‘The Great Opportunity

News that the first contract has been awarded in the development of our $148-million causeway-b rig g e- tunnel link with the mainland and that work will start immediately has been followed by news of a New Brunswick labor union protest over the manner in which the contract was awarded. At this distance we cannot assess the merits of the complaint, but we do hope that no time will be lost in dealing with it.

The project is far too important for that. It has finally passed the planning stages, after first having undergone years of exhaustive in- quiry as to its feasibility from every angle. What we expect now is action. Nor can we emphasize too strongly that it is an undertaking for which both the major parties can justifiably claim credit. There are definite com- mitments on both sides, and the elec- tion next Monday will not alter this fact in the least. We have dealt with this point so often that it is unneces- sary, surely, to go over the same ground again.

: But it is important to realize that we can look forward to the project’s completion within a few years, and to the beginning of a new era in our transportation history which will pre- sent problems as well as magnificent

“opportunities, for which we. should-

now be planning with all the thor- oughness at our command.

- The fact that the causeway will provide for railway as well as auto- mobile traffic is of cardinal import-

ance to.our shippers, who are prac-__

tically unanimous in expressing their appreciation on this score. There seems no dispute, either, as to the great opportunities the- project will 4fford for industrial expansion.

; THE OTHER SIDE—We believe, too, that it will be of immeasurable

we are aware that spokesmen for the industry have expressed grave doubts im this regard. It is fitting that we should face their: objections frankly, with a-view to resolving them in. the interests of all concerned.

- It has been said, for example, that the causeway will destroy our dis- tinctive Island character and flavor; that wealthy outsiders will buy up choice sites for summer homes, shut- ting us out from our own beaches; that we may, indeed, become another Coney Island, with our roadsides and resorts turned into a jungle of atro- cious billboards, -hot-dog stands’ and

ukebox joints that will not only fail tp attract the right kind of tourists but “turn them away in droves.”

: We believe these dire warnings to be unjustified. But they have been sincerely expressed, and they do raise 4 point which we would be unwise to

snore. Beauty spots have been de-

ced by being over-commercialized th this manner in other parts of the epntinent. Elsewhere wiser planning prevented this kind of exploita- nm. It is our responsibility to see t we take the long-range view of the problem. Certainly ‘we don’t want oug fair frovince to be exploited by land bbers and highway hucksters. And

ation could be of great service fere, in proposing concrete measures » restrict such abuses, based on the ence in other tourist centres, nd presenting them without delay » our provincial government.

TIME TO BEGIN—These propos- ls should be prepared and presented

- benefit to our tourist industry; but

| the responsibility is ours to see that

planning an invasion, will have dug themselves in before then. We have no doubt that the government would

welcome any constructive proposals |

to circumvent.this sort of thing, and | those engaged in our tourist industry are in the best position to make sug- gestions along this line.

The major fact to be faced is that we are getting our causeway, and that

we use it to the greatest possible ad- vantage. Which means, of course, not only to our advancement industrially and commercially, but to the enrich- ment—not the degradation—of" our natural charms and way of life. Of course we can measure up to this challenge, if we really try!

Slick Examples:

Large-size advertisements‘al] over Canada explain the benefits that the Canada Pension Plan will confer ‘on individual Canadians of different ages and circumstances. It is Liberal propaganda, but the taxpayers are paying for it—to the tune, it is said of some two million dollars. The ad- vertisements are misleading in that, while purporting to be comprehensive and enlightening, they leave import- ant matters unexplained.

For example, they devote no space’

to explaining the benefits the Plan will confer on those unfortunate workers who have no steady employ- ers to match their contributions to the fund and whose own earnings are so small and so uncertain that they can’t make such payments them- selves. These people are certain to be among those whose need for pen- sions will be the greatest, but they seem, like our older citizens, to have been entirely forgotten.

Nor is anything said in the ad- vertisements about small employers who will be compelled to contribute to the pension fund on behalf of each of their employees, while they may not be able to pay anything toward pensions for themselves.

The Printed Word, an Ontario publication, makes some g 0 0 d'sug- gestions in this regard. What the people want to know and what the advertisements should explain, it says, are these:

(1) What benefits will the Pension Plan confer on them above the bene- fits they are already entitled to under existing legislation? (2) Are these promised benefits to be in proportion to the contributions that each recip- ient will have made to the Plan? (3) Will the proposed payroll deduction of 1.8 per cent- fromthe workers’ wages plus the equal amounts to be exacted. fromthe employers, be suf- ficient to cover the entire cost of the Plan and, if not, where does the gov- ernment expect to get the money to pay the resulting deficits? (4) What

“ ALTOGETHER NOW--ONCE MORE”

“WORLD GAINS 59 NATIONS

More Than A Billion People Since War

The world has gained 5@ inde- pendent nations and more than a billion people since World War Il ended 20 years ago.

There are now 135 independent states and 3.3 billion people in / the world. Asia had the lion’s share of the population increase; its numbers have grown by 553 million.

But Africa led in new coun- tries— 38 in all. In the past dec- ade, ferment in Africa spawned one nation after another, reach- ing a peak in 1960 when 17 new African nations appeared.

_ The three most ¢recent addi- tos to the family of nations are Gambia; ‘the Maldive Islands, and Singapore.

SMALLEST AFRICAN NATION

Gambia, a former British col- ony and protectorate in west Af- rica, became a sovereign coun- try on February 18, 1965. With an atea of only 4,004 square mil- es anda population of. 330,000, Gambia ig Africa’s smallest country, both in size and popula- tion. The capital, Bathurst, has an estimated population of 29,- 000.

The Maldive Islands a sun-

drenched archipelago in the In-

dian Ocean 450 miles southwest of Ceylon, became an independ-

compensation does the Plan contem- plate for the legions of unfortunates who will not be able to maintain throughout their lifetime the dues that must be paid to keep their claims in good standing? . = After all, everybody is paying, in taxes, for these advertisements. They should be full and lucid in their ex- planations—not slick examples of government salesmanship.

Alarming Increase

The federal governmentinsists | that dealing with bankruptcies is a provincial responsibility. But the act | under which the provinces operate is — a_federal statute, and the need for_| tightening its provisions has become increasingly apparent during the past | year. According to Percy J. Hough- | ton, manager of the Canadian Credit | Men’s Association, bankruptcies in | Canada this year will reach a record total figure more than $300 million. | Last year the figure was over $207 million, an increase of $14 million | over 1963. we | » Mr. Houghton says his organiza- tion, with the full backing of business- men across the country, has submitted a brief to five ministers of justice in Ottawa. “It is just gathering dust,” he adds. The brief urges that the in- vestigation and prosecution of bank- ruptcy cases be carried out by the federal department of justice.

That seems to be the last thing Ottawa wants to do. Some Liberal spokesmen have accused their oppon- ents of resorting to “‘scandal-monger- ing” when they raised the subject in the current election campaign. Per- haps, when the next Parliament meets, there will be a realistic attempt to deal with this problem. In the meantime it is cattsing nation-wide concern in business circles.

This means that thee Prime Minister will have 38 days after the Nov. 8 election to construct “his Cabinet. It will also give members time to get used to the magic letters MP after their names, before getting down to the serious job, we hope, of earn- ing their $18,000 a year salary.
