“Time For A Showdown

Premier Campbell has.clarified the.

situation with regard to the hearings of the Canadian Maritime Commis- Sion into the proposed. increase in CNR ‘car~ ferry rates,’ following his meeting last week with the commis-

on chairman, Mr. Darling, A’matter how- ever, is the question of whether there is danger of the ferries being taken ‘Out of service in the event of a rail- way ‘strike. The Premier hasn’t stat- .ed whether he got any satisfaction:

he emphasised, in his statement, last

. Thursday, that if such danger exists

he proposed to-take the mattér “up directly with Prime Minister Pear-. gon.

Certainly with our farmers ‘being forced to” send their livestock to Moncton ta_be killed, as a result of

. the tieup in the Canada Packers

plarit in Charlottetown, this course

. would be fully justified. It is Ottawa’s

responsibility to keep the ferries in action regardless of strike conditions.

It will be recalled that in 1950 the -

‘union leaders were permitted to de- ‘cide this issue. After tieing up the |: service for a week it. was they—not

the government—who gave consent _ ‘to the Abegweit resuming opera-— ‘tions a few days before the rail-

way strike terminated. The union jJeaders had previously insisted that ‘the ferries would not move until the strike was raised, but an announce- ment that a special session of the ‘Legislature was being called was

release. In the meantime, however, we suffered serious loss and the bus- iness. of the ‘province was practically drought to_a standstill. _

* In January, 1963, Gail strike was threatened, we could get no satisfaction from Transport

_4Minister Chevrier and it was left to issue a-

CNR President Gordon to statement, to the effect that all neces-

~ Bary steps were being taken to in-

Bure continuation of the ferry service. ‘Welcome as this assurance was, it jeft much to be desired from. the paren of federal responsibility.

“At the special session called in 1950 the Legislature passed. a strong.

tresolution on this subject. In‘moving. _4t, Premier Jones pointed out that “ there was in the agreement between

the unions and the car ferry crews a section providing that the Govern- ment Vessels Discipline Act should take precedence over the agreement should the necessity arise, and this section should have been invoked.

There was also statutory provision for.

the Transport Department taking over the ferry operation in the event

of an emergency.

connection between Prince Edward Asland and the mainland which was will the Government consider ways and means of preventing such disruption of vital services: in future?’ Mr. Chevrier’s reply was that he would bring the matter to the attention of his cabinet ‘colleagues.

It is indeed time that the issue was

will settle it once and-for all.

New British Plan

Following British law, .Canada’s

~ Criminal Code provides that a jury “of 12 must bring in a unanimous ver-

dict. except in Alberta, the Yukon and Northwest Territories where six-

“men juries are permitted. The code

also permits the accused in Alberta to be tried without a jury if he so ut ‘the British law is now about to be changed, and ina man-

' majority of 10 to two would. suffice, | and presumably serve to speed up

retrials made necessary when juries could not unanimously agree on. a’ | man’s guilt or innocence. "The reason given for the proposed | change is that in trials involving

“members of organized gangs in. re-

| cent years, juries have been suborn-

ed. Under the “verdict of 12” system

it is necessarv to have only one brib- ed or frightened member to upset everything and secure acquittal. In such instances~a 10-2 majority may ‘| be a preferable system of adminis-

High Prairie. Hopes

All the news from Canada’s wheat front, reports the Winnipeg Free

- able. It cites in this connection the

_ liminary figures for the crop year

‘The most important figure is that concerning wheat exports. A total of 546 million bushels were.shipped out

10 million bushels above the 1963-64 figure. This is about double the ex- port considered satisfactory ten or 15 - years ago. —

With the new crop year now under . way,-there is no signof any slacken- ing in the wheat boom. Commitments to China. and the Soviet Union, as well as to regular customers, must be met. Wheat is flowing from farm ~to. country elevator, from country elevator to terminal, from terminal to ships that will carry it abroad.

Acréss the Prairies the 1966 crop is ripening and, at the moment, it looks like a good one. Everyone will ~be hoping that present hopes are ful- filled, for the Prairies are going to have to raise large crops each year from now on if Canada’s wheat cus- tomers are to be served. This is a matter. affecting our whole national economy, and it is rarely indeed that the prospects have looked so bright.

Status Of Teachers

Scheduled for adoption at the next UNESCO meeting in Paris in Sep- tember is an international draft Tecommendation on the status of teachers. The draft aims to improve the lot of teachers worldwide. None of it will be. legally binding on any nation, but it will lay out minimum standards recognized by the interna- tional community. The draft has taken several years and sundry meet- ings to hammer out.

Methods of ve

EVERY summer we:are ask- ed how:to keep cool when the 100 degrees. The hints that we can offer are all fairly well known. Air condi- tioning engineers seem to be the

OTTAWA REPORT

Hon. “Allan. MacEachen, Mini- ster of National Health and Welfare, writes __today's_Guest Column, pointing out that Par- liament is doing a betier job | than some of its critics suggest.

It is perhaps human nature for

In my own department, two major legisla- tive measures - the Health

Resources Fund and the Can- ada Assistance Plan - have been approved and a third - Medi- care - is well-on the way. These, I think, are three of the most im- portant items to come before Parliament in recent years, and despite the odd partisan flare-

. Dollar Was Solid Thing

Ottawa Journal

Four years ago Ottawa hum- med with the excitement of the “dollar crisis."’ The Conserva- tive Government had set the dollar value at 921 cents, U. S. including the assistance of international friends, were required to relieve pressure on the exchange fund.

Mr. Walter Gordon, who was to be the Liberal Finance Mini- ster in a year, called it a ‘‘panic reduction” in the value of the Canadian dollar which would: re- sult in increased prices of nece- ssities. He said it was part of the Tory ‘‘confusion, muddle and mismanagement.”
