If we are to believe Mr. Pickers- gill, the Prime Minister absents himself from his office one day out, ef every two—the inference being that for one-half of his time he ‘4s loafing on the job. Of all men in Canadian public life, Mr. Diefenbak- er is least likely to be injured by

and inefficient alike, through rais- ing a tariff. But the accent is defi- nitely on adjustment, not on assist- ance. The nature of the help—loans and tax benefits to firms, and ad- justment allowances and relocation allowances for workers—is designed, not to protect Americans from their new position in the world economy, but to help them to become more - efficient producers in that economy.

“Canada’s Public Accounts for the fiscal year endéd 3ist March last, as certified by our Auditor General, Mr. A. M. Henderson, reveal that a total of $782,200,000 was paid out in salaries and wages to civilian employees of the Federal Gov- ernment.

Today our Department of Na- | tional Defence employs 49,417 | civil servants; 25 years ago it employed just 258.

The same contrast is noted right atross the board. In 1936 our Department of Agriculture had a staff of 365; today that has swollen to 10,261.
