The irony of celebrating such a black day in English history should have lessons for us in Canada, where there has developed such a sensitivity to even mentioning the deeds of that man Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham.

Feed Grain Dispute’

Behind the goings on

these days, a big issue is said to be looming over feed grains which could “determine the future-course of the

this attempt~ has produced inequal-

Eastern farmers complain that while. eastern feed prices are _set by the Canadian at Board— which has a sta responsibility

to get the best price possible for prairie growers—western feed users

fed this problem at the last session, and came up with a report recom- mending that an agency be establish-

and new storage assistance policies; also to buy, store, transport and sell grain for eastern and west coast feed- ers and ensure that adequate hand- ling and storage facilities are avail-

| able to all times.

The recommendations sound in- nocuous enough, butethey have been .. assailed by western spokesmen for ignoring hard realities of Canadian farm economics. It is claimed that if shipments of eastern feed grain are

| to continue to be subsidized, ship- nen of western livestock should be

subsijized too. Either that, or the freight subsidy on feed grains should be dropped, in which case eastern producers would raise only as many animals as they could economically feed.

The question is now under study by the Agricultural Research Coun- cil, a body sponsored by the federal and provincial governments, the Can- adian Federation of Agriculture. and private agricultural concerns. It is expected the committee’s report will be ready by the end of the year. Something of the wisdom of Solomon will be required to make it acceptable to the contending parties.

Mr: Garceau’s Proposal

‘One official Liberal candidate in this election is taking the “two-na- tion concept” literally. He is Pierre Garceau, a 32-year-old lawyer who is running in Trois-Rivieres, the con- stituency formerly held by Leon Bal- cer for the Conservatives. Mr. Gar- ceau in a press interview said he wants to see “a thorotigh study into the possibility of granting associate state status to Quebec.”

' The country, he says, should take a serious look at the idea of setting . up two semi-autonomous states, one French and the other English, with a central Parliament charged with handling matters of common inter- est. Emphasizing that he was speak- ing “personally” and not for the Liberal ‘Party, Mr. Garceau said he was only echoing sentiments already expressed by such people as Mon- treal Mayor Jean Drapeau, Quebec government ministers Pierre Laporte and Rene Levesque, and “indirectly” by Premier Jean Lesage. ‘

During the interview the Liberal candidate laid great stress on the need to give Prime Minister Pearson a working majority in the Commons, “because only the Liberal Party is making a serious study of the re- quirements of French Canada.” Of course that doesn’t mean that the Liberal Party would indorse Mr. Garceau’s views on this matter; but it does raise the question of how far an official party candidate is entitled to go in appealing for votes on the sub- ject. (°° : ~~Striking Demonstration

Just how important are newspap- ers to a.community? That’s an old

| question, and of course there’s no

way of answering it in mathematical ‘terms. But in the case of a big newspaper like the New York Times an impressive demonstration was af- forded recently during the 25-day strike against the paper by the New York Newspaper Guild. _ .°

Theatre attendance in New York dropped markedly) it is reported. Openings of new plays had to be postponed because _ theatre-goers wanted to read The Times review be- fore deciding to invest in tickets. Flor- ists almost went bankrupt because of a lack of published death notices. Blind men who operate newsstands were applying for unemployment re- lief.

The consequence was that after settlement of the strike on Oct. 10, the following Sunday’s edition of The Times was the largest in the paper’s 114-year history. It had 966 pages, weighed seven pounds, 14 ounces and had 1,200,000 lines of advertise- ment. The 5,967 tons of newsprint and 190 tons of ink used in publish-

20 cents a copy more then it sold for locally.

That’s “service” for you, too, isn’t it?

EDITORIAL NOTE

hope this is the last marathon elec- tion campaign ever to afflict the Canadian glectorate. As soon as re- distribution is completed, the new Parliament should set about -requir- ing that permanent electoral lists be maintained, as they are in Australia and Britain. This will mean that the length of campaigns can be sharply cut down. Even in a huge, sprawling country ‘such as Canada, five weeks is plenty of time for the election job.

One of my patients had fever and was mildly confused for more than eight weeks before She began to improve.’ She com- plai! of headaches and hesi- tated before uttering each word. Her neck was stiff and the room was dimmed because light hurt her eyes. Diagnosis was made by reinfecting mice with spinal fluid taken from the victim.

Its im- pressive. size and admirable thoroughness far exceed those of any other political party in Canada; its substantial finances are drawn from big business, from $100 per plate bahquets and from individual $2 member- chips, and these far exceed those ever available to any oth- er party — except possibly the Conservative Party in the 1058 campaign.
