Grave Quebec Emergency

It is to be hoped that the emer- gency measures now taken by Pre- mier Lesage will put an effective stop to the ave of terrorism that has swept Montreal and other parts of Quebec in recent \veek:, Military, civil and police authorities have met to map out a campaign to this end. In a front page editorial over the weekend, the Montreal Gazette says that it is only the Premier who can give to the campaign against the guilty the resolution and impulse that are needed. Only the prestige of his office, and the vigor of his character, can summon forth all the many resources of Quebec and carry them forward to united and decisive action.

No longer can there he any hope that the terrorists, having gone as far as murder, might abandon their tactics. The bombings have gone on, contemptuous of life and defiant of authority. It is the Government most of all, of course, that is being challenged. It is its authority that is being insulted; It is its ascend- ency that must be asserted.

Premier Lesage will draw to his side the support of all responsible citizens, for there can be no reason» able division of opinion here as to the need for maintaining law and order, and of upholding the sacred- ness of human life. Mr, Lesage has said that the terrorists are doing enormous harm to Quebec as well as to French Canada. They are. in- deed. doing harm to the whole coun- try, to its reputation as a civilized nation and enlightened democracy.

There is no inclination on the part of English speaking Canadians to blame these outrages on their French speaking compatn’ots as a body. or on any responsible element thereof; but the fact that the ter- rorists profess to be French Cana- dian extremists makes it all the more important, for the good name of French Canada, that they be hunted down as dangerous crimin- als. Only when they have been put behind bars and brought to justice will decent citizens be able to breathe freely.

Not only Quebec, but the na- tion generally, has the fullest con- fidence in Premier Lesage. in his ability to give the leadership that is required in this emergency and in his determination to wipe this blot from the escutcheon of his province.

Ottawa will provide, In effect, for the “assignment” of Britain's 180- plune strategic air force and of the three United States Polaris submar- ines stationed in the Meditterranean tn NATO's command and targeting staffs.

The forces will not lose their na- tional identities. They will be manned, controlled and financed by Britain and the United States. as be- fore. They can also be withdrawn for strictly national duty, as desired. France, which has opposed any al- lied arrangements that might chal- lenge her nuclear independence, is said to be ready to acquiesce in the Ottawa announcement, Her officials are expected to describe the change as a routine reshuffle of organiza- tion charts, and they will probably claim a diplomatic victory in trim- ming down propaganda about the more.

As for the Kennedy administra- tion. says The Times correspond- ent. it will be happy to conclude the manoeuver without becoming in- volved in an imbroglio at Ottawa. it looks upon the change as a step —alheit a small one—toward giving the allies a bigger role in NATO strategic planning and satisfying some European desires for a greater voice in Atlantic defense policy.

Those Jobless Figures

The latest report of the Domin- Ion Bureau of Statistics shows that job opportunities are rising across Canada, that the unemployment tot— al dropped last month to 462,000, that the mid-April jobless total was 87,000 lower than the total for March and 23,000 lower than the total for April last year. This rep- resented 7 per cent of the labor force. compared to unemployment rate of 7.5 per cent in April, 1962, and 9.7 per cent in April. 1961. It was also a sharp drop from the 8.4 percent rate of March of this year.

The figures for all Canada, how- ever, are much more reassuring than are those for the Atlantic Provinces taken separately. To be sure, the national trend was reflected by the drop from 15.3 per cent in this area in mid-March. to 14.1 per cent in mid-April. But as the Fredericton Gleaner points out, the fact re- mains that this 14.1 per cent. when compared with the 6.4 per cent rep- resentative of the other six prov- inces. is a sobering indictment of a country that enjovs relative pros. perity In its central and westenl areas and permits depression in its eastern extremity. In the national interest, the new government at Ottawa should not be long in facing up to this problem.

EDITORIAL NOTE

Reports given to the House of Commons reveal that a total of 42,209 people left Canada in the 1961 calendar year to take 11p per- manent United States residence. roughly enough people to comprise a good sized city. In terms of the millions who populate the United States this number is barely frac. tional, but it represents a depressing loss to Canada.

Commenting on the Liberal pro- posal to “strengthen” the Atlantic Development Board by providing it with a huge capital as. . the Cape Breton Post remarks blunt- ly: "It already was apparent that the Fredericton chairman of this board is mainly interested in dig< ging a canal at enormous expense across the neck of land separating Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for the obvious purpose of aiding the seaport of Saint John to the detri- ment of Nova Scotin seaports. A: taxpayers and patriots. we cannot applaud this objective."

One of the dangers found both in the United States and Canada is that the peril of use of these chemicals was not clearly explained or were printed in too small type. Although the Canadian Food and Drug Act has some restraints, It is believed they could be made more ironclad.
