os 4 : A Gloomy Picture — ‘The UN General’ Assembly was

&

destribed as opening its 21st session

yesterday in an atmosphere of gloom, with East-West relations seriously impaired by the Viet Nam war and with little prospect of progress on major issues. Although the war is not formally on the assembly's agenda, it is expected to play a major role both in the general debate which begins later’ this week, and in the dis- cussions of disarmament, outer space law and other issues: =

Never in the two decades of th UN under three secretaries-general has there been such a scarifying an- nual report as. that, delivered by U Thant. “The international situation

~"has not improved. The cloud over Viet Nam has grown larger and more ominous. Nuclear as well as conven- tional armaments have developed apace. Comparatively little has hap- pened to brighten the prospects of those who occupy two-thirds of the world where’ poverty, disease, ignor-- ance and lack of opportunity are the | most.conspicious facts of daily life .. . The powerful nations have not during ‘this period-shown themselves able to rise above the suspicions, fears and misgivings that spring from their dif- ferent ideologies and from their dif- ferent conceptions of the best ferests of the rest of the world; nor the rich nations above their con-. cern for the continuation-of their own prosperity.”

And so on, and on. A jeremiad over the appalling results of power politics,.of selfish nationalism, and failure to meet the most urgent prob- lems of human concern. One of these problems—that of food scarcity—is actually becoming worse as time goes on, despite ‘all the progress in scien- tific. techniques. Quite recently, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture had oc-

casion to issue the following warn- .

ing: ‘Mass famine in the 1980's can- not be prevented unless the less-de- veloped countries do more in the next

five years ‘to feed themselves. By ©

then, because of world population growth, the United States, Canada and other developed agricultural countries will no longer have the food potential to prevent sucha disaster.”

At about the same time; in Paris, a special assistant to the U.S. State Secretary had this to say: “Food re serves in the world’s ‘bread basket’ are getting so low that a single year

of drought in Canada and the United |

States would cause worldwide deaths through starvation.” And closer home, the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture announced: “Canada’s role is*to increase the production of goods having high nutritional value in suf- ficient volume to feed its own, grow- ing population. Unless steps are taken now to bring this about, Canada and Canadians could join the ‘hungry’ : tries.’ The department has cal- led a special conference on agricul- turé for next month to discuss the problem. ae But its worldwide implications must be evident to all. It should have top billing on the agenda of the UN Assembly at this time. Unfortunately there is little chance of that in the circumstances.

From Bad To Worse?

In Toronto, civic politics have got- ten into such a state that serious con- sideration is being given to adopting the political party system At present,

ing 6f favors. and nobody can be held responsible when things go wrong. It is argued that the introduction of political parties would bring an im- mediate improvement in the system. _ It would afford some guarantee that | a candidate would be called to ac- count for his promises, would furnish a loyal and coherent opposition to any existing municipal regime and would offer an alternative when the regime in power lost popular confidence. The Toronto Star appears to be sold on this idea, as the only way of providing the “discipline and. co- hesion” necessary for effective gov- ernment on the municipal level. That may be so in the big Ontario metro- polis, though we venture to saw that it's a’ solution likely to raise more problems than it will solve. Certain- ly.we find no reason for wanting to {get rid of what The Star calls the “non-partisan fetish” in our munici-

system into widespread disrepute. Nor does’ a week pass, we notice, without several editorial blasts from Toronto papers on this very subject. .

Excuse: Our Cynicism!

New Brunswick set ‘a fine ex- ample’ at last. week's fedeéral-provin- cial conference, says. the Moncton : Transcript. It commends the prov- ince’s finance and industry minister, Mr. DesBrisay, for having “hailed the new equalization formula proposal by the federal government.” Lest the cynical should say this was to be expected since it provides substan- tially higher payments, the Moncton paper goes on to point out that while

matters considerably,” many ‘times this sum would be required for the gap between New Brunswick and the “have’’ provinces to be closed.

It_ adds. that “if selfish determin- ation to gouge more and more out of Ottawa were this province's aim— as it appears to be the aim of some other provinces, the New Brunswick delegation would have been far less- receptive to the proposals.” But Mr. DesBrisary was careful to make clear that it was New Brunswick's “loyalty to a united Canada” that caused him to hail the new formula with such enthusiasm.

Far be it from us to disparage such. laudable ‘motives. But when our. Moncton contemporary goes on to say that “if all provinces held sim- ilar views this nation would be strong and united as never before.”’ we-con- fess that we find the moral far- fetched. What sentiments, we wonder would Mr. DesBrisay—or The Trans- cript either—be voicing if instead of -$15,700.000 he was offered a beggar- ly..$200,000.increase,-or-the- equiva- lent on a per capita basis?

New Plant For Borden

The announcement that the Mari- time Cement Company Limited will build_a $200,000 cement storage-and distribution plant near Borden, and that construction will begin immed- | iately with the plant schediled to be | in operation early in. 1967, is) good | news. Not only will the plant be in a

| position to serve the needs of the new causeway construction but it will be a"permament source of suppiy for ’ building programs throughout the province, as well as of employment on a steady: basis. It should serve, also,

as an inducement to other industries *

| to locate in the Borden area, thus off- setting any disadvantage that may ac- ; cure when the current car ferry, traf- | fic is routed via the causeway.

Both our provincial and federal | authorities have given assurance that help in establishing new industries will be forthcoming in this area, and

| there is ‘no reason why it should not become. in time, one of the busiest | industrial areas vf the province. In | this case, however, credit is due to a _ Charlottetown corporation, Indus- | trial Enterprise Inc., for negotiating with the cement company, and thus setting an example of “enterprise” in the best tradition of public service. .

THOUGHT FOR INDIAN SUMMER

Even the denizéns. of Parlia- ment Hill find it hard to follow the devious and shifting patterns of the leadership struggle with- in each of the four parties in fe deral politics. A map of the

social welfare shoals on the po- litical” spectrum, horoscopes of all the rivals, and a close check on the lunch-time dates of each — these would help one to un- derstand each move.

And I. mean all four parties. Personal rivalry between Al-

obstacle to the desirable reunion of the Western and Quebec wings of the Social Credit party.

New Democrat leader Tom- my Douglas needs a hearing aid, if he cannot detect behind him the heavy breathing of his, de- puty, David Lewis, who appears to be Parliament Hill's most eager leadership aspirant.

At least nine present’ or, past figures in federal or provincial politics have their eyes on — or are hoped to be eyeing — the leadership of Canada’s Conser- vitives (which is not the same thing as “the mantle of John Diefenbaker’’).

SCRIMMAGE AT THE TOP Among the Liberal cabinet, every speech and spat, every policy’ and promise, is motivat- ed by. someone's personal - or promoted ambition. For we are already seeing the dog-eat-dog struggle to succeed to the only leader who seems anxious to be succeeded as soon as possible (though presemably not before his ‘‘pension day’’, April 22 next, worth $16,667 per year for life to ints : . The Liberals are going through a power struggle be- tween Quebec, which has no pre- sent candidate, and the rest of Canada, which has too many; an ideological struggle between the true Liberals and the Big-State | socialists; a flag struggle be- | tween those who- support the Li- | beral Maple Leaf and those who would be happier beneath the Stars and Stripes; and — a 20th

granted — a battle between the older wiser generation and the impatient young innovators. | These: Liberal divergences will | be argued in smoke-filled hotel rooms when the Liberal party tolds its national convention here | in Ottawa next month. It is pos- sible that Prime Minister Pear- | son will drop a hint about his in- | tentions; he may even suggest

October 1967 as the appropriate

time for a Liberal leadership | convention.

It is unlikely that the Conser- vatives’ national convention, in Ottawa in the following month, will hear anything so definite, altough many ears will be at- tuned to catch such a hint
