The House Opens

With the Legislature preparing to open. and big guns in full blast in the federal eleution campaign, one would have to be a hermit crab to find a safe retreat from politics theSe days. This will be the first session since the I'e-clection of the Shaw Government last December; and since it has been intimated that the Speech from the Throne will contain almost half as few paragraphs as the last Speech, we may expect that the legislation will not be too heavy. It will adjourn in early April to give members a chance to participate in the federal contest, so there will be no excuse for them dragging federal issues into their legislative speeches.

One matter in which the House will be expected to concern itself seriously is electoral reform. The DesRoche Commission report on this matter was left high and dry when the House prorogued last year. Its recommendations should be fully discussed on this occasion, and legis- lation brought in to implement those measures that are deemed workable and desirable.

With the Liberals holding 11 of the 30 seats, they will form the largest Opposition group since the election of 1931 when 12 Liberals were returned as against 18 Con- servatives. Liberal Leader Matheson is an experinced parliamentarian, and he has a contingent under him which should prove effective in the discharge of duties which cannrt be underlined too strongly in our system of democratic government.

The Government, too, has ac- quired experience In power, and should profit by it. Though it lost one of its ablest. men in the defeat of former Attorney General Mc- Quaid, it certainly is not short of talent either in the cabinet or among its supporters. It is pledged to pro- gressive measures in the interests of the Province, and it will be on the best way of promoting these inter- ests that attention will be centred.

Since the last session opened, both party leaders came through serious bouts of illness, and are now in fine condition again. We trust that they will continue to en- joy good health, and not get too much involved in the kind of con- troversy that would bring on a re- lapse. Politics is serious business, but so is the business of keeping hale and hearty. We wish. for both of them, a continuance of the frame of mind that will be conducive to longevity.

Prime Minister's Visit 1 Regardless of politics, we are sure that all our people will extend c cordial welcome today to Prime Minister Diet‘enbaker and Mrs. Diefenbaker. The Prime Minister’s tchedule is-a crowded one. He will speak at Summerside In the morn- Ing, at Morel] In the afternoon and it Charlottetown In the evening, leaving little time for rest and none for recreation. Having covered the three counties In this manner, he trill be off for other parts. taking In so many constituencies us he. can throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion. Such are the de- mend: on political leaders In elect- lIon campaigns today. Fast/er trans- portation methods enable them to m more ground than their pre- ,rs did, but. the pace Is a ‘ flint one and It is surprising how, ' the circumstances, they are able

his stats of health. He says It was never better, and certainly his ac- tivities, since the campaign began, bear out this assertion. Nobody seems to be worrying about Mr. Pearson’s health, or Mr. Douglas‘s, or Mr. Thompson’s, but they too have our sympathy in the strain they are undergoing. They haven’t been shouldered with the responsi- bility of government in these stress- ful times, but they’re as busy as beavers showing how much better they could, carry the burden than the man who has been under it.

This will be the Prime Minister’s first visit here since the campaign last year, when he told a cheer- ing crowd in Charlottetown that “since Investigations have shown that a Causeway is feasible both from an economic and engineering standpoint, we are proceeding with it.” Other issues have shoved this matter into the background in this campaign, but that Causeway an- nouncement stands as a guarantee of good faith to this Province. and we would be ungrateful if we didn’t acknowledge it.

We have benefited from other policies of the Diefenbaker Govern- ment, about which its opponents have precious little to say. But there are other issues, It is claimed, to which the Government hasn't meas- ured up. We ourselves have been perturbed by the evidences of dis- satisfaction with Mr. Diefenbaker's leadership in quarters where sup- port Would seem to be essential. by desertions from his Cabinet. and also—we must say—by the Prime Minister’s own attitude of self- righteousness which smacks too much of the arrogance that brought down the Liberal administration in 1957.

As one commentator has ob- served, however. Mr. Dicfenbaker has a way of winning more support when he is defending himself with his back against the wall than when he seems to be the monarch of all he surveys. He’s drawn enthusiastic audiences wherever he has spoken in this campaign, and we don‘t think his Prince Edward Island meetings today will be‘an exception.

British Labor Appeal

The Labor party in England is now busin engaged in preparing for a general election, and one platform of its campaign takes on a new angle. It either a new or a modernized home for every family in Great Britain.

To achieve its proposed goal, the party is to find out how many homes in Britain are worth pre- serving and how many must be cleared away as slums. Landlords will be invited to improve their houses with the aid of grants, or sell them to the local council which will do the work.

A document prepared by the party gives a somewhat grim pic- ture of Britain’s housing as it is today. Nearly half of the homes which are inhabited——about seven million-—were built; before the First World War. About 3,500,000 were built before the year 1875 and two million were built before the year 1850. It is estimated that some 15 million people are living in houses that are completely without hot water, baths or kitchens.

The Labor party figures that at the present rate of improvement, private landlords will take over a century to provide all homes with baths if the job is left to them. And so it proposes, if it gets into power, to speed up the job. A big order, and a big issue that could swing a lot of votes.

. - EDITORIAL NOTES

Hon. Paul Hellyer has followed Hon. Paul Martin in his campaign visit to the Province in the interests of the Liberal party, and today we are to be visited by another top- ranking Liberal spokesman, Miss Judy LaMarsh, of Niagara Falls, who Is a. barrister—and a very able one. Miss LaMarsh won her polit- ical spurs In a by-election in 0c— bober, 1960, and has taken an ag- gressive part In Commons debates since that time. Her speeches In Mount Stewart and Charlottetown should be worth hearing.

Wheat Floor Price And World Market

How is the cost of your bread V

and the level of your taxes af- focch by the price of No. 1 Nor- thern wheat? A Liberal immediately set a floor price of $2 per bushel for this top grade of wheat. Mr Pearson said when

addressing a political rally on ‘

the Prairies.

What would this election pm i you? The Prairie farmers are enjoying very high 3

being paid to overproduce a costly spread called butter. FLOOR PRICE N0 BOOST Late in 1961 the price for our top quality wheat rose to around $1.95 per bushel. Agriculture De- partment officials here point out that it has been between that fiture and $2 since the gradual lowering of the exchange value the Canadian dollar gave It that boost. Under the Interna- tional Wheat Agreement. the price is 51.62% to $2.02“: in U. S. A.

Thus Mr. Pearson's promise of a $2 floor price would not signi- ficantly improve upon the me sent price attained under the Conservative Government.

This price normally means the g

price to buyers. in storage at Fort William. From that price,

government would ‘

one must deduct the cost of ad- I ministering and operating the Canadian Wheat Board - say 5 cents per bushel: the cost of handling the grain at the prairie elevator - say 5 cents per bushel; ‘and the cost of freighting the

grain from the Prairies to the elevators at the Lakehead - 24 cents per 100 pounds of wheat from central Saskatchewan - say 14 cents per bushel.

Thus. of the $2 price at the I Lakehead, the farmer in Saskat- l chewan receives about $1.76. Translated into terms of the i 25 cent price for a 24 ounce loaf of bread in your local grocetoria. , wheat prices work out this way. I One bushel of wheat, weighing I 60 pounds. yields 43% pounds of i flour of baker's grade - worth 71.5 . cents per pound plus 13”: pounds iof by—products, such as animal ‘fecd. That amount of baker's flour will yield, when admixed an aked. 65 pounds of bread. I Thus $2 worth of Prairie wheat 1 yields approximately $3.06 worth [ of flour. which in turn becomes

I $10.83 worth of bread.

Mr. Pearson‘s promise to the Prairie farmers. If put Into ef- fect. would make little present difference to the farmer's cash income. nor to the cost of your bread today. But It would be a form of insurance to the farmer against a slump in world wheat prices.

Meanwhile. our farmers c an look forward to a record final payment on their 1961-1962 wheat pool. which has just been closed out. They received an Initial pay- ment of $1.40 per bushel when delivering their grain; then they received a 10 cent adjustment; now, within the next’month pro- bably. they should receive che- ques covering the ﬁnal payment. which predictably may be in the neighbourhood of a r e c o r d of 45 cents per bushel. A contribu- bory factor to this high pay- ment has 0 course been the bonanza which has helped all Ca- nadian exporters. namely the re- duction of the exchange value of the Canadian dollar which ha 5 done so much to help Canada compete in world markets.

LIFE AT ITS BEST

Sin—In listening to a very In- teresting panel discussion "Gate- ways of 1963" on Saturday eve ning. it seemed to me that a great confusion exists as to the why. where. and how of agricul- tural education. I was born on a

farm "umpty" years ago. And i

as I reminisce and look back to the thrill of spring pla ntlng. ploughing. and harrowing—the smell of new upturned earth, and the hopes of such wonder- ful things to come.

It was life at Its best. The family stayed together. worked together. prayer together and happiness r e i g n e d supreme. Truth abounding. health and energy. c “faced the music"; and got things done, planting by hand, sowing graln by hand. Barn compost, (no expensive fert'lizerl, and all in readiness for the "good earth" to do its share. In the evening was garden lime, hoes. rakes. shov- els. had to "face It" and do their bit. Much energy and hope were given to that job also. Mealtime was an event: Mothers lavdening the tables with stews, puddings, pies, pastrys galore and what appetites. No vitamins needed there.

Come Autumn our own fresh beef, pork. lamb of all sorts to lay waste to. Apples. cherries and fruit growing In the orchard and begging to be taken from trees. Those years were produc- tive 'and happy years. No fear of Government Inspection, nor jurlsdiction. nor expenslve ma- chinery. The polalo patch was a great “come hither" eye for the Inspector. and on observing a dlfferent "colored stalk" In the bunch, which seed "sneak- ed In" the basket (unbeknownst) be promptly condemned the whole field for such a bold In- trusion. Imagine!

"Today the small farmer Is lost in the turmoil and upheaval. Pressure. rules, laws and sm.‘ are forclng hIm out. He Is afraid to go In his ﬁeld with horses and machinery for to or of crltlclsm. etc. He In so far he- hind the times," they say.

lch'inery of today to fill his land. 380 where does he go and what lis the outcome?

1 The struggle today oven with handouts and pensions is very gscrious. A real red-blooded man gwould much prefer to earn his ‘own bread and butter independ- ently and by the “sweat of hls :brow." such handouts break 1 down a man s morale. Something :"not so good" is happening to Ithe farmer and the world. He Is iour bread basket and life de- §pcnds solely on him for food nourishment, etc.

If I am not mistaken “some- jone has missed the boat" along Itho way. A real natural farmer 4 needs no MA or BA In be a suc- icessful one. He is happy work- :Ing with the land that God pro- lvldcd and Is Inspired to do his best. But the old world has changed and progress must go

on at any cost. \ I am. Sir. etc. ARY B. GAVIN Charlottetown

all reports. that both sides were on the verge of some sort 0 concrete progress. Optimism. however. has always been rude- ly dashed to the ground as one thing or another caused talks to be broken off.

Now, once again, there ap- pears to be room for some measure of agreement between the main parties. The area con- cerns on-site Inspections of Rus- sian territory. It will be re- membered that it wasn't too long ago that Russia refused to consider this kind of police ac- tlon. Now, according to Gevevs reports. she Is willing to grant

two or three on-slte inspections

In Russian territory a year. The Western p o w e r s have come down considerably in their demands, too. Originally. 12 to 20 inspections a year were re- quested. This has now been scaled down to eight to ten I

But there progress stops. The two are apparently separated on this issue by no more than by six to seven on-site inspections on Russian soil. The Russians, now that they have compromised I bit, have accused the Western powers of deliberately stalling.

The Western allies deny this.

The main difficulty seems to be that the Western allies are willing to permit virtually un- limited onclte inspection of their own territory once a test ban treaty Is concluded. They ob- viously feel Russia, if she Is negotiating In good faith, should be willing do as much. The fear Is that If the Russlans me not prepared to reciprocate, It must be because they have something to hide.

This may be true, but at the same tlme, would If not be bet- ter to have a base upon which to build further progress? Two or three oil-site Inspections In Rus- ola are better Ill-n none, even If they are not as satisfactory as eight or ten. cs prln- prle has been established and accepted In practice, It should be possible to go on from there. Searching for what our side con- siders perfection In one glant step seems to be lesdlng no where. A piecemeal oppde would seem worth attempting.

When Mr. Real Csouette open- ed the Social Credit election campaign be extended an Invita- tion to those who question Social Credit monetary theory:

"Let them have the courage to Instruct themselves In Social Credit.”

Mr. Eric W. Kierans had the courage, and the qualIfIcatIons. for he Is an economist. president of the Montreal and Canadian Stock Exchanges and former professor of Finance and Direc- tor of the School of Commerce of McGill University.

So he accepted Mr. Caouette‘s Invitation enthusiastically. as he proved a few days later by quoting chapter and verse from William Aberhart's Sacla Credit Manual, in a speech to the Richelieu Club at Chlc- outimI, Que.

WITH FRENCH SOCIALIST Mr. Kierans pointed out that. the idea of free credit did not begin with Social Credit but with a French socialist, Pierre Jos- eph Proudhon, who, like his con- temporary Karl Marx, wanted to abolish private property. Un- llke Marx. who favored revolu~ tlon, “Proudhon urged the aboli- tion of property by the peaceful means of granting free credit" which would have the effect of “destroying the value of money and savings."

Mr. Klernns said that unlike Proudhon. who knew that free credit would destroy property. "... Social Credit th eory states that the free credit to be distributed Is backed by the re- sources of the nation. In other words, we have plenty of raw materials, farm capaclty and power which can guarantee the value of the new money.

“In his Social Credit Manual. 1935, Mr. Aberhart explained the

.—

'Everyfhing To Lose’

Ottawa Journal

‘Baslc System of Dividends and the Encouragement of Indivi- dual Enterprise‘ as follows: The state shall be viewed by Its clti- zens as a gigantic joint- stock company with the resources of the province behind its credit‘."

The trouble with this theory. Mr. Kierans explalned. Is that a resource does not have value just because it cxlsts but only if if is scarce. If It is useful and if it can be brought to market economically.

“The value of a social credit or national dividend will come from the decreasing value of ex- isting property."

In Canada in 1961. In round figures. the gross national pro- duct was $37 billions and total spending for private consump- tion was $24 billions. To Mr. Caouette that means there is a $13 billion gap between produc- tion and purchasing power. OVERLOOKED

What Mr. Caouette overlooks. Mr. Kierans explained. Is that In 1961 goverhment spending amounted to $7 billions and busi- ness spending on plant and equipment $6 billions. which add up to $13 billions.

There Is no gap. Creation of credit to fill a nonexistent $13 billion gap In purchasing power would mean runaway Inflation and “a decline in our ability to compete. unemployment a n shutdown as we price ourselves out of the market." Mr. Kierans said:

“You have everything to lose! The man of means will see his savings decline in value——the worker will buy less with his :wages—even the unemployed Iwill have less reason to hope as rising costs and Inflation deprive us of markets and create more Iunemployment and shutdowns."

Efﬁciency may be necessary. But Inefflciency may be very human and very tolerant. And there is something attractive In two recent examples of Ineffic- Ient eccentricity that have been tolerated by the Britlsh Rall-

ways.

When Britain's railways were built In the last century. many lines had to cross ground owned by great landowners. And in re- turn for Ir land. the owners were given a privilege—they could stop the trains on their land when they wanted to take a trsln journey. 9 family is mentloned that still uses the prI-

No Train For 34 Years

ient eccentricity is even more attractive. Harry Bardley is the porter at Shipston railway sta- tion. He w o r k 5 there all day from eight to five. But no pas- senger train has stopped at Ship- ston for 34 y e a r 5. And it has con a few years since any freight train 5 stopped there either.

But even in Britain ineffic‘ iency seems to be pushing priv- Ilege aside. Soon, according to a bill that 15 going through Par. liament. the trains will no longer make special stops for great landowners on their way In Bournemouth. And as for Harry,

vllege. When they stop the ex- press Iraln for Bournemouth II " to delayed for five minutes.

The other example of Inefflc-

the official comment is: "We

are looking for further employ- ent for this man." That's what

comes of the cult of efficiency.

New Brunswick Is vItally Inter- ested In a huge power develop- ment project being consldered in the State of Mslne. Its loca- tion. at Cross Rock on the St. John River, Is about 25 miles beyond the tip of the "Pan- handle" of Madawaska County.
