U.S. Farm Program Canadian farm organizations will be. specially interested in the hear-
_ ings now under way at Washington on
President Johnsons controversial farm products bill. With several new twists, it continues the price support program. endeavoring to protect farm #pcome at moderate levels. It also gims -at curtailing production in a
~ Jimited and) voluntary way.
Of the tig farm organizations the National Grange has given most sup- port to the measure. The National Farmers Union. more concerned with the plight of the less affluent farm- ers. would have preferred that it go
' further toward raising farm income
The jarcest and most conservative of the farm organizations. the American Farm Bureau Federation. opposes it on the cround that it would “ask con sumers to pay higher food prices to perpetuate a program designed to keep producers dependent on govern- ment handouts.” The National Farm Organization. a newer. and smaller group. has sponsored programs to

either case the solution is difficult to’
accomplish without creating more serious problems.
And so it goes. The House of Rep- resentatives now has the problem of sorting out the wheat from the chaff in the bill's previsions. One thing em-

All Part OF the Game |
Like most Canadian newspapers, the Toronto Globe and Mailis scep- tical of what it calls “the Perils-of- Pauline game” which is being plaved in Parliament Hill these days. with the Government apparently “clinging with the tips of its fingers to a cliff:
mav at anv moment dislodge it into an election.” In line with our own comments of last week, but carrying them a step further. the Toronto Paper sees this as a farcical perform-

“The fact of the matter.” says our Toronto contemporary. “is that such accidents and outbursts no longer occur. if they ever did. When a government is going to fall both sides know it. as they knew it when the government of John Diefenbaker fell in 1963. It is prearranged. Can- ada has not had a government ac- cidentally defeated since that of the Hon: Arthur Meighen in 1926. and there has been considerable scepti- cism about how accidental that oc- currence was.
“The fiction that a minority zov- ernment may be unexpectedly upset in divisions is perpetuated because the parties would have us believe that members vote on issues from principle. though it brings on an un- wanted election. The truth is far dif-
. ferent. The Opposition will defeat the
Government if the Opposityon parties believe they will do better jn the en- suing election. The ment
forces the Opposition to defeat it if the Government believes it wili do better in the ensuing election. They are playing with our votes. not theirs.”
This puts the whole thing on a purely partisan basis, leaving us be reft of the hope that either side wants, very much, to change the rules of the game.

The sea-going mammals are the latest fad in household pets for those who can afford and have a place to board a por- poise.

The comparisons with pre-war conditions are too close to he ignored entirely And no one who watched the conference in San Francisco that set up the UN ® years ago could Say that its hopes have been borne out by the present state of the world ‘or of the UN
But inside the UN itself there is reluétance: to accept the thesis that history must re- peat itself
The attitude is based on two frequently expressed argu- ments
1. The United -Nations should not be thought of as a second attempt at creating world order but rather a extensior, of the original unsuccessful” attempt
2 Several entirely new ele
ments- have been added te world attitudes on war and
international organization
Most important among these new clements is the coming of the nuclear age... making major
nique for furthering national aims The big powers, wanting to avoid big wars, have a new Incentive to set. up, machinery. to isolate the small ones
A second element is the grow. ing relief that. for the first time, practical methods are be- ing developed to eliminate areas of poverty and cycles of depression. The hope is these methods: can be exploited to eliminate’ some of the social tensions breeding smal! wars
UN diplomats see some divi- dends already from these two elements. although they have not- been enough to lift the or- ganization out of its deadlock over methods of peace-keeping.
STILL NEGOTIATING
While: this dispute. has immo- bilized the UN. fhey say, the fact the roots of the problems are being examined is healthy. And they are encouraged by the fact the bic powers have de- clined either to push the issue to a showdown or to give up
. Negotiations completely.
There also are many diplo- mats who believe Russia and the United States. in current peace keeping negotiations, have for the first time moved away from their set positions and are getting down to serious horse-trading
They see a chance for a com- promise hefore the end of the summer between the Russian view only the Security Council can set up and finance peace forces and the American view the General Assembly also can do so if the council fails to act because of a veto
If these negotiations do suc- ceed, it will mark the first time since San Francisco the big twe have agreed on a practical set

lopment. that would put the whole UN in a much more hope- ful mood
