Opposition Leader Diefenbaker ’ still knows how to catch the head- lines. and that’s what he did last week «hen he offered the govern-
‘ment. a “deal” on tts proposals for . nnnnnnitteamining the work of Parhanieyt.....
More authority is to be vested in-the Speaker. which makes it more im-
portant than ever that he should en- _
jov a non-partisan status. Mr. Diefen- baker savs his party wii! not oppose the changes if the Speaker's appotnt- Ment is made permanent The Conservative leader recalled that when in power he had offered the job of permanent Speaker of the to Stanley Knowles. NDP. mem- ber for Winnipeg North Centre, but Mr Knowles had declined the @ppointment. He added that though the had not always agreed with the Julires of the present incumbent. Speaker Alan Macnaughton. he had ‘the highest admiration for the man- er in which he has tried to do his duty with dignity and impartiality.
~—“fherefore. if Speaker Macnauzhton's @ppomtmedt was made permanent. * the Conservatives would undertake |
jot to run against him m future Glections in his Montreal riding. Mount Royal
~ The example of the permanency
of the Speakership in the British | House of Commons has frequently | been cited. but Mr- Diefenbaker's pro- posal actually went further than was |
the case in the last British general election. At that time Speaker Sir Harry Hvlten-Foster was opposed by both Liberal and Labor candidates. Thev did so despite the fact that Sir Harry's riding. the City of Westmin- ster. was regarded as the safest Tory seat in the country. Mr. Diefenbaker's offer looks generous by comparison. But Liberals will probably recall that
Mr. Macnauzhton. too. is in the happy .
Position of having the biggest ma-
jority in Canada. and that it would |
be extremely unlikely for him to suf- fer a defeat at the hands of the Tories if they did run against him. There is merit. indeed. in giving permanency to the Speaker's appoint-
turmoil completely. But the horse trading proposed br Mr. Diefenbaker doesn't really add up tw very much
in terms of practical politics. The | Government will accept his offer if |
it really is desirous of effecting this reform. If not. it is unlikely to be ‘nfluenced by the bait attached to it.
A Needed Industry
~- €hemical fertilizers are‘the means to restore starved soil to gnod health . and productive vigor, and Western Canadian potash 1s increasingly im- portant in the fertilizer field in con-
sequence. We cannot have too much of it. In the United States a shortage
is developinz. and there is dire need |
for large quantities in Asia. Africa
~ and South America In a vast deposit underlying southern Saskatchewan, there is said to be enough potash to mcet all the world s requirements for many years
to come. Premier Thatcher is natur- |
ally amxious to capitalize on such an asset. Since he took office a number of potash developments have started. ' and more are scheduled tn start in the near future. But because of fail- ure to obtain tax concessions from the federal government. three companies that had announted their intention of
beginning operations are now holding |
off. while another company is delay- _ing its plans of expansion.
Mr. Thatcher has reason to be angry with his Liberal friends at Ot- tawa All he wants them to do is ex- tend to potash developments that use the solution method of recovery— where the potash is pumped out of the ground in liquid form—the same Special tax write-offs given to potash mining developments. where the min-

| eral is taken out of the ground in ,
solid form
The difference appears to be that :
fn the first case. most of the equip- ment and machinery is above ground, while in the latter there ts more equipment below ground. Recently Finance Minister Gordon reaffirmed the federa! stand. after Mr. Thatcher had had some rough things to sav about Ottawa's treatment of Western
Canada. in general and potash solu- ©
tion: mines in particular Ottawa's attitude. savs Mr That- cher. is “discrimination of the worst
kind.” ‘Mr. Gordon claims. in defend- |
' ing Ottawa's decision. that there is a ~
, Yery difficult dividing line between
the kinds of development: and that to - do what Mr. Thatcher asks “would
create difficulties of another kid.”
But difficulties were made to be overcome. and perhaps thev wtll get straightened out in this case. At any rate Prime Minister Pearson. on his recent visit to Regina and after a _ talk with Premier Thatcher. promised * he would go back to Ottawa and talk to his colleagues about the matter. So it would seem that the issue is not closed irrevocably. No doubt he will suggest to Mr. Gordon that there is a tremendous market for what Saskat- chewan has in its potash deposits. and that f hagcle over the manner in which they are taken from the ground might not. after all. be in the inter- ests of the nation’s economy.

Thoreau’s Walden Pond
National Geographical Seciety _ .
A thousatid ponds may be as beautiful as Walden. but none rivals its special place in the American tradition
The small lake about two mul- es southeast of Concord, Mass- achusetts, where Henry David Thoreau built a hut and lived in seculsion is the Yankee answer to the palm-fringed isles of the South Pacific ¢
Thoreau's Walden is a place to find reality rather than to avoid it, however. It symbolizes —for those leading lives of “quiet desperation” m a noisy.
high-pressure society— a setting |
where man can find strength in quiet communion with nature
A placid glacial pond. Walden is fringed by oak, hickory, maple. and pine. Thoreau bor- rowed an ax and began to build his hut near its border on Inde- pendence Day. 1345. He was a 27-year-old Harvard § graduate and schoolteacher who cave up his profession because he didn't like to floc pupils. EMERSON PROVIDED SITE .
The land was owned by phil-
osopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, |
who employed Thoreau as a handyman. -- Emerson himself had often thought of erecting a rural study at Walden
“I went to the woods.”” said Thoreau. “because | wished to live deliberately. to front only the essential facts of life. and see. if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not. when 1 came to die. discover that I had not lived. I dug my cellar in the side of a hill sloping to the south. where a woodchuck had formerly dug his burrow.”
He invited friends to help Taise the roof of the house. They were a distinguished group of laborers — Emerson: Bronson Alcott, the father of Louisa Mae

The cabin cost $28.12. Nearly four doliars went for nails, but Thoreau was no expert with a hammer When the site of his cabin was excavated a few years ago. hundreds of bent nails were found
His furniture consisted of “a bed, a table. a desk. three chairs, a looking glass three in- ches in diameter. a pair of tongs and andirons. a kettle, a skillet. and a frying pan, a dipper. a washbow!. two knives and forks, three plates. one.cup, one spoon, a jug for oil. a jug for molasses.
