;Significant, departure from

A

precedent marked the 17th anniver-.

saty celebrations of Communist China

m@ Sunday in Peking. As the masses of célebrants marched..through Tie

-Nanmen Square led by Red Guards carrying a gigantic portrait of Mao Tse-tung, there were ho visiting-heads of state, as in years past, on the

ot reviewing stand. Also missing were

the ambassadors of the Soviet Union, Poland, ‘Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania, East Germany, and Bul- a and the charge d'affaires of ugoslavia—all of whom are out of the country. ; Also regarded as. significant’ was e fact that a China National Day. éve meeting in Hanoi carefully avoid- éd any mention of -Peking’s great ultural revolution in keeping with North Vietnam’s established practice. But North Korea less than two weeks. ago joined in the chorus of derision én Peking’s current campaign: And ‘orean visitors in China have failed ) respond to the cultural revolution speeches made by their hosts.

This hasn’t deterred the Chinese {

Communists, in National Day articles, from boasting that “(New China has become the centre to which all: revolutionary people-look up.” They say Tse-tung is shining over the whole world with its brilliance and inating: the road of*liberation poopie:

Moscow’s reaction, through Izves- tia, the government newspaper, has been fo warn Peking leaders that they are provoking “a further worsen- ing in relations” with the Kremlin, and to repeat earlier Soviet accusa- tions that the Chinese leaders are deviating from the true path of Com- munism.

Chairman Mao doesn’t seem to

give a single hoot for such a criticism. Neither, apparently, do his hundreds of millions of followers, who are so

rébuffs from other quarters fall as faintly on their ears as if they had emanated from Uncle Sam himself— that monster of villainy who now seems to have been relegated to a back place in Red China’s internation- al rogues’ gallery.

Round & Round We Go

Writing in the London Free Press, Robert Needham predicts that the joint Senate-Commons: comniittee,

now investigating rising prices and .

inflationary pressures in Canada, may serve to illustrate how little the science of government has progressed in recent years—or_ alternatively, how limited is the scope of govern- mental intervention in a free enter- prise society and particularly in a ‘-federal system with its divided juris- dication. This is a point well taken. The writer recalls the celebrated industry and prices inquiry set up under the Bennett government, first ap BY a parliamentary committee, then by @ réyal commission, both. chaired

by Hon. H.H. Stevens. - Mackenzie —

King;. leader of the Opposition, protested “vigorously the launching of this probe. “What the country is interested in,” he declared, “is not so much further inquiry (about prices) of which everyone. knows a great deal, but legislation, if more is re-

quired, to meet a situation that is

already understood.” Fourteen years later, in 1948, Mr,

- “King as prime minister rose in the

e

Commons to propose his own special parliamentary inquiry into the ris-

- ing cost of living..Hun. Paul Martin

then minister of health and welfare, was designated chairman, As/ iwas the case with the Stevens committee, an

unfinished task was handed. on to a royal_ commission. And even- as’ Mr, King had protested the appointment

1948 protested the establishment of

the Martin committee. In December of 1957 it was John 4

to establish a royal_ commission on price spreads, followed in 1959 by a Senate inquiry into inflation. Its primary concern had been with food- - stuffs. But it too laid stress on the role that government fiscal and monetary policy had to play in con- taining inflation. In essence, it blam- ed/the price spread on. new market- ing services and increased-prices for these services; higher costs for trans- portation, processing, packaging and the like. And the Senate committee on inflation, which reported that mid- summer, reiterated the proposition that the fiscal and monetary tools to contain inflation were available to the government.

Common to all; was the assertion that it. was incumbent upon all segments of the economy to exercise -restraint for the general good. And isn’t that just-what the current in- quiry is expected to do? No doubt it will emphasize, too, that the govern- ment must exercise judicious use: of monetary and fiscal policies, but that it needs the co-operation of industry

It could happen just that way, as it

More Confusion

When one takes over the role of innovator, it’s hard to know where to stop. The changes that Hon. Paul

‘armed: services provide a case in point. To make service personnel more like civilians, He has not only

with, civilian occupations but ordered that they will have to pay for their housing and for their meals, It will now become hard to figure out *to— what extent the pay boosts are offset by the new obligation to pay shelter and food, But it opens-up other con-

As the Montreal Gazette points out in this conection, civilians at least have both the right and the respon- ‘sibility to find the shelter they wish, within the range they can afford. And, again within the scope of their ability to pay, they can provide for themselves the food they prefer. But in the services, though the person-. nel will have to pay for shelter and food. and are thus moved nearer to

This at once opens up the way to ceaseless complaints.

If they are now, to be in the pos- ition of tenants, they will be complain- ‘ing to their commanding officers as if to landlords. And if they are dis- satisfied with. their food, in quality, quantity or variety, they will-be in the-position of customers calling for the manager.

Whether in the long run it will: be better to put service personnel into the position of tenants and.. customers is questionable. Has Mr. Hellyer really thought out the impli-’ ‘cations of this move, or is ‘it ‘just another brain wave that has visited him in the process of ripping up old traditions? If service discipline is to be maintained at all, it would now seem to require the service man to pay but without the rights that normally accompany. the one who pays.

Here’s something, surely, tot Parliament to look into when-it gets the chance.

Where do the richest cenet jans live?

TWENTY - FIVE YEARS AGO (October 4, 1941) Japanese forces capable of a “full dress campaign” and sup- ported by aerial units began grand manoeuvers in Saigon.

Rightist terrorism burst upon German-. occupied Paris as six Jewish synagogues were wreck- ed by bombs, while in other Nazi controlled Jands\of the continent) executions and other measures were c out by the German authorities with continuous severity.

TEN YEARS AGO (October 4, 1956)

Rev. Donald Campbell, pastor of St. Andrew’s P he s b yterian Church, ‘Montague,"has been elected moderator of the Presby- terian Church in the Maritime Provinces.

J. Angus MacLean, Conserva- tive MP for Queens, picked John Diefenbaker, his collgea- gue from Prince Albert, as_the. most likely “ man to succeed George Drew as National Lead- er of the Conservative Party.

‘lacter of the

the Canadian average; it is also the province’ which reports the nearest egalitarianism in family incomes. These range from the highest average of $5,731 im the district including Regina and spreading out along the. Qu-Ap- pelle Valley, and a low of $8,490 around Meadow Lake. Of course these figures apply to the cal- endar year 1960; Saskatchewan's all-time record crop of over 500 million bushels this year will ensure, average incomes sub-

| stantially above these figures.

INFLATION AND EARNINGS These figures are interesting; but since they date back to the census information collected in mid 1961, their interest now can only be historical. For since then the cost of livjng has risen by 17 points, and average earn- ings have soared even more. Ay-

ee

erage weekly wages in Canada six years ago were 75.7. And the latest available figure cal- culated by the Dominion Bureau of: Statistics shows that that av- erage had risen to $94.92 six months ago.

Thus we might assume that the average family incomes re- ported by the 1961 census. would today be about 27 per cent high- er,in dollars; yet those dollars will have lost about half.that proportion, or say 13-per cent, in | purchasing power. And what in- flation has not eroded, the tax- gatherer has milked. - Statistics

‘just placed before the Parlia-

mentary Committee studying in- flation reveal that the taxes col- lected by federal, provincial and municipal governments have increased by a shocking 71 per cent since. 1960.

Québec Premier Daniel John- son is shifting into high gear in his drive to win more powers for his province. He told a press conference that Canada would be a better place for French Canadians if the CBC was ad- ministered jointly by ' represen- tatives of the federal Govern- ment, the. Quebec Government

{and French- Canadian minorities

living outside Quebec.

This posifion is consistent with Mr. Johnson’s concept of “two nations’ and his feelings that— short of a char- French- Canadian people can. only be respected if they have equality of decision in almost all fields.

But. Mr. Johnson ignores the extent to which French Canadin ae control French- language

in hoth radio. and television, Aside from the fact that the CBC president happens to be French Canadian, the French network (Radio Canada) operates with considerable inde-

pendence under a French- Cana-

From the context, tt woud be. reasonable to think that when Liewis Carroll wrote of the. “... voice of the Lobster’ and how “when the tide rise and

In an effort to lure customers back to the urban business areas, many cities have re- moved these coinfed sentinels from busy streets.
