‘Mr. Greene’s Safari

As his first maior-chore since, g over the federal agriculture rtfolio, Mr.. Greene undertook a ari last week through the western ovinces. Being the first easterner in er half a century to.hold this office, says he didn’t expect to get “all e answers” in one trip, but-.it has ehabled him to meet western farm organization. leaders and get acquaint- {2 oes ‘He appears . haye made’a favorable im on. Certainly he ‘has-been in a ~-manner- righ ‘shows. that_he means on $ i Following nis appointment Mr. Greene said one of the problems the government must decide was whether. the family farm is to be the basis of our agricultural economy—-perhaps with “greater security” —or whether ebrporate production was to be the of the future. He appears to have hed: his own conclusions on this t, for in-a-statement in Vancouver predicted that higher food prices must come to keep farming out. of the “Brasp of a few big corporations.

He said he didn’t like the way the game is played in Parliament—using up time for “nonsensical partisan de-

~ But he gave most*of his-time at the press conference to,the family farm which, he said, has given Can-

est food in the world. “Would'we be better’ off if a very few people with large holdings had control of the “ country?” he demanded. The switch to “great corporate farms” woul d- come, he warned, unless something was done. Canadians would have to

prices at the grocery stores.

It’s. been a long time since’ we heard such outspoken statements from a federal minister. Mr. Greepe may be heading for a lot of trouble when ' Parliament meets, but he seems con-

«Padding The Payroll —

At the rate things are going, notes the Hamilton Spectator, the Liberal MP who is paid only $18,000 yearly | will soon be in the minority. Forty- seven of the 131 Liberal members are

-| paid extra, for one “Soon six more will be added. The 26 cabinet ministers receive | $15,000 salary and a $2,000'car al- lowance with the exception of the. _ minister’ without portfolio whose sal- ary is $7,500. Sixteen of these minis- ters now. have parliamentary secre- | taries who receive $4,000. The | Speaker of the House gets a $9,000 salary, $1,000 car allowance and is entitled to $3,000 yearly “in lieu of. —tesidence.”- The Deputy ‘Soeaker’s ‘salagy As

$6,000 and he receives an additional $1,500 “in lieu of apartments.’’ The Deputy Chairman of Committees gets $2,000 as an “annual allowance” and finally the Chief Government Whip is ' paid a salary of $4,000.

Now it-is reported-that Mr. Pear- son intends to seek legislation in- creasing the number of parliamentary - Secretaries and adding another item in the budget. Serious opposition. to the’ move is regarded as “unlikely.”

Soener_.or la predicts the somebody will de- cide to pay the committee chairmen something extra. Then it will fot be beyond the bounds of possibility that | over 50 per cent of the elected mem- bers of the governing party will be paid considerably more than the fat salary and expense allowance the average citizen thinks they receive.

It’s time a‘ halt was called to this kind of thing. For our population, we have probably the most expensive government in the world: The aim should be to cut down its operational costs, not increase them. Salary grabs have gone far enough in all con- science. This is one issue.on which we hope Mr. Diefenbaker will’ sound off loud and long. :
