Correction, Please

Through an inexcusable oversight, we referred in these columns yester- day to Mr. Deschatelets as though he were still federal Minister of Public Works and should now be prepared {o present a full statement to Parlia- ment about the plans for making an early start on our causeway project. Mr. Deschatelets held that office last November when his colleague, Trans- port Minister Pickersgill, first ex- pressed hope that a start would be

ade on the project this year; but he hes since resigned from the cabinet and his portfolio has been taken over by Hon. Lucien Cardin, former ‘As- gociate Minister of National Defense and representative for the constitu- ency of Hull, Quebec. s Mr. Cardin is now the key man fn our causeway planning picture, and we promise him that we shan’t forget ft in future. May we suggest, with all due respect, that his predecessors finder both party governments were woefully negligent in keeping us in- formed on departmental policy in this fmportant matter, and that he should make it his business to repair this ission without further loss of time. ; We expected him to confirm Mr. ersgill’s statement that a start on causeway would be made this

r. But neither on this point nor

the question of including provision for rail service was he able to give any definite assurance in‘replying to @ query from Mr. MacLean in the of Commons yesterday. Nor

Mr. Pickersgill throw much

on the subject either. It seems

the proposal of the Island De-

t Company—which was to construct the causeway as a private and without- raiis—has

, been accepted nor rejected.”

&s we were before. 1. Last week Mr. MacNaught ex- pressed the view that a government could not turn over the responsibility for a project of such importance and Magnitude to a private concern, and . Be was quoted in yesterday's Guar dian as saying that the expected cost ‘of the project would be about

* $100,000,000—which is pretty close

fo former Prime Minister Diefen- baker's estimate of $105,000,000 back in April, 1952. At that time there was no question about the causeway got having facilities for rail traffic. _ At least we are entitled to an ex- of how the Transport Min- can be so sure that the project be started this year, if it will fake another month or six weeks to vital studies into its con- struction, and if the question of rail is still undetermined.

to be desired.

says Mr. Desbarats, “is akin to asking a Calgarian to compare his standard of living with a Baffin Is- lander's.” He notes some points that often escape notice. For instance Quebec has few medium-sized cities, with the result that Montreal domin- ates the economic life of the prov- ince than Toronto does that of Ontario. This brings up the problem of the “Anglostocracy.” the group who excite the particular ire of Rene Levesque. Mr. Desbarats treats this “garrison group” roughly. He quotes General Murray. an early English governor, as saving that their ancestors. the camp-followers from whom the pioneer English-speaking of Montreal sprung, were “the most immoral collection of men I ever knew.” This is an in- dication that the morals’ associated with contemporary Montreal may not have been an exclusively French con-

tribution

By 1851 54 per cent of the popu- lation of Montreal was English-speak- ing and there were as many English- speaking people in rural Quebec as there are today. But soon the bal- ance tipped and the French-speaking majority in Montreal steadily grew. According to Mr. Desbarats the

-Anglostocracy became steadily more ingrown and inward-looking. The au- thor pokes fun at the “learn-French” fad which blossomed in business cir- cles there for three or four vears, but now is dying.

Quebec City supplies the action in the “Quiet Revolution.”” while Mon- treal provides most of the noise, the author points out. French and Eng- lish speaking Canadians tend to get along better in Quebec, because the former are more assured.

All in all Mr. Desbarats believes that French Canadians and English Canadians are more alike than differ- ent and the key to any mystery in their relationship is a sincere effort to see each other as reasonable peo- ple driven by the same motives to- ward the same ends.

Break For Our Farmers

It is reassuring to note, on the authority of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, that cash income from farming operations’in this province rose by almost $7,000,000 in 1964 over the 1963 figures, reaching a total income, exclusive of supple- mentary payments,—of $32,740,000. This would appear to be the biggest increase, on a percentage basis, of

any province in Canada. In New |

Brunswick there was an increase ot over $6 million, but a decrease of some $2 million in Nova Scotia. . ___ For all Canada, farm cash income rose 8.5 per cent in 1964 to $3,455,-

800,000 from the previous year’s |

“record high of $3,184,500,000. This

could be attributed for the most part, |

says the Bureau report, to substan- tial increases in wheat marketing and

' participation payments by the wheat

board. But it is worth noting that re- turns on oilseed crops, potatoes, bar- ley, fruits, vegetables, hogs and dairy products also were higher. Total re- turns. from poultry products and tobacco were lower.

St. Patrick’s Day

Today the sons of Old Erin. at home and abroad, are honoring their patron saint, who is no legendary figure but one of the greatest Christ-

ian missionaries of all time. Obser- ,

vance of his anniversary has been a proud tradition of the Benevolent Irish Society here since its formation back in 1825, and it is one in which all our citizens have taken keen in- terest. This year is no exception. The customary dramatic entertainment is being given at the Basilica Recrea- tion Centre, and there will be a large turnout this morning for the church parade to St. Dunstan's in which proper emphasis will be placed on the religious aspect of the celebration. It is worth recalling that through- out the 140 years of its existence the B.I.S. has pursued the same laudable objectives of relief of the poor, the perpetuation of Irish national senti- ment, and the performance of works

OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson Need For Creating Atlantic Community.

The battle to create a strong and true Atlantic Community has been going on for 16 years. This plan to provide for the common defence and common prosperity of the western world also offers otherwise unattain- able strength to aid and woo the developing nations of . the world. It has properly beer call- ed the noblest political dream of the Twentieth Century: it is without doubt the best hope for mankind hrough the Twentieth and succeeding cenuries

Sixteen years ago, a widely respected Canadian diplomat said that this plan held out the promise of an economic and even a political commonwealth of the western world. ‘“‘In_ this jet-propelled atomic age, noth- ing less will do.” he added That Canadian was Mike Pearson

Today and for many years

back Mike Pearson and every

other Canadian ‘statesman has neglected this plan—prob- ably on the short-sighted view that there are no voters in the Atlantic, and Canadians are de- manding bread and circuses to- day rather than security and life itself for our children.

The US Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, and his Canadian counterpart, Foreign Minister Paul Martin, also addressed the meeting.

This was a golden opportunity for Canada and Paul Martin to sound a.clarion call nation suspects Canada of plan- ning to dominate either the al- liance or the world; so Canada could take a lead in proposing .the means whereby free men

part of our national interest to the general interest of the al- liance as a whole.’ Sixteen years ago this concept was more ¢ironety expressed when Mike earson called for co-operation within the Atlantic alliance in the economic and political fields.

A federation of the nations bordering the North Atlantic ocean could have one supra- government handling defence and diplomatic relations, and co-ordinating trade within that Atlantic Common Market. Each member-nation, whether big like U.S.A. or tiny like Luxembourg, would be self-governing in dom- estic affairs.

This pattern is made to order for today’s Canada; it is surpris- ing that Ottawa is not vigorous- ly urging it. Quebec could be a member, so could other region- al Canadian groupings. each in- ternally self-governing yet all - loosely federated with the rest of the alliance. But if the Atian- tie concept fades. our destiny is

inevitably absorption and disap-

pearance within the U.S.A.

Reds At Loggerheads

By Arch MacKenzie Canadian Press Staff Writer

One of the major risks faced by the United States in increas- . ing its military action in Viet Nam has been the possibility of the Soviet Union and China get- ting back on the same ideologi- cal wavelength

But the latest bout of name-

calling between the two sCom- munjft giants—over. the stern Soviet handling of a recent

demonstration against the US. Embassy in Moscow—indicates the .two are farther apart than at any time since the ouster of Nikita S. Khrushchev as Soviet leader

The missile-throwing demon- stration against the Embassy, mainly by Chinese and African students protesting US. air at- tacks on North Viet Nam, was broken up by Russian soldiers and mounted police.

The Chinese charged Soviet

brutality against the demon- strators. a charge the Rus- sians denied.

CHINESE TRIUMPH?

The Chinese also denounced the Soviet action as a triumph for their hard anti-imperialist

line--over the Khrushchev-type ©

policy of peaceful coexistence with the West

China has demanded nothing short of all-out Soviet adher- ence to its violent’ anti-Ameri, can stand ;

One question arises: How

much farther can the new So- viet leaders go in tacit accept- ance of stage-by-stage Amer- can acceleration of the US. military pressure on Commu- nist North Viet Nam

The acceleration of that mili- tary effort recently prompted George Kennan, former senior US. career diplomat and au- thority on Sino-Soviet affairs. ‘0 caution that American pdlicy irft Viet Nam might well force a reconciliation of the two Com- munist powers.

AWARE OF HAZARD

The US. itself has been keenly aware of the hazard, go- ing out of its way to seek ‘o explain its actions and goals to the Soviet Union

Peking has turned the Mos- cow Embassy event jnto a pro- aganda show at home. It has recalled some ‘students for that purpose, claiming they could not get Soviet medical atten. tion for wounds inflicted by So- viet authorities. An unprece- dented demonstration before the Soviet Embassy in Peking was staged and a hostile diplo matic note. dispatched

Russia responded in equally- angry mood. rejecting the charges and-accusing Peking of an ‘exténsive slander cam- paign’’ and ‘‘premediated prov-

| Straws In

Those who believe that a gen- eral-election is on the way may find some evidence in the leaf- lets that are being distributed by the Liberal Federation of Can- ada, from their Ottawa head- quarters

The leaflets do not say a word even by way of defence. about some of the Government’ _re- cent and present troubles. The accent is on the positive. ‘‘Can- ada Moves Forward. Achieve- ment, 1964,"’ runs the heading.

As the reader turns the pages. he is informed -that 1964 was one of the best years in Canada’s history More Canadians are at

| work, producing more, earning more, buying more. The ‘percen- tage of the labor force that is employed is rising

The Government has improv- ed security for older people. It has sponsored the Canada Pen- sion Plan. It has made Confed- eration work. It has inaugurat- ed defence policies that make sense. It has brought peace to the Great Lakes.

All these, and many more things, hath it done. Bat the best is yet to be. ‘‘In this spir- it,’ the leaflet concludes, ‘‘the Liberal government, which has already fulfilled a great part of

| its four-year program, is’ deter- mined to press on steadi'y with

the further measures, which -vill continue economic progress, create more jobs. provide nore opportunities and better security for Canadians. and help our country towards greater achie- vements.”

It isy in other words, the best of all possible governments, ac-

| tively creating the best of all | possible worlds.

In the same spirit the Minis- ter of Labor, Mr. Allan Maec- Eachen, has addressed a meet- ing of the York North Liberal Association at Richmond Hil! in Ontario. He was saying that the government has done so much sO marvetiousty well that Par- lament can now afford to take time off to enjoy the luxury of discussing Lucien Rivard’s jail- break. ‘‘Unemployment prob- lems no longer dominate Parlia- ment's discussions,” said Mr. MacEachen. “The atmosphere

|in Ottawa is entirely changed. We are allowed the luxury of talking about the latest prisoner escaping from jail.”

It is really wonderful when Parliament can afford a few lit- tle luxuries of this kind. And when members of the cabinet start talking that way, who can blame people for wondering

| about straws in the wind
