Pr ie By MITCHELL OTTAWA (CP)The parties have a wide assortment of goods on the count fer the voters to pick over be- fore Nov- 8. But i's often tough to find the price tag As the party in power, the Liberals have been able to time some announcements of speci- fic spending programs to fit in meatly with their appeal to the, voters. Just before the election was called.-a $2,000,000 grant was announced for a hockey arena-trade centre in Vancou- ver. Since the election call Sept. 7 there has been a series of similar government announce “ments: —$500,000,000 over 15 years | for medical and dental re search and training facilities. —$100,000,000 for a long-term northern roads program. $40,000,000 for a university | scholarship program over) four years. —A. $25,000,000 investment in |— 'Dept. Store | Sales Strong | Nova. Scotia’s coal industry. —$12,000,000 for Eskimo hov- sing. a But these tangible figures are Vike the top of the iceberg— much more remains under wa- ter. PROMISE MEDICARE The Liberals have promised implementation of a medical care insurance program. The government has offered $14 per capita to provinces joining the proposed plan. This would put the annual federal bill at about $300,000,- 000 But many provinces think the $14 will not meet half the per- person cost of such a plan. At the latest federal - provincial health conference, the govern- ment gave a comitment to boost the federal payment if this estimate proves too low. So it’s qifficult to say just what the program might cost wher put into operation. New Democrat Leader Doug: Jas hasn't put a price tag on his party's promises to end univer: sity tuition fees, institute eco | nomic planning, establish a me- dical care program, :spur build- ing of a second trans-Canada highway and improve the posi- | tion of: the farmer. The same | ‘# generally true for the wide- | ranging farm and social wel-| fare programs pledged by the Liberals and Conservatives. An exception was the promise by Alvin Hamilton, former Con- servative agriculture minister; of a $2,000,000,000 Jong - term program to reforest , 20,000,000 Subversion Said Threat OTTAWA (CP) — Canada Is not immune fo the threat of | Communist subversion and | should beware of efforts to pro- voke disharmony ‘between Eng- | Hish- and French - Canadians, | the mayor of Georgetown, Brit- ish Guiana, said Wednesday night. | Rahman B.

That ficure prohably loomed large in Social Credit Leader Thompson's mind when he said that promises by Liberals and Conservatives to date in the campaign would mean expendi: ture of more than $6,000,000,000 A Liberal-Conservative con troversy bubbled up when Prime Minister Pearson tried to put a price tag on Conserva- tive Leader Diefenbaker’'s pledge of an increase in old age pensions to $100 a month from $75 Mr. Pearson said this would mean a tab of about $850,000,- | 000 this year, more than the economy could bear. But Mr. Diefenbaker countered said the prime minister was figuring on $100 a month for those 65 and over but his pledge was for per- sons 7 and over. This would cost $300,000,000 a year, Mr. Diefenbaker said.
