Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 28 1966 ~ PAGE 4 Statesmanlike Course Recommended For UN The United Nations Commission to study the organization of peace made three important recommen- dations recently which could, if im- plemented, have a decisive bearing on the future of the world organiza- tion. It recommended that the UN take over ownership of the high seas and outer space and use them as independent sources of income; that Secretary-General Thant re- eruit and pay his own permanent troubleshooting force of 2,000 sol- diers; that working committees be weighed in favor of the countries with the greatest power, interest or responsibility. The recommendations may sound highly imaginative and overly-opti- mistic, but as The Guelph Mercury says, they must some day be carried out if the UN is ever to become the kind of world government many thoughtful people feel it must be- come if it is to survive and serve the world of tomorrow in the best in- terests ofall nations, Control of the high seas beyond the 12-mile limit for fishing and the continental shelf for minerals to protect the world against the use of these waters in away that could endan- ger world peace -- and control of outer space for the same reason --~ would give to the UN the author- ity and prestige it needa to support its position as a peace-keeping organization The commission forth a number of additional reasons why control of the high seas and outer space by the UN would benefit the world, It would avoid conflicts over They Strike Speaking in Montreal the other day, U.S. Defence Secretary Me Namara told the American Society of Newspaper Editors that "breach- ing the isolation of great nations like China, even when that isola- tion is largely of its own making, reduces the danger of potentially catastrophic misunderstandings and increases the incentive on hoth sides to resolve disputes by reason rather than force."

It consisted of MPs from nearby constituencies in Ontario and Quebec, who could easily slip home for jong week-ends, using their free rail passes, Bul today every MP has grown wings like geese, thanks to distribution of air passes. This airline trans- portation has extended the T-to-T club from a 300-mile rail trip to a 2,000-mile flight of about the same duration The weekly air pass is a bad thing for Parliament, ag well as being a tax-free fringe benefit for MPs which costs the tax payer plenty. Our MPs have never hefore heen. paid s0 much; and never hefore has there been so much absentee- ism The daily question period sees the day's highest attendance of MPs in the Chamber, Nearly emery MP who is on Parliament Hill attends in the Chamber during that most interesting hour in each day Yet on Wednesday May ii, for instance, question period saw only 68 out of 13) Liberal MPs present, and 82 out of 133 Opposition MPs MIGRATION BEGUN Two days later House met at 11 a.m., the week- end migration had started, On the Liberal benches were 21 out of 25 cabinet ministers and only 34 back-henchers; of the Con 7 out of 15 ex-min- isters were present and a mere 24 others When the questions end and the House "gets down to" its real work, the MPs scramble out of the Chamber, so a fair average attendance for the rest of the day is hetween 20 MIs, which is the essential » Hea et and 50 Liberal Pat ¢ man of the mittee when the ameron, chair birth control com which is officially 44 Haines + 35 and legal affairs--and Conseryv- ative Alf Hales, chairman of the important public accounts committee, both recently asked for a reduction from 13 to 10 in the quorum of their 24-mem- ber committees. Behind that request is a story. Alf Hales summoned an impor- tant meeting of his committee, which has a backlog from last year as well as the current year's work load of checking the expenditure of the taxpay- ers' billions MUST WAIT The auditor - general was asked to give evidence before the committee: he was accom- panied by 10 members of his staff. all highly paid civil sery- ants. But the necessary quorum of MPs did not show up, and could not be rounded up. After 50 minutes of idle waiting, the auditor - general and his staff were asked to denart. A few days later exactly the same thing happened On the first occasion, only. 4 of 12 UAberals and 4 of 9 Con- servatives were present; on the second occasion, only 2 Liberals but 6 Conservatives were pres- ent Athabasca's Jack Bigg was the only Tory absent both times, but he was attending to centen- nial matters in his constituency Where were the eight Liberals who were absent hoth times? Rene Tremblay was in hospital but why was no substitute ap- pointed? Where were the others at 9.30 a.m. April 21? The usual excuse is- that they were attending other committees; but the only other meeting at that time was the external affairs committee, attended by only 18 MPs, Fx- cluding the Cabinet, the Speaker and party leaders, that leaves 214 MPs who might have mus- tered the quorum on the publie accounts committee, Yet only 11 MP's showed up The absenteeism among our $18,000-a-vear MPs become scandalous, They ean get away with it because there is no daily roll call, as in the Senate, Com: mittee chairman Alf Hales aptly commented There are some hovs around here who need a real good shake-up," has Pasternak Published, 'Rehabilitation' Complete Ry JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP)--A_ book of poems by the late Roris Pas ternak has heen published here Included are most of the poems Pasternak attached to his fa mous novel Zhivago, hanned in the Soviet Union Publication of the 300-page, pocket-size volume complete the official rehabilitation of Pasternak as a poet.

Me CANADA'S STORY Scandal Brought Vote By BOR BOWMAN What might be called Canada's first elections resulted from a political scandal in Quebec, The Company of 100 Associates established by Cardinal Riche lieu to look after the develop ment of Canada, had been func tioning badly, On May 25, 1660, King Louis XIV appointed Per onne Dumesnil to go 16 Quebec to investigate its affairs. There is little doubt that he uncovered evidence of crooked dealings, because a number of efforts were made to scare him away His son was attacked on a street and died as the result of a beating, Then two men, be lieved to be the ringleaders of the crooks, went to Dumesnil's home, gagged and tied him toa chair, while they went through his files. They carried off the incriminating evidence Dumesnil was not to be scared away, He caused such an uproar in Quebec that some of the mem hers of the governing council had him put in jail before the last ship left for France in the autumn, They hoped that Dum esnil would cool off- during the winter, or the matter would be forgotien, However, Dumesnil managed to escape and got ta France on another ship. He went-te-the king's minister Col bert with his complaints, and the charter of the company was rancelled, In the meantime, Quebec was divided, Saffray de Mezy was the governor, but Bishop Laval was the real power. Laval had appointed certain men to the council to whom de Mezy ob jected, and he wanted to hold an election to replace them When Laval refused, de Mezy placarded Quebec with posters stating his views, urging that the councillors be dismissed, His campaign was successful to the extent that there was a vole, and new councillors were ap pointed tishop Laval won the final round, He knew that King Louis and Colbert would frown on any- thing as democratic as elec: tions and got word to them as quickly as possible, De Mezy was recalled immediately, but died before he could leave Que bec OTHER KVENTS ON MAY 25: 1415--Champlain arrived at Ta- doussac with Recollet priests signed Quebec Acadians denied permis: sion to leave Nova Scotia, They would have joined French in Cape Breton Russians boarded Hud- son's Bay ship "Dryad" at Stikine River, now nor- thern British Columbia 1fif---Senacas peace trealy at 1750.

Economie Council has come up with an interesting report on land use, The council ordered a study of four local areas (two in Northern Ontario, one in the Bruce Peninsula and one in Hastings. County), The areas covered a@ total of 250,000 acres of marginal or andoned land. The study found that 75,000 acres of this could be restored to productivity through forest management contracts, Perhaps the most interesting point in the report is that ab- sentee ownership is probably responsible for a large part of this land remaining idle. It was found that some 68,000 acres of the land was owned outside the community. And about a third of this was held by residents of the United States These owners carry the land at very low cost, Local taxes run as little as eight cents an acre And they ait there SUBSIDIZING IDLENESS Actually the way it turns out the province is subsidizing this idjeness For with the greater share of these areas provincial grants are important in carrying local cosise-they actually amount to more than the money being raised from property tax--and this is exclusive of education grants One of the proposals of the council therefore is that there he changes in the Assessment Act which could he used as a prod to get this inactive land back into some form of produc. tlon It says that for an effective long-term approach to @ war on poverty in rural Ontario this is essential To date, it says, we have mainly concentrated on trying to help individuals to better themselves At Jeast equal emphasis,. it finds, should be placed on the development of the community at large, and of its material re- sources For in the end the welfare of the individual is dependent on the welfare of the community, QUIET OPERATION This report is another worth. while effort of the Economic Council, One regret is that more is not heard and known about this 19 man (one woman) group, Under Chairman W.
