PAGE 4 sarranav. Earrings As We Were We now have. assurance from

the Federal Government that there Will be no increase in our car ferry fares this year As to whether such an increase was in the offing. we have apparently contradictory state- ments from Solicitor General Mac- Nallg'ht. our representative in the Federal Cabinet, and Premier Shaw who first called attention to the subject, in the Legislature. “Appar- ently” contradictory, we say. for reasons noted below.

Yesterday the Premier rose to take exception to Mr. )lacNaught's denial that the (‘NR was planning to raise these fares. He had learned unofficially. but authentically. that Northumberland Ferries Limited and the Canadian National Rail- ways had both instructed to raise their ferry charges on vehic- les and P;l:~5‘€ll,L"Cl’S. effective May 1. His information was that the Transport Department had issued these instructions. and that there was a meeting in Moncton on March 10 between the. representatives of the operating companies to discuss h0w they should handle the. matter.

The impression we. got from the. statement previouslv made by the. Premier was that the CNR was ask- ing for this increase—a request which we regarded as a case. of "adding insult. to lllJlll’Y." since. the operating Costs of our car ferries is no concern whatever of the railway management. We sought to empha- size. also. that the. Federal Govern- ment. as the responsible body. would be better employed in reducing than in raising the fares on this service. since under the. British North America Act it is. in effect. an inter- proy'incial highway. on which the charges are already considerably higher than the cost of moving traffic over the equivalent mileage on land.

We note. that Mr. MacNaught. in stating that. there would be. no increase in fares. said he was as- sured the. ("NR had neither made such a request nor intended to do so. He branded such reports as “un- founded and untrue."

Premier Shaw. in his amplified statement yesterday. cited the, Transport Department—not the CNR—as the prime mover in the matter. and read a reply he had re- ceived from Transport Minister Pickersgill. assuring him that “im- mediate steps would be taken to amend the regulations providing for the increase.“

This letter. we. suggest. is con- clusive evidence. that the. rate boost, was definitely being planned. though not at the CNR‘s request. and that. it was called off in view of the strong protests in our Legislature and, in the press.

Mr. Pickersgill we regard as a friend of this Province. and it may well have been his l'uireaucrats who thought up this bright idea. without. consulting him in the mat- ter. In any case. it is settled now.

Unprecedented Powers

The unprecedented of investigation which the Ontario Po- lice Commission requcsted of the Ontario Legislature would be a matter. primarily. for that august body; but indirectly it would be of concern to us all. As Canadians. we must have rubbed our eyes on read- ing the news item about it yester- day.

The new powers would make the Commission responsible to no one for its actions. Under them it. could subpoena any persons it feels may have information regarding organiz-

l-‘ortunatcly. public reaction has been so prompt and unmistakable that Premier Robavts has inter- vened with the assurance that the measure be “completely re- examined" the Legislature's committee on legal bills. There is a. demand now for the Attorney lien- resignation.

Quebec Windfall

It's an ill wind that doesn't bring federal benefits to Quebec these days. and that goes for the budget Finance Minister Gordon brought. down on Monday. Indeed. it. is ex- pected to provide a windfall of strontium fnr the Quebec govern- ment. through the provision for ex. tending family allowances to cover 16 and 17-year-old students.

will by

Cl'ul's

individual families in Quebec. probably wru‘t get any more than they‘re getting right since Quebec has been paving the extend- ed allowances since Iflt’il—the. only province in ('anarla to do so. Last. year it cost. the. Quebec government. some 311.000.000 to foot the. bill. This year's budget. estimates place the price tag at 314.000.000.

It ts considered highly unlikely that the individual taxpayer will suddenly find himself receiving these benefit both from Quebec and Ottawa. It is expected. rather. that the province will work out some agreement which will shift the fin- ancial burden for the. allowances over to the. federal authorities.

As noted in the Montreal Gazette. there is a recent precedent, for such a move. When the. Federal Government raised the old—age pen- sion to 375 monthly. Quebec and several provinces immediately cut back on the supplementary pensions they pay to needy aged by a like amount. In effect. there. was no change in the amount of the money many pensioners received. only a switch in the financial burden.

That is what could happen In this case. It is noted that while Mr. Gordon didn't spell out. precise details of Ottawa's plan on Monday. it appeared to follow closely along the lines of the Quebec system.

For Japanese Chi dren

Nearly every school child in Japan. we, note from 3 Tokyo bul- letin. takes a school-sponsored trip during the. year, the trip lasting from two days up to a full week. Farm children go to the cities. children from the mountains go to the seaside and vice versa- Over- night stops are made at hotels and inns and transportation companies and hotel operators go out of their way to make the tours convenient and inexpensive.

It. seems like a grand idea. And now these, wonderful tours for school children have been facilitated by the construction of a special train built to meet. the demands of stud- ents.

Electric powered. the train is built in tw‘o for maximum carrying capacity and has extra large Windows for the children to see through. Each coach has n speedometer Io satisfy childish curiosity, and there are special quar- ters for teachers as well as a medical section.

Many people in Manitoba. seem to be agreed that Premier Charles Dufferin Roblin is a con— tender — if not; the heir apparent —- to replace John Diefenbaker. One of the exceptions. how- ever, is Roblin himself. “I've plenty of work right; here in Manitoba, I’m staying right here." This answer would be more convincing if Roblin were less of a political animal, less successful at the political game, or less interested in doing the things that can be done only by the man holding the political reins.
