"The Tragedy Of It

' With a new City Council in office, it is to be hoped that the problem of housing accommodation for Charlotte- town’s underprivileged citizens will be grappled with in earnest. The de- lay that has occurred has been ex- plais at various times on various grounds, but this is cold comfort to these who are suffering from the con-

ences of such procrastination. The cardinal fact about the problem ts that it is getting worse all the time, and the longer it is left unsettled the tlier it will be to remedy. | A pertinent reminder of the grav-

“annual meeting this week of the Pro- |

a neces Pee eau’s executive director, Miss Elizabeth Torrey. In her report Miss Torren noted that there were 182 fat and individuals requiring as-

ce during the year, many of them living in housing which is in- ad d very poor; yet they

rd to pay even for this.

.““We had hoped,” she said, “that

time, some form of subsidiz- ed, housing would have been institu- ted, at least that the first sod would have been turned. This has not come as yet, and people with large are spending too much of me on rent, cutting down | the quality and quantity of food give their children. Also too

of .our budget. goes -to ‘help

being sub judice, any pre-judging of the issues one way or the other is to be deplored.

This is what Justice Minister Fav-- reau did in addressing'a group of university students in Montreal the other day, when he predicted, with regard to the Dorion inquiry, that “when all the facts are in most of the insinuations or accusations that have beén made will be proved unfound- ed.”

Mr. Favreau admitted having made this statement when queried in Parliament on the subject,-but he maintained that it did not amount to, discussing any of the facts or allega- tions before the inquiry, and his con- science was clear about the way he had handled the subject.

The issue was brought up on a question of privilege by a Conserva- tive member, who called upon Prime Minister Pearson to take action. Mr. Pearson is not quoted as making any reply, but Mr. Favreau is quoted as having ‘rejected the argument” and saying that it was up to Chief Jus- tice Dorion to determine whether there was any contempt implied in his statement.

This is not very satisfactory, to say the least. The justice minister has been quite bellicose of late in denouncing the “paranoia” ‘of those who were trying to cover up their own guilt with smear charges against “this best ofall administrations.” Since he is himself involved in the charges, and since they are still un- der judicial inquiry, he is taking a

high-handed attitude indeed. These statements, incidentally, were all made outside Parliament. in

When he is in the House, Mr. Fav-

reau preserves a discreet silence. It would be better if he made this a

consistent rule of conduct until he has something to sound off about.

OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson

They Occupy The Corridors Of Power

Who are the Mandarins of Ot- | whole-time members, who can | only far in excess of the earn-

be compared to assistant deputy ministers.

In addition, there are 33 | Crown Corporations. These are operated in most cases by boss- es even less known than the deputy ministers, but sometimes more highly paid. For example,

- | the two well-known chief execu-

tives, President Donald Gordon of the Canadian National Rail- way and Governor Louis Rasm-

- | insky of the Bank of Canada,

are said to earn $75,000 and $50,000 réspectively. This is not

ings of the top mandarins, it

also exceeds the $45,000 per year |

paid to the Prime Minister and the $35,000 paid to the ministers of departments.

There are approximately 200,- 000 federal civil servants, with a total annual payroll of about $800,000,000; there are about

150,000 proportionately _better-

paid-employees .of crown cor-

porations, with a payroll of

some $750,000,000 These are ali the mandarins of Canada.

Bursitis usually is associated | with pain in the shoulder. But | there are 24 other bursas in the | body and all are potential troub- | lemakers, especially

the shoulder suffer from repeat- | ed efforts to lift, push, pull, and | twist. | A bunion is an example of the type of bursa that protects un- derlying structures from injury. When a person wears pointed | shoes, the big toe turns in and there is irritation of the inner edges of the . metatarsal joint. | The bunion acts as a cushion. | Weaver's or tailor’s bottom re- fers to an irritation of the ischial bursa (near gluteal muscles) that becomes irritated in those | who sit for long periods of time.

West German Dilemma

starting with Israel.

Since U.S. relations with Pre- sident Nasser of the U.A.R. are | at such a low ebb, a Harriman | visit to Cairo may be regarded as useless.

Israel is the only port of call mentioned so far, although the trip will cover other Middle East places and the Far East, scene of the Viet Nam crisis.

But the Israeli visit has im- mediate significance, with West Germany trapped by a policy of | attempting to make friends and, at the same time, guarding her long-term objective of eveniual reunification with Communist East Germany.

This is her d'lemma. PROMISED ARMS

As another gesture of restitu- tion to the Jewish people, and with some U.S. pressure applied

West Germany in early 1961 be- gan delivering secretly some | $80,000,000 worth of arms to Is- rael. ~

About 80 per cent had been de- livered and a shipment of .anks was on the list when President Nasser angrily referred to Ger- man arms for his arch enemy and announced an official state visit invitation for Communist boss Walter Ulbricht of East Germany. |

The West Germans have been | anxious to remain on good | terms with the Arab slates. | helping through low - inicrest loans and other aid. West Ger-

many also has had a thriving export trade, running annually at more than $100,000,000. West Germany saw the .Nas- ser invitation to Ulbricht as a forecast of official recognition

those of | cently named American ambas- | and a clear threat to West Ger-

man policy of 10 years standing

any non-Communist country re- cognizing East Germany.

West Germany said it would cancel the tank shipment to Is- rael. Israel reacted as angrily ‘as Nasser had done. Some pro- minent American businessmen announced a boycott of West German goods.

MID EAST SQUEEZE

Nasser proceeded with the Ul- bricht invitation anyway and his only concession has been to delete some ceremonial for the visit beginning today. Ambassa- dor Harriman also arrives in Is- rael today. 4

But it does appear that the West German line has hard- ened, after being squeezed so badly between the two Middle East opponents, to the point where Nasser faces some retal-

iation. He has asked West Germany

| for another $250,000,000 for a | mew five-year program.

If he doesn’t get any or al! of it, presumably the Soviet Union or some other Communist source will have to make it up.

A larger question for West Germany is how many other

Arab countries 7 be sidling

| up to East y, strength- ening that nation’s international position.

At this stage, East Germany seems to be a clear winner among the four countries imme- diately involved.

Over Senior Statesmen

ize that. ial

premiers with the longest record of continuous office came into power as exponents of a politico- economic doctrine which has not won official approval in any oth- er country.

Premier W.A.C. Bennett of British Columbia, who has just broken the record for political | longevity in that province by | surpassing the 12 years six months and 14 days period serv- ed by Sir Richard McBride, may be a giant in B.C.

But compared with Premier E.C. Manning, of Alberta, he is a sort of Johnny- come- lately. |

For Mr. Manning took over |

from ‘Bible Bill’’ Aberhart in | 1943 and has headed the Alber- ta government ever since, usual- ly having another portfolio in addition to the premiership.

Although both Mr. Bennett and Mr. Manning head Social Credit ministries, they have been pre- served by the Canadian consti- tution from taking any active steps to introduce its interesting theories into actual practice. Mr. Manning has achieved a re- putation as a sound, conserva- tive administrator; Mr. Bennett has achieved a reputation too, but it is of a somewhat differ- ent nature.

About the only thing Mr. Man- ning and Mr. Bennett have in common is the party name. In action and policy they are strikingly at variance. It even

b

seems that their differences ex- tend to the federal scene, where '

x ‘ to. e eat Robert Thompson, the federal

Social Credit leader, while Mr. Bennett seems to get along bet- ter with the meteoric Real Cao- uette.

Those who say Canadians are dull conformists should pay some attention to the men who have achieved the greatest sen- jority as Canadian premiers. They don't even conform with one another
