For Ditierent Reasons

Two recent resignations from the Diefenbaker cabinet go to support the old maxim that it never rains but it pours. From Prime Minister's standpoint, they couldn’t have Come at a worse time. But it is evident that State Secretary Halpenny, who has suffered two heart seizures in the last 13 months and whom the strain of the last parliamentary ses- sion has left exhausted, had good reason for withdrawing—for the present at least—both from his ministerial responsibilities and from public life. And in Finance Minister Fleming's case, there is no reason to doubt that he is stepping down, as he says, for purely personal rea- sons. His was a different kind of resignation from that which promp- ed Messrs. Harkness. Sevigny and Hees to quit on the nuclear weapons issue. ‘

All during the tense political crisis of the past few weeks, Mr. Fleming had remained staunchly loyal to the Prime Minister. The Ottawa Journal notes, however, that through an error—compounded by the urgent rush to catch news- paper deadlines and the presence of two Flemfm)ings in the cabinet, the Justice Minister had been listed among the six or seven ministers who met in Mr. Hees’s House of Commons office the day the gov- ernment fell to discuss ways and means of avoiding defeat.

It was reported-«and never sub— stantially denied—that one of the “ways and means" was at least an exploration of the possibility of trading the Prime Minister's head for the. 30 vital Social Credit votes. Mr. Fleming was incensed that he had been listed with the cabinet “rebels”, and went to some pains to have it thoroughly understood that: he had taken no part in the “palace revolution" at any stage.

So much for that. But it is too much to expect the opponents of the government not to make the most of the exodus of two more members a: this critical time. In any case the ship of state has been running into a lot of foul weather of late, and every one who leaves his post now, for whatever reason, adds to the chances of it coming to grief. By the same token, of course. it would boost the captain’s reputation tre- mendously with the shipowners if he were to make port safely under such disadvantages.

Emphasis On Research Progress on the technological front is by no means confined to .I 3 space research and nuclear wea- "i pons. According to an American correspondent, dairy farmers are ; making long strides in cutting the ‘ cost of milk production through the adoption of new technology, better breeding techniques, and improved feeding. But only farmers with capital are able to take advantage of these improvements and small dairy- men are selling out. The trend seems

to be to herds of 40 or 50 cows. The livestock people are not pessimistic in any case. They are looking forward to a reasonably prof- itable year ahead, and investing big money in research on feeding a d breeding problems. The US. National Livestock and Meat Board lees a $1,000,000 annual fund for a t o—cents-a-head voluntary contri- lglition on cattle from producers fibers they sell and packers when they buy. With this extensive pro- it is believed that the pro-

increased profits in the period ahead. It is counting more than ever on research to reduce costs of production and increase the demand for its products. Manufacturers of equipment are counted on to develop labor-saving machines and they are producing them. The latest example: a fully automated hot dog machine. The operator places raw material V in one end and without touch of hands it comes‘out as finished wieners.

A recent example of a new pro- duct calculated to increase sales is precooked bacon which can be served in three minutes frying time. Re.- search also is entering importantly into the feed business, which has carried on extensive studies of ani- mal nutrition which have revolu- tionized some branches of animal industry. This progress is expected to continue during the Sixties. 0f chief concern to the industry in the United States at present is the high price of gorernment-supported soy- beans, an important ingredient in many feeds, and the threat of the European Common Market tariffs on poultry.

From plowed field and pasture to shelves and refrigerator cases of supermarkets, the flow of food is expected to continue unabated next year and in the decade ahead, with reasonable returns to those who produce the flow. In this sector of the economy. of course, there are al- ways qualifications to predictions about prices and profits; but a: least there is ground for encour- agement in the overall picture.

Lost Opportunities

In 1958 the Central Advisory Committee on Education in the At- lantic Provinces inaugurated an in- vestigation into the abilities and proficiencies of the students in grades 11 and 12 in each of the four Atlantic Provinces. In its latest re- port—the second to appear since 1958—the committee notes, as a matter of concern, the large pro- portion of able students who fail to proceed to higher education. These students—on paper at least—should have been fully competent to under- take further full-time education be- yond high school.

The proportion varied from prov- ince to province. but in general the loss was about 50 per cent. In other Words, of the able students. only about half went on, or went im- mediately. to higher education. This is a similar proportion to that found-in the recent Atkinson study in Ontario.

“It may he," says the commit- tee report. “that some. of these stud- ents found work Worthy of their abilities in areas not covered by the present investigation; it may be that some of them were only de- laying their entry ‘into higher education. None the less. it seems perfectly clear that there is consid- erable wastage of talent, wastage which a modern complex society can ill afford."

The "reasons for this wastage are now under scrutiny. Investigat- ors armed with a questionnaire are engaged in interviewing some of those able students who did not go on, and it is expected that many more will be questioned in the spring of this year. The results should supply material for helpful analysis of the problem. As in other areas, it is likely that economic reasons will figure largely in the answers. But it is, indeed. a matter of import- ance to the country that this wast- age be prevented wherever possible.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Turkish police have found an ef- fective cure for those driving while drunk. The police take them out of their cars, drive them twenty miles into the country, and let them walk home. The discipline is more effec- tive than fines or jail sentences.

FARM LEADER WARNS

I thought of that English cheese shop and its vlvld lesson when I read the remarks of H. H, Hannam In his presidential address to the Canadian Feder- ation of Agriculture. "For mllk producers" Mr. Hannam warn- ed “the task of placing the dairy industry on a sound and stable basis is still ahead of us."

The iZ-cent per pound subsidy on butter paid In Canada to help the farmers was "it flood ‘ move" Mr. annam said. For this as for its success in sell- in,-z our wheat surplus abroad Canada's farmers should be and no doubt are truly grateful to t h e Conservative Government.

The American Diabetic Asso- ciation urges diabetics to keep a two month supply of Insulin or oral hypoglycemic tablets on hand at all times. They also should store enough canned foods dry cereals and powdered milk to permit them to follow their prescribed diet.

Why? Many diabetics Would be trapped by their disease if a nuclear war occurred and they had no medication. Those requir- ing large amounts of Insulin might survive all the bullets and bombs but might not live 1 days without this extract. And this is not a small problem con- sidering there are 2 million dia- ibetics In this country.

Mistreoted

Sour notes from Bulgaria dur- bg the last week marred the oft-played Communist tune that all is harmony in racial rela- tions behind the Iron Curtain.

T West‘s racial troubles have long been a favorite theme for the propaganda mills of the Communist world. Stories of race riots and discrimination have been disseminated by Communist news agencies in places calculated to do commu- n the most good. A principal target has been the emerging nations of Africa.

Many of the new-nation stu- dents who are receiving higher education In Communist coun- tries went with a sympathetic attitude to w a r d communism above all convinc they would not find discrimination there because of race color or creed. Some found different.

exodus of Negro students from Bulgaria has let the world know about discrimi- nation in that country and given the West a fortuitous but con- siderable ideological victory. STUDENTS QUIT
