Under Liberal Fire

1t is interestin: to note that crit- icism of the tiortitui Coiiiiiiission re- port is cutting straiglit across poll- tical party lines. in the llouse of Commons lilr. A, .l. ltlacl-Zachern. Liberal member for lnverness-Rich- nioiid and an ecoiioiiiic professor at St. l'i'aiicis Vuricr l'tiivcrsily. took issue with lls conclusion about the pmnnmy of the Atlantic Provinces. it had made no proposals for it tim- pml pi-ogiwiiit of Maritime devoluti- nujnt and it nus htllll of stop illlll the curroiit feeling of reasoned opti- misin" in the area. Mr. J. R. liirk. l.ilicr;tl mcmlier for Aiitigoiiisli- (;u)stitiI'(illQtl. said that instead of inviting 'li.iritiinei's to "l'tU.V R '"l'" way ticket to Upper Canada" the r-ppm-t should hate dealt r-onsti'Lic- fiyply nith mt-aiis of enabling Muri- timc fislicrnieii to improve theio nailing facilities and fish marketing services, These members, of course. had the report before them and were not dept-iidinc On newspaper summaries which the Commission alleges were misleading.

Strong criticism also conics from tiie Wiiinipeg Free Press. ('aiiada's leading Liberal newspapt"l'. which says the report is "deeply disappoiiit- ing." "if it was not written in a hurry. with only superficial thought. one must conclude that it was writ- ten with it lot of argument-with the inevitable result that. at various points. someone put his foot down or thrmv up his hands in despair, and 'let it go at tlititl." The (Tom- mlssion, it says. had a good research staff. and is going to publish it long series of studies. Some of these may illuminate particular Canadian proli- lems for years to come: "but the Commission itself has chosen to have itself judged by the interim

report which it regards as so im- portant that it had to be rushed out in good time for discussion and di- gestion before the federal election." This comment is given point by the rumor at Ottawa that Mr. Wal- ter Gordon. Toronto accountant who headed the Commission, will likely be offered in cabinet post as a re- warri for his efforts. succeeding Ti-ado: lliiiister linwe. Re this as it rn.-ty. the Winnipeg paper certainly cannot be accused of partisan bias when it concludes that the report is pnythirig but a iiiasicrpiet-r-. "it is going in he called something wnlise than superficial." it warns. "Half- linkcd is more m':tct."

Perhaps the "browning-ofl"' treat- ment it is now tZettiltE across the country will rciiietiy this defect!

The Second Terrr.

l'l.'t'tSlft(lllil Eisenhower formally begins his second term of office backed by an overwhelnung man- date t'rom his fellow cit,i7.e.ns and supported by the good wishes of all the peoples of the free world. It is to be hoped that his health will per- mit him to carry the manifold and arduous responsibilities attached to his office for the ftill chnstittitional period.

Tn he sure. Mr. Eisenhower starts out under an apparent handicap in that both Houses of Congress are under Democratic control, in fact which. conceivably. could make it difficult for him to carry out his programs. That handicap. however. iimore apparent than real. since in gr past Democrats have supported

main policies more consistently lid with a grater meinlre of agree- rfp.-nt than the ultrti-conservative WINK of the Republican Party. There it reason to believe that this state of affair-I will be continued during the life ti the new Cannon; and even the most outspolcn critics in pit own party In aid to be Ian intractable than formerly. owing no to the abut penonll victory

proposed "Eisenhower Doctrine" had been in effect a year ago. there is reason to believe that the Middle East problems would not have de- veiopeti into such a dangerous inter- national crisis and the British-Amen ican alliance would not have suffered the unfortunate impairment which has been evident for some months past. All that. however. is water under the bridge-or. shall we say. through the Suez. The need now is not for assessment of blame for the straining of relations but rather -for a genuine rapprochement based on mutual understanding and goodwill. There is growing evidence that Mr. Eisenhower is prepared to use the powers and prestige of his office to that end: and it can be taken for granted that the British Government will meet him more than half way.

Meanwhile, whatever reservations 8ll)()llt' may have with respect to Anierican policies, there is no one in the free world iiho will not pay tribute to Mr. Eisenhower's good in- tentions and wish hit: well as he lictziiis the second and final stage of his service as President of the United States.

Western Drought

llltiritime farming is not without its problems. There must be times when it good many farmers are on the verge of discouragement. Prices of products are low. operation costs are high. and excessive freight rates make imported feeds so expensive that it is difficult enough to make ends meet. let alone make a profit. But, against all this, the land for the most part is productive: and good crops rather than poor ones are the norm. liiardly a year passes that the earth doesn't yield her increase, and total failure is unkown.

How very different are conditions in the 10 "Plains" States!-Texas. Oklahoma. New Mexico. Colorado, Kansas. Nebraska, Wyoming, Mon- tana and North and South Dakota. For five years or more these farm- ing areas have been under a more or less consistent drought. Because of water shortage and consequent lack of feed. hundreds of thousands head of cattle have had to be slaughtered before they were mar- ketable. In the entire area. it is estimated that 21 million acres of once productive land have been blown away in the form of dust. which itself has caused hundreds of millions dollars worth of direct dam- age. in some areas dust storms have been so heavy that residents have been forced to leave their homes which had become uninhabitable. On the whole. it. is the worst calamity that has ever hit any farming area on the North American Continent.

Recently. President Eisenhower. accompanied by 150 Federal avid State agricultural officials. toured the region in order that he might have some first-hand knowledge of conditions when he presents Con- gress lllttl his new fnrrn legislation.

our agricultural surpluses; it could also assist our other exports by fostering a more free inter- change of currency between the dollar and sterling areas.

C.C.F. member Erhart Regier. also from B.C.. regards aid to :- griculture as important. but less significant that the government's new step to share the wealth with lower levels of government. He referred to the proposal that fed- eral government buildings. hither- to enjoying freedom from mu ' '- pal taxation. should henceforth pay their way in each community through a federal grant of about the size of the taxes which would be payable.

This development has been wide- ly welcomed by members of All parties who agree that municipal- ities have recently been severely handicapped by their lack of rev- enue. Au M.P'ti. are quick to no how this will help their own com- munities.

"These payment: will be wel- comed, but they are definitely ov- erdue!" Conservative A n g u I Lean told me. "They will affect cspeci "y Chulottetown and Burn- merside in my province."

"This is the completion of the chapter." said Henry Hoslrlnl. voicing the Liberal view. "Among previous aid to municipalities we have had pensions to cripples. vets. the blind. and the dinbled unem- ployment payments; and so on. Now we will have the building: grants which will be u tremend- ous help to municipalities. In Guelph we should get about 83.000 each year. for the post office and customs buildings and the Arm- ouries. This will set I pattern which provincial government: will have to follow."

EX-ALDERMAN SPEAK!

Critical comment came from the C.('.F.

"Surely that is not all the gov- ernment ls intending to do for the lower levels of government?" ask- ed Erhart Regler. "Both provinc- as and municipalities are short of money. while the federal govern- ment makes the biggest slice of the tax dollar and is piling up I huge surplus. Provinceii and mun- icipnlltien are finding it impou- lble to market their band: It rea- sonable rate: of interest and they lack revenue: yet they are facing enormous demand: for new schools hospitals roads and bridges.

Do you have good stomach bab- mi

You do if you also have good eating habits. Your stomach. you no. becomes adjusted to tbe way you elt. It gets to expect a cer- tain amount of food at each meal.

Those of you who skip break- fut entirely. or have only a cup of coffee and a doughnut. may soon develop bud stomach habits.

The same is true for all of you who at 1 light lunch.

LI'l'l'LE OR NOTHING

Unfortunately. there are many persons who eat little or nothing for breakfast or for lunch. They seem to subsist chiefly on coffee and maybe a ham nndwicb and piece of pie until dinner-tlme.

Keep this up long enough and your stomach actually will rebel at antlng things substantial in the morning or at noon.

Under such circumstances It mean: that you must get all of your basic seven food: (we've dis- cussed these from time to tlmet It the evening meal- 1 virtual impossibility.

YOU NEED BREAKFAST

Even if you could eat all these vitally needed foods at one meal, it would not be it good way of supplying nourishment. The plain truth in that you need a substantial breakfast. There's no doubt about it.

Even though you sleep most of the hours between dinner and breakfast, you are burning up cal- orlea at it fairly rapid rate. In fact. you use between 1.200 and 1.500 calories during this period.

Consequently. your fuel supply is pretty low in the morning. You an replenish it by eating fruit or fruit juice. buttered bread and an egg or enriched cereal. Sometimes an egg or cereal is a good idea. Drink some milk too.

DRINKING COFFEE

Now I have nothing against cof- fee; I drink it myself. But it Ibould not take the place of milk or any other important food. Drink it in addition to. rather than ' ' J of others

If you eat a full breakfast (cereal and an egg. plus the other foods). you probably can do with a light lunch and then a full din- ner. With a medium breakfast. eat tn medium lunch and a full dinner.

If I light breakfast is necessary for some reason. then I advise eat- ing the biggest meal at noon and I fairly light supper.
