SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1986._ Patriot Family Quarrel

Our local contemporary (editorially) ap- pears to view with grave misgiving the policy advocated by its own business manager, Mr. GAUIJET, of constructing new public works in the form of bridges across the North and \\'est Rivers- Mr. GAUDET, as representing the Patriot, warmly indorsed these undertakings at a meet- ing at Afton Hall. In llle saute issue in Wllllfll the meeting is reported, however, appears an editorial commending Finance Minister DUN- Nmo for cutting down expenditures in every department, including public works. It is headed "Orthodox Financing" and reads in part as follows:

"There are many improvements which, mem- bers would like to get. for their constituents, but - the financial condition of the country must be_ kept in mind. Just as an individual must cut his coat according to his cloth, and must abandon many things he would like to get, simply because he hasn't got the money, so it must be the same with governments. After all. the government money is simply the people's own money, and in; creased expenditures must mean increased tax- ation or increased debt, which must e paid some‘ time, including the accumulated i terest. Mr. Dunning adopted the right; attitude, and we be- lieve, will have the support of all our people ex-. cept those who think that there should be no limit to governmental expenditures."

_ But: Mr. Gavom‘ was not to be caught nap- ping. I-Ie forestalled the objections to expend- itures which his newspaper raises editorially, as is evident from the following quotation of his letter in the Patriot of last Wednesday:

"I would say to all governments-When busi- ness is good is no time to throw away money on uselesuprojects, but to lay aside funds to be spent hen the business of the country goes slack When business and employment are good, governments need not spend sb much. but they should edlect their taxes and set aside sufficient aunts to be spent should times get‘ bad. When a depression is on, it is not-thc time to balance budgets so much, but to keep on spending on things that, are sure to be an asset when times get better; and now is not quite the time for a government to cut off its spending on necessary things, when the public works of this country need repairs." '

If Mr. Gauoizrs views are correct, they cut.

I the ground completely from under the Patriot's

editorial statement of yesterday.

But a. grave question arises. Is yesterday's editorial intended as a rebuke to the zeal shown by its business manager? The word “orthodox" having been applied by the Patriot editor to Mr. Dunumds policy oi retrenchment, Mr. GAUDET

_is left to rest under the humiliating implication

that the contrary views which he entertains are those of a. “l1crctic"l

But is editorial repudiation possible in this case? Mr. (iatrnlar, as a matter of fact, frequent- ly writes his own front-page editorials, thus giv- ing occasions to readers iu recognize him as the guiding genius of his paper. li was in the capac- ity of a.

‘yesterday's Guardian with regard to thc serious- ness of the unemployment relief problem in rural communities throughout the Province merits the serious attention of both our provin- cial and federal representatives. The difficulty has been accentuated. according to our corres- pondent, by the inability of farmers to engage hired help, and these persons, without seasonal employment or other nlealls of support, are ex- pected to livc on a government dole of $5.00 per month. ~

The most serious aspect‘ of the case is that the Dominion Government has apparently no policy for meeting this contingency. This ut-ek, in the House of Commons, Mr. _T. 'L. Cnvucu, Conservative member for lbrotito-Broadviciv, submitted a~ resolution calling for a national housing programme and other measures for re- lief of unemployment. In presenting this resolution Mr_ Cnuacn asked for an indication of thc (joverumenfs contemplated programme. In reply he obtained from lIon- NORMAN L. Rocuas, Minister of Labour, a short homily on speculative e~nnomics. Alleging that the Govern- ment would at all times “place human needs be- fore national credit!’ he balanced this observ- ation with the caution that the Government "could not spend itself into prosperity, tlnugh It could spend itself into chaos.'_' The Minister followed up these generalities with a criticism of thc relief camps established by the BENNETT
