Pay More And Get More

The medical care program pro- posed by the royal commission on health services is breath-taking in its implications. and may stir up as much controversy as the flag issue itself. The benefits would be sweep- ipg in every field of health service. and they would be financed by higher taxes. perhaps even by lots teries in some provinces.

The commission's 914~page re- port is the product of an assignment that began when the former Con- servative government appointed it on June 20, 1961. BeSldes a year of public hearings across Canada. the commission had prepared for it 26 research studies. In addition. the commission members made first hand studies of health systems in the United States. Britain, Frau», Holland, Sweden, Switzerland. Aus-

a

tria. Italy. Russia. Australia and New Zealand. After all this. it produced its

report with the comment: “This is what Canada and the provinces working together should do. It is not an idealist's dream but a prac- tical program within Canada's ability, financially and practically. . . . It is what Canadians ought to strive for and expect through their governments. They should not be content. with less."

As envisaged by the commission, practically no type of health service would be left uncovered. and it is emphasized that Canadians would willingly pay the higher taxes re- quired. This is the lssue on which controversy will hinge. It threatens, as the Toronto Globe and Mail pre- dicts, to “rock the politicians back on their heels—not to speak of the doctors. the dentists. the insurance companies. the drug houses and others."

Opponents of the scheme will doubtless point to a report just is- sued by the Bureau of Statistics, which shows that the spending last year of all Canadian governments

on health and welfare programs-

amounted to not less than $4,000 million, or the equivalent of 12.2 per cent of the national in c o m e. The comparable figures are seven per cent for the United States and eight per cent, for the United King- dom. It will be argued that Canada cannot go much farther than it has gone in this direction.

But the importance of the com- mission report lies in the fact that it Comes from a government-appoint- ed body. It is not a platform dream- ed' up by a left-wing party to gain political support, but a monumental document requiring the most. care— ful study that Parliament and the provinces can give it.

UN Peace Force

«Further trouble in Cyprus has underlined the difficult position of the': United Nations peace force there. the need for more clearly de- fining its activities. and for more gei'l'eral support of its aims on the part of the world organization it- self. Each time world peace is threatened and the UN. steps into the breach. there is a scramble to put together a military peace keep-

. tug force. Each operation is marked

by delay, confusion and criticism. Creation of a. permanent inter- national force has been repeatedly suggested. The western powers. for the most part, favor some such ar- iusamcut: but the Soviet bloc is cppoeod and enough unalign- have been auspicious l ,. _. forcetofore-

MONDAY. ’JUNE 22. 1964. ,

the Milwaukee Journal paye high tribute to Prime Minister Pearson as “one champion in peace keeping who is undismayed.” Canada, it notes, was the first country to re- spond with military units to join British troops to keep feuding Greek and Turkish Cypriots apart. Since then, several Countries have joined Canada in designating military units for service at the L'N’s request.

To date Canada has designated a battalion of 1,000 men. Sweden has introduced legislation calling for establishment of a special unit of 1,600 that Would be immediate- ly available. The Netherlands has offered 300 marines who would be available on 24 hours' notice. Nor- way, Denmark and Finland are plan- ning to set up units that could be called separately or as a task force. And in New York last week the Shah of Iran said his country was prepared to earmark a contingent for peace keeping duty in “any part of the world." It would also provide money and instructors to help train UN units.

Thus the movement is growing. Mr. Pearson himself concedes that conditions are not ripe for setting up a permanent UN force. but he has held consistently to this ob- jective. In the meantime, he has emphasized that stand-by contin- gents should be used only when re- quested by the UN and only for duly authorized peace keeping opera- tions.

Costly Campaigns

One reason why Canadians don't want another federal general elect- ion until it's necessary is because, for supporters of every party, cam- paign costs have mounted to stag- gering proportions. The costs run still higher. of course, in the United States. This year it ls the big con- tributors. the lobbyists. and even higher-salaried gm'el'nment Work- ers, who are Complaining. because the bite is being applied ever more heavily to these sources of funds. They are being asked to subscribe to $50- and $lOO—a-plate dinners—- not only for presidential campaigns but for the individual campaigns of senators and congressmen.

Democratic and Republican spokesmen estimate that the 1960 campaigns, at all levels, cost some- thing like $1751‘000,uoo. This year, the total figure may run over $200,000,000. There seems little promise of practicing economv. Candidates insist on wide television coverage and on zipping all over the country by airplane. One estimate is that it costs $250,000 to put on a respectable senatorial campaign in a big industrial state, and $500,000 to run for governor.

Along with the pressure on big contributors there is an uneasy feel- ing that this system is corrupting to political morals, and putting toe much influence in the hands of the wealthy few. Reforms—new ways of financing campaigns—éhave been proposed from time to time. The late President Kennedy had just about completed plans. before his assas- sination. for a public campaign to expand the ranks of lowly contribut- ors in the 1964 election.

The campaign was to be launch- ed at~ a White House conference at which former President Eisenhower and other top figures in both parties would speak up and dramatize the need for obtaining more small con- tribution. from the rank and file. The conference has never been re- scheduled.

EDITORIAL NOTES

About 200,000 prefabricated homes were built in the United States last year. This was some 20 per cent of all the private single family homes started in 1963; dur- ing 1964 the proportion is expected to reach about 25 per cent. The estimated average cost per house package sold during 1963 was $4,038, down slightly from $4,044 the prev-

ious year.

WHITE HOUSE ROSE GARDEN

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Coouette’s Break-Away Group '

The youngest but not the [ smallest party represented ln . the Canadian Parliament is be f Ralliement des Creditistes. It is so completely French-Cana- dian of Quebec that. even in Lh English-language report and translation of theproceedinus of the House of Commons. its name is written in French.

This group of IR MP5 is often referred to as "the Caouettits", after its leader. Real Caouette, whose name is often prec by the adjective “firebrand” in reference to his persuasive ton- gue and its demands for ponti- cal and economic changes. Car- toonists have made his sharp- featured bespectacled face widely known and his political enemies depict him as a crOss between a financial cbarlatan and a national menac .

e In failing to seek to under-

stand why Real Caouette has influenced so many votes in Quebecin two elections. and

television programs are so popular in Quebec. poll- ticians of other parties are per- forming a grievous dissemce

- to Canadian unity.

The parliamentary whip of the Creditists is Charles Gauth‘ ier, who thus rates third in the party after Real Caouelte and his deputy-leader Gilles Greg- oire. He ls as vocal in the Commons than his two leaders. but he is remarkable for his re- gular attendance when i mentioned this to him. he to Id me that he has not missed single day during this session of Parliament.

As a good member of his community. he has long rved as president of the school board and director of the credit uni’on.

month: his business like second daughter minds the store while father serves in Parliament. which is “Too slow. much talk but. little action" says business- man Gauthier.

He has been a keen follower of Social Credit economic theory for 2.5 years, and is obviously happy to be carrying its mea- aage into Parliament now. But. like all his party. he has an even more urgent message.

WHAT IS OUR STATUS? "Where are we golng? What are we?" be asked in the House recently. “Are we British sub- )ecta In a Canadian country. or Canadians in a British coun- try? That is the question facing many people who have been

Hazardous Breath

Winnipeg Tribune

A year ago French authorities decided to close the famous scaux cave to the public.

The walls of the cave form one of the world's most import- ant museums of prehistoric art.

The murals on the cave walls, discovered in 1940 by four boys In search of a lost. dog. were painted at least 15.000 years

ago. The paintings lasted because

' the cave was perfectly air-con-

ditioned by nature, with a dell- cate balance between tempera- ture and humidity.

Some time after the cave was opened to visitors a myst- l

ous green began to spread over the walls and the paintings.

In 1963 the cave was closed to give scientists a chance to Ill- vestigate the growth that three- tened to obliterate the ancient works of art.

Researchers have now come to the conclusion that carbon

dioxide exhaled by visitors had upset the delicate balance in the cave's atmosphere and caused the growth of the mould.

The cave will probably not be reopened to the public again.

There is talk of building an- other cave complete with cop- ies of the prehistoric murals as a kind of second-best for the tourist industry.

After all. the cave had be come the rim - most popular tourist centre in France.

Scientists have arrested the spread of the mould. but it is expected that in future only scholars dressed in sterile clo~ thing and presumably using some kind of Scuba equipment, will be allowed into the grotto.

Among the hundreds of young Greek Cypriots who signed on was one who eclar . in the accepted death-or-glory fashion: "The needs of the motherland are greater than our personal needs."

The words have an unreal.

conscripts were driven to train- ing camps they sang patriotic songs and were cheered and ap- plauded by Greek Cypriot; in the streets.

EVerythlng about the situation would convince them that they were taking part in a glorious enterprise: nothing would sug- gesl that they were being used as pawns in the ugliest of game .

The decision to conscrlpt young Greek Cypriots is a step which can hardly fall to bring about serious deteriorations of the Cyprus situation. It is a gas- ture of contempt toward the United Nations and toward the 7.000-man force it has hit to
