PAGE i wensssm, i-‘Eanuaiiv rinses) : Inspiring Prospects Sometimes it is hard to see the woods for the trees. to know whether it's progress or retrogrossion we’re making while we’re occupied with our day-to-day activities, individual- ly or as a community. It is only when we pause to look back for a i moment. and forward to what lies ‘ ahead, that we get a truer perspec— tive. That‘s worth the effort at any time. But on this occasion there I are spccial for drawing ' encmiragoment from a survey of our recent achievements as a Province, and of our prospects for the immedi— ate future. Today’s Progress Edition repre- sents an attempt to focus these de- velopments in a fuller manner than has been attempted heretofore; and to our Contributors, advertisers and all concerned in its production we tender our sincere thanks. Guardian readers. We trust, will share our enthusiasm over the t‘oslllls. l‘CR SD n S Our basic industries of agricul- ture and fisheries are faced with serious problems, but there is no doubt that they are making pro- gress through improved techniques and efforts in meeting the demands of changing market requirements. The new activities in tobacco grow- ing. the greater emphasis on beef production, establishment of food processing plants and of an elite potato seed farm. improvement in trawler fishing methods, and the re- sourccs program under which it is hoped to have the. whole province organized into a major develop- ment area by the end of this year. are cases in point. In tourism our progress has been phenomenal. Our roads to resources program shows greater development per capita than any other part of the Dominion. Our regional high building program, covering the province from Souris to Tig- nish. ls nearing completion and will mark another milestone in our for- ward march. Our capital city. towns and municipalities have embarked on ambitious projects of their own. And who can assess the value, culturally, educationally and in other ways. of the magnificent Fathers of Confederation Memorial Building on which work has now started, and fifths tremendous boost which the 1. Island will rcceive in connection ; with the Charlottetown Conference centennial activities during 1964? Our projected Causeway will not be ready then. of course. though we expect that it will be under way; but close to 60 Conventions are scheduled for the city during this period. And this is only one aspect of a program which will bring the whole Province into the limelight as never before. There will be many problems ahead. They will all present chal- lenges of one kind or another; but aurer we can meet them with re newed hope and confidence as we use the direction in which we are hurling—towards a brighter and more prosperous future for oursel- "m and than who come after ua. ‘ Hard Road Ahead It is disturbing to note that of school least 20 are already in trou. " noisily. This statement was " Prof. George H.T. Kimble. I ~§Wdfl.keport. who added that 10M are going to be nearer 30 time ea more arena gain muepen- deuce." The rush for freedom in all parts of the world since World War II is understandable. However. the quickness with which it came to many newly independent nations, without proper preparation and with little hope of economic stability, may in the and prove tragic. Some of the new African coun- tries, such as the Somali republic, have a budget “that would have run to about a week’s take at Sears, Roe- buck. when the farm subsidies were coming in.” Only a handful of new countries “have more spending money than a decent sizcd mid- western university." They haVe friends and are getting loans, but have little prospects of repayinz them. The trouble, as Prof. Kimble sees it. is that the new nations are now independent "of" their former colonial rulers but have little to be independent “on” other than hand- outs from friends. Freedom th at brings chaos and new forms of politi- cal tyranny will mean new problems for the countries themselves, and for the world at large. However, these must bo regard- ed as growing pains. The emerging nations must be given time in which to reach maturity. They must be given a chance to make their own mistakes. and encouraged to profit by them. The United Nations has no more valuablc function than in acting as a clearing house for prob- lems of this kiiyi. There can be no turning back now to the old days of colonialism. whatever the risks involved. The more stable countries, nursed in a long tradition of free- dom, must understand this. Their role is to give. what help they can. and hope for thc. bcst. A Moot Question It is to be hoped that when the federal candidates get round to mak- ing their election promises. they will bear in mind the following state- ment by the Canadian Tax Founda- tion; "Although the Throne Speech on Sept. 27. 1962. stated that the ob- jective of the government was ‘a balanced budget’, it would appear that little progress can be made to- wards this goal in the coming year unless new taxes are introduced or spending cut back drastically. The anticipated growth rate for t h e economy is not sufficient to expand revenues beyond the amount need- ed to keep pace with the upward thrust of expenditures.” The Foundation report goes on to note that if the growth rate could be stepped up. progress to- ward a balanced budget would be possible without higher taxes or spending cuts. So, with every elec- tion promise involving more expend- iture we shuil expect an explanation of how the “growth rate" is going to be stepped up to enable the prom- ise to be kept. That could be a much more fruit- ful field for discussion than the nu- clear armament squabble, over which the parties are at sixes and. sevens and the electors bordering on a state of complete befuddlcmcnt in their cf- 3 forts to separate the oratorical wheat from the chaff. EDITORIAL NOTES At a recent annual sale of high- grade British livestock at Perth. Scotland, at world record price was paid when an Aberdeen-Angus bull, 13 months old, was sold to a rep- rcsentative of an American group of cattle men for 60,000 guineas, approximately $176,400. 3 O 0 According to figures issued by Dr. E.F. Sheffield, research officer for the Canadian Universities Foun- dation. university enrolment in Can- ada over the decade of the sixties is expected to increase by over 10 per cent a year—in actual figures from 114,000 in 1960-61 to 312,000 in 1970-71. By the timc the decade is over, our universities will be ask- ed to accommodate almost thrcc time as many students as before. I.

Shorten The Campaign Ottawa Election Day is April 8. One thing that everyone was as on in e three general elections was that the campaigns were too long. With modern communications and ease of travel we no longer need the minimum 57 days' notice of election day. But th e law is there. It should be changed. Actually, the statute is that the enumeration must begin the 49th day before the polling day. But to get the enumerators pre- pared the electoral office insists on 57 days between the day which the writs are issued and .1 the day of voting. But there is no law asserting that the actual campaigning. the speeches. should begin at once. All parties are in a state of Up To Macmillan . Cape Breton Post Prime Minister Menzies of Au- stralia is quite right in believing that an early Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference. would be premature at th stage. This is something for Canadian consideration. Mr. Menzies reached this conclusion after a cabinet meet- ing in Canberra the capital of Australia — which consider- ed the failure of the Brussels negotiations on British entry in- t e European E c o n o mic Community.
