Much Leii Unexplained If there has been misunderstand- ing with regard to Attorney General Farmer‘s attitude in the matter of the Queens County Jail, we doubt if his explanation in today‘s Public ~ Forum columns will do much to rev move it. We all know that the jail is overcrowded—grand juries hsv e been complaining of this for years past—end that the Government is hoping. eventually, to have a federal institution take care of prisoners serving sentences of six months or more. We know, too, that many at present in the jail, or roaming the streets waiting their tllrn to serve time, have been convicted on charges of drunkenness. Many of us. too. sharn in the Attorney General's concern for these unfortunate people, and would like to see some better provision made for them. No doubt the magis- trate who sentenced them to jail is equally convinced that the system is a poor one and could be improved upon. In the meantime. however. the Government hasn’t done so and he has to comply with the law by imposing the sentences he deal. And the Attorney General. as chief law enforcement officer. is equally obligated to see that the sentences of the court are carried out. Mr. Farmer repeatedly refers to this enactment as a civic bylaw, which he says is "evidently not having its desired effect." He ig- nores the fact that the same of— fense is punishable in the lame manner under a provincial statute. Iii he not sworn to enforce all the laws of the Province? Or is it part of his duty to pick and choose among persons who have been sen— tenced to confinement, decide who shall go to iail and who is to go free until called upon? This is usurpation of the court's authority. and it seems to us to be quite un- warranted. One thing. surely, the situation Calls for. That is immediate action In placing the overflow of jail prisoners in other quarters where they can be confined until the over- crowded condition there is remedied. We gather from the Attorney Gen— Pral's letter that he sees no neces- sity for doing this: in which case we can only express. again. our regret at his incredible complacency. Coslly Strike Ended The settlement of the longshore- men's strike at three St Lawrence River ports on Saturday, after ten days of costly idleness, came as e welcome prelude to Thanksgiving. and as an additional reason for ob. serving the anniversary in the proper spirit. The strike ended when the last of five local unions decided to accept settlement terms worked ‘ out by the federal mediator, Judge Rene Lippe. to whom much cruiit is due. The strike is said to have cost $2.000.000 e day in Montreal alone. where 80 ships stood waiting in the harbor or river anchorages to be serviced. In Quebec City 17 Ihipe were queued up. and there was a long waiting lone at Trois-Rivleres as well. Now there is e feverish rush to clur the bookings of cargo at these ports, particularly the movement of 00,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat to Russia. The rush will continue until the end of the phan moon, sometime in No- this! Prime Kiln-terle mela- “mum-avowe- Wmmbunvindioehd. LN curl: mum for mpuleory methods that would have been “premature and therefore ineffective." But it was touch and go, for national interests were at stake here which would have neces- Iitated such action had Judge Lippe's arbiiralion efforts failed. Mr. Pear- son had intimated as much on Fri- day. when he seemed anything but hopeful of the outcome. Another event over the weekend has given cause for satisfaction. This “as the (to—operative spirit shown in the House of Commons by members of all parties, in pushing through legislation on the federal trilsteeship of five marine unions. Ry sitting nearly four and a half hours longer than usual. the House put the measure through all its stages—a commendable example of unity In the teeth of unwarranted United States interference in this domestic issue. The significance of this action. it is to be hoped, will not be lost sight of at Washington. U.S. Subsidy Backfire: Judging from the shocked ro- uctions of certain congTossmen. one would think that Canada had be- trayed the United States in sign- ing s new wheat deal with Russia. New Washington is going to do likewise; but if there are special difficulties in the way, American policy-makers have themselves to blame. Oils would think that if there is any nation in the World whose pro— duction and scientific techniques should make it competitive it is the United States. Yet not so in this use. A combination of cold-war ex« port policies and a costly domestic subsidy system has held down the sale of ['.S. wheat for dollars. Dur- ing the 1962 crop year the country exported 637 million bushels of wheat, but of this only 155 million bushels was sold for hard currencies. For the rest. the U.S. government either accepted soft currencies, or donated the wheat under the Food- for-Peace Program with the U.S. farmer reimbursed up to full price supports out of the federal treasury. Now President Kennedy has authorized the sale of wheat to the Soviet Union. just as Canada and Australia have done. But opponents of the idea are preparing a last ditch fight against the "subsidize. tion" of the Russian economy at U.S. expense. Dealing with this subject. the London Free Press nrltes that it is still the 125. farmer who is being subsidized. sometimes to his detri- ment. The Russians, if they buy wheat from the US. at all. wollld l’iil_\' at the world price for the grades available. If the U.S. euba sidv holds the price to the producer well above the world level that is no concern of the importer nations. U.S. farm organizations believe the remedy may lie in changes in their grading system. It is hoped. however. that such a revision does not lead to the dumping of more low-grade grain on the world mar- ket lit bargain prices. But the greatest offender in this instance is the hamstringing subsidy system. Preserving Wild Lile Word comes {mm the Winnipeg Free Press of a pilot project to save duck-breeding grounds in Weston Canada, which Will be noted with appreciation by conservationists evelywhere. The Canadian prairies are the greatest duck—producing area on this continent. But with the spread of agriculture. many prairie slough; and potholes—the ducks‘ nesting grounds—have been wiped out, This has led to a steady decrease in the number of birds. To preserve those breeding areas that are left. the Federal Govern- ment intends to enter into agree- ments with farmers whereby the farmer will be paid by the Govern- ment for leaving sloughs and pot- holes on his land in their natural state. The pilot project involves eleven owners of farms slong the Saskatchewan-Manitoba boundary and covers more than a thousand acres. The farm owners will receive $14,000. and for this they promise not to drain or fill the land or burn over the vegetation on it. This is a project, says the Free Press. that should be extended as rapidly as feasible. Agriculture is imporhnt to this country but no II the preservation of our wild life. The present program see-ills e eul- Iible way of making sure that there will be ducks in use "on geome- ONWARD AND UPWARD W Needed In Canada -— A Political Elite s'ow um members of Pal-lil- ment Er? getting so much more money than before. perhaps a political elite may be developed in Lhis country.
