Pensions And POIIIICS

It may be just a coincidence. but the Pearson Government’s announce- ment that it will go ahead with its contributory pensions plan despite the apparent unwillingness of some provinces to co-operato came just on the heels of Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer’s opening speech in the Ontario provincial election cam- paign. Mr. Wintermeyer charged Premier Robarts with espousing the policy of private companies who are trying to "sabotage" the federal scheme. end said that if Ontario voters want it they would have to vote Liberal on September 25.

The Ontario Liberal leader argu- ed that the national plan could pm- ceed without Quebec. but not with. out both Ontario and Quebec. This was one statement. we note, on which Prime Minister Pearson had no comment to make at his news conference as reported yesterday. Premier L e ss g s has asked that Ottawa. amend its program to enable Quebec to "contract out". and it is hard to see how the plan could oper- ate on a pay-as-you-go basis without Quebec's participation. Certainly it would lead to a collision that would dissipate the good feeling developed out of the last federal-provincial conference on the municipal loan legislation.

it would be worse. of course. if both the big central provinces in- sisted on remaining aloof. Mr. Pear- son says he hopes this will not hap- pen. and Health Minister Judy La- Marsh is confident it won‘t. But what grounds have they for their optimism? Ontario voters. at least, will find it hard to dissociate this matter from Mr. Wintermeyer's campaign appeal. which he made the chief subject of his keynote address.

Apart from politics. several of the provincial premiers at the recent conference expressd doubt about the feasibility of a scheme in which no effort will be made to build up a large pension fund. They also point- ed out that the money to be taken from the employers and employees would be money that is being diverted in many cases from con- tributions now being made into pri- vate pension plans. These savings. now with assets reported to be around 34 billion. have been an im- portant source of money for invest- ment in Canadian securities.

But Miss LaMarsh has under— taltui to explain all about this when the fedml provincial conference of welfare ministers meets at Ottawa on Swimbcr 9. We hope she can do so satisfactorily. for there is much in the fodenl scheme to be commended—if only it can be made to work. Keeping partisan fireworks out of it as much as possible would help. '

Dr. Teller's Figures

Dr. Edward Teller. the nuclear physicist who was the most out. lpiikan critic of the nuclear test ban ml. at the Senate committee hearings at Washington. says ha ha a program which would “pro— tect” some 90 percent of Americans in case of a nuclear war. The cost? 050.000 million.

The Teller plan would combine Intimbaill missile production with a mammoth shelter—building drive. The shelter plan alone—including .sbeltar stall-I atomic blast and fin as'wsll an atomic fallout—would cm

W milliini. That's the

hut no high II 383.000 million. M“ I). drive to perfect an anti-

330.000 mllllm but concedes that it has an unknown price tag.

Human lives are worth saving at almost any cost, of course. But grant- ing that these expenditures prov- ed as effective as Dr. Teller says they would be in protecting Ameri- can lives, what sbout the rest of us? A nuclear war would be a global war. in which every nation would be involved. In the hell that would be created who would want to sur- vivs‘! That Is why it is mential to insure that such a conflict does not break out, and why the enthusiasm of nuclear scientists for their brain- children needs to be kept within limits.

Piesident Kennedy has been quick to defend the nuclear test ban treaty against the attacks of Dr. Teller, notwithstanding the emin- ence this scientist has attained in his field. And it looks as though the American people were solidly behind him. Now that the experts have been heard, debate on the treaty Is expected to begin in the Senate early next month The treaty needs a two-to-ons majority for ap- proval, and the prediction is that it will pass by a safe margin.

That will be the first step in getting away from the nation‘s need of spending $50,000 million on the prospect of keeping alive amid the ruins of a devastated world.

Oulmoded And Unfair

Why, except in a few isolated cases, is Canada not engaged in any long range educational planning at the national level? This question was raised in a recent address by Dr. LS. Phimister, director of education for Toronto; and. of course, the an- swer goes back to the fact that un- der the British North America Act education has been left to the prov- inces. Since so much is being said about amending the constitution in other ways. why aren’t we hearing more about remedying this stultify— ing anomaly?

Traditions are excellent things. but not where they create privileged classes in so vimlly important a mat. ter as education. Canada has 10 dif- ferent departments of education. with 10 different sets of standards. Children in some provinces do not have nearly as much educational op- portunity as children in other prov- inces. Even in Ontario. the wealth- iest province. there is gross inequal- ity of opportunity because of its antiquated schoolboard system.

Like most educationists. Dr. PIMP/ville? bellEVe‘! that eviiicatin'i should he a national responsibility. Unfortunately, he doesn't suggest how the necessary constitutional re< form is going to be effected. The only way this can be done is by the politicians getting together and putting it through. The problem is how to make them see that this is a matter of grave national impert. ance, and that it is getting more serious all the time. We are hoping to sea the subject debated when Parliament resumes. but the chances are that it wil be sidetracked once again.

Meanwhile. as Dr. Phimister points out. Canada and Switzerland am the only two well—established na- tions who do not consider th at education needs a national outlook. With the mounting demand 1 o r more and better education at all levels. it is surely time that we be- gsn to function as a nation in meet- ing this challenge
