if Term 29

This is an important week for Newfoundland. it may turn out. in- deed. to be one of the most moment- ous weeks in the Provincc's long history. The Royal Commission alt pointed to inquire into the Province's financial condition and to recom- lncnd an economic course for the future is holding hcarinfzs in 5"- John's. (ihief Justice Mai',Nair of the New P.nin.:wick Supreme ('ourt I: heading the (ionimission. and Newfoundland is represented by Sir Albert Walsh. Chief Justice of the l'lrovincc and a man well versed in its political and economic problems. The third member is Professor .lnhn l.eutsch of the l'nivcrsity of British ('nlumhia. Ncivfoundland's brief- more than Finn pagcs of it -is being handled by Mr. P. .l. l.ewis. promin- enl St. John's lawyer. and Mr. A. R. Pcrlin. associate editor of the St. John's Daily News.

Much will be said during the hearings. But .N'uwfounrlland'.s chief interest is in increased Fetierai grants. Premier Smallwood has ex- pressed the opinion that another still) million payable over a number of years will be made available. This lg probably an nver-optimistic figure; but it is to be noted that under the terms by which Newfoundland en- tered into union with ('?IflHFiR an upward revision of financial arrange- ments was provided for. in the event that this seemed fair and just after several years experience as a Prov- ince of ('anada. This was known as "Term 29": and it is on this clause that the Provincial Government has based its optimism and its claims.

When the Commission of Govern- mcnt relinquished its task in 1948. just prior to Confederation, New- foundland had I surplus of more than Sift million. Since then the Provincial Government has spent M0 million in transitional grants. Sill million in current cash surpluses and 344 million in borrowed funds on I 398 million capital account in an effort to improve public setyiccs. At the moment. the financial larder has very little in it. Although public services are Iaid to be much better than they were in 1949 (the stir- pluses were accumulated by scrimp- ing on serviccsl they still are below the standard considered necessary In other parts of the country.

What will happen if the ('om- mission does not recommend greatly increased Federal grant: is. of course. anybndy's guess. The Pro- vtncial Government. led by a very cheerful man. prefers not to look It that possibility and is confident that "Term 29" Mil bring another era of great prosperity. It will be many months. perhaps a year or two. before the final decision is made. Meanwhile, we wish our neigh- bors every success in their efforts to improve their economic position in every way open to them. We can only regret that some such formula as "Term 29" is not available to this Provim-e..whlch has never re- reiverl just treatment from the Fed- eral Government. i

tlcnl prominence hi die '30:. Vari- ous guesses have been made at it, but no sound exponition of its aims and purposes. Certainly. whatever the original economic formula may have been, there is nothing in it,. per se. to comme-n'd itself to the Canadian electorate in these days. This is not to suggest that I Social ('n'dit Government is any worse-or any better-than any other Govern- ment. ln the places where it has assumed power it seems to have done very well. making allowances for the special economic situation in which it works .But the theory itself has long since ceased to carry any appeal. Social (Tredit is just ailother party which appeals-or fails to ap- pcal- on its administrative merits. Perhaps the time has come when Social Credit would be much better off as I ”right wing" of some other party --say. the Progressive Conser- vatives with whom it has I good deal in common. Mr. Lowe's recent statement that he will support Prime Minister Diefenbaker in all things which are "good for t'anada" would scum to support that supposition.

The Late Mr. Roberts

The passing of Kenneth Roberts at ix":-nnebunkport. Maine. where he lived most of the year round from choice, removes from the American literary community one of its most skilled practitioners and from the American cultural scene one of its outstanding architects.

Mr. Roherls' novels were well known. Very few literary works had more influence on American society in general. litany honors came his way including a recent citation from the Pulitzer Prize Committee for "creating a great interest in early American history." it may be said, however. that his chief claim to fame lies in his high concept of art and in his recognition of the great responsibility which rests on the artist. whatever his special field may lie. His books. every one of them

as instructive: but he never com- ipromised with shoddiness or with those base characteristics which so many modern novelists seem to con- sider necessary for the promotion of sales. lie had no truck with obs-t-enity under the guise of "real- ity". and he had the happy faculty of making the wholesome aspects of life interesting and attractive. in Maine. where he was regarded as I favorite son and a good neigh- bor to all. Mr. Robcrts' memory will remain for ever green. In the nation as I whole and far beyond its bord- ers he will be revered as one who held high the standards of his craft and was resolute against all those influenccs'whlch sought to corrupt them.

A good many Canadians are still hoping that the Prime Minister will make the Speaker's position a per- mancnt one. The office is so import- ant under our system of government that the best man available should be picked for it irrespective of his political label.

SEASON'S GREETINGS

OTTAWA REPORT

Mr. Harris' Future

I y

(illuua A personality now very much missed from the Ottawa scene is non! other than the man once heavily favoured to succeed Mr. St. Laurent as leader of the Libsral Party This is lion Walter Harris. former Minister of Finance. House l.eadcr. and M!" for Grey- Rruce He is now plain Mr Har- ris. ex-MP. Ind lawyer in the lit- tle Ontario town of Mnrkdale

Walter Harris was defeated by his Conservative opponent. Erie Winkler. In one of the election re- sults winch was not a complete sur- prise, Ilthnugh the tumbling of I TltIn IlwIyI comes with the lm pact of I shock lmng tietnre poll- ing day. Mr. Harris was saying that lie was in trouble with his farm vote, while at the same iirl Conservative strategists were say- ing thIt "Harrie could be henten”.

Mr. Harris was considered here Itter the election to be I mIn thoroughly beaten mcnlnllv. lie seemed to blame his defeat-wronm ly. l believe-as a personal failure. especially in respect of his last budget.

That budget was. II this column commented at the time, neither In'adequIte anti-inflnion econom- ic weapon nnr a good political ele ctlon weapon. But the blame for thIr must not be laid on Mr liIr- rlI' broad shoulders For It was cer- tainly not the budget which he would have introduced had the de- rision been his alone it here the imprint of compromise resulting from strong conflict within the Cnblnet.

AFTER WATERL00. WHAT?

Now the question arises: What is Mr. ltarris' future?

l

Patrick Nlcholuui

If he stays in ylarliriale. he will be out of the public. eye and even out of the polltlciamr minds by rusticatlng in Grey t'nunt.V- it? Will virtually abdicate his claim to consideration as the next leader of the Liberal Party

There are two steps which arc essential if Mr. Harris is to re- sume his prominent place in the 0tt.IwI limelight.

He is of such seniority among parliamentary Liberals. and of such importance in the future of his party. that he could justiflIbly expect some lesser sin to make I sacrifice for him.

I would nominne for this role ni well-rewarded sacrificial lamb .lo.uIph nmer Gour. the 63 year- old French Canadian Liberal mem- ber for the very Liberal riding of Russell. on the Intern outskirts of 0ltnwI. Russell hu not return- ed any member but I Liberal in 75 years. in fIcl. it has only once gwen its Liberal candidate. less than a thumping majority in 50 years. lhIt wII when. in the IMO Bennett sweep. the sitting Liberal had his majorly cut to I still com- forable l,5lt7 voles

So Mr. (Pour might unsclfishly resign his seat. hIppy in the pro- mise of I senalorship Is rewIrd when later electoral victory once again brings the Liberals into po- wer. Mr. HI"-is should then be in- vited to run in the ensuing b.v-elcc- tion, which he would probably win by ncclamntion

Mr. Harris should also seek the opportunity to ti-Iiuter his luv prIctlce from fIrIwIy Max-kdale tn hub-centre Ottawa--there are many law firms here which would
