‘ ‘ the weakest ink" Fifi:TiT—’ru01isbKf.T6_6_6sT1‘T.T96‘2- Memorial Progress
During the long months in'which tho news of plans for the Fathers if Confederation Memorial Build-
g hers gradually has been unfold- ilg, there really has been nothing but good news. There have, how- dver, been some gaps in that news.
Yesterday one of those galls W“ closed, at least 1n part, by a news re- port from Victoria, B.C., following the third annual conference of Can- ada's provincial pr 0 mi e rs, which said that the d e l e g at e s: “Joined hands with the federal government to pay for a memorial to Canada’s founding fathers by agreeing in principle to a contribution of 15 cents per capita toward construction of a $5,800,000 memorial centre in Char- lottetown. The federal government already has pledged $2,600,000"
While the provincial premiers announced their support for the pro- ject during their Charlottetown con- ference last year. the Victoria re- port is the first one to tell of is def- inite agreement on a formula for provincial contributions.
It appears, therefore, that an- other step has been taken toward assuring the financing of this mag- nificent enterprise. This province, accordingly, will share in the de- light expressed at Victoria by Dr. Frank MacKinnon, as president of the Memorial Foundation, at the decision growing out of his appear- ance before the conference.
Of course 9. few more steps re- main to be taken to make Island happiness in these developments complete, such as having the inter- provincia “agreement in principls," and the federal government's "plsdgc" translated into definite ap- propriations.
However, tho careful, success- ful, stop-by-step development of this program to data gives a strong basis for expecting that they will become forthcoming as needed.
Certainly there will not be room for any delays if there is to be realization of Dr. MacKinnon’s ex- pectation that 1 start will be made on the building by December, or early January, and that the Memor- isl Building will be open in 1964, to mark the 100th anniversary of the Charlottetown Confederation‘ Con- ferencc.
Trouble In Cuba? ‘
A news despatch from Miami, Florida, states that rumors persist of the recent landing in Cubs of four thousand soldiers from tho Soviet Union.
The credibility of the rumors is strengthened by a recent Spanish broadcast from Miami, on the Voice of the People program, stat- ing that travellers in Cuba have seen the Soviet soldiers and that they be- ‘Move. the troops were sent at the re-
quest of Castro who fears s rebel- lion within the country.

Oulis h s sounds: shin. I In is I right to request, and receive milit- ary assistance from an outside pow- er to put down any rebellion within its own jurisdiction. If it did re’- quest, and receive, military support from outside, Washington might find it hard, if not impossible, to find any legal grounds for objecting to the Cuban action, even though it is sure that the U.S., and probably the organization of American States as well, would object in fact.
There are, however, some reason for doubting the veracity of those rumors.
Castro has shown more internal strength and solidarity than his op- ponents like. He has control of all military equipment within the coun- try and he has a secret police that is everywhere within the island. More- over, in spite of all his talk to the contrary, he employs a ruthlessness ' with the enemies of his regime that has sent hundreds of them before firing squads.
The man who was able to mus- ter enough force to send Batista into exile may now himself be ner- vous to the point where he would call on Mr. Khrushchev for help to support his government.
But it will be time to believe it when we have more proof.
Jamaica's Siaius
It is a familiar thing to hear Canadians complain over the ignor- ance of this country shown by per- sons in other lands. But it is far from unknown for Canadians to commit the same offence when talk- ing about affairs in places beyond this country’s borders.
Several examples of this sort of ialk have been provided in connec- tion with Jamaica's achievement of sovereignty this week. One news- paper in the Maritimes, for instance, spoke of Jamaica ending her status as a "British Crown colony," while a newscaster elsewhere in the Mari- times remarked that Jamaica had been governed “for more than 300 years under a. British-type consti- tution.”
Well, although Jamaica was a British possession for some 807" years, it would be hard to find many of the benefits of that “British-type
period. It was only a little more than 120 years ago that the forefathers of most of those who now call them- selves Jamaicans made their first move toward freedom with the abo- lition of slavery. The progress to citizenship took a large part of another century. '
Even so, it is dozens of years since Jamaica advanced from t h 0 status of being 11 “Crown colony," a form of rule in‘ which all power, is vested in the Crown and none ro- poses with the people. Far from be- ing a ‘‘Crown colony,” Jamaica has had a steady increase in its degree of self-rule throughthe past many 1 decades; has had universal adult suffrage and s wholly—electcd House of Representatives since 1944, s n d full ‘internal self-government sincs 1959. V’
These points will seem minor to most Canadians, yet Jamaicans, in this day of their new freedom, arc sensitive people. and .do not like be- ing. misrepresented or misunder- stood.

GOING BAREFOOT
OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Revising The Old Cabinet Blueprint
The ravages of time and of the ballot box have made a reshap- ing of the federal cabinet es- The Prime Minister's plans i11 this regard are likely to be known soon after this is read. but nevertheless there has been remarkably little newspaper speculation and no leaks in the recent quiet weeks here.
This contrasts with the energy so helpfully displayed by many pundits in advising Mr. l')iefen- baker in the musical chairs of cabinet reconstruction n in c months 11 go. just before the widely publicised and dramlcally uneventful pilgrimage by the entire cabinet to Quebec City.
Of course the present group of 116 Conservative M.Ps offers the P.M. a less free-flowing choice of cabinet material than previous backing of 207 suppor- ters in the House of Commons.
Apart from the availability talent, the pattern of cabinet re- presentation now poses a pro blcm. striking at the traditional construction of our federal min-

Up to five years ago, the ca- binet was nearly always built from the blueprint of "represen- tation by population", with six or seven ministers from each of our two large provinces. and just 1 from each other province except unrepresented P.E.I.
That rule of thumb was proportlontcly unfair to our growing provinces. and often damaging to Canada in that it led to the advancement of cer- tain politicians. whose only qual- ification was the fortuitous hap- penstanoc of their postal address or the accidental hazard of their parental religion.
In some respects Mr. Diefen- baker broke away from those old shackles in the interests of the provinces and the nation.
Fast-growing B.C. has had as many as three Ministers in the Dlefenbaker cabinet simultan- eously: P.E.I. has always been represented; the nation w s s well served by the appointment

The Search For Direction
Christian science Monitor
In Britain. too, change can blow. And it raises questions as to whether the gov- ernment can counter it with anything more than a change of
wind.
Has Prime Minister Macmillan saved his own position? Can he save his party's? The answer to both questions — which svo been under the microscope of intrapsrty debate during the last several days. would seem to be yes, for the moment.
But part of the credit goes surely to the mysticslly tribal character of Conservative Par- ity processes for selecting. dis- placing, or retaining a leader. This is s process as private as the inner sanctums of the most select club. It usually leaves the facade of the bulldln| composed and inscrutable.

New Brunswick. Prince Ed- ward Island, and Newfoundland were the only three Canadian provinces to show an increased birth rate in 1961. As I whole. the nation's rate declined from 26.9 per thousand in 1960 to 26.1 per thousand population in 1961. We need these new Maritim- srs very much. indeed. But can we keep them in the Atlantic Provinces? Can we offer them living conditions, health servic- es, education and job opportun- ‘es? Will we lose them, as we have lost so many from past generations, to the other prov- lnces. or to the United States?
