This will in~ . wire a i'ctlerul expenditure of over sooootm mi will lie of grout. iiciialit to the Pi'nl'illt’i‘ The Show Govern- ment i to he commended on the convincing presentation it made of our claims in this connection. and the PEIII‘NVII timerumeiit on acquies- iniz in them.

We appreciate. too. the councsy of llr. Deschatclets in Visiting us on k musinn, and nl showing so much intoi't-st in our highway prob- lems generally. l-le intends acquaint- ing himself at first hand with the views of all the provinces relative to i Trans ' aria Highway projects, and he has indicated that these views l mav form part of the basis of 5 fed- eral conference on highways later in the rear. This is an excellent course for the ministor to pursue.

We trust, ton, that before Parlia- ment resumes Mr. Deschatclets Will oblige its in aiiothrr matter. Let him instruct his engineers to prepare a Comprehensive progress report of our Northiiniberland Strait cause- p-ay prmori. All that he was prepar- rrl to tell ii< at this time was that ronsiderahle information had been mined on the feasibility of the tin- llsrtakiiip. and that details were now 1min}.y sought as to the "specific kind of ri'nssiniz that would be most. feasihlo "

Piittinp the host Interpretation \\e can on this statement. it still falls far short of the assurance we roreivrd in liar. 1962, from the then Prime Minister of Canada, that the causeway would be built to include one and one-quarter miles of locks and hrirlut‘s costing $36.500.000; that the fill would cost 349.000.000 and the engineering work $20,000.. 000: that the work would employ 1.- 100 men for six years and provide $30,000.000 in wages: to which was added the information by the federal Works department that it would take two years to complete the planning stage and six years to do the job.

This is whore the project stood sixteen months ago. according to Prime Minister Diefenbaker. Surely we are entitled to know where we pie at today. and in the some con- ciiete terms. There can be no security risk involvod in giving the informa- tion. If Mr. Diefenbaker misled us in leZ—or was himself misled by his engineerso—wa have a right to know. if he was correct in hilt state- ment Ind the plans have since been changed. we have a right to know that too—Ind why.

We trust that our cabinet. repro- aonutive, Mr. MIcNaulrht. will add his weight to our plan for enlighten- ment on this subject, and that we shall [at the whole story from the nilniatar without further dolly.

Bonusing Party Splits

Supposing a lZ-memher repro- sentation for both of these group. in the House of Commons. does that mean that the taxpayers will have to foot the bill to the tune of another $4.000 a year? It looks like it. under the silly step taken by the Pearson

‘ ‘ Govemment last session in provid-

ing a salary of $4,000 for any leader with a Troop of a dozen or more members In the House.

This bonus puts a premium on parti' splits of this kind. and makes it harder than ever for the country to get back to the two-party system. Heretofore, an extra lndemnlty has been paid to only one non-govern- ment member—the Leader of the Opposition, Now every leader of I faction that can muster 12 adherents in Parliament pockets $4,000 over and illtlh‘e his $18,000 sttl'

The Ottawa Journal tiiiotes "some commentators" as saying that' the struggle between Messrs. Caoiiette and Thompson boils down to which of them would get, this windfall, If they both get it. It would he a joke on all of us. wouldn't it? And we ran thank Mr. Pearson for making it possible.

Pessimistic Reflections

The minister of education for Ontario has announced that text- books will be provided free to Oll- tario students in grades 9 and 10. starting iii 196-1. also that by 1966 he hopes free books will be supplied to students in grades ll, 12 and 13,

: This is being hailed in educational

quarters as an excellent move. and no doubt It is. But the fact that an election campaign is on in Ontario adds a touch of cynicism to the gov- ernment's concern about the matter at this time.

But Mr. Wintermrycr. the Liber- al Ontario leader, isn‘t letting the grass grow under his feet in malt. iniz his own election commitments. Ho has promised within 30 days of taking office to provide medical int surance for those on welfare, linem- ployed and over 6'. at a cost to til} taxpayers of $ 00.000. He has promised, within 18 months. to make medicare available to all; also to ex to n d education grants and to provide sufficient university facilities so that every student with a 50 per cent passing mark may attend university.

We the same old story. of course, in every election campaign. Our own lust provincial one, for example, when everything that wasn‘t nailed down went on the auction block. When will we grow up and cease clamoring {or handouts of this kind? The answer, probably. ill never. We're all fir-m believers in Santa Claus when we do our voting. though of course we all profess to see through the illusion and to be acting in the capacitv of purely disinterest- ed patriots. A politician friend of ours Isaures us that "there ain't no such animal“: and he's been around for a long time.
