Time Wasting Won't Help An Ottawa report quotes “a nIIcleus of MPs, mostly Progressive Conservative with an occasional New Democrat." as saying privately that they are prepared to fight the current flag issue to a general elec- tion. None seems ready to ac- cept Prime Minister Pearson's challenge to propose a vote of non- confidence in thc minority Liber- algovernment on the issue, but they are prepared to mount what may ultimately become a filibuster against the resolution outlining the cabinet‘s choice of a flag design.

There is reason. it can be said, for the resentment many members may feel at the manner in which the Pearson Government. has forced this issue on the people of Canada. But we see little advantage to be gained from continuing the contro- versy, either in an election cam- paign which would result from a successful non-confidence vote. or in the tactics known as filibustering which are being demonstrated. just now. in anything but. a commend- able manner in the big republic to the south of us.

There, the U.S. senate is setting a record nobody has a right to be proud of. It has succeeded in wast- ing more time in endless discussion of civil rights than it has wasted at one time on any subject in its history. And the favorite delaying tactic of those opposed to the civil rights bill is the filibuster.

"Only two previous occasions have-approached the current talk- fest in length. One was the 55 day filibuster that brought the defeat of an attempt by President Wilson to get ratification of the treaty of Versailles. And back in 1846 the senate talked for two months on President Polk's plans for getting Britain out of Oregon. One senator who has probed into the matter lists 22 filibusters in American senatorial history—eight of them in civil rights fights.

A filibuster is staged for the purpose of preventing a vote on a particularly tuchy issue. It invol- ves a deliberate attempt to waste time and delay the nation’s busi- ness. in the hope of wearing down the opposing side by sheer exhaus- tion. It is not a tactic that Cana- dians are accustomed to, or that they are likely to view with any great enthusiasm. regardless of their views on the flag issue. It could do further disservice to the cause of national unity. which is of prime concern at. this time.

Let. dissenting members by all means express their views on this bubject. as strongly as parliamen- tary rules permit. But having done so. let them get on with the business for which Parliament was ‘p'ummoned. There is a lot. of it to be attended to. and time is running ut.

3 Sound APEC Proposals

‘ It is to be hoped. in view of the attention called to it at this week’s lMaritime Board of Trade conven- tion here, that Ottawa will recon- sider its present policy of offering fecal incentives to the establish- ent: of industry in various dealgnet» sections of the country. As point- out In a brief prepared by the Atlantic Provinces Ecommic Coun- ‘ul, this incentive policy to too nar- erlented. It is based on the . mans, Incentives The u Induce

Street '

aria tor special tax assistance. rme should be made effective for a per. iod of some ten years, after which present accelerated depreciation rates would apply.

It is also urged that considers.- tion be given to provision of an in- vestment allowance, to be made available to existing firms estab- lishing branch plants or undertaking expansion resulting in the creation of new employment. Also that the qualifing period in which manufact- uring or processing firms must establish in the area be extended to ten years.

It i AI‘EC‘s contention that. these special tax incentives can prove to be important inducements if made available to industries locat- ing anywhere in the Atlantic area. We are in full accord with this view. Certainly they are much more like- ly to put the area on its feet indus- trially than the proposal, now re- portedly being entertained at Ot- tawa by Labor Minister MacEachen. of giving assistance to unemploy- ed workers to find work in other parts of the country; a scheme which Mr. Heath Macquarrie, MP, has not inappropriately described as “a tiondonesque migration”—re- calling the royal commission report in which Mr. Gordon. now Finance Minister. had suggested something of this sort if there was not the necessary combination of resources in the Atlantic region to provide sub- stantial rise in living standards.

We trust that both Mr. Gordon and Mr. MacEachen are giving prayerful attention to the APEC proposals at this time. Especially to their application in this Prov- ince. which has been excluded en- tirely from the benefits accruing from their present investment, as- sistance policy.

HIS Passmg Mourned

The whole civilized world has rea- son to mourn the passing of India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It has been well said that while Gandhi was the spirit behind the mass movement that swept India to independence in 1947 it was Nehru, as its first government. leader. who had the difficult task of consolidat- ing independence. He lived not only to see his ideal become a reality, but, to achieve renown as one of th e truly great men of his time.

Western powers were often criti- cal of Nehru's foreign policy. but there was general recognition of the perilous course which he was called upon to steer in world pol- itics. His country has been des- cribed as forming a crazy quilt pat;- tern of cx-colonial areas, prince- doms and satrapics, and it was out of this chaos that he had to fash- ion order and democratic govern- ment. while safeguarding national interests abroad.

He believed that safety lay In non-alignment with either Soviet or western blocs, but in friendship for all. This course pr0ved difficult to follow with respect to the aggres- sive actions of Communist China, but it is significant that at no time did Nehru waver in his advocacy of Red China's right. to a seat in the world council of nations. The “peaceful coexistence" which Soviet Communists profess to preach was a cardinal point in the Indian lead- er's policy, and in his thinking, at all times. '

It is significant that as a student Nehru spent some years in England and became thoroughly at home in English and European ways. He also studied Marxism and Taoism, and paid several visits to Soviet Russia and to China. And. of course, he was a highly finished product of his own native culture as well. Truly a citizen of the world, if one can apply that dis- distinction to any national leader. A valiant champion. moreover, in the cause of world peace.

I For Glaucoma I By Dr. Theodore B. Van Dellen Pressure within the eyball is Increased In glaucoma. This disorder should be suspected when vision becomes blurred or smoky or colored halos are seen around lights. Glaucoma also must be thought of If eye paIn follows watching movies r an emotional upset.

Your sight might be saved some day by keeping these symptoms in mind. The pr blem in glaucoma is not in dl- agnoals or treatment: it lies with the victim who fails to seek help when these manifes- tations appear.

The eyeball normally con- tains a fluid that flows in and out at a constant rate. It is be- _ IIeved that in glaucoma. more ; fluid enters than leaves the ‘ eyeball because of impaired

drainage. As a result. tension.

increases. ;‘ A rapid rise in pressure leads I to acute congestion, with sud-l

head lasts several hours. Sight ; ‘ returns but the isorder leaves] its mark on the sensitive reti- I i nal coating in back of the eyes. I . There may be some loss of lo- l cusing power, which is correct- I g ed with stronger glasses. 1 _ The cycle is repeated with 1‘ second and third attacks. This: g explains why those who need E * stronger glasses more often l L than they should for their age ought to have the eyeball prcs- I sure tested. I Acute glaucoma is not common as the chronic variety. In this type. eyeball tension m- creases so gradually the eyes have a chance to adjust to the V change and there may be not symptoms. Should the s a m e ‘ symptoms ensue as in the acute variety. they are less Intense and loss of vision is gradual. This Is what makes the chronic form of the disease sod anger-

Drugs are available to lower tension temporarily. They ar- rest the condition but do not . cure it. Surgery offers perma- nent relief but is not needed when pressure can be control- ed by applying a few drops in the eyes periodically.
