Canada And Cuba

“Willing to wound, and yet afraid te strike” would seem to be the at- titude of Liberal spokesmen at Ottawa on the question of Canada’s trade relations with Cuba. They don’t openly say that they approve of an anti-Cuba embargo, or of the -

from Washington for the adoption of such a policy by Can- ada; they have dropped hints -

All it achieved at the re- eent 0.A.8. conference in Uruguay was a resolution, calling for imme- diate suspension on shipments of arms and implements -of war, a which Canada has consist- ently followed in the last several months.

In Canada’s case, we export so much more to Cuba than we. im- port that the trade forms a sub-

stantial drain on Cuba’s dollar re- . The United States has now banned imports from Cuba though continues to export food and s, and this cut in the flow of American dollars to Cuba could ect of greatly reducing

But this contingency hasn't arisen, and it is not an issue involved in the present dispute. In any case, Washington ma find that it is only at the beginning of its difficulties in turning to other Western countries that are. not Ynembers of the Organization

other dictionary compilers is the realization that Canadian English has developed in such a way as to become a distinct and recognizable variety of the mother tongue, Jt has British elements and American elements, and these have been in- fluenced and added to by contact with various Indian languages and, of course, with French. So it is that > some of the features of Canadian

' English are to be found in British

dictionaries, some in American dic- tionaries, and some, to date, in no dictionaries at all. No dictionary has, till now, attempted to compre- hend all these features in one book, or even in one. series. :

The new volumes are based on the Thorndike - Barnhart school dictionaries; and since this first one is for beginners, it contains 67 pages of lessons on the use of a dictionary, designed to teach, in a sequential and logical manner,” all the necessary skills for unravelling the: information in the text. The book itself runs to over 700 large pages, and is very moderately priced at $38.40. We commend it to ,the

: attention of our school authorities

- First-Rate Publicity - Prince Edward Island has been

in the limelight on many occasions in connection with its harness rac- ing events, but the decision of the United States Trotting Association to film the 1962 Gold Cup and Saucer Parade and the race that will be held on the same day for distribu- tion throughout North America

than anything that has heretofore been attempted along this line.

The wide distribution of these films, in private showings in the United States and Canada, will at- tract the attention that has been reserved for such big racing events as the Little Brown Jug and the Hambletonian, and will. set what is believed to be a precedent eo far as a harness race in Canada is con- cerned.

It is understood that the U.S. Trotting Association will also be filming the 1963 and 1964 parades and races during Old Home Week in Charlottetown, and in 1964 will release a film combining the high- lights of all three parades. This, too, will be given distribution throughout North America.

There is-no question about the great value of such. publicity to our Island tourist trade generally, and it should spur all concerned into making this year’s event the success its promoters confidently - predict it will be. It represents an achievement in community eco operation which is: certainly most inspiring, and upon which the mem- bers of the Gold Cup and Saucer mended for the leadership they have given. :

There is reason now to hope that this colorful event will become an established feature of our Island

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Contrasts In The Public Accounts’

Every Spring, Parliament ex- amines, prunes and approves the estimates of spending by each Government Department for the ensuing year. Also every Spring, Parliament debates and approves the national Budget, incorporating the Government’s

recommendations for taxing us |

sufficiently to meet all, or most,

of those estimated expenditures. | The Government's fiscal year |

begins on Ist April, and the Es- timates and Budget relaig, to the year just commencing.

Two years later the Govern- |

ment reports to Canadians the details of expenditures actually made - in contrast to the expen- ditures estimated - for that fis- eal year.

Thus last week the Govern- ment published the “Public Ac-

counts of Canada’’ for the year |

ended March 31, 1961.

In three books, containing ov- er 1,000 pages, are 5 pounds $8 ounces of tight - tics, showing expenditures of $5,- 958,000,000, or $331 for ‘every —_ woman and child in Can- ada,

The browser, especially the experienced browser who knows where to look, can find some fascinating contrasts in the Pub- lie Accounts,

For example, Canada spent | $1,288,578’ advertising for re- | eruits for our defence forces in

1961, and accepted less than one-

third of the 13,000 and odd appli- | cants — a startling contrast to

‘and the King’s Shilling. in the same year, our army spent $7,- | 602 for medals and decorations awarded to our soldiers,

For example again, Canadian taxpayers supported to the tune of $46,031 our highest paid am- | bassador, P. Dupuy who repre- ; sents us in France; in addition ue provide him with free ac- commodation in the form of one

I am: not unaware of the ter- rific force of tide, wind, and ice in the Strait of Northumberland. Last spring, a strong running tide and heavy wind drove a “miniature ice-berg”’ across a Sandbar, and cut a canal across the bar. That is the story I was told, and I have no reason to doubt it. But that happened on the side of the Island exposed to open Gulf. It would be different in the strait.

A factor that should be incen- tive to its early construction, is the many benefits which would be derived from it. Better ship- Ping facilities, A larger tourist business, and the elimination of

long delays at the terminals.

If some of our government of- ficials (who draw such large salaries) would take a drive. some time out through certain parts of this Island and while on this drive call in and ask the people for their honest opinions on living conditions, believe me they might get an eye opener.

They are offering 55 cents per (75 lb. bag) for potatoes, and

| eggs, what are they? They are

hardly worth the trouble of gathering. Now where is the farmer going to end up? And how is he going to pay his fer-

tilizer - and machinery bill at these ,big prices for his pro. duce?

Why are there so many vacant

farms here on P.E.I. which is supposed to be an ideal spot for farming? One just has to take a drive and can easily see for himself the buildings fall- ing down and the land beginning to grow up again. There will be a lot more of these vacant farms unless there is something cone sidered and acted upon. -’
