Seaway, but also by reason of the |

exhaustive—and exhausting—nature

of the itinerary which only Her —__Majesty’s spartan devotion to duty has made possible of fulfillment.

- Everywhere she nas* gone, from the busiest - metropolis to the re- motest hamlet, her people have been on hand to accord: her~a-truly royal Canadian greeting; cheers and flags and buntifg and addresses of wel- ‘come, boquets and dinners and ceremonies of every kind. We rea- lize now that the tour program, however well intentioned; was too taxing .and should have been plan- red on less ambitious lines. But it was Her Majesty’s wish. that every opportunity should be afforded to her people in every Province of participating in, this gala occasion, and we like to think that she would feel as badly as we should have done, had it been necessary: to bypass these Maritime Provinces.”

So we rejoice in Her Majesty's visit to this Island, royally named and proudly regardful of its past and present allegiance. Here she will find modest but substantial signs of progress and industry; flourisn- ing farmlands and tidy homesteads, fishing centres, towns and villages, and lovely shorelines everywhere— a “green and pleasant land” now at its greenest and most captivating; set, like her native England, a jewel in the silver sea.

Above all, she will find a people

greater degree than any other Pro-

vince the four sturdy races—Eng-

lish, Irish, French and Scotch—

which carved this nation out of

wilderness and kept it steadfast on

its course; a people nursed in loyal-

except in.ready defense of freedom in

other lands, whose history is an

early epitome of Commonwealth

achievement in responsible govern-

ment and in whose capital—now

gaily decorated for this great day—

Confederation was born and cradled.

The -detailed program of the

Royal visit was published in our

special edition on Monday, and it is

unnecessary to review it here, ex-

cept to say that it provides for many

ef our citizens the opportunity of

meeting Her Majesty and Prince

Philip personally, ‘and for all—

| children and adults alike—of seeing

- and welcoming them along the

designated routes through the city

and rural areas. More than that, it

will enable the Royal visitors to see

a good deal of our Province, and to

recall what we trust are happy mem-

ories of their previous visit to our shores.

While we are not a demonstra- tive people, we should forget our in- hibitions' today and shdéw i~ our greetings the warmth of sentiment we feel towards Her Majesty and Royal ‘Consort, the pride we take in welcoming them, and the heart- felt wishes we have for their con- tinued health and happiness.

Professor Yadin believes this must have been in the 13th century B.C. according to relics, and especially pottery, found on the site.

Dr. M. M. Coady, founder of the co-opera- tive movement in these Maritime Pro- vinces, whose labois were richly blessed in his lifetime and will go

on paying dividends, in grateful.

hearts and happier and more pro- gperous homes of workers of all classés and creeds whom he _in- spired with his truly @hristian mes- sage.” °

His chief concern was in promot- ing adult education among the fishermen of these provinces, which took the practical form of econo- mic guidance. Here was a field in which his genius tor organization, and for enthusing others with his

ideals of social service, found full |

scope. After the First World War, the plight of our Atlantic fishermen was indeed desperate, and it seem-

“ed that only a miracle could sal-

vage their industry and put them on their feet economically. Eighteen months after Dr. Coady had set out on his one-man mission of rehabil- itation, a small fishemen’s federa- tion was established in Halifax; and this sparked a chain reaction which is still going on, with marvellous results throughout Canada.

‘Dr. Coady’s passing will be deep- ly mourned; but he lived to see his vision realized, and of few men can

EDITORIAL NOTES

The United States exhibition in Moscow is having trouble with steal- ing. Workers the job have been making off with the exhibition's supply of mercantile catalogues. But nobody is calling the police. It’s ob- vious the Russians are intrigued by the endless supply of consumer goods

avajlable\ to Americans. So the ex-,

hibition is merely increasing its sup-. ply of catalogues and planning to co-operate with the thieves. A lot more catalogues will be allowed to

“disappear”. * * a $28,000,000 will spend during the next year in rative as- sault on educatioffal problems, it

was announced at the end of the first Commonwealth Education Con- ference at Oxford, England, on Tuesday. Canada’s share of this amount: will be about $8,000,000. Half the money will be used on a scholarship plan, the remaining

funds for additional teacher training |

facilities, increased technical know- ledge in Asian and African coun- tries, and encouraging teachers to spend some time in other countries on an exchange basis. * .

When it comes to delivering the perfect squelch, says a correspond- ent for the North American Newspa- per Alliance, General Charles de Gaulle is no mean hand. It seems that the French medical fraternity, worried about pay under the gov- ernmem’s new plans for social in- -gurance, sent a delegation to fell

LESSON OF THE SESSION

- Procedure Needs Revision

John Bird in the Winnipeg Free Press

If democracy gies in Canada, it | is just as likely to be a case of | suicide as of assassinaiion. We have just—come—-through—a_ses- sion of Parliament in which the nation’s business and the spending-of, your tax dollars and mine — have’ been shockingly badly conducted.

Much time was wasted, as us-

to that wild scramble at the end in which, for example, the esti- mates of the Post Office Depart- ment whizzed through at a rate of almost two million dollars’ a | minute $170 millions in weil under two hours.

No need to overemphasize the figure of one department: but this, incidentally, happens to be one whose expenditures had not been worked over in advance by the committee on estimates. NOT ALL THE BLAME |

By no means all of the blame | attaches to the Diefenbaker Gov- ermmment. though it committed | one cardinal crime is failing to appoint committees early enough to get their work done before the final-rush. Parliament as a whole is responsible for its own rules, not merely the Government. The whole procedure of Parliament is in need of jacking up to enable it to cope with the vastly increas- ed amount of business it has to handle. a

In 1955 a half-hearted over- | haul of ,the rules was agreed to. The windy throne speech de- with its interminable Cook's tour travelogues of new -mem- bers’ constituencies, was limit- | ed to ten days.

In a far-flung country like Can- ada, as opposed to a compact | one. like Britain, there is good reason to allow opportunities for expression of regional grievanc- es. But surely ten dull working days is a lot of time for the puf- fery which is the prime charac- | teristic of that debate.

TOO LIMITED In 1955, too, debate on the Bud-

* get was limited to eight days.

Both these are too long when | you consider’ that even highly | important_debates are limited to three days at Westminster.

‘TRIBUTE TO-P. E. I.

Sir,—This is my third trip to your’ beautiful Island. We drove here from Edmonton, and saw | many beautiful “places, but your Island has a beauty all its own... The red soii;the beautiful mead- ows full of daisies and other wild flowers, tile swallows, so num- erous flashing in all directions, your sandy beaches, the glorious sunsets—all these things and many more add up to what the Islanders in the west say. “‘The Island'—what other island is there?"

We find your stores well stock. ed and prices which surprised us. They compare favourably with the rest of Canada, ‘

But the friendliness of your people is what we like best of | all. I sort of have the feeling, that living in such beauty—and in such peaceful surroundings—you have caught a different glimpse of God. | May you always cherish your | heritage, and be able to proudly | present it to our Queen as you will this Thursday.

more party discipline, do some violence to individual freedom and place an unpleasant amount of power in the hands of the whips. .

If-a debate, say on defence, is limited to two days, then the number of members who can speak is necessarily limited. If more want to speak than time wilf permit, then the whip has to choose who shall speak for the party—-Unpleasant, but i looks like being necessary.

URGED REGULAR PERIODS

The CCF in general and Harold Winch in particular have been pressing for the calling of Par- liament in the fall, with three re- gular periods separated by reces- ses of at least a month at Christmas and Easter. Sensible enough, probably. But it won't work much better than the pre sent practice unless the time it- self’ is more efficiently employ- ed.

A ten or fifteen minute speech is much more likely to

| make an impact on the House,

and, thtough the press, on the country, than the usual 40 min- ute ramble. The late Art Smith of Calgary. and the present Sen- ators Dave Croll and Charles G. Power have been the masters of the short Commons speech in our time. New reputations could be

made in this House if members would learn to make it short and sharp.

_ One limitation which might be viewed askance would be tight-

,, ening up on motions to go into

supply. These provide the tradi- | tional opportunity for the Oppos- ition to raise serious and urgent | protesis—as for example in the John Pallett case. Certainly the number of these (six at pre sent) should-not be further limit- | ed, but it may be argued wheth- | er — once the protest is register- | ed — two days are required for the debate.“ CALLED TOO-TARDILY

Part of tthe reason for setting up so many committees was to ensuure that much-departniental | business would have been thor- oughly examined before the esti- mates of those departments came

up.

It did not work out that way, for the most part. Committees were called so tardily that, for example, the Indian Affairs and Elections committees had no time | to do anything of consequence. The crucial Broadcasting com- mittee was set up so late that in its report it had to apologise for not having time to hear the Cana- dia | or to give the new Board of Broadcasting Commission- ers more than a lick and a pro-

The danger in remaking Par- liamentary rulés is that the free- | dom of the Opposition to criticize | and expose abuses may: be cur- tailed.

Quebec For S

New speculation of the possibil- ity of Quebec City being chosen as the site for a summit confer- ence may be more than mere

The significance of the latest

speculation is that it came im-

mediately after Nixon's confiden- |

'. Khrushchev has been pushing ‘for a summit for a long time. He got fairly strong suoport for such talks -with Britain. But Pres- ident Eisenhower recently sug- gested a summit conference ap- | peared remote because of the lack of progress at Geneva.

The Age Old Story

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lerd, “my strength, and my redeemer.

Facts Can

The Canadian people, I am reliably informed, are. getting bored with inflation, interest rat- es, statistics, and facts general- ly. No doubt they are. A demo- cratic public is easily bored. It was even bored by the foreign ministers’ conference at Geneva after a couple of weeks, even though that involved a matter of some importance, namely, the survival of the human species.

Democracy, a young, cheerful, uplighting faith, doesn’t like to think of unpleasant things, where- as Communism, an ancient, grim religion in new disguise, seems to think of nothing else and is never bored for a moment. That is one of the several reasons, I suppose, why we are so obviously losing the struggle for the world. It bores us. :

Well aware that no one will read further when they are men- tioned, I cite a few serious Ca- nadian facts because it is easier

Meantime the Nixon - Kirush- che encounter has emphasized a puzzling part of American di- Plomacy: The timing—or lack of it — iin decisions and announce- rments.

PRAYER WEEK —

A week before Nixon was to land in Moscow, Eisenhower—at the request of congress — pro- claimed a week of prayer for captive Soviet satellites, a move that made Khrushchev boil.

Similarly, on the eve of the re- sumed foreign ministers’ confer- ence earlier this month, the U.S. announced it would sue Russia “or damages in the international court as a resu't of the shooting down of an. American somber over Jaan five years ago.

Officials said this suit was be- ing undertaken even though the US. did not expect Russia to pav. All the U.S. expected was a moral victory. ‘

Third fact and most boresome of all: We are borrowing like crazy from the United States and piling up a huge foreign debt. We must some time repay it in Am- erican dollars, which means, ‘and can only mean, by exports to the United States or to other nations to pay in American dollars.

The immediate result of these borrowings is to drive up the price of the Canadian dollar on the international exchange far above the American dollar and that makes us glow with pride.
