The Colombo Plan

The fact that (‘auada's contrib- ution to the (‘olombo Plan this year may total about $100 million in grants and long term loans, as noted in these columns yesterday, should tend to make all of us more aware of what is being achieved, and why it. is so important t h at. the activities should be carried on. The 16th meeting of the Consulta- tive committee of the Plan is now in session in littlltillll, and this Is a good time to faniiliarire ourselv ves with the Objectives of what has been described as “the new Marshall Plan for Asia and the. Pacific.”

Perhaps that is an overstate- ment. But like the. Marshall Plan, the Colombo Plan is a self—help one in which members cooperate to de- velop their own economies and raise their standards of living. helped by the more advanced countries out.- aide the Asian region.

Through the Marshall Plan and the Organization for European Economic Cooperation that grew out of it, Western Europe with American aid rebuilt itself from the ruins of war into an affluent and increasingly nnilcd Society. The Colombo Plan so far has had more modest results, but these are quite aubs’rantial.

Founde three years after the Mar.»:hall Plan, in 1950, the. Colombo Plan was originally a British Com- mnnvvealth affair. Now there are 22 countries represented on the ministerial committee, including the United States, Japan, South Korea. the Philippines. Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. Most of the moneyneed- ed for the many development pro- grams of member countries has been raised from domestic resour~ oes, although aid naturally plays an important part.

But aid is provided by bilateral an'angmncnls instead of through central machinery. The. f‘nlombo Plan itself operates multilaterally only through technical-assistance bureaus. The total of aid provided by the (’iovclopori countries has, however, reached almost $14 bil- lion—was much as the United States provided for the Marshall Plan, but spread over twice as many years and nearly three times as many people.

The largest part of the Colombo aid has come from the United States, too, but. considerable contri- butions have also been made by Great Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Japan.

At. this week’s ministerial ses- sions the main questions on the agenda relate to problems of rural development. Canada is among the nations proposing to expand its pro- gram of food aid. We know of no better way in which it can contrib- ute to world peace and aecurity l at this time.

I ' , Needs Public Support The Ontario Water Resources Cmnmisaion has diacloaed that wat- or around the province's uranium mining district at Elliot Lake, in the Halibut-ton area of Eastern On- tario. has been ' contaminated by . radioactive mine wastes to a level ' ' flint could term a long-term radia-

House of Commons and why Prime Minister Pearson, who represents Algoma East, should have been theried directly as to the import of the commission statement. He seem- ed unaware of the pollution danger, but undertook to get in touch with provincial officials.

Another reaction to the com- mission statement was voiced by a resort owner in the area, who is a warden of Haliburlon (‘ounty and who is quoted as asking, in dismay: “Why didn't they keep it a secret and clean up the mess instead of ruining the business on the lake?”

This attitude, unfortunately, is not confined to interested parties in the Elliot Lake area, when warn- ings of water pollution are. sounded by qualified authorities. There is too often a tendency to disparage such reports, and even to resent them, as being injurious to busi- ness. The Ottawa .lournai asks, in this connection: "Where is the public support. for stiffer controls against allowing any kind of indus- trial waste to flow unchecked into our fresh waters?" Fresh or salt, the answer, in most cases, is that such support is lamentably lacking.

Ontario, in such matters, seems to be as far behind as the rest of us. According to the. Ottawa pap- er, the defilement of the Great Lakes, especially Lake Erie and Lake. Ontario, is going on uncheck. ed, with no public pressure in clean up these \vaterfronls. Even the Rideau River has been condemned for swimming purposes.

Perhaps we can show an ex- ample in this province by insisting on getting action, without delay, on the recently released report of the water pollution advisory com- mittee for the Charlottetown area.

Worth A Try

As every school teacher kriows. first graders are hard to keep un- der control. They twitch and twist continuously in their straight back- ed chairs and it is difficult to keep their attention focused on their work. The teacher's peace of mind suffers no loss than the cause of learning, but. heretofore nobody has thought of doing anything about it.

Now, however, as an eXperiment, an inspired Ohio teacher has install— ed rocking chairs for her first grade reading class. The children rock quietly instead of twitching. And-— mark this—they are about a month ahead of the normal reading level for this time of year.

The Milwaukee Journal, from which we glean this interesting item, suggests that the idea may have other implications. As, for instance, the next time the Beatles or other shaggy British imports twang into town. Rocking chairs in the auditorium might help to curb the banshee screeches, mass char- ges and lipstick throwing antics of teenage admirers. They might even be able to hear the music, such as it is.

But. surely an idea of this kind could be put to more important uaa. If it is a matter of getting people to stop acting like first graders, and to get on with their Work in- stead of wearing out everybody’s patience with their tantrums, why not apply the innovation where it is most needed?

In our House of Commons, we mean. What a difference it would make in the flag debate. for ex- ample, if the government had had the foresight, before tossing this hot potato into the arena, to fur- niah the whole chamber with com-

fortable rocking chairs! Under their

soothing influence—rocking gently buck and forth—the disputants would soon come to an amicable agreement. ~

Even if they dozed off before com- pletely burying the hatchet, the ten- sion would be cased and there would be a substantial gain to the taxpay- m from this investment.

EDITORIAL NOTES

As noted in our columns yester- day, Agriculture Minister Haya grieves about the state of the Con- servative party. “And,” comments rm exchange, “the, Liberal party grievea about him."

NEEDED IN OTTAWA, TOO

OTTAWA REPORT By

Patrick Nicholson

Government, Not Politics, ls Needed

For seven years Ottawa has I been concerned with politics l rather than with governm e. n l. Our political leaders the l parties have acted as ' ward — level vole - buying politie-

lans, rather than as nation- building statesmen. To put it more bluntly. they have been

jockeying for partisan advant- aze and their own welfare. ra- ther than strivmg for the good of Canada.

Against this shameful back- ground. which has made Can- ada the political laughing - stock of the world, it is a wel- come change at last to hear a sure voice calling for the set- ting of ground rules and guide- lines on behalf of the whole coun- try: the decision as to just what binding, long - term changes are realistic, necessary an d desirable: the discussion of a‘ realignment, not just of rcvcu- ue, but of spending responsibilil' ies as well; an end to the un- planned. uncoordinated ad hoc raiding: of the federal trea-

sury. without any quid pro mm 3 in terms of the diminution of fe— ‘ derail spending responsibilities." .

SPECIAL RECOGNITION

Sir,——Rcadcrs' of your paper will recall an article which ap- peared in The Guardian of Nov- ember 3, 1964 announcing a re- cognition given to a local author. Dr. Francis Bolger was present- ed with the Award of Merit by the American Association of State and Local History for his book entitled "Prince Edward Island and Confederation".

It has come to my attention that a aecond Island author has recently been honoured by the same Association. Dr. don Lea has received a Certificate of Commendation for his book en- titled "The Practice of Medicine in Prince Edward Island".

The American Association for State and Local' History was cs- tabllahed in 1940. It is the pro- fesslonal organization of state. provincial, and local historical agencies in the United States and Canada, representing both individuala and institution.

Republican Scramble

London Free Preaa

The Republican Party of the , United States is finding it diffi- . cult to heal its divisions without 3 first cutting the wound a t i ll ldeeper. Before there is reunifi- leation there must be a unifer.

nd the questions are who, and , Tow. l Richard M. Nixon has pro- l jected himself into the issue by attacking Governor N e l a o n Rockefeller. It may be coinci- dental that Mr. Nixon's conclus- ions about who has divided the party are centred around one who might be a principal con- tender for the leadership.

By leaving out of his criticism Governor George Romney of ‘Michigan who might also be

charged with non-support of the I

Goldwater-Miller ticket, Mr. Ni- xon seems to be making a gas- ture to both sides. But Mr. Rom- ney. who cannot be ignored. has told Mr. Nixon that this is , scarcely the way to party unity

to be saying "lonk. , let, me. try."
