Sixty-Six Of Them
The question of shared—cost pro- grams. about which much was heard in connection with the lust fedoral-provir-cial Confluence. has wide ramifications. This is evid- enced by the fact that there are 66 of these programs. reprcsenting an annual federal outlay of $900 mil- lion. The chief one. hospital insur- iiiicc. costs Ottawa $120 million; it applies to all provinces, .is do unem- ployment assistance ($110 million), and pensions to the blind and dis- ableri.
Sf)
But apart from the fairly straight- forward health and welfare pro- grams. there are a host of others. with varyini.r applicability and vary- iiii: mothods of (inst-sharing. These arc roviowcrl in a recent, issue of the Toronto Globe and Mail, which notes that some apply only to one lll'()\'lll(‘(‘. sonic to two. some to three f‘llfl so on. With some of them. the participating pruriiices put. up 20 pol" cent of :ho money; with others. the provincial sliure may be 35 or .30 or 80 per cent.
Thus. the federal-provincial pro-
gra m ( till?) for construction of potui o wu rohouscs takes in only Prince Edwu rd Island. Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and British Colum- bia: the provincial share is 37 per cont. There are COSLRihal'illg pro- grams for construction of roads to Indian reservations; for fitness and amateur sport; for the abolition of railway grade crossings.
Only one province has an abso- lute. constitutional objection to the shared-cost programs. This is Que- bec. which at last week 5 conference flatly announced its desire and in- tention to carry on each program by itself. with Ottawa making persona income tax revenue available to Quebec at a rate equivalent to the federal sharing grants Quebec now receives. This crmtracting-out ar- rangement will “immediately” be- come the subject of talks between Ottawa and Quebec.

POTATO PROBLEMS

As Ilic growin: of potatoes is the Island‘s primary industry and a source from which the majority of our people derive in- come it seems logical to assume that all Islandcrs are d u ty- bouiid to act as “warriors on the field of battle“. and rouse them- selves to thc scnse of awareness that efforts must be expended to protect and advance this all-im- portant industry.
During the pasl "fighting wars" no Islander was ever ac-

cvuscd of displaying a lack of ‘
battle spirit; it only now for Islanders to adjust by applying this same battle spirit to non-fightin: economic battles at home and for the home. and

this applies to "all" levels of i
Island dwellers.
In a reccni Montreal publica- tion II was stated that the use of lessor amounts of nitrogen fertilizer would tend toward oar- licr dccomposifion of the potato plant by frost. as well as lesser amounts of over-size tubers. If this bit of Information Is Import- ant to Island potato growers. —- and judging from recent heated debates in the Island Legisla- lure I would assume that it .5 important as this is an Island- wide problem in production ~ then let it be applied in our po- tato growing industry. Would this not be the Intelligent meth- od of abolishing the use of toxm spray material which not only kills potato tops but our cattle and birds. as well as the fish in our streams? This would be the "ounce of prevention" method that has been advocated in our civilization for many past genera ations and to good advantage.
It could probably serve as well-timed piece of advice. and proper adjustments of the ole- mpnt "nitrogen" could he made durlng the processes of our spring planting operations.
There has also been an aware- ness for many past years of a marketing problem. In this age of verticul integration the diffi- cultles posed In the department

"AS ONE AMERICAN"
Sir.-- I wish to say at the off- set. that I enjoy your papcr. The Guardian. with an inviting curiosity and much praise. Most of the articles are written with intcrcsr and intelligence. which is more than I can say for most of the journalism here in the U.S. The world could use morc journalists like Patrick Nichol- son and the Canadian Press staff writers.
Like most everything you can- not plcasc all the people all the time so ill disagree with two articles you quoted from other sources. I do so in a respectful vay. In your March 17 ISSUP. Amaz- ing New Devices. (London Free Press. I feel that the compari- son oftlie Laser Gun and Inc Artificial Hand are cut of con- text. We too have givcn much to the world in the medical field as
f
l
by the same lokcn the Russians -
are also in the development of a Laser \vcapon. It should be not ed that the U.S. does not have a monopoly on the knowledge of the Laser Beam. I cannot help
but wonder if the origin of these ‘
devices had been the other way around would the author of that article have written If that way.
Another article In the March 16 issue, No com for Retreat. (Globe and Mail. Toronto). I would like the author to know ((9 is under a miscomprehension when he writes. "the tendency of U.S. Administrations has been to take posittve stands either for
l l
l
or against any major Issue of ‘
foreign poltcy. and then to sell these stands to the U.S. people. so effectively that I future change of mind becomes Impos- sible." And further on he writes that any llbernllzlng of these a)- (itudes would be viewed as at. most treasonable.
[as one American can only speak for myself. but I would not consider If. to be (reasonable if my government had a change
of mind In South Vietnam. For- .
mosa or Cuba for I respect their judgment. But I would never be able to hold my head up or look my fellow man in the face again it this happened. If a skilled dID' lomat never taken two steps for- ward without kecplmz cnouuh ground under his feet to fat back one. then I would rather he brought to my knees for takina three steps forward.
