Was He Double-Crossed?

=. Tt is well known that Hon. Rob- H. Winters, former cabinet min- ister in the St. Laurent government, . was subjected to powerful pressure by Prime Minister Pearson and oth- er Liberal big-wigs to re-enter the political field in this federal cam- paign. an impressive business career for himself, and had rejected Liberal en- treaties to be a candidate in the 1962 and 1963 contests. On this occasion the party overtures were redoubled and he finally agreed to stand for election in York West constituency.

The Prime Minister let it be known that a senior cabinet post: awaited .him> In the light of Mr. Gordon’s fumblings, the business community believed it would be the finance port- folio. In any case, because of the support big business gave to the party, the Liberals recognized early in the campaign that someone of the calibre of Mr. Winters was needed:to offset the disenchantment building up over Gordon policies.

This need became more urgent when such Conservative stalwarts as George Hees, E. A. Goodman, Dalton Camp and Douglas Harkness patched up their differences with Mr. Diefen- ‘baker. With the return of these men, andthe pledging of all-out support for the Tory chief by Premiers Duff Roblin 6f Manitoba, John Robarts of Ontario, Robert Stanfield of Nova Scotia and Walter Shaw of Prince Edward Asland, it became obvious to the Libérals that a key figure was needed to give them appeal.

Thus writes Peter Dempson of the Toronto Telegram, a journalist of Canada-wide repute, who goes on to say that there is now a growing feel- ing in business and industry that Mr. Winters has been double-crossed by the Liberal hierarchy. . Certainly Mr.

In The Same Boat —

The Quebec minister of health, ‘on. Eric Kierans, spoke in Toronto e other day and made a good point hen he emphasized that as Quebec ws stronger economically, the rest f “Canada will benefit too. The roblem facing his province, he said, time. It is trying, he added, to ac-

"9945. The net result of the changes ow taking place will be a greater dian unity not known since Con- in. Mr. Kierans is not quoted as hav- mentioned farm problems par- ly, but undoubtedly he had in mind in speaking of the for a stronger economy. The 1 census revealed that of the -95,- farms in Quebec, 33,805 took in

88,775 had revenues between $1,200 and $4,375. According to a provin- cial white paper on agriculture tab- led early this year, $4,375 -is the threshold of economic viability.

Since 1961 the situation has wor- sened, if anything. Costs have been rising while prices have remained relatively steady. Quebet farmers at a recent congress made it clear that they consider their predicament to be the result of long neglect by provin- cial and federal governments and that they look to both governments to do the major part in getting them out of it.

Quebec will not get {ts economy on the stable basis it desires until this problem is grappled with realis- tically. But by the same token, the

| Same goes for our Maritime economy.

We too have serious problems of un- derdevelopment in farming areas and we, too, will be able to contribute

more to Canada’s wellbeing by get- |

ting this phase of our economy on a more solid basis. , Our industrial potential, also,

should be of importance to the rest |

of Canada. The stronger it grows economically the more the country will benefit. Nor ‘s it true—and here we must part company with Mr. Kierans in his remarks as reported from Toronto—that Quebec is in a peculiar position in this regard, that ‘it is under special difficulties which “other parts of Canada” have sur- mounted in their economic growth. Some of them, but not all. Actually the Maritimes have been struggling against similar disadvantages since Confederation. If there is to be the “greater Canadian unity” the Quebec minister envisages, it will have to take this fact into account as well.

Free-State Services

A report that could have a pro- found impact on the development of welfare services in Britain, and pos- sibly in other welfare states, has just been published. It shows that more than half the adults in Britain would like a choice outside the free-state ser- vices if they could have one. The authors are economists of the In- stitute of Economic Affairs. and the background to their report is the crisis in Britain’s National Health Service, the shortage of schools, uni- versities, and teachers, and the lack of roads.

It is usually accepted’ by lay opin- jon that free and universal welfare services are what people want—and that to introduce an element of pay- ment and choice {is politically impos- sible. This report sets out to shatter this illusion. Shortage’ in “free ser-’ vices”, it maintains,~are almost in- evitable. For with the balancing ele- ment of price removed, demand is al-

| ways likely to exceed supply. Also, as costs rise, a government may have |

to choose between reducing its wel- fare program or raising taxes ‘‘to the point where the voters rebel.”

What is more, as the Soviet Un- ion now is finding out, choice in a developed economy is an essential | element in efficiency. Once money ceases to be merely the passport out of poverty for the individual, it be- comes simply the method by which differing choices are made known.

The new report, ‘‘Choice in Wel- fare, 1965,” indicates that only about one-third of Britains (for health and pensions) favor state universalism,
