy ‘fn the Senate. This would opén the way for Maurice’ Lamontag-~ ne to return to the cabinet. The other Quebec vacancy should de- eervedly go to Bryce Maskasey, former chairman of the Liberal caucus; he might be blocked un- fairly and unreasonably by the archaic concept that French- Canadian blood rather than ab- ility is the qualification for a Quebec cabinet. appointment.
