The Broader VlSlon "The reenactment. of the visit of the Fathers of Confederation to Charlottetown received nation-wide publicity last week. It also inspired some. interesting reflections on how the Fathers, were they to re- turn at this time, would seek to improve upon their efforts in shap- ing a broadening destiny for the country. In what, way would they wish to change conditions they had not. foreseen but. which have since arisen? They builded. indeed, bet- ter than they knew; but, how would they build if only they had known more? This point is raised by the Mont.- real Gazette. which suggests that. the Fathers would, for one thing. realize that they had no real con- ception of the responsibilities they were placing on the provinces when they assigned them the fields of education, health. and roads. They would be the first, surely, to admit i that their work of 1864 would have to be refashioned to help the prov- ‘ inces to meet, the changes brought about in the intervening years. Education was no great question when schooling was not compulsory i at any age, and when the univer- sities. small as they were. were left largely to churches to support. As for health. little was known about illness. and sick persons were al- most always cared for at home. Nor were roads any great concern in the days of horse and carriage. when 'even in the cities many streets were unpaved. or covered only with a little macadam. and when snow and ice became the winter pave- ment. for the sleighs. The Fathers even believed that the per capita financial respon- sibility of the provinces. so far from growing. would decline with the years. As municipalities grew and multiplied, they, with their tax on property, would relieve the provin- cial governments of many obliga- tions. Changed beyond all recognition is the situation in this regard; and there can be no question that the Fathers, looking about themselves today. would he the. first to admit that their work of NM would have to be refashioned to help the prov— inces meet the changes. So far from standing rigidly on what they had done. they would urge Cana- dians to be as flexible in approach In would urge the same spirit of re- Unspeciacular Progress The United Nations is up to its most part are a direct result of re- fusals by more than half the mem- bers to pay their share of the funds to keep it going. Fortunately. there appears to be no unwillingness among the debtor nations to con- tribute to one phase of the organ nation’s'program—a phase which has been operating unspectacularly but with gratifying success since Its creating in 1959, and which is him as the United Nations we] Fund. Me countries. Governments ” nations contribute to it, and projects are under a low-income regions, from surveys of natural to training of skilled 'man- - cost of the effort so ' flinch—40 per cent pro- 1' MItaelfandOOper ' ‘ countries. A ‘ - more than the services It Is render- :.ng under this program, Its exist- ance would be justified. Lately, for example, an effective counterattack has been mounted against the plague of desert locusts. a scourge since Biblical times. It may soon be brought under permanent control. In this favored part of the world. we find it hard to imagine what this achievement would mean. A square mile of desert locusts weigh an estimated 300 tons and eat their own weight in food each day. Vast armies of them swarm through Asia. Africa and the Middle East. In Ethiopia alone they devoured enough crops in 1958 to feed one million people a year. The UN fund has developed new techniques to seek out and destroy their breed- ing zones. An international network provides three weeks’ advance warn- ing of their activities. Other tangible achievements have been scored throughout the underdeveloped w o r l d. Tunisian farmers increasing their milk pro- duction through new cattle feeding methods. construction of the first major hydroelectric plant in the Sudan. soil surveys showing that idle lands in southern Togo can be used for large scale production of fruit and sugar cane are but a. few of the examples cited in a UN report. Canada. of course. contributes to this fund and takes pride in doing so. In UN Secretary General Thant's words there are few if any obliga- tions more urgent. and few if any . programs of international assistance helping more effectively in the pro- motion of world peace and security. Mr. Jodoio's Warning The increase in "hard core" un- employment brought about by auto- mation was emphasized by Presi- dent Claude Jodoin of the Canadian Labor Congress In his Labor Day message this year. And it is high time indeed that this problem was receiving some attention in Canada. It should be worrying our politicians at Ottawa 9. lot more than some of the issues over which they are wrangling at. interminable length. In the United States, Congress has approved a thorough study of this subject and its implications. _ A 14 member national commission will do the work and issue a. report by Jan. I, 1966. Do we propose to wait in Canada until this report Is available, instead of grappling with the problem ourselves? The U.S. study was prompted, in part, by doubt among economists that automation is merely another chapter in industrial progress. What is being seen now is that it is noth- Ing less than a revolution in pro- duction. What we are confronted with is a unique combination—the com- puter and the automated self-regu- lating machine. This, it is claimed, puts us on the threshhold of a sys. tem of almost unlimited productive capacity which requires progres- sively less human labor. Already it is known that in the United States more than half of the new jobs created since 1957 were in the public sector—mainly in teaching. Job creation in the private sector of the economy, except in service industries, has not been encouraging. Economic expansion is moving at an accelerated pace, yet nearly four million Americans can- not find work. About 1.2 million of these are teenagers. With the bumper crop of post-World War 11 babies scheduled to descend on the labor market in the next few years, more and more jobs will have to be found. Still, automation marches forward. It is argued that without com~ puters, advanced machinery and technological progress, industry would be atalemated. But the chal- lenge does not lie in prohibiting modern inventiveness. It lies In making automation a genuine boon —not a bane—for the working classes as well as for other aeg- ments of the population. That is why a study in depth is so import- ant to Canadians as well as to our American neighbors. EDITORIAL NOTE From Ottawa comes the report that while the defense department Is in the process of shedding public relations staff, the new industry department will hire as informs.- tlon officers.

OLYMPIC TRIALS IN SOUTH AFRICA Reaching The Point Of No Return CAPETOWN Last month! may Stand in South Africa po- . litical history as the period in which Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd made his decisive break- through to the English - speak- Ing community here, and ‘ which while South Africans gen- erally passed the point of no an- } luntary) return on the apart-l heid course. The tre nd in this direction was perceptible long before South Africa quit the Common- , wealth In 1961. But the clrcum- stances of that event and the other pressures to isolate this . country which it encouraged ! gave that movement new mom- ' entum. To all such pressures has been a predicrably born reaction which, though often camouflaged In uncon-. cern, has brcd sympathy Wllll: 1r.

He brushed aside the as- surance that this was historical- ly authentic with these words: "Even If Cartier did not speak French at. the conference. there should have been some at thls performance." Thus Mr. usage, who seems bent on meklng a career or having his own way, Is ready to exchange the French fact for the French fiction. He felt he had been Insulted and that only a rewriting of history would atone. His patently unreasonable M.- titude might be dismissed as an amusing tantrum but for the fact that Mr. Lesage showed a disappointing failure to grasp the significance of Sir Georges Etienne Center's willlngness to speak in English on that day to 1364.
