Some may see it as an aspect of Mr. Tom Kent’s war on poverty. Others perhaps will attribute it to Mr. Drury, who rolls out the barre! for industry in ‘our nation’s ‘capital. No doubt there will be other candidates, in- cluding Mr. Gordon, whose economic pranks have done so much to banish dull care from the House of Com- mons. But there should be credit for all; indeed there is a growing con- viction afong ill-disposed persons

lying mainly on credit in the joyous days ahead.”

Recalling Old Times

A welcome visitor to the Prov- ince at this time is the Hon. Sir Leon Gotz, New Zealand High Commission- er and former Minister of Internal Affairs in the New Zealand Govern- ment, who is warm in his apprecia- tion of our Island charms and partic- ularly of the well-kept appearance of our rural communities. It is Sir Leon’s first visit to these parts, but he felt at home immediately on learn- ing that we have a New Zealand set- tlement here, the name dating back to 1858 when there was an emigra- tion from this colony to parts of his own ther’ undeveloped island. We also had the pleasure of reminding him of the cordial relations New Zea- land air force men established here in the course of their training for ac- tive service during the Second World War.

Our Cornmonwealth ties with New .

Zealand are indeed very real, despite the distance which separates us Zeo- graphically. It seemed an insurmount- able distance back in that fall of 1858; but that did not prevent the brig “Prince Edward,” under Newland, from. clearing the port of Charlottetown for Auckland, where . arrived with ite cargo of settlers “‘i perfect safety, all hands in aellent health,” after a passage of five and ‘one-half months.

The immigrants all had to be, as the Auckland Waste Land Act spect- fied, “‘persons of good character and sober, steady habits.” They had to make the voyage at their own cost, but on arrival “in Auckland every adult was-entitled to select 40 acres of government land in any part of the province set apart for special. settle- ment, free of cost except for the

_ agent’s fee of 10 shillings and the ex-

pense of the survey atthe time-of taking possession of the land.

Many of the settlers wrote back -

to their friends here in-glowing terms respecting their new home, and they and their families continued to: com- municate for many years across the _ dividing seas. Some of their descend-

“ants may still be keeping in touch in

this way, but unfortunately we have no records to go by in the matter. Nor have we ever seen a complete list of the passengers the ‘Prince »Edward” carried in that memorable migration. The local newspapers did not publish it, being, as it seems, too

busily engaged in political contro- .

versy. 3 For such a list, today, we would

~ swap all the politicalspeeches—and

political editorials of the period, but unfortunately the omission can’t be remedied in that manner. Perhaps Sir Leon could ascertain whether the list’ was ever published in Auckland,

and if so, whether a copy could be |

obtained for our archives? It would be of great. interest to’ many people here, and would round out a chapter in our Island story which we wish, very much, to keep fresh and green.

Government Giveaways

We seem. comments Maurice Western in the Winnipeg Free Press, to have passed a watershed. in the matter of government giveaways. A national boating polity appears to be involved in Prime Minister Pear-

‘gon’s promise to Vancouverites that

federal cash would be spent to pro- vide harbors for pleasure craft, and it is reasonable to assume that sim-

ilar concessions will be expected by | _other recreational groups across the |

country. The critics who suggested only recently that, with the passage of the Canada Pension Plan and the

commitment to medicare, the govern- ©

ment had exausted its stock of spend- ing ideas, have been! shown as the pikers they are! ©

“In the days to come,” says the Free Press writer drily, “there will’

* probably be much debate about the - true authorship™ of

the new policy.

Captain |

state was’ just around the corner. But the idea of a one-shot, transcontinen- tal celebration and a 1968 hangover is not one-:to inspire forward-looking Canadians. What we are now promis- ed is the permanent binge.”

Mr: Western is an outstanding ‘Liberal commentator. His views on this subject are expressed at length in a blistering article couchedkin jocu- lar terms which make it none the less effective. He concludes as follows:

“It is a splendid prospect and it is to be hoped that no one will allow joy to be tarnished by the problem of payment.. Fortunately there is always an economist to justify any-

of fact,,mention tourism and it may be that, as we pursue unity through unending mardi gras, we shall pull in so many American dollars that our financial problems will bubble away in'a sea of champagne. As Mr. ~Micawber-. used -to_say,_‘Something will turn up. ’ Phe less said about his other observations, the happier we shall be as we embark for new and glorious adventures in whoopee land.”

At least when it comes to subsi- dizing hobbies, the government shouldn’t forget golf clubs and“bowl- ing greens. What about annual’grants to keep the wolf from their doors?

- Calling Them Up -

-Among--the-executive-orders-sign- ed recently by President Johnson was one making men ‘aged 19 to 26 who marry subject to the same draft reg- ulations as single men. This isa di- rect consequence of the Viet’ Nam crisis, and-of the-gravity of the man- power problem it has created.

For almost two years, U.S. sel- ective service passed over the newly married. The reason was economy and convenience for the military. A married GI receives greater benefits than a single man, and the army has found that separating a young man from his wife creates problems that may keep him from being a good soldier. As long as the -manpower pool was large and the draft calls —_Were..small, excusing the — eer

could be justified.

But not-any longer. The draft calls are up and are expected to level off at 34,000 a month. The Pentagon also is planning to put three. national

' guard divisions and three brigades of each of the national guard and re- serve in a priority status. Should they

‘sbe called to active duty, many htis- bands and fathers would go. To let the newly married stay home under such-conditions-would-be-tnfair:

As the Millwaukee Journal sees it, there is much to be said against giving draft age men an escape route via the altar.

' first nine months after President Kennedy reduced-the priority of mar- ried men, the marriage rate of men

“aged 20 and 21 increased 11 per cent The marriage rate has also risen since the Viet Nam war was stepped

up.

There is food for thought for Can- adians in the fact that our si neighbors take military conscription as a matter of course. There will cer- tainly be no general outcry over tightening the regulations at this time. The nation is prepared to ac- cept such measures in the interests of the state. Perhaps it is just as well that our politicians who prate so much about “national unity” in this country don’t have to put it to the same acid test! Even when all our freedoms were at stake durin ing years _

of world conflict, conscription. prov-~

ed a thorny issue, and there are

. demagogues still among us who boast

- of the part they played in opposing it.
