explanations have been given fdr the surprising defeat of the NDP government in Manitoba this week Some commentators interpreting the NDP defeat as sign Canadians like to throw out governments have Bill Davis trembling in his boots The only boottrembling should be in NDP circles Conservatives have warned for years of the socialist hordes at the gate The warnings have been largely ignored by the voter who rightly prefers to find out for himself than be told by those who claim they know what is best British Columbia has tossed out the NDP Ontario voters delivered stunning rebuke to the NDP in the last provincial election Now Manitoba has let the NDP go Why Cost Socialism costs and costs plenty There is ample evidence that the good to society from NDP programs comes nowhere near matching the cost To us the interesting question raised by the defeat of the Manitoba NDP is the effect on the federal govern ment Only the most radical NDPers refuse to admit the federal Liberal government is socialism under dif ferent name The cost of federal government became very apparent this week when income tax figures for 1975 were releas ed In 1975 when Barries population was about 33000 24630 residents filed income tax returns Of those 24630 people 17043 paid taxes Each paid an average of $2036 to make Barries contribution to the federal government whopping $34703000 Thirtyfour million dollars from 17043 people isnt bad particularly when it is considered the average annual income in Barrie is $9135 That $34 million is the cost of socialism and that cost more than anything else

corres Your business By VINCENT EGAN Business and oiisuiiiei Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Two years of antirinflation restraints havent done much to break the vicious circle ofselffulfllling inflationary expectations Whether the restraints are kept until the end of 1978 as promised or are lifted sooner they could well be followed by new round of skysthclimit wage demands in anticipation of higher inflation If that happens the restraints program will have been largely waste except perhaps for the many hundreds of government office holders to whom it provides criiployliicrit On the other hand some economists arguing in favor of an end to restraints predict that labor negotiators will settle for contracts that guarantee pay iti creases just couple of percentage points higher than the inflation rate plus the pro ductivityrimprovcrricnt ratc Between 1971 and 1976 Canadian wage and salary rates increased by an averagc of 76 per cent consumer prices by 489 per cent and labor

written again as result of Quebecs language bill EDITORS NOTE Parallels can be drawn between the situation in anada today and in Alsacelatrraine following the Franco Prussian war says Allen Fisher well known Barrie educatioriist and member of the Simclie ounty Board of Education His comments on Quebecs Bill 101 are set out in this article written for The Examiner By ALLEN FISHER As we Canadians produce less and less but expect more and more in our standard of IN ing we absolve ourselves from economic responsibility by viewing the approaching referendum in Quebec with much concern It is quitc apparent that its premier Relic Levesque is stirring up the fires of French nationalism in nation which agreed 110 years ago on becoming one of dual nature The terms written into the British North America Act of 1867 not only arranged for significant Quebec rc rcscntation in the senate of Canada but electoral districts for the House of Commons were parccllcd out according to the population of that province Its premier has furthermore manipiilatlxl the disrxrisation on education crishriiicd in the Act so that education remains the sole prerogative of each rovincc as it was when Quebec was inductctl into the federal govern ment of what we now call anada The precedent for this disrmnsation was established almost century before when the Quebec Act was passed in the British Parlia ment in 1774 after series of livcly even bit ter debates The French church iii Quebec was not iii terested in parliamentary systcni of government for conquered New France but only in its own survival Quite tiaturally all of the Qucbccois at that time hoped that there would be no interference with their language The fact that the French church was granted the right to tithe and the fact that education was then the responsibility of the church insured the implementation of theAct even though English through the fur trade became the language of commerce Latterday critics of the Act especially in Quebec have claimed that the Act was one of expediency Britain was absorbed in dealing with her Thirteen English Colonies in America and acts of sabotage such as the Boston Tea Party were goading the mother country along the path to war But com rehensivc reading of the debates and ensuin le islation induce in the reader of respect or arguments of men such as Sir Guy Carleton Charles James Fox and Edmund Burke Although Burke argued for an elected assembly for Quebec tit had previously been ruled by paternal sovereign council the advice of Sll Guy Carleton to grant the civil rights of language and religion was acted upon instead The British authorities in Quebec had no fear of being assimilated into the larger French pulation even as Carleton with remarka le prescience assured his couri trymen that the French fact would continue on in North America in spite of the ceding of New France Most memorable of all the arguments presented at that time was Burkes statement No free country can keep anothcr country in slavery The price they pay for it will be theirowri servitude FELT NOT REASONEI It is possible that Premier Levesque and his cabinet are aware of these facts but the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune are felt not reasoned And nationalistic fer vor has never been contained by the bonds of reason as anyone knows who has read the speeches of Ilitlcr There is lesson however for the Parti Qucbecois as it implements Bill 101 contain cd in the writing of Alphonse Daudet and evoked from the national consciousness of cont iticrital France first learned of it as high school student when we were required iii our academic studies to read French We were thereby ex pected to appreciate French culture before we had learned to communicate in the language We were graduated as mules who could see but could not hear reading the authors of France as though none existed in Canada Such was the exteril of our col onialisni which continues on to this day an in dubitablc cause for the lamentable two solitudes Alphonse Daudet l1ti40971 was distinguished man of letters in late 191h ccn tury France He lived through the traumatic experience of the Francolrussian War and some of his short stories reflect it One in par ticular was entitled La Deriiicrc Classes It was about school bov living in Alsace Lonainc in 1872 who had dragged himself to school one morning when le temps ctait SI chaud si clair The boy noted that Prussian soldiers were drilling in Rippcrts meadow behind the saw mill and within sight and sound of the school The Prussians were part of an army of 0c cupatiori at the close of the war stationed ili his community to implement the terms of the peace treaty ceding the provinces of Alsace Lorraine to the victorious Germans The defeated French were not only required to surrender the two mvinces of French and German population ut France beaten to her knees had to pay huge indemnity of $1 billion within three years that she might rid herself of the hated Germans and their army of occupation NOT SOSUBTIE In dealing with the mixed societies the Germans were not so subtle as to invoke anything as constitutional as the British North America Act They demanded that all teaching in the ceded provinces should no longer be in French but rather in German As Daudet poignantly stated in the words ad dressed to the last class by the schoolmaster Hamel Mes enfants cest la derniere fois que je vous laIS 1a classe Lomre est venu de Berlin de ne plus enseigner que lAlle mand dans les ecoles de lAlsace et de la Lorraine Le nouveau matire arrive demain Aujourdliui cest votre demiere lecon de francais In spite of the best laid plans of mice and Prussians the course of history is devious and channelled by banks that curb the ambi tions of men When we visited Metz in the European summer of 1965 we encountered an attractive innkeeper on the elevator who en couraged my faltering French with smiles and sympathy Voltaire would have learned that even big Prussian battalions can be over come by courtesy and womans smile Indeed German and French are both spoken in Alsace today even though the pro Vince has beer political football throughout the centuries of imperial France And the sad chapters of chauvinistic nationalism continue to be written as though mistakes of the past could only be recognized by re rating them In observing the effects aSsertive na tionrilisrii in Quebec as it expresses itself in Bill 101 or rather the charter for the French language in North America as so many like to regard iti one wonders to what extent it in trudes on the rights both civil and educa tional of significant number of its popula tion Was it civilized ta pct word of Premier Levesqucsl on the part of Berlin and its Prussian soldiers to twist on the teaching of German only in the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine when they were of mixed popula tion Is it any more civilized to take the Machiavellian approach in using constitu tional lever to uproot sc ment of Quebec society by denying it rectum of choice in txlucation even as the state compels the pay ment of taxes or locational purposes IIOW ONE ANSWER How can one answer such questions without reflecting seriously on the words of Madame Rolland At first she was an ardent revolu tionist and later victim of the French Revolution and the guillotine on November the eighth 1793 She had drunk the wine of Libertc to the lees But as she noticed the statue of Liberty from the scaffold on which she was soon beheaded she uttered her last words Liberte ue de crimes on comrnct en ton nom Li rty what crimes are committed in thy name Daudet was French litterateur of great stature His story of the last class is poignant sad as sad as the ex ulsion of the Ace tllans in 1755 from their omeland But two wrongs do not make right and there is possibility that someday another Daudet will write about the country of Canada how it was founded by two European nations neither of which remained truly European in culture or language And he will tell poignant sto mas sad story as La Derniere ClassrL how these two societies became locked in legislative combat seeking to control the minds of their children nonInsertion at any advertisement beyond the am ourit paid for such advertisement Queens park Will NDP go radical By DON OHEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO The upset Manitoba election will have some impact here The Tory government of Ontario will be able to take some comfort in the fact that Conservative provincial governments now dominate in Canada If we want to include British Columbia there are now five of them But at the same time it will have to live with the uneasiness that the strong trend of the electorate in the country is still to over turn governments DP SHIFT The Liberals can take bit of assurance that Manitobas Tory Premierelect Stirling Lyons main appeal apparently was to economy and cutting down on government spending This of course has been the main Liberal thrust and apparently the poo le Manitoba bought it as good many di here But by far the biggest influence of the elec tion should be on the New Democratic Party Not only will it coming on top of the NDP loss in British Columbia probably take some heart from the party but it could cause definite shift of thinking in the Ontario NDP It is logical to expect resurgence in the radical wirzig Defeate Manitoba Premier Edward Schreyer was noted moderate He was outstanding in the NDP in Canada for his reserved approaches and moderate stands Personally he came across as man of reason rather than an extremist Now he has been beaten And this certainly should aggravate the strong difference of inion in the Ontario NDP between erate leader and knuckle fighter RADICAL Whether this will have direct influence on the partys leadership contest really cant be said at this point This is principally because it doesn have real radical in the field as of now Both of the declared candidates Ian Deans and Michael Cassidy have their extremist sides But neither has been identified with either the extreme left or extreme demagoguery Either or both might try to change in view of the Manitoba result Then there is Mike Breaugh of Oshawa At time of writing he hasnt declared him self and he really isnt associated with any particular wing But if he does go and it is felt that chances are strong that he will then he might try to move into radical slot Canada story Governor opposed By BOB BOWMAN Although Montreal wasnt founded of ficially until May 18 1642 its founder Paul de Chomedey Sieur de Maisonneuve paid visit to the site on Oct 14 1641 He had arrived at Quebec few weeks previously with three ships of colonists and supplies having been engaged by the Compagniede Notre Dame de Montreal to establish the colony of Ville Marie at the former Indian vange of Hochelaga Gov Montmagny of Quebec was strongly opposed There were only about 200 Europeans in Canada then including men and women in religious orders The site chosen for Ville Marie was an important crossroads of the fierce Iroquois Indians on their hunting trips Montmagny urged Maisonneuve to establish his colony instead on the Island of Orleans just below Quebec Maisonneuve replied Sir what you tell me would be excellent if had been sent to look about and select place but it has been decided by my company that should go to Hochelaga My honor obliges me to go there and found colony were every tree on the island changed into an Iroquois It was too late in the season to build the necessary habitations but MiIISOIIlItIIH took few members of his party up the river lit small ship to claim the site for France is their he did on Oct 14 1641 Montmagny wont on them It was
