‘nearly broke. But they are back to “work now, after an adjournment ‘since April.6, and the hope is that . they will get down to business on the i government's legislative program, ‘ which constitutes the real meat of the ' session.

- But first | the House will be tied down briefly on previous commit- -ments. There are the reports of the

independent commissions redrawing i

‘the constituency boundaries, for in- - Stance, which were tabled on March - 19. The redistribution law said there “should be a 15-day, period. during * “which objections to ‘the new - bound- aries could be filed. But it will be re- “called that the government had to get its 1965-66 estimates passed or be plunged into financial crisis. The re- sult was an all-party agreement. early this session to amend the redistribu- tion law providing for 45 days instead

be up May 4; and it is intended, now

vote five of those remaining days to winding up. the budget debate, and the other seven to hearing redistribu- tion: protests.

After that, the members are expect-

new stream-lined rules adopted by the House last session. The rules narrow the scope for idle talk and opposition filibuster, and increase by nearly_50- per. cent the time available for gov- ernment business. Some 65 items are listed in the Throne speech that will require their attention, and there won’t be any time for unproductive wrangling.

*Finland’s Problem

Finland is the most recent country to: get into the bilingual problem picture. It’s difficulty is, not so much to find a solution as to finance that solution without unduly burdening the taxpayers. At least, that’s what’s worrying the Helsinki government, which is reportedly spending millions of marks annually to maintain the two-language administration it’s legis-

lation demands. In addition, still fur- ther millions are spent on double-

|

of 15 for objections. The 45 days will-

ed-to-really_get-to-work, aided by the _

language street signs, translation and:

typing of official documents and similar items. : The first Swedes arrived in Finland

settlement developed in the 13th cen- | tury. The-descendants of these _

invaders are still thére. At one time

it was the burning desire of every

Finnish youth to speak Swedish. The development of industry, though, re- duced the Swedish-ianguage inhabi- tants, so that now there are only some 350,000, Swedish-Finns, representing about 8 per cent of the total popula- “aa A Jaw enacted in 1919, when, after World War I, Finland became fully self-governing states that Swedish and - Finnish are the republic’s | official languages,.and clearly requires that when the minority language is spoken bv more than 10 per cent of a com-

munity’s total population, that com- |

munity must fall within the “double- language’ category. :

The language status of communities is décided every tenth year. To escape fluctuation, communities first apply- ing for double-language status must have a minority of at. least, 12 per cent. Per contra, those seeking to be classified in the single-language cate- gory must have a minority group of less than’8 per cent on their first ap- plication.

The-law also originally stipulated that the major cities, Helsinki- Aabo and. Vasa- should. be regarded as double-language communities even if the minority fell below 8 per. cent. This proviso was tater wiped ,out, ae the Swedish Peoples’ Party,

with 14 seats in parliament, have urged that it be required. The law also requires that. people applying for civil service jobs must be able ta speak both languages.

The Swedish-Finns are largely con- | centrated in Finland’s northweste: _ and southern coastal areas, and th | numbers are slowly declining.sPhe double-language standard doesn’t | seem to have done much to check this decline, and it is questionable what the future has in store for it.

| ~ Still Unexplained

In referring to the Victor Spencer case in the House of Commons on | Feb. 23, Prime Minister Pearson stat- ed that the surveillance being exercis- ed over this man “‘in his own interest as well as in the pubic interest,” had been “adapted tothe require- ménts of: this particular case.” Jus- tice Minister Cardin supplemented

would be subject to a 24-hour tail by | ‘the RCMP.

It was understandable, A eretore. | that when Spencer was found in his home in Vancouver-on-Aprit-9-after—

he had been dead for three or four days, Canadians were strongly critical

its “surveillance” of the 61-year-old

spy suspect. Mr. Pearson himself was

quoted as stating, when queried as to - | whether the surveillance had been

withdrawn prior to the _ suspect’s

death, that he was unaware of any

such order having been issued.

Yet the government, it has now been revealed, called off the RCMP in the wake of strong protests in Par- liament and by the public. The order

speaking terms with his own Solicitor ~General-and should have been-inform-. éd of this order immediately. Certain- ly he should not have been placed in the position of having to make the statement he did. He should at least have had the knowledge immediately after Spencer’s body was found, and the public generally should have been so informed. It was an oversight for which it is hard to account, and which the Mounties, no doubt, will: find difficult to forget.

Out In Alberta

Like all self-employed Canadians, farmers must pay the full shot of the Canada Pension Plan: They-have-also to make an additional payment for their hired men, and to’ deduct the latter’s share of the premiums. Out in Alberta, resentment over these pro- visions has been growing and several southern Alberta locals of the Farm- | ers’ Union have already held angry protest. meetings. Perhaps it is too late to do anything about it, but at a_big rally near Red Deer recently, attended by top officials of the potent and militant Western Stockgrowers Association, a campaign for the priv- ilege of “opting out’’ of the deal was” discussed.

It is argued that big buistheas: with its electronic and punchcard book- keeping machines, can adjust itself | to the red tape involved in. the pen- ' sion plan, but for the farmer the multiplicity of forms to be filled and records to be kept adds up both to frustration and burdensone costs. Businessmen have learned to cope with such problems and pass on most of the cost to their customers. Those who fail to do so wind up in the bank- ruptcy court. But for the farmer—the © western farmer particularly—there | is no way in which he is going to be | able to pass on any of his extra costs. He is the last. iri liné, it is claimed; and that is what is causing all the up- roar. i

| | Nor is this all. The farmers insist |

that they are caught both ways. They are ‘the ultimate consumers, so they have to pay for whatever the manu- facturers, wholesalers, retailers and transporters add to their cost as a result of social security. Thus when the bakers recently added two cents a loaf to the price of bread, the far- | mers have to pay the increase for the" | bread they buy but are in fact getting

less for the wheat that goes, into the

bread—which is sold by the Wheat

Board in the open market—-than they | did last year

A HAPPY AUGURY Sir,—Recently I was invited to

-I had a vision of a young Am- erican and a young Russian fly- ing their kites in circles around

er in their flirfations with Ve- nus. Then the scene changes and I envisaged myself driving my car across the Northumberland Strait high up above the drifting ice and dashing spray thrown up by a northeast gale. A sensation like flying in an airplane and

Then with a swoop I felt myself ;—diving down _— down into the— and the ice flow. Now with a zoom I come up and behold! I have crossed the stormy sea by a miracle.

I think I’ shall quote to my- self, as I make my first cross- ing, from the 139th Psalm. and remember ‘how the Psalmist felt assured that whether he ascen- ded into the heavens or descend- _ed into hell, his God was with him.

More exciting still came a vis- ion more apropos my invitation to Father Wood’s banquet. I re- called how in the beginning of the Christian community the re- mark was often made by those | not of their group: ‘‘How those | Christians love one another!'” Sadly the Devil soon: got in his dirty work and the Church was “by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed.’’ Came _ in- *quisitions, persecutions, martyr- doms.

WASHINGTON (CP) — The unyielding nature of the United States government's basic atti- tude to China has been under-* lined in congressional testi- | |mony by State Secretary Dean | | Rusk. 4

Every time the U.S. makes a | | pYoposal-for —better--relations— exchanges of journalists, stu- dents, scientists or whatever— | communist-ruled China rushes | to broadcast its scorn.

arrogance and obsessions of its ~

His points emphasized the heart of the bitter mutual. jso}a- |tion between the US> and. China: Formosa, home of the Chinese Nationalists and holder /of a United Nations Security Council permanent seat.

The U.S. will continue to help defend Formosa, Rusk said, and attempt ‘to make sure Formosa remains in the UN.

“When it can be done without | jeopardizing other US. inter. |ests, we should continue to en. | large the possibilities for unofft. cial contact (with Chipa),"’ Rusk | said.
