New City Council

The new City Council has gotten away to a good start. with some timely advice from Mayor Stewart and the appointment of a Deputy Mayor in the person of Councillor A. Walthcn Gaudet. who also heads the new committee of industrial and tourist development. The choice, we think, is an excellent one. Councillor Gaudct did :1 fine job of managing the civic centirnnial celebrations last year. and his experience 'will be of value in dealing with his commit- feels tourist promotional duties this year. In Mayor Stewart's words, this committee will be asked to work ”with imagination and vigour, and few dollars." This is putting the em- pliasis precisely where it belongs. All too often it is thought that money can do everything, and that public business especially can be dealt with adequately by simply put- ting I sum in the estimates. No big- ger mistake could be made. Without imagination in planning expendi- in executing the work, the money voted too often goes down the drain in waste and inefficiency.

The City is looking forward to a busy tourist season. and the new committee, working in conjunction with the Travel Bureau. the newly formed Convention Committee, the Merchants Association. Board of Trade and other organizations. can find lots to do that will be of value and profit to the community. It is hoped that the impetus gained from the centennial celebrations will be carried over as a permanent factor in promoting tourist activities and keeping this City and Province on the map as an ideal place both for holiday visitors and convention par- ties.

The finance, streets, public pro- perty and police committees are headed by experienced men in the persons of (Iouncillors Johnstone, McCorniac. MacDonald and Germ- ley and the new Councillors have also been given responsible duties on these and other committees, and will be expected to pull their full weight and do their own thinking. It is to be hoped also that they will work har- moniously together. for team work is just as essential as individual in- itiativc. When the two qualifica- tions come together we have the best prospects of good civic govern- ment. We do not think this homily is particularly needed by the new Council, but we offer it by way of footnote to the Mayor's wise admon- itions.

Political Hindrances

It is tragic that good social causes ofttimes have to be hindered by temporary political consider- Ilzions. Consider. for example. the anti-segregation ruling of the United States Supreme Court which is en- countering so many difficulties in the ”Deep South". The truth is there is a considerable body of public op- inion in all the States directly con- cerned which feels that segregation -must sooner or later come to an end. Given sane and strong political lead- ership of I bi-partisan nature. this could help very considerably in ad- vancing the inevitable social change in a peaceful manner. Unfortunately.

-. the whole issue is so befoggcd by

.(-g

party politics, especially on the local level. that it is almost impossible for this important nucleus of lIw-Ibid- lng and social-conscious opinion to Insert itself effectively. In the Fed- eral field. too. the same sort of ob- Itniction is at work.

The Democrats. meanwhile, are anxious to recover lost territory. To that end. they are being extremely cautious in anything they s&.V 0" the subject. Mr. Adlai Stevenson who is seeking t h e Presidential nomin- ation, and who is, without doubt, wholly dedicated-in his mind-to racial freedom. told a meeting of Negro leaders the other day: ”I am in favour of desegregation. but it will have to be brought about grad- ually". This word ”gi'adiiii'l.V" l5- Of course exactly what the advocates of Negro suppression like to hear. since it can mean almost anything. even indefinite postponement. The statement actually was on a par with one made by the President when he told a news conference that. with respect to the rioting over the admission of a Negro to the State Univei'sity of Alabama. ”the Federal Government should not interfere so long as State and local authorities are coping with the problem".

After the election. regardless of its outcome, the Negro citizens of

the South may expect some measure ,

of fair play from national political leaders in their fight for their con- stitutional rights. Until then. it seems. they will have to coiiteni themselves with harmless and not too subtle platitudes.

Good Soviet Example

According to a press despatch, the land of vodka has opened I drink-more-milk campaign. A Sov- iet government decree broadcast by Moscow radio has criticized the statc planning commission for not realizing the importance of a good supply of milk-"this valuable nour- ishing product." The decree pro- vides for more milk production.

We can learn from the Soviets in many ways. and here is I striking example. What the milk industry needs is I campaign of this kind in Canada, with no totalitarian impli- cations. The significant point. of course. is that the Soviet govern- ment isn't doing this to promote milk sales but because it realizes that there is too much money spent in alcoholic drinks and too little ad- vantage being taken of one of na- ture's most health-giving products. Should free enterprise lag behind state control in I campaign of this kind? Our departments of health. federal and provincial, could aid in emphasizing the value of such a campaign but the initiative must come from our dairy organizations.

EDITORIAL NOTES

As an indication of the way the wind of public opinion in the United States is blowing on the subject of the Arab-Israeli disputes. Mr. Adlai Stevenson, who hopes to be the next President, is calling for military aid to Israel without further delay. Said Mr. Stevenson in a recent address: "The desire to keep the Arabs out of the Soviet camp should not be prac- tised at the expense of a proven friend of the United States and the West. the State of Israel." Former President Truman, Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, and Walter Reuther have expressed similar views.

NORTHERN LANDS

Sir. -- I often wonder why Marl- time lilenibvrs of Parliament do not get together and l11al(P de- mand for our rights in the North- ern Lands of Canada. as early partners of Confetlcrntimi. These lands were considered waste land many years ago. but have turned out to be of tremendous value. I hIve on hand copies of claims fil- ed at Ottawa years ago, but never followed up to I conclusion.

The late Sir Robert Borden. when Prime Minister. admitted the Mariiimes had I right to par- ticipate. Ind the Duncan Royal Commission siiggestcd that the matter should be given consider- ation. We have heard a great deal in recent weeks of the tax rental agreements with the Federal Gov- ernment. and it would appear that this might be the opportune time to press for equitable compensat- ion. as it should have I very con- siderable bearing on tax agree- ments. if it was fully realized by the other provinces that the Marl- timeii. partners of Canada. have been deprived of their share of the wealth of these Northern Lands. bnnded over to Quebec. Ontario. Ind Western Provinces.

In this regard we should share on a much more favorable basis. instead of a less favorable basis as it now appears from recent figures released at Ottawa. The three Marilimes. Nova Scniia. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land. can never hope to attain an economic level with the rest of Can- Ida until this most important ones!- lon is satisfactorily disposed of, Ind the Maritime: participate by way of subsidy in an equitable share of profits, as partners of Canada.

When you cnnsider the hundreds of million dollars in be spent on the St. Lawrence Waterways and the Gas Pipelines from the West. the Maritime: should surely hava the right to have their .lllSl claims recognized and adjusted

All partners of the Confederation Pact. are entitled to fair and equit- able treatment. as it would now appear the Central and certain Western Provinces are proiipering It the expense of the Mnritimes. The following statements sub- stantiate this contention. The Hon. George E. Cartier. speaking at the Conferenrc at Halifax in 1864. made the following observation: "On I survey of the whole case I do not think that there is any doubt as to

the high mix-niitage that would re- , suit from 2 union of All the colonies t -provided that terms of iuiion coulil l he found just in all tonti-acting. parties. and so framed as to secure harmony in the future administra- tion of affair-.."

Sir Wilfred Lsuricr in the House at Commons tilansard 1912. page 5060) said: "Prince Edward Island bu not profited by Confederation. For some years past it has been largely losing its population by reuon of its connection with Can- IdI Ind going backwards instead nf forward." Hon. Robert L. Bor- den. speaklng in the Opera House in Charlottetown in the year I9ll, said: "Prince Edward Island has never been treated fairly by either Coiuervative or Liberal Govern- ments ln the matter nf transport- Itlon. It is not I matter of cost, but I matter of honor between the Domininn of Canada and Prince Edward Island."

It would seem that this might be In opportunity for the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council to deal with this matter. independent of politics .

A NEGLECTED ROAD sir.-will you allow me lpaco in your forum to ask this questlod. Why the Klnkorii Rold frmn the

winter I visited Kinkora to see tho home folks and on those six oc- casions I met up with thg same difficulty. I never yet ieac ed my home by car, because the road was only open in sections. On four oc- casions I got as far as the Church then walked the rest of the way by wading through the show. And on the other occasions I got I little farther this time Is far as the Maple Plains road then that was it: battle through the snow the rest of the way Igain. .

Now there is something wrong some where. I can't say that I blame the operators of the snow- plows as they are working under the officials who are in charge of the snow plows It various places. possibly these are the persons who are to blame for ne lecting to open certain roads Agan the. Govern- mcnt officials may be to blame for failing to see to it that all roads are plowed instead of plowing the roads to certain places then leav- ing the rest until the next time the plow comes along. Something will have to he done and done fast. Due to the sleet storm of recent days. I am very doubtful, if sickness should occur. whether medical Ild could be obtained.

Now I think that the Government officials should see that the snow plows either open all roads or leaie all roads closed. If they have not the equipment let them get it. if there are not enough operators for the snow plows. more can be ob- tained.

In closing I would like to see fair play at all times. and l uould also like to see this road open from the village through to Moon's Corner Iffer every storm. for the remain- ing part of the winter.
