At this point. Hansard quotes Mr. Mcliraith as interrupting with the cor- rection: “Deferment-or rescheduling; read the whole thing out.” He would not, he added, “allow Hansard to be. misfead.”” Whereupon Mr. Macquarrie obligingly read out, from the Hansard report of the finance minister's speech after he had listed the five | projects concerned: “I regret, and am sure everyone in this House regrets, that it is necessary to a Hee

_ Waxing eloquent on this point, the minister proceeded: “As a result of this new timetable we are assured of a significant volume of winter work in ‘the late 1966° and~early 1967; which ‘is exactly the time of the year that the hon. member has, complained about when . giving statistics of winter

But in his concern for our interests, ° is the minister really sure that—he understands what they are? He was equally convinced last. Nov. 2, just | before fhe federal-election; that “be-- cause of the clay soil, work could not ~ be started on the P.E.I. side until the spring.” :

Which still leaves us’ wondering - about what Mr. Macquarrie calls the “semantic exercises’ involved, and what they add up to in terms of min-

No End In Sight —

In January,-1950, when our then External Affairs Minister Lester B. . Pearson sat down with Common- wealth foreign ministers in Ceylon to set in motion our first bilateral aid | program, the Canadian government viewed this hopefully as a ‘‘temporary supplement” to the United Nations | technical assistance programs in

- which it was already involved. By

September, 1960, the Diefenbaker government recognized the temporary was going to be permanent and estab-

co-ordinate the aid effort. - | Later that year, Canada joined with othér members in the United Nations’ | “decade of development” program, | under which members were to make a special effort to raise the level of

“It is a great pity that people seem to know very little, where the African is concerned, of what is being done. And yet we

only 75 years, through educa- tion, medicine and the mainten- ance of law and order, Euro- peans_have: raised —the-..African: population in Rhodesia from 300,000 to 4,000,000.

today in Rhodesia today is due to the European. For example, his education is far better than
