Round & Round Again
WC havc liccn :issurcd again—— this time by Works Minister Dcs- chatelets—that “the economic and engineering feasibility of the pro- posed causeway to Prince Edward Is- land has been established hcyoiid reasonable doubt." Those. who miss- ed the same announcement two and a half years ago by l‘rimc Minister Diefenbaker. and its re c 0 iii cor- roboration by Transport Minister Pickersgill. will have no excuse now for not knowing what Mr. )Iacquar- l‘ie’s questions as to what the. Gov-
ernment is doing in this matter are all about.
Mr. Desihalolets also said—once again—that the Government “giving active. consideration to the project." Those who didn‘t get the earlier assurances ‘o the same cf- fect can now no longer complain that they haven't been brought up to date on the news!
They were also informed, if they didn't know it before. that. Mr. Pickcl'sgill is ".l grout prophet." If HE said he hoped the causeway construction. \iould start. in 1965— as Mr. Deschaielets noted The Guar- dian had quoted his cabinet col- league as h :i v i n g said in Monta- gue last F riday—thcn be. Mr. Deschatclcls. cvidcntly felt that it would he painting the lily for him to add anything more. Except to say (was it in sarcasm or pious affirma- tion'Pli “Lot us hope that he is right.“
Seeing that. it 3 Mr. Dcschate— lets and not Mr. Pickersgill who is the responsible minister in this case. his statement. must. have impres.:- ed the. least curious of the members as leaving a good deal to be desired. Mr. Macquarrie complained. w i t h some justice. that there. was still “confusion and uncertainty" about whether the causmvay would be built. and whrn. But. that's the way Mr. Deschatclets left it. pretty much in Mr. Pickei'sgill's lap.
What. of our provincial repre- sentative In the cabinet. Mr. Mac- Naught'.’ Mr. Macquarrie quoted HIM as saying. in Time magazine. that. construction would start—not in 196.5 but in 1966. But the Works Minister refused to be. drawn on this score. Perhaps he felt that he had said too much already.
Well. at. least he. didn't. rank Mr. MacNaught among the. major prophets. as he. did Mr. Pickersgilll There may be something in that. We’ll take. what consolation we can out of it. hoping that the minister's hope in the hopeful prognostication Of the crystal-gazing member for Bonavista-Twillingati: will not prove to have been in vain.
Al Glacier Speed
At Geneva. reports a New York Times correspondent. the Kennedy Round of tariff negotiations is pro- ceeding “with the speed of an Al- pine glacier." Which means that the motion. if it can be called that. is not very noticeable. Yet it must be remembered that these negotiations on world trade are the biggest. that have ever been attempted. More countries are involved and more. trade is involved than ever before. Already the negotiations have been under way for 18 months. But last week. for the first. time. they at- tempted to get down to brass tacks.
"The broad scheme In to produce 3 big cud general reduction in all trndc barriers. The negotiations are in three parts—industrial. agricul- turnl and I special deal for under- dcnlop'od countries. Nothing hu bum W yet on agriculture m lam dickcrlnz. and the

problems of the underdeveloped. who demand and deserve a better chance to sell in rich countries but who are economically incapable of offering a reciprocal deal in exchange.
The industrial part is where the most has been accomplished. and it is not much. The general proposition is that there shall be one big tariff cut across the board. Most of the major countries want it to be a 50 per cent cut. but the European Common Market countries, particu- larly France and Italy. are not so sure. Thus this point stands un- decided.
The essential character of the whole procedure is its looseness. Everything is tested. tried. debat- ed; hilt nothing is decided. In the end. when every angle has been ex- hausted. a deal will be made—or not. The deal would not come before the middle of next year at the very earliest. but it is impossible to pre- dict today whether it will come at all. It depends on what motivates the various participating countries at the vital moment.
To some extent. it is the atti- tudes of the United States and the Common Market that. really count. They are. so much the dominant parties in world trade that others are almost forced to follow the tune that they call. To the extent that France dominates the Common Market. this could be boiled down to another confrontation between Paris and Washington.
Bill thcre arc roughly 50 other countries. including Canada, which have vital economic stakes in the negotiations. Every country expects to gain from the outcome. and this itself is a strong force.
The Personal Touch
The Winnipeg Free Press has some caustic comments on the lat- est example of the solicitude borne by the Department of National Revenue towards the. Canadian tax- payers. Henceforth. according to the. minister of this department. we will not have to depend on the. whims and vagaries of employers in our income tax forms each year. No indeed. The department itself is going to mail our names and last known addresses on them; plus yet another number—this one for iden-
tification within the. department. When we. get these "personalized returns” we are to put. them "safe-
ly away" until we have our T4 slips and other documents.
“Just what the government hopes to accomplish by this homey. folksy approach." says the Winni- peg paper. “is hard to see. It could he a scheme to reduce the Pest Of- fice Department’s deficit—millions more letters to be mailed. But no- body is going to fill out his income tax forms with any greater enthus- iasm, just because the department made sure he got them personally. This is one. instance where the per- sonal touch—and taxpayers re touched for plenty—has little ap- peal.”
But aren‘t we going to get brand-new numbers out of this deal, and aren't they going to be passed out in an even-handed manner? The taxpayer making just enough to get by on will likely have just as big a number as the multimillionaire. It will look just as important when it goes into the computer. too. That’s striking a blow for democ- racy. isn't it? Why does our Winni- peg contemporary keep complain- ing all the time?

Political leaders in the British Caribbean are said tube making a fresh start on the problem of forming a West. Indies federation. As things shape up now. the new alliance would embrace the islands of Barbados. Antigua. Dominica. Monserrat. St. Kitts. St. Lucia and St. Vincent. Grenada may yet join the team but. so far. prefers af- filiation with Trinidad. The initial try at merger foundered when Jamaica and Trinidad decided they would be better off alone. Whether a new alliance can succeed with- out these two islands is doubted by some observers. Also. there Is no indication that the leaders who are now reviving the federation idea have any real intention of relin- quishing their authority.

Bill the Indonesian Gcnerai's claim is nevertheless important. It. Indicates that. only weeks aft- er China‘s explosion of an atom- ic bomb. these fearful weapons are starting to become symbols of status and national pride In the underdeveloped countries. Indonesia should perhaps not be blamed too much. It is only following a Western and C 0 sn- munlai example.
Still, the process must condemned. China has done it. Indonesia in making noises. The Indian government has pledged It will not build atomic bombs. but some prominent Indians have nevertheless begun calling for them. Who will be next?
' The incredible thing is that. Ill so far as these countries have nuclear establishments. ill e a e have usually been vided by I the West or‘ by Rulsia.

l Role Of Aged i
In Culture
By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen .
The trouble with growing old is that you feel so young. This is hard on the ego. especially when the oldster follows his instincts instead of sticking to reality. To paraphrase the Bible. we might add. “The mind is willing but the flesh is weak."
Aging seldom alters basic drives. and the elderly may be- come unhappy when they cannot satisfy them. The difficulty be- gins when they refuse to accept the limitations the years bring. such as loss of ell-ordination. flexibility. speed aild libido. In addition. our culture is youth-wr- iented. which may depress or frustrate those along in years. The situation becomes mor complicated when these factors act as a psychological hazard that impairs performance.
In the cast. too much attention was paid to the physical and ma- terialistic needs of the aged while their ego or self- image was neglected. This did not. ap- pear to bother those who wel-
