Mr. Hellyer’s Mission .Naval ratings who reportedly ' jeered and heckled Defense Minister * Hellyer when he addressed them_in Halifax yesterday on his policy of unifying the armed services showed a lamentable disregard of courtesy, to say the least. The issue which the minister’s policy has raised will not be. settled by such demonstrations.

’, There are much more substantial

grounds for believing it to be out of line with our defense requirements. It has already been strongly criticized by some of Canada’s senior naval and military officers, and the ordin- ary citizen has a.right to assume that _-these men have the interests of the services at heart and the knowledge ~and experience to- speak authorita- tively on the subject. But it is re- grettable that any support of their views should seem to come from un- ruly elements. Whether service men agree with him or not, the minister is entitled to a respectful hearing and that, it is to be hoped, is what he will get when he visits the air bases at Greenwood, N.S. and Summerside

they were first granted, they were incredibly generous. Even in the con- text of 1864-67, they were enlarged and-vitally_important.__________—. “Without them, and indeed with- out the protective armor-of- British | power-to-maintain-them, they-would- have long since disappeared. We Canadians live on a continent dom- inated by a huge and aggressive neighbor, ‘the United States which, ) in its constitution, won by blood, denies such minority rights. Who in his senses could assert that, without that shield, and without the basic compromise agreed to by the English- speaking, Protestant Canadian major: ity. in 1867, such rights could have been preserved. So we remain an in- depewdent people, its minority rights, imverfect though- they may be, pre- served. -

“Without them, the concept of the ‘French Canadian nation’ would have long since disappeared, submerged in the vast sea of English-speaking, secular-minded North America. The distinctive qualities of Quebec endure because of the much-decried BNA Act. It is not a statute by any means perfect. It is subject to amendment. But let us not forget in moments of euphoric Quebec nationalism, when Quebec wants everything, that this is the histori¢ fact and that ignoring the ; fundamentals, leads to their elias tion.” —

~ This is well worth ecohasiite, " though we doubt if it will carry much weight with Premier Johnson and his associates. Nor indeed has it received. any attention where one would most expect it, namely in the findings. to _date. of the Royal Commission on Bi-_ lingualism and Biculturalism—a pol- | itical white elephant if there ever was one, which is still out at pasture, somewhere, at the continuing ex- pense of our overburdened taxpayers.

today. It has been pointed out that Mr. Hellyer himself can hardly claim to - be a military expert. For the record, hé graduated from an aeronautics school in Califortiia in 1941, at the age of 18. He went to work at Fleet

Aircraft in Fort Erie, Ont., which was”

then engaged on war contracts. In 1944 he joined the RCAF, but air

~ erew training ceased about that time, course. He obtained his discharge from the RCAF and joined the artil- lery, from which he was demobilized in 1946 as a lance bombadier. He did not serve overseas.

‘But these facts are beside the point so far as his official status is eoncerned, and his right to promul- gate what policies he sees fit as Canada’s defense minister. Unifica- tion has been government policy

since. 1964, and it is committed ‘to.

trving to bring it, about by July 1, 1967. The policy has been discussed by members of the House of Com- mons standing committee on defense, but Admiral Landymore, its chief ovvonent, has complained that his statement had been garbled before ‘being submitted to the committee, avd that the full significance of the moye was not explained.

In any case, ‘a bill embodying the policy has still to be introduced: in

tant as to warrant a full-scale inter- national: conference. The gathering is to take place at Geneva in August of 1967, the idea being to fix on the standardization of place names, both internationally and within the coun- tries concerned. Under consideration will be a proposal for setting up a UN Bureau on Geographic Names, which would act as a sort of clearing’ house.

This is “not ia ‘an academic undertaking. Name standardization is needed to: facilitate the work of cartographers, census-takers, demo- graphers’ and _ statisticians, not to mention making things easier -for “tourists and travellers. Thus London would be known as “London” in France and ‘not ‘‘Londres” as it is now referred to on French maps. The capital of Portugal henceforth would be called “Lisboa” rather than the _anglicized_ “Lisbon” as ‘is now. the practice in English-speaking coun- . countries.

But the biggest obstacle to name standardization, as a UN dispatch . points out, is usage. People don’t change their name-calling habits easily. About 20 years ago, New York officially changed the name of Sixth Avenue to Avenue of the Americans, but not-one New Yorker in 50 ever uses. the term.

Another problem is political. Stal- ingrad has been changed to.

Behind him comes 56-year-old Bob Winters, a Bluenose turned Bay Street Boy, and so a right- est. A big man with a big smile — a sort of Liberal George Hees without the Hees political sex- appeal. Although he rejected earlier calls to return to politics — in the 1962 and 1963 electfons — he is the choice of some Bo- werful Liberal bagmen.

British economy.

On the day that Callaghan, chancellor of the exchequer, tried to convince a Canadian audience most 6f what is writ ten about-the British economy is based on misrepresentation, Labor Minister Gunter bluntly told a Yorkshire audience the British people must face the facts.

“We have been—people may not like the strong words—dis- honest and thriftless,’’ Gunter said. ‘From April, 1965, to Ap- riJ, 1966, this ae paid itself 4nineomes of all sorts nearly four times more than we earned in increased productivity.

“It is unworthy of our history

| that we should expect higher in-

comes, more hospitals, more houses out of borrowed money. The confidence of our creditors and our allies abroad had al- most gone in July of this. year and they, in my opinion, rightly demanded that Britain should give-some proof of her~willing- ness to come—to terms—with et | own problems.”

DECLARE WAR > :

In Toronto Monday, Callaghan argued that much of what_is said and written about Britain | is based-on lazy and inaccurate jrumor and that it is time to end the myths and declare war

'on the new mythologists.

Callaghan said Battain is no more strike-ridden than’ other major Western country; Britain | still exports a huge volume of

He said vigtually nothing about the fact that Britain con. tinues to import more than -she

rent loans, she..would have vir. tually nothing left in her foreivn reserves; her share of wer'd markets has declined and big orders for. such traditional Brit- ish service as shipbuilding have been shifted to Japan.

The struggle to pour new strength in the British economy has reached an acute stage. The government has launched a massive attenipt to damp down prices; put a clamp on unions’ drive for higher wages and force manufacturers to export more by reducing the home’ market through tighter credit. which might also help discourage im- ports.

The drama of Britain's ability’ to survive as & competitive world power. will unfold in dry facts and figures in the months ahead._Meanwhile, says Gunter, “We have the opportunity tals time of crisis of facing the facts of life. Hitherto we have shrunk away. from them."

The fact that Gunter and Cal-
