Frankly Speaking

Premier Lcsagc paid us a com- pliment in believing that here, where Confederation was cradled, he could speak frankly about the Concern which the French (‘ana- dians of (Quobcc entertain with re- gard to the place they occupy in our national setup. After all, the Confederation Fathers were equally outspoken when they arrived here. Their famous L'onfcrence of a cen- tury ago was no tea party. The speakers wcre‘ not at. all inhibited in voicing grievances; and it was only after letting their hair down in this manner that thcy got to- gether amicably—over the cham- pagne gl:.ts.<es——on their nation build- ing venttne.

It is well for us all to take warn- ing from Mr. Les-age that (‘on- federation cannot be 2. complete success so long as French (‘anan dians do not have the feeling that they belong to Canada to the same

‘extent as their English speaking fellow citizens. Ilown here it is hard for us to realize the bitterness which this feeling has engendered, for we know of no such distinction as between our Acadian fellow citizens and those of other racial stock. The. rest of us have the same regard for them as we assume they have for us, and we get along fine. However, Quebec's problem is a dif- ferent one, and we appreciate the frankness with which Mr. Lesage dealt with the issue.

Perhaps, in the same spirit. he will accept our reminder that. in a material sense, it was these Mari- time Provinces that sacrificed most in Confederation. We are doing our best to overcome the disadvantages of high tariffs. centralization of industries and other penalties that Confederation brought in its wake, and that have kept us less pros- perous than our neighbors in the big Central Provinces: but we, too, at times. could do with a little more sympathy and umlerstanding. Let's not get Iachrymose about it. how- ever. We‘re still hoping, like Mr. Lesage. for a better deal.

In the. closing remarks at Sat—

urday's ceremony in the Confedera- tion Chamber. Premier Shaw was at his genial best. He got an apprec- iative grin from the distinguished guest speaker when he suggested that instead of biculturalism we ” a h o u l d have “triculturalism” in "Canada, and make an earnest drive .fto reinstate the once prevalent "Gaelic language in these parts, at ‘well as French. He expressed, too, ._the hope that Canada would go on ‘ to a greater understanding not only ,‘of its own cultures. but of the cul- .‘_' tures of other nations of the world. Therein. we venture to say, lies fhour true destiny.

Was Diei Lying? ._ There is now a strong hint that: ‘1 Parliament may be dissolved im- :,mediately, and that Prime Minister "Diefenbaker will go to the country w fore risking a non-confidence vote mon Tuesday on the nuclear arms 4; ssue and the allegations from :Washington which brought it to a “head last week. Today’s sitting, it :15 Believed, may tell the tale. 2',“ Meanwhile, it is worth noting Ethatvwhile the US. secretary of mm'haa apologized for the tone department’s criticism of . policy, he still maintains the facts given in this criti- ” m correct. If that be so they a her out of the Prime Min- . , " when he said that it would be - “because of strategic

m. N

or

changes taking place In the think- int;r of the Western world,” to pro- ceed further with acquiring nuclear warheads for the NORAD defense system at this time.

The Washington statement main- lains that there are no such reasons for Canada delaying a decision in this matter. since NORAD is design- ed adequately to defend the North American continent against air at- tack. But by an odd coincidence, another announcement has come from Washington, this time from the defense secretary. Mr. Mc- Namara, indicating that the Bom- arc missile squadrons in the NORAD system have “only limited useful- ness against manned bomber at- tack.” and that they were being con tinued in use for several years “largely because the United States Government has already paid for them.”

“The Bomarc missiles,” Mr. Mc- Namara told a congressional armed service Committee, “suffers from essentially the same defects as the manned interceptor.” larlier he told the committee that the continental interceptor force is vulnerable “be- cause it has no ground protection against missile attacks.”

But the US. Air Force has in- vested about $2,000 million in Bom- arc missiles. They are backed up by great L'.S. industries that feed on them. and supported by an end- less stream of propaganda from the Pentagon.

As Major-General Macklin, a Canadian military authority, points out in a recent letter to The Globe and Mail. NORAD has never been able to provide a military defense of this continent within the accept- ed meaning of the Word. It. might have been thought that the civil defense exercise Toscin B held in November. 1961, would have pro- vided enough proof of NORAD's impotence. After that exercise it was announced that one raid on Canada could be assumed to have left 2.600.000 dead and one million injured. is this defense?

Mr. Diefenbaker may well have had this in mind when he told Par- liament that NORAD was organized to protect. US. nuclear bases and not to defend Canadian cities. That. doubtless, was another reason why Washington, with incredible rude- ness. has castigated our government for not doing more to prop up the system by turning ourselves into a nuclear power at great expense, great loss of political influence in disarmament Councils. and a further surrender of our sovereignty.

Won't Pay Up

President de Gaulle has taken an intractable stand on other mat- tcrs beside those of Britain’s entry into the European Common Market. Once again he has refused to pay that part of France's United Na- lions dues caused by the Congo operation. The Congo fees in quest- ion are to be used to pay interest and a partial return of capital on the UN Congo bonds. This year these charges were included as an integral part of the regular UN dues assessment.

In deducting the Congo costs from its total bill, France is expect- ed to open the door for the Soviet Union and other Communist mem- bers also to refuse payment once again. This would place the world body back in the financial jeopardy it escaped by marketing the Congo bonds.

“At this stage of rudimentary international co-operation,” com- mbnts the Christian Science Mon- itor, “no one can realistically expect to see the will of a simple majority of nations prevail monetarin or mili- tarily against the firm policies of any powerful state. But should the precedent set by Paris and Moscow, for their different reasons, continue to erode the already minor dues- mllecting power of the UN, it may be necessary to consider at least partial penalties. Perhaps one such restriction would be withdrawal of a member’s right to sit or vote on any matters related to those on which it refuses to pay its assessed share.”

It is not hard to imagine what de Gnulle's reaction would be to a proposal of this kind. He would take it as an unendurable insult to France, and be more implacable than ever in his assertion of the ab- solute supremacy of the nation state over alliances and international or- ganizations. r

FOUR LIVES, FOUR WINS

“So farming has been my ba-

sic intrrest,” said the Lieuten- ant-Governor - elect. “But I have had a variety of other in- forests too: politics, industry and sport."

As a politician, he has spent 44 yours in elected office at the various levels of government. He was first a councillor then recve of Gwillimbury Township; after that he sat in the Ontario legis-

lature: later he was elected to .

the Federal House of Commons and in 1935 was appointed to the Cabinet. He has won twelve cloc- tions in the constituency of Duf- ferin-Simcoe. representing that seat ever since it was created 38 years ago. Just before the war. there was a short break in his membership. when he was selected as leader of his party in the provincial field: he fought one campaign, lost. and return- cd to the House of Commons by means of an acclamatiou in the by-clection caused by his earlier resignation.

The long representation of his home riding has made him the Dean of the he inherited from his son-idolaw, the late Arza Casselman who

had represented Grenville-Dunn

The Air

Emphysema Is Increasing

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

FROM time to time we men- tion the fact that emphysema of the lungs Is on the rise. The number of victims in this coun- try has climbed to 10 million. There also has been an increase of more than 300 per cent in the reported deaths. The’ Social Se- curity administration bears out these statistics in that emphy- sema ls second only to hea disease as a cause of disability among workers in their fifth and sixth decades.

The air spaces of those with emphysema are overlnflated. In addition. the flow of air through thc bronchi is partially obstruc- ted and the blood supply to the walls of each sac is not normal. This adds up to a handicapped lung because stagnant air ac- cumulates in the organs and the ensuing lack of o x y g e 11 causes shortness of breath.

The obstruction ke e p 5 out fresh air and causes secretions to accumulate which in turn in- vile infection. This explains why the victim coughs so often and develops fresh colds. But even when oxygen ls available, the poor circulation through the lung tissues interferes with the absorption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide.

The cause of this lung disease is not known except that air pollution. including smoking, plays a role. But the picture is not as dark as it appears he-

Bronchodilators relax the air passageways to combat infection, cough, and the irritation from smoke and secretions. These are most ef- fective. The cxpcctorants, such as pottasium iodic, liquefy the secretions, making them easier to expel.
