Quebec's Position

Speaking before the Quebec Lib- eral Federation over the weekend. Premier Lesage cited concrete evid- ence of his claim that in the last ten months Quebec has made “a great leap forward" in the fields of tax- ation and shared cost. programs. The concessions it has won are indeed unprecedented in any province since Confederation; but Mr. Lesage as- eured his hearers that his govern- ment intends to keep pushing to get a greater share of taxation revenue from Ottawa. “Believe me," he said. "our efforts in this field are far from over.“

Quebec's recent gains were dealt with in Parliament a few days ago by Hon. Maurice Lamontagne, Sec- retary of State, who pointed out that the new federal-provincial arrange- ments will secure the province an ad- ditional $300 million from 1964 to 1967. Furthermore. Quebec has been conceded the famous option formula—the. right to take over a series of most important programs, while receiving at the same time an- other ‘20 per cent of federal income tax as an exclusive and additional right of taxation.

According to Mr. Lamontagne. this decentralization will mean that Quebec, Which. at the beginning of 1962. could collect 13 per cent of per- sonal income tax. while avoiding dou- ble taxation. will in 1966-67 claim 47 per cent. By including the equaliz- ation payments. he said. Quebec's share would exceed 70 per cent.

Quebec’s case is a special one. and there Is a general feeling that, every reasonable latitude should be extended in enabling it to stabilize its position financially and realize its aspirations within the Confederation framework. But there should also be some feeling of concern, we con- tend. with regard to other provinces even less fortunately situated than Quebec. and without the tax col- lection potential that would enable them to profit by "opting out" of federal programs of any kind. Prince Edward Island is such a province, and it is lamentable to note the cynical disregard which Ottawa has been showing toward our claims for fiscal relief. Is it that we’re not making enough noise about them, or what?

France has been steadily pus-hing its hands with Latin America in ma- terial, cultural. scientific and techni- cal fielda.

sources” are quoted by the Asso- ciated Press as emphasizing that he won’t be seeking to weaken US. influence in South America: but Washington may have some doubts on this point.

Certainlv his tour will give the President a good forum to exhibit French independence of the United States. right in Washington’s own sphere of special influence: Just. what Latin-American reaction will be to his visit is debatable at this point, but his bid for a revival of French influence will be watched closely on both sides of the Atlan- tic.

Developing Market

A shipment of 590 Herefords left Calary recently on their way to the Soviet Union. At the same time. a carload of 65 Lacombe hogs left Edmonton for the same countries. The animals will be used to upgrade Soviet livestock, reports the Finan- cial Post. The Herefords and the hogs are from Alberta farms and the Russians are paying $250,000 for the cattle alone.

Three top Holstein dairy cows. picked from top Canadian herds. are also being sent. as a gift from Canada to the Soviet L'nion. Agri- culture Minister Harry Hays hopes they will stimulate large orders for dairy breeding stock. Alberta live- stock officials believe a substantial market for purebred Canadian live- stock is developing in the Soviet. Union.

This report. lends added import- ance to the recent cross-Canada tour of the Soviet commissar of agri- culture and other SOviet farm ex- perts—a tour which. for some rea- son or other. failed to take in eith- er Prince Edward Island or New Brunswick. A couple of days were spent in Nova Scotia. and that was all the visitors were permitted to see of the Maritime Provinces.

Haven't we livestock herds here worth looking at? Surely this mil- lion-acre farm. at least. would have been worth a brief visit. Agriculture Minister Hays. if he was responsible for the itinerary of the Soviet. of- ficialsi should do some explaining.

The Queen's Visit

The controversy over whether the Queen should come to Canada next month is being waged n0w in the British press. but there is no reason to suppose that any change of plans will be considered. The Montreal Star sums up the situation when it says:

"Those who suggest. whether in this country or abroad. that the visit should be cancelled. are asking Mr. Pearson and Mr. Lesage to bow to the tyranny of a minority, but the majority also has rights. and these are entitled to respect. The Queen. regardless of the hopes of the separatists or the enmity of the terrorists, is not a visitor to this country. She is our head of state. She comes here as Queen of Can- ada, not as a foreigner. The con- stitutional authority of every gov- ernment in Canada. including our own provincial government. derives directly from her person, and as long as it. does she has every right to be here. and Canadians have every right to want her here.

“No society can survive which allows itself to be. blackmailed by fear into altering a perfectly proper course of action. Precautions must and have been taken. The lunatic and malcontent are not peculiar to this pr0vince. He or she exists in every community. but that fact does not justify a. single change in the arrangements that have been made.”

EDITORIAL NOTES

The battle to save the whooping cranes continues. Early this month a young member of the almost. ex- tinct bird family was badly injured. It was rescued by a wildlife biolo« gist and flown by helicopter from Alberta’s Wood Buffalo National Park to a national wildlife refuge in Colorado for treatment.

Ciamber. which at times seems 1

more like a schoolroom of unruly tee g rs. A strong Speaker would halt this. and he would smarlen up MP5 by a friendly private word with those whose conduct. inattentivenesa and even dress does not measure up to the dignity of the highest assembly of the land.

There is one particularly un- disciplined group who talk to- gether read newspapers. solve crosswords. chew ghm. sleep and generally pay no at- tention to the proceedings: they look very bad indeed from the galleries. Mr. Speaker Macna- ughton sadly refers to them as "he rat - pack" in private. but

i Emphysema

Hard To Treat

By Dr. 'l'heedure a. Van milieu~

Advanced emphysema of the lungs is difficult to treat. Many victims suffer from ortness of

The ow

spasm, scar tissue, or casts 'whlch form from secre- tiona Several weeks ago we

e about the removal of the latter by washing out the lungs. Today we are going to describe a neck operation that also is helpful in emphysema.

The procedure (cervical glo- mectomyi was done originally to re] ie v e bronchial asthma. Several surgeons have had ex- tensive experience with this neck operation. It entails the re- moval of a nerve center (caro- tid body) that rests in the fork of the carotid artery. where it branches into two vessels: one branch goes to the scalp and the other into the brain. The carotid body is located in the neck. just below the back part of the lower jaw. The procedure is done under a local anesthe- tic; the risk is minimal and complications are few.

Dr. Jdin L. Shek of Saginaw, Mich, performed the operation on 39 men and women with em- physema who were extremely short. of breath. All but six ob- tained relief. Twenty-five had been confined to the house: fol- lowing eurgery. they could walk two blocks without difficulty in breathing and three were able to play golf.

Other reports have. appeared, especially on victims of chronic bronchial asthma. In these cas- es the operation tends to relax tile walls of the bronchi. which lessens wheezing and relieves breathing.

Dr. Hiromi Nakayama had one of the largest series of cas- es. n L961 he reported 81 per cent cured six months after sur- gery. 73 per cent at two years, and 58 per cent were still re- lieved after five years.

tractable bronchial asthma that. has not responded to the usual
