Making Haste Slowly

Mr. Campbell scored some” good points in his maiden speech as Opposition leader in the Legislature on Tuesday, but we must confess that we see only opportunism in his pledg-

‘ing his party to “fight most aggres- sively for universal medicare in Prince Edward Island.” If there is an election in the offing, .as Mr. -Campbell believes, this could become _ a controversial issue, but it is® one which appears to have little validity at the moment. | -

Ottawa, it is true, intends to press ahead with its “universal” scheme on the basis of agreement with only three of Canada’s ten provinces, in

- the hope that the others will join

before the target date of July 1, 1967. But this kind of pressure is not con- ducive to making sound: decisions; ahd Prince Edward Island, for one, will have to await the report of the federal-provincial tax structure com- mittee before it can come to any ‘reasonable decision as to its ability

fo participate on the terms the fed-

eral government has laid down. This

‘report is not likely to be available

before June 1.

As Health Minister Wedge said on his return from the recent conference with Ottawa on the subject, if a better tax revenue deal can be worked out for us it is possible that we could then consider universal medicare. In the meantime the-House-will-have-before— it a limited plan which could take care of the more necessitous cases, amounting to abqut 12 per cent our population.

Under the proposed division of the federal $500 million health: resources ‘fund, we would get some share both- on a per capita basis and as a result of a special.$50 million grant to the At- lantic area, but we are still awaiting ‘the allocation of the money that would be available to us. under this

___._ grant. Mr. Wedge has pointed out our limited facilities for training health |

a"

personnel on a scale commensurate with the requirements of the federal scheme, and also the disappointing fact that Ottawa has again turned down the request of the province. to include, mental health and_ tuber:

~culosis patients under the hospital-in-—

_ surance plan. If this had been approv-, __ed_it would have meant a saving to

_ us of between $600,000 and $700,000 |

a year, and would have brought us a step closer to full medicare.

We think, in the circumstances, that the Shaw government’s decision to make haste slowly in this matter is justified. Indeed, it has no other choice. Mr. Campbell himself has stressed the gravity of our financial position in view of the developments forecast in the Throne Speech, and

has warned that the only alternative |

to more taxes is “a better deal from Ottawa.”

That being so,, perhaps a pledge to. “fight most aggressively” for this objective wouldn’t be a bad one for both parties to give priority to at this

time.

Farm Families Ousted

There will be sympathy in this agricultural province for the 23 fam- ilies in Shannon, Quebec, who have to vacate their 10,000 acres (about. 16 square miles) of rich -farmland be-

cause Cafiada’s military brass “has”

decided: to enlarge Camp Valcartier’s

ge considerable a breadbasket can be dismissed by the Department of Na- tional Defense ‘as expendable?

We get this story from a com- mentator in an .Ontario exchange, who concedes that the military has been in power at Valcartier for dec- ades, but, claims that the pattern of power ‘has been changing so rapid- ly and drastically of late that it could be better to relocate the camp than proceed to enlarge it, regardless of the agricultural. complications invol- ved. Certainly there is a place for artillery ranges, but in a~country so large as this they do\not have to occupy arable land.

Nor .can- economy be reasonably given as an excuse for any grab of this nature. Such property is not a one-season proposition. Under pro- per cultivation 16 square miles of any fruitful area makes an ‘annual con- tribution to the national .sustenance basket. With about 350,000. “more stomachs to feed each year, and an increasing world demand for. any surplus that Canada can spare, the ‘move would appear.'to be a short- sighted one indeed. It may yet lead to a demand in Parliament for an in- -quiry to establish whether the big wheels of the Defense Department were operating with the rationality © expected of them. .

~~Construction Costs -~-

Perhaps it’s, just as well that in view of the lavish federal expenditure on our Confederation Memorial Building, we didn’t get the go-ahead for embarking on a “big Centennial project here. Some of the provinces which have done so are probably wishing they had started at a more opportune time. a

Take the city of Saskatoon, for ex- ample, which planned a civic audi- torium at an original estimated cost of $4,500,000. Tenders for the foun- dation and for steel construction were ;awarded, totalling around $900,000. The tenders for the main portion of the building were called. The lowest bid was $5,480,000. Additional -costs, such as architects’ fees, furnishings and land costs would add up to an- other million dollars. All of which brings the total cost estimates to | $7,344,000—$3 million higher than - the original estimated cost and $2 million higher than the last maximum cost estimate that was given the city council less than a month ago. ~~’

The increased cost has reportedly .thrown the Saskatoon planners into a tailspin. Federal and provincial grants for the project (and for a similar auditorium in Regina) have been fixed ata maximum of $3_ million for each city. Recently the provincial government said there would be no more money forthcoming for the projects, and it does not look as if the city can go ahead. WE

Regina now is waiting to see what | happens in Saskatoon: But the Winni-~ peg Free Press suggests that other cities will have similar disquieting experiences, and expresses concern about the rising cost of Winnipeg’s Centennial Centre. The trouble, of course, is that building costs are -rocketing-up—not-from-year to-year- but from month to month. It’s leav- ing: many communities with a lot of worrying to do these Gays. ca. 2

Not Before Time

As announced in the Legislature by Agriculture Minister MacRae and at Ottawa by the federal forestry de- partment, a two-year ARDA résearch program for the province has been agreed upon, at a cost off $206,000, two-thirds of which will be paid by the federal government. The program will be co-ordinated with the more general planning work by the- At- lantic Development Board, and holds out prospects of very real benefit not only to our farmers, but.to all sec- tions of our people.

As outlined, the study is to em- brace all sectors of the economy, in- ~-cluding ~agriculture;-fisheries,-fores-~ try,.recreation and tourism, man- power training, land use, community services, public information, educa- tion, and development financing. Nothing on such a comprehensive sale has ever been attemped, and it “is tobe hoped that Ho time will be

For Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp has stated that the esti- mated cost of that commission ‘up to March 31 is a staggering $4,502,635, and that the coming fiscal year will add another $1,- 200,000. Thus at March 31 next year, that Bi and Bi Commission will have cost the taxpayers the shocking. total of $5,702,635, with ‘no final estimate possible” because the end is not in sight.

EXTRAVAGANT PROBE $ Is this figure remarkable? For a government which will spend over eight billion dollars ~mere-$5-7+

million is peanuts. But when we compare this figure with the cost of other royal commissions we see at once that Prime Mi- nister Lester Pearson has crea- ted there a Frankenstein of un- precedented proportions to ha- rass the taxpayers.

The two most significant roy- al. commissions set up by the Diefenbaker Government were the’ Glassco Commission on Government. Organization and the Carter Commission on Tax- ation. The former was com. pleted over two years ago at a total cost of $2,791,915. When its recommendations have been ~winnowed- and ‘iat implim ented, ol they may well save the taxpay- er tens of millions of dollars every year. ,

Hamilton Spectator

__The Soviet Union has -confer- red its highest award, the Order ‘of Lenin, on its former master spy, Colonel Rudolph Abel. This adds lustre to the colonel and to the profession of spying. ,«*

Abel, it may be reme red, spied for the Soviet Union in the United States, using as his ‘‘cov- er’ a little photographie pro- cessing business in New York. He was eventually caught by the FBI and sentenced to 30 years imprisonment. In 1962, he was exchanged for the U.S. U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers. CHANGED ATTITUDE

A curious change has come over the general attitude to spies since the last war. Except, where treachery is involved, they have become heroes in- stead of what they were former- ly, despised individuals engag- ed in a rather dirty business.

In the early years of this cen- tury, spying was regarded mere- ly as “unsportsmanlike,” not -the-sort_of thing that would be expected of a gentleman. In Bri- tain, for example, there was no

adequate law under which peace-time suspects could be prosecuted.

The First World War destroy-

ed the naivety. Spies became “‘menaces. Populations hated and feared them. Many faced firing squads, blindfolded, back to prison wall. : MAJOR PROBLEM : Nor had espionage become any more respectable in the pub- lic mind by the Second World War. It had- become more scientific. A spy’s major prob- lem had not been getting the in- formation— human carelessness and trustfulness make that rea- sonably easy for a trained agent —but getting it home. In the last war, radio solved this problem. Radio espionage and counter- espionage battles were fought.. The most important was that be- tween the secret Soviet network inside Germany, called by the Nazis “the Rote Kapelle” (Red Chapel) and counter- espionage. Now an aura of romance

seems to surround spies. Colon- |°”

el Abel is obviously, considered highly worthy of his country’s gratitude. But there is one flaw. The best spies (like Silber, who worked undetected in the British postal censorship throughout the First World War) are not caught. They live to tell thei

own stories. s

Malignancy By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

Cancer of the prostate is a pe- culiar’. malignancy. The cancer- ous seeds. in the’ gland may-re- main dormant (latent) for years and, in this respect, it does not follow the usual rules: These hidden lesions were found at autopsy in 60 per cent of 500 men who died for other reasons.

Prostatic cancer can be ruth- less after graduating from the latent stage and. making its pres- ence known to the victim. The condition is less serious in older men. This is why physicians recommend conservative meas- ures when the diagnosis is made

Labor average swing of 3% per cent, Wilson would collect a ma- jority of well over 100. By re- versing that trend, Tory leader Edward Heath» would become minister with’ a margin of nearly 100.
