ll Quebec Goes...
The looting of an al'm0I‘.\' in Montreal on Thursday has revived memories of the wave of terrorist activities in that area from March to May of last year, and has prompt- ed the authorities to warn of the danger of a new outbreak by young extremists seeking to turn Quebec into an independent state. The Mon- treal police department has put its recently organized squad of trouble- shooters on the .l0b. and Defense Minister Hellyer has ordered a full investigation by his department into the theft of arms and ammu- nition.
Such lawless activities are shock- ing to the great, bod_v of Quebec people. regardless of any grievances they may hold with respect to the status of their province under Con- federation. It is well for the rest of us to remember this. and not allow such incidents to prejudice our views on a subject of cardinal im- portance to our national existence.
Just. how serious the problem is may be gathered from the attitude, voiced in niany quarters. against any further efforts to reconcile the two races in a single state. Few of those who talk this way. how- ever. have stopped to think of the consequences that would result from such a course.
WOULD SPELL DISASTER- This point was discussed the other day in the Winnipeg Free Press by Canada's best known journalist. Mr. Bruce. I-Iutchison. who citexs con- vinoing grounds for maintaining that if Canada is broken in the mid- dle by Quebec's departure. for what- ever reasons. the whole structure would disintegrate. Not, two nations —or three. or four--would be left. but no nation at all north of the -49th parallel.
If this conclusion is accepted. what are up to do about the present quarrel? Three possible courses are suggested:
:'~I'he English-speaking provinces
could force their will on Quebec, if I
neoéssary by threat. of physical force. Then. if Quebec decides to secede, we could wage a civil war against it.. as Lincoln waged war )n the American Confederacy. No significant. group of English-speak- ng Canadians, however, would un- lertake such a war and. if they did. he United Nations would instantly ntervene to keep the peace and Can- da would become a white Congo.
Another solution. as favored by
lie. would be to set up two separ- te nations. English-speaking an d _ ‘tench. which would delegate a few
I
.; lfnctions like defense to a central
arliament representing both equal- v and subject to their unilateral etoes.
:2 THE wnoxc COURSE-—A two-
eaded constitutional monster of no sort. imprisoned in a. double zrait-jacket. hardly looks practi-
ll. Given the choice. most, English-
} nalring Canadians would rightly
. ‘°efer to join a single American na- on because with all its defects. it
indeed a nation and not a gibber.

The last possibility is to do in

my the Inter course. "But w: need not expect quick results." he adds. “On the contrary. we must expect I period of acute irritation and ten- sion, tormented on one side by tho Lavesques of Quebec, and, on the other. by English-speaking Cam. dians who tell Quebec to accept their terms or leave Canada with- out realizing the consequences to themselves." _
in fact. there are only two al- ternatives left open to us. We must re-unite a single nation or have none. That is why we cannot afford to allow such incidents as occurred in Montreal this week to affect our thinking. The issue is much too im- portant for that.
Seaway Problem
Reference was made in these columns yesterday to_ the serious mainlenace problem which the St. Lawrence Seaway is facing. It is hard to get at the details, but here is the situation as given in an American exchange.
Though tonnage through the Seaway has been mounting, it has come nowhere near the rosy esti- mates of its proponents. The total of $9.9 million tons moved in the first four years of operation is 34 million tons less than estimated for the purpose_ of establishing toll charges. This has produced a lag of $5 million in net revenues. The US. Department of Agriculture has concluded ill a market research study that the goal of 50 million tons estimated to be reached in 1968 will not be attained until the 1970's.
The Seaway was to pay its own way and not be an additional drag on taxpayers of both countries. Yet the combined deficit of the United Sta tes and Canadian operation agencies for the first four years
was over $85 million. This is equiv- '
alent t.o a subsidy of 39 cents for each ton of revenue cargo shipped through the Seaway. And this is al- most entirely to foreign shipping.
The railroads of both nations are being weakened to maintain this subsidy system. and Seaway interests are urging that the tolls be further reduced. instead of being set at a level to make the’ project pay its own way.
Shoe On Other Fool
Sir Anthony Eden. who was re- buked by the United States when he attempted to defend or retake the Suez Canal from President Nas- ser. may be getting some sardonic satisfaction over the present Pan- ama Canal situation. Thus com- ments Letter-Review. an interest. ing monthly publication issued by the Review Company of Fort Erie Limited. But Britishers generally. it would seem. are taking a much more sympathetic view of Uncle Sam's difficulties in Panama than Americans showed when the shoe was on the other foot.
The history of Panama and of the Canal Zone is not a happy one. but at this time it is obvious that the United States must assert its authority over the region and also—- it is hoped—restrain trigger-happy guards wearing the uniform of the United States.
One thing evident, at any rate. is the absence of British criticism that might conceivably add to the friction between Washington and the Panamanians. The odious com- parision of Suez is not being drawn. Though the temptation to do so in London must be very strong. it is being resisted in the interests of world peace and stability.
EDITORIAL NOTES
Premier Show has described as satisfactory his talks with ARDA director A. T. Davidson to discuss federal financial assistance that may be available for this province's resources development program. Let's hope that this amicable under- standing will continue. We can’t af- ford to be at logger-heads with Ottawa on this matter. in any case.

Wacky Season Of Political Hoopla
Richard Jack:on In the Fort William Times-Journal
Comcs now the wonderfully wacky season of political hoop- la at Ottawa. Fun and games when the party Brass and Grass fralernize at the conventions and the national rallie:.
The Conservatives are on stage here next week with their extravaganza and February is due to and with a bang in a two- day Liberal whoop-up.
The Big Bronze of both par- ties — Mike and Dief. as they're familiarly called by the troops at these hruhahas -— let i be known, with straight faces. that the object of the exercise is to write what's usually referred to as a positive program for poll- tical action.

The thing is rigidly styli7,ed.[ Almost like a folk festival. which perhaps in a sense. it is.
A touch of cloak and daggeri is almost routine as the rebels: and the dissidents — and they} have them in every party — plot ‘ to undermine the Brass of the; and find themselves caught up‘ in counter-plots. 5

Another Regime Toppled
By Harold
Canadian Pm:
The war in South Viet Nam seem: to have turned info a never-ending cancer. rooted in policies of world power: re- mote from the local culture and feeding on the exhaustion and torture of a population that has seen no surcease from battle for almost‘two decades.
Once more the Saigon regime has been toppled. this time by a young field commander much admired by American officials. While the United States pro- fesses to have been surprised by this latest coup, the initial mild reaction in Washington ap- pears to indicate there is more to U.S. involvement than offl- . cials care to disclose.
American money supports the South Vietnamese army. sup- plies it and feeds it. American troops transport. bolster and advise the field forces. And American intelligence is - ported to be operating both on the military and political fronts in that war-plagued country.
It would be difficult. there- fore, to ignore the Moscow claim that the American hand was as deep in this coup as it was in the one last November that removed Diem who had become repugnant to the Budd- hists and an embarrassment to Washing n, L ALLEGE PLOT ‘
