Keeping Up The Farce . Another farce was perpetrated in the House of Commons last evening, in the vote on the motion to increase @id age pensions which, if carried, w6uld have meant defeat of the gov- ernment and the calling of another - @lection. Prime Minister Pearson miade this clear, as he did last week in-the case of the NDP motion. He insisted that the government would regard any defeat in the Throne debate as a vote. of no con- __ fidence, and that this would mean an

election.

. The Geccaivelives made no ene about their’motion being a non-con- fidence one, but maintained that the government, if defeated, should re-- linquiish power to them and not de- mand another appeal to the country. They were aware, of course, that there wasn’t the slightest prospect of

__the government yielding to this line ' of reasoning, or indeed of the oth eh |, Opposition parties accepting a-change- over from Liberal to Tory rule in this’ ~“¥iimner. But politics being the game -it-is, that’s the way it was played. As good a commentary as any on the subject was supplied the other day by NDP House Leader Stanley Knowles—an acknowledged expert on procedure—who said that in digging through the dusty tomes in the par- Hamentary library he had discovered numerous occasions when govern- ments were defeated but did not re-. sign. Indeed, only three times in 99 years had governments requested dis- solution as a result of defeat in the House, and only twice had it been ‘granted. ‘Mr. Knowles could find

Staggering Figures . Staggering indeed is the record- | shattering budget of $112,847 million | presented by President Johnson to — the United States Congress this week. It provides for an expenditure of $10.- | 500 million on the Viet Nam.war and | $60,500 million for national “defense, as well as vast sums for pursuing peace aims and promoting what the | president has called the ‘the Great | Society” at home.. The budget re- | flects the gigantic’growth rate of the American economy in recent years, itself-unprecedented-in-history-—— ia Particularly, of course, it reflects ~the growth rate during 1965 of 5.5 per “cent-—the highest of any major in- | dustrial land in the world. But this | was merely the latest capstone to a 1962-1965 rise. which averaged 5.2 per cent yearly. How great this gain was can be seen when it is set against a growth rate of only 2 per cent in 1961. Today, if there is any concern about: the immediate future, it is that the country might eventually find it- self with a manpower shortage. Nor should it be forgotten that this do- mestic upsurge took place: while the _U.S. was pouring billions of dollars into other-countries, both as econom- ic investment and as foreign aid.

Another man who is deeply con- cerned with Expo’s financial head- ache-is A. Maxwell Henderson, Can- | ada’s Auditor General. His annual report, expected t6 be tabled in the | Commons this week, is said to contain | sharp.criticism of the Fair’s finan- — cing. In his estimation, there is ques-

Yet they were debated very fully in committee and for 15 days in the last House.

There is no satisfaction in lis- tening to a person who merely whispers, nor is-there any plea- sure in listening to one who blares out. Surely there is a happy medium. Some may think that the louder they speak, the more goods they will sell. Bit that is not always true, It is, of course, necessaty for an auct- ioneer to do sorhe shouting. But . as a rule, it is not necessary -for the average salesman to do so.

To the general public, the moderate tone of voice is far more pleasant. :
