Premier Shaw's Address Faith. vision and courage were the predominant attributes of the Fathers of Confederation; and there is no doubt that they are needed in equal measure in solving our prob- lems today, as Premier Shaw re- minded his hearers at the special centennial convocation at St. Dun- stan‘s University on Saturday. The Premier's address was on a high level: worthy. indeed. .‘of the statesmen whose achievement in nation building we are honoring at this time. Nowhere did it. descend to an airing of provincial grievances, but stuck rather to the broad high- way of national objectives—to the need, chiefly. “for the cultivation of a spirit of togetherness." It was in this spirit. he em- phasized. that the just rights. econo- mic and otherwise, of all our people should be protected. that their leg- itimate aspirations, independence and self-respect may be achieved. The question of language and cul- ture was not. alone in its disturbing elements. More serious to his mind. in this respect. was the problem of fiscal need and the provision for the establishment of reasonable equality of opportunity and service for Canadians everywhere. All provinces have not been en» dowerl with the same standards of wealth and natural advantages. but all have made substantial contri- butions to Canadian welfare. The strengthening and maintenance of the overall economy in all its aspects is not only a responsibility of federal authorities but also of provincial ad- ministrators. The Premier spoke for a prov- lnce which. next to Newfoundland. has the lowest per capita income figure in Canada. He did not men- tion this. nor the fact that the new formula of tax revenue concocted at Ottawa constitutes a glaring dis- regard of the principle of fiscal need so far as we are concerned. He as- sumed. doubtless. that his fellow premiers from the other Atlantic provinces. Quebec and Ontario were well aware of the treatment we have received. He left. them to draw their own conclusions about how he felt on this score: but he was emphatic in declaring that under no circum- stances was there justification at this time. in any province. for talk of separation or disunion. Rather was it a time. preeminentiy. for the exchange of ideas based on under- standing and compromise. Words. we trust. which will carry their full weight of meaning across Canada today. .

It is a threat to the whole country. The Goldwater approach to' nuclear wea- pons. the Goldwater formula for mastering Communism. the Gold. water view of civil rights. the Gold- water attitude toward trade and aid, social security, education. pover- ty, taxation—these are only some of the reasons why his Presidency would be calamitous." it would be directly harmful to Canada as well. since he is presum- ably convinced that Washington should take a tougher stand in res- tricting Canadian imports. Surely he cannot be unaware of the tre- mendous imbalance in favor of the United States in its trade dealings with Canada. But in this. as in oth- er matters. he appears to be ob- sessed with the idea of coming up with “simple answers to complex problems." which is another way of saying that it is his emotional reactions and not his understanding that govern his policy statements. More Apples To Britain Farmers in the Annapolis Valley, and indeed throughout Canada. will be cheered by the British govern- ment's announcement that the re- striction on imports of canned ap- ples into the United Kingdom will be remoyed on August 1 and that meanwhile the import licences will be freely granted. Until this announcement, canned apples were one of a handful of items still subject to import quotas in Britain. For many years after the war there were widespread quota restrictions on imports from (the dollar area (including Canada). These were progressively relaxed after the British balance of pay- ments position had improved and by 1960 virtually all of them had been eliminated. The quota on canned apples in the 1963-64 season was 5.800.000. the equivalent of $4.400.000. Its remov- al will mainly benefit this country. which in 1963 sold 98 per cent of her exports of canned apples in the British market. It, is worth noting that almost all Canadian exports are admitted to the United Kingdom duty free. In the past three years Canadian ex- ports to this big market—particu- lary manufactured goods—have ris- en rapidly. At the same time there has been a large increase in the im- balance of trade between the two countries. In the first four months of this year Canada’s exports to Britain were running at an annual rate of approximately $1.100 million and her imports from Britain were running at approximately $560 mil- lion. Unfair To Widows At their recent national conven- tion. the Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs drew attention to a special hardship created under our tax sys- tem. They urged unanimously that those receiving survivors’ an- unities or pension should be permit- ted to pay the estate tax on the in- stalment plan. It was suggested that the, tax could be collected at source from the monthly or other periodical payments. It is often hard on a widow. if she receives an annuity or pension under her husband's will. that she has to pay succession duties at once on the total value. The value to her is estimated in accordance with what she would pay if she were buying it for herself. And the tax has“ to be paid in one lump sum. even though the benefits will only be received in instalments over the years to come. The weight of this tax. coming all at once. may constitute a. real hardship in certain cases. The solution above proposed seems rea- sonable and equitable. And it is one that the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has advocated in its an- nual briefs to the Minister of Fin- ance and the Minister of National Revenue. It is the principle (as the Chamber of Commerce puts it) "that. instalment payments of tax on assets received in instalments should be permitted." EDlTORlAL NOTE The British Parliament has given unanimous final approval to a bill setting aside an acre of land at an- cient Runnymede to the United States for a memorial to the late President Kennedy. A gracious Wand one that will be widely appreciated.

Civil Defense Puzzle Montreal Gazette " How real is civil defence? No one could tell. by sfydying the policies Canadian Govern- ments have adopted over the years. the latest move is change the role of the militia once again. It had been given the primary role in civil de- fence. It. was to re-enter bomb- ed areas. trained to do what could be done. But now its civil defence role will dwindle away. The militia will be back in the military rolevit had before. sup- porting the permaneni force in active defence. For many years civil defence was lefr. vaguely enough. to ci- villans. Thenit was not only transferred to the militia. but in 1959-60 the Diefenbaker gov- ernment proposed the training of 100,000 civilians. in associa- tion with the militia. The plan was largely carried .

Those who inhabit the earth at that time will be blessed with im- mori lty. It is here that Professor 1% finger proposes a plan that might benefit our present gen- eration. The body of today’s man must be preserved indefi- nitely after death in such a way that he can revived. cured of his fatal condition. and rejuven- ated if necessary by the super- sclenust of the future. He tells how.this might be accomplish- ed in his book “The Prospect of Immortality" (Doubleday and ork. 1964). professor‘s optimistic views on this subject are with- in the realms of possibility. in his opinion. the body will be preserved by freezing. We have a crude technique at present but improvements will be needed to provide suspended death. Various tissues have been frozen and revived in the labor. story. Sperm endure the low temperatures of liquid nitrogen for some months without losing their ability to reprOdUce. Per- haps this chilly hibernation can be accomplished through the usa of liquid helium for extre- mely low temperatures and gly- cerol to protect the cells from freezing damage. Professor Et- tinger discusses at length our present knowledge of th 0 s e techniques. The remainder of the book is a followup on what to expect if his deepfreeze method should be adopted. The way pr ed for the repair rad t'ejuve"“t'cti of the revived body are still in the science fiction siege. From this point on. he considers the moral. legal. and economic as- pecls, including the embarrass- ing problem of coming back to three wives. All I can say is the plan will be a miserableblot on the his- tory of mankind if freezing fails to preserve our sense or hu- mor. N0 TEAM C. D.

There are festivals everywhere all through the summer months. The person who de- cides to start a new one has to determine not only which is the most appropriate month but whether it. is safer to clash with this or that already existing festival. The concept of the arts fea- lival has altered radically in the last 25 years. Before 1939. .‘ a music festival was either competitive or it was a festive local jamboree. either (lea-ign- ed entirely for the participants and their friends and neighbors or to honor the local genius. A modern definition of a les- tival might be: A collection of artistic events given in a plus- ant place. The events may have some connecting theme. such as the age and inspiration of Bach at Oxford. or the per- sonal artistic predilectiona of Britten at Aldeburg-h. or the annually teamed composer at Edinburgh. But festivals can flourish without any such theme and without any specific connec- tion between the events and the place. The Lucerne festival began through the proximity of Wag- ner's villa. ’l‘niebodllen. by now it has lost this specific re- ference and simply comprises a lot of attractive concerts. The Alx-en-Provence festival has ac- quired a reputation for Mozart opera. and for the appearance them of singers who will be world famous in two or three years. but what the Aix festi- val really celebration is the town itself. The festival has. to ma ny places. become an excuse for boosting the (wrist traffic. .
