Iran:-I Auumnud II Fact: 4 SATURDAY.-'APIlIL-27.-TIBS7 Our Fiscal Needs With the federal election cam- paign now in progiess, it is to be hoped that no time will be lost in clarifying the position of this Pro."- inee with respect in our fiscal claims on Ottawa. While we have succeeded in arraiiging for refund over the next five years of our oi'ei'payments under the old lax agreement, and of stabilizing our ;:,i-ants under the new agreement at the amount of the pay- ments received last year, we are still obliged tn flllHlll'P on a big deficit basis, with little pi-ospeet of improv- ing our standards of public services in keeping with the onward march of other pi-mini-es. We are com- mitted to i)fll'llClp.'villt)n in the na- tional health insiiiaiice scheme. and we received warm Tommendation from Health Minister Martin in his address in Summerside on Thursday on this account. But how we are to finance our share of this expenditure, under existing conditions, is not at all clear to our taxpayers. Nor is it clear how we are to meet the in- creases recommended by the Educa- tion. Committee which our Legis- lature adopted, but for which there seems to be no provision. Finance Minister Harris in his budget speech announced that the provinces participating in the new tax agreements would receive 20 per cent more revenue than under the 1956-57 scale of payments; yet we have only succeeded in pegging our subsidies at the old rate. Why this dlscrepency, and why, in refer- ring to the new agreements, has the unfortunate position of this Province been ignored by Federal Government spokesmen? We hope Indeed that this glaring inequality will be rem- edied, for it is the question of most vital concern to our taxpayers dur- ing the next five years. Speaking at Edmonton on Wed- nesday, Trade Minister Howe pre- dicted that the Canadian economy will expand this year at the fastest pace in its history. If this prediction is fulfilled, it could mean I much larger federal surplus than the 5152,- 00(l,0()0 forecast by Mr. Harris for the current fiscal year. Last year he showed it surplus of b282,500,000. more than double the amount he predicted. But as the Globe and Mail pointed out in a recent editorial, the development Canada now enjoys is grotesquely lopsided. British Colum- bia. Alberta, Ontario and Quebec are getting virtually all the expansion; the remaining six Provinces lag far behind, with Prince Edward Island in the worst position of all-"a fine commentary on the Confederation that was born there." "This complex issue," says our Toronto contemporary. "may he simply stated. The Provinces (which bear the main burden of develop- ment) are strapped for money: the Dominion (which reaps the main profit from development.) is rolling in it. True, Ottawa will pay' the Provinces some .'5640 million during the present fiscal year. But it will collect in all. more than 55 billion- Gathering a tax harvest of this magnitude, Ottawa has no reason or excuse to treat the Province: so shabhily. The least it could do would be to use lts.recun-ent surpluses Is I development fund from which they amid obtain straight grants for pub- lh: works of national significance, qnl long-term low-interest loans for it! .i run... we need In thlI'Pmvlnce 3 I Itubltlutlon grunt that us to maintain I mlnimtlm .-ii Jlquldntlng projects of their 0 A Lei-Down Last fall at the time of the Hun- garian revolt nothing was too good for these valiauit fighteis for free- dom. The countries of the free world vied with one another in offering them hospitality and promising them peace and security. Well. the novelty seems to have worn off; and at the piesent time there are about 30,000 refugees in Austria who are wondering what's going to happen to them, now that the United States has virtually clos- ed its 'doors. Austria cannot look after them indefinitely; and to re- turn to their homeland would almost certainly me'an imprisonment. or something worse. Their chief griu.'- ance is with the United States, and no wonder. It was mainly through the ui-gings of the Voice Of America that they decided to rise agaiiist their oppressors in the hope that the West and the United States in pa:-tit-ular would come to their aid. When this did not happen they were natiirnlly and justifiably embittered: and now they are are told that the l'nited States is not only unprepared to admit more of them but may he oiiliccd to deport some of those al- ready in the country: since they were admitted only temporarily pending further action by (loiigress. This action has not been taken. nor is there any indication that it will be, notwithstanding Mr. Eisenhow- er's appeal to Congress to liberalize the immigration laws. It seems clear, therefore, that unless Canada comes to their rescue, 30,000 refugees from Soviet barbar- ism will have to give up their hopes of freedom. The British have already taken 20.000, about as many as they can handle. EDITORIAL NOTES A I00-year-old man attributes his longevity to "peppermint candy and the fact that I have always looked after 'myself well." The first recipe is the more tasty, but the second appears to be the more reasonable. O O C An American Church official says that "the Christian churches in Asia will be thriving when Communism has become only a word in the die- tionary." It's a hopeful viewpoint and the free world must hope that events will prove it to have been justified. But there's no mistaking the Communists strong attempts to prove it to have been false. When they speak of holidays in Newfoundland they know what they are talking about. Good Friday was one and Easter Monday another. The next day being St. George's Day was also set aside. So there were three of them virtually in a row, not counting Sunday. For some reason, people went to work on Saturday- by an oversight, no doubt. O I O The Social Creditors have prom- iscd, if elected to office in the June 10 election, to lower taxes, make money easier to get, increase old age pensions to M00 a month. estab- lish parity prices for agricultural products and increase income tax exemptions 5096. As far as promises go, no party has done any better. Before polling day comes around they ought to describe the formula for looking after those grandiose plans. 0 O I The Canadian Government has informed the United States that the sale of American wheat to Poland under a long term credit plan may "upset" the world wheat market. It is certain to work against Canada's ex rt trade, unless the Government ca compete for the Polish business on the same terms; and that seems to be out of the question. One thing is sure: the United States Govem- ment is deterrnlned to get rid of surplus wheat on the best terms Ivlllable, no matter what other country may be hurt in the process. 0 O I Atlong last our friend Mr. John Fmtcr Dulles has arrived at I satis- factory solution for the Suez prob- lem.
