San 7 | Where Do They Stand? : One question the Liberals should

wwow in Ottawa, is where they - d collectively on the question: of~

fonwe to resolve-at-their-big-party~

guidelines for wage and profit in-

cfeases. This has become a matter of urgent concern to federal _govern- ment spokesmen; but their comments . en the subject are conflicting, and it is evident that what the govern- ment needs most of all is a policy leline from its supporters. : Take Ind -Minister Drury’s. statements in’ Edmonton last week, r example. He told the Canadian hamber of Commerce that a “gen-

If the Liberal Party conference

~ eould set its leaders on a more con-.

aistent course in this matter, it would

_ be well worth while.

--Why They Need Thant

The renewed vote of confidence the UN Security Council in U

t does not appear to have caused -

y fundamental change in the reas- why the secretary-general has de-

led not to seek a second term. this prove to be the case, the ecurity Council will” be forced to~

ptudied, the more difficult seems the

_.prospect of reaching a solution.

.

! Why so, with so many countriés to - choose from? But therein, it seems, the rub. As a correspondent in Christian Science Monitor points t, a lot of countries have to be ex- ded in advance. Those belonging the North Atlantic Treaty Organ- or to the Warsaw Pact, for jexample—that is, Western and

#astern Europe. Then there are the . countries bordering on a superpower

ge :--which would elimiifate Mexico and

anada as neighbors of the-United tes; Finland and Af, tan as heighbors of the Soviet Union. The ther neighboring countries belong a military bloc and accordingly are excluded as well.

+ But objection also would be taken to a secretary-general from countries ‘ hat are large and _ potentially strong, uch as India or Brazil. And to.coun- ries which are too much under the

ilitary or economic influence of a perpower. This would apply to the whole of Latin America.. — | What's left? Well, there are three neutrals in Europe—Sweden, Aus- tria, and Ireland. But the first is ex-

There remain Africa and parts of Asia. Africa south of the Sahara is so

___Well Worth While _ The Canadian Highway Safety Council has come up with a new idea on the theme which rightly engrosses “all its attention. It plans to sponsor a nation-wide centennial project called “Hospitality On. The Highway.” Basically designed to reduce the | number of deaths, injuries and ac- cidents, the project will urge every

| motorist to think of himself in the

role of--host and to treat visiting motorists as guests, throughout 1967. A guest judges a host by his hos- pitality. «Since. most centennial

‘either from outside Canada or from within, will travel by automo- bile, they must be made welcome on ‘ the highway. With more than 30,000,- 000 visitors expected next year, the

vehicle in Canada to exercise con- stant, sincere courtesy and thought- fulness, to go out of his way to fill his real role as a host to the visiting guests,” says P. J. Farmer, the Coun- cil’s executive director. He» warns that. one inhospitable driver could _ruin the ishpression of Canada or the province taken home by the visitor who, normally, would lose no time in spreading the word. Conversely,

courtesy on the road, could result in far-reaching good will. — - Besides, he adds, “a wave of hos-

crop prospects with the difficulties many farmers have been facing in

| Australia. The drought that plagued

productive areas in that country last year cost at least $1,000 million, and some of its effects will leave their mark on the national economy for the next few years. In losses of stock and diminished woo! production it cost the wool industry at least $310 million. Graziers lost 13 million of their 170 million sheep and over a million cattle. Beef and veal produc-

put also will fall.

There are brighter spots in the Australian farm’ picture, however. A record wheat harvest of about 400 million is expected after a fall to 258

. million last season and the wool clip is likely to be larger, though still significantly below those of 1964-65 and 1963-64. With China, Britain, Russia and Japan in the market,-pros- pects of selling the entire wheat crop are excellent.
