Confidence Vote

As al1Yl(‘lp.’I.I6(‘l. Mr. Diefenbaker won his confidence vote at the Con- servative Association annual meet- ing _vesterd.iy. and it unlikely that his lt=.=ulr=i-ship will again be chal- lengerl. .-at la-.i;.t until aftcr the next election. \\’l.urli miss; the question of what all this talk about unload- ing him was iutc.nrlt=.d to achieve.

It will be rccnllerl that in 1958.- sonn after tit? Liberals chose Hon. Lester Pear.-on as their chicftain. Mr. Pearson suffered the greatest defeat of any Liberal leader in the party's history. But he w.'isn’t boot- ed out for .*h;u. The Liberals closed ranks behind him and began looking to the flll.Ill't’.

Mr. DioFm,1h.-il<cr's offense, ac- cording to some Conservative writ- ers. was that be dissipated the largest mzijority ever recorded in the (‘anadian House of Commons. But it will ho t'r=(‘-’lll€rl that the critic- ism began before the 1962 election and contributed to this result. And it is a fact that though driven from power he won enough seats to de- prive his Liberal opponents of 8 parliamentaijv majority.

But this comparative success did not secure him against. further at- tacks within his party. which ac- counted for the demand for a secret ballot on this occasion. The rebels were in a minority. How small, no- body see-mod sure. Historically. sec- ret ballots are for leadership con- ventions when two or more men are in hot. competition, and there was no cnmpo.tit.ion this time. But the dissidents——invoking what they claimed to be the democratic pro- cess-—-rlenianded a secret. vote just

the some. Evidently they didn't want to stanrl up and be COIIntPfl-

But as pointed out by one Ot- ‘kawa. commentator. a secret ballot would havn seat a bad precedent. It could be dnnmnrlcd at all annual meetings from now on. and Where would it leave the leader. Dief. or the other man xvho sooner or later must succeed him? Nowhere except under the continuing threat of a yearly assassination.

The (‘on.:cr\':ili\'(=s did well throw this proposal overboard yes- foday. and give their leader the open and wholclicrirtrrl indorsation he had a riglit to cxpcct.

Who Buries Whom?

0119 of flu: sayings Of Premier Khrushchcv that will doubtless pass into B:irtlctt‘s Dictionary of Quotations was his boast that Com- munism will some day bury C317- fiaiism, It, was a good, mout.h-fill- ing phrase, and it has done yeoman service in the cause of Communist propaganda the world over. But now it has been turned against the Soviet. leader in a peculiar manner- in a. Peking radio broadcast of the text of an article in Red China’s two most important piiblications, the official Peking People's Daily and the party's theoretical journal. Red Flag.

Mr. Khrushchev is denounced in this article as a man with "a feudal psychology" who befriended traitor- ous Chinese Communists opposed to Mao Tse-tung’s leadership. and it is predicted that he and his Com- munist party leaders "will be bur- fed."

:5’: The article does not identify the ‘ ' A y elements beyond de- tmm as “modem revision-

‘ ”--those who split off from the Lenin-Marx line-not does it in-

to

U, when Mr. Khrushchev had his approval of them. But

it makes it clear that the dispute will be continued despite Soviet threats of retaliation. The revision- ists, it say.-', are “producing their opposites and will be buried by them. This is an inexorable law.” And it winds up with a query which appears to be aimed directly at Mr. Khrushchev: “Do you really believe that our people are bound docilely to obey your orders and tremble at your roar'."’

This latest exchange of amen- ities follows close upon the Peking government's decision to set out and build up a world diplomacy of its own. rather than rely on the Rus- sians. Prime Minister Chu Enlai was sent out to tour Africa with the object of winning friends and in- fluencing General de Gaulle. Chou seems to have won recognition from about a dozen French-speaking African states, and he will soon. no doubt, enjoy the fruits of his vic- tory in the voting on admitting China to the United Nations.

Then. perhaps. the rival Red powers could do their verbal bat- tling from the rostrum of the U.N. Asembly, rather than by bombard- ing each other at long range via radio broadcasts. Even if neither side succeeded in burying the other. their mutual recriniinations would provide the neutral member, nations with material for some salutary re- flections.

For Freer Trade

In a speech at. Vancouver re- cently. Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp noted “a growing recognition that an inward-looking,protection- ist policy for Canada leads nowhere ——and certainly not toward indus- trialization and economic l2‘1‘0Wtl1-" Canada's sights, he said. "must be set on larger-scalle Introduction which in turn can only be achieved through production for world mar- kets. and in particular for the North American market. In other words. our sights must be set. on freer trade which enables us to obtain bet- ter access to existing and develop- ing markets."

This outspoken declaration of the need for a freer trade policy is im- portant at this time. But, warns the Winnipeg Free Press, it is naive t.o expect that Mr. Sharp will find a unanimous party and cabinet be- hind him as he approaches the de- cisive GATT tariff negotiations this year. Like every advocate of freer trade in former governments, he will have a fight on his hands whenever he proposes to reduce any Canadian tariff whatever.

Mr. Sharp will assuredly hear

from many sides why no Canadian tariff can ever be reduced. Will he hear sufficiently from Canadian ex- porters who need larger foreign markets and cannot. hope to secure them if Canada refuses to increase its imports? Up to now the tariff debate has always been pretty one- sided and dominated by protection- ists because they are organized and vocal, the exporters unorganized and habitually silent. ’ Before he is finished in the Lib- eral party, in the cabinet and in GATT, Mr Sharp will require and deserve the united support of all those sharing his judgment. that the Canadian economy. for its own good. must. be exposed to more foreign competition.

FORUM

THOSE ICY ROADS

SlI’,—I wish to make reference to I letter in your paper, submitted recently by Mr. Alvin Hastings. Montague. In this letter he states that on January 27, he did not see a sand truck

on the highway from Charlotte- ‘ town until reaching Montague;

at which time the sand truck was parked in the middle of the street while the driver talked

to another man. Mr. Hasfinge«

asks two questions —l.e.—“What is one to do?" and "Is this what they are paid for?"

First. let me state that the road over which Mr. l-lasting travelled and part of which is in our area, had been sanded previously that day

Secondly. this road is only I ; fraction of the number of roads ‘

which -require sanding in our section.

We are, of course. required to pay attention first to the high- way to Charlot.fet.own_ which ig much travelled. giving special at- tcntlon to hills and curves. But in a severe icy spell. after we have been over this part and made it rpassablc. we are also required to give attention to numerous other roads.

On the day in question. we did not spend the whole day on this arca. but were also dolm some of the othcr roads which were in I vcry damzerous con- dition —- roads which were also important and over which Ic-hool ‘busscs must travel.

I wish to advise Mr. llasltnzs. also. that the length of time in which sand remains on the high.

way and retains its effectiveness .

varies greatly with weather con- dltlons.

We have to try to keep all,

roads in our section in a pass- able condition. However. it is I matter beyond our control that sleet and icy conditions become general on all the roads It the same time. so that all the roads require attention at once.

This. you must. understand. in a difficulty which is most trying to all concorned.

'I‘o answer the question: "What is one to do?" I can only say that if we could barter with the elements so that I thin layer of ice could be spread over a dif- ferent road of our section each day of the week. then we could keep all the roads passable all of the time. and also have con- tinuous employment.

.on the day in question. we recall that we stopped in Mon- tague long enough to get I few bottles of cold drink before going on the hlcltway with I fresh load of sand. Otherwise. bad we in- tended to loaf. would we not have marked the truck off the street and out of the way?

to answer the second queatlon. I will say ‘Yes. we ex- pect to get paid for those five or ten minutes ldly spent.‘ I have no doubt that gavemvrnenta have paid much larger sums of money for much greater amounts of wasted time.

In this land of ours labour:-I-9 are privileged to have time off from work for at least I di-hi

. on the road in the middle of the

‘night. This sort of thing also.

.» is included in our job of sanding roads.

We are trying to do a diffi- i cult job to the best of our ability

in the service of the travelling public.

The implication which Mr. =. Hastings makes that we would i seem to be loaflng while draw- i in; our pay gives an unfair im- Dression to a public which. so i far. has treated us in an under- : standing and cooperative man- ner.

l PUPILS’ ALLOWANCES

Slr.—Please permit me space

‘ Forum of The Guardian signed

1 J.H.G. Cavendish.

I The beef was that Rt. Hon.

Lester Pearson had not kept his ‘election promise reeontinuing

family allowance payments to

pupils 18, who wish to further their education. The letter con- cluded with an appeal to mothers to voice their protests as we can‘: ask for too much. A few ‘have voiced their protests through the Public Forum. ‘Now let me state at the out- set I am not opposed to family allowances being paid to senior

pupils if they are sinzere in a

desire to further their educat-

ion. And I am not concerned with election promises whether made by Pearson. Diefcnbaker.

Shaw. or Matheson. I am con- l cerned with the attitudes of parents who think the govern. ment is in some way obligated , to provide for them and their "families from birth to old age.

The children of today are given I good opportunity to ob- tain an education. Grades 9-12 are taken from their homes by bus to high school. the only ex- pense to parents being books and clothes.

Contrast that with some years ago when children went from Grade 10 in public school to Prince of Wales College. Par- ents had to provide not only books and clothes but pay the pupils‘ board in Charlottetown and there was no family I1low- ance for any age.

The advantages given pupils today has not in many cases improved the calibre of the student as evidenced by the

, number of failures in junior Ind

senior matriculation. A girl or boy of eighteen should be able to earn enough during holidays to buy their books and clothes. I know of more than one young miss 16-17 years who during holidays earned man than enough to do this.

storing confidence. His first de- clarations after the Kennedy agreement were anything but in accordance with its spirit. He joined Chinese. Russian. Cuban and Algerian speakers in I viol- ent attack on Malaysia. l-le re- peated the intention of Indones- ia to ‘‘crush'' Malaysia. This speech was given to en- i lhusiaslic young Communists at the so-called “International ‘ Youth Conference" at Kalimau- fun. At such at meeting. I n d with such an audience. Presl- dent Sockarno need not be re- garded as on oath. The atmos- phere may have been too much in.

But his plans look infinitely gt-aver when. on the next day.

ONLY SUSPENDED

The leaders of Malaysia have always insisted that President Soekarno must recognize Malay- sia and call off his policy of mil- itary confrontation. Soekarno has still given no signs of doing so. How can he recognize Malay- ‘_ sia and in the same breath talk of "crushing" it?

So far he has agreed to the I Indonesian guerilla bands ceas- '; int: fire: but. he has given no un- i dertaking to withdraw H1 9 m ‘ from Malaysian territory, The

military action is suspended. it is not dismounted.

It. is natural at it time like this to speak of a compromise solution. Compromise is a very fine thing. and reasonable men are expected to seek it as I way to stop quarrelling.

compromise wears a dif- ferent colour when it is urged by l a party which is solely and en- ‘firely responsible for the quar- rel. If an armed robber holds up a passer-by who has-I hundred dollars on blm. he may say that as a compromise he will be con- tent with taking only fifty. But few impartial onlookers would regard that an I satisfactory

rm of compromise.

UNPROVOKED QUARREL In the present. case. President ' Soekarno produced slngle-hand- ed his quarrel with Malaysia. He has assaulted it without being provoked in any way. The Unit- ed Nations was brought in It his request to satisfy him that all was fair and above board in the dealings between Malaya and the territories of Borneo.

Thouah he had no right to de- mand it. the sponsors of the scheme were willing to go to such lengths to allay any pos- sible suspicion. But President . Soekamo. who was wllll n g

enough to make use of the Unit- ed Nations for getting hold of West Irlan. was not impressed by the testimony of I U. . team which came to the firm conclus- fon that the territories of Borneo were genuinely in favour of mer. gin: with Malaysia.

By making enough commotion Soekai-no hopes to convince the ‘ neutral world that he is the ag- l szrleved party to the dispute. By 1 threatening a war. which nobody wants. he hopes to be sufficient- ly effective to be bought off I! I nuisance.
