ae ed it under the Constitution. _ Only.

! | Parliament ‘can divest itself of its own powers; and this not by way of

a mere resolution, but -by a formal |

Act of Parliament, giving opportun- ity for full debate and clause-by- clause study.

This is at the root of the objec- tions raised to certain features of the formula to amend the . Constitution. | Already there are divisions within the parties on this issue, particularly among the Conservatives. The PC

| provinces of Ontario, Nova Scotia,

Prince Edward-Island and Manitoba, as well as the provinces of New | Brunswick, Newfoundland and - Al- berta, have had their legislatures ap- prove the. formula even though the | Federal House has yet to see the leg- -islation for which the provinces have written. blank cheques. :

- Mr. DiefenbaKer has.Stated that

this to the limit to assure that we do:

At this season of the year when ~

the sun

passes through-the easterly

portion of the Zodiac new hope is re- kindled in the heart of man, and new

. ‘life surges through the heart of nat- | . _ ure, recreating and rebeautifying hill- | side and forest.

At this season, too,

Christians throughout the world will congregate to hear, once again, the glorious. Easter story, and join with the choir invisible in their hymns of

_ Praise. cathedrals tomorrow, in cities

In humble missions and great and

hamlets the-message-will be proclaim- ed, and men and women will be touched to a new and living experi- ence through faith in the risen Christ.

This is the miracle of Easter, which neither the scientists nor the

philosophers have been able to -ex-

plain. True, they can show that East-

ér was

originally a pagan festival

held in April in honor of the’ goddess of dawn, Eastre; but thatydoes not minimize its importance to the Chris- tian world because )the resurrection

tion of the Feast ofthe Passover. It heralded the dawn of a new

day, bringing hope for the future; ~ and hope, too, of reconciliation here and now between God and man.

It

_s this gospel of reconciliation that is at the core of all Christian doctrine, ‘and makes it the tremendous force it has been throughout- the centuries.

. Easter has dawned in other years

on times which, in their own way,

were as’full of turmoil as ours. Each

age has

those who believe that theirs

is the worst of all ages. But as the Resurrection . brought spiritual re- demption to mankind, so does its yearly celebration bring a new spirit of hope and joy to the human heart. To those for whom Easter means

that the tyranny of death no longer holds sway the day brings something else, equally precious to. its posses-

sors. tumult.

It brings serenity amid any

Theirs is the serenity of

knowing, in Dante’s memorable liné: “In Thy will is my peace.”

A Crucial Issue

No fewer than eight items in the Throne Speech at Ottawa this session

involve

federal-provincial confer-

ences before they can be implement-

ed.

This, probably, is what Prime

Minister Pearson calls “co-operative federalism”; but another name was given to them in the Commons this

week by a Conservative speaker, Gor- | don Fairweather, who termed. them |

not Balkanize Canada and bring

ot

are in power provincially will be in this “fight to the limit” is, however, to say the least, a doubtful question.

_ In Viet Nam China is still scorning any im- mediate negotiations to end the Viet

support for Communist forces in the area. Its policy may be to maintain | an atmosphere of crisis at least until the key Afro-Asian conference in Al- giers in late June. At the same time, China still shuns open involvement in the conflict, despite its offer to send men to the South. There seems little Chinese inclination for a direct con- frontation . with the United States, -which is about the only hopeful gleam that one can find in the situation. _

Meanwhile what of the Mekong River project, to . which .President Johnson has asked Congress to pledge one billion dollars? This scheme has been under study by a United Nations - commission, which estimates..t-hat- -more than -20,000 acres of the Lower “Mekong basin could be irrigated, in- suring industrial as well as rural de- velopment by utilizing the great re- sources of power provided by dam- ming the river. The estimated cost of the entire project will be $2 billion dollars, and it would take 25 years to complete. .

The survey team has worked in the Mekong River area despite the guerrilla warfare intermittently in progress there. They were never molested by either side. The surveys are now complete; and if the Soviet Union and her allies could be induc- + ed, under United Nations auspices, to join with the U.S. in this great humanitarian ‘project, it could spell the beginning of a new era for this part of the world. But first a ne- gotiated- truce must be achieved, and that will take some doing.

;

Reassuring

It is reassuring to note that for the first three months of this year. no new polio cases have been reported in Canada. This compares with four cases in the same period last year, the average also for the three previous year. Indeed, according to a senior official of the federal health depart- ment, it can now be said that this |. virus which once struck fear into so | Many Canadian homes has been: “vir- | tually eliminated.”

The health department estimates

a “sham” because they tie Parlia- that more than 90 per cent of Can-

ment’s hands in advance. They rep- |

resent, he maintained, a shift in the decision-making function which prop- erly belongs to Parliament and to the Legislatures.

* The

same point was made recent-

ly by our junior member for Queens, Mr. Macquarrie, author of an author-

itative history of the Conservative .

Party, when he complained that we are developing, at these secret con- ferences between federal and pro vincial cabinet members, “what prac- tically amounts to a third area of gov-

ernmental action and decision.”

In-

deed, he said, it could be called “a multi-governmental. area of action

’ atid decision,” and it was not clear. | cut where the responsibilities lie. | There was no “channelling of formation go. that the responsibility |

ada’s school-age children now have been adequately immunized with Salk vaccine or.the oral Sabin vaccine. | Last year there were 21° paralytic polio cases, two of them fatal. The figures compare with 548 polio cases in 1955, the year the Salk vaccine was introduced, 1,887 in 1959, when the last. flare-up took place, and 123 in ,1963. In 1933, Canada’s worst polio year, there were 3,192 paralytic cases and 494 deaths.

The improvement has ‘been mark- ed indeed. But officials warn that the incidence of the disease could in- crease if the current high level of immunization of Canada’s youth is not maintained.

YOUTH AND ALCOHOL . Sir,—We, ‘the undersigned wish to. draw the attention of your readers to a special week | set aside as Youth Alcohol Edu- | cation Week on Prince Edward | Island from April 18 to April 24. |

The objective of the week's ac-

tivities is to draw the attention of young and old to the alarming

increase in the consuimption of |

alcoholic beverages in our Is- land province and elsewhere. We firmly believe that if peo- ple know the true facts about al- cohol, its harmful affects on the human body, its demoralizing in- fluence on society, and its many associated evils, they will . be more likely to practise volun- tary total abstinence. Education will help. to dispel the. general ignorance of the evils forced on society by alcohol and its abuse. by individuals. It is often the cause of broken homes, juvenile delinquency, moral indecency, economic hardship, highway tragedies, and ruined lives. Its cost on society is very great. At is very important that teens, be made aware of this present

' evil so that they will not become

its victims. Alcohol education of youth will remove the cloak of ignorance and. result ina larger measure. of sobriety. youth on Prince Edward Island can take the lead in bringing about an alcohol-free society: Yours truly, President, Athena Allied Youth, John MacIntosh President; P.E.I. Allied Youth and Intefnational Director of A.Y., David Simmons International Director of Allied Youth, Rosslyn Shaw.
