PAGE 6 FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19. 1962 Mr. Fulton's Visit Price Edward Island welcomes a distinguished visitor today in the person of the Hon. E. Davie Fulton, Federal" Minister of Public Works, who has not lost much time since his appointment to his new portfolio to embark upon a tour of Maritime public works projects and get ac- quainted, at first hand, with our problems in this part of the country. Officially the minister's visit here calls for an inspection of the new dock facilitios at Charlottetown and Borden, and of the low-rental housing project which has been launched u n d e r federal auspices. But there is no doubt that he will be interested, also, in inspecting the terminal site for that great under- taking to which his Government is now definitely c o m m i t t e d——the $105,000,000 causeway which will link us permanently with the main- land. We cannot too strongly im- press upon the minister the im- portance this project has for us, and the great interest which at- taches to every scrap of information we can get as to the manner in which it is being brought to fruition. For this reason, we would respectfully urge upon him the need of author- izing full and frequent progress re- ports by his department. Two years ago we received from his deputy, Major General Young, a comprehensive report in this con- nection, at a time when the economic feasibility of the work was still undetermined. We should like to have this report up-dated, and supplemented from time to time with equally detailed information. This would, we suggest, be of value to the Government as well as to our citizens, inasmuch as it would keep the subject before the country, and give people in other parts of Canada a. better idea of what the undertak- ing involves. During the last election cam- paign we read a lot of ill-informer] criticism of Prime Minister Diefen- baker’s causeway pledge to this Province—-criticism which, we be- lieve. was due largely to the fact that the pro_iect, and its importance to the whole Atlantic area, had receiv- ed such poor publicity on the floor of parliament. For the most part, the members had nothing to go on but. the Iaconic—and often ironic- replies of the then minister, Mr. Walker, to queries for information from the Opposition benches. There is need for improvement here. if the work is to go forward with the ap- _, proval it merits from Canadians i generally. Perhaps the Minister will have eomething to say on this point in his press interview today. In any pase. we can assure him of our ap- preciation of his concern for our interests. and our hope that he will _keep our aspirations in mind when _he returns to his duties at Ottawa. ‘. Stern Liberal Comment Since the Winnipeg Free Press M ‘lie a strongly Liberal newspaper, we .Imay assume that it was chiefly ..'to its own party leaders that it directed a trencharlt editorial the Bother day, in which it complained” the debate on the Speech Biron: the Throne, that “not a single “ liiiokesman for either the govern- or the official opposition was it... to face lb publicly to the “ ’‘ ueeof tbepresent crisis, and flfllflyflififlf-QMTXIQ motions against the government been carried a few days" ago, and another general election been called at this time, it is obvious that the emphasis would shift entirely to vote-catching policies, and the dire state of the economy receive even less attention than it is getting now. Our Winnipeg contemporary didn't say so, but that was the drift of its editorial warning. “For five years,” it said, “the nation has been living beyond its means, both in its domestic public expenditures and in its internation- al balance of payments. Domestical- ly it has spent on current account alone something in the order of a million dollars a day more than it has raised in taxes; internationally it has supported itself by selling off its assets to foreign investors. The emergency measures of last June temporarily slowed the hemorrhage, but did nothing to heal the wound: The federal deficit this year will be about $500 millions and the deficit on international trade will be larger than last year's.” If Mr. Pearson was bringing for- ward measures to correct this situ- tion, now, he would be on sound but not very popular ground in demand- ing a change of government. But the Free Press didn’t see him in this heroic role at all. Though naming no names, it concluded with this blunt admonition: “If the present process continues-——which is to say that if our political leaders continue to evade reality by making new promises instead of meeting old problems——there will be m ore and worse crises in the future." This warning, we note, the Free Press has repeated in a subsequent comment in which it gets down to naming names, and to advising Mr. Pearson as to the kind of leadership he should be giving at this time. “When, for example,” it asks, “does he propose to balance the national budget? Is that balance to be the first or second priority of his prog- ram? Are large capital expenditures to precede or follow an increase in revenue? Are expanded social ser- vices of various sorts to be attempt- ed now or postponed until the nation can afford them ? Does Mr. Pearson’s attack on ‘tight money’ mean that he would greatly expand the money supply or merely make credit a little easier as a stimulant to business? These and other questions have yet to be answered understandably in Mr. Pearson's speeches but they must be answered soon if he is to make a decisive impact on the vot- ers.” Should Be Bilingual The Social Credit bloc appears to have a legitimate complaint that, while bilingualism is officially recog- nized in the Parliament of Canada, the rules of Parliament, as found in Beauchesne’s authoritative volume on the subject, are published only in English. There is no French edit- ion available to a French-speaking member anxious to brush up on the rules and practices of the House. When this point was raised in the form of a question the other day, Mr. Speaker Lambert promised to take it into consideration and rep(n°t to the House later. ' This is due, apparently, to the fact that works of this kind are not published by the Queen's Printer at public expense, but printed as a commercial venture, with the copy- right held by the author as is done "in the case of legal texts. It seems unreasonable indeed, as several commentators have point-. ed out, to expect French-speaking MP3 to grope for practices and precedents in weighty volumes written in a language with which they are not familiar. After Mr. Speaker has looked into this matter, it is likely that he will authorize their publication through the Queen's Printer.as~a means of over- _ coming the difficulty. _ EDITORIAL NOTE Finance Minister Nowlsn con- tinues to spice his speeches with his own refreshing brand of humor. "1 must say, Mr. Speaker," he remark- ed the other day, “that ‘as a private’ marnber it was run ch simpler‘ to enter this chamber with an envelope stuck In your pocket and you could look at it.’ than it is, as Minister of Finance, to come in with a text, the pages of which I invariably get mixed up." .3‘ .

Within living memory, Que- bcc has voted overwhelmingly further, the execution of the French-Indian rebel, Louis Riel. by gover"ment of St John A. Macdonald in 1885 marked the turning point. Pre- viously to that. Quebec had vot- ed predominantly for Conserva- tive candidates. had supported the great party of national unity created jointly by Sir John A. Macdonald and Georges Etienne Cartier, in six of our first seven general elections. But in subsequent elections. the shadow of i , e man who had adjured his religion and abandoned his citizenship, has hung menacingly over Con- servative candidates. In gener- al elections in this century. the number of Conservatives el ed in the province of Quebec has been respectively: 7, 11, 11, 27. 3. 0, 4, 4, 24 (in 1930). 5, 1. l. 2, 4. 9.50 lin 19581 and 14. The total number of seats in Quebec in 1900 was 65: it has now risen to 75. LIBERAL FOUNDATION With that record. the Liberal Party has grown to rely on a solid Quebec base. In fact, when the debacle of 1958 left the Li- berals cut to shreds in Parlia- ment. more than half of their total representation came from Quebec. Their planned come- brick in this year's election was predicated upon a sweep or H near-sweep in the province of Quebec. plus. of course. similar success in the areas of French- Canadian overspill, in eastern Ontario. 1 u""‘h—west New Brunswick, in northern Ontario and in southern Manitoba. 13 they were surprised by the surge of Social Credit. the party which had once. 16 years ago. elected a solitary M.P.

American troops have been in the Southeast Asian country for almost a year. contending with heat, mud. mosquitoes, leeches and hostility on the part of their bosts—as well as the Commu- nist Vlet Conl rebels. There now are some 8,000 to 10,000 Americans acting as ad- visers to the 180,000-man South Vietnamese forces. At least 16 Americans have been killed in ction.

And from M.

Perhaps the ehrewdest point was made by Gilles Gregoire (Lapointe). who very reason- ably asked that the book of rules of procedure of the House of Commons should be published . French language edition, supplementing the longtime En- glish edition. Quebec rights and aspirations are also referred to daily in the French-language speeches by the Socreds. who have quick- ly put themselves right into con’- tention for Quebec allegiance. rillo Worforle Cumlng Writer admits that because of in- creased attacks on our helicop- ters it has become necessary to give them additional means of protecting themselves.” The US. continues to insist, however. that its forces are non-combatant advisers. A statement issued by the U.S. forces In Viet Nam this week said: “There is no change in the status of American advisers in let am ey remain as ad- visers, not as combat troops. They are authorized by e president of the United states to return fire to protect them- selves or other Americans when fired upon. This decision can be made only by the individual on scene . . ." The apparent U.S. aim is to keep the struggle localized as much as possible until the revol- ution can be broken.

According to Population Bul- lelln. the original surge in pop- ulation was caused by the large, influx of rican slaves, labor- ers from India. and settlers from Europe. Epidemics and violent storms took a heavy toll in human lives in the early years. which leveled off th excess population from births. Ships brought plague-carrying rats and aa tary conditions were not the best. There were epidemics of smallpox, cholera. dysentery, polio, and influenza. Malaria became a problem im- proved during periods of pros- perity and declined when eco-_ nornlc conditions deteriorated. D'.D.T. Took care of malaria. Fewer people died and more babieswere born. The old bal- ance between births and deaths wert upset and the population soared. Between 1871 and 1946 it inched up to 428.000. "F r o m 1946 to 1961 it reached 656,000-, ar increase of more than 50 per cent in 15 years. If this con- tinues there will be two mil- li(n Mauritians by A.D.
