Mr. Dieienbaker's ViSit

Right Hon. John G. Diefenbaker’s visit here last evening was for the purpose of addressing the Prince Edward Island Progressive Conser- vative Association meeting, and it was naturally from the Consevative Itandpoint. that he dealt with the political issues of the day. He. was In excellent form, and had good reason to be pleased with the enthu- siastic ovation he received. Certain- ly it Would be surprising if It had been otlicrwise among his party followers in this Province. who have never faltered in their allegiance to “Dief the Chief."

Nor can those of other political faiths forget what is owing to Mr. Diefenbaker In his efforts on our behalf during his years of office as Prime Minister of Canada. The fiscal relief. for example, which we obtain— ed at I critical juncture under the Atlantic adjustment grants and, more particularly. his indonsation of our causeway project and under- taking to build it.

It is significant, that in Peter C. Newman’s hypercritical book, “Renegade in Power: the Diefen- baker Years," oiin one reference to Prince Edward Island appears, and this in mnnection with what Is termed “Diefenbaker’s least respon- sible. promise" about, the aforesaid causeway made in the House of Commons on April 17, 1962. This was also the reaction the. Winnipeg Free Press showed tn denouncing the causeway pledge as the. “most brazen political bribe since Confed- eration.” Similar statements appear- ed during the last federal election campaign in central and western parts of Hip country. which undoubt- edly had an effect on the voting at that time.

Obviously if it was I question of politics, Mr. lliefcnbaker would not have risked losing support, in these influential quarters for the sake of four seats In Prince Edward Island. Surely he must have believed in our causeway claims. and felt. that. they Ihoiild be implemented in the nat- ional interest. Accordingly be back- ed them up. Today they are conced- ed by all parties to be. valid, despite the uncertainty that. still exists with regard to the. planning of the undertaking.

This is as good a time as any ho recall this part of Mr. Diefen- baker’s record. and to assure him that. regardless of the views we may hold on matters of current political controversy, his name In Prince Edward Island will always be held In honor.

Wealth And Mobilin

It is somewhat staggering to note that in the world today, there

are an estimated 140 million motor ‘ vehicles. Of this total, 85 million or

60 per cent travel along the high- ways and byways of the North American continent. Six million of this total are in Canada. North America, with 9 per cent of the

‘ world's population, possesses 60 per

cent of its wheeled population, in- cluding I vastly greater proportion of trucks and high performance vehicles. The North American con- tinent. by the greatest odds, to the moat mobile community in the world.

In Canada and It can be concluded that all Canadians could be riding around at the same time if they wanted to. In impoverished China. there are some 3,104 persons for every motor vehicle on the road. “ACCording to some pink-clouded city planners,” writes Mr. Lavi— gueur, “tcday's city dwellers live in a ‘sardine' civilization deprived of

istence in pastoral bliss—car-Iess and tranquil. More detailed and ob- jective scrunity might reveal that grandfather worked longer hours.

2 and took longer to get to and from

work in spite of the fact that he probably lived within the shadow of the plant.

“He may have walked or he may have taken a tram. But he was bound

j to the environment limited by lack

of easy mobility. His personal con- tact with the world seldom extended

I beyond the. end of the local tram

line. By comparison his grandson can range far, wide and handsome,

i into vastly diversified cultural and

economic climates of Canada and

' beyond.”

However, the writer concedes

: that there are still some flies in the.

ointment. “Crawling home in bum- per-to-bumper traffic after I. hard day at the office," he says. “the Canadian businessman may well be. forgiven for some mild reservations about the social benefits of the auto-

. mobile.”

The Politician's Lot

Canadian politicians may be won- dering, with some embarrassment, whether I practice that has crept into the current presidential elec- tion campaign in the United States will find favnr In this country. That is the practice of making public the joint financial status of the candi- date and his wife. Rep. William E. Miller. the Republican candidate for vice-president, has now set. the net worth of himself and his better half at $260,730.57. He lists assets of $327,725.78 and liabilities of $66,- 995.21.

The report was prepared by certified public accountants In Mr. Miller's home town, making him third of the four top national candi- dates to make open confession of this sort. An accounting firm issued I report on President and Mrs. John- son's financial status at the direc-

- tion of the President. and Senator

Barry Goldwater's bank in Phoenix, Arizona, issued I similar statement on the Goldwaters’ financial situa- tion.

The Johnson statement put. the holdings of himself and his wife It

'$3,484,098. Senator Goldwater’s put

the family worth at approximately $l.7 million. But the report, on the President and Mrs. Johnson has been criticized by Republicans on the ground that; It listed the original purchase price, rather than the cur- rent market value of the holdings.

Yuo just can’t satisfy the curl- osity of people nowadays! If Cana- dian electors get. a taste for this kind of thing they'll be. equally insistent In ferreting out the source of every last cent of the candidate’s income. And as one gentleman attending the recent Commonwealth

ed to us In a vein of mingled levity and seriousness, that would take half the pleasure out of being in pub - life.

HEART-WARMING PICTURE

Sir,-In your edition of The Guardian on Tuesday. Scpl. 15. you had a picture. taken at the Orphanage. of t children along with the chairman of the United Fund. In all the pictures you have carried recently there has been none Io touching, so near to the heart of us 8'" as this picture of those lovely llttle children walling, hoping. long- In I Iy when someone, somewhere will take them home. Boys and girls here for no fault of their own. they did not ask to come into this world but one look at that picture would tell you they long for mom Ind dId

Surely In this land of our- there must many childless homes. where the voice of little children would bring I load of happiness; little outstretched arms to slide around your nee It numt and little forms to be tucked in for the night. little feet running home from school.

Writing as one who many years ago visited one of those homes for children. I an II). that taking one home II I bles- sing. We will never forget. I‘M years have passed Ind she has grown Into womanhood and gone on her own home. but no mat- ter where she II she will always, come back. The. happiness Im- brought no and the life we gave her are I bond of friendship that will cIrry to the grave.

So speaking from experience I would st. look It this lovely picture Ind look It It IgIln. There are enough homes to em- pty this orpIIoIge of the II darlings Ind Ilve them the homes and the loving care they crave and deserve.

Britain's Liberal Party

By Harold Morrison Canadian Press Staff Writer

Coilslanlly struggling at the edge. of the political abyss. the gallant little Liberal party ol Britain sees I faint. whlsp of ope In the crushlng election battle between the Conserva tives and the Socialists. their hope that fate and a trou- bled electorate may thrust o the Liberals the balance power In the next 630-seat Coni-

Judged against the oacx- ground of decades of political obscurity, this hope may be no

more than I mirage in the pc- I lltlcal desert The Liberals had

only seven members In this Parliament and only six In the Parliament before that-a dark and despondent summation of the party's decline from ..ie
