That is our“problem in Rajnce Edward Island! Mr. MacLean noted that-in this province there are many farms which have been abandoned becaust of current economic condi- / tions, in many cases due to the in-

necessary capital and markets to operate efficiently. As a result, fine agricultural soil is growing up in

~The Overriding Issue The feuding that is going.on over an obscure passage in the evidence of Justice Minister Favreau: before the Dorion commission—on which Judge Dorion puts one interpretation. and Mr. Favreau and his Liberal col- Téagues another—shouldn’t .serve.to distract attention from the main is- sue involved in the judicial findings. The truth, as the Ottawa Journal points out, is that the commissioner has written a most condemnatory re- port on the matters before him. Not only the Justice Minister, but the RCMP, the Prime Minister's parlia-

___mentary assistant and a mixed bag

of those close to power are criticised in varying degrees but none of them lightly. Only Hon. Rene Tremblay — has" been-completely exonerated. _

These findings, as The Journal well ‘says, recall the cavalier attitude Mr. Pearson and his cabinet and fol- ‘lowers took to the whole-sordid story

_when_it exploded in the Commons

last November. Had it not been for

~~ the questions of Conservative -MP ~ Erick Nielson on Nov. 23 the-incred- -

ible goings-on of the previous summer might never have been revealed by

‘a Minister of Justice and Prime

Minister obviously wanting to keep them under the carpet.

These questions provoked from Liberal benches the cries of ‘“Mc- Carthyism,” “smear,” and “‘innu-

__ endo.” Lofty speeches were made about fhow the spirit of man had at-

tained a point of civilization-where a critic should make specific charges or keep quiet. Under pressure, a jweak-kneed order to a commission was drafted, but the commissioner was not allowed to examine the role of a Minister of the Crown. Then,

-ypressure,.this was amended to per-_ mit the Justice Minister’s Toléto“be~

ministers and their clique were still | ~ erying “McCarthyism” and reluctant-

~ ly “dribbling out, to—a-nonplussed—

Commons. the most contradictory in-” formation as to who had known how much and when. : “Despite Mr. Favreau’s resignation ‘from his portfolio, the Government . insists on. maintaining an ‘air of in-, jured innocence quite out of keeping with the facts revealed and with its responsibility of dealing with them. Yes this that the public is concerned about, and rightly so. Its concern has not been minimized by the fact that Parliament has been recessed with- out any forthright statement frofff the Prime Minister on the subject. _ Going To Waste™ “/There is so much talk nowadays about farming being on the decline that the abandonment of agricultural ° land in various parts of Canada is be- ing taken as a matter of course. Economists have been hedrd to the effect that this is a natural evolution- ary process—even a desirable one be-

’ eause of the uneconomic operation of _ _ so many of our farms today. A force-

ful protest against this kind of think- ing was made in the Commons re-

* cently by our senior member, for

Queens, Hon. J. Angus MacLean, Who urged that careful consideration be given to keeping all our agricultural land in such condition~as to be potentially productive even though it may not be in production at the

present time.

Mr. MacLean gyas Convinced that within a very few years, probably in this decade, agricultural surpluses will become a thing of the past, and that the full impact of the world population explosion will begin to hit the productive capacity of North America as it has long since hit the productive capacity of more ‘highly populated countries. ~*~ ° *. In these circumstances, he argued, it is wasteful from a national point

of view-that vast acreages of good land

should jbe going out of produc-

i *

' out any fatal accidents being record-

incurred _by~our pioneer forebears in clearing this land and: making it pro- ductive; ‘such neglect is inexcusable.. The new ARDA projects may do something to remedy the situation, but in the meantime it is going from bad to worse. More voices should be raised in protest on this subject at Ottawa. It’ concerns us here very closely indeed.

The Mounting Toll

Dominion Day in this province with-

ed; but according to a .Canadian Press report in yesterday’s Guardian at least 22 persons died accidentally in Canada during the one-day. holi- day—17 of them in traffic. The Cana- dian Highway Safety Council ‘ had predicted 15 highway deaths, one more than the 14 killed on Dominion Day, 1964.

_So it goes; always the figures are on the uptrend. If the past can pro- vide a clue to the near-future; more’ than 5,100 persons will die in traffic accidents in. this country before th year is-out:———----- ee __Last year’s toll. was 4,655 lives.”

-It-has. been well said that an earth- quake or other natural disaster, kill-~ inygthat many people—or half as many—would rate.in Canada’s his- tory as a tragedy beyond compare. Yet each day and particularly each weekend will record a rising toll. Be- tween the beginning of 1966 and the end of 1970, it is estimated on the basis of the present trend that 26,000 more Canadians will have died on our roads, and more than one million will have been jnjured.

_ Here.is a mtter, surely, for study by federal~and provincial govern- ‘ments. in concert. One answer may well be: much tougher screening ‘of present and would-be drivers of auto- mobiles, to eliminate the automotive

would seem, points to the need for putting-pressure_on car manufactur- 4 _ers to | make modifications in design that would reduce the toll of fatal- ities from this source. ____Certainly counter-action on a mas- sive scale is required if we are to avoid reaping a:still more appalling - harvest in highway deaths and

This, surely, was no ‘reason why Canada should have ac- corded the same treatment to a top- ranking member of the British gov- ernment. The excuse given by a spokesman * of Mr. Martin’s departnient was that Mr. Callaghan’s visit was “informal”.
