ready beginning to mellow with suc- cess. Who would have imagined, for example, the former leader of the Opposition saying. dllring the lasL hectic session of Parliament. or at any time during the election cam- paign. that, if elected he would st rive to continue——and, “if pos— siblc," cxpandv—t he work of the Conservative government in the field of defense and production- sharing—a program which meant more.than $100,000.000 annually in U.S. defense contracts for Canadian firms in recent years? Yet this was the course he laid down for his gov- ernment in a talk with newsmen at Ottawa before taking off on his cur- rent visit, to England.

Who would have imagined him, prior to the election, telling a group of Canadian senior civil servants that he was "glad to acknowledge the achievements" of the Diefen- baker government in the matter of trade promotion, and that his own government would be “happy to carry on" the movement? This Is another excerpt from Mr. Pearson's remarks before leaving Ottawa this

' week. His words were received with

applause, atld deservedly so. But. they just go to show the difference, on which we commented recently In another context, between the per- spective one gets in being on the Inside looking out, and in being on the outside looking in.

Mr. Pearson now sees, and frankly concedes, good points in the Conservative record which he hopes to emulate. is not surpass. It is to his credit that he has conceded them so promptly. There is no point l‘ll complaining that he should have seen them before, since it was not, his business to do so. His role in Opposition was to criticise. He will not, of course. have reason to com- plain il' lhe same tactics are em- ployed against his own administra- tive. record. In the meantime. how- ever, the general public will wish him well in his endeavor to heal old political WOllndS, and start on a more equitable basis in assessing

national policies than it was feasible

‘Eo do when appealing for votes.

Such oddities go hand. in hand with a remarkable aptitude for keeping abreast of the times. One shouldn't. need to be reminded that Britain gave the world the steam engine, and created the industrial revolution which has had impact all round the world. More recently British inventive genius has been responsible. in large part, for penicil- lin. television, radar, the jet engine, to name but a few modern develop- ments.

Now—to offset the need for trained instrumors—British educa- tionists are g i v i n g increasing

thought to stepping up the use of mechanical aids in teaching. Re- search training and its educational possibilities has already been conducted by the universities of Aberdeen and Sheffield; and in the House of Commons the other

day it was predicted that this method would become “one of the foremost weapons in our task to

which we are Committed, namely, the modernization of Britain.”

Meanwhile, let’s hope that. in their zeal for modernization the re— formers will leave untouched the Old customs. which are still delight- fully with the country as it moves bravely into the future.

Quebec Tax Demands

According to the Montreal Gazette, a federal-provincial confer- ence is likely to be held this year to explore the troubled fiscal rela- tions between Ottawa and the prov- inces. “Troubled” is the word. All provincial governments have made it clear that they would like a larger share of the nation’s tax revenues, but Quebec has made some startling demands that have pushed other claims into the background.

Just before the April 8 election Premier Lesage served blunt. notice that Quebec’s “minimum demands” were exclusive occupancy of 25 per cent of the personal income and corporation fields, and 100 per cent of succession duties. These conces- sions would have to be made avail- able to the governments of the other provinces; and quite apart from the deficit budgetary position in which the new Federal government finds itself. there is the gravest doubt that it could afford to surrender the many hundreds of millions of dollars involved, and still carry out its federal responsibilities.

Mr. Pearson has promised, how- ever, to provide what is termed “full equalization” of provincial revenues from the direct taxes shared with Ottawa. He has also promised—with an eye to Quebec ——to provide financial compensation to provinces which wish to contract out, of any new federal provincial joint. program. He has said that his government will, if the provinces wish, withdraw from joint programs that are well established—such as old age assistance and pensions for the blind and disabled. In with- drawing, Ottawa would compensate the provinces for their share of the cost by lowering its own direct taxa- tion and increasing its equalization payments.

At no tinIe have the federal Liberals contemplated a retreat from the direct tax fields on such a massive scale as the Quebec gov- ernment is now demanding. But Mr. Pearson will have to cope with this demand, which Premier Lesage says he intends to press “unflinchingly”. Also deeply inVolved will be Hon. Maurice Lamontagne, president of the Privy Council, and designated as the federal cabinet: minister dir- ectly responsible for federal-provin— cial relations.

EDITORIAL NOTES

This evening the Prime Minister and Mrs. Pearson are dining with Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle, where they will stay until tomorrow morning. It will be a high-water mark in their London visit, and we venture to say that they have with them the very best wishes of Canadians of all political views.

Trade Promotion Scheme Paying Off

The biggest trade promotion! ever launche by any country‘ has just swamped Canada from I coast to coast with buyers and, exporters representing an csti-. mated $15 billion in annual inter- national trade.

“Operation World Markets"; was proposed by former Tradel Minister George Hecs many months ago. and was planned by his eager and efficient staff of departmental officials. led by Assistant Deputy Minister Le 3

Brown, who has accumulated Immense know - how In that field.

Part One, which was calledl “World Markets - Machinery." brought 171 buyers from 54 for-l eign countries to tour 152 Ca-; nadian plants. to see what we: have to sell.

Part Two, the National Samp-l lea Show, brought 598 buyersl from all States of the Union,l

from Western Europe and th e ! vel

West Indies, to see the products i of 386 Canadian producers dis-; played at the Canadian Nation-; al Exhibition grounds in Tor-j onto.

Part Three brought 136 Cana-, dian Trade Commissioners. from their posts all round the world. to confer together In Ottawa.’ And as the final programme. those Trade Commissioners held ‘ 12.261 interviews with represen-f tativcs of 1,140 Canadian export-' ers to explain to them what they : could sell in which foreign. markets.

OUR NEED TO EXPORT Canada must export, or diet economically. For eight years in I a row in the Nineteen Fiftiesu we bought more goods from‘ other countries than we sold to them. On top of that trade defi- cit, we always have substan- tial minus signs on our balance of international payments for non - trade items, such as tourism and the paymcnl of di- vidends and interest on foreign capital. insurance and shipping payments, and the like. Any country in our position. with substantial foreign capital in- vested here. must achieve a surplus of exports over Imports. to pay our way. d we must sell abroad as much as we buy, otherwise we are exporting jobs and importing unemployment. The "George ees" era at the Department of Trade a n d Commerce to correct our unacceptable trade picture; In 1961. for the first time in‘ nine years, we sold more than we bought. But still not enough. i

THE RECENT typhold out- breaks here and there nerve to remind us not to be too com- placent about some of our old enemies. A few cases are en- ough to make th front pages of many newspa re today but at one time. more than one- thlrd of all patients seen by physicians were victims of this disease. Thls was before the days of modern sanltation and the typhoid vacclne.

The Infection continues to plague us because there are many typhoid carriers In the United States and each I: a po- tential source of-a widespread epidemic. How troublesome th e s 9 carriers are depends where they live. and what they

do.

Those who handle food for public consumption and dairy workers are the most menac- ing. Others contaminate the water or milk supply. Food be- comes a source of infection when the dishes are washed with Infected water or the car- rier spreads the germs via the hands. Travelers to countries where sanitary conditions are poor must be on the alert for typhoid and other intestinal dis- orders because the majorlty of such diseases are passed along In this way, The vaccine is re- commended for those traveling in out of the way places.

The majority of carriers have. had typhoid and recovered but nests of organisms remai In the body long after the active stage subsides. The b a c 1111 favor the gall bladder and ac- casionally the liver. Most of our modern carriers do not re-

The total mlleage covered by the men of "Operation World Markets' has been estimated at approximately equivalent to one man making five round trips to the Moon, or to one astronaut making 100 complete circuits of the Earth in his Space capsule.

The bill? About $250,000 - paid by the Canadian Government.

The Solar Eclipse

National Geographic Soclety

L l k e an airplane's shadow sweeping along the ground, the shadow of the moon will trace from Japan eastward to the At- lantic Ocean on July 20-21, 1963.

As the moon passes across and eclipses the face of the sun, it will bring momentary night to the northern Islands of Japan, the North Pacific, and parts of Alaska. Canada, and Malne.

n those places the solar eclipse will be total. Elsewhere In that segment of the Northern Hemisphere. the sun wlll be only partially obscured. PERPLEXED MONARCHS
