Water Pollution Report

It is to be hoped that. all our citizens will familiarize . themselves with the report of the water pollu- tion advisory committee for the Charlottetown area. which has now been made available and which ap- pears in summary form in today's Guardian.

This report leave: no question as to the need for remedial action Iit dealing with the water pollution problem; and as a first stop in this direction it recommends that a “wat- er authority" be established for the province at an early date. to do- termine acceptable pollution limits, With powers similar to those vested in such bodies in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Incidentally. the report takes note of the differences in results obtain-

ed by the sampling for bacterial content, done by the firm of .I. ll. Richards Associates. Ottawa, in

1963. and the results obtained by the Department. of Health in Inﬁl- 62. These rliflel‘ences. the Richards report. suggested. were due to im- proper sampling by the health an- thorities, to the results of which “not too much weight should be given."

But the new report. finds other- wise. “It has now become‘obvious," it says. “that. perhaps the reverse is true, that the ISIS?) results should be discounted and the. 1061-62 re- sults used as the basis of judging harbor waters." However. it. is add- ed that while the Richards report. "may have resulted in the view that harbor contamination is less than it. possibly is. the difference is not enough to change the overall rec- ommendations of the Richards firm."

Certainly there is no ground for complacency. as the Health Depart- ment has been stressing for several years. Many other communities are facing the same challenge. The problem is indeed one of national concern. and it is interesting to note that Resources Minister Laing has called a conference next, year of the various provincial departments. at Which the Whole pollution problem will be discussed.

Meanwhile. we can make a good start by tackling our own problem along the lines recommended by the advisory committee. which is to he congratulath on the thoroughness with which it has discharged its duties.

Rilts Within The Lute

If the Pearson government stands for Liberalism in this country, then we‘ll soon have to give over calling the Winnipeg Free Press "our staunch Liberal contemporary." The two have Come pretty close to a parting of the ways. Now. accord- ing to an Ottawa correspondent of the Free Press. Prime Minister Pearson has attacked the Winnipeg paper in the Liberal caucus for its editorial dealing with the govern- ment's package deal for "patriation" of the constitution.

We were. impressed by this editorial, which we quoted from ex- tensiver in these columns on Mon- day. So. apparently. was Mr. Pear- son, but in a different way. He was obviouhly incensed over its implica- tion. calling It. "factually incor. not" and "twisted" in its bias.

How does our Winnipeg con- temporary know what went on in the secrecy of a party caucus? “Liberal sources" tipped it off, ind the whole story In its latest “on to hand, that of last; Thurs~

on tho Fred Press. It.

I l l

seems. come when the government was under fire from several mem- bers in the caucus over the deal prepared by the attorneys-general and approved by the premiers to make the constitution wholly Can- adian. One Liberal source said that three Ontario members and two Nova Scotia members spoke out in caucus voicing their dissatisfac- tion with the formula for bringing the constitution “home” to (Tan- ads.

The Prime Minister was inform- ed that the three Toronto newspap- el's had criticized the formula. It was pointed out from the floor in the caucus that the government could not. “just ignore" such press criticism. Mr. Pearson then told the caucus of reading the Free Press just before leaving his office for the caucus that morning. and voiced his indignation.

He took exception to the editorial describing the formula as a "sur- prise package carefully wrapped in secret sessions for an unsuspecting public." He also objected to its statement that “nobody knew, be- cause the fact was deliberately con- cealed. that the conference would also take up the matter of dele- gating powers from one government to another." He maintained the “delegating formula" was exactly as proposed in the Fulton formula of 1961. except for “one minor change."

“The party caucus." explains the Free Press, "is held behind closed doors. What transpires in a caucus is a closely guarded secret. More than once members of the Liberal party have. been lectured about not disclosing what takes place. But some Liberals are so incensed about the constitution formula that they have talked outside the caucus. They feel the government may have gone too far in conceding control to prov- inces. They are strengthened in their views by the criticism express- ed editorially by the Free Press, the Toronto Star. Toronto Telegram and Toronto Globe and Mail."

The Free Press was the only newspaper the Prime Minister men- tioned by namein his caucus re- marks, says the Free Press—leav- ing the reason to be surmised. It notes also. as a parting shot, that “the government has already come under fire from the Opposition in the House for making deals behind closed doors in the federal provin- cial conferences and then announc- ing them to Parliament."

Bonn Visit Off

One. of the things former Prem- ier Khrushchev planned to do was visit West. Germany early next year. Just how he and Chancellor Ludwig Erhard would hit it off will now never be known. As for Mr. Khrushchev’s successors in office. it is regarded as “totally unrealistic" to expect either of them to wander far from Moscow in the very near future.

The real hope in Bonn. when Mr. Khrushchev's visit loomed up. was that some kind of gradual progress could be made toward reunification of the two (lormanys, at least in the way of trade. transport, and com- munications which have already produced some cooperation between the two states.

Khrushchev, certainly. was a man whose global travels had given him a larger dimension with which to view the “German problem” than the tandem that succeeded him could be expected to have. Chan- cellor Erhard may have been hop- ing to talk the problem over with him in a manner that could have ensured a further easing of tensions on both sides. Since it was the Soviet leader who proposed the meeting. one may credit him with having a similar thought in mind.

But this meeting has been jettison- ed along with a lot of other irons that Mr. Khrushchev had in the fire. Perhaps, as a Washington commentator suggests, Its very im- minence was one of the reasons why he was ousted from power.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Addressing a group of farmers recently. Agriculture Minis t e 1' Harry Hays said. "Maybe I should really be called the Minister of Food or the Secretary of State for Groceries." He explained that it isn't. only the farmers the govern— ment is thinking about when It works on agricultural programs; it is also thinking about the con- sumers of the food the farmer pro- duceo.

Alvin Hamilton. former min- Ister of agriculture. has pro- posed that Canada pay higher priced for good from under-de- veloped countries. This. he says. would enable them to buy the things they need from us. l and we could well afford to pay more for sugar, jute. bau- auas. palm oIl and such things. To do so. he suggests, mldht double the income of countries where the Inhabitants live on $50 a year.

Only the unchivalrous would withhold admiration a .septuaxenarinu lady who steps forward and stumps the coun- try as the main opposition can dldnte In a prosldentisl election In one of the most populous countries on earth —— and a Mo- ‘ slem land to boot. That is what I Miss Fatima Jinnah is doing in I Pakistan. I

Most observers agree that Miss Jinnnh's emergence as a presidential candidate is un- IIkely to affect the outcome of t election. President Ayub Khan is virtually certain to be confirmed in office.

lIndeed. Miss Jinnah's chal lenge to him is not on the broad I outlines of policy but on meth- J

r . Initially, Miss .linnah's candi

dacy had seemed something of a stunt. But If it ever was that It ceased to be when she cross- ed the subcontinent from or base in Karachi to East Pakis- tan.

For too long the people of East Pakistan have felt them- selves the stepchildren of the nation, having always had to take a back seat to their breth- ren In the West. The appearance of Miss Jinnah among them has given them an opportunity with surprisingly enthusastiu welcomes —-- indirectly to voice their dissatisfaction with the way West Pakistan has dominat- ed things hitherto.

The harshly objective might question Miss Jinnah's qualific- ations for the presidency. In the unlikely event of her elec- tion. But the crowds she is drawing are a healthy remind- er to President Ayub. an honor- able and dedicated pattriot of aspirations in Pakistan which he should not overlook.

But membership In the nu- ' result once hoped for,

Can anyone seriously believe that General de Gaulle will be Impressed by the moral ex- ample of British disarmament? Not at all. He will merely write Britain off as a great power and continue. with redoublcd energy. his program to make France the dominant power In Western Europe.
