Maritime Prosperity

Not since North American trade shifted from o sailing vessel to a railway basis has there been such an opportunity for the Maritimes to flourish as is now promised by the proved high grade ore deposits in Labrador. With American high grade ore being rapidly depleted the Labrador deposits will be the basis of future steel production and Sydney, N. S. with ccal mines at tide water is the logical location for the new industries. The older producers can only take advantage of the ore by devzlopment of the prohibitively expensive St. Lawrence seaways scheme.

Need-less to say, an expanding industrial Syd- ney would mean o nearby market for island pro- duce and would also load to the establishment of secondary industries throughout the Maritimes.

Handling Red Agitators

"Only the stars are neutral in this fight . . . We will use the Army aginst them, the Navy against them, the Air Force against them . . . Communism is on the way out here." These

quoted phrases are not the words of any reac-'

tionary. They came from Australian ticn Minister Arthur Calwell, addressing a Labor rally at Sydney on the subject of the cool strike.

lmmigra- ‘

l uraw rneraws no reason wny rne news agencies and other special correspondents would not adopt l the practice of bestowing on them such titles as

Defence Critic Pearkes or Justice Critic Diefen- l baker. l "There is no reason why this proposed sys- < tern could not be carried further, as it is on the iGovernmerit benches, by the selection of par- l liomentary assistants to the Critics of this or

that department. lt is true that certain commit- tees do operate now in Parliament among the Opposition groupflwhich make a special study of specific subjects, but this more detailed or- ganization should be worthwhile to the country during all sessions of Parliament."

There is just one rider to be added to our Winnipeg contemporary's excellent suggestion. Government ministers and Parliamentary assist- ants are paid extra for their labours out of the public treasury. The Opposition has no funds out of which to remunerate its leading lieutenants. While the Leader of the Opposition receives a special indemnity, the others have to get along on their pittance of $6,003 annually. The extra chores any of them may undertake along the lines of the Tribune's proposal would have to be done gratuitously.

Mr. Calwell said the Government would smash the cool strike and then move in to ex- terminate what he called the "Communist rat- bags."

strikes, sowing of discord between countries, be- tween races ond between labor and management, Comm-unist agents of one kind and another have sought to bring about that collapse. Taking od- vontage of democratic tolerance which they could never enjoy in the land where their ideology is enshrined, they have freely carried on their destructive schemes, sometimes by lying propo- ganda, sometimes by actual violence and intimi- dotion.

Parliamentary Watchdogs

NOW that the Progressive Conservative Party has been whittled to a representation of 4l mem-

i

bers in the House of Commons, it is more import- ,

ant than ever that His Majesty's Loyal Opposi-

tion should be extensively organized to handle properly the heavy task of criticizing the Gov-,

crnment.

ln the last House, Mr. J. M. Macdonnell was known as the financial critic of the Progres- sive Conservative Party, and Mr. Drew, of course, was known as the Leader of the Opposition. But apart from these two men not many members of

the Opposition were widely known or could be

recognized by specific titles or designations. Such is the fate of official oppositions because it is the government of the day that gets the greatest publicity.

ln this connection the Winnipeg Tribune sug- gests that the business of the nation would bene- fit- and the fortunes of the Opposition would be under less of a handicap if the leading min on the Opposition benches were not only given spe- cific responsibilities but were recognized under such titles as Defence Critic Pearkes, Justice Cri- tic Diefenbaker, External Affairs Critic Graydon and so on, These men and more like them would be tagged with the responsibility - under th- Leader of the Opposition, of course — of being watchdogs over the affairs of designated govern- mcnt departments. In order to uphold their dc- signations they would be required to make de- tailed study of the doings and pronouncements of their ministerial opposite and they would feel

. it incumbent on them to keep putting their best

feet forward. Not only would Parliament benefit by more ekpert criticism in every branch of its affairs, but the incumbent of the Opposition of- fica would gain the prestige of being tagged in the mind of the electorate with o specific title.

"Despite the heavy losses suffered by the Progressive Conservative Party in the June 27 election when men such as J. M. Macdonnell, John Bracken, John R. McNichol, John Hackett and Cecil Merritt were defeated," says the Tribune, "there are still many able men in the ranks of the official Opposition. In addition to those already mentioned, Pearkes, “Diefenboker and Graydon, there are such others as Howard C. Green of Vancouver, E. D. Fulton of Kam- loops; A. L. Smith, Calgary West; D. S. Hark- nan, Calgary East; J. Harris, Toranto-Danforth; Donald Fleming, Toranto-Eglinton; Hon. Earl Rowe, Dufferin-Simcoa; A. J. Brooks, Royal, New Brunswick; Percy Black, Cumberland, Nova Sco- tia; W.C.S. M'cLurc, Queens, P.E.l., and Col. Art Ross of Souris, to mention only a few outstand- lng names.
