Federation of ‘Agriculturp brict' presented to the 3, Legislature yesterday, this is the .twentieth occasion of an annual _ presentation by the Federation be- :t‘ore our ‘have elected representatives. Many of its proposals in the. past. been implemented in sub- _‘ sequent legislation; and we note that yesterday‘s brief, while commending many of the agricultural policics un- ’ dcr way, also contains constructive ' criticism and suggestions for im- provomcnt. The construction of two voca- tional high schools is described as -— offering “exciting educational pos- 4 sibilities." The Federation offers its services in planning agricultural training therein. and rccommends - that a provincial conference on the : matter be arranged. It urges the ap- ' point’mcnt of a qualified beef field- ~man to promote. extension Work among cattle producers. It warns ‘ that absentee ownership and cloud— ' ed titles result in land “going wild”, and suggests a tax on such land to promote improved usage. It is criti- ‘ cal of the present. Potato Marketing ' Board and recommends that the 9- board be either reorganized or re- .g. s on... r q :- wot-«pi ’,+s ,,. ’ i. d i t in 3 'In the campaign and of the record - placed with new members. There is criticism also of the manner in which the machinery for producing agricultural projects un- der ARDA has been working. Six- teen projects have reportedly been submitted by the province to the Federal administration and few if any are related very directly to .agriculture. It is complained that early last November the Federa- ' lion brought before the Resources . Development. Council a proposal for extended research into agriculture, that the proposal was before the (‘ouncil on two occasions but re- ceived no serious consideration. and that a special meeting planned for this purpose on Jan. 8 was cancel- . led without explanation or notice. Nor has the Federation been able to ; elicit further information on the 1' subject. . In the proposal referred to it P was urged that a Research and De— ; velopment. Commission be set up " in the province, to consist of a chair- ; man to be employed by the ARDA organization with experience a n d l,"akill as a regional planner and with E a. broad concept of community de— velopment: also an agricultural scientist, an economist, a marketing specialist, and a top practical farm- er. The Director of Research, it was proposed. should act as a liaison of- ficer between the commission and the government. It is. well to bring grievances of this kind into the open. where they can be discussed frankly in the in- terests of all concerned. Reassunng News Regardless of how the Voting goes in the federal election on April 8, there seems no doubt now 1‘0f the healthy interest being taken .vote that will result. The man best ‘,qualified to speak on this subject is Chief Electoral Officer Nelson Kimmy, who forecasts a. turn- of” W than 80 per cent of voters on the big clay. " ji‘he beat previous showing was .8 per cent of 9,131,000 etigibles in 1968 election. Last. June 18, ' ' “par cam of the 9,700,325 elig- ‘m to the polls. The number -i “voters for April 8 won’t ‘ - ‘ until after the election. ‘ that ing officers Indicates at least 9.- 844.196. The figure is likely to be increased by revisions which in the last election added about 80,000 names and in some elections have added more than 200,000. And, ‘according to Mr. Gaston- guay. there has never been such widespread interest, as reflected In inquiries to his own office and to re- turning officers in the country's 263 Constituencies. It is on this basis that he predicts an increase of at least one percentage point on this occasion. This is good news. Apathy at the polls is one thing the country cannot afford at this time. It is the duty of citizens to exercise their franchise, and to acquaint themsel- ves as best they can with the issues involved before doing so. Federal campaigns in this country are too long. and there is a tendency to get bored with hearing and reading the same speeches from candidates who themselves must get pretty tired of their own arguments before election day. The next Parliament should do something about that. But in the meantime. as responsible citizens, we cannot allow ourselves to be- come indifferent. If Mr. Castonguay is right: in his predictions. we’re not going to let ourselves down on this occasion. By turning out in record numbers we won’t all succeed in getting in the government, we want, of course. But at least. we shall have done our best to keep the other rascals out! Wilson To Washington More than usual interest at- taches to the forthcoming visit to Washington of Britain’s new Op- position Labor Party leader, Har- old Wilson. Labor has been out of power in Britain for eleven years, and its evangelical period seems to be over. It is not at the moment: moved to any deep crusading urge; Mr. Wilson’s rise to the top has been due to his skill in attacking Tory shortcomings rather than to his advocacy of any massively popular causes. But he is believed, in many quarters, to be the man with the best visible prospect of being the next Prime Minister of Great Britain. Mr. Wilson will be visiting Wash- lng‘ton at a time when its customary reliance on Eunope's rigiht-wing parties has been undermined by President de Gaulle’s wrecking job on the Kennedy “grand design" for freer trade and defense integra- tion. According to a commentator in the Christian Science Monitor, the dc Gaulle-Adenauer combina- tion has done more. to damage the Atlantic alliance than either Josef Stalin or Nikita Khrushchev ever succeeded in doing. To the above add the fact that; Chancellor Ade- nauer is on his way out in Bonn. For a decade now the four major European allies—Britain, France, Italy, and West Germany—have all been under conservative political management. The habit of collabor- ation between Washington and Eur- opean conservativism has been long and deeply established. One conse- quence is that socialist parties and leaders assume that Washington is against them. Mr. Wilson’s visit will provide a first chance for the ser- ious exploration of a possible alter- native to this habit. Of course the Macmillan Government isn’t defeat- ed yet, and it would be a major diplomatic blunder if Washington assumed publicly that it was going to be. What goes on behind the scenes will be another matter. EDITORIAL NOTES The government of Madagascar has launched a national tree-plant.- ing campaign and decreed that everyone between the age of 18 and 60 must take part in it. Each Madagascan must plant at least 100 forest or fruit trees per year, either on his own property or on land selected by the state. I t C Development of grassland farm- ing in Japan during the past six years has led to a spectacular in- crease in milk production. The coun- try now has aom e 660,000 dairy cows, four times more than before the Second World War. The number of sheep has risen from 44,500 to 100,000, and the number of pigs from 850.000 to 1,600,000. Milk pro- duction (260,000 metric tone before the war) reached 1,500,000 tons in 1958. The supply of cattle meet has also increase from 142,000 mora that: 279,000 Iona. A HARD PARADE TO LEAD OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson McCutcheon Keeps Quoting Statistics Faced by embarrassing stati- stics, which prove that the Can- undian economy Is making good progress, In some cases making record progress. Liberal spokes- men assert that statistics lie, Senator Wally MacCutcheon is telling election rallies. "The Liberals say that the statistiu which we quote don’t give the true story." explained the silverihaired former direc- tor of twenty-two top Canadian businessmen, who is now minis- ter of Trade and Commerce. "Well," he commented In his soft growling voice, "when I was in business. and one of my companies, statistics showed that costs were down two per cent. and net profits up twenty per cont, I didn’t say ‘Oh. but those are just statistics} I knew what was going on."

CANADA IS GO. GO .GO Last year our gross national production, on the basis of fig- urcs covering the first three quarters. was up by a stagger- Ing 8.6 per cent above the pre- vious year. Canada practically led the parade in the western world, Personal incomewas up by the same preparation. Motor vehicle production was up by an astonishing and profitable 30 per cent. In fact, among the leading Indicators, every single figure showed a plus "gain" over the previous year—except one. One indicator was down, and this one fell by a huge 17 per cent.

"And there Is no Indication that we are losing the momentum gain- ed In 1962.

St. Dunstan's University Is well equipped to care for t 9 educational needs of its students. It grants both the BA and th e degree. In the past few years It has added to both Its educational and recreational fa- cilities by the erection of Marion College— an ultra- m o d e r n girls' residence, a library. and . an in) to date rink. one of the few on (the Island to have arti- fIcIal ice. What facilities for higher'edu- cation has Prince Edward Island to offer non-Catholics? The pres- ent Plrince of Wales College building was erected In the early 30's. Montgomery Hall, a very the girls residence was complet~ ed In 1961. The college Is non- aecretarlau. Although its stand- ards are high It offers only high school and the first two years of unlveralty. This means that our young people have to leave the province to obtain a deer e. Aside from the extra financial burden and the Inconvenience. the mainland universities are al- ready b u re t I u g at the seams and with the population explos- Ion, this over-crowding will be- come more acute as time goes on. Naturally, their own students will have the priority. The result —It will be more and more dlffl- cult for Island students to gain admlttance to mainland univer- allies. So unless Prince of Wales Col- lege Ia raised to university level. Ita aduates must accept a low- at lIcence, accept lower pay and teach lower grades than the graduates of St; Dunstan's.

Ac- cording to the population Re- ference B u r e a II. Inc., there were approximately 77 billion a pro- posed aa the dawn of the prehis- toric era. If this were true. the three billion people living today would amount to approidmately 4 per cent of that number. 0n the 0th 1' hand. anthropologists dis- agree as some believe the» hu- man species goes back as much as two million years. Scientists have been utilized to defer death. The medical agriculturlsts, nu- tritionists, and many 0 r technologists have worked to- ward thia goal. The industrial culture that has emerged pro- foundly altered the patterns of survival and population growth. Public health programs now reach the most remote villages In the world. It Is understandable why It took hundreds of thousands of year s for the population to reach the quarter-billion mark. It took a n o t h e r 16 centuries after the beginning of the Chris- tian era to reach a half billion. According to the bureau, an- 200 years passed before the billion mark was reached and only 80 more years (1920) to make It two billion. The world’s present pupula- tlon 15 three billion and. accord- ing to estimates of the United Nations. the number will dou-.. ble to six billion In 40 years. This is what is meant by the population explosion. This situation is better ap- preciated when we realize that the world-wide increase is of recent origin. Will science again come to the rescue and let us have our cake and eat It too? What will be the stabillz« lug Influences? Will we have enough to eat? Must we emi- grate to new planets?

Ru‘ssicm Oil 3! The Soviet Union's oil exports drive is causing disaenalon In the Western alliance and fear In Washington that oil will give Russia decided military advan- tage In Europe. Undersecretary of State George Ball has decided to hurry to Inndon In what Is de- rlbed as a more stopover meeting with British official: but which In reality I a mis- sion to plead with the U.I(. gov- ernment to discourage exports of large-diameter oil pipe to a O Rus a. Tapping what appears to be one of t world's greatest oil reserves. Russia has developed the world's largest oil supply netw'ork_ By undercutting estab- shed Western prices, she also has established major markets In Italy and smaller markets In other West European centres. So apeedlly has Russia stepped up production and transportation of oil that her own pipe - producing facilities are insufficient for her needs. For some years she obtained additional large - diameter pipe any but Chan- cellor Adenauer thrust aside In- dustry protests and put a halt to further exports. PIPE NOT BANNED Now Russia Is seeking pipe from Britain and US. authori- ties fear Britain will encourage such shipments because of un- employment at home and be- cause pipe is not on the list of strategic goods banned from ex- port to Communist countries. Americans realize mans would be highly Incensed If Britain grabs a pipe contract valued at many millions of dol- .lars which the German govern- ment had crushed at great po- litical risk. Harold Canadian Prea O Export Drive Mil'rlloai a Staff erler Americana also are concerncd that Britain ls ready to consider bartering British ships for Rus~ an oil, thereby displacing me Imports from Western suppliers, British officials coun- ter U.S. criticism by saying some of the British shipyards are Idle. The violent demonstra- tion by thousands of unem- ployed workers at the doors of Parllament In London tends to add strength to the British ar- gument that the British worker won't stand for Idleness. Aside from the competitive Impact of Russian oil on US. exports, Ithe U.S, fears that by extending her large - diameter pipeline, Russia will be able to speed delivery of oil to strate- gic points In the event of war. CREATED MARKETS US. policy Is to attempt to persuade the Allies to do every- thing they can to reduce Soviet oil expansion. European allies have been ow to co-operalc. A congressional foreign affairs study mission reported that gov. ment - owned facilities in Western Europe created mar- kets for Soviet oil in Italy. France, West Germany and Sweden. The U. . believes oil pipe should he on the strategic list or goods banned from shipment to the Communists but the con- gressional report says “Britain remains one of the chief stum- bling blocks to the attainment in Western Europe of broader and more effective controls on exports to the Communist coun- es." The report also says that the private oil industry In Western Europe "must share part of the blame for the success of the Soviet all offenst In that (O 3.
