‘Taking a detached.Jook at Prime Minister Pearson’s problem in pulling His mifiority government.t o gether after its sharp election setback, the, Christian Science Monitor predicts _ that his prospects of success lie less if the legislation he introduces than ' at ‘this ability to. master a new. Parlia-

. The next few weeks, indeed, “will be a crisis of confidence.” On one issue, however, both Parliament and the Prime Minister will have to _ fate up eventually to the irate Cana- “dian housewife. High pres are rals- —<“$ng her hackles. “~~ As ‘seen by this Bostorr sana ob international repute, inflation is the most urgent Canadian worry next to

‘foreign dangers. It grips politics and

economics alike. The nation’s leading |

economists, like their American _counterparts, can’t agree about the

act ‘as the instrument of the Govern- ment of Canada for supporting, en- ~couraging and developing” its. prog-

| rams and activities; and we are’left to wonder at the meaning the phrase

is intended to convey. The Toronto Star, which support:

| Why, it says, should young people be asked to volunteer and accept hard ‘working conditions and mediocre pay in some Eskimo settlement or

is an excellent one, the Toronto pap- er concedes; if properly handled, it's ‘bound to generate warm responses among Canadians—middle-aged as we]! as young. It affords a chance for individuals to do something about poverty; illiteracy,~mutual fear and || suspicion—the ills that make life

and millions in the rest of the world.

in short, to noble objectives. But the young men and women

According to The Star, the. whole; eport of the CYC committee is a de pressing document, written in a Iang- uage that combines officialese and the

to halt the price rise. They may get * 4t in the spring budget. But the fiscal

remedies—higher taxes perhaps—are |

likely to rub the wrong way, too. . Also noted is that in the next six. months Ottawa may act to slow the flow of constitutional power and revenues from the federal to the pro- vincial governments. Power is flood- ing that way in Canada, in the precise opposite direction to how it flows in “the United States. There the federal government is taking on more power and the states less. The centrifugal movement in Canada can surge fur- ther still. But there are limits. And in a series of decisive meetings with the provinces during the next half year the federal government’ will . probably try to dam the river some- - how. But it won't be easy. It may ‘indeed prove more sticky even than ‘partisan strivings in an unstable Par- * liament of minorities.

The Monitor also,notes that auto- mation is elbowing its way to the front as a major Canadian problem. |. A strike in British Columbia and a

Big Possibilities

From: Washington comes news of a “major breakthrough” inthe search fora solution to the world food crisis. The answer, according to experts of the U.S. Interior Department’s Bur- . eau of Commercial Fisheries, lies in a new powdered fish concentrate with . a rated 80 per cent protein content ° which under commercial production could end “protein starvation” for an estimated two-thirds of the human race.

This sounds over-optimistic. But feasibility studies indicate that if only the unharvested fish in U.S. coastal waters were translated into the new concentrate it would provide the nor- mal protein requirements of 1,000 million people for 300 days at a base - production of half a ‘cont per person a day. ; The new ‘code has been certi- fied as “pure and wholesome” by the National Academy .of Sciences. and National Research Foundation, which carried out extensive investi- gations covering bacterial and toxic aspects as well as cost engineering studies. The two h or-

from the loss of jobs are now making | the! rounds. One definite concensus

has: already come to the surface. The first order of business seems to be to train more professional men and skilled technicians to cope with the __ Computer Age.

There are other problems involv-~

ed in Mr. Pearson's “crisis of con- fidence,” but certainly the ones above “noted are not to be taken lightly. ~~. Uninspiring.: © In the Speech from the Throne

ast April, Parliament was asked to .

economic and social development both

in Canada and abroad.” This was to be a Canadian version- of the Ameri- cari peace corps, and stress wag. laid

on its importance by government ’ * gpokesmien. Little was heard about it

after Parliament was dissolved for

__ the Nov. 8 election, but we now-have- -a report of the organizing committee of the company,. setting forth in more detail the objectives in response to queries from thousands of young Canadians who have asked how they. es participate.
