‘Needs More...

| Mandoais from a benevolent ‘gov. ernment: apparently do not in them- , selves eradicate poverty. For instance, over the past three decades the Unit- ed States have spent $100,000, 000,- 000 on. their welfare” system. : Despite all the welfare cheques, . there are'still some nine million fam- ilies, averaging’ four persons per hqusehold, ‘who are obliged to get . along on an annual cash income of around $1,800 for each family, that "4s, about $150 a month.

. These discouraging © figures are provided by the assistant director of: Washington’s task force charged with waging the war on poverty. While he admits the failure of the welfare scheme to this point, he is optimistic that perhaps more realistic spending of. government funds can in the fu- ture change the picture considerably. What is needed are well thought out programs to get to the source of pov- erty and correct the conditions that . are responsibile, whether by retain-

i ing schemes or by developing small- : i business or by incentives:o.job creat- ing enterprises on the. local level. } There is an awakening public in- | terest in participation in the war a*ainst poverty. In many parts of the United States, citizens organizations have begun to clamor ‘for a voice in deciding how the government funds. ’. for the war against poverty are to be spent on the local level. It has been said more than once that government planners are unimaginative and tend : to; ‘generalize too much. The. private Citizens have their own ideas of -_ waging the war in their own familiar theatre of operations and require only thé necessary funds to put their pro- ha into action..." ~~ -Hyman- Bookbi ditector, of the Office of Economic

official ‘says that Washington fs mov ing already in the right direction. Last year the appropriation tr the war: “on poverty was $768 million... This 500,000,000. 2-2 a7” The peat: thing is that the US.-

administration is making this. large commitmént despité the exigencies of the war it is fighting in Viet Nam, despite the demands of the foreign aid program and in spite of what is. needed .elsewhere on the. economic ' front at home. re Most: important ingredient, how- “ever, is that the people of the United States mus be in favor of complete dedication to stamping out ‘the wor- ries and handicaps of the poor. What Mr: Bookbinder has-had to say should he of universal interest here now that Canada is girding for a similar way on poverty. Perhaps we can_ profit from-the earlier campaign defeats of our neighbors and avoid such amush-

es and reverses in planning our own’ strategy and.deployment of funds and troops.

Humphrey Seaake Out

The “‘war-on poverty” hasn't been going too well in the United States. ‘It hasn’t, indeed, been making any . $ensafional progress in this ceuntry - either. But we’ haven't heard any leading. Canadian politician speak out about. it in the blunt manner that U.S. Vice-President Hubert Humph- rey did the~other day in New Or- leans. -It was indeed a scarifying | speech he made, with no holds bar- -Tred. Throwing away his prepared text; he started off by saying. that he might lead- “a mighty good revolt” - if, like millions of black Americans, he had to live in a city ghetto with

rats nibbling at his children’s: feet. Mr. Humphrey. warned that’ un-- less the urban poor -get rent sub- sidies s0bit: from a rather reluctant | ; Congress, “we will have open viol-~ énce in-every-major-city and _coun- ty in America.” Then, scorning ‘at- tempts by authorities-in Chicago and © Cleveland to stem. Negro ‘unrest, he declared: “It’s time for government officials - to recognize the ' National Guard is no arswer. to fhe problem: _of the slums.” -

A Washington commentator notes that Mr. Humphrey is often accused -of indulging in hyperbole; but on this. occasion he was talking straight. What he said underlined the admin- istration’s belated Tecognition that. it faces two -guerrilla wars-—one in Viet Nam, the other in the great cities of | America. And the Viet Nam “war could be. over before the domestic one unless the root causes are dealt with soon, and on a massive scale.

The Johnson government is cred- ited with making a fair start with the war on:poverty and the job corps, which cost American taxpayers more than $2 billion a yeaf. Yet the civil rights. leaders insist that. it will cost $100 billion over 10 or 15 years to ‘clean up the ghettoes, and ‘eliminate the poverty, ignorance and despera- tion on which the black extremists are now capitalizing. °

~ To those who argue that this is a fantastic sum, its proponents point out that estimates of Viet Nam costs “vary between $1.5 billion and $2 bil- lion a month. Viet Nam could cost

Many thinking Canadians have | long been unhappy — as Parlia-, | ment Hill is well. aware —. about the drift of our country, about

‘in many fields, and about the

“The motive of those. who are damaging .our country may be “otherwise, but the effect is exactly as if Communists -were demoralizing the country for a take-over: ridicule the- family, mock religion, scoff at* our con- _Stitutional institutions, ignore the law, give the police a bad name,, - belittle persona] morality, and encourage the use_of.such_anti- -social artifacts as,narcotics, li-. -quér and the pill.

*. Inthe consequent 1 laise, there has been widespread talk about the-need to create a new _ nationwide — leadership movement, to which all men and “women of Soodwill would tend their. support. Call this. a. politi- cal party ff you’ like, it ‘would be a party -whose platform is to

tain Canadianism; to strengthen Canadian sovereignty: to pro- tect the freedom of the individ- ual; to make Canada the best | place in the’ world in which to

be.

. So on Parliament Hill there fs | talk of such a movement, possi- | bly called The Confederation Party. Confederation Clubs have |

regularly, in many cities. It -would.-bring French and Eng- _lish-speaking together in under- standing, and help all Canadians | to move forward together to- ‘wards the great future which could be ours, and which Sir Wilfrid Laurier promised us this century.

. This, would be Canadians’ an- swer to the failure of the two

$20 billion during the ‘next year alone. Surely, the leaders say, the country ip can afford $100 billion over the next 15 years to win the 6ther war.

_.. ‘We. haven’t.a- problem of. that . Magnitude in Canada, of course.: But perhaps we may have to revise our. estimates on what ‘0 our own “war on poverty” should be costing if we really mean to wage it effectively. .

Figures-issued by the Meat Pack- -ers’ Council of Can/ada. show Canad- | ians eat an average of 140 pounds: ‘each of beef and veal, pork, mutton.- and lamb per year. Thus puts us be- hind New Zealanders at 240 pounds; . Australians at 219; Argentinians, 216; Uruguayans, 203;.and Americans, 169. The British are right behind us at 139, the French follow with 132, the Danes, 130 and the Swiss, 116.
