proposed for this province.

_In that case, of course, Mr. Camp- ll and his colleagues must also ‘ . Have been aware of the terms of the new formula since they took office on July 28, notwithstanding the Premier’s complaint that our Island hopes. had-been “shattered” by Fin- ance Minister Sharp’s proposals at

~government in this province, if

the brief presented on behalf of the

rovince at the conference and dated ept. 14, 1966, is to be credited.

Here is what it says on the sub- ject: “We have had up until a month. ago every reason for optimism in the fact that for the past two years the federal-provincial continuing commit- | tee of fiscal and economic matters have been, conducting for the taxe structure committee a comprehen-

-

the responsibilities, revenues, expen- ditures, and future requirements of the three levels of government in erder to provide the new fiscal ar- rangements covering the next five years beginning April. 1, 1967. In View of these studies we were quite confident that the ultimate result would provide substantial additional fiscal benefits to ALL provinces. However, our hopes have since been

ficial announcement that the formula to be presented for approval of the provinces completely disregards the

basic principles: of fiscal arrange- |

ments necessary to assure a full and equitable share in the development and the use of major fiscal re- sources.” :

WHO’S TO BLAME? — This rev- elation, be it noted. came through within the, past month, weeks after

‘the Shaw government had vacated..

office; and if there is any blame for concealing its import from the public, it is Mr. Cafhpbell and his colleagues who must be held responsible. They are the ones who should have warn- ed of its implications, if they were really concerned about them at the time Mie -

= Actually. we are inclined to put’ the onus. here as elsewhere, on the ‘federal authorities; for right up until the conference opening this week Mr. Sharp was assuring us that the

thave-not’’provinces ‘would’ be well

rovided for So they were—all ex- pting’ Prince Edward Island. But ow_were we to know that? We be- eve that to Mr. Campbell himself it as a shocking piece of news, as it as to our citizens zenerallv. We are gill wholehearted|y behind him in his fight for a better deal. But let him,

for goodness sake, keep his guns on

the right target, and not waste am- munition on phoney accusations against his predecessor in office, who, on the Campbell government's own showing, had “every reason for opti-. mism” with regard?to the firm basis the new formula would provide for this province's development.

Mr. Campbell is new to his oner- . our responsibilities, and he has in- deed run into a lot of them since he came to power. But the difficulties that beset him now are not of Con- servative making. The public-is well aware of this fact, and it would help a lot if he frankly conceded as much.

_ Drawing partisan red herrings across

the trail will get neither him nor us anywhere.

A Gall To Action

Apparently - the’. railway unions are goirig to fight-for-what they re- gard as their right to ride roughshod over the constitutional rights of this province in the matter of our vital Borden-Tormentine car ferry service. They want to retain their strangle hold on the province in the event of another strike, and will protest any transfer of—control of this service from CNR agency. tothe government , of this country, where it belongs.

Well, that’s fair warning. of what we may expect in the ‘event of another strike showdown. To safe- guard us against. any such outrage as we were subjected to a short time ago, the provincial government is re- questing a transfer of responsibility to more stable hands, and the Can- adian Trucking Association and Prince Edward Island Tourist Assoc- iation have done likewise. Let our boards_of trade, farm and fishery organizations get behind the move-

any more time. The issue has been

question of talk any more, but of action. If we fail to rally the support . our provincial authorities need in pressing the justice of our claim in

ourselves to blame.

What Really Counts _ A person with a grade 12 certif-

someone who has only passed grade 8, but the net contribution to the national welfare is nil if the grade 12 graduate can'‘t-spell and so fouls up- a clerical job that his employer must spend valuable time and money to teach him. This was one of the points made in a lengthy. brief submitted by Air Canada officials to an inter- provincial conference on education and manpower recently. The. brief has attracted widespread comment, for the réason that it deals with a problem of very practical concern: namely, that a great many high school graduates today are weak on the fundamentals. The Air Canada brief went even further. It charged that school sys- tems across the nation,falready suf- fering from a lack of common stand- _ards, are.on.the whole. geared.to..the.. non-industrial era which has passed us by. In other words, although. we are stepping up the number of high.

‘school and university graduates each

year, many of them have studied the wrong things.

The coincidental publication by ‘the Economic Council of Canada of a study called Manpower Planning in Industry predicts a vastly increased corporate need for high school and university trained personnel by 1970. Requirements for university gradu- ates will increase by 45.9. per cent and the 17 corporations used in the same study will want 37.3 per cent more high schoo! graduates.

But as the Hamilton Spectator points out in this connection, reports like this trend to make people think in terms of graduation as an end in it- self. In our rush to build more build- ings and hire more teachers we over- look the content factor. As the Fow-

ler Report said of the CBC, program- ming. is the thing and all the rest is window dressing.

EDITORIAL NOTE

“Color television has come to Canada for real,”. comments the Ed-. .monton: Journal. “By now, the CTV and the CBC are offering color TV. to almost every Canadian. And how many Canadians have color receiving sets? Less than one per cent, that’s who. Most of them are in the Tor- onto-Montreal-Vancouver areas. What about’ all the othérs, who may never see the joys of Expo 67 in color 6n the’ tube? Impossible deprivation. All that -color-going to waste! Just wait

. to see which politician is first to: (a)

deplore the high cost of color TV sets; (b) declare he is for a color set in every home; and (c) ask for federal subsidies to that end:”.

°

Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp recently announced an imminent increase in taxation, coupled with the bad news that the Liberal government now re-

clearly enough defined. It is not a ~—gardsthe threat of inflation in

Canada as “important and ur- gent”. The following day, a rash.of blue and.white bumper ~ stickers broke out on cars in Ot- tawa. The proclaimed ‘Don’t Blame Me I Voted Conserva- “tive’’.

‘Another bumper sticker much in evidence in Ottawa is - aptly in this era of the ten million dol- lar Commission on Bilingualism printed in French. It reads “Faites Comme Moi Lisez Le | Droit”. Some of the English-

speaking majority of Ottawans welcome this as an exhortation _to the capital’s notoriously undis- ciplined drivers, loosely trans- lable as ‘‘Do like me Liza keep to. the right.’” ;

POLISH MPs MEET...

An unexpected Canadian par- liamentary reunion took place in Poland last month? when a number of senators and MPs were the official guests of the Polish government.

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson : Reaction Far From Enthusiastic

Nova Scotia,”’ he writes - and he has been observing our. -news media on his travels.

““The Camadian newspapers and radio and television ne t- works seem provincizl,"’ he comments. “They are much pre-occupied,-even in the great cities of Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, with their own domes- tic concerns. Their railroad unions, now demanding a 30 per cent wage rise, make our strik- ing airline mechanics (seeking 6 per cent), or even Jimmy Hof- fa, look like statesmen. And their insistence on _ provincial

rights make Mississippi or Ala: |bama seem almost subservient to the central government in

Washington.”’ That is a fair comment on the news, labour and political scenes Our news media have been get- ting. a lot of criticism recently, especially for- their. descriptions of the Ottawa scene. I will come back to that another day. OTTAWA REPORT SPREADS Bearing on Scotty Reston’s criticism, Jim Tucker, the 56

jyear old Liberal MP for’ Trinity | Conception, Newfoundland _talk- jed to me last week about an “Ottawa Report", written three months ago, in. which I describ- ed one of Parliament Hill's less stgnificant occasions. Jim brought. up» by air-a-supply—of fresh Newfoundland cod’s _ton- gue, scallops and salmon and invited some MPs and a few oth- er friends to dine of Newfound- land sea food as his guests. I wrote about the food, and about Jim and his guests including | Orillia's Dr. Phil Rynard- and | Moose Jaw's Ernie Pascoe and ; about the chit-chat around the table. Jim tells me that he had clips of that column sent him by friends and by~ strangers from the Eastern ~ Townships, PEI, western Canada and even USA. Then a newspaper in Newfoundland , reprinted it. ‘I ; got more-publicity from that

from all the speeches I have ever made in the House’, he | said. “And Jim talks sense when he makes-a speech too.

China Does Exist

Milwaukee Journal

Not long ago, to suggest that |

this country would recognize Communist China at any future point in history would bring down the wrath of an indignant nation-on the head- of the speak- er. But now, even as China end this country are in a state of mil- itrry confrontation, President Johnson cam and did say that “veconciliation’’ with Commun- ist China is essential to peace. and will cometn. time.

The acknowledgement th at

steps away from the position of refusing to°recognize that. China exists. The state department has removed the bar on travel to China’except for the’ case of tourism. ‘

be much travel, for the Chinese aren't letting many people in, especially since the current pole itical purges started.

Rep. Zablocki (D-Wis.) and oth- -

ers, and suggest that Commun- ;ist-China—and- Nationalist China both be granted seats:

Hoarseness IsSymptom |

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

Hoarseness is. a symptom ra- ther than a disease. When the disorder lasts longer than 10 days, examination must be made to determine the cause. This. should be done by. a: physi-

the knowledge to make a thor- ough study of the vocal cords.

The main worry about chronic hoarseness is that it may be caused by a malignancy. But cancer is of one origin. There is a good possibility that a more innocent disturbance is respon- sible, because hoarseness stems from any condition that. interfer- es with the functioning, ‘tension, or vibration of one or both vocal cords. Paralysis, scars, secre- tions, and inflammation are not unusual causes.

provided treatment is early. ‘ ; :

Acute laryngitis is a form of the disease that is associated with a cold or upper-respiratory

nfection. It lasts two to three

ays and relief is obtained by resting the voice and avoiding irritants, such as smoke, fumes, and dust. A vaporizer is soothing more so when a teaspoonful of compound tincture of benzoin-.is added to each quart of water used. If hoarseness persists, oth- er possibilities come up for con- sideration.

Food Prices

Montreal

Few Canadian housewives needed that recent dispatch from Ottawa to make them aware of steadily rising food costs. The message, in much more personal form, has been received each week at the check out counter of every grocery and supermarket. Although she might not know that the over- all food index was up seven points, from 139.0 to 146.0 in the past year, the shopper could complain that hamburger ws 79 cents a pound, that milk tic- kets were costing a cent or two more per quart, depending on her location.

Unfortunately, neither person- |al experience nor the pronoun- |eement from the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics offer any clues as to where ‘the additiorial out- lay for. food is going. The dollar spent. on--food today act-u-a-ll-y brings so many other compon- ents besides the basic raw ma- terials, that tracking down the share retained by each stage of production’ from farm to dinner table becomes an almost hove- lessly complex task.
