Now he has served notice that federal gov- ernment ministers can expect some hot and heavy debate on the subject when the federal-provincial confer- ence opens in Ottawa on July 19. This is a fight for a potential mul- timillion dollar jackpot and it is one in which seven ‘other provinces are vitally concerned. For once, their interests seem to be pulling the same wav. Mr. Lesage says he has the backing of the premiers of these provinces but denies that there has been any “ganging up.” What the provinces want, he says. is to have _.the matter decided out of the courts | because they consider it to be politi- ‘eal rather than judical. The preced- ent of provincial jurisdiction over the offshore mineral rights, he main- tains. was established by Nova Scotia which has been mining coal under the ocean for years. The Maritime provinces, Quebec and British Columbia are all affect- ed because they border on the sea. “T} 1e Ontario and Manitoba are concerned _, as well. because they touch of Hud- son's Bay, which is considered high Seas. into the controversy and arous- ed Mr. Lesage’s ire was the grant- ing by Ottawa of an oil and gas ex- ploration permit in the Gulf of St. | prospects of change. This will make, Lawrence to a Calgary company, when permits covering much of the same area had previously been is- sued by the Quebec government to Hvdro-Quebec. With an already overloaded agenda, next month's federal-pro- vincial conference promises to be a stormy one if the provincial spokes- men insist on having a showdown on this issue. What it is to be hoped that Ottawa won't attempt to do-is- buy off the more powerful provinces with concessions that will not apply to all. Speaking Of History A refreshing breeze occasionally | in the Midlands.

When jt does, it tends to get less publicity than it deserves. This was the case in connection with a trenchant reply to the oft-repeated argument that our Canadian histor- jes should be. revamped to produce some sort of “bicultural’”’ history. Then, the argument runs. French- speaking and English-speaking stud- ents would be given the same picture of their country's past and so would find it easier to agree on what to do about the sriags in its present. . On this point the University of Toronto Press had something to say to the commission in a brief submit- ted earlier this year. which we hadn't seen until now, and which it has just yecently printed in its Press News. Here it is: - . “The fact that a historian, writ- Yng in French. takes a different view of certain events of Canadian history ¥rom that of another historian writ- ing in English, need not be regarded as any more. remarkable than the fact’ that two historians writing in French disagree, or that two historians writ- ing in English differ (as they fre- quently do).

Many citizens who take a large interest in politics and less interest in the parties, he says, | have difficulty in understanding this. | They everlook the fact that the con- | stituency or, riding, the locality rath- er than the region or county, is the _ MP's bed-rock. Most of them are already at work to adapt their present organization and: their personal following to the new lines. For a minority, probably about 25 per cent, it means search- ing for a new home. Most of these know that their first conformation will be with another MP of their own —riding-—Beyond-that-they-know-that—; the general shake-up of redistribution | will encourage all kinds of ambition | for party nominations. Mr. Fisher describes this as the “deuces wild” | effect of redistribution. which was | refaced in 1963 by another incentive | 0 aspirants when MPs’ pay and per- quisites were boosted to $18,000. Plots and ploys to capture nomin- ations for ridings are not rare, and ow - both the low cost of membership and the ease with which almost anyone have a voice at a nomination meet- ings encourages such activities. But they will be more in evidence now than before. .Everwhere there are Mr. Fisher predicts, for ‘‘the busiest. noisest, most unpredictable pre-elec- tion period in this country. If it should happen that the process is complemented by a Conservative leadership contest of some months. as seems possible, the future for the partisan Canadian is exciting beyond imagination.” For the rest of us. let’s hope it won't be too much of a headache. - Not Wanted There It seems that the fiery cross, - bizarre symbol of the color-crazed Ku Klux Klan, has appeared in Britain in raids on the homes of immigrants Police reject the notion. that the Klan is already at work there, however. They see these despicable incidents as the work of juveniles or people with a childish mentality.. Unfortunately, it is their appeal to this type of people that has made them formidable imsome parts | ~ of the United States—certainly not to the saner, more mature element. This appears to be what the London Sunday Mirror. has in mind when it says, with reference to the police statement: “Let them remem- ber that 100 years ago the Klan be- gan as a prank with young Southern gentlemen donning white robes to | frighten one-time Negro slaves en- | joying their first taste of freedom, It was a prank that degenerated into terror—a jest that nourished blind | prejudice and unleashed hate. “Earlier this year President .

S NEW WASHINGTON MONUMENT _——— FROM ANNA TO WENDA Why Nice Girls’ Names ae Hurricanes? Names of hurricans for the 1965 season range from Anna to Wenda. The Weather Bureau isnt plaving games in Nas canes girls names; it a serious purpose Use of: short, easily rememb- ered names helps to avoid errors in the transmission of vital in- formation between widely scat- .tered stations, ships at sea, and fly into the center of the storms, the Nationa! Geograph- ic Society says The names reduce confusion when two or more tropical cyc- Jones occur at the same time. In 1950, for example, four unnam- ed hurricanes simultaneously whirled across the Gulf of Mex- feo, the Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. Warnings about one storm were mistaken for another hundreds of miles away. STORM CALLED ALICE To avoid this kind of mis- understanding, hurricanes in the three areas were designated by a phonetic alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie, etc.) in 1951 and 1952. In 1953, the Weather Bur- eau began christening the tro- pical disturbances with girls’ names. The ‘first was a minor early-season storm called Alice. In 1960, a semipermanent rost- er of four sets of names was in- troduced. A separate set is used each year, beginning with the first name in the group. After four years the rotation of sets begins again. Whenever a maj- or hurricane affects the United States, its name is retired for 19 years and another substitut- ed The 1965 name* are Anna, Betsy.

Canada Lends A Mace Leslie Roberts In The Montreal Star As the result of a chance con- | mace, versation between two parliam- entary | speakers attending the London celebrations of the 700th anniversary. of parliament in Britain, the spare or dummy mace of Canada’s House of Commons is on its way to Nas- sau, and the Bahama Lezisla- ture will open on schedule at the beginning of July with all the required symbols What the item at least proves is that not all the zany parlia- mentary behavior in the world happens on the hill in Ottawa. a is how the mace story be- gin Our Alan Macnaughton had heen listening to a tale of woe from his opposite Bahamian number, the Right Honorable R H.

And how could he run a legislature without that symbol of parliamentary authority, the mace” “We could lend re.” Mr. Macnauzhton said, you our i but how. did you lose yours?” The way the story goes, in the angry moments of the last session in Nassau, the leader of the oppo- sition created a scene. a gambit of which Canadians who fo"low their country’s political activi- | ties are not withou! knowledge least rated The angry this one at “iginal)ty But marks for - gentleman stepped out from his | seat, hoisted the mace from its forked resting place and flung it | out the nea..st window without . | even troubling to open years without | it.

But Peking apparently feels the change has put China one up over the Soviet Union in the struggle of the Commu- nist giants for Africa Algerian spokesmen say the change simply means Ahmed Ben Rella was a poor and , power-mad ruler and was de- | posed by Col. Houari dienne on those grounds—not for political reasons But approving noises irom Peking—and silence from Mos- “cow indicate that the big wheels of communism see more _significance in the change than a mere clash, between two am- bitious Arabs. : This was apparent at the conference of Commonwealth prime ministers in London, where China’s top diplomat in Britain. Hsiun@ Hsianc hui, was busy in support of Bounve- dienne. Commenting on the timing of the’ overthrow last weekend. one Arab source said Boume- dienne had to act before the second Afro-Asian summit con- ference. which was planned for next week In Algiers Ben Bella, as host of such an important gathering. would have nicked up so much pres- tige that Boumedienne ‘might be some | Boume- — success the leaders didn't want to go ab this time—but the Chinese interest was significant The Chinese apparently hoped to. accord Boumedienne _ the prestige that in other circum. stances would have: fallen to Ben Bella Some observers feel the im portance of the summit meet. ing, bringing together the rulers ‘of the greater part of mankind, is underestimated in Western countries. It is the first such meeting since the 1955 confer-. ence. in Bandung, Indonesia. MEETING UNLIKELY To be host at the 60-country meeting would Indeed be a rousing start for the new Al- gerian leader but all indications are that this will be denied him for the present at least because of unrest in Algiers. The risks . would be enough to strike dread {nto the heart of any security ' officer: This will probably ease tem- porarily the quarrel. between Peking .and Moscow as to whether Russta should get a seat at the meeting. Being only partly an Asian power, Russia's claims to an invitation are le- gitimately disputed More important is the struz- gle between the two for con- verts. in Africa to their partic-. ular brands of communism.
