MAY 1, isfii Welcome Decision The Atlantic and Western Pro- ‘ vinces which have been fighting freight rate increases for years have won a substantial victory in the Federal Governm_ent’s decision to V refuse a 3.6 per cent increase to the . railroads. Along with the Govern- ment ruling will go instruction to the Transport Board to disregard in future payments into tax equaliz- ation reserve funds as expenses in I determining rates. This is very im- ' portant. It will no doubt be adopted by all public utility boards and be- come standard practice in Canada. In the United States the Inter- state Commerce Commission which regulates railways, refuses to allow the railways to increase their rates in order to take advantage of this ii ,. depreciation provision. But the Fed- . eral Power Commission does per- mit power utilities to do so, In Can- ada, the tendency has been to permit utilities to profit from the change at the expense of the rate-paying public; but the Alberta utility au- thority has recently reversed this practice in a gas case. In 1957, when the C.P.R. added $9.5 millions to its depreciation re- serve, the Transport Board allowed a 3.6 per cent increase in freight rates to meet a. deficiency of $3.3 millions. The argument of the eight objecting Provinces was that no public utility whose fixed charges are assured by public regulatory bodies should be permitted to ‘ac- cumulate interest' free capital in this way. And the Board itself seems to have had grave doubts as to the justice of_ its ‘ruling. In its judgment of Dec. 21, 1957, granting the increase, and in the Bell Tele- phone judgment of Jan. 10, 1958. granting an increase in telephone rates-—which also has been disallow- cd ‘by the Cabine't—-this issueywas discussed *at length. According to Mr. Grant Dexter, writing in the Winnipeg Free Press, I the Board virtually asked for an appeal to the Federal Cabinet so that a final de- cision would bc made. Be that as it may, the-Cabinet has now 03- cided; and in doing so it has come‘ down heavily in favour of the Pro- vinces against undue freight rate boosts. I A Childish Approach It sometimes seems as though the diplomats who make up the membership of .the United Nations’ Security Council behave like, child- ren sitting in the market place and calling unto their fellows: “We have piped into you and you have not danced, we have mourned -unto you and you have not lamented.” Take recent developments, for example. The Russian delegates in- troduced a resolution calling on the United States to stop sending planes loaded with nuclear bombs in the direction of the Soviet Union. From the start this resolution had not the slightest chance of receiving majority support; since, of course, the Western powers and their al- lies have the upperhainicl in the Security Council. Then, the United States introduced a proposal call- ing for “open-skies” inspection in the Arctic regions. This, undoubted- ly, will have majority support, for it has already been sanctioned by the. Western powers in general and tacitly approved in the U.N. Gener- al Assembly. It is unlikely to be. come law, however, for the simple 132183; that_the Soviet Union will United c§Ilta.aim1y W0 ‘ta Just 35 the the Russianes would have Yetoed ceived the suplolmsal’ had It re’ . DD0It of the Council. This leaves matters where they were at the beginning of the con. tr°V°l‘5Y- Delegatbs must have known about all this before the de- I bate began. Yet they persisted in Spending time and energy in support- ing causes which were lost even be- fore they were placed on the agenda. It's all very puerile—as noted above, like children sitting in the market place—or, more literally, “among the bazaars." A Landmark Gone The loss of the Char10lt€l0W1’l Market Building is a heavy On‘? to all concerned, for the building 591" ved many purposes and» was a fam- iliar landmark to everyone visiting the city over the past half century. Remodelled in recent years to pro- vide accommodation for the Travel Bureau, the I.M.T. bus terminal and as a civic centre, it provided for facilities which will now have to be accommodated elsewhere. Coming on the eve of the tourist season, the loss of Travel Bureau literature, files and office equipment is par- ticularly unfortunate. ' No doubt full consideration will be given by the civic authorities to the matter of rebuilding. The old- time provision for market facilities is not now the problem it used to be, but there is no question as to the need for a modern civic centre. If such a building were to include an auditorium suitable for con- certs and stage productions-we have none at all comparable to the old Opera House in this respect- and perhaps. the long-talked-of Pro- vincial Museum and Art Gallery as well, it would be an invaluable as- set ,to: the community. Built along these lines, it might be possible to obtain substantial assistance from the Canada Council in its construc- tion. The idea, at any rate, is worth exploring. Not Enough! “It is not enough to point out, which is perfectly true, that the Soviet Union conveniently waited until it completed its most intensive series of nuclear tests before an- nouncing its decision to stop the tests. It is not enough to say this, because_ there was no reason why the United State should not have announced it’ was calling a halt after the completion of its own recent tests. A halt must. be made some- where. It is not enough to protest -that the Soviet is making a cheap It is not, .bid for world support. enough, because the world’s people are not stupid. They are aware of ‘ the spurious aspects of the Soviet bid. They have not forgotten the monstrous outrage of the Soviet violence in Hungary. But they are also aware that the United States has not come to life on this issue, of of nuclear testing.,They are not blind to the fact that we have shown neither imagination nor sensitivity in our approach to this question. There is no point in fooling oursel- vcs,”—Norman Cousins, Editor, Sat- urday Review.

That resolution declared: “This convention believes that the im- perative need of the Canadian political scene today is the crea- politlcal force . . . a broadly based people's political move- ment which embraces the C.C. F., the labour movement. farm professional peo- ple and other liberally-minded persons interested in basic social -1‘ e f o r m and reconstruction through our parliamentary sys- tem of government". On the floor of the convention. different reactions were a dime a dozen. And here in Winnipeg, mixed-up kid. Mixed-up of all was undoubtedly that formerly never-mixed-up Liberal news-' paper which makes its home here. Astonished delegates and observers at the convention saw flamboyant‘ headlines on a huge pile of the “Winnipeg Free Press" on sale in the lobby: “Nation in a flap over new Party”. Sub-headings, equally mixed-up, told us in the same wide’-eyed breathlessness: “C. C. F. hails it”, but “Death knell for the C.C,F.” Comment In the convention hall centred around the question whether we were seeing more importantly the ‘birth of a new party, or the death of an old one. For an all sides, it was agreed that socialism is a legitimate political creed, with its chief aim set as nationalisation of key industries. Contrarlly, free en- terprise is a legitimate political. faith, and til: is substantially supported in Canada today under the banner of the Conservative Party. , FORECAST LONG AGO The Welfare State is inherent In that Christian democracy which is practised by every res- ponsible political party in free countries today, so the principal of social security does not enter into the realm of political con- troversy. On all sides here, comment snmed to agree that there would be no room on our political stage for the Liberal Party. between the Diefenbaker Party of New- Conservatism and the expected new “Social Democrat Party". This is a situation long predic- lElecironic Fishing Stanley Burke in the Ottawa Citizen UNITED NATIONS .— The har-. vest of the sea is being reaped with sea-going vacuum- cleaners and electric Pied Pipers. Soon fishboats will be powered with a- tomic energy. So. say the men of the Food and Agricultural Organization who add that the sea, which cov- ers seven- tenths of the world’s surface, has only begun to be util- ized as a source of food for a hungry world. FAO officials say that electri- cal fishlng equipment is now be- ginning to be used commercial- ly and they have high hopes for the future. Equipment varies from harpoons to electrocute whales to electric signals to dir- ect underwater traffic. Electric mercially to take the fight out of big fish like tuna. Electrodes are used to attract fish into trawls. LAMPREY DESTROYED ~ Electric gear can also be used to extermine unwanted fish. The dread lamprey of the Great Lakes the vicious parasite which ‘at- tacks swimmers and destroys sport fish, is being killed off by electric barriers which kill them when they enter small streams to spawn. Underwater tr a f f I c signals reason, fish are attracted by a positive electrode and repelled ‘ This discovery might be worth millions, even bil- lions, to Canada because there’s a‘ possibility that i-t offers a solu- tion to the dilemma of electri- fication of Western rivers. Devel- opment on the Fraser and other potential hydro rivers is being held u-p because dams would kill off the salmon. Electric traffic control equipment could be the answer. PROBLEM The problem is to get young, fish, coming down river from the‘; spawning grounds to the sea, safc- g ly aorund the dams. To divert them into by-passes some way must be found to prevent theml going through the turbines or be-I ing dashed to death in the spill- ways. Electric devices may be the answer although FAO men say so far they haven't been suc- cessful. Incidentally, there’s no prob- 1cm in getting the adult fish up over the dams. They go up and over in fish ladders. Canada’s former Fisheries Min- lster James Sinclair, who toured Russia three years ago, said that the Russians are working hard on electrical fishing gear. He said that, for example, they use neg- ative electrodes to force salmon Into traps. Inside the trap a posi- tive electrode exerts a fatal fascination which draws the fish toward a giant suction hose. T0 CANNERY This pumps fish to the cannery where they arrive. still flipping and in perfect condition. Using these methods, two or three Rus- sian fishermen take as many fish as several hundred Canadian fish- ermen would take operating in boats. In addivtionthe Russians are able to maintain complete control of the number of fish which will be permitted to escape and go upstream to breed. The Russians are also working on another device even more in- genious than the electric salmon sucker. This ‘is a seagoing va- cuum cleaner which attracts fish with powerful lights hung over the side of the ship. When enough- starry- eyed fish have been at- tracted by the electric Pied Pip- er, a suction pump is lowered in- to the water and the fish va- cuumed into the processing plants inside the ship. Electrodes are al- so used to attract fish to the va- cuum cleaners. LARGEST SHIPS The Russians operate the larg- est fishing vessels in the world. These ships look like small sleek passenger liners and are used to ted in this column: the regroup ing of our national political ele- ments, to eliminate splinters and duplication, and to create strong parties representing “free enterprise” and “socialism” res- pectively. , BACK TO THE FOLD Rural Quebec has always been essentially conservative in its thinking.

Th ey predicted for a political party which attempted to straddle t‘-0 national road, from the right fninge of Conservatism to near the left edge of the C.C.F. A combination of circumstan- ces has worked and will work in the near future to bring about this anticipated kaleidoscoping of our national political scene. But still, this has not thrown the nation into any “flap". Observers here have been sug- gesting that the next four years will see the fall of all four west- ern provincial governments; the complete disappearance of Social Credit as a legislative force; the alignment of the leftward , one- third of the Liberal group with the newly-named “Social Demo crat” party: and the growing adherence of the rural vote, the Youngucanadian vote, and the New Canadian vote to the Con- servative Party. both catch and process‘ fish. The U.N. fishermen say that such ships are mere dinghies in comuparisonlwith what's to come. Jan-Olaf Traung, chief naval ar- chitect cf FAO, predicts that fish- ing vessels will be powered with atomic energy before many years have passed. But, with the fishing season at hand, the average Canadian sport fisherman is likely to ask: “What’s in it for me? What are the scientific boffins doing to help me?” Well, the scientists don’t seem to be doing a great deal as far as I can find out.‘ When they go out for a Sunday afternoon’s re- laxation on the water, the scient- ists seem content to flick a Roy-al Coachman, or spin a Diamond No. 3 in the -old-fashioned way. How- ever, there are a number of por- table electric fish killers on the market. They have either bat- teries or gasoline engine-driven generators and are carried on the back like a walkie-talkie. But before you go forth as a kilowatt killer, you'd better check with the wildlife authorities. They have very definite ideas about conservation of fish — and fish- ermen. Electrical fishing gear can be dangerous for bo.th and game wardens don’t want their nice clean streams and lakes clutter- ed up with electrocuted eelctric fishermen. Israel's First Decocle The Milwaukee Journal Israel has been able to flourish despite costly war, population up- heaval, economic crisis and Arab hostility. On its 10th anniversary as a nation, the country can be proud of the sheer fact of survi- val. On May 14, 1948 — which in the H e b r e w calendar corresponds with April 24 this year —- the British mandate over Palestine ended and the state of Israel be came a reality. Israel has done much more in the last 10 years than merely survive, of course. It has spent $3,000,000.000 to settle nearly a million immigrants. It has built 1,200 new factories and 180.000 a- partments. It has cultivated more than a half million acres of new farm land, more than tripled the production of electricity and es- tablished 430 new settlements for immigrants. The sand and desert have flowered u n d e r Israeli hands. FINANCIAL AID Rcgrettably, the country has ben forced to spend $700 million for its armed forces. Of Is.racl’s total finances, the United States has given $469 million in loans, grants and other aids. World-wide salesof Israel bonds has produc- ed $365 million and contributions to the United Jewish Appeal and other voluntary aid have totaled $656 million. Personal sacrifices involved in Israel's development have been tremendous. The people have liv- ed through heavy inflation, strict rationing, austerity, high taxation and military conscription for both men and women. Looking forward the next 10 years, Premier David Ben-Gurion recently predicted that the coun- try's population will increase from the present two million to about three million. He said, real- istically, that Israel will not be economically self - sufficient by 1968 but should be much closer to it than she is now. ' GREATEST NEED “The great question for Israel today,” Ben-Gurion said, “is not land. but men and their ability to develop what is here. We are only at the beginning of our in- dustrial capacity. We can double may develop a condition known as architis and. may even lose their reproductive power.
