“} consequences, as Mr. Kosygin said; FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1966.
Pertirient Questions — Perhaps, as.a result of questions placed on the House of Commons or- der paper by Mr. Macquarrie. we shall get more light on those. federal- provincial conferences which seem to be meeting, for one thing or another, almost every week now—and usually ‘ behind closed doors. Mr. Macquarrie has expressed concern’ in the past - that Parliament is being by-passed to some degree by these secret pow- ~ wows: He is“ seeking information-as— to how many have been held since June 15, 1963, shortly after the Pear-
son government took office; which.
_. have been held at the’ ministerial ‘level and which at the official level; _and which conferences were open to press and public. Doubtless when he gets these answers, he will — his questioning further. '
Co-operation among the. govern-
ments is an excellent thing; and it is conceivable that these conferences could be serving a useful purpose in ‘this regard. But apart from the un- necessary secrecy which keeps the public, and even Parliament, in ignor- ance of what, transpires, there are - other disturbing factors involved.
The Montreal Gazette cites three - of these as having a weakening effect on the conferences. First, the fact that the governments have been in a - process of continuous competition, rather than of continuous co-opera- tion. Secondly, there has been a tend-— ency to. use such conferences as lauh¢hing pads for new programs, on which there has been no discussion or ‘investigation be fore the announce- ment was made. And thirdly, because ..Ottawa_and the provinces have not yet reached. a division of their rev- enue sources in relation to their spending responsibilities. Probably there can be no fundamental improve-
- ment until the sources of revenue are more closely related to the areas of expenditures.
On the provinces have fallen the major problems of economic and so- cial development—such problems as edtication, welfare, provision ef most social capital, exploitation of natural resources and tirban development. The shift of revenue toward the pro- *vincial and municipal governments has not been sufficient. But even if improved relations b etween rev- enues and expenditures were worked out, care would have to be taken not to undermine the federal author- ity. Particularly for the weaker. prov- inces, a strong federal government is of cardinal importance.
That, as we see it, is why Parlia- ment is legitimately concerned about the horse-trading deals that go on at these closed conferences, and why the public should be concerned too.
~-Where-they-deal_with_ constitutional issues particularly, they should be -open to the closest public scrutiny.

Limited wars between national movements ‘and old ‘“‘imper- ialist” regimes—that ig one thing and still admirable in the Soviet view; wars between states, particularly in- . dependent states liberated from the "yoke of colonialism, are another mat- ter. Such wars are too explosive and wasteful for the Soviets to encourage. Premier Kosygin emerged from the Tashkent conference as a master~ technician of compromise, a point both sides later acknowledged.

but one result has occurred as the Soviets hoped it would. In a broad sense, the Kremlin does have a na- tional interest in preventing the spread of war because these days it is never clear that any war can be fought in isolation. | ’ Furthermore, the basic aim of Soviet foreign policy is not to spread Communism throughout the world but to establish itself as a reasonable power worthy of respect and, hope- fully, of imitation by emerging na- tions who do not wish to espouse Communism as such.

The main working paper for the talks was ‘‘Pilot training pro- jects for development areas.” This outlined the already fami-

TWENTY - FIVE YEARS AGO (January 21, 1941)
John C. Cudahy, former Unit- ed States Ambassador to Bel- gua, expressed the opinion that
any would find it impos- sible to invade Britain and that the war would be brought to a ‘military decision the end of the following summer.
Greek. observers in the border ‘ town .of Strugo reported that
that are being posed as the usual “negotiating points” thrown out to feel out federal reaction. If that be the case, it could mean the beginning of another wearisome round of bar- gaining between the big provinces ‘ and the federal government. Spokes- men forthe smaller provinces will be , at the bargaining table too, of course: but what chance will they have :of throwing their weight around?
