Trans-Canada Tour

Hon. Harry Hays, federal Min- ister of Agriculture. has come up with an idea which may prove of some value both to Parliament and to the country. He is planning to take the {SO-member House of Commons agriculture committee on a cross-Canada tour in August to acquaint them with farm problems at first hand.

Of course, there will be criticism of this tour; and if it turns out to be just another excuse for junket- ing. the expenditure in time and money would be unjustified. But Mr. Hays’ point is that a lot of farm critics on the Commons committee don’t know what they are talking about except when dealing with problems in their own regional areas. He proposes to give them the opportunity of acquiring a broad- er concept of things.

It. is too bad that these gentle- men should have. to be re—educated at the taxpayers‘ expense. or indeed that it should be necessary at all in the case of alcommit'tee which, in agricultural matters. is supposed to represent the most. knowledgeable part of the House. But granting Mr. Hays‘ premise, a tour of the kind he proposes could have reward- ing results.

Mr. Hays wants to see Quebec farm members of Parliament down in the southern part of Swift Curg rent where they cannot see their hand in front of them for dust. He wants to see the Saskatchewan farm member stand up in Newfoundland where he will be up to his knees in muskeg. and out in BC. and north- ern Alberta an cl Saskatchewan where there are only 90 frost-free days in the year. He wants mem- bers to take a good look at the prob- lems in these areas, “and then we can bring together the sort of pro- gram in which every farmer in Can- ada can believe."

He didn’t mention Prince Edward Island. perhaps because we haven't got to contend with the horrendous problems of the areas to which he referred. We are the garden prov- ince of Canada. the most. beauti- ful and the most attractive in its agricultural layout. But we have serious farm problems just the same. and it is to be hoped that when the committee visits us in August it will be given every opportunity of look- ing into them.

Of course. we mustn‘t fail to ex- tend our traditional hospitality to the pcregrinating parliamentarians. But we give them notice in advance that we shall expect them to be more concerned about collecting ma-

terial for their home work than in.

Billion Dollar Potential The new Department of Indus- ‘ try in the Federal Government is intended to advise, promote and in- form private business. The depart- ment already has more than 500 employees and. unless times have :hanged. its staff will increase year by year. and even week by week. It has been contended that this new setup in addition to the Department if Trade Commerce is unnecessary ——that the latter department should be doing what the new department planning to do. Whatever ground » there is for this criticism. it is sure- Ily time that industry. generally, Iiwu being encouraged to do more

Trade and Commerce. who expressed concern at the lack of confidence which Canadian businessmen show in the ability of their product to sell abroad. From his wide exper- ience, Mr. Hees was convinced that there is a very large volume of ad- ditional trade waiting for Cana- dian producers if they will go into the markets of the world and pick it up.

He recalled a survey made dur- ing his own years in government that produced a list of more than 2,500 individual Canadian products which were not then being sold abroad. and which Canadian trade commissioner's were confident could be sold easily in their territories if their producers would go abroad and sell them. This list, distributed throughout Canadian industry. re- sulted in many millions of dollars of additional export sales.

That survey was carried out when the value of the Canadian dol- lar was $1.02 in terms of United States dollars. In 1961 the dollar was devalued and pegged at 92% cents. giving a 10 per cent improve- ment in the competitive position of Canadian exports. If another de- tailed survey were made today. Mr. Hees was convinced that the list of products unsold in 1961 which could easily be sold in their markets—— 2.500 at that time—would today be in excess of 10,000 products. with an annual sales volume. of more than a billion dollars a year. Business- men. he insisted. should go abroad and pick up the windfall which the devalued dollar. and Canadian skill at producing acceptable products. has made available to them.

Perhaps this is the kind of crus- ade we need. launched by business- men themselves, rather than a new department of government to tell them what to do and spend more of the taxpayers’ money.

Red Shield Appeal

Once again. throughout the month of June. the familiar symbol of the Red Shield will be prominent- ly displayed, reminding us that the Salvation Army is staging its an- nual appeal for funds for the upkeep of the many institutions under its wing.

Businessmen often marvel at the modest amount the Army calls for in its nation-wide campaign—a mere 53 million for the maintenance of some 100 institutions. and a mass of other types of work operating from coast to coast—and even down in Bermuda. The old saying. “The Army makes it dollar go farther than any other organization can." is true. and boils down to the fact: that its officers serve for a mere living wage because they are ded- icated to their work.

A well-known Toronto columnist. recently stated that he knew an of- ficer who was drawing a stipend equivalent to that of an average typist. yet who was carrying re- sponsibilities that would gain for him a princely salary in an “outside” job. Yet where would you find a happier. more contented group of men and women? The work is its own reward. and there is no satis- faction like that when it comes to a person who has just helped to lend a helping hand to one in desper- ate straits.

Nowhere does the Army stand higher in publc esteem than in Prince Edward Island. nowhere is there more confidence placed in its ability to spend the modest sums it collects to the best advantage. Let's hope. therefore. that its June appeal will receive. here as else- where. a generous and sympathetic response.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Work has begun again on the cleaning of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. It is a gargantuan task, in- volving much stonework which has to be restored as well as cleaned, But once the job has been done it is estimated to last for at least 200

years.

RESIDENTIAL TIMBER

BRITISH COMMENTARY

Trade And Development Proposals

Britain and other Western Nae tions have put forward new pro- ' posals for the type of machinery which they consider to be best suited to continue the work of the present United Nations Com 1 ference on Trade and Develop-i ment. The emphasis is on accel- I crating the economic growth of i the developing countries them- selves. put forivorcl in a draft A resolution circulated in the Con- ference last week.

moves are taking place In the fourth committee which is c o n c e r n e d with institu- tion arrangements designed to ensure that the work begun at this Conference in the interests of the developing countries . should be maintained.

For the past week. the fourth 1 committee has been conducting . its business through intensive. informal discussions between representatives of the Western countries on the one hand. and the less-developed on the other. The approach by the Western nations takes into account the various points raised by the less-developed (‘OUI‘III‘K‘S in these private discussions. and there is increasing optimism than an agreed formula based on the latest proposals will em- erge within the next week or so. NEW ARRANGEMENTS

The broad outline of the Wes- tern scheme is that new organ- isational arrangements should' be established as an integral part of the United Nationals ec- onomic machinc. There should

Commission and any subsidiary bodies.

The basic responsibilities of the Conference would be: the p r o m of i o n of international trade. particularly in relation to the economic development of the. developing countries: the formulation of principles and ‘ policies to this and: and the continuing review of organisa- tional arrangemcnis in the light of the experience. of their work and activities.

VOCATIONAL FEES Sin—Allow me a small ‘ amount. of space in your paper to draw the attention of the pub- lic. particularly in the rural areas, to the notice from the Department of Education which says that a fee of $100 per pu- pil is being charged. to all stu- dents at vocational school be- ginning at Grade IX.

Is this the manner In which we are going to encourage tech- nical training? Is this the way we are going to induce farmer students to take an agricultural course which we hope will given at this school? This is a time for thought and action. Our rural school meetings on June 2 would be the ideal place to discuss and act on this type of unfair discrimination.

Who Will Follow Nehru?

By Jose-pit Mai-Sworn Canadian Press Staff Writer

It seems Infiniter sad to re- [ call that. Prime Minister Nehru 1 said only a week ago today: ,

"My lifetime is not ending so very soon."

In his gentle way. Nehru was , turning aside questions as to.‘ whether he should name a suc- cessor during his lifetime to protect the democracy he did so much to achieve in India.

Now that Nehru is no more. the world is anxiously watching the succession in the country of 400,000,000 with its vast diver- sity of race. religion and eco- nomic problems.

Nehru's Congress Party holds 355 of the 500 seats in India‘s House of the People so that it. is obvious the new leader must I come from the mainstream of that political group.

ut the range of political col- oring in Congress is far} greater than in political oariies i as known in Canada and other Western countries. It embraces radicals like Krishna Menon and conservatives k Morarjii Decal. pillar of finan- cial orthodoxy and former fi- nance minister.
