60th parallel. The Ontario-Quepec border of the bay would be roughly the 80th degree of longitude, which is a few miles west of the Ontario- Quebec border. The federal govern- ment would still own the bay north of the 60th parallel, with the excep- tion of whatever territory Quebec might suceed in acquiring under separate negotiations. :

Estimates are that Manitoba would get 45,000 square miles of the bay; Ontario 55.000, and Quebec 155,000, including the more northerly terri- tory she seeks. The federal govern-

' ment, apparently, would continue to

Prairie farmers. For transportation

and grain-handling workers in the East as well, since all of the new-con- tract wheat is to be shipped through St. Lawrence and Atlantic ports. It will be one of the biggest jobs ever undertaken in the transportation his- tory of this area. The problem will be to handle it expeditiously between now and next July, without detriment to other business,

By way of contrast, virtually no grain ships are sailing from Vancou- ver, which prides itself on being the busiest grain port in the world. More than 4,000 boxcars loaded with al- most 7 million bushels of grain choke railway yards in British Columbia and sidings as far east as Calgary and Edmonton. More cars are on oth- er Prairie sidings. Farmers, with visions of bumper crops, have ex- pressed concern about lack of stor- age facilities. This is due to a grain- handling strike involving five elevat- ors companies which failed to reach agreement on a new contract.

According to Trade Minister Sharp, the Vancouver tieup was not responsible for the Russian contract being shipped eastward, since the West Coast already has'enough com- mitments for shipments in the current year to be considered “sold out.” But of course it was the strike which caused these commitments to pile up as they have done. Prime Minister Pearson has termed the situation there a national emergency. ‘It was indicated last evening that a form of

settlement_had_heen_accepted. But |

the railwavs point out that it will take weeks to free the cars after the strike is over. : It seems.that despite the reported support of the Canadian wheat board, “the Manitoba port of Churchill was bypassed in this deal. The Russians, in a contract of this kind;~‘have a

Meanwhile. across the line, the presence of a Soviet trade delegation anada has caught the attention of American wheat belt politicians, who are mounting new attacks on the laws that force American wheat export-

ers to-stand-by-helplessly_while Can. —+-

ada and other allies win all the con- tracts for wheat sales in Communist ‘countries. This “foolish restriction,”

‘as one senator calls it, was a com- merce department sop to.the mili- tant anti-Red sentiments of maritime industry labor leaders.

Ours is an open-door wheat sale policy, and ‘we make no bones about it. We can’t see where the feeding of hungry people anywhere is going to injure the cause of world peace and security. Quite the contrary, in-

deed. -A- bumper crop market-has-

been assured to Canadian growers by this new deal, nor need we shed any

crocodile tears-over the fact that it’

is on an all-cash sale basis, too. All we

havé to worry about now is delivering~

t'e goods through our Eastern ports. Let’s hope there will be no hitch there, for the sake of all concerned.

All Nice And Cozy

It was at the free-and-easy prem: fer’s conference at Winnipeg the oth- er day—at the breakfast table, ac- cording to press report&—that Prem- iers Lesage, Robarts and Roblin agreed on how to extend the territory of their respective provinces into Hudson Bay, and to make a formal proposal to Ottawa on the matter—a proposal which Prime Minister Pear- son has hastened to say will be wel- comed. —

Just last week, according to the Ottawa Journ- al, the oceanographic vessel ‘‘Hud- son” entered the hay to begin stud: ies. A coincidence? Perhaps. Drill- ing is expected to give clues to the 10,000 foot sediment-layer on the bottom. This will in turn suggest the chances of finding valuable oil de- posits, commonly found in thick sedi- ment,

The premiers in conference at Winnipeg were there mainly to talk about pensions and education. But as The Journal says, ‘this side agree- ment over breakfast by Messrs. Rob- arts, Lesage and Roblin could have the greatest long term effect. The three provinces will doubtless come to bless their good fortune in ~ being located next ‘to Hudson Ray, bleak and inhospitable as it now seems.”

Yes, indeed! Gyod fortune, too, in having such a pull at Ottawa as to have their claims for offshore miner- al wealth in this coastal water area put on a better basis than the claims of the Atlantic Provinces and B.C. over their coastal water areas. It’s not at the breakfast table that the Prime Minister insists on having this matter disposed of, he says, but in the courts.-

there is no issue in dispute. Hudson Bay has been owned by the Dominion ‘of Canada--that is, the people of all

Canada—since it was acquired from ‘|

the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1869. Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario have no-more-claim-on-it-than-any- other province. To parcel it out in the manner proposed has no warrant whatever. The welcome ,which Mr. Pearson has extended to the idea can be explained only on the ground that he feels he must at all costs keep the “hig fellows” in line, letting the devil ke the hindmost so far as the lesser fry in the Confederation. partnership is concerned.

_- Cyprus Trouble Again

~~A crisis on Cyprus threatened war in the Mediterranean some months ‘ago. Now Archbishop Makarios has

-seized-on-the-political-crisis.in-Greace—

as an excuse for creating a new one of his own in Cyprus. The Greek Cypriot legislators have extended his term as president for a year and. changed election laws so that Turkish and Greek Cypriots. will run on the, same: election rolls. An election un- der such rules would place the Greeks, with a substantial majority of

-the- population, in complete-_charge

of the island. _ This is contrary to the treaty sign-

_ed_in 1959 under which the Turkish

minority was given gurantees of a place in government and held a veto power as protection against domina- tion. Had Turkey been so disposed, it might have used the Greek politi- cal crisis as Makarios did to pressure Cyprus for its own-ends, at a time when the Greeks might find it hard to-act:_Instead, as-one-of-the garan- tors under the Cyprus treaty, it has appealed to the United Nations sec- urity council to act in the matter.

Canada has a peace-keeping force in Cyprus and is, of course, involved in maintaining good order there. It has a stake in seeing that Makar- ios’ antics are kept within bounds. It is understandable that the 1959 treaty should need amendments that will end the stalemate in government created by the mutual veto powers. of the two blocs on Cyprus; but chan- ges must come through negotiation and agreement, not through ulti- matum.

Few’ people would disagree with Ontario’s Health Minister, Dr. Matthew Dymond, that ser- vice to mental patients should ~be-included- in- the federal medi- care scheme.

Mental illness is a disease and no plan to provide treatment for any disease can be considered comprehensive unless it provid- es for all types of sickness. _

The question is whether. the cost of an inclusion would be prohibitive.
