sharing arrangements, it says, may mean a partial return to the prin- ciples of the early postwar years. This is involved in the abandon- ment of the principle of conditional shared-cost programs, which was clearly spelled out by Ottawa in its proposals at the -federal-provincial conference last July.. If 1970, as in- dicated, sees the end of this program to which Ottawa is now contributing about $1 billion a year, the prov- irices will have to take full control_of ‘nearly half the federal government’s most important fiscal. instrument—

municipalities raise as much money as Ottawa and account for-80 per cent of all capital expenditures by gov- emnments. Unless responsibility. for fighting recession or inflation is to bé placed elsewhere—and no one has suggested such a course—it is ob- -vious that somehow the federal gov- etnment must acquire additional fis- cal power:. One suggested solution lies in a partial return to the old tax sharing arrangements: These were based on provincial fiscal need and were largely abandoned when feder- al tax abatements and equalization gtants were introduced in 1956, re- placing the needs test with a formula tied solely to. the yield of standard _taxes within the provinces.

In any case, a new equalization formula that wilt make national planning effective in all regions must

be worked out this year. Any sub- stantial change, says the Financial

Times article, will depend largely on

the attitude~of the English-speaking ~

' provinces and their restraint in put-

ting further pressures on Ottawa, and

on the ability of Finance Minister- Sharp to be “tough” without arousing

the hostilities which marked the last three conferences. Perhaps a

hopeful harbinger can be detected in recent speeches by Premier Robarts

Industrial interest in higher educa- tion finally caught hold in England. Businessmen donated £ 30,000 ($84,- 000) for a reading room.

The ceremonies of opening day are always attended by many out-of-town visitors, mostly the families and friends of senators and MPs, Thus Heber Smith of Barrie was accompanied by his wife Mary; Alf Hales of Guelph brought his wife, Mary, to her hometown, while their youngest son_David was only a few miles.

The question of hunting rights

people are

memoried

The Supreme Court of Canada recently ruled that under an 1854 contract, members of the Saale- quun Indian band on Vancouver Island acquired perpetual ‘‘an- cestral hunting and fishing rights’’ on their former’ tribal lands. - , eos

The tribe retained the rights when it eold its thousands of ac- res of land to the Hudson's Bay Company for the grand total of 636 white. blankets, 12 blue blan- kets and 20 “inferior blankets” —.a price which brings to mind the ain driven by those®

for fourteen doHars.

The court ruled that Indians couldn't be prosecuted for hunt- ing ‘‘out of season,”’ for the sim- ple reason that the law gave them a perpetual open season. This in turn led many whites to wonder angrily how long it would be before the bloodthirsty natives killed off all the game on the southern part of the island, and caught all the fish.

History’is full of little ironies. Who massacred the buffalo, ex- terminated._the._passenger__pi- geon, depleted the fur seal, pra- irie chicken and beaver, pollut- ted the streams and stripped the forests bare?

It wasn’t the Indians-— ‘they were the first conservationists.

So you know who that leaves.

As the United States has <be- come more deeply irivolved in war in Southeast Asia, it has be- come increasingly worried over | the prospect of having to cattry its military burden almost alone.
