MARCH More Delictl Financing Budget :~'pe€Cll(‘.S are, of neces- sity, bcconiing more and more com- plicated. and the task of DI‘eP31’1“F and delivering last night's speech in the Legislature was perhaps U19 most. formidable to be undertaken -by any provincial treasurer in our Island's liistor,\'. Mr. Farmer is to be cnnimciided on the efforts he put forth, particu- larly on the detailed review he gave of federal-provincial relations and of the govci-iinicnt's financial operations over the past "four years. from the start of its first full fiscal year in office. Again we are in for deficit bud- geting. Last year the incrcase in lia- bilities was $3,136,926; for the year ending March 31 this year the fore- cast is for a further increase of $2,897,470 For the coming year the estimate is $2,566,649, which will probably loom larger when the next Public Accounts are tabled and the revised forecast is made. It was maintained by the speaker that despite a present debt of $39,195,723 the province is in a veI'.V solvent position. so much so that only recently it was able to sell a debenture issue at a cost compar- able to the richer provinces. Never- theless. it is a serious burden for a province of our limited resources. and it will be heavier next year. It is creditable. to the Govern- ment that. it has been able to fin- ance out of current revenue so much of our physical assets. This is an investment which will go on paying‘ dividends. But it will be conceded on both sides of the House, we be- lieve. that. unless we get some bet- ter fiscal arrangement with Ottawa, for a more equitable share of fed- eral revenues on the basis of fiscal need. the prospects are by no means reassuring. May Merge Services The Glassm Royal Commission on government. operations warned that the day might be approaching rapidly when the traditional three- service concept which has prevail- ed in Canada's armed forces would have to be abandoned in the inter- ests of economy, efficiency and utility. _It is believed now that this move is just around the corner. and that the government “white paper" on defense, to be made public within ‘ a. few days. will propose that the three services be unified. Defense Minister Hellyer is not satisfied with the piecemeal ap- proach to the problems of integ- ration which, after more than a decade. has achieved the unifica- tion of a few auxiliary services He has before him. it is understood. blueprints for the establishment of a single Canadian defense force under a single commander-in-chief. During the last session. the spec- ial Commons defense committee recommended that the Government give more thought to the possibiliity of unification. and singled out the United States Marine Corps for special mention as a force avail- able for service anywhere which had served with distinction. The plan now reportedly under consid- eration would go much further. It would make Canada unique in the Western world in the combination of its land. no and air arma. According to Artihur Blakely, Xi; Ottawa eonoapondent for the Mont- Ihl Guobto, the armed forces have aimed: ohovn concern over some at llr. Hellylfl aulfet cutbacks In Qtablishments and pm- They may be expected to nova otunldon and mu- - ganizatinii. But the minister-may feel that he has little to lose by siding with the taxpayers on -an issue of this kind. It is l‘(‘(‘<l§I‘lllZe(l that the tradi- tioiial three-.-'ervice concept has meant enormous waste, duplication and overlap in service. supply and headquarters staff. Sweeping changes in the defense structure might make it possible for the Gov- ernment to hold defense expendi- litres close to the present level while getting in l'el.Ll!‘ll a more efficient fiizhling force. with better arms. That is at least 21 good objective to aim at. A Poor Showing We hold no brief for Mr. Guy Pouliot, Quebec separatist leader. who like former Ralliement Leader Marcel Chaput has been forecasting possible danger to Queen Elizabeth should she make a scheduled visit to Quebec this fall. We can under- stand why his line of talk was ob- noxious to the students of Sir George Williams L'niversity. a Mont- real En;:lish-language institution. when he addressed the student body in F‘renc.li on separatist prin- ciples. But the boorish treatment to which he was subjected. and the tearing down of a Quebec fleur-de- lis flag in a student demonstration. was a poor way of showing respect either for Her llajesty or for the traditions of law and order she represents. Mr. Pouliol. it seems. had been invited to speak there. in French. as part of the university's bicul- tural week activities. The respon- sible parties were those who issued the invitation. thus giving him a sounding board for extremist views which indeed have very little to do with biculturalism as the majority of French Canadians interpret it- Similarly. when Dr- Chaput. ad- dressed a serviceclub in Toronto and shocked the nation with his statements on the same subject, it was by invitation that he spoke. His views were known in advance, and there was every reason to ex- pect that he would speak the way he did. These men are fanatics. and will abuse freedom of speech every time they get the chance. But to give them that oppoi-tunit.,v—to hand it to them on a platter. so to speak-—and then to react as though they had committed an outrage on the sensitive feelings of their audi- ences—that seems to us a very silly reaction indeed. If we can't fight separatism with better wea- pons than this, it would be safer to ignore it. Not Very Definite In reply to questions placed on the Commons order paper by Mr. Heath Macquarrie, junior member for Queens, Works Minister Des- chatelets has stated that while plans for a tunnel to serve as part of the Strait. causeway are being consid- ered. and while a lower cost figure is one of the main considerations in the current study of the project, this does not imply that rail traffic will not be provided for. What precisely does this mean? Does it mean that rail traffic WILL be provided for? Not. quite: the statement didn't go that far. It ended on a note of ambiguity-— like Prime Minister Mackenzie King's promise during the war years of “conscription if -necessary, but not necessarily conscription." What we had hoped for from the minister. in view of rumors to the contrary. was a firm assurance that provision for rail traffic will definitely be incorporated in the causeway design. whether it be in connection with tunneling. bridge- work or road building. That the plans. in short. will be based on this essential requirement as well as on the equally necessary provision for vehicular traffic. and that the cost factor. however important in itself, will be secondary to these consid- eratiom. Perhaps this is what the minis- er intended to imply. though he didn't get iound to saying it. In any case, can't we have something more explicit at this stage of the planning program. so that all ‘doubt! may be set at rest? What is needed is a complete progress report on the project to date. which surely we are entitled to after waiting so long and so patiently. y._- LOCKING THE STABLE DOOR ETAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson Parliament's Bcickbench Bachelor Girl Parliament Hill's only back- bench bachelor girl.

PAULINE THE WOMAN Behind these two facets. there is a third —- Pauline Jewett the woman. Among the sombre man- decked benches of the House. a brilliant fl a s h of colour often emanates from the simply-cut. even s h e a t h - like. the 3 sea which she now wears. As a new MP. she wore the rumpled aura of university life: untidy was her cropped thick hair. midway between a Beatle's and a boy's: casual were her clothes: is ciga- rette often between her fingers. But already the informality of the Common Room has given way to the formalityofthe Commons: her blue eyes twin- kle beneath a I id y brunette coiffure. and t h e cigarette s have all but fallen victim to the cancer statistics. Her family home is at Brigh- ton. in the heart of her constit- uency of Northumberland in old Ontario. where a maternal ancestor was among the first white settlers in 1796. Her per- sonality has freer scope perhaps in her own small apartrnenat in Ottawa's heart. There prints of paintings by modern artists re- veal her preference. as do her recordings of music from Bach to jazz. She is a facile dancer. Our Yesterdays (From the Guardian Flleol TWENTY - FIVE YEARS AGO (March 6. 1939) The mainland train arrived in the city two hours late. Most of the delay was caused by ice con- ditions in the Northumberland Strait. The ferry SS Charlotte- trrwn experienced considerable difficulties from heavy ice for- mations. Messrs. D.F. Archibald.

A devouring vproach of totally absorbing one carefully selec te d author at 8 time. "PAULINE FOR PAR IL II A- MENT" That was her election slogan. Six months of parliament have wrought. a subtle change. so that she now admits ‘ I‘l ove every minute of it." She has found a satisfying and useful channel for her critical energy. a nd has won recognition as a leader of the backbench Liberal gin- ger group of leftlsh planners. justly determined to share in the councils of government. ra- ther than merely to vote to order like former Liberal "per- forming seals". Her daily routine is t o u 12 h: long hours on Parliament Hill urlng the five working da y I . with week - ends spent alterna- tely in her constituency and In her Parliament Hill office. One recent Saturday. she told me. the absence of wot-kadsy interrup- tlons enabled her to dictate over 100 letters into her t a pe - recorder — she receives about 85 requests every week. Apart from such individual ‘ help for her voters. she has al- ready brought one big bonanza to Northumberland —a medium security penitentiary to be built near Warkworth. This near-ly went to Peterhur- ough. then was destined for Markdale. Ontario. under the Tory regime. But Miss J e wetl was able to talk it back from Grey C o u II I y into the heart of Northumberland, where it a million - dollar payroll will pro- vide over 200 new year -around jobs. That exemplifies the prac- tical side of politics which the , Northumber I a n d voters no ldoubt. appreciate in their new i l burgeas on Parliament Hill. The U.N. Voleagn China By Harold 0 son Canadian Press Staff Writer The United States is fairly confident. that despite French President de Gaulle's support of Communist China, a motion to seat the Chinese mainland in the United Nations this year would be beaten down. with some votes to spare. This confidence. it is stated. is based on the historical per- formance of the UN. along with . a continuous close examination of the views of in ny of the member countries following dc Gaulle's recognition of the Pe- king government. Yet there is apprehension in American quarters. for the U.S. Is not too sure what de Gnu-lie’; next moves may be. and Paris reports quote his advisers as ' dc Gaulle's intentions UN. but to get. the mainland a seat on the powerful 11-country Security Council. . , chance. this should come about. it could contribute to t wreckage of the UN it- sel m tier that may a be little concern to de Gsulle who long hasbeen a critic of this would body. but of great con- cern to the scores of sma countries who have made the the cornerstone of their foreign policy. FINANCES WEAK Financially. the UN II In an unhealthy sute. - requires periodic financial I.ran.-rfuslons. partly from the U.S. treasury. In fact. it is difficult to see how the UN could function without the American presence. But every time Congress votes mo- ney for the UN there Is anguish by a number of congressmen lwho feel lsupportlng a weak and anti- ; American body. This kind of criticism. with lls threat to US. financial con- tributions. probably would rise sharply if Red China even re- } placed Formosa as one of the ‘five permanent Security Coun- ‘cil members each with veto power. ; As the situation now stands. the U.S. can count on the For- mosan regime for full support in any Security Council vote. The opposite would be true if Red China came i . To protect its own position. the U.S. has made a number of quick calculations. It notes _ that in the 1963 attempt to seat ‘Red China. the‘ vote against was 57-41 with 12 abslentions. There now are 113 members. It would take two-thirds of those voting to seat the Peking group. MORE VOTES NEEDED The US. conclude that even if de Gaulle should get the sup- port of the 14 former French colonies in Africa. there still would not be enough vote! to allow Red China to enter. But the US, also is aware that world opinion In favor of Red China‘: entry is Increasing. By chance. de Gaulle could be the spark to ignite a fire. Other countries may conclude that If do Gsulle can successfully step on American toes and get away with it so can they. This is the problem the 11.8. faces. De Gaulle‘s actions may be the historical turning point that could wreck the shaky foundations on which some of American foreign policy now stands. Suggests Conscription Ever since IDI1 conscription has been regarded as s be d word hi Quebec. R see on the order paper of House of Commons a resolution In the name of Gerald Lanlel. Liberal MP for Benuhernola-Sm laherry. a resolution calling for a year‘: c ry to r y service for Canada‘: young men. This Is not Intended as I ‘move to militarism. but no I method of training. Includu courses In trades and various forms of specialization. It would also be Intended to promote IIcuItural- lam. fight delinquency and re- duce u It. Mr. Lanlel pointed out th at countries which have compul- Ind lntereatfng to find his authorities for this The suggestion is an Interest- ing one. though its chances of realization are small. There Is a defhilu advantage In having young people from var I o u 3 groups In the country servo toge- ther. They are likely to discover : good many points In common, and night find Iomethln more stimulating than separatism. It might also heb foster th e Idea that the citinen owes some- thlrutouieatatefntlte way of service and that the nation Is not merely something to lean on In time of emergency. ‘ blind because the lens is from constituents ; the U.S. merely Is‘ Of Cataract By Dr. Theodore R. Vnnbellen Most cataracts develop in the elderly. but this does not mean younger persons are im- mune. Babies have b e e n born t o o cloudy for adequate vision. The mothers of these Infants usua- ‘lly had an attack of Germ a II measles during the first th rec months of pregnancy. In others. cataracts occur be- fore age 60 because of an Inher- ent weakness of the lens. Inherl led from one generation to uno- ther. Degeneration ‘comes ,.dn more rapidly than usual under stress conditions such a poor health. overexpoaure to lght. or malnutrition. 1' 0 _ Injury is another cause when 9 capsule surrounding th e lens ls punctured. Thll Illowa the fluid of the eyes to come into contact with the Khan that make up the lens. A direct blow to the eye may induce cataract. and changes In opacity are notic- ed within a few hours after the accident. A foreign body. such as a small piece of a t eel that lodges In the lens. may do the same. The lens may congeal when the lndlvidualls exposed to high - voltaige electricity. A hot. dry cli m a te is ano- plain why glass blowers are more susceptible. Intense light. including ultraviolet. is a com- mon offender. which is why dark glasses are worn during welding and sunlight treat- ments. Cataracts may follow poison- ing by certain chemicals such as naphthalene. thallium. and dinitrophenol. The latter was used several years ago as a weight reducer. A more rec enl culprit is MER-29. a product that lowers the level of choleste- rol ln the blood. It has been re- moved from the market. Glandular disorders may play ‘a role. as in diabetes and cre- I tinism. The cause of the senile I variety of cataract is n of ! known. but the ;zona d 3 may be I involved because they become j less active at the time when the eye disturbances begin. EXERCISE WON'T HELP D. H. writes: Are there a ny exercises that will help vari- cose veins‘? No. except for a hike to y our physician's office. Elastic ban- dages snd stockings offer temp- orary relief. Corrcctive sur- gery is the best remedy. alth- ough small varicositics can be eliminated via the inje c I i o n treatment.
