PAGE I FRIDAY. APRIL 12. 1951 Situation Still Serious Some relief to the Pi-ovince's

financial situation is afforded by the

Federal Government's concession an-

nounccd in our columns today, In-

stead of deducting the total over- payment under the old tax rental agreements immediately. the am0Unt

-,now set at 331.1-H.103-will be re-

covered in installments during. the

next five years, which constitute the life period of the present so- called tax-sharing aITaniZEm9n'5-

New Brunswick, which was over-

paid to the tune of about SSl00.00(),

will be given the same consideration.

.(ltherwise, we would receive no

quarterly payment for the Pflflod ending March 31 last and the liai- ance of the Federal claim against us would have fallen due in mid-Vialh

This, of course, was why the Esti-

mates could not have been passed by the Provincial Legislature in their existing form and why, as noted be- fore, the whole Budget would require to have been revised. I While this relief is to be wel- comed, it does not go VPFY far 1” meeting our basic financial problem. This is the need for reassessment of our fiscal requirements under the new tax arrangements. Instead of the 20 per cent increase received by other Provinces participating in the agreements, we are limited to prac- tically the same amount as before. From these payments will be de- ducted quarterly during the next five years installments of the 31,141- IO3 we owe Ottawa as a result of the mistake made by the census of- ficials. That will leave us with less than we formerly received, with no account whatever taken of increas- ing expenditures for education, etc., and for participation in Federal policies which have practically been forced upon us. We shall still have to finance on I heavy annual deficit basis, or fall hopelessly behind the rest of Canada in our standard of public services. We trust that this problem was brought forcefully to the attention of the federal author- ities by the Island delegation this week. and that some consideration is being given to it. This. indeed, is indicated by Premier Matheson's statement from Ottawa in today's

Guardian. All our citizens will share

in the hope that he will come back

fully satisfied with the results.

A Communist Trap

From now on the showcase of international Communism will not be in Moscow. Pciplng or East Ber- lin but in the Indian State of Kerala. There. for the first time a Commun- lst-controlled Government has as- sumed office following a free demo- cratie election. The Premier (whose mime can be written much more easily than it can be pronounced) is Alankulam Manakal Sankaran Nam- hoodiripad. an orthodox Hindu of the highest caste. In order to im- press the people with his "demo- cratic" lcamings he has selected a cabinet made up of representatives of Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, the three main castes (high, middle, low) and even the untouchables. The Communists, of course, Ire In the majority. , ”

Seeing that Mr. Namboodlripad hum military or police force under his not control. then is little he can do In I revolutionary way. even if he had that ambltltm. And, since he is obliged to go to the Federal Government of Prime Minister Neh- ru for most of the money to provide public services. he I: under another Iuvone handhapi In any case.

KeralI'I example, the way will be open to tyranny and freedom-sup preasion in the best tradition of the conspirators.

Perhaps nothing worse has hap- pened to India since she became a sovereign nation. For there are many millions of Indians whose predilec- tions are on the border line between political freedom and totalitarianism: and it won't take much to entice them into the trap which will be laid out so temptingly in Kerala.

New Poultry-Preservative

. After subjecting the treatment to exhaustive experimentation, the Food and Drug Division at Ottawa has authorized the use of Acronizc. a derivative of the antibiotic Aureomy- cin, as a poultry-perservative. It had already been accepted for use on fish; and its use on poultry was authorized in the United States in November. 1955. Canada, the report says, is one of the first Countries to accept it for both fish and poultry.

Acronize does not affect the taste, odor or colour of the food product. It merely maintains the fresh-killed condition and appear- ance. Only about a Ieaspoolllul of the basic treatment is neces.s;ii')' for processing 600 pounds of poultry. it is simply added to the ice and water in which the birds are chilled after slaughter. Cooking destroys it. til- ficials stress the fact, however, that Acronize is not I substitute for re- frigeration and sanitation, nor does it work on birds which have already begun to spoil. It works only on fresh birds by preventing spoilage bacteria from getting I start.

It is hoped that the new process will make possible tastier and fresher poultry and thereby increase Can- adian consumption of this very fine food. Incidentally. the per capita consumption is growing all the time. In 1950 it was 19 pounds. Last year it was 30 pounds. During the same period the cash value of poultry pro- cessed in Canada increased from 5100 million to something like 3170 million.

It is to be noted that Acronize is to be made available only to pro- cessing plants which comply with strict sanitary standards. This is a necessary health measure. In the United States it is now in use in more than half of the country's pro- cessing plants.

Pasture Protection

It is probably safe to say that most farmers look upon pasture lands as less important in an overall sense and less deserving of proper care than crop lands. According to I report issued by the Division of Field Husbandry at Central Experi- mental Farm in Ottawa, this is a costly mistake. It says that trials conducted over the past several years show that well fertilized pas- tures produce on an average 63”;-' more herbage than unfertilized areas, Fertilization also improved the composition of the herbage by increasing the clover stand by 50'. and decreasing the weed population by at least 30' k. In Charlottetown and other Maritime experimental farms the increase in fertilized areas over the unfertilized ones was more than .'i0"r.

The report points out that it is not possible to suggest any one ferti- lizer for all soil and climatic con- ditions. In general. however, pho- sphorus is required on clay soils where clover grows best. Where clover docs not thrive nitrogen is usually recommended. Potassium is good for sandy soils. Perhaps the most economical is an application of not less than 500 pounds of I com- plete fertilizer, followed by similar treatments every two or three years. with more frequent nitrogen appli- cation. Barnyard manure II as good on pastures as on crop lands.

The final session of Canada's 22nd Parliament saw governnient for the first time

moving in a big way into the

fields of power production and culture. The pre-cleciioii session also

produced the first major increase since Ill-I9 in the level of social welfare payments and was pre- sented with a record tzovern- ment speiidiiiiz program of 35.334.- 000.000 for the fiscal year begun April I. topping the highest war- time spendiiia.

The opposition parties. with I new Progressive Conservative leader. John Dicfenbalier. were unable to whip up any major con- troversy during the three-month session with the possible excep- tion nf charfzca - denied - that cabinet ministers had tried to in- terfere with programming by tho publicly-owned CBC.

PIPF.I.INE BIG ISSUE?

The government, eyeing the campaign for the June election. did nothing to help the opposition create issues.

It appeared the opposition would have to fight the election mootly on the basis of the government's record and on issues rIi.Ied in previous sessions. notably last year's wild pipeline battle.

But this year's closing session of the Parliament elected Aug. 10. 1953. was not without history.

It saw establishment of I long- Iwaited 21-member Canada Coun- oil with I stoo.ooo.ooo federal bankroll to promote cultural Ic- tivities and help expand univer- sity bnilrlings and equipment. Op- erating grants available to univer- sities were doublcd to 816000.000 I year.

The March 14 budget of Finance Minister Harris is expected to fig- ure prominently in Liberal cam- paizning.

BROAD wF.I.FARE AID

It signalled a federal move into the field of power production. with its proposals for linking New Brunswick and Nova Scoiia elec- tric systenis into I single grid and for conslriirting thermal electric generating plants. Later the gov- ernment announced it was pre- pared to build public hydroelec- tric plants in British Columbia.

The buclizct spread a thin layer of sales tax cuts and improved welfare paynients broadly over I laritc part of the electorate.

Pensions fnr the aged, blind and disabled, will be raised to 840 from 840 a month oniluly I. and family allowances will go up by

Liberals lost two seats to Con- servatives and one to the CCF in the Parliament's I7 by-also tlons. They retained Io seats. eight of them with sharply-rr duced majorities. Conservatives retained three seats Ind the So- cial Credit party one.
