Parliament Meets it is likely that the Government will ' seek approval of its 1957-.38 defense " budget. This amounted to S1375,- '1l,0fl0,00O for the current fiscal year if ending March 31. There may be a igivreduclion of some three per cent A-next year, but the total still would 'represent about 40 per cent of all I 1 government expenditures. Maj 0 r General Pearks. V.C., the Conserva- tive spokesman on military affairs, who has been critical of extravagant duplication in the armed services, is likely to renew his demand for a thorough review of the. department's top administration. There is also likely to be further debate on Can- ada's contribution to the United Nations Emergency Force. Military matters, however. are t expected to take a back seal to the l Canadian Pacific Railway strike, at I least initially. The Government seems ' to have taken this issue very lightly. During the critical sta ges of the negotiations, the Prime Minister re- mained on holiday in Sherbrookc, and the Minister of Transport in St. llctershurg, Florida. Mr. Howe, the acting Prime Minister. and the Min- ister of Labor sat in and listened while the railway and union spokes- lnnn argued. The Opposition has a duty to perform in ltl'ill!Till'.: home thn f;mcrnmcnt's responsibility in this matter. Whether or not they will take it remains to be seen. in the incantirnc the strike has reached the proportions of a national cmcr- gcncy. and it is Parliament's business to ricnmnri a full accountittit til WW- '. ernmcnt unlic y in such circum- sumcc-.

The Decisive Word

If there is still anyone around who believes that the United Nations is pursuing an independent course in the Middle East he should study carefully this Reuters report of an interview with Lt. Gen. Wheeler, the American expert who is "in charge" of clearing the Suez Canal.

"The Managing Director of the Egyptian Canal Authority has given me the green light to go ahead," said Gen. Wheeler. "We've got an excellent salvage fleet. We will take two German salvage vessels to Ferd- ian Bridge. Two Egyptian mine- sweepers will go in front of us so as to avoid any accident and any ob- stacles there may be under water." And here comes the significant state- ment: "1 will tell the Egyptian Gov- ernment when the canal is safe for navigation. Afterthat it will be up to them to decide when to open the canal”

In other words, Nasser and not the l'nited Nations will have the de- cisive word. And there are rumours that he lists no intention of allowing ships from Western countries to use the canal except on terms which would make the trip more expensive than the voyage around the ('apc. He will get away with it. too. if the , matter is left in the hands of the LIV.

MISS HARRlN(i'l'()N'S RESl(i.VATl()N

Sir. It is with deep regret that former pupils of Miss Mildred liar- ringlon learn of her resignation as teacher at the Model school to accept a position on the teaching staff of St. Mary's University in llnlitax. As one among many who have benefited from her ability and experience as it teacher, I feel that the general public should realize that Miss Harrington's de- parture is a serious loss to niitny students in this city: a loss which extends far beyond her present pupils at the Model School. For many years Miss Harrington has been responsible for the success in their studies of from 15 to 20 students each year. who are tak- lniz Entrance or who are in their First and Second years at Prince of Wales College. it is this latter f!I”0"P who will stiffer most from her resignation and absence from the island.

Among the many form-r pupils who are loud in their prise of Miss Harrington is l)r. Douglas .'il.'u-- Donald, who was the youngest stit- dent ever to graduate as a doctor from Dalhousle University In con- versation with him last Summer, he said that not only had he been lble to complete four years work in lust two. as a pllpll of ills: Harrington, but that she was the best teacher he had ever had Ano- ther former pupil. and a contem- porary of mine. is John l'atu-i-son Ion of Professor Patterson a tea- cher nf Mathematics at l'rinc(- of Wales College.

OTTAWA REPOEIL

.hBildni2"ss Before Parliament

By Patrick Nicholson

Ottawa: Parliament reassemb- le: today for what is expected to l he the last session before a general election. it is expected to be a short. session, lasting little more than three months. After that. Parliament will be dissolved, and the election will probably be held in mid-June.

With perhaps only sixty working days ahead of it, Parliament is unlikely to embark on any silh- stantial or controversial legislative program.

The Throne Speech debate will as usual take up the first two weeks, unless some matter of nat- ional impurtancc has to be given priority. The Budget. expected earlier than usual in this session. will take up two more weeks.

Reports are likely to be present- ed to Parliament by two important Royal Commissions which worked last year. These are the Gordon Commission on Canada's future economic pl ., ts, Ind the Fow- ler Commission on broadcasting.

These two commissions each carried out exhaustive enquiriel in their respective fields. The in- formation which they guhei-ed, and the many comprehensive and informed brief: submitted to those commissionl, will provide very helpful guldnnce to wlntever gov- ernment may be in power IIEVI , year. But it is considered unllk I thIt the findings of these comm...- Ilons will be translated into cnm- ' prehcnsive legislation during this leuion of Puiiament.

IIEALTH PLAN

The Liberal Government has been hoping that it would be Ible to initiate action leading to I oat.- lonal health insurance plan, before the election. it would take Ibout I yen for the machinery to be set up and for such I plan to be act.- ually launched, But Liberal strat- egists have been hoping. indeed have been confidently expecting. that they would be able to present it to the electors next June Ill I l besnefit in process of being launch-

To attain this progress. it II nec- essary that R majority of the prov- inces representing I mIjority of , Canadians should signify their '

readiness to parlicip.'it.e in this". plan. it is considered most unlike- ly that Quebec will join in at this early stage, so it is essential that Ontario should do so to get the plan launched.

Liberals are very anxious to sea , this positive step taken by Ontario, bill they secretly admit that if they were in the position of the Conser- vative premicr of Ontario, they themselves would refrain from handing this election ball to the federal Liberals.

Proponents of the health schema point to Ontario's action on last year's pipeline issue, when Prem- ier Frost took a stand cxaclly op- posite to that of the. federal Con- Iervatives. Had he refused to co operate with the federal govern- ment, the whole pipeline proposal would have had to be recast. and the Liberals would have suffered I severe setback. lf liaison bet.- ween the federal Conservatives and their Ontario colleagues in still as poor as that, then it is pos- sible that Premier Frost will llnl his province to the fcderal health . proposals in time for that to be usfd as election campaign mater- la .

PUB CHALLENGE

Whatever the legislative pro- grnm may be. one thing we can be t fairly sure about is that there will not be the usual election-year tail cuts. Finance Minister llarrls will report I very substantial budget surplus for the current year. for in excess of his estimates. before accounting Idjustments. But he has gone on the record as oppos- ing any substantial tax cuts at this time. on the grounds that they would prove to be an inflationary influence. .

The main interest of this short pre-election session will be the performance of the Conservative Opposition under their new lead- er. .lnhn Dlefenbakcr.

The member from Prince Albert will have three months only in which to assume a virlle leader- ship and present to the voters the spectacle of a vigorous and able party offering an attractive alter- nalnc policy.
