Making A Fresh Start

In 1‘t3\‘lt.‘\\'lll}_" the principles gm‘- erning the agl'icllltural rehabil- itation and development program

(ARDA) in Parliament in I961, the then minister of a_grlcllltllre, Hon. Alvin Hunlilton, cmphasi/.ed among other fllillgs the ll¢‘(‘(i for obtaining the fllll (‘.0-l‘>}1Pl‘?lllﬂl1 Of farm 01'- ganimtious lllrr-llgliollt the country. Also, he :<‘.l'-~.::-zvd that expert plan- ning on all ‘:c\'els was needed. since the program was to be "long-run rather than short—run", and many of the }'ll‘('llllOY'n.~‘- to he encountered were structllrnl rather than either cyclical or t.ransilory.

This would seem. in retrospect, to have been a sound warning against brash attempts at forcing the pace foy the p|n“nn_<p of capitalizing Oh federal grants, without laying the- solid found-.1tion. under expert direc- tion. which the n:lt.ure of the pro-

jects required. Fztilllre to heed this warning h.-1: 1-t-sitltod in holdups at Ottawa of prm'ill(‘i;ll pl'O_lP(‘fS Sill’)- mitted for con.<id(=l‘:-ltion. It may be argued that the federal authorities have been over-critical in this re- gard. But the point is that Ottawa holds the pur.=e-strings, and lays down the tcrms.

Difficulties of this kind have been experienced in connection with our Island projects under ARDA; and we now have assurance from Premier Shaw that major strides have been taken to revamp the pro- vincial setup. notably by the tem- porary appointment of Mr. Reid Sangstcr as director of rescarch—- a man of proveu ability and experi- ence—and by rcolzganizing the cum- bersome rlcvelopmcnt. council, which will now consist of smaller councils to be set up in each county. In this way, Premier Shaw states. more comprehensive knowledge of devel- opments in the field will be obtained, as well as closer contact with the various federal departments asso- ciated with the pl‘ogl'am.

It is to he hoped, too, that there will be closer co-opc=ration with our

farm organizations as represented by the Federation of Agriculture, which has taken a leading part in ARDA activities elsewhere and in- deed has been the sparkplug of the whole scheme on a national basis. It was a grave mistake to have ignored this organization here in planning the ARDA groundwork, as was re- vealed in the brief presented by the Federation in our Legislature last; March.

The Federation complained in its brief that its proposals for ap- pointing a commission staffed by competent experts had been brushed aside with out due consideration, and that of the 16 projects report.- edly submitted to Ottawa by the province at that time, few if any related to agrictllturc.

Now that a. new and more pro- pitious start. is being made, it should be with the enthusiastic participa- tion of all who are competent to give support and advice in the Ill8l7t€'r.

Bitterness Reiecled Some future historian will sure- ly have occasion to note, among the salutary events of these troubled times, the co-operative spirit shown by the British government and people in the final stages of the liquidation of the once-great British ﬁwpiro in Africa. Other empires have passed away, . _lng bitterness and animosity In 7 wake. Britain has been letting fin!’ her vast territories gracefully, "accordance with what former .. Minister Harold Macmillan

called “the winds of change" in 3 l

memorable speech in Capetown in February, 1960. That speech was hailed by leaders of emerging Afri- can states as evidence that the British government leader was “a man who faced the truth.”

There was more facing of the truth in the British House of (‘om- mons last week when an order In council was laid before Parliament providing detailed arrangements for dissolving the Federation of Rhod- esia and Nyasaland. At the very same time the Queen’s husband. Prince Philip, was acting as top British representative at Kenya’s independence celebrations, after at- tending similar independcnce cere- monies for Zanzibar earlier in the week.

Sir Winston Churchill, who once pledged that he would never pre- side over the liquidation of the British Empire, was present in the Commons when the above-noted in- cident took place. He had just ccle- brated his 89th birthday. and does not make a practice of speaking in the House these days. With the help of his wheel-chair he likes to take his seat in the Commons and listen and absorb the atmosphere in which he achieved his greatest triumph. But there was no question of his staying away in protest of the decis- ive final phases in the winding up of Britain's African empire.

Special note is taken of this in- cident by a London correspondent for the Christian Science llonitor, who says Sir Winston's presence was taken as evidence that he also has rejected grief and bitterness over the disbanding of the historic British concept of a multiracial so- ciety in central Africa.

British newspapers in their edit- orial comment, for the most part, showed an eagerness to look for- ward hopefully rather than back- ward With bitterness. The prevail-. ing view, indeed, is one of renewed confidence in the future.

Fluoridation ln N.Y.

It appears now that the millions of residents of New York (‘it y will definitely have fluoridated water. probably by next September. In an overwhelming 19—t.o-4 decision, the city council voted to amend the bud- get to provide the $565,000 needed to inject the», fluoride at nine reser- voirs and pumping stations. Total cost for the first year of operating, including $600,000 for chemicals, will be $1,363,000.

(‘redit for pushing through this controversial measure is being given to Mayor Robert Wagner, who long has been a champion of fluoridation. But opponents of the scheme are still hoping to arouse dormant op- position among the city's ratepay- ers. One of the most positive means at their disposal would be the forc- ing of a referendum, to be held next December. This would be accom- plished by seeking a minimum of 50,000 signatures to petition to amend the city charter by prohibit- ing the use in city water of any chemical or drug other than ones used to make it pure and potable. Such measures have been forced in this way in several other states, in- cluding Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire.

Meanwhile, however, the New York city council vote stands and fluoridation planning will soon be under way. Proponents of the move. including the city and state depart- ments of health and the United States Public Health Service, con- tend that fluoridation of the city

water will reduce cavities in child- ren by 60 per cent, and deny that

there is any medical evidence of-

harm to the remainder of the popu- lation.

High Level Debate-On Party Lines

Tho first snow of winter cov-1 cred Parliament Hill with a thin; blanket of white. A strong west. wind whipped the Red Ensign on the flag staff topping the Peace Tower. In the Red Chamber, lit- tle more than half filled wi I n Senators, the Honourable the Speaker had read praycrs. and Senator Norntan Lambert had reported two bills back from that Banking and Commerce Com-

mittee.

Then‘ Senator William Taylor moved the third reading of Bill C-95. to amend tllc Income Tax Act. Third reading is usually a perfunctory vote of approval. af ter a bill has been debated in depth on second reading, and tooth-combed as to detail in com- millce.

But on this occasion, the mere handful of spectators llad slum- hled little knowing into an hls- toric session. When Mr. Speaker asked: “Honourable Senators. 1: it your pleasure to adopt the mo- tion?", there was a rustle on the front Opposition bench, in sena-

tor arose and declared: “Hon- ourable Senators. in amendmnnt I move that Bill C-95 be not now read a third time..."

The Hon. I\l. Wallace McCul- chcon, the senator from Germ- ley, Ontario, is by seniority quite low on the Senate totem pole.

"London and Hollywood pro- ducers have known for ome time that to give a production a Welsh flavor you write in a cou- ple of characters called Johnny the Milk and Llewellyn th e Coal," said I-Iuw Ballard Thom- as in a BBC “Woman's Hour" program from Wales. But a Welsh writer like Dylan Thomas had not invented characters like Organ Morgan. he had slmply -put a poetic gloss on a conven- tion that was part of his heri- tagc.

In his native Walcs, said Thomas, many nicknames were due to the matrlarchal aspect of society which made it simple to mark a man by giving him his mother's name in addition to his own— Johnny Charlotte a n d Daniel Betsy were two exampl- es he remembered. other nick- names lndicated the geographi- cal roots of the family — Ilk 0 John Llangydneryn; and some were even more precise, Indicat- ing the exact spot in a village where a family llved—-for In- stance Mrs. Thomas Ty- To p Mrs. Thomas top-house) or Daflsy Nant (Davies from down by the brook).

Freeze-Dried Food Popular

By Dr. Theodore R. Vunbellen

The American food Industries are constantly developlnl new processes and products. A 16- ou n c e steak comes out of a freeze - drying chamber welsh- lng only 4 ounces. It is dehydra- ted and has the advantage of being light In weight for 3 h I p- ment. A: one authority said, ‘‘Why Ihlp water from Chicago to Lo: Angeles?"

The steak is slightly pale In color and there is very little change In its size or shape. It can be kept for years without refrigeration, prov I ded It la packed properly. And the juice return! when water is added just before cooking. How does It get this way? Freeze - dry I u g is a process In which moisture Is removed under vacuum while the meat l|,ln a frozen 3 tn t e . Under the circumstances the llquld Ie ave: the tissues as vapor and not water.

Courting Red China

By Alan Bu-voy

A sudden coalneu between France and Communist China is Itlrrlng some fascinating spec-

ulation about changing big- power relationships. One bold theory that

is French President Charles de Gaulle. ln cultivating the Chl- uese. has his eyes fixed on lead- ership of the Afro-Asian world.

In this view, de Gaulle la seen to be groping for new areas of Influence In his efforts to act as arbiter between the superpowers, the Unlted States and the Soviet Union.

With his bid for European hegemony at least. temporarily checked by the Internationalist outlook of West Germany’: Lud- wlg Erhard. the French presi- dent switches hls gaze to distant v .

"He is looking for nothing less than the leadership of these two continents." this reporter was assured by unofflclal French sources during a recent Paris visit.

CHOU VISIT SITED

One apparent sign of closer understanding between France and China seems to be the visit next week to rmer French territory in Algeria. Morocco, Mali and Guinea of Chinese Premier Chou En-lal.

Once, the French would have regarded such a tour with some

apprehension. Now thq’ don’t seem at all worried. In fact. they apparently feel that China may help them malntaln I posi- tion of Inﬂuence ‘there and in

Afro-Asian gamblt, the are certainly signs of galllc eagerness to get behind the bamboo curtain. One of the most notable is the visit paid to China by former pre- mier Edgar Faure, who went with de Gaulle's blessing and presented him with a long re- port on return.

Speculation from Paris lux- gests that Faure--not himself a Gaulllst but reasonably tympa- thetlc to de Gaulle—wholeheart- edly recommends French diplo- matlc recognition of China.

Another pointer to Franco- Chlnese friendliness was the business mission to Chlna led by Guillaume Georges-Plcol. head of the powerful Suez Com- pany of France and long Frencn ambassador to the United Na-

fions.

The Chlnese appear just as eager to get along with da Gaulle as he does with them. In a recent criticism of the French Communist party, the Chinese paid tribute to de Gaulle as the one man capable of standing up to the United

tates.

The OAS Tackles Cclstroism

Christian science Monitor

By a count of 16 to 0, with only Mexico abstaining for anti- coldwar reasons, the council of the Organization of American States has voted to investigate charges by Venezuela of gun- running on the part of Castro

uba.

This Investigation could be the prelude to sanctions under the OAS Rio Treaty but its most Important effects are likely to be in the information it develops for thoughtful people In Latin American countries menaced by Castroist influence such as the terrorism that sought to prevent Venezuela's presidential elec-

tlon.

President Betaucourt .of that country has suggested an air and naval blockade against

arms exports from Cuba. Even this may be a bit extreme un- der pmsent circumstances. But If findings of the Investigative commission should persuade a few more Latin countries -break diplomatic relations with Havana, this could be significant and helpful.

Khrushchev’s Form Problems

New York Hernld Tribune

Soviet setbacks In agriculture have been so severe that Chair- man Khrushchev has had to fall back again on the sins of Stalin for an apology and an explanation. The Soviet people, now accustomed to this c o n - venlent alibi, undoubtedly will be more Interested in Mr. Khrushchev’s promise of plenty In the future than In his attemp- ted explanation of hunger in the past.

The promise. presented at yesterday's meeting of C o m- munisf party bigwigs in the Kremlin, is based on a $46 bil- llon expansion of Russia‘: che- mlc industry to multiply the harvests. But the expansion pro- gram (and therefore fulfillment of the promise) is based on in- dustrial equlpmcnt and com- merical credits from the capit- alist world — which means Western Europe. the United States and Japan.

Mr Khrushchev has set two conditions for Ills buying 0 f f or to prospective capitalist sup- pliers and creditors: the profit margin must be "honest" not “Iabulous" — and the tram- nctlon must be free of polltlc al attachment.

Charlottetown to:

There should be no problem about the first. The Ruasiws have always enjoyed the bene- fit of the lowast possible price as a result of Western supplier: bidding against each other in order to secure a Soviet pur- chase.
