Calls For Action
There seems no question but that the stage is heing set for a nation: wide railway strike and the pressure in
the strike actually starts, The guess- ing is that it—will be’ called in the Sept. 1-6 period, possibly even before that, on Aug. 29. A decision is expect- ed to be made at a conference of unions in Montreal on Monday. In the meantime, the situation calls . for something ‘philosophic detachment with which Prime Minister Pearson and his col-. leagues appear to be viewing their responsibilities. »
Mr. Pearson may be assuming that he will have a week's notice of strike
action. and can circumvent it by an
quick “call to the MPs. But this is z= dangerous assumption; and whiy,
any case, should the Prime euae be hesitant about indicating what his intentions are ,in the matter? _. government knows, and the railways and unions know, that. the Canadian économy cannot stand a rail strike . and that parliamentary action. under such. a threat is inevitable. The
heotiations and the conciliations that
‘fave gone on all summer, affecting Many rail unions, have been well | described as sé much shadow boxing. © t has ‘heen established by precedent
nder both Liberal and Conservative | Crease of more than 3 per- cent a Cacunis
governments that Parliament must step in, by judicial process if neces- gary, rather than let the economy fome to a standstill.
* In this case it was the government {tself which caused the present dif- ficulty by its intervention in the Que- bec longshoremen‘s and seaway workers’ dispute, thus setting the pat- térn of extravagant wage settlements. This was what caused railway
~ workers to raise their sights and de-
mand similar concessions which, if granted, would cost the railways an estimated $125 million a year and in- érease the cost of nearly all consumer goods because they travel, at some point, <by rail. The government, urg- ing restraint on everybody else, has drawn the opposite pattern: and con- éciousness of its valnerability on this. hoint may well be a contributing fac- ae in its hesitancy to take action. ' But action it must take, very shortly, and the sooner the better if the situ- ation is to be kept from getting en- tirely out of hand.
From Small Beginnings
Several years ago we had occasion to remark that our Provincial Exhibi- tion and Old Home Week, then in progress, was “énjoying the most successful year of its history.’’ That was very true, but what is most en- couraging is that since that time suc- recss has been piled upon success. Attendance records have soared Bteadily, and so has the fame of the Exhibition’s show rings, racetrack and midway. which are “among the best attractions of their kind in east- ern Canada.
__On_its present s site the big date is 76 ears old, and that’s age for any provincial institution. But
Confederation Memorial how stand, and it was in that year that the government of the Island btepped into the picture. It offered two pounds for the best carcass of ox
eat shown, and one pound for the: best beef carcass. The prize winners
tipped the scales at 658 Ibs. and 394 .
Ibs. respectively.
i But that wasn't really ‘the bigin- ning: ** few years earlier. in 1820, ivhat is believed’ to be the first ex. hibition of Island products was held pt Crapaud,. where the inhabitants, '

Charlottetown were open to competition from ‘all parts of the province and. until 18 were held under the auspices of the Royal Agricultural Society. After that ‘they were continu under a board of
commissioners appointed_py the gov- °.
ernment. It was in 1888 that Judge Hensley, chairman of the board, an- nounceé that a group of citizens had been incorporated: riders the name of the Charlottetown .Driving Park and Provincial Exhibition Associa- tion, and that they had purchased the property known as the Kensing- ton grounds “upon which it is con- templated to erect large exhibition buildings in the near future, with a

view..to.making ample provision for . the growing requirements of the: province.” The Legislature in the same year voted an annual subsidy
of $2,000.-The driving park was made
ready for races in the autumn of 1889, and the exhibition buildings were ready for the show in 1890.
It's a far crv from those early days to the big crowds and exciting events at Exhibition grounds this week, and
to this morning's mammoth “Gold Cup and Saucer Parade, with its bevy of beautiful girls, gorgeous
floats: and over~ 400 participating *
bandsmen.-But great oaks from little acorns grow, and that’s how it all’ ‘started. Too bad the old timers, to whose. vision and enterprise we are indepted for launching our big fair movement, couldn't be with us: on this occasion!
Erhard’s Warning.
Now it's. West Germanys'that {fs worrying about.its economic stability, and- causing Chancellor Erhard to sound off as if he were British Prime Minister Wilson. “If we let things
“drift.” he warned the other day, “we |
‘will have a wages freeze. a prices ‘freeze; indeed, even partial balance of payments control.”
-_What disturbs. Erhard is the fact that since. 1963 “wages have risen ‘every year by 8.5 per cent, while pro- ductivity (average output per man- - power) has risen by only 4.4’ per cent. There has been a net price in-
year—an intolerable situation, the chancellor observed.
Aggravating the problem js the fragmented. character of spending by national and local governments. An estimated 3,000 different authorities are allowed to determine their own financial policies. The result is that
government spending is. not being | curbed effectively enough to -help
quell the inflationary boom. This has
- forced Erhard to seek a constitution- al change that will-insure that public’.
spending can be restricted when the economy is overheated and increased during slack periods.
“T have gradually lost faith that the people will themselves try to act responsible,” Erhard said. A sad but realistic admission-by_one of the most vigorous advocates of a free market economy.
EDITORIAL NOTES
British Prime Minister’ Wilson might have an easier time with his
wage freeze in January. e*e
In the Church of England they are
again talking about a fixed date for Easter. In the Archbishopric of York the idea is that the event be celebrat- ed on the Sunday after the second Saturday in. April. They may not do much about it, but sceptics about Eng- lish practice should note that the English do move: they are changing the coinage system from pounds, Shillings and pence to the decimal system. Perhaps what is needed more than a fixed date for Easter, however,
is fixed weather for Easter. The re-
tail trade throughout the world would
applaud such a reform! i. “ se ¢ e

AFTER BRITISH PATTERN
In 195% the then Prime Minist-
baker, set up the Public counts Committee after the pat- tern of the British Parliament whereby a Member of the Oppo- sition parfy is chairman. The committee {s very non-partisan in all its dealings,and is the arm through which the Auditor Ge- neral works. His office is. and He is responsible’ to no one other than Parliament itself. He re- ports to Parliament through what is known as the Auditor General's Report to the House of Commons for cach fiscal year entiing March 3ist. Once his re- port is tabled,.Par'iament then directs that the Public Accounts Committee study this report in its entirety and report back to the House.
The Public Accounts Commit- tee. has met twice a week since March Ist, meeting in the morn- ing, afternoon and occasionally in the evening, a total of 28 meet. ings. The Committee has the authority to call for persons, pa- pers and what-ever other infer- mation they.°may require in their investigations and study of the A. G's.report. The Audi- tor General is chief witness and sits at the right hand of the Chairman. This Session we have had the deputy ministers and other necessary officials as chief witnesses from the De- partment of Post Office, Publie Works, Transport, Northern Af- fairs, National Defence Agricul:
