Choosing A Cabinet

Une of the many difficult tasks awaiting Prime Minister Diefenbaker is the naming of a Cabinet to share with him the responsibilities of of- fice. Not that thcre is any shortage of potential ministers. Indeed, this Province has elected men among whom a most suitable choice could he made; and the hope and expecta- tion is that when the slate is coni- plclnil we shall find ourselves no longer dcprivcd of proper cabinet rr-lil'ilsriilt'zllirlll.

The simple way, of course, woilld he for each Prov- incc to he givcil two men: but llllli would he neither pi'aciic'.ihle nor wise.

'The High Cost Of Food

Figures presented to la Commit- tnn or the United States ('oiigi'css recently. silggest that whereas farm prices have declined by 13 per cent during the last ten years. the cost of feeding the average family of fnur p(vrg(ln.s; in tile UllliPfl Si”dii'S has gone up 3.3 per cent during the same period. notwithstanding the billinns of dollars worth of farm products held by the Government because thcrc is no ready market for thrm. Other United States Go"- ernment fiinlrcs indicate that the average family spends on food about 29 per cent. of all consumption cx- penditures for goods and servii-es, another 37 per cent for the floods of all other kinds that are bought in ltnres, and the remainder on serv- kem frog" laundry and haircuts lo u-nnsportationk nent and utilities.

Tlllring the campaign Mr. Si, l.ailrent put off the civil service by sayilig the matter should wait for a mandate from the voters. The votcrs' mandate went against him. A si't'l”illliIllQ devotion to constitu- iltilllil ciiililctic should have prevent- ed the govcrnmcilt from dealing with anything except the most urgent matters, alld tllcn only after con- silltaliun with the prospective new lirinic Ministcr, Mr. Diefenbakcr. The ciiil SPl1'lPP. if it collld be con- silltcrl. would probably prefer to have miilcri for Mr. l)lPTOIll1Rl(('r. in any case. since his position is under- stood to favor a somewhat higher scale of increase. As it stands, we have the situation of a defeated gov- ernment spending Slltl,t)0tl,00t) of its budget sill-plus and tying the hands. to this extent. of its IlI('Ce8S0l' In office.

Anotlicr criticism of the govern- lnnnt is of its discourtesv in not placing a planc at the disposal of Mr. Ilicfcnhakcr as soon as his vic- inigv at the polls became known. He was left to find his own way from Saskatclicwan to Ottawa. willie dc- featcd Defence Minister Ralph Campncy and Fisheries Minister .lamcs Sinclair flew from British Columbia in the plane often used by the Prime Minister. This may be regard: ll as a small matter; but the leaders of hnill the major pArtlPI should rcalizc that cvcry action they tnkc is under microscopic study by the public at the present time. They would be well advised to avoid even a suspicion of partisanship un- til the change-over is completed and Parliament meets.

p MAIN OUTCOMK

The main outcome of the inert- in: has been - as I see it . to make it clear that the avowed aims at the Part are iili real aimii. its activities are concerned with do- fence and security against aggres- sion from without. not with policies or conflicts inside the area. It is an Instrument of collective do- fence.

There are. l llnnw. many cru- in who disapprove of rven ihu. Asian and African rnunirlex rar-

. thcr removed from the Soviet Uli-

inn are. naturally. less apprehen- slve about possible danger from the north than are Russia's near- nellzhbouis. The Turks and Iran- fans. for example. still remember those Sovici aspirations in the dir- H'll0ll of the Persian Gulf which Mnloinv discussed with Ribberr trnp. The Turks have not forgotten the demand for the cesslon of Karl: and Ardahan: nor the Iran- ians the setting-up in I945 or the People's Republic of Azcrbaldjan.
