Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1963---PAGE 6 New Divorce Bill Does Only Half Needed Job The Commons rushed through a private member's bill designed to end the parliamentary blockade of divorce bills with a speed that indi- cated the members can, on occasion, act with despatch on something other than pay raises for them- selves: The bill promptly went to the Senate, but there some of the members gave it a rather prickly reception. The dear old Senators do not have much to do, and they seem to set great store by their function of acting as a divorce mill for Que- bec and Newfoundland, only prov- inces without divorce courts; also they are sensitive about their tra- ditions. and rights, and a few of them thought that the bill threaten. ed some of the Senate's traditional powers. Anyhow, it went immediat- ely to the Senate banking commit- tee -- of all places -- for study. Apart from its effect, if any, on senatorial powers, it is a bad bill because it does only half the job. It removes the divorce bills from the Commons, which is as it should be; Real Threat The "two-nation" theory of Con- federation sparked a lively debate at the Couchiching Conference be- tween Prof. Charles Taylor of Mc- Gill and Dr. Frank Underhill, edu- eator, historian and intellectual gad. Prof. two-nation stride towards nationa thinks the phrase is misunderstood; in his view, it does not mean two states in the usual political sense, but acceptance of the principle of two linguistic communities which should be allowed to develop their respective cultures in their way without let or hindrance Dr. Underhill argument. He saw the theory as a very real threat to national unity historically unsound* and poli cally deplorable. Dr. Underhill, it seems to u taking the view, Prof. Taylor was ignoring develop- ments with which he should have been fully conversant his residence in Montreal Taylor believes that concept takes a unity, pooh-poohed realistic because of Canada's Trade er changes in international trading One of the most striking features of the modern world is that among advanced nations, the industrially very large tariff-free market areas have become universal basis for industrial and development, Trade Committee of the Private Planning Association of Canada notes in a statement on Canadian trade ~e- leased this week. The United States, fomestic market, has long enjoyed such a basis for its industry. Japan, vith its large population, also pos- gesses a large domestic "tariff- free" market for its industrial de- yelopment. Now, through the Com- mon Market and the Free Tra Association, all of the industriall- advanced Western Europe are in the process of lishing large, tariff-free bloc 1 kets.

This new bill, then, is strictly a second-best solution.

These ideas go far beyond the fisca principle of two linguistic commu- nities. Future relations, Canadian industry may be facing a future in which it would be virtually alone in being denied the advantages of ready access to large markets, the Committee be- lieves. Eor this reason, the hope for Canada the forth- coming GATT negotiations will be must be that far-reaching and successful The Committee argues that "It is not possible for Canada to 'opt out' of any forthcoming round of trade negotiations. Our only choice is whether we play an active or a passive role . . . Our interests can best be served if we are prepared to participate actively in the nego- tiations. To do otherwise would re duce our influence in world affairs, and ail other nations including our maior trading partners, to pro ceed to make new arrangements to suit their particular interests with little or not attention to our in- terests."

That is he believes in funds in which a reserve is built up. Contributions are pooled, and they and their earn- ings build up over the years. By the time an _ individual has reached retirement his ac- cumulation -- averaged out, of course, over everybody in the plan -- should be sufficient to pay his pension for the rest of his natural years, The federal government's ap. proach is different It might be called and \low It believes the high that only enough should be paid in each year to cover the payments that will have to be paid out of the fund, It is not quite so simple as this, but its pr is not to build up a la 'ed out of which payments nciple accumul reserve would be made from capital PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM many centuries have will h toes," says an That will Before passed, man will be fortunate then that corns grow on have less . anatomy DeGaulle. sdys the Profumo scandal "merely indicates Brit- decadenc Some might agree' that iving in nce should make. a person expert at recognizing decadence ain's Woman charged with much in. court is missed,' - Headline.

The merits of these two ap- proaches will be argued at length, and probably with con- siderable confusion, in the months ahead. It will be said that the fed- eral plan is dangerous. And that it will impose much greater burdens in the years ahead. But there is one strong argu- ment opponents to it will have to meet Not having to build a fund it can promise much higher bene- fits at much lower premiums. Large sections of business are against it, and probably will remain so. But the public preference should favor it. For when you offer the public six peaches for a dollar or a basket for 50 cents which is it going to buy? Premier Lesage probably will be on better ground than Mr, Robarts, Ontario's, premier believes pension plans should be handled by private companies, which means they control the invest ment of the funds. Mr, Lesage favors the funded principle. But he believes the fund should be public. He believes it should be in- vested by government in the areas of the economy it feels best. And this likely will be more palatable to Mr. Ordinaty Man. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING When the Ameri make fun of us "goy- ernment by inquiry."

Judy La- Marsh, is going to. have to figure in many heated debates, and find its way over a lot of hurdles, 'both provincially and federally, before the time is reached for deciding as to its adoption, It follows, therefore, that there is no need to leap hastily into discussion of all its implications Right away, though, one of its features has to be described Diefenbaker Wins Back Some Of His Support By the CAN, INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Leader of the Opposition, John winning back had Diefenbaker, is some of the approval he : Today than four. in ten Canadians say rove the way he job while 27 cent disapprove Mr. Diefenbaker's . popularity as a leads lined stead since the sak j when 64 per I people approved his leadership In October, 1962, this approval five ears ago more his Approve 12% i5 i) 4g In t ar here is a oser ratio between ap Mr much yroval and d Sapproyal for Taste the difference... went as low as 37 per cent. To- day it'is 42 per cent, One disclosure to come out of the trend question is the high approval rating for Mr, Diefea- baker in. Quebec--45 per cent-- considerably higher than. any other part of the country. More people in Quebec approve of the way Mr. Diefenbaker is handling his job than approve of the way Mr. Pearson is handling his job as Prime Minister, Here is the question: "Do you approve, or - dis- approve, of the way Mr. John Diefenbaker is handling his job as leader of the opposition?" Disapprove 990 << Undecided Diefenbaker's work. Approva however, is slightly higher than the critical attitude as a puzzler. Apparently, at the time of becoming fully opera- tive, the Canadian plan is sup- posed to pay a much higher pension, comparing classifica. tion with classification, than is provided under the plan in force in the U.S. -- more than half as much again, Yet it is esti- mated Canadian contributions are to be two per cent of the average annual earnings of the person covered, as compared with contributions of six per cent (and due to go higher) in the U.S This miracle of levying one- third of the U.S. figure (or less) and providing a much higher return, is proposed in a coun- try in which average earnings are figured to be some 30 per cent lower than in the U.S. Just how it is hoped to ac- complish this miracle requires a convincing explanation. Welland tribune: Taking heed of the views of the prov- ince, the federal government has agreed to amend the provi- sions of its $400 million loan and development fund in the important considerations of ad- ministration, and range of pro- jects to which the fund can be applied, Thus, Prime Minister Pear- son has seemingly removed most of the features of the fund found objectionable in its origin- al form and deserves much credit for so quickly and so willingly adjusting the program. In order to have the plan aghieve maximum impact on tHe canker it is directed against ----- unemployment, municipali- ties should lose no time in launching studies to determine where the fund can be usefully employed. The fund is to be available for trunk sewers, water-trea:ment plants and mains, transit facili- ties and main streets. In the widened range of projects such categories as schools, hopitals and recreational facilities are included. Now that provincial represen- tations have secured this wider application, the municipalities have a duty to see what snare they can bear in order to prop I implement the program, i, of course, to determine re they can benefit from its \ ons, Providing that certain condi- tions are met, 25 per cent of the loans will be in the form of out- right grants, Communities with sewerage programs blue-print- ed and increased school con- struction and recreational fa- cilities in mind should be alert to the possibilities. Committee chairmen of coun- cils, education officials and per- manent officials should be on the qui vive, not waiting for delayed directives, but working through their members of par- liament now in order to take quick advantage of the possi- bilities CRYSTAL GIN the secret of a smoother dry martini Flayour-distilling from imported botanicals gives the perfect balance to CRYSTAL GIN, Full gin flavour for long, cool collins and tonics... dryer, smoother for better martinis, Try Hiram Walker's Crystal Gin.
