The House Prorogues '.\'ow that the Legislature proroguerl. there. will be a simmer- ing down of heated political issues for a time. The fact that fifty-four bills were given royal assent and placed on the statutes is a reminder that the House. primarily. a work- shop for the. hammering out of lcgis- lation and that all the palaver—if we may call it that. without disre- spect—is incidental to this objective- As is customary in his preroga- tion speech. the Lieutenant Govern nor thanked the members particu- larly for the liberal provision made for carrying on the public services of the province. and assured them that. the moneys appropriated would be carefully and economically spent. This is what goes on the remrd. not. the. stormy discussmns over extravagant. spending alleged by Opposition speakers. particularly in the dying days of the session. We have. no official Hansard in this province. no offirial record apart. from the Journals of the Assembly. which take note only of the business that is transacted, The Government would do well. hOwever. to heed some of the Op- position warnings. especially those Which. were sounded with respect to the increased borrowing powers vested in the Industrial Establish- ment. Corporation. We are aware of the importance of giving every enmuragement. to the establishment of new industries here. and the Gov. ernment is to be commended on the initiative it has taken in this regard. But surely the. House had a right to more. information than it receiv- ed from the responsible minister with regard to the. operations of this corporation and to the vouchers he signed in connection therewith. This was especially the case since the Government is budgeting for another substantial deficit this year. If this kind of financing is necessan' for the establishment of "new enterprises. new wealth. new homes. new jobs. increan training and education." as Premier Shaw maintains. then there was still good sense in the Opposition argument that until these objectives are ach- leved. the Government. could well “hold its fire" on building a costly liquor store for Charlottetown. on the new provincial government. of- fice building. and on other expendi- tures not of very great urgency. has Canada's Example In his evidence last year before the special defense committee. Lieut. General Geoffrey Walsh. chief of the army general staff. gave a. comprehensive report on Canadian operations in support of the United Nations. The situation has changed little up to the time of the Cyprus call last, week. There were in Sinai. for instance. more than 800 servicemen divided among a reconnaissance squadron. a signal troop. and a special group pmviding administrative support for the whole of the UN. Middle East Eastern Force. In the Congo there was a Canadian signals unit with over 300 all ranks and a staff con- tribution in the United Nations Congo headquarters. The Yemen, primarily an air force operation. was then just get- ting under way. There were 42 Canadian officers and 32 men serv- ing with international though not U.N. commissions on Vietnam and Laos; other small groups of spec- ilalists in Palestine and Kashmir. A mixed army and air force team was training the Ghanaian armed forces. l l Manpower then involved in these army tasks was 1.270. Any proper appraisal of the situation must also take into ac- count the fact, that we have on NATO duty in Europe about 6.500 men in the independent brigade group and another 6.000 in the air division. There is also a reinforce- ment commitment: two-thirds of a division earmarked as the supreme commander's strategic reserve in Canada. It was in 1956 that a battalion earmarked for l'.N. it kept in readiness. there was no demand for it until this month when the call came which has now resulted in the dis- patch to (‘yprus of l.15fl troops and some too Rl‘Ali‘ personnel. This record is plainly a matter of pride for all parties at. Ottawa and there has not been any in- clination (except among isolationist ('rcditisios) to shirk the heavy new responsibility. But a. heavy respon- sibility it. is. and there is a limit to the extent to which it can be shouldered while there are other states of the L'nitcd Nations which enjoy all the privileges of member- ship but apparently are prepared neither bear their lot nor my their shot in the world organiza- tion. Three of the permanent. mem- bers of the Security Council. even before the Cyprus crisis. were he. hind nearly 53.90.000.000 in their commitments for other peace-keep- ing operations Canada now is in a good position to suggest to all and sundry that. if there is to be collective security. there should be collective respon- Elblll'§'- was service. \Vh l le \\'z'l S to luconsmfeol Speaking at the Ifm'ted Nations trade conference at Geneva yesteru day. External Affairs Minister Martin listed several ways in which the richer countries could help the poorer ones—including the abolition of tariffs and other restrictions on certain products and raw materials. There is. indeed, need for a scaling down of tariffs in many ways. Not long ago in Vancouver. Trade Min- ister Sharp gave a rousing speech on the need for Canada to set. its sights on “freer trade which en- ables us to obtain better access to existing and developing markets." Trade not being a, one-way street. and the present government being so strongly in favor of mak- ing it. freer. one might expect that it would be concerned about. the im- balance in our Japanese trade. In the first eleven months of last. year we sold Japan $262 million worth of products. buying only $117 million worth in return. Since 1956 Japan has “volun- tarily“ limited the exports of eight kinds of goods to Canada in order to avoid disturbing the domestic market. (which really means dis- turbing domestic manufacturers). The items include textiles. stainless steel tableware. transistor radios. plywoods. radio and TV tubes. poly- ester buttons. and footwear. With a government. in Ottawa dedicated to freeing trade. are the Japanese to be permitted to send us more of these items which they make so well and cheaply? Not a chance. 0n the c’ontrary. according to the Japanese foreign office. Canada, has asked Japan to reduce its 1964 voluntary quotas in these categories. Japan has indicated that. it will reject this request. Canada can re- act. of course. by imposing restrict- ion on Japanese imports without re- sorting to the fiction of “voluntary quotas." But if we. do. Japan may also play the same game—with our wheat. among other things. As the Winnipeg Free Press remarks drily. the Canadian nego- tiators at Ottawa must be having a difficult, time explaining why the government is asking for further restrictions on Japanese imports While its spokesmen are advocating freer trade. EDITORIAL NOTE Two proposals intended to tighten the regulations governing the sale and possession of firearms are being considered by the Justice Department. One would raise the age at which young persons can own guns from 14 to 16 or perhaps 18; the other would give the regis- trar of handguns and automatic weapons authority to refuse regis- tration of such weapons. ._v*l . . ._____< I'HE IDES OF MARCH OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholsoo Hos Proposal Re Welfare Cheques Should the Old Ase Pension be a ’ to millionaires: Do wealrhv familie: require such staff: . paid \elfarn allotments a; the Family Mimlance it certainly s e e m s l.‘~l1 that regular pavmcnt inten- ded to provide FWlal securityi should be distributed man; who have achieved abun- dan‘ P1 nnomir ;nrl]1‘1l\' \‘ever- the let; fin; i; done. the old age pFn;ioli l; officially called [illn- irons!" and is distributed to everyone, the family allowance "is desiened to assist in provi- dm: equal opportunities for all t“ a n a d ian children" but it is rammed down the bank an count of wealthy mother! to remove any equalizing effect it ‘ mizlit othorwise ave ll is refreshing to find YUP at lazt giving tlinuzlit to this paradox In a move which is unprecedented at least within my own memory Some A— Dr Harry Harley. the bright ; youn: member for Halton. 0n- tario. is introducing a bill de- Ml W EASTER ECHO The rlauiour of a world enslav- cd by war and woe and strife Annihilatcs the voice of in who is the Bread of Life.
