PAGE 4 Newioundlancls Example Legisla.tion_ authorizing federal payments to provincial hospital insur- ance plans starts on July 1. This an- nouncement by Health Minister Mon- teith removes, in effect, the situation under existing legislation, enacted un- der the former Liberal administra- tion. that at least six provinces rep- resenting a majority of the popula- tion must have plans in existence be- fore the Federal Government starts making contributions. On July 1 five provinces—-British Columbia, Alber- ta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New- foundland——are expected to have in operatidn hospital insurance plans eligible for federal aid. Ontario’s plan will start Jan. 1. The federal share is 50 per cent of the cost of the provin- cial insurance program. It is ironic to note that Newfound- land“-which on a claim of-dire fiscal need received 30 per cent of the At- lantic Provinces grants-in—aid from the Diefenbakeri Government in ad- dition to‘ the aid it will receive under 1 Royal Commission Report, pending—is the only one of the.At1an- tic Provinces'able to participate in the hospital insurance scheme on July 1. With 3 Liberal government in pow- ed provincially, it is the only one of the Atlantic Provinces which succeed- ed in returning a strong Liberal rep- ‘ resentation in the recent federal con- test. Premier Smallwood must be quite a. man! Or is it just another ex- ample of "the truth of the late Premier Lea’s maxim, that it’s the squeaking wheel tha gets the grease? -At the Dominion—Provincia’l con- ference at Ottawa in November, 1957, at which those grants-in-aid were dis- ‘cussed, the intention was to meet ur- gent requirements of the three Mari- time Provinces. Prime Minister'Dief- ' enbaker, in bringing up the subject, said: “There is, of course, a Royal Commission considering__, the particu- ., lar problem of Newfoundland in ac- _ oordance with the undertaking in the terms of union, so I shall not en- deavour to express opinions upon Newfoundland’s position pending re- ceipt of the recommendations of the Commission.” Premier Stanfield of Nova Scotia, aftersuggesting a for- mula. for distribution of the grants, said: “I have referred to my proposal as a. Maritime adjustment grant but let me hasten to add that we in Nova Scotia are not" unmindful of the fi- nancial difficulties of our sister pro- vince, Newfoundland. I felt, however, that in view of the fact that the re- port of the Royal Commission estab- lished to-inquire into the position of Newfoundland relative to the Mari- time Provinces is pending, it would be presumptious . for me to suggest a solution to Newfoundla.nd’s prob- lems.” And Premier Flemming of New Brunswick said: “You will note that in discussing the application of special adjustment grants 1 have not included the"fisca.l situation of New- foundland. -My reason for omitting to do so is obvious, since the financial position of that province "is now the subject of inquiry by a Royal Com- mission." » But Premier Smallwood would lis- ten to no talk of that kind. He com- plained that the three Maritime Pro- vinces, financially, were “at least as much above Newfoundland as the rest of Canada is. above the three Maritime Provinces," that the Royal Commission had “nothing to do with this conference” and that Newfound- land wouldn’t stand for being “short- changed”. “I dare not go back to New- foundland if I do not make this point.” he warned. “I dare not go back and the Prime Minister will not dare to go back!” So Newfoundland carried the day and at the ‘ subsequent Halifax con- f°“‘*“‘—*‘—* ‘ll Szovernment officiiils the gllam “*3 Spill. four ways instead of and we, instead of getting $3,. a ’ ll" ‘"4 ‘expected not $2,500,000 “lid bad if) fight considcralilo. opposi- hm‘ "‘ zetlllltl it, NewiToundl.-ind is ’1°W 1'<"rld.V to embark on hospital in. uurance, leaving the rest oi; us at the starting post, Prince Edward Island of course included. It's a strange sit- uation. One can find a moral for the incident much easier than a plausible explanation, which we haven’t yet been able to obtain from any source. l ‘ press still . Eliecls Cl The Ruclions President lilisenhower hinted at a conference that the Violence against Vice President Nixon at cer- tain points in his Latin American tour may help to build up support at home for his liberal trade program which is having hard sledding in Congress. The‘ theory is that behind the riots and turmoil was dissatisfaction with Uni- ted States’ tariff policies, among other things. Some Congressmen appear to agree with this. But in the main they are those who already were in favour of lower tariffs and other aspects of I , a liberal trade policy. The opponents of the measure are taking a contrary view. They are, saying in effect that “the more you give them, the more they want.” One Senator expressed his resentment this way: “We send them money, and they throw rocks at and spit on our officials. We send them our books, and they burn our libraries.” It would not be surprising if this sentiment —were found to be widespread ; for isolationism still car- ries an attraction for a lot of Ameri- cans. There will be no riots or angry demonstrations of any sort when President Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles visit Ottawa. in July. This, however, will not be because Cana- dians have no grievance against Am- erican trade policies but because-—‘ fortunately—-—they lack the heated characteristics of the Latin American temperament. But should the ructions in Peru and Caracas result in more’ liberal trade policies at Washington, Canada will share in the benefits. It is, of course, only fair to say that the disorders in Peru and Vene- zuela were the work of a. relatively few extremely hot-headed persons, egged on very likely by Communjstic agitation. Most of the Peruvians and ‘ Venezuelans probably are heartily ashamed of the whole sorry business. Electronic Developments A Radar was a British invention. It is fitting, therefore, and not surpris- ing that Britain should lead the world in the manufacture of.radar equip- ment. A report from London states that-two firms can each claim that ‘ their radio and radar apparatus is in use by 30 air forces and 50 airlines as well as on airfields all over the world. In fact, Britain leads in the entire field of electronics, according to the British Radio Communications and A Electronics Engineering A5§’s“dciatiiin.- In the general field of ‘ communica- tions British manufacturers are at present providing major installations in Canada, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Ecuador, Malaya, Portuguese Africa, Singapore, Spain and the Sudan. The biggest order filled last year was the new high-powered, multi-channeled transatlantic radio link between Ma- drid and New York. Defence radar equipment has been sold to several NATO countries which are now being equipped with high-power, high-fre- quency radio system. ‘ Electronic developments in navi- gation include‘ a radar device in which all the equipment is carried by the air craft and thus is entirely in- dependent of ground aids. This, too, is of British origin. - EDITORIAL NOTES A cow in Munising, Mich., gave birth to four healthly calves the other day. She will be a proud mother.

CONGKE55 » i r«loRANcE NOT ALONE 0 THIS CONTINENT OTTAWA REPORT Prospective Boom—Tovvn By Patrick special Correspondent for The Guardian I Prince Albert: This “hub" of the northern two-thirds of Sask- atcl’1ewan.w-ill become a boom- lown if the Pare-Cambrian shield proves as rich here as in other provinces. -Eorest products. mixed farm- ing, and ten thousand virtually unfished lakes promise bread- and-butter business for this city indefinitely. But for the jam, Prince Albert imust pin its hopes on successful prospecting. To date, the northern two-thirds have not been systematically prospected; only in the Lake Ath- abask-a area, in the north - west tip of the province, has a boom mining camp sprung up. But this will change, especially when min- ’ eral riches in other more acces- sible and populous regions be- come fully stalked and exhausted. Travellers in that region, such as “The Flying Magistrate” J. E. Lussier, have told me that they have noticed glistening and stained rocky outcrops as fre- quent reminders that the Pre- Cambrian shield stitetc-hes across Saskatchewan. And these anom- alies may indicate that here too Canada has mineral riches to anatch the world’s largest gold- field around '1‘immins, the world's richest nic<kel~deposit around Sud- bury, and the prosperous Elliot -Lake uranium camp, which the ' Shield has giyen Ontario.

OUR YESTERDAYS “ (From The Guardian Files) TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (May 21, 1933) The Carnegie grant in Island libraries was the chief matter discussed alithe meeting of the Abcgweit Chapter of the l.O.D.E. at Summerside Thursday. Miss Gladys.Holman stated that five hundred books would be avail- able for the Summerside library every three months. In addition someone would be sent to cala- logue the books. It was also de- cided that Miss Ramsay. librar- ian, would attend the lectures on library work to be given at Prince of Wales College this slimmer. An inl.ereslin_: feature of the P. 151.}.

A SUGGESTION Sir.---—O'ur citizens will be call- ed on to vote on whether the pre- sent setup of administration of control, of Water and. Sewage be continued or absorbed by the City Council. It is disappointing that so little information is yet. in v the minds of the average citizen. Unless more interest is ,shown only an extremely small vote can be expected. Would it be out of place for one to voice his per- sonal observation at such a time? In lh mind of the writer the Water ommilssions of the past have done a much better job than is usually hxpected of an elected but unpaid City Council. Noathwithsta.u.din«g the excellence of -the present Council it is to be remembered that they may not be followed by equally trust- worthy successors. I am inclined to think -that our School Board. appointed by the Council and therefore not. sub- jected to the pressures of an elected body are . an excellent example of efficiency w hii c h might well be copied. Why not try the same system with‘appointed Water Commissioners? It must not be assumed that the.citizens have not a great deal of appreciation and trust in the present Council but the prece- dent; established this week will operate for good or ill over many years or generations to come. ‘ I am Sir, elc..
