A Puerile Challenge In challenging Prime Minister Dicfenb’aker to a debate "over 1' _ and television" on Liberal and t'on- "aervative policies, as he did here Eon ,Wedncsday evening. Mr. Pearson i "i must have known very well the “e viras talking through his hat. He had Toppertunities galore for debating policies with the Prime Minister, :“face to face," in the House of f‘ '11-

't).

q mons. during the iong-drawmout ‘Iaaasiom recently prorogu‘ed; and in- '

~decd. if there were any political is- -—.uu that didn't get a thorough air- ‘lng in debate at that time. the elec- Jtors are unaware of them. - Nothing else but politics seem- ed to be in the minds of members on both sides during the drug weeks of the session. 'i'hey"smriled it on every occasion. holding Willie business of the House, time and again, with their partisan bicker- ings. Many of .the leading memhcrs. including Mr. Pearson, took time out to make political meeches across the country as well, but that was their own affair. They could alug it out in Parliament as much as they liked; and they liked it so much. and kept at it so long. that the public got heartily sick of the whole performance.

Mr. Diefenbaker has rightly dis- missed the Pearson challenge as a puerlle one. He was not intaos‘e‘d. he mid, “in providing TV audiences for others." Why should he be? Mr. Pm was leader of Her Majes- ty's Loyal Opposition in the House of Cmmons. and could speak there with greater mostige than he on- joys today. Today he still is ‘nsder of the Liberal Party; but there are other Oprmsitrlon parties, equally entitled. through their leaders, to “face to face" confrontation with the Prime Minister if he were fool- ish enough to concede the point and goon the air with them.

We do not. think Mr. Diefen-baker Would be seriously afraid of such encounters. despite the example of the fate of Vice—President Richard Nixon in his televised debates with John Kennedy in the last US. presidential election campaign. We think. rather, that he has' regard for the dignity of his office. and for the fact that our mrliamentary system makes full provision for de- bate on the leadership level in the pmpcr place.

Uneasy Interlude

Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan is seeing President Kermcdy at Washington this V” ‘k— md. The agenda oft’hetaalks has been widely forecast and discussed bythepressonbothaideaoftrhe Atlantic, the main item being the pmslbliities of a Berlin settlement. Not resumption of atmospheric nu- clear tests by the United States. which was already agreed to in the event of Russia's contained appris- ltion to a supervised teat-ha agree- ment. The new US. tests are al- ready under way. and Mr. Macmil- lan. penumably, has no intuition of asking President Kennedy to stop them.

If President de Gaulle would “behave better" toward NATO, per- haps Washington would see the way

“to share nuclear information with

him. But he shows no disposition, in return, to strengthen the NATO alliance. And the question arises, if the United States assists France independently in this manner, will it eventually be asked to assist West Germany as well? Policy for- mulation will become even more difficult when Peking explodes its

l Communist nuclear powers, instead of one, to deal with.

A Serious Problem

The need for_a lZ-mile Canadian fishing limit is widely recognized. - Speaking on this subject at Morell on Wednesday, Hon. Mr. Pearson locallcd that Canada failed by one vote chcral years ago to gain in- ternational agreement. on this meas- ure. But if Iceland and Norway could move alone to fix the neces- sary limit. so could Canada: and a Linn] government, he pledged, would .do it.

Mr. Pearson is an expert in in- tarnatiosnl affairs. and it may be that he has the right answer. We note, however, that at the Fishc'ies Council of Canada meeting now in m in Quebec Mr. H.L. Payne, a Vancouver commercial fishing ex! ccutivc, mintained that the only hope of controlling foreign vessels fishing in Canadian waters is by in- tar-national agreement. He believed a bilateral treaty with the United States should be negotiated at once, and that Canada should “strengthen by all means within her control the Internatimnl-Nm-th- Atlantic Convention.”

Mr. Payne is in agreement with Mr. Pearson as to the seriousness of the situation. The invasion of foreign fishing fleets. he says, is an accomplished fact in both Atlantic and Pacific waters, and he cited numerous examples. It is to be hop- ed we shall bear shortly from our own Cabinet representative, Hon. J. Angus Machan. on this subject. It is his responsibility. as Fisheries Minister, to seek the best solution, and he should be losing no time in doing so.

Low-Rental Housing

New procedure for getting low-

housing rental projects under way across Canada has been announced by the (‘entral Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation. this will help to speed up construction of such pro- jects. but it is emphasized that the initiative will still depend on the will of the municipalities involved, as well as the wovinces. Thh. rath- er than any procedural difficulty, is cited as a major barrier to low- , rental housing projects in a num- ] her of municipalities. i Formu'ly, the province had to ‘ obtain federal approval before it could proceed to investigate a pro- ject. Now, as soon as a municipal request for low-rental Inn“ is received, the province will notify CMHt‘, and can proceed at. once to ‘ survey the need and examine M I aible sin. If the province noun- ! mends the project. it wlh still have i to receive CMHC amoval. After ‘ that. obstruction it expected to . proceed as quickly as possible. '

The federal will “still pay 75 percent of the coat, the provina 17% per cent. and the municwlty 7% par cent.

Communism and good farm- Ing do not go together. it seems. Wherever Communist govern- ments have taken over Agricul- ture and applied their own ideas of largucalc. state- dominated farming. the output of farm pro- duce has declined. Or. at best it has failed hopelessly to satisfy the demands placed on it by a population. ever increasing size. This is the only conclusion to be drawn from a survey of the farm output in Russia and Eastern Europe in 1961.

Despite a steady decline in the size of peasant holdings in Russia in the latter half of the 19th century, the lnadcqua the agrarian reforms initiated In 1861 and the gradual impov- erishment of the peasantry. Rus- sia‘s grain output had doubled by the end of the century. It.
