To Aid Crop Insurance

We are more directly interested than the other Atlantic provinces in legislation introduced by Agri- culture Minister Hays in the House of Commons yesterday. The meas- ure will allow Ottawa to underwrite some of the risk involved in provin- cial crop insurance plans, and takes the form of an amendment to the present Crop insurance Act passed in 1959. it follows representations to the government, largely by Man- itoba which has the largest crop in- surance program. Saskatchcwan and Prince Edward Island are the only other provinces affected.

. The first province in the crop insurance field (1960). Manitoba is still insuring wheat. oats, barley, flax and sugar beets only in test areas. This coverage insures half the farmers of the province for a total liability of $12.2 million. The goal. if the new foilcral legislation passes. is a total liability of $25 million to .30 million.

' Saskatchewan insures wheat. oats and barley. It has 1.337 insured farmers for a total liability of about. $2.15 million. The plan has been operating since 1962. Prince Ed‘ ward Island has insured cereal crops and potatoes since 1962 when it took a relatively heavy loss in its first year on the potato crop.

i A survey of the other provinces shows that Nova Scotia and Alberta have passed enabling legislation and expect. to get into operation in 1965. Ontario is still on the. sidelines after a royal Commission inquiry. while British Columbia is toying with the idea of insuring its apple crop.

‘ Canada's present federal legis. lation allows Ottawa to reimburse the provinces for premium subsidies up to 20 per cent. The farmer pays 80 cents on each dollar of premium, and the federal government contrib- utes ‘20 cents through the prov- inces. Ottawa also reimburses the province for 50 percent of adminis- trative costs. I

In addition, where. a province is required to pay out indemnities which exceed its premium receipts for the year, plus its reserves, plus $200,000. Ottawa agrees to lend up to 75 per cent of the excess of in- terest rates to be specified. This plan will be replaced by reinsur- ance, with the. provinces turning over to the federal government a proportion of the premium receipts still to be settled. Following the lines of the Manitoba proposals, Ottawa will reimburse. the province for 75 per cent of inrlomnities paid which exceed (a) premium receipts for the year, plus (1)) two and a half per cent of total liabilities.

The new measure is aimed at securing provincial revenues against crop failures while reserves are low. and is not expected to involve

That Pension Program Of more practical concern than the flag issue to many thousands of Canadians is the fate of the contrib- utory pension program, and how long it will have to mark time at Ottawa until an amendment to the BNA Act can be obtained from the Britioh;Parliament. The constitu- tiomil Intendment is needed to pro- vide-benefits for survivors and the doubled. .

position has reminded him, there is l

a possibility that the British House could be dissolved for a fall election before the amendment has gonI through.

Aside from this chance. time will elapse in Ottawa before I request can go to London. First a resolution favoring the amendment must pass through the Canadian Commons and Senate. Before that and much oth- er vital business can be tackled in the Commons, though, Mr. Pearson’s flag threatens to tie the House in knots for days on end.

Commenting on this aspect of the case, the Guelph Mercury argues that until Canada’s Parliament has the power to amend our constitu— tion it cannot truthfully be asserted that the last "vestige of colonialism" has been shed. But we hear little from the must ardent champions of nationalism about scrapping this provision. Quebec in particular. as the Ontario paper points out, has traditionally demurred at proposals for full Canadian autonomy in con- stitutional affairs. This reflects ap- prehension in that province that end- ing the constitutional jurisdiction of the British Parliament might be followed by French-Canadian min- ority rights under the BNA Act being jeopardized or watered down.

More Vital Than Ever

To many observers in the Far East, it now seems more than ever vital to bring Communist China out of its angry isolation and in- clude its leaders in talks on limita- tion of armaments. The Chinese have already declared that they will not be bound by any disarmament treaty which they have not been consulted about or asked to sign. For the time being, the Western planners may feel the Chinese can be ignored; their main concern still has to he with modernizing agri- culture and feeding their people. But from the day they have nuclear weapons, they can be ignored no longer.

‘ No one can say when this break- through will be achieved, but that it will come seems pretty certain. When China does finally acquire a. stock of nuclear weapons, it could mean big changes in the whole power situation. with immediate ef- fects in Asia. 0f the other countries in the Far East with any industrial capacity, India and Japan have de- clared formally that they do not in- tend to make nuclear weapons. But

if China had them. they might have

to think again.

The place to end Red China‘s isolation. surely. is in the United Nations, which may face a show- down on this issue at the next As- sembly meeting in the fall. Exter- nal Affairs Minister Martin has been discussing this matter in guarded terms at Ottawa. without any commitment but clearly with the intention of educating public opinion as to the danger inherent in the present situation.

Water Safety Week

This week is a time for those who will soon be taking part in wat~ er activities to give thought to the safety precautions which every in- telligent person should keep in mind. How often are they neglected, with calamitous results! 96 children be- tween the ages of 7 and 16 were drowned in Canada last year. It is one of the purposes of Water Safety Week to focus the attention of parents upon precautions which may avert these disasters. and spare themselves lifelong grief.

There is no lack of available in- formation as to the precautionary measures that are necessary, and it is gratifying to note the increasing interest which is being taken in Canadian Red Cross programs in this connection. In Prince Edward Island last year, there was an en- rollment Of 7,163 in Red Cross swim- ming and water safety courses, with 105 communities participating un- der a trained staff of 88 instructors. This year it is expected the enroll- ment will go over the 9.000 mark.

Every youngster should be en- couraged to take advantage of these courses, now that summer is mov- ing in and the beaches are beckon- mg.

THE LONG COUNT-DOWN

DELAYED JUSTICE

The Shomeiul Case Of Eric Claude Hooper

Liberal ministers appeared to be honestly surprised at the in- dignation of Conservative and NDP members over the case of Eric Claude Hooper of Buffalo who spent 100 days in custody in Toronto before being deported.

Young ministers such as lm- migration Minister Tremblay may have yet to learn that de. lay of justice ls injustice a n d that the preservation of justice is. as Daniel Defoe said. the chief end of government. If they and their Government are to survive. they better start in- forming themselves.

The Government naturally claimed extenuating circum- stances in the case of the long I delay in justice to Mr. Hooper but Justice Minister Favreau found it necessary to assure the Commons that steps have been taken to prevent recurrence which might be taken as an ad- mission of failure.

Ottawa Journal

It is not as if the ministers had never been reminded of their duty to justice. As recently as May 22. Mr. John R. Matheson tL-Lcedsl made a strong — and successful — speech in th 9 House in support of an amend- ment to the Criminal Code to allow appeal in habeas corpus. In the course of that debate Mr. Matheson quoted with dis- may the ease of a man in Sud- bury who was sent to jail fo r seven days and was still in jail 83 days later. Mr. Favrcau. as Justice Minister. congratulated Mr. Matheson and approved ms amendment. apparently un- aware of Mr. Hooper‘s plight as a prisoner at that time or of

I other cases suggesting delayed

justice which have been brought to the attention of the Goveln- ment in recent days.

soon after that Mr. Hooper was informed he could have legal aid but made no effort to obtain it. ! Mr. Hooper was legally held " under the Immigration Act i while he refused to answer que- stions. said the minister. This was inadequate explanation. es. pecially when a Conservative member. Mr. Woolliams. said Mr. Hooper might have been held for five years on the same authority.

Mr. Tremblay says there is a system under which Ottawa is informed if anyone is held more than a week under immigration law. A system is no use unless someone makes it work. It. IS small comfort to Mr. Hooper or the public conscience that Mr. Tremblay now says that "in the future" proceedings Initiated by his department will always be as expeditious as possible.

Yet the further the regulatory arm of government extends .a- to the economy, the more likely it II to create complicated ruch Ind regulations that 'dlscourazc people from getting into busin- ess or actively encourage them ~ to get out.

Take, for example, the night- mare of paperwork shaping up in pensions.

Ontario was the first to issue I pension questionnaire to com- panies. Most firms found its de- mInds substantially increased rthelr office work loads.

Now comes the Saskatchewan:

orm —- quite different from Oi.-

tario’s and drawn up with little or no reference to standard our iness practice. ‘

Saskatchewan's pension ques- tionnaire will force most com panics with employees in the province to reorganize their re cords completely to make tin- required information available.

Its questions will require com pany actuarles to prepare pen sion valuations far more extcn~ sive than those made in accor dance with the strictest proies

Nighlmors O‘TPPtoperwork

Its reporting deadline of 120 days after the end of the calcu- dur - is totally unrealistic when In many large com unit it takes actuaries six moriihs oi more to complete pension caicu lItlous. even with aid of elec ra- nlc computers.

If Saskatchewan were the air. 1y province to make detailed the closure demands. no doubt. the corporations concerned would eventually be able to m e at them.

But what will happen In the offices of nation-wide employer. when other provinces present their questionnaires as went Will corporations have to hire a new platoon of Iciuaries for every province that gets into the pension business?

.Very plainly, compliance with existing laws already costs “.n- dividuals and firms unmeasur- ed millions of dollars.

Surely here is I case where a little common sense co-operr. tion among the bureaucrats of each province would produce a fairly uniform pension quls tionnaire and minimize ne w paperwork costs for busines;..

Failure to act sensibly in the common interest will only has- ten the process whereby gov- ernment as Alexis de Tocqu- vill pointed out.
