Who would have imagined, for example, the former leader of the Opposition saying. dllring the lasL hectic session of Parliament. or at any time during the election cam- paign. that, if elected he would st rive to continue——and, “if pos— siblc," cxpandv—t he work of the Conservative government in the field of defense and production- sharing—a program which meant more.than $100,000.000 annually in U.S. defense contracts for Canadian firms in recent years? Yet this was the course he laid down for his gov- ernment in a talk with newsmen at Ottawa before taking off on his cur- rent visit, to England. Who would have imagined him, prior to the election, telling a group of Canadian senior civil servants that he was "glad to acknowledge the achievements" of the Diefen- baker government in the matter of trade promotion, and that his own government would be “happy to carry on" the movement? This Is another excerpt from Mr. Pearson's remarks before leaving Ottawa this ' week. His words were received with applause, atld deservedly so. But. they just go to show the difference, on which we commented recently In another context, between the per- spective one gets in being on the Inside looking out, and in being on the outside looking in. Mr. Pearson now sees, and frankly concedes, good points in the Conservative record which he hopes to emulate. is not surpass. It is to his credit that he has conceded them so promptly. There is no point l‘ll complaining that he should have seen them before, since it was not, his business to do so. His role in Opposition was to criticise. He will not, of course. have reason to com- plain il' lhe same tactics are em- ployed against his own administra- tive. record. In the meantime. how- ever, the general public will wish him well in his endeavor to heal old political WOllndS, and start on a more equitable basis in assessing national policies than it was feasible ‘Eo do when appealing for votes. Those Slow Britishers In October each year the comp- troller and solicitor to the City of London Corporation goes to the law , courts with a bag of six horseshoes and 61 nails.

Such oddities go hand. in hand with a remarkable aptitude for keeping abreast of the times. One shouldn't. need to be reminded that Britain gave the world the steam engine, and created the industrial revolution which has had impact all round the world. More recently British inventive genius has been responsible. in large part, for penicil- lin. television, radar, the jet engine, to name but a few modern develop- ments. Now—to offset the need for trained instrumors—British educa- tionists are g i v i n g increasing thought to stepping up the use of mechanical aids in teaching. Re- search training and its educational possibilities has already been conducted by the universities of Aberdeen and Sheffield; and in the House of Commons the other into robot day it was predicted that this method would become “one of the foremost weapons in our task to which we are Committed, namely, the modernization of Britain.” Meanwhile, let’s hope that. in their zeal for modernization the re— formers will leave untouched the Old customs. which are still delight- fully with the country as it moves bravely into the future. Quebec Tax Demands According to the Montreal Gazette, a federal-provincial confer- ence is likely to be held this year to explore the troubled fiscal rela- tions between Ottawa and the prov- inces. “Troubled” is the word. All provincial governments have made it clear that they would like a larger share of the nation’s tax revenues, but Quebec has made some startling demands that have pushed other claims into the background. Just before the April 8 election Premier Lesage served blunt. notice that Quebec’s “minimum demands” were exclusive occupancy of 25 per cent of the personal income and corporation fields, and 100 per cent of succession duties. These conces- sions would have to be made avail- able to the governments of the other provinces; and quite apart from the deficit budgetary position in which the new Federal government finds itself. there is the gravest doubt that it could afford to surrender the many hundreds of millions of dollars involved, and still carry out its federal responsibilities. Mr. Pearson has promised, how- ever, to provide what is termed “full equalization” of provincial revenues from the direct taxes shared with Ottawa. He has also promised—with an eye to Quebec ——to provide financial compensation to provinces which wish to contract out, of any new federal provincial joint. program. He has said that his government will, if the provinces wish, withdraw from joint programs that are well established—such as old age assistance and pensions for the blind and disabled. In with- drawing, Ottawa would compensate the provinces for their share of the cost by lowering its own direct taxa- tion and increasing its equalization payments. At no tinIe have the federal Liberals contemplated a retreat from the direct tax fields on such a massive scale as the Quebec gov- ernment is now demanding. But Mr. Pearson will have to cope with this demand, which Premier Lesage says he intends to press “unflinchingly”. Also deeply inVolved will be Hon. Maurice Lamontagne, president of the Privy Council, and designated as the federal cabinet: minister dir- ectly responsible for federal-provin— cial relations. EDITORIAL NOTES This evening the Prime Minister and Mrs. Pearson are dining with Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle, where they will stay until tomorrow morning. It will be a high-water mark in their London visit, and we venture to say that they have with them the very best wishes of Canadians of all political views. 0 O The biggest gas oven in Swit- zerland has just, been installed in the kitchens of the Swiss Industries Fair in Basle.
