PAGE 4 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1966 —— What Can It Mean? While, as Premier Campbell says, our Island hopes have been shattered by the new equalization formula pro- posed by the Pearson government at the tax conference at Ottawa this week, he must be grieving as. well at the apparent indifference of Liberal governments in the other Atlantic provinces to the treatment we have been accorded. Premier Smallwood, though he didn’t bother to attend the conference, has expressed ‘com- plete satisfaction” with the propos- als, while Mr: DesBrisay, finance and industry. minister in the Robichaud government-of New Brunswick says they constitute “a giant step in help- ing all Canadians to benefit from reasonable health, education and wel- fare services.” It would ‘seem that if we are going to fight for our rights in this matter, we shall have to do it alone. ~ —e It looks, indeed, like a concerted effort to ignore our existence as a partner in Confederation. And how account for the assurance Finance — Minister Sharp gave in. his policy statement on Tuesday night, as the— conference was about to open? The Canadian Press quoted him as saying that the poorer provinces would get ' an extra $140,000,000 this year under his revamped formula. This represented a “fundamental reform” of equalization payments needed to’ redistribute wealth between the have and have-not provitices: Payments would vary automatically from year to year in line with each province's total_revenues, tax rates and popu- lation, but the -basic concept -of fis- cal need would prevail. The underlying principle, Sharp emphasized, was that’ Ottawa should enable each province to pro- v vide adequate public services with-. out having to impose taxes substan- tially higher than those in other prov- inces. The new formula would not be like those Atlantic adjustment _ grants which the Viefenbaker gov- ernment introduced and which have been our sheet-anchor in recent “~“years—-fio, these were to be abolish- - ed as obsolete and would be replaced — By a formula which woult~ yield “steadily-rising payments” to poorer provinces when Canadian production and income levels climb. It sounded fine. Premier Camp- bell must have figured that the extra $7.900.000 he needs to implement his election pledges was practically in the bag. Then came the rude awaken- ing' Not even the wretched $400.000 increase he thought was being offer- ° ed to‘us at first, but a beggarly figure, pared: down to half that amount. : It is hard to figure out this treat- ment on any reasonable basis. Back To Tenant Farming What has been hailed as a bold ‘new departure-has been launched in. Soviet Russia. It would amount to a new kind of state socialist tenant “system, and be a big step. forward toward restoring a personal relation- ship between’ the farmer and the | land For the time being the experi- ment, under which “each field is to have its own hushandman,” is limit-* | -ed to the huge Trud state farm in ‘Volgograd (formerly Staling rad) Province. In the past, according to‘a Soviet spress correspondent, each tract of ‘land had many “masters” and no one -was fully responsible. One group did -the plowing, another one the sowing, -ta third one -tendedthe~ fields; “a _fourth group was in charge of har- “vesting. People were shifted around, -and no one: had a personal relation- iship to the land. i During his last two years in office ‘former Premier Khruschev often “spoke of a “depersonalization of : farm work '. . The peasant does not “love the land any more,” he com- plained. He came up with a proposal of one-man. responsibility for the land, which, however, he never im- plemented before ‘his ‘fall. Then, in August of. last vear, experiments began in this direction. An agronomist. V. Zhulin, sug- gested that half a dozen peasants or farm workers should be entrusted with a piece of “socialist” farmland for 20 or 30 years. These small ten-. ant cooperatives were to be strictly voluntary. The experiment remained limited to a few farms. in west Si- beria. It smacked of.a return to small peasant farming and seems to .have mét with party opposition. Under the new system tried out in Volgo- grad Province. 10 ‘“mechanizers” have been entrusted with about 1,000 acres each. A “mechanizer” is the man responsible for. tractors, harves- ters, combines. etc.—in other words, ‘a highly qualified farm mechanic. Each is to be continuously in charge of the same 1,000. acres. As his har- | vest increases, his ‘earnings are to | go up. Hie |. As the ‘Soviets see it. the state } farm retains exclusive and full own- | ership of the land. but the job of the | mechanizer is arranged in such a way | that each one works only on the ' acres entrusted to him. The harvest + belongs to the state farm, but each mechanizer is paid in proportion to what he brings in. Officially the ‘~system is ‘called a new division of ‘ labor. But_if the state farm lives up “to its commitment. this is merely a theorétical device to avoid the ap-— pearance of a redistribution of land or of the revival of individual farm- ing. It wouldn't do, of course. for the _Soviet top brass to.admit. that it ts restoring # System it spent so much _ of its revolutionarv fervor in wiping Ge. ee as _ Never-Ending Battle. Another warning has been sound- ed on the subject of pollution control. Many municipalities now have, or are planning, sewage treatment meas- ures. This aspect of the problem is ' at last receiving attention. But sew- age, it turns out;-is among the least. of the pollutants. There are others much harder to control because they | Yesult from so many diverse sources. Senator: Edmund Muskie, of Maine, told a recent International Water Supply symposium that a whole new Mr. .-80 per cent of the Canada’s cost would be proportionate. breed of dangerous and hard-to-trace— pollutants are building up. ~These include fertilizers, herbl- cides, fungicides, irrigation residues, detergents, radioactive wastes, and +~road salts. Some idea of the magni- tude of the problem was given by Senator Muskie’s estimate that in the United States by 1972 it will cost a minimum of $20,000. million to pro- vide secondary treatment systems for population. One factor stressed by the speak- - er, who is chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on: Air and Water Pol- lution, is that while the water pol- lution problem is shared by the U.S. __and_Canada,. the. International Joint have relied for half a century. has authority only to recommend abate- ment measures; it lacks the enforce- ment legislation it must. have. A measure to give the IJC these powers has been passed by the U-S. Senate. Similar action. must come from’Ottawa if the war on pollution is ever to be won. Such Language! China has denounced Canada, Britain dnd India as vicious. scound- rels serving the United States in the- Viet Nam war. Urged by the United ’ States, says the Chinese Communist Party paper People’s Daily, the Brit- ish government and the Indian and Canadian members.of the Interna- tional Control Commission in Laos have put forward an “absolute lie” about the presence of North Viet- namese troops in Laos, the purpose being to create a pretext for troops of “U.S. imperialism and its lackeys” to expand the war in Indo-China. | Having. thus degenerated into Yankee: tools, these powers have lost “all right to carry on any legal activ- ity.” That’s pretty severe. But by com- parison it’s neighborly chit-chat to - what the Same Chinese Communist paper is saying about its former pals, | the Soviet leaders. .These ‘termites | of the working class and scum in the revolutionary ranks,’ as it calls | it would seem. They are, among other things. a ‘bunch :of scabs,” “renegades” and ‘‘the No. 1 accomp- lice of murderous robbers.” After that, it comes. as something of an anticlimax to read that China will “never take united action with them.” One would have _ thought, from the buildup. that a declaration ; Of war was being prepared! ‘The Liberal government = is seeking a-whipping boy to blame fer the récent record inflation and the imminent bigger price _boosts. These are. not unreas- onably, being attributed in part to Liberal policies. This chosen whipping boy 1!s advertising Liberal speakers pressed this argument during last week's debate on inflation. Their general theme was that advertising is responsible for in- flation, because it exercises a compulsion on Canadians to buy to things we don't really need—thus boosting demand and incidentally forcing us into debt. This doctrine was first ex- pounded by’ Prime Minister Pearson's former™policy plan- ner, a-mystery man new to Parliament. Hill named Kent. At “ Commission on which the two nations ° the.Liberal party's ‘thinkers conférence” at Kingston in 1960, Kent delivered his advocacy that the. Liberals move far to the ‘left into the penumbra of so- ~cialism. j BIG BROTHER SCOLDS YOU In: part he said: ‘Business is now engaged in a gigantic effort | to tell the community what to want. In the process it gives every, possible encouragement to inflationary forces generally. By .stimulatmg ‘‘unimportant wants", business increases the reluctance of people to satisfy their far more important col- lective wants, for schools and the rest." This is a crime in the eyes of the new left wing: that any Can- adian would- sooner spend his money on articles of his choice, rather than pay it in taxes to the government which could -thus afford bigger statism. “Kent's suggested’ remedy for this was that all advertising should be taxed; or more exact- ly, that advertising and mer. chandising expenditures by busi- mess should not be allowed as deductible expenses when cal- culating income tax payable. “If we did reduce advertis- ing,’’ Kent disarmngly revealed “it would thereby become eas- fer to raise existing taxes on consumption "' In other words, if-Johnny Canuck was not en- couraged by advertising to spend his money on meeting his “unimportant wants’’, he would have more money available to Pay even higher tax bills—woth- out being forced into, starvation. This theme was developed ‘by Liberal MPs in. last week's de- bate. Steve Otto, of Tor onto, said: ‘‘Today the consumer does ‘not exercise his own demand as to how he wili spend his earn- ings and what goods he will buy. The supplier controls the demand through the powerful medium of advertising, using psychological promotion, televis- ion and every conceivable emo.

They can be extreme- ly painful but more often are “plain aggravating.” The in- flamed membrane itches, the discharge is messy, and there may be aching, soreness, and a feeling of fullness. The canal is a blind alley Infection of the canal (external otitis) usually follows an injury especially when the lining mem- brane is scratched or weakened. Many persons unconsciously ‘rub or scratch the part with a fing- ernail; others attack it with a paper clip, hair pin, or toothpick. Now and then, itching and ooz- nail polish, wave set lotion, nic- kel or plastic spectacle frames. or feather pillows. External] otitis may be caused such as staphylococci, pyocya- neus or streptococci; are more common offenders in temperate zonds; whereas fungi are found most often among those living in the tropics. Swimmer'’s ear, a form of external otitis, occurs to individuals who get contamin- ated water in the ear. The wax in the ear absorbs water which in turn macerates the skin of the canal and paves the way for bacterial invasion : In the acute form of the dis-. the canal is swollen and may be so tender to the touch that the physician cannot exam- ine the inflamed area. In chron- ie external otitis, itchiness’ rath- er than pain. is-the most com- mon manifestation.
