Monnet Disillusioned

Of the many factors entering into the indecisive results of the French presidential election on Sunday, the most significant to outsiders was the~ ‘role played by a man who was not a candidate for any of the rival parties but who, next to General de Gaulle himself, is France's best-known fig- ure throughout Europe and the world ai large. This was Jean Monnet, who is regarded as the chief architect of

“the European Economie Community (Common Market.) He also was the leading designer of the European Coal and Steel Community which was‘a forerunner of the bigger Com- mon Market.

Mr. Monnet entered the field of supranational planning after having served as chief economic planner for

' France in the days of the Fourth Re- public. He now is president of the Action Committee for the United States of Europe. In this campaign he broke a long record of not ‘taking sides in French politics by . stating publicly that he would not vote for de Gaulle but would vote instead for Jean Lecanuet, the candidate of the Popular Republican Movement, a moderately conservative Roman Catholic party. ~

“We can no longer have any

{Husions about the Gaullist regime,”

Monnet declared in his preelection

statement. “It engages us in the out- dated and dangerous path of nation- alism, inevitably encouraging the re- birth of nationalism in other coun- tries, particularly Germany.”

Even with this support, Lecanuet

*} ~The -Monnet- move. was. dramati- eally timed. It focusted attention on what -was perhaps the weakest-point in the Gaullist position—the perplex- ify and anxiety that many French ‘voters felt about President de Gaulle’s attitude toward the Common Mar- ket. Also, Lecanuet had come out strongly for a politically -united Burope as first conceived by the writ- ers of the Treaty of Rome, on which Common Market principles are bas- ed. ce ‘ Jt is recalled than in 1958 Mon- net voted for the Constitution of the Fifth Republic, which in those unus- ual circumstances amounted to a vote for President de Gaulle. Now the two men have reached the part- fag of the ways, with consequences which’ could be of concern not only to France, but to Europe and the free world generally.

: Cause For Concern

| A report prepared for the Ontario government warns that radioactive contamination trickling uncontrollab- ly from the Eliot Lake watershed into the Great Lakes has become a seri- ous menace. Unless rapid steps are taken to improve the present methods of control in the area, contamination will continue in a geometrical -pro- gression. Lake Huron particularly is threatened. After a few decades, there will be an excess amount of radiation in this lake, and it will stay there. ; ' But this is not the whole story. Pip to American éngineers, all the contaminated with a flow of pollut- ants from dozens of cities. A vast, $14 million seven-year program has been daunched for cleaning them up. But it js doubtful if this. will be any- -thing fie enough.

Great Lakes have already been

Orfe authority says +

plant life. Lakes Superior, Huron, and Ontario are the cleanest, yet engin- eers have measured the flow of wastes from Superior into Huron in the hundreds of million: gallons a year. Lake Ontario is the final re- pository for all the water and pol- lution of the four other lakes. It is not unusual for tourists at Niagara Falls to smell the stench of the sew- age and paper-mill wastes flowing over the falls.

Three conferences were held ear- lier this year—in Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland—to get the coopera-

tion ‘of industry in the big clean-up

job that has to be done. Required, too, will be the full cooperation of government and industry in this country if it is to be done properly.

The Great Lakes contain some 95,000 square miles of water—a small, irregular ocean. They con- stitute the largest reservoir in the world, and supply 20 per cent of the world’s fresh water. Man’s prod- igality has rarely been demonstrat- ed more glaringly than in the man- ner in which he has allowed this great natural resource to deteriorate. Whatever the cost, the mistake will have to be rectified.

A Prize Boner

One country which has stood solid- ly behind the’ U.S. administration in its Viet Nam policy is Australia. The Australians themselves have been in the fight with 1,600 troops—1,000 of them in active combat—for several months. thought, therefore, of the faux pas made by Senator Fulbright, chair- man of the U.S. Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee; when he visited there recently?

When the senator was met by the press on his arrival in Sydney, he said he did not know that Australia had any troops in Viet Nam, and ask-

| ed, innocently, now many were serv- ing. This brought an appropriate re-

tort from Sir William Yeo, president of the Returned Soldiers League of Australia. William said, “that the rest of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

+-are-not—as- ill-advised as their chair-

*

man. If they are, God help the Yanks, us and the rest of the world!” It is to be hoped, in the interests of both countries, that this unfortun- ‘ate incident will be soon forgotten. It is not likely, however, that Senator Fulbright will forget the private dres- sing-down he'll receive at Washington for his ineptitude in the matter.

Barnyard Reform “British pigs,” says an exchange,

and turkeys roomier

What's all this about? It’s a re-_ action, it seems, to the overemphasis |

placed. in recent. years on mass _pro- duction on the British food front. The system forced such uniformity and restrictions on the living quart- ers of British food animals that a cry of “cruelty” went up around the -country. Now, a special parliament- ary committee has come to the res- cue with a report. Legislation is ex- pected to follow. New minimum standards for cages, boxes, pens, and animal houses will be spelled out. And further legistation wilt probably outlaw other practices, considered cruel. Es ; Many in Britain, it is reported, would like to see all the intensive methods of animal] rearing—often called “factory farming’—complete- ly outlawed. But surely. it will be possible to retain the advantageous

| features of the system without going

that far. There is scope here for the

British genius for compromise which |

has been so fruitful of results er fields.

Canada, our sociologists claim,

Canada, on the contrary, en- courages immigrants to retain their non-conformity in customs, traditions, language and religion. The texture of our national life is enriched by our adoption of usages from the cultures of va- rious immigrant- groups. Yet in contrast the federal govern- ment gives official stamp to its belief that Canada is a melting pot, capable of dissolving and in fact absorbing all old country backgrounds except two.

| HEALTH OFFICER REPLIES | Sir,—Reverend W.J. Enright wishes to know the explanation for more dentists in a given area after fluoridation. The answer is quite simple—more money available and a gfeater demand for better teeth.

FARM. ACCOUNTING

Sir;— Shortly, there will be an increased demand for help by farmers in-how.to maintain “farm records. This will come about as a result of the Pension Plan going into effect next year. I understand the deductions for the plan will be based on yearly earnings, as revealed by income tax returns. i

I would suggest instructions be given by the agriculture ‘ec- onomists through a series of te- levision broadcasts to show our farmers step by step the basic principles of taking inventory. entering farm receipts ana- lyzing sample i There should also. be included in | guch broadcasts details of the | use.of farm records for income

Sir,—Maybe the minister of Highways has his reasons for not wanting. studded tires on Prince Edward Island roads, but I am quite sure he wouldn't mind what enyone used on the half mile of road between Whea- | tley River and ‘Hunter River, or |maybe he forgets there are _ still a few humans beings living | on this road. t Two miles of this road were | paved last summer. and why the other small piece was left only the minister and his men know.
