_ former Justice Minister Davie Fulton — as saying. “It could be far more like-
about the railway being practically a |
dead duck in this part of Canada, and in planning for its “phasing out” operations here by eliminating \rail facilities from our causeway-tunnel project? We have never been able to get much light on that “general preliminary meeting of the minds be- tween the two levels of government” which reportedly took place in Trans- port» Minister Pickersgill’s office: at Ottawa in June, 1964, at which time this scheme was discussed. But it came to nothing in the end, and that, of course, is what matters. The year-end- report of Howard C. Gray- ston, CNR vice-president for the At- lantic ‘region. shows’ that such a plan would have been premature indeed.
ly under the new setup that an RCMP report would never get to the De- partment of Justice.”
The Ottawa Journal, however, takes a different view. “The RCMP Act,” it says, “requires: the commis-
| sioner to report directly to the Minis-
ter of Justice. This means that the minister is kept informed on the pro- gress of investigation in important cases. When the inquiry is complete, the minister then puts on another cap~and, turning from the police to his..legal advisers, has to ~ decide

With a nine per cent increase in. | | vestigation documents come before
’ freight revenues and a rise of nearly
13 per cent in passenger revenues in 1965, the Canadian National is fore- ycasting continued growth in the local economy in the new year. Moreover,
as Mr. Grayston says, “a transporta- | --tion service cannot do-well if the area
it serves is declining: This is why our successes during 1965 are good _hews for everyone in the region. They are a clear indication that the Atlantic provinces are in-the middle of an economic upswing.”
Canadian National economists, who keep a close finger on the econo- mic pulse of the region to prepare for
“future transportation needs, have diagnosed_ the outlook. for Atlantic
_ Canada as promising. They point out that the region is benefiting from a
total capital investment of three bil- lion dollars in the past four years, and world markets for the region’s products are expected to increase.
sions of service /furing the year is the continuance, throughout the win-

Edward Island and main train lines,

“When the causeway has been con- structed, we may expect a tremendous increase in this traffic. We have that assurance from railway officials, who
are as.concerned: as the rest of us in
seeing that this great undertaking is brought to fulfillment. The increase in last year’s rail traffic throughout the region, and the prospects for fur- ther gains next year, are but a fore- taste of what is to come.
* New Look For Justice
w Of the numerous changes involv- ed in Prime Minster Pearson’s recent cabinet reorganization an- nouncement, none has attracted more editorial attention than his proposed splitting up of the -functions of the Department of Justice. ‘Under the
new arrangement, this department. - will continue to administer the feder-
al courts, draft. legislation, and con- duct: litigation and prosecutions for the*government. But a new depart- ment, headed by the Solicitor Gener- al, © will administer the Royal Cana-
dian Mounted Police, the penitentiar-
les and the parole’board. _ «The announcement is seen to fol-
‘low the Ontario government's decis-_
ion to.establish a Solicitor General's
~ department to take over, from the
provincial Attorney General, such matters-as the Ontario Securities

We shall have to wait and see. Mr. Pearson told a press conference that it would take months to work out the reorganization of government depart- ments to match the cabinet changes he announced; which means that the subject will be a lively topic of dis- cussion when Parliament meets next month.

opposed peaceful coexistence with countries of other ideologies, Mr. Sato said. Japan “separates. politics.from

Nevertheless, the premier was hopeful that the United States would come to have friendly relations with Peking as soon as possible. Japan, he pointed out, has normalized its rela- tions with the Republic of Korea, and
