THAT SMITE contentions of his predecessor, Wal- ter Gordon. With the majority of Liberals, there is little doubt. left that the Gordon program to limit foreign investment in Canadian de- velopment is not supported. While a compromise resolution was passed, the rejection of the Gordon philoso- phy, boosted Mr. Sharp to the posi- tion of front runner for the future leadership of the party. The influences of youth and of the West were also evident in the debates and deliberations of the con- vention. The latter is a healthy sign of the return to a national base of the party. The former is also im- portant as long as the young Liber- als temper their enthusiasm and impatience for change with respon- sibility. For Liberals the convention pro- vided a healthy forum to bring their policies and principles into focus. For the country as a whole it show- ed a party basically interested in mending its ways and intent on re- turning stability to Canadian af- fairs. Big Way tend to all of Ontario grant benefits which have hitherto only applied to Northern Ontario and 11 counties in' Eastern Ontario. Provincial and federal] govern- ments will each put up $400,000 for the first year of the drainage pro- gram, and $600,000 each year there- after. The local share will be the same. The effect is to increase the grant to municipalities from 33.33 per cent to 66.66 per cent of the cost of engineering and construction of outlet ditches built under the On- tario drainage act. Agricultural department. officials stress that the program is not de- signed to speed the drainage of swamp, and muck lands that. have limited crop potential. It is to be restricted to land of "high agricul- tural capability as defined by the Ontario Soil Survey." The Soil Survey and recent stu- dies of agricultural land capability 'indicate inadequate drainage is an important limiting factor in crop production in Ontario," according to the ARDA directorate. If "suitable outlets were avail- able", farmers could correct 'their drainage problems and grow more diversified crops to improve farm income. ARDA financial assistance was requested to reduce the share of municipalities in construction of agricultural outlet drainage ditches built under the Ontario Act.

Letters now pouring into MPs' offices show how terrible that squeeze is. BrifSin combatted inflation by. a' freeze on prices' and wages; the 'United States at least had Old age S ially will know what I' mean by this. Much was left undone which ought to have been done before Parliament adjourned for its 82 day summer holiday, after working for only 117 days in the first seven months: of this year. Su much, in fact, MPs had to be recalled for an emergency session of nine days starting Aug. -29,,to preclude a railway strike -- which could havc heen dane weeks earlier-- and to debate the threat of in- flation--of which Finance Min- ister Mitchell Sharp had given clear warning in his budget speech five months earlier. On Sept. 9 the House dele- gated to a special committee of senators and MPs the responsi- bility to "enquire into and re- port upon the trends in the cost of living, and factors which may have contributed to changes in the. cost of living in Canada in recent months." A long 19 days later, that com- mittee unhurriedly met to dis- cuss that urgent problem, with an attendance of only seven out of 12 senators, and seven out of 24 MPs. HELP NEEDY On July 14, Health Minister Allan MacBachen announced that the government would in- troduce a measure to ensure all old age pensioners a mini- mum income of $105 a month. For many old folk, that extra $30 a month was an urgent ne- cessity, made even more ur- gent by the recent sharp rise in food prices. Yet, only hours after that an- nouncement, Parliament ad- journed without taking any ac- tion, Surely our MPs could have postponed their holiday briefly, so that the proposal could have been implemented? Could our $18,000-a-year MPs enjoy their presidential guidelines laid "down as moral suasion-on busi- ness and labor. Yet the Cana- dian government was content to refer the grave problem to a committee which 'hopes' to make an "interim' report ""be- fore Christmas." BOUST PRICES One of the early witneaed before the inflation committee, the deputy minister of finance, presented a series oi 'ables which cieariy pumicd io one major cause of our higher prices--namely, the sky-rocket- ing level of taxation. In 1949, the federal, provincial and mu- nicipal governments together collected $4,284,000,000 from us in taxes. That figure now has soared to an annual rate of $19,704,000,000, or approxi- mately 460 per cent of the 1949 rate. Another witness, economics professor E. P. Neufeld, as- serted that price-wage zuide- lines should have been formu- lated in Canada, being the best method of curbing inflationary pressures, which he said had been fuelled by "incredible"' wage. increases. Economists, bank presidents and politicians alike have all urged such action upon the gov- ernment, without success, But the Liberal government's with-it slogan of "'Sixty Days of Deci- sion" has b e "Six ths Teast porarily.. And Agriculture Min-: ister Bill Stewart fs a clear-cut "olen ha arena to accept wa has a responsibility for all milk sup-: argued for all along.

As Professor Neufeld stated, again repeating earlier warn- ings, uncurbed inflation will lead not only to higher prices, but consequently to a painful cut in our exports, to higher imports,.and hence to unem- ployment and even to devalua- tion of the Canadian dollar. We may well see "a 67-cent dollar in °67 as a centennial me- morial! 4 Gromyko Strikes Balance In Guarded Friendship By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press Staff Writer When Andrei Gromyko . went to the White House in Washing- ton ' Monday to see President Johnson he arrived and de- parted through the back door. It was not a snub. Rather it was a U.S. concession to the veteran~ Russian foreign minis- ter's desire to play the game of diplomacy, at which he is an acknowledged grand master, in his own quiet, inconspicuous way. For more than 30 years Gro- myko and guided his size 12 shoes along the tightrope of in- ternational politics with never a serious misstep, while many of his Kremlin superiors have tumbled to oblivion. He never has lived up to his nickname Grom--which in Rus- sian means thunder--and in fact observers tend to. credit much of his success to the fact he. invariably has precious little to say, particularly in public. In the United Nations he be- came famous for one word--no --having cast 25 of Russia's- first 26 vetoes there. The scene played Monday, in the home of the man the Com- munist world considers the vil- lain of Viet Nam, was 9bvi- ously stage-managed by Gro- myko. And he hit exactly the ' Sadeeerenstsnerne NATIONAL PARTY RECRUITS TNS desired balance of guarded friendship for the U.S. without lending support to China's charges of American - Russian colluston over Viet Nam. Aside from the escape route to avoid reporters, there also was no disclosure of even the topics discussed. Photograph. ers were admitted only briefly and all was dead serious, with none of the traditional overt camaraderie for their benefit. Gromyko, who was only 34 when he was appointed ambas- sador to Washington, was on familiar ground and a ently was pleased with the outcome. After a subsequent meet- ing with State Secretary Dean Rusk, the Soviet minister per- mitted himself to be cornered by reporters and broke. the seal of secrecy by telling them it appeared Russia and the U.S. are "striving to reach agree- ment" on a treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear 'weapons. For a man of Gromyko's background, this was a wildly optimistic statement. In fact U.S. spokesmen later sought to dampen somewhat the enthusiasm of observers who suggested the meeting had pro- vided fresh evidence that a new era of friendly relations be- tween the U.S. and Soviet Un- ion. NNT} sisn aA moyen nite TT) BALLOT, NOT CLAYMORE 'Scots Called To Campaign For Freedom , By HUGH DAVIDSON Canadian Press Correspondent GLASGOW (CP)--Scots are being rallied with renewed urgency to striké a blow for freedom from Sassenach dom- ination: The Scottish Nationa! party, which has made little head- *way against the main British parties since it was founded in 1928, has launched a major recruiting campaign to strengthen its demands for political independence from England. : Tae methods have changed since William Wallace gath- ered the clans against the English at Stirling Bridge in 1297 and Robert the Bruce es- tablished three centuries of independence at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. The modern nationalists hope to pipe in retruits with a series of spot advertise- ments broadcast 'by a pirate radio, Warriors need not stir from the glens--just apply by + mail to Glasgow for a party card, The weapon will be the ballot instead of the claymore. The party purchased 50 seven - second promotional 'spots between Oct. 10 and Nov, 4.0n Radio Scotland, a , Station based on a former lightship in the Firth of Clyde, one of 10 such operations violating state control of broadcasting around British coasts. Party Secretary Gordon _ Wilson announced the promo- tional campaign the day the British government began its promised crackdown on the pirates with court action against one of the English stations. But the nationalists expect to complete their pro- motion before government ac- tion overtakes Radio Scotland. The party has been driven to the radio pirates, Wilson says, by the fact that the Lon- don Sassenachs who allocate time for party political broad- casts on the BBC have lim- ited the nationalists to a "de- risory" five minutes a year each on radio and television. The allocation was based on the 64,000 votes the party polled in the 1964 general elec- tion. It has been maintained although the nationalists dou- bled their vote in the election last March 31, Wilsom says. The current membership drive, in which the party is opening new branches from the River Tweed to John o'Groats, has been encouraged by the electoral breakthrough of fellow Celtic nationalists in a byelection in Wales July 14 The Welsh Nationalists won their first seat in Parliament. when Gwynfor Evans, presi- dent of Plaid Cymru, unseated Labor in Carmarthen. Celtic - nationalists. in--Seot- land, Wales, Brittany and Ire- land make common cause in the Celtic League, which peti- tioned the United Nations last year on behalf of home-rule yearnings by Scots, Welsh- men and Bretons. Dr. Robert McIntyre, presi- dent of the Scottish national- ists and a vice-president of the Celtic League, is the only member of his party ever elected to Parliament--and he stayed only briefly, He. won a 1945 byelectton in Motherwell, Lanarkshire, but lost the gen- eral election three months later. Last March, the party con- tested 22 of Scotland's 71 con- stituencies and no nationalist came close to winning. Best showing was in West Lothian, where W. C. Wolfe placed second to Labor--ahead of a Conservative and a Commu- nist--with 17,955 votes to the winner's 26,662, Dr. McIntyre was second strongest national- ist with 9,381 votes out of a total of 36,000 in Stirling West. The total 'nationalist poll of 128,474 votes out of more than 3,000,000 in Scotland makes a small dent in major-party power. But the party looks at its efforts more _ positively, emphasizing ue the total is _ Scots, twice the 1964 figure and renp- resents 15 per cent of«the votes cast in the 22 constitu- encies contested. CLAIMS 26,000 MEMBERS Further, the party claims a card-carrying membership of more than 26,000--bigger than the Liberal party, which holds five Scottish seats, "Our target is 50,000 by next year," says Glasgow party agent Alasdair Macdon- ald. "We will exceed the La- bor party's paid-up member- ship of 30,000.' Labor, which has additional support through trade union affiliation, ,holds 43 Scottish seats to 23 for the Conservatives. "The 50,000 will give us the breakthrough needed for the people to say the Scottish na- tionalists can do it,"" Macdon- ald says. Doing it means. winning elections and, ultimately, re- versing the Act of Union of 1707, reviving the Scottish Parliament and restoring the spirit of the Treaty of York of 1327; which proclaimed: "Scotland, according to iis ancient bounds . . should remain to Robert, King of and his heirs free and divided from England, without any subjection, servitude, claim or demand whatso- ever," Sir John A. On Stage Politicians are something like boxers. They do fancy footwork sometimes to escape trouble, and they fake with one hand but punch with the other. Sir John A. Macdonald was among the best. Perhaps he learned some tricks when he was a young man arfd worked in a travelling road show. His part- ner, Fred Rose, acted as a dancing bear while Macdonald provided musical accompani- ment, Years later, when the C.P.R. was formed, Rose was made one. of the directors. During his career Macdonald changed his mind several times about important decisions. In 1865 he said that the West was of no value to Canada. Four years later heybought it from the Hudson's Bay Company in a hurry. In 1864 he voted against Confederation, but soon became its strongest supporter. John A. Macdonald became a member of Parliament by sup- porting a policy with which he disagreed. In 1844 the most im- portant issue was responsible government. Governor Metcalfe was opposed to the movement, so Baldwin and Lafontaine re- signed from the government. Metcalfe accused them and other supporters of. responsible igovernment of being disloyal to Britain. It was difficult to form a government without them, so Metcalfe called a general elec- tion on October 14, 1844. The campaign lasted about three weeks and Metcalfe took an active part. He won by a small majority and one of the new members elected as his supporter was John A, Macdon- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Oct, 14, 1966 .

Russians Review Critically Criminal Release System By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) .-- Soviet law enforcement authorities are tak- ing a critical look at regulations that permit the release of cri- minals before their sentences have expired. There have been a number of suggestions that, in the conti- nuing..crackdown on crime, the practice of allowing convicts time off for good behavior will be severely curtailed or aban- doned. A possible indication of the direction of official thinking is given by Nikolai Zhogin, deputy general prosecutor of the U.S.S.R. "Sometimes a criminal is freed before schedule without any reason for it," he said in answer to a question. 'Let a man serve the whole term -- that's my opinion." Similarly, a candidate of ju- ridical. science writes in the government newspaper Izves- tia: 'dnevitability ~of punish- ment is one of the main, im- portant principles in the strug- gle against criminals." However there had been "not a few deviations' from the principle of inevitability, ex- pressed among other things in "hasty liberation from prison." SUGGESTS -OVERHAUL The juridical scientist, P. Pashkevich, did not directly call for halting prior release of cri- minals, but the tone of his ar- ticle suggested that present POINTED PARAGRAPHS It does seem some enterpris- ing manufacturer of corn plas- ters would make a model large enough to meet the needs of these who attend double-feature movie programs. It may be that certain scien- tists and technicians who are trying to find intelligent beings on other planets have given up hope of finding them on eartb. As there is growing hunger in India and also an exploding population of elephants, it is assumed that, unfortunately, elephant. flesh isn't fit for human consumption, Do you \know the plural of rhinoceros? -- from a quiz column. No. We don't even know what is the plural of "the foot of the bed", methods badly need overhaul- i ng. The fact that such an article appeared in the government newspaper indicates at least a degree of official approval of this view. It is expected that amend- ments and additions to the cri- minal code will be introduced. Under current regulatfons, a criminal may be conditionally released after he has served two-thirds his time in the case of a serious crime, or after serving half his time in the case of a less serious crime. If he commits another crime during the unservyed portion of his sentence, the forgiven pe- ried is added to the second sentence. The practice is roughly equivalent to the parole system in Canada. There is also a system of provisional sentences, compar- able to suspended sentences in Canada, whereby a court may let a convicted criminal go free rather than sending him to prison. CONSIDERS ATTITUDE Such a decisiom is taken in the light of the defendant's over- all attitude and personaliW®, and what the court may consider his future promise as a law-abid- ing citizen, If he doesn't get into twoubie during the period of his sentence, he is considered to have served it. it's expected that the new law will make it more difficult to obtain a conditional sentence. Soviet authorities have shown steadily mounting concern over the growth of crime and "ho- oliganism." In July, the government pu- » blished a decree giving the po- lice new, broad powers to deal with the problem in a summary manner. The decree also sought to en- list the gengral public in the struggle against crime by ab- solving citizens of responsibility for bodily harm they may cause to a suspected criminal while trying to prevent a crime from taking place.

POLITICAL ROUND olitically, Mr. Stewart will a winner. He will get credit, th h his subsidy offer, for having engineered the price breakthrough. And as a sealer, the subsidy cheques will be from the Prov- ince of Ontario. In the, spring, there will likely be further demands from pro- ducers for higher prices for manufactured milk and this time Mr. Greene may have to face them alone. Milk producers who are rep- resented by the Ontario Farm- ers Union have indicated they will be looking for $5 a hun- dredweight for milk, instead of the $4.33 they now will be re- ceiving. HAS TWO CHOICES And the federal minister at that time may well have the un- palatable choice between still higher subsidy payments by the federal government or permit- ting an increase in the price of butter. He also will have to make a decision whether to require Quebec to set floor prices. in line with Ontario prices--which is what we want--or allow that province to under-sell. Provincial authorities -- will have the power to set the pricé processors pay for milk. But federal authorities -- through a Canadian Dairy Commission - which has yet to be established --can exercise control through making subsidy payments sub- ject to floor prices. This will be another tough political decision for Mr, Greene. YEARS AGO 20 YEARS AGO -- October 14, 1946 Local Boy' Scouts and bine Cubs took in a@ pproxima' $950.00 gross at their peered Apple Day.
