~ Those Mineral Rights
Premier Lesage has indicated that he intends to keep the pressure on Ottawa to withdraw its request to the Supreme Court of Canada to deliver a judgment on jurisdiction over ‘olf- shore mineral rights He told the Quehec legislature last week that he had asked Mr. Pearson “both by phone and in writing” to withdraw the ticklish question and settle it around the conference table. Now he has served notice that federal gov- ernment ministers can expect some hot and heavy debate on the subject when the federal-provincial confer- ence opens in Ottawa on July 19.
This is a fight for a potential mul- timillion dollar jackpot and it is one in which seven ‘other provinces are vitally concerned. For once, their interests seem to be pulling the same wav. Mr. Lesage says he has the backing of the premiers of these provinces but denies that there has been any “ganging up.” What the provinces want, he says. is to have _.the matter decided out of the courts | because they consider it to be politi- ‘eal rather than judical. The preced- ent of provincial jurisdiction over the offshore mineral rights, he main- tains. was established by Nova Scotia which has been mining coal under the ocean for years.
The Maritime provinces, Quebec and British Columbia are all affect- ed because they border on the sea.
“T} 1e
Ontario and Manitoba are concerned _,
as well. because they touch of Hud- son's Bay, which is considered high Seas. into the controversy and arous- ed Mr. Lesage’s ire was the grant- ing by Ottawa of an oil and gas ex-
ploration permit in the Gulf of St. | prospects of change. This will make,
Lawrence to a Calgary company, when permits covering much of the same area had previously been is- sued by the Quebec government to Hvdro-Quebec.
With an already overloaded agenda, next month's federal-pro- vincial conference promises to be a stormy one if the provincial spokes- men insist on having a showdown on this issue. What it is to be hoped
that Ottawa won't attempt to do-is-
buy off the more powerful provinces with concessions that will not apply to all.

on biculturalism that are going on un- der the aegis of the B and B Royal Commission. When jt does, it tends to get less publicity than it deserves. This was the case in connection with a trenchant reply to the oft-repeated argument that our Canadian histor- jes should be. revamped to produce some sort of “bicultural’”’ history. Then, the argument runs. French- speaking and English-speaking stud- ents would be given the same picture of their country's past and so would find it easier to agree on what to do about the sriags in its present. . On this point the University of Toronto Press had something to say to the commission in a brief submit- ted earlier this year. which we hadn't seen until now, and which it has just yecently printed in its Press News. Here it is: - . “The fact that a historian, writ- Yng in French. takes a different view of certain events of Canadian history ¥rom that of another historian writ- ing in English, need not be regarded as any more. remarkable than the fact’ that two historians writing in French disagree, or that two historians writ- ing in English differ (as they fre- quently do). The ‘facts’ of. history are continually being freshly inter- preted, and revalued as sources are re-examined.

According to - Douglas Fisher, | NDP member_for Port Arthur who

to journalism, the moans are loud ° among politicians over the new met- hods of redistributing parliamentary ‘constituencies. Many citizens who take a large interest in politics and less interest in the parties, he says, | have difficulty in understanding this. | They everlook the fact that the con- | stituency or, riding, the locality rath- er than the region or county, is the _ MP's bed-rock. Most of them are already at work to adapt their present organization and: their personal following to the new lines. For a minority, probably about 25 per cent, it means search- ing for a new home. Most of these know that their first conformation will be with another MP of their own

If it should happen that the process is complemented by a Conservative leadership contest of some months. as seems possible, the future for the partisan Canadian is exciting beyond imagination.”
For the rest of us. let’s hope it won't be too much of a headache.

FROM ANNA TO WENDA Why Nice Girls’ Names ae Hurricanes?
Names of hurricans for the 1965 season range from Anna to Wenda.

fly into the center of the storms, the Nationa! Geograph- ic Society says
The names reduce confusion when two or more tropical cyc- Jones occur at the same time. In 1950, for example, four unnam- ed hurricanes simultaneously whirled across the Gulf of Mex- feo, the Caribbean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean. Warnings about one storm were mistaken for another hundreds of miles away.
STORM CALLED ALICE
To avoid this kind of mis- understanding, hurricanes in the three areas were designated by a phonetic alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie, etc.) in 1951 and 1952. In 1953, the Weather Bur- eau began christening the tro- pical disturbances with girls’ names. The ‘first was a minor early-season storm called Alice.
In 1960, a semipermanent rost- er of four sets of names was in- troduced. A separate set is used each year, beginning with the first name in the group. After four years the rotation of sets begins again. Whenever a maj- or hurricane affects the United
States, its name is retired for 19 years and another substitut- ed
The 1965 name* are Anna, Betsy. Carol, Debbre,. Elena, Frances, Gerda, Holly. Inga, Jenny, Kara, Laurie, Martha, Netty, __Orva, — Pezes..__ Rhoda. Sadie, Tanya, Virgy, and Wen- da

Suggestions have been made to designate hurricanes by Greek letters (Alpha. Beta,

Naming hurricanes {s ,not— a new practice. For several hun- dred years many, West Indian hurricanes.__were _ saints.on whose days they arriv- ed. Residents of Santo Domingo called an 1834 storm “Padre Ruiz” for a priest who was be- ing buried when it struck.

Canada Lends A Mace

Algerian Repercussions
By Joseph MacSween Canadian Press Staff Writer
There appears to confusion about the political slant of the new regime in Al- geria. But Peking apparently feels the change has put China one up over the Soviet Union in the struggle of the Commu- nist giants for Africa
Algerian spokesmen say the change simply means Ahmed Ben Rella was a poor and , power-mad ruler and was de- | posed by Col. Houari dienne on those grounds—not for political reasons
But approving noises irom Peking—and silence from Mos- “cow indicate that the big wheels of communism see more _significance in the change than a mere clash, between two am- bitious Arabs. :
This was apparent at the conference of Commonwealth prime ministers in London, where China’s top diplomat in Britain. Hsiun@ Hsianc hui, was busy in support of Bounve- dienne.
Commenting on the timing of the’ overthrow last weekend. one Arab source said Boume- dienne had to act before the second Afro-Asian summit con- ference. which was planned for next week In Algiers
Ben Bella, as host of such an important gathering. would have nicked up so much pres- tige that Boumedienne ‘might

success the leaders didn't want to go ab this time—but the Chinese interest was significant The Chinese apparently hoped to. accord Boumedienne _ the prestige that in other circum. stances would have: fallen to Ben Bella
Some observers feel the im portance of the summit meet. ing, bringing together the rulers
‘of the greater part of mankind,
is underestimated in Western countries. It is the first such meeting since the 1955 confer-. ence. in Bandung, Indonesia. MEETING UNLIKELY
To be host at the 60-country meeting would Indeed be a rousing start for the new Al- gerian leader but all indications are that this will be denied him for the present at least because of unrest in Algiers. The risks . would be enough to strike dread {nto the heart of any security ' officer:
This will probably ease tem- porarily the quarrel. between Peking .and Moscow as to whether Russta should get a seat at the meeting. Being only partly an Asian power, Russia's claims to an invitation are le- gitimately disputed
More important is the struz- gle between the two for con- verts. in Africa to their partic-. ular brands of communism. Algeria had come to be re-

kling him later
Further comment of a some- what offbeat natur: came. from a Canadian diplomat in Paris. He had heard that the Algerian financial condition. that agents were butchering goats in the countryside, selling the meat to pay civil servants.
Hsiung’s efforts were directed toward persuading the 13 Afro- Asian leaders fn London to go to Algierg for the summit meet-
‘ing despite the turmoil there.
He seems to have had no
as theNorth African outpost for Soviet. influence:
As one British newspaper puts it, they saw it as an out-, post ‘ifor the establishment of quasi - Communist regimes in neighboring territories. in much the same way as Cuba is sup- posed to provide a similar out- post for Latin America.”
The downfall of Ben Bella. in this view, is seen as an advan- tage to China, to which Bou- medienne is said to be more sympathetic
