Deficit when for decades travel receipts she 71 Canada has recently become such potion of travellers that Canadians spend more money abroadpcr capita each year than residents of any other country in the North Atlantic area This statement appears in the current issue of The Bank of Montreal Business Review and is not hard to believe when one considers the number of local people who are somewhere in the South at the present time numbers of others who have been away and are now back home and numbers planning to depart in com ng weeks All this of course is their own bus iness and if they want to get away from it all the snow and ice and what have you more power to them We are looking at it only dram an economic point of view But as result of all this including trips to Europe and the Far East Canada now regularly runs significant deficit on travel account in contrast to the period prior to 1051 sistently exceeded expenditures The deficit in 1960 mounted to over $200 million By that year Canadian tourist expenditures abroad had risen to an alltime high of $627 million nearly three times as great as the total spent in 1950 On the bright side expenditures by foreign tourists in Canada have also been rising although not to the same extent and in 1980 at $420 million were larger source or recelpts for Canada than any commodity export with the exception of newsprint All of this is fine We cant expect people to visit our country if we dont visit theirs The main thing is to ad vertisc as you travel tell your hosts what wonderful place Canada is and they should visit it Then it wont be long until the balance of tourist trade is even iGeneral Wolfe Remembered General James Wolfe who changed the history of Canada is very much Xavoritc of the English too There are carefully kept associations with Wolfe in many places in England from Ports rnouth to Cheshire Chief among these is Quebec House at Westerham in Kent which was the boyhood home of James Wolfe it is now owned by Britains National Trust the body which exists to look after places of historic architectural and scenic interest Kept as museum Quebec House contains many interesting relics of the youthful General whose surprise tactics atWolfes Cove and valor on the Plains of Abraham over come the wellcommanded French forces and brought the present Domin ion of Canada under the British crown Gabled Quebec House was known in Wolfes time as spiers but was re named in honor of the famous victory 9n the village green at Westerham is statue of Wolfe erected in 1911 The parish church contains beautiful stainedgloss window to his memory Wolfes commissions and many of his letters are preserved at Equerryes Court seventeenthcentury mansion to the south of Westerham if At the age of ii Wolfe left Wester ham and spent most of the rest of his life in Greenwich the Thamesside town now suburb of London that has so many associations with the great names of Britains history Macartney House on Greenwich Park Wall was the home of James Wolfes parents from 1751 onwards He lived for time however in Bath the beauti ful Regency town in Englands west country and it was from No Trim Street in Bath that he left to take command of the forces against Mont calm General James Wolfe never saw his native land again but his body was brought back for burial On the lovely terrace in Greenwich Park hard by the zero meridian from which longitude and time are measured stands the im pressive statue of Wolfe which was the gift of the Canadian nation It was designed by the Canadian sculptor Tait Mackenzie and unveiled by the Marquis of Montcalm The height of land at Greenwich on which the statue stands is rather reminiscent of the one that made Wolfes name famous throughout the world Here as at Quebec vast river side panorama is spread out before the eyewith the difference that on both banks of the Thames the sprawling bulk of London fills the landscape as far as one can see The cloak which Wolfe was wearing when he died at Quebec is displayed in the White Tower which is the cen tral keep of the Tower of London The flag in which his body waswrapped to be carried off the Plains of Abraham hangs in chapel of Chester Cathedral in the north of England The Cheshire Regiment was one of the gallant bands who fought on the memorable day Monuments to Wolfe are to be found both in Westminster Abbey and in the parish church of St Alfege at Green wich built by Wrens pupil Nicholas Hawsmoor The generals personal standard hangs here too He was bur led in the family vault in the church after being brought home with an escort of the fleet and landed with full mil itary honors at Portsmouth on the 17th of November 1759 Other Editors Views PUNCTURED ROMANCE Peterborough Examiner recent

PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWAOne oi the most consistent critics of the Con4 servutlvo government is your old Azcllus Denis Montreal lawyer who has sat in Parlia mcnius Liberal MP for ex actly half his lifetime Mr Dcnls favorite and only target is Postmaster General Hamilton his shafts con cern inefficiencies and robber ies in st offices and what he eviden considers the child like vanity of Mr Hamilton The record of poor service and rising costs gives Mr Denis ample ammunition but he has yet to strike the gold which lies in our public accounts showing that proHamilton surpluses of about $8 million $10000000 and $0000000 in the years 195557 have dwindled sadly to become $5 million deficit last year in the operations of our post office Mr Denis threw one of his typical curves at Mr Hamilton on the latters birthday last week Wishing him the happiest birthday ever he added His work is very burdensome in volvlng as it does extensive travelling scooter driving an nib changing and so forth or his own good wish him long healthy and he py retirement away from po tics after the next election But in spite of those motor counters and the replacement of steel nlbs with ballpoints and in spite of higher wage bills QUEENS PARK largely caused by huge addlc tions to the army of lettercor rlcrs the service deteriorates And in spite of 20 per cent increase in revenue during his four years as postmaster $6 000000 loss be time of letter deliveries it very clear that Mr when not seck lo emu Vkespcaras Puck who lll put girdle round about the earth in forty minutes Nor does he match cosmonaut Glenn who girdled the earth in so minutes In fact the Hamilton delivery service lhls me letter which had taken 04 hours to travel one mile across Ottawa slower than the us post office took to carry aj letter from New York or the British post office to fly letter from England both delivered at the some time as that Ottawa tortoise which moved at one 11 half millionth of Glenns speed lessthan two feet per min Our post office today is 200000000 al business seven times the size it was quarter of century ago Typ ically today postal service in Toronto costs 317000000 year and in Montreal $18000000 these two cities alone exceeding the snnual 330900000 cost of the whole of Canada in 1936 MrDenis is an assiduous coir lector of complaints about the post office Recently we have

of it But it was caution that was quite clear in the figures themselves The warning was that we might educate ourselvesinto bankruptcy This years budget had no sensations one way or the other There were no bold new steps And neither was there any hold retrenchment it was budget in fact in which you had to dig deep to find the real signif leance But it was there all right There in the fact that quietly spending is continuing toini crease and more important much more importantthe rela tive cost of government to the income of the people is not only increasing but accelleratlng at rats from which one can take fright COST TO TAXPAYER One practical way to look at budget is at what it is casting holder the average taxpayer is paying in relation to what in earns This is the figure that has meaning in contrast to the fac that the government is spending more than billion dollars The big spending Is just pie lnthcshy figure in the average cilizcn ilut when he knnws what is going out of his own pocket he can give serious thought as to whether too much is being spent and whether at least gov orlnmerit should be more care Figures in this years budget show that the head of house hold of four an average tax payer is paying out testas his share of the cost of running the province This is pretty sizeabla chunk out of the average nans annual pay cheque It can be startling when you consider that federal and municipal taxes come on top of it But the alarming factor is the way it is growing FIGURES WERE LOWER Five years ago the compare tive figure was only $535 This Is an increase of SIMin the intervening period But in the coming year the jump in relation to this is going to be sensational For on the forccast figures the increase will be $71 or 12 per cent in the one year There are two fields of spend ing which are mainly respon sible for this skyrocketing the taxpayer What the house One the more minor one is health The second is education It is whcro we are going really into the hole And though it is almost re garded as treason to say so to day this is field at which we are going to have in take look oming brought TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 1902 In

months after the birth of my baby and am still dependent on them Otherwise become painfully constipatedMRS Use of them temporarily is understandable Some people do have this trouble in pregnancy 0n
