Finance Minister's Report
Responsibility Of Rich
Is Stressed
TORONTO (CP) — The gap be- tween the “have” and “have-not” nations will widen steadily unless richer countries help raise those less fortunate to a higher stand- ard of living, Prince Philip said Monday.
Philip spoke of the Colombo Plan and lauded Canada’s contri- bation in an address to a joint
engineers’ and scientists’ lunch-|
eon at the Royal Hork Hotel,
“It has long been recognized that the wealthy individual has a, moral obligation to help those less fortunate than himself,” he said.
“The same obligation is now recognized to exist between na- tions. It is recognized that an ex- plosive situation will bly develop if the gap between the ‘have’ nations and the ‘have-not’ Bations grows too big.”
The luncheon was sponsored by the 20,000 - member Canadian Council of Professional Engineers, the 16,000 - member Engineering Institute of Canada, the Canadian , -wJtitute of Mining and Metal- “wy, the Chemical Institute “of
, remiers. Not Asked

Rain Of Ticker Tape
Greets Queen Philip
By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP) — Ticker tape
rained on Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip Monday for the second time during the Royal Tour.
The crowds were not as heavy as the throngs that shouted in- formal greetings to the royal couple in Montreal last week but the tape, showering from the com creteembankments of Bay Street, was as thick. ~
Police estimated that some 200,000 persons saw the Queen and Philip during a rapid round of activities. There probably
would have been more but for|”
the continuing hot and sticky ‘weather.
Some 26 spectators, waiting to see the Queen at City Hall, fainted in the 9 - degree heat, Four soldiers and a commission-
| aire, helping keep the crowd ef
10,000 in check also coHapsed. GUARD DROPPED ‘
The first man to drop was a red - coated, bearskin - wearing member of the Royal Canadian Regiment guard of honor who fell to the pavement at the Queen Elizabeth docks even before the Queen stepped from the royal yacht Britannia to begin the day. A member of the band at the wa- terfront also toppled over.
A stiff breeze blowing off Lake Ontario provided some measure of relief at times but for the most part the patient crowds were un- comfortable and there were many expressions of wonder at the fact the Queen and Philip managed to look so unruffled,
After disembarking from the Britannia, the visitors were driven through a dusty, rundown section of waterfront to a jewel- like park where 70 crippled chil- dren waited for them, their wheelchairs set in the shade of three bushy elm trees.
Spectators behind rope barriers pushed forward to get a look at the Queen and some children
jeried out as they were crushed
against the barrier. From there the royal motor-

Although spectators were too
closely packed to gain any relief from the wind, the Queen felt its full blast on the dais.
