The present agreement has been a bitter disappointitteiit to our tav- payers and to our Proviitcial (inverti- ment as well. and has already re- sulted in the imposition of In addi- tional .1 cent Ezasoline tax and an anticipated deficit of over two mil- lion dollars for the current year. We barely succeeded in getting our fed- eral payments pegged at the amount received last year under the old ggreemcltl, and we must pay lmrk. in monthly deductions unprovided for in our budget. well over A million dollars diirirtz the next five years. leaving us with ttothirt: hut the pro. spect of further stai.:i:et'imz deficits and more tax increases from year to year. in n utionrli this week at tlwcn Sound the Prime Minister. spcakltll: on the tax agreements. explained that Ottawa bad lrest responsibil- ities to all the Provinces and that there could be no unity iitilcss all Canadians. wherever they lived. felt they were getting fair treatment. Mr. Harris. in his budget speech on March 14. made; the same point. stressing the fact that the wealthier Provinces-notably Ontario-derive their incomes in considerable part. directly or indirectly. from consum- gr-g pnd producers in other parts of Canada. He said also that for the sight Protinces participating in the present tax agreements. the new scale of payments in 1957-53 ar- ggtimated to be -940 million. "txltir,-.h is 3-l0'mlllion. or 20 per cent. above the 1956-57 scale of pnymml!-" Y"- Is noted above. we in Prince Edward island have barely been able to ob- tain. a floor equivalent to last year's payments. which fall short by over three million dollars of the amnunl we pgqulrq to maintain a minimum ptandard of public services no in non- deficit basis. The figure sivvn hr the Government of this Province in Its brief presented It the Dominion-Prm vincigi Conference in October. 1955- was for an Increase of .'l'-3.70fl.tl00 umually. based on our urgent tiscal needs.

By begging the question we mean arguing-as some candidates in the campaign have been doin;:-- that we are really gcttinc more than we are entitled to on the basis of our per capita contribution to the fedoral treasury. Such a basis is utterly foreign to the principle of tax sharing: agreements, as the Finance Minister pointed out himself in his budget speech. and as the Prime Minister is now doing In his Ontario rampaiizn We shall surely not hear that old alibi from Mr. Harris to- night! We hope. and expect. that he will have something much more con- structive to offer. ' We have before its the pledge of tho ('(ifi::t"i'ialli'P leader. Mr. Diefen- hakcr. that his party. if elected. will call an immediate conference to re- allntwilc l;u i'm'0nllP fields.

The Nuclear Tests llarnld Steele, a 53-year-old Bril- isli pt-t4'ifi.sl. has left for the Christ- iti.-ts island :it'o;t ttlici-c---tliouizh hr niissoci the first nuclear e.x'plosion-'-- he plans to expose himself" to the ha7ards of other nuclear tests sche- diilcd for nevi month. in order "to prove to the world the horror of this detilish thing". He must be admired for his courage - if that is the right word for it. it is difficult. however. in say as much for his judgement. To begin with, he cannot expect that his rash action will have any effect on the British decision to go ahead with the tests. seeing that so many well organized protests have failed in that obiective. For another thing. his contemplated sacrifice-heroic though it may be will not "prove" anything that is not already well known. There is something mystifying about. the current. uproar against Flritainls decision to test I H-bomb. The United States and the Soviet llninn have been doing the some thing for several years and. ap- parently. on I much larger scale than that which is planned for Christmas island. Yet. on none of those occasions was there any wide- spread expression of alarm. It surely cannot be claimed that one more explosion uill make the danger to that tvnridi: health mtich worse than it is already. What then in the reason behind the present hue and i-r3-7 Does it signify a fear that the Rriiish test will involve It more terrible weapon than any that has yet been devised” Perhaps. Sooner or later there will have to be an end to nuclear tests. The survival of the human race will make that mandatory. But until some sstlsfar-toryintiemational agreement can be reached. Britain cannot afford to in: behind the. other great powers in nuclear re- search. And no nation in the world. large or mail. has done more or worked harder to bring 'lbO1ll It settlement of international problems.
