American can to be involved in a triffic accident at some time, and the actuarial estimate for child- ren under 10 is that every one of - them will either die or be injured in traffic accidents. Bad as this record is, Canada’s _ figures have been almost twice as high on a per capita basis, and this can hardly justify the complacency which is still being shown by those who should be ‘giving a lead in changing public opinion. For accord- _ing to one of the official spokesmen at the seminar, the reason why minimum fines for a number of traf- “fie offences have not been increased is that magistrates: very seldom impose the maximum fine, or indeed anything over the minimum fine.

Viet Nam. . - It is said that many Australians, none of them remotely extreme left- ists, are horrified by the cruelty of the war in Viet Nam and feel that allied intervention has done more harm than. good. But they wanted to know how a Labor government would defend Australia without America’s. help and what Labor thinks in posi- tive terms the Allies can do in Viet Nam except fight on. While deplor- ing the fearful cost.of the war, they” did not want.the Americans to give "up and go home nor Australia to pull out her troops, leaving the United States to fight on alone. Yet this was Labor’s policy, and Prime Minis- ter Holt scored it effectively. __To the question of whether the gov-__ ‘ernment, once re-e would send a third battalion te Viet Nam, Mr.

But he-said repeatedly that the cab- ~—~fnet had made no decision, that after the election it would survey the situation and, if necessary, would

__ punches in asking the electors. to vote with this policy in mind.

A major domestic issue in the cam- paign was governmental aid to.educa- tior, particularly for relief of the shortage of teachers in state schools. Labor had promised to subsidize the

- pay of teachers in church: schools - and to help the state generously to | increase their facilities for teacher. training. Mr. Holt countered with a promise to lift federal spending on education to at least $160 million a year and to reserve places in new colleges for teachers destined for

ehurch schools.

As in Canada, government aid to. ‘education is constitutionally a state responsibility, but since 1953 the federal power has assumed more and

more of the burden in this matter, because the states are incapable of . shouldering it financially.

Scandinavia who would dare to sit be- hind the wheel when they had even a single drink. The stiff mandatory prison sentences have done the trick. A speaker maintained thgt North American public opinion is not ready ‘for such a drastic cure. But can this be said to absolve governments of the duty to lead and change public opinion: when they honestly believe it is for the nation’s good? That was a cardinal issue raised at the Win- nipeg seminar, and it can stand a lot | of sober discussion across the country 2

_ Proved Their Value . The strike which tied up, Air Caf- ada has now‘been settled, but it leaves _unresolved the question of how to deal equitably with the six or seven regional airlines which were authoriz-

many, of them could only hope to make money from their new routes if costs were spread over a longer period.

Unfortunately for these carriers,- the strike did not last long enough for them to develop a pattern of Joad factors and potential revenues for a permanent coverage of portions of ‘Air Canada’s nation-wide routes. Many of them, however, reached 50 per cent to 70 per cent capacity with- in a few days of the strike outbreak. One of.them, for example, had order-’ ed’ full-size jets for their regular local routes. ;

Which raises the question why re- gional carriers should not have a larger permanent share of the domes- tic air market. The Toronto Telegram argues persuasively for ‘a reas-- essment of policy in this matter.

For The Nation’s Good A traffic seminar held recently in Winnipeg showed that- only” stiffer penalties for- offending drivers can reduce the appalling death toll on North American highways, The sem- - ' inar attracted a large audience, says a writer in the Winnipeg Free press; but one had the impression that the speakers—and they were all impres- sive—-were preaching to the convert- ed The municipal officers, the police officers, the doctors and _— the insurance men hardly needed to be told the tragic extent of the slaughter on the roads.

Temoving from the road both unroad- worthy dfivers and unroadworthy ve- ___hicles stayed away____- . _ But they could hardly fail to have been shocked by the picture that was drawn and reported in the press.

Its near monopoly could have had much worse results during the strike, had it not been for the willing- ness of the regional catriers to incur heavy initial costs to take over, and | to assume much of Air Canada’s pas- senger and air freight load—charging Air Canda’s economy class rates, by the way. Having proved their value in an emergency, why shouldn’t they be permitted to extend their efforts to provide permanent, competitive operations, where applicable?

There is always a lesson to be learned from a strke settlement, and _ this may be the one of most concern
