Cost-Sharing Grants

Reports dealing with the coming

fe‘del .pioviiillul mural-mice have undel med the grievances of several provinces with regard to the cost— sharing programs initiated at Ottawa. These programs. it is said. have virtually forced the provinces into scheme . me of which they could ill afford at the time. We know from our own experience that there is truth in this complaint.

But the remedy doesn't lie in abandoning these programs. as some sources harp suggested. That might suit the wealthier provinces. into which tax 2 venues from all palts of the countly flow and which are anxious to retain as much control over th revenues as possible. But in our so 1nd in the case of the Atlantic Provinces generally—it would mean setting the clock back irrevl‘icahlv.

The inequ s in the cost-shar- ing programs should not blind us to the fact thai without them we would be in a much worse position than we are. anil that our future depends on their continuance in such a man-

ner * to make them truly equitable It is unthinkable. because of the di ficulti 'n the way. that they should be abandoned: and we view with grave suspicion the agitation for paring them down along the lines proposed by QilFl’lt‘C. and indnrsed. to a considerable extent. by Ontario. This. as we see it, is one of the most important issues to be dealt with at, the Ottawa conference which Opens on Monday. The meet- ings will lie held in camera. thus giving every opportunitv for un- trammelled discussion; and it is to he hoped that out of them will emerge some arrangement that will mke cognizance of the vital principle of fiscal used, linked with tax po- tential. as the factor in determining all future cost—sharing grants. Prince Edward island. as the smallest province and the m pendent on the basic industries with which it entered Confederation, has perhaps the biggest stake in a mat- ter of this kind. We have no doubt that our provincial spokesmen are fully aware of this and will present a strong case on our behalf. Let us hope that it will not go unheard amid the clash of other interests.

Coyne Altair Recalled

Remember Mr. James E. Coyne. the Bank of Canada governor the Conservatives tried to fire. and the man who exhorted Canadians to live within their means? A recent state- ment by Finance Minister Gordon revealed that he is drawing a Gov- ernment retirement pension of $25,- 000 a year. and has been getting it Iinu July 13. 1961. the date of his retirement.

The $25,000 pension was one of the major issues in the 1961 Coyne lfllif. As recalled by an Ottawa correspondent for the Globe and Mail, the real quarrel between the govurnment of the day and the gov- emor of the hank was over Mr. Coyne's economic theories and the relationship between the two author- Itiea. But I strong side issue develop. Id In a result of the condemnation of Mr. Ooyne by Hon.

than llld niwnyI bean In understanding that a governor who left the bank before norm-l retire- ment age would not draw the special pension if he found suitable alterna- tive employment.

After the hearing, the Liberal» dominated Senate refused to pass on the Commons legislation that would have removed Mr. Coyne from of- fice. Having had his day in court. Mr. (‘nvne resigned. six months be- fore his statutory seven-year term of office was due to expire. It was later announced that the bank's board of directors, at a meeting on July 22. decided to suspend the pen- sion fund hy-law, giving effect to the 325,000 pension, pending review.

Nothing more was heard until Robert {\llllr, Conservative member for (‘ape Breton, asked Mr. Gordon in the Commons this week to con- flrm or deny reports about the pen- sion. Without a moment's hesitation and with the assistance of a mem» orandllnl. indicating his prepared- ne Mr. Gordon read the reply.

Out Of Vodka

Picture if you can a thirsty Rus- sian commisar. says a Washington dispatch. There he sits on the lonely steppes. ' omily beating his wife For the So et grain crop has failed and there is no more vodka. His gov- ernment has been forced to go to the Americans and offer to buy $50,000.- 000 worth of grain alcohol—enough to make 000,000 gallons of th 9 Russian lifeblood.

Premier Khrushchev may be con— cemed about Berlin. Cuba, Com- munist China and anns production, hilt what are these minor problems to the fact that grain and potato shortages threaten to deny Ivan of his normal quota of the national beverage?

For some time Mr. Khrushchev himself—quite n vodka consumer over the years—has been urging Russians to cut down on vodka in the interests of health, productivity and peace. Now he has the addition- al argument that grain used to make vodka can‘t be used to make bread or feed cattle and there has to be a choice. But it‘s not going to boost his popularin by pressing this point too far.

So. he‘- In the American market for 20,000.00!) gallons of 190 proof alcohol to meet the cri. American distillers are reporOEdly delighted to oblige. for they happen to be heavily overstocked with spirits. With their grain surpluses they can make all they require.

Perhaps this‘will usher in a new and happier era in U.S.-Soviet rela- tions. “Man wants but little dn'nk below." says the poet. “but wants that little strong." And how can the cookies of the Kremlin bosses' hearts not be warmed by this American gesture in supplying so vital a need?

Ancient Roman Nails

One thing that Roman culture brought to England during its oc— cupation was a boundless harvest of nails. They have been found in quantity at. various places, the lat- est being at Inchtuthil. near Perth. when a hoard of about a million forged nails was dug up by an archaeologist. They had remained buried for about 1,900 years without deterioration. V

Sets of these nails were sent free to almost every museum in the world. The rest were put on sale at 5 shillings—about ’10 cents. News- boys and bishops, company directors and Japanese licholarr and all sorts of other people snapped them up. Many "publicana." it is reported. bought some to hang over their bars. Some were auctioned off for charity for as much as $4.20 each.

Now All have been sold. "And." reports an exchange. "there Is spw uIItinn that profit from the nails mm: to I! much as Rome ever got out of IL! former colony."
