[Ii/t" PAGE—6- TUEsoAi'Z—JAN gar: 29,7 That Rumored Increase According to an Ottawa corres- pondent in The Globe and Mail. all three opposition pztrties have agreed in principle to a proposed indemnity boost for parliamentary members, though there is uncertainty about the size of the increase. A grollp of younger Conservative members are credited with promoting the scheme with the “tacit” approval of Prime Minister Diet'enbaker, and with talking in terms of doubling the indemnity to $20,000 a year. The issue. it is said, came to a head at a (‘onservative caucus early in December. There was some op- position to the proposal. particu- larly in view of the Government’s austerity program; but self interest carried the day, and the Prime Minister reportedly “agreed to ex- ploratory talks with the other parties." The New Democratic party Is quoted as having given an tinder- taking that if a figure can be agreed on unanimously for the increase, its members will support it. without disagreement. The Liberals have agreed in principle to the plan. So- cial Credit is said to be “whole- heartedly in favor of the principle although Socred Leader Robert Thompson has said that the $20,000 figure is ton high.” The most disturbing part of this report in our Toronto contempor- ary is at the tail end. It says: “The Conservative strategy group, includ- ing the Prime Minister, has been thinking in terms of pay increases for members of Parliament ever since they realized last; June 19 that. Social Credit under many condit- ions would hold the balance of power in the Commons. Their study of the Composition of the Socred group led to the belief that the So- cial Credit members might be re- luctant to vote against the Govern- ment and force a quick election if it meant putting a. salary of $15,000 in jeopardy." And. presumably, they would be still more reluctant if the Galaxy in jeopardy were jumped to $20,000. . . We are hoping to see a denial of this report from some authori- tative Conservative source. As it stands," it represents as barefaced a. piece of political bribery as we haveever come across. There may be good reasons why a modest in- crease in sessional indemnities at Ottawa would be in order; bllt sure- ly not on the ground indicated, or in the manner in which this raid on the taxpayers’ money is being manoeuvred. 'Outmoded Already How radically the situation In nuclear defense is changing was in- diuted by the announcement, the other day, that the United States is planning to dismantle its inter- mediate range missile bases in Tur- kcy and Italy. These bases, estab- llehed only four years ago, have become qntiqueain the rocket age. When they are dismantled, and What similar ones removed from Milli, there will be no more Wm la 11 db 9. a e d ballistic adult. .Ixnplaoed In NATO coun- W ed timed at targets In Russia. the NATO alliance will be a notice until close to 1970, but In the meantime the United States has more than enough long-range missile power to shield the alliance. By a curious coincidence, the year 1959——when these now obso- lete missile bases were established in Europe—was the year when Can- ada was supposed to have made a. commitment to arm its NATO force in Europe with nuclear warheads. Or is it a coincidence? Doesn’t it point up the very argument Prime Minister Dict'enl'iaker has been using for delaying a decision on the mat- ter at. this time? The Prime Min- ister may be presumed to have more detailed knowledge of the changing situation than his critics have. but enough is known public- ly to substantiate the statements he has made. These statements fin (I further corroboration in the fact. that none of (“unada’s 14 NATO allies appar- ently cares two pins whether Can- ada acquires nuclear weapons or not. The political rumpus raised by this issue at Ottawa hasn’t created a ripple outside Canada’s boundar- ies. Newspapers in other NATO countries have all but ignored It, and so have NATO publications such as the monthly NATO Letter. As one correspondent has noted, “it would seem that the Canadian ntlc. lear debate is taking place in a domestic vacuum." Liberal Leader Pearson himself . must have doubts about the wisdom of his demand that Canada get on the nuclear bandwagon now. for he has been backtracking on it ever since he made it. Irradiated Lobsters As indicated at the recent an- nual meeting of the Fisheries Re- search Board of Canada, a scientific team of the board is now using radiation equipment in Halifax in an experiment to extend the storage life of refrigerated fisheries pro- ducts. Initially the effect is being studied on iced scallops. Plans are already being made, however, to ex- tend the study to lobsters and other fresh fish products. Scientists view this new ap- proach to fish preservation with optimism. If the experiments prove successful it. will mean that mar- kets thousand of miles from the source of fresh fish supplies can give the consumer a top quality product unaffected by deterioration for a longer period than is now possible. To assess the effect of low doses of ionizing radiation on the storage life of fishery products ati 32 degrees Fahrenheit, an irradiat- ion unit was obtained on loan from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. The products are exposed to a low dose of gamma ray radiation which reduces bacteria without making the products radioactive. Actually, the experiments could be described as a pasteurization program because the bacteria on the fish are being reduced much In the manner of milk pasteurization. For the first experiment, sev- eral lots of fresh scallops were selected, shucked, irradiated and stored at the proper temperature in ice on the same day. Taste panels, chemical and bacteriological tests were performed twice a Week for the first three weeks and once weekly thereafter. The results are described as “encouraging”. With fisheries research moving Illto the atomic field, who knows what Wonderful developments may be achieved within the next few years in food storing as well as processing? Already the prospect of reaching world markets for our fresh Island lobsters may be just around the corner. EDITORIAL NOTE Revenue Minister Hugh John Flemming will be the minister to whom the Atlantic Development Board will report, according to Prime Minister Diefenbaker in re- plying to a query In the House of Commons by Mr. Pickeragill. It Is also reported, we know not on what basis, that Mr. Flemming will suc- ceed to Mr. Davie Fulton’s port- folio of Public Works in the near future.
