Loss Of A Landmark

It is a rare thing to have the demolition of any major landmark ploCeed \vithonl gi ng rise to out- cries of regret alid indignation. Ap- parently. though. no such mournful protests are to attend the departure of the old I-lillsbol'oligh Bridge, which is at last in the proceu of being re- moved.

lt has long been condemned, in- deed, as an eyesore which marred its setting.

Yet the old bridge lingers in a strong web of important. vivid mem- ories—has A lot of history tied up in it and has played its part in a lot of history.

In its \\'a, . it helped start the prov- ince in the direction of the moderne ity it has since achieved, when it was floated here almost 65 years ago from the site it vacated over the Mirimichi River in New Brunswick.

Through many years it provided the main railway link with the south- ern part of Kings County It made possible many of the province’s ma- jor advances into the age of the auto- mobile. It became scarred by age and limited in usefulness, and saw many changes in the use made of it, but still it served.

It was the scene, too, of that mem-

orable moment of drama, when the then Premier ANT. Mathesdn, led the charge against the barricades put up by the department of transport in a premature effort to retire the bridge from use—to retire it before any steps had been taken to replane it.

Of course it has been magnifi- centy superseded now by the new Hillsborough bridge.

In larger senses. however. Charlot- tetown and the Island took some 60 years in travelling over the bridge. from the pastoral simplicities of their early (la s toward the future they are achieving. So it certainly deserves to be remembered even though it pro- bably won't be missed.

Staggering Defense Load

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce notes, with concern, that American development resources are being in- creasingly directed into defense and space projects, instead of efforts which could make new products for industry and civilian life

The Chamber has put its finger on one of the gravest problems of the l century. and not just in the US. The shape it takes in (‘anada is sug- gested by the revelation this week that the three armed seivices are rec- ommending the expenditure of some 8,500,000,000 on new equipment in the next six yearS. in addition to "regular" defense costs.

As for the US. situation, the Chamber points out that the Ameri- can defense budget now runs to $47 billion a year—almost half the total federal budget. It follows that the question whether or not there is to be any end to defense increases is worth asking everywhere, because globnl progress a n d development would slirely run in different chan- nels—anore libraries. more colleges. more sanitation. improved agricul- ture, more industrial development, more breakthroughs in th e war against disease and poverty—if it were not for cold war tensions and national snimoslties.

The United State ,,as free world leader, cannot Jeopardize its defense in the name of economy. But Defense Secretory Robert McNamara does mfees in see. in the intermediate distance, I time when military spend- ing unis-vellum This can be mn- flid; he believes by concentrating

milling the swift ‘ pos- sibilities of this jet age. and by hold- ing the decision authority for new systems and strategies at top levels. where all the services must rein their ambitions into a common plan.

Already he has let it be known that many squadrons of 3-14 med- ium bombers will be retired. and the armed forces may be reduced by some 60,000 men. The navy is likely to be allowed to build fewer carriers.

If. of course, the tat-ban ne- gotations in Moscow were to succeed, more defense savings could be plan. ned, not only at Washington but by all the NATO powers.

A National Mailer

It is now quite evident that the United States government is not only serious but also enthusiastic about undertaking the project of harness- ing the tides of Passamaquoddy Bay to furnish one million killowatta of steady power one hour each day.

President Kennedy has assigned his secretary of the interior. Mr. Stewart Udall, to go to Ottawa with the object of securing the approval of the Canadian Government.

But worthy as the purpose of the project may be. there is at least one snag which Mr. Udall may run into when he attempts to sell Ottawa on the project.

The L‘nited States government wishes to undertake the project alone. In order to do so, it is willing to build and install American locks and filling gates on the Canadian side of the big bay across which runs part of the international boundary 1) e t w e e n Maine and New Brunswick.

According to press reports, Pro- mier Robichaud of New Brunswick. is greatly in favor of the project as proposed by the United States. But Mr. Robichaud is a provincial premier, not a national prime minister. and his views are not necessarily those of Mr. Pearson who has to think nation- ally instead of provincially.

And it could well be that Canadian government leaders are now recalling those years when Canada was trying to persuade the United States to co- operate in building the St. Lawrence Seaway and when the Canadian gov- ernment was rebuffed in all its ef- forts because certain American rall- way interests considered such a sea,- way might cut into their profits.

The two cases are not parallel. but they have one thing in common—- national prestige, For it will be re. membered that the United States finally agreed to share in the sea- way when it became convinced that Canada was prepared, if need be. to build it alone.

It would be unwise to predict what the Canadian government’s an- swer will eventually be to the present

prestige, she has every right to do so.

De Gaulle Move Awaited

While President Kennedy’s popularity is said to be slipping at home, it has been enhanced abroad by his recent European tour. par- ticularly by the four days he spent in the Bonn republic and in Berlin. The President. himself. professes no doubt about the value of this visit —for himself, for allied unity, and for closer Atlantic community ties. It will take some time. however. to make a true

It is through West Germany that the President hopes to salvage the Western alliance and offset General de Gaulle’a vision of a looser alliance between the “Anglo—Saxons" (the. U.S. and Britain) and “Eur- ope” (the continent. led by France.) His eloquence—in pu blic speeches and private meetings—appeared to have left. the German leaders with a greater awareness that the alliance could founder if its members follow different aims. But is that enough?

Though the Germans want to press General de Gaulls harder on various schemes for pulling the al- liance together again, they are in- hibited by fear of being in a position where they would have to choose between France and the United States.

As for Ghoul do Gnulle. he clearly has no intention of retreat- ing. and is more likely to launch a counter-offensive. An indication of his tactics may come at a news conference he has called for July 30.
