Let's Keep If This We f

It is reassuring to note, fro“. Premier Shaw. that our industrial development is going on satisfactor- ily and there will be no need for the Government to seek a fresh mandate on the subject at this time. There

of an election this year.” and we in- fer from the tenor of the Premier’s statement that there is no likely- hood of having one on any issue. We trust that this is the case. for we can't imagine why the mandate in the 1962 election shouldn't hold good for at least another two years.

The point was raised by Opposi- tion Leader Matheson, who clearly doesn’t share the Premier’s complac- cency about the industrial develop- ment program. and who linked the possibility of a 1964 election with in- formation brought out by th e Liberals at the last legislative ses- sion which affected this program.

Premier Shaw professes to be un- aware that the Liberals brought out “any information that could have af- fected our program or disturbed the political serenity of our party.” Ser- enity, perhaps, isn’t the quality most desirable in a party in power at any time. but if it serves the purpose of preventing an unnecessary splurge in the way of an election campaign in the middle of our centennial cele- brations it will be welcomed.

Mr. Matheson. of course. didn't suggest that an election at this time was necessary or desirable; he simply warned that it might be in the offing. for a reason which the Premier now assures us is non-exist- out.

The dialogue. on both sides. has been carried on with proper cour- tesy and decorum. in contrast to the wrangling and name-calling that has been going on at Ottawa of late. The electors will appreciate this, too, along with the prospect of being spared having to participate in an untimely political battle.

Should Be Encouraged

Soviet scientists are planning a trip to the US capital in mid-July, to talk about ways of converting salt water into fresh. The signifi- cance of this news lies in the fact that they expect to learn something when they get there. It‘s not just a routine visit, or a courtesy call. When the Kremlin asks Washington if it wouldn’t like to talk over some- thing it is because the Soviets ex- pect to get more than they give.

What could that be? Awarding to the Christian Science Monitor, the United States has had startling success in this line of experiment- ation. It has developed at least five different processing methods, and plants in operation across th e country. It has actually brought down the cost of conversion of sea water to fresh water from $4 to $5 per 1,000 gallons to about $1 to $1.25.

The Soviets, of course can learn how this is done just by asking for or buying from the government Printing office the extensive reports on saline-water conversion for free. But there are a lot of detailed ob- scure questions shaft the processes that still need explanation.

It was probably. however. the White House April announcement a breakthrough was possible in ii of nuclear power. for m de-

ing on sea-water conversion through nuclur power for some time. But in asking for a conference Moscow indicates it feels it could learn a lot on the subject. It may have somathing to contribute to the Washington meeting. but it expects to acquire more than it hands out.

Well, what of it? Provided there are no military secrets involved. shouldn’t every nation get all the

undertakings of this kind? If we are to build a peaceful world it will have to be by generous cooperation—not by stockpiling more bombs or de- veloping new and more frightening weapons of destruction.

Great Expectations

Some idea of the possibilities in- volved in the Montreal 1967 World Fair was given the other day by R. F. Shaw, deputy commissioner of the corporation which is planning the big event. More than 28 foreign countries, all 10 provinces and the federal government, and 30 private have already reserved

of participating. Surveys indicate. he said. that about 10,000,000 people will attend an average of three times

‘ each. About 50 per cent will be Can-

'has been “absolutely no discussion : adians. 38 per cent Americans and

seven per cent from other countries.

Mr Shaw emphasized that the fair will be a force for better under- standing within Canada. and also

will be good for business by increas- . ing transactions through advertising ‘

and public relations. He estimated a $400,000,000 increase in tourist spending, $20,00,000 expenditure on the part of foreign exhibitors in Canada and a general increase in foreign trade and business develop- ment which will undoubtedly produce a rich return on the $47,000,000 in- vested by the three governments. Of this amount Ottawa has agreed

to underwrite 50 per cent while the

province of Quebec and the city of Montreal will look after the rest. As the commissioner says, Can- ada’s reputation is at stake in the success or failure of this gargantuan venture. Nothing like it has ever been attempted in this country be-

fore. Falling during Confederation ‘

centennial year, it is hoped that it will serve, among other things. as a reminder to all Canadians of the strength that lies in unity of mind and purpose.

Beni On Destruction

The new threat raised by Tur- key to seek a Cyprus settlement by force of arms puts the onus on, the United Nations of taking a firmer stand in the troubled affairs of this Mediterranean island. A Turkish in- vasion would undoubtedly bring war with Greece, too. And such an out- come would be tragic. Neither side can afford war; both are allied in the North Atlantic Treaty Organ- ization and their fight would weak- en that treaty. Nor would it settle the Cyprus crisis on any stable basis.

President Johnson recently in- itiated separate talks with Prime Minister Inonu of Turkey and Prime Minister Papandrequ of Greece, aim- ed chiefly at trying to get the two to sit down and reason together. But that result result was ruled out. A representative of Inonu said after the latter had visited ‘the United States that a Turkish-Greek meet- ing was not in the cards. The Greeks at the same time let it be known that they consider Cyprus an independent nation and so not a proper subject for Greek-Turkish talks.

Now the crisis is worsening to the point of disaster. It is said that outsiders cannot dictate a settlement or a solution; it mus-t come by mutual consent. But surely, where consent is lacking. pressure by the world powers is justified in prevent- ing what could be a frightful mas- sacre of both Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

EDITORIAL NOTES

In July some 500,000 Americans will get letters signed jointly by former Presidents Truman and Eisenhower urging them to contrib- ute to the political parties of their choice or to both major political parties. If the sample mailing proves successful, up to 45 million letters will be sent out during September and October. The drive‘wlll be ex-

"WHAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR JOHN A.-”

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson

What Would A 1964 Election Prove?

Will there be an election in 1964 — mak i n g our fifth in eight years?

The current debasing of our national legislative assem- bly into an electioneerin g arena suggests that an early election. say in October, is ex- pected and desired.

But other factors suggesl that present House of Minorit- ies should be kept alive. with less drastic cures attempted for its instability and irritabil-

y.

What would a 1964 election ‘

prove? 'l‘hinkin g voters have nowhere to go. The administra- tion of Mr. D. collapsed like a house of cards, and the same old jokers cannot learn new tricks, say some disheartened Tories. The Pearsoon promise has equally melted aw a y after 400 days of indecision, to the disappointment of Grits. So where could the thinking voter mark his X to obtain a stable

and competent government? The powerful backstage in- fluences within both old part- ies are now seriously examin- ing this impasse. The general agreement in each camp is that both Mike and Diet must go before Parliament Hill can gain become a' reasonable forum for conducting the na- tion's business. with confid- ence restored inside and out- side Canada.

MJECI‘ION INDEGlSIVE?

But at the same time these influential groups frankly admit that yet another costly and disturbing election this

year would not be likely to pro- ‘

duce a majority government.

The Liberals would suffer heavy losses in Ontario: in rural districts through the plan to scrap the Ensign: in urban districts through disgust with repeated yieldings to French- Canadian demands. such as the pension plan changes.

THOSE LIQUOR LAWS Sir. ~ It is ironic that year we are celebr atin g in Chanloitetoun the meeting of

the Fathers of Confederation. .

which led up to. the Domin 1 o n of Canada. in this very year we have seen the Government amend the Liquor Control Act and pass regulations. and have the Liquor Commission. com- posed of peoplc it appointed. dc- cree that the people sufficiently wealthy to join very expen- sive clubs may consmne alscohol beverages on the premises of those clubs. while the majority of the people must only drink while hidden in their homes.

. ‘ oormnerrmtiv year has seen a' Court of this Pro- vince rule that prior it was illeg a l for liquor to be sold by anyone but a licens ed vendor. but the Commission dc- fied the Courts by Whig to provide liquor for be - sale by clubs. and issued more invalid permits. ‘ While we sit. and do nothing, the Conunission can make whatever decrees it wishes and. by the law pa the Government, does not have to give any reasons for their actions. no matter how oppres< sive or ridiculous they may be.

This year has seen the aboli- tion of the right of appeal to the Courts from such decisions of the Commlsa on Where Judge C. St. Clair Trainer could formerly overrule this Commis- sion. we are now ruled instead b these ‘

T. S. writes: A man has been taking treatment for cirrhosis of the liver for the last year. He is now off medication. Will tak- ing three shots of whisky every night harm him?

REPL

Yes. Alcohol must be avoided in cirrhosis of the liver. Now and then a person who has been treated for early cirrho- sis can return to moderate drinking after going on the wagon for six weeks. provide d tests show the liver is normal.
