In The Same Boat The state of our provincial fin- ances is not a matter for either , satisfaction or complacency. and :1 Opposition Leader Matheson was = following a sound tradition by warning. as he did on Saturday. of the dangers ahead. If he placed the ‘ emphasis on improper administra- tive practices rather than on, neg- lect of our legitimate fiscal needs by a government of his own party stripe at Ottawa. that. too. was not unprecedented. Who ever heard of an Opposition leader failing to view with alarm the practices of his op- ponents in pou'er'.’

We hasten to add that we re gard Mr. Matheson's warnings as

'.' being quite sincerely motivated. and deserving of careful study and

. attention. But we question whether the contrast he draws between the situation now and when his own 'government, was in power is not

_.colored by political thinking. For one thing. it. fails to take stock of .the great increase in capital invest- ment in the province in recent years. both in public works and new industry. There may be grounds for criticising some of the expenditures involved in these activities. but that is a different. matter.

As for the danger of being headed for a "commission govern- ment." how would such a curb on our provincial independence come about? Who would make the. decis- ion and appoint the commissioners? If it's a matter of being unable to

pay our bills. would Ottawa be in ' any position to straighten us out?

The federal debt, will reach about $15 billion by the year‘s end. and interest charges alone Will cost the taxpayers about $1 billion annually. That is to say. every man. woman and child in Canada must pay an average of some $50 a year to keep the wolf from Ottawa's door. A typical Canadian family of four persons (including. of course. our ' own families in this hard-pressed province) will contribute just under $17 per month to the overhead of the federal mortgage.

In addition. of course. there are the provincial and municipal mort- gages to be supported. Altogether. the expenditures on these three levels will amount. across Canada. to almost $12 billion this year: and with few exceptions they will repre- ‘ sent debt increases because the

revenues can't meet the expenses.

Mr. Walter Gordon used to point

I with alarm to the implications of 5 .this dangerous trend. and the need for reversing it before we all ran on the rocks. But. his own budget- ary efforts have done little. if any- thing. to lm prove the situation pince he became finance minister Canada.

Mr. Hays, Too? ‘ ’ According to a speaker at. the ‘ .v-iﬂonchichinl Conference in Ontario | week. whom we had occasion Jimmie Saturday.

I... _..

which series a deﬁnition of the term by no less an authority than the Hon. Harry Hays. agriculture minister in Mr. Pearson's cabinet. It seems that Mr. Haya ha been trying to sweep some of the oobweba out of his department. and is find- ing the sweeping to be a lot heavier than he had expected. Two things. he says. have been slowing him down: the political patronage prob- lem. and “The Establishment.”

“‘The Establishment."' it seems. is the Civil Service. Not the individ- ual civil servant. mind you. Not even civil servants collectively. But rather the whole big federal staff apparatus and the way it does busi- ness.

Taking over his department, Mr. Hays found that certain people had grown like moss to their particular divisions or branches. He wanted what he thought would be a'"fresh approach” to a lot of jobs in a. lot of places across the country. includ- ing. of course. the headquarters establishment in the capital. “But you know what I’ve discovered?” he asks. still a bit baffled. "You know what I've got to do before I transfer th e s e people? Promote them!" Under Civil Service regula- tions. promotion is mandatory on transfer.

"That's just the pressure of ‘The Establishment’." reports the Jour- nal in a further quote from Mr. Hays: “insisting that you must promote before you transfer. So up they go in pay and status when sometimes they’re really c o m in g down in standing and responsibility."

The minister had better watch out. or he'll find himself being “dis- credited” along with Mr. Diefen- baker in this important quarter.

Lessons For Montreal

The difficulties of operating a world‘s fair are many. and officials directing the planning of Montreal‘s "Expo '67“ should perhaps be grate- ful for the lessons that are being provided in the operation of the big fair in New York this year. it is a tremendous spectacle. and will no doubt have 2; degrees of success. But the attendance fo re c a s t of 248.000 visitors a day is proving a great overestimate. N e a r l y a hundred days have passed since the opening. and so far the visitors have arrived at no more. than 149,000 a day.

One of the Consequences of plac- ing the attendance estimates too high is that. the revenues have fallen below expectations. This situation is made all the more ag- gravating by the fact that the costs of b u i l d i n g and maintaining the pavilions have exceeded expectations.

Another problem—and this should seriously concern Montreal —-has been the difficulties in reach- ing the fair grounds in New York by car. An article in Canadian Busi- ness. the magazine published by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. says of the fair grounds: "Difficult to reach by car? Impossibiel”.

Still another problem that Mont- real must watch. suggests the Montreal Gazette. is over-charging. Everything at the New York grounds from hot dogs to souvenir hats is felt to be too high. And meals cost so much that many visitors are taking picnic lunches. While some of the pavilions are free. and crowd- ed. most are charging admission. or offering products for sale.

One of the most serious troubles confronting the New York fair is the rioting and violence in the city. intensified by the recent outbreaks in Harlem. Disturbances have taken place on the fair grounds them- selves. especially outaide the pavil- ions of most of the southern states. In some cases the demonstrators have been roughly handled by the fair's police. with unpleasant scenes for visitors to witness. "Montreal." suggests The Gazette. "has also to take note that visitors are not at- tracted by alarms and demonstra- tions." 7

The New York World's Fair is not official. as Montreal's will be in 1967. but there are general similarities in the problems of management that will undoubtedly repay study. And. of course. it is not just Montreal and the province of Quebec that are concerned in the success of Expo '87. The Federal Government is heavily Committed as wall.

OTTAWA REPORT

Airs Bitter Beet About Press Gallery

Patrick Nicholaon’l guest columnist today is Dr. Guy Marcoux. Social Credit MP for Quebec - Montmorency.

The House of Commons has long been witnessing a consid- erable w a sle o time. Many Opposition MPs have seen fit to criticize the government for its lack of procedural organiza- tion and know-how. But the Prime Minister sees the 013130» aition as the source of all evila. even charging it with systema- tic obswuction.

The Parliam o n t ary cor- respondents appear, generally speaking. to be scandalized al the fact that. according to them. the MR are too well paid ($12.- 000 a y e a r plus $6.000 for ex- pensesi and are losing too much i l me in the Chamber They even suggest that. it. is more costly when Parliament sits for longer periods. This is absolutely false. MP: are paid monthly. whether Parliament la in session or not; so are the u- creiarics. That means tlinl whe- ther or not Parliament adjourn: for Christmas. Easter or the summer has no bearing what- soever on the taxpayer's al- ready burdensome budget.

Here is how things go in wow :

Al the opening of each day‘s sitting in the House comes the oral question period: no need to say that one and all are alien. ding.

This means that. iii marry cases correspond- ents the mselvea create lha topics in e y want in be talked about in the House.

in other words. one could say that in general the reporters themselves determine the be- haviour of many MP3 during the question period. since they report ior not) what they like (or not).

When the question period is over. all the journalism (with very few exceptions) quit their reserved gallery and ride lull gallop to their ofﬁces when they lcouche the newa that they consider worthy of publica- tion.

lvcm’s TV Evolution

Milwaukee Journal

The American television view- er who likes be about his diet of situation comedies. klddy shows with 30 year old on repetitious westerns and quiz ahowa may tter off than his Russian counterpart.

Enzo Bciliza. an Italian critic, concludes that. Soviet TV usual- ly is very dull indeed and often childish. As translated in Atlas magazine. he offers this sampla of Russian TV fare:

It. may include violent old mo- vies about war and the revolu- tion: short films glorifying pro- duction. "complete with tractors and ears of corn": grim faced' lingers of 19m century ballads who seem about to nip the tele- viewer‘s nose." and crowds of Young Pioneers in white shirts omeing in a government'a achievements.

But changes are creeping into the menu. Belliza points out.

The most. popular gram. Goluboy is strangely at odds with most TV offerings and basically non-pol- llical. It features interviews with celebrities from the artis- tic. theatrical and c u 1 t u r a Z worlds in the setting of an im aginary cafe. The e v e n i n g "often with champagne and a swirling waltz danced by women in gleaming silver lame gowns and men in white lie and iails." a' sort of Soviet flash- back to the Fred Astaire-Ging- er Rogers dance spectaculars of three decades ago.

If this electronic evolution- continuea. Russian viewers one day may be privileged to nib- ble on more consistently appel- izlng fare. perhaps interspersed widi commercials glorifying gli- diea. mouthwash and aspirin aa wall as the stile.

of "smelling" and ascertaining l whether the MP5 are assiduaua or not!

But you Will ask me how they can report a speech delivered by an MP when they are not in the Chamber. The trick ll very easy; most of the report ers read the uncorrected lran~ script by the offic i ai "H a n sard" reporters. They must act quickly and they aim o a: have to look ac r o a a the taxi diagonally. 1-! they are lmpi‘es sed with a passage. they might report. if out of context; if no- lhing catches their eye. nothing is sent for publication.

Yet many MP5 (much more for personal publicity iii a 1! otherwise) would exert l h e m. selves to say things that "will make the news". whic 3 things that will please the cor respondents. How often w no lice newsp a p e r I giving the first page to an MP who. under the influence of passion or... alcohol. performs ridicul- ous but unconvention ai dil- courses!

Yet these all unpm'tant' eon- } fcrences are usually held in p - ' vale. Decisions are made or in- ﬂuenced on lhe form of legisla- tion later to be put before the

ommons or the provincia hou- ses. but the public is told little or nothing about this process. . In Ottawa. for example. there i was a federal provincial confer- l ence of health ministers. One of I the major subjects for discuss.
