Put Out More Flags

Mayor Gaudet has called upon our local merchants and citizens in general to follow the council's lead in decorating the city for this morn- 1lng’s big Gold Cup and Saucer Float Parade, and there is still time for those who have neglected doing so to co-operate in this manner. The parade, of course, is the prelude to this evening's race classic sponsored by The Evening Patriot, and it will be an eye-filling event the like if which has never been attempted here before. Old Home Week is the

-. time for demonstrations of this kind, which symbolize in pageantry and music the festive spirit that pre- ‘vails.

The eig hi bands participating include a top-ranking U.S. army organization from Bangor, Maine—- where so many former Prince Ed- ward Islanders reside-—-a girls’ pipe

" band from Glace Bay and an air

cadet hand from Fredericton. De- tachments from two Royal Canadian

Navy destroyers will be among the

forty-i'oui' units in the parade which will move along a two and

Special t,ra.'fic rules have been drafted for the occasion, and Police Chief MacArt.hiir has requested that these be strictly observed both by motorists and pedestrians. This is very important if accidents are to be avoided. Here again, the co- operation of all concerned is needed in making the festivities a success.

The P.M.'s Schedule

In a recent analysis of the Dieferibaker government's austerity measures, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce has this to‘ say: “If the present moves turn out to be inadequate further measures obviously will have to be adopted. It may be that import quotas will yet be necessary to balance out in- ternal accounts and that increased taxes will be required to balance the budget. Neither prospect pre- sents any adequate long-range solu- tion. Import quotas open possibil- ities of higher costs while increased taxes, especially with a. tax struc- ture that has grown haphazardly without design, will pose still greater deterrents to initiative and enter- prise.”

The present measures are ad- mittedly in the way of stop-gaps to save our currency reserve from col- lapse. The Prime‘ Minister has de- layed the Parliamentary session until September, but there is no reason why, in the meantime, he should be reticent about the prog- ress, if any, that has been made under these measures and how long he expects they will be continued. In the words of the Winnipeg Free Press, he should let the people know what the government is doing in its own “cooling off” period.

Specifically, is there to be a bud- get in the autumn session? Is the planned deficit of some $750 million. actually being cut in half as the government has promised? Is the tax system to be revised?

Moreover, if he still intends to represent Canada at the Common- wealth conference before he sum- mons Parliament, at least he "should announce what his attitude will be at London toward Britain's entry into the Common Market. It would be inconsistent with the Prime Min- ister’s often-voiced concern about

. constitutional obligations to present

us, afterwards, with a fait ac- compli. And, from’ the point of view of practical politics, it would be equally unfortunfie. For should he follow this course he could hardly expect the opposition parties, or the public they represent, to “cool off." Instead, he would only beat their sense of frustration, and their con- viction in the government’s im- potence and drift.

It is reassuring to note, from a statement by Labor Minister Start at Ottawa this week, that there will be no reduction in either the govern- mentfs winter works or vocational and technical school building. viro- trams. Govermneut commitments by July this year totalled $286,- 000.000 for 440 new schools or ad- ditions.
