power had shrunk as had her empire At home the country some times seemed to be run by brusque bureaucrats Now the question went why shouldnt Elizabeth lead Brit first Elizabethan age It seemed almost

now in the process of being raised to $65 Opposition leaders supported the $10 increase though they termed it inadequate Paul Martin the former Lib oral health minister charged that the proposed $10

they say would provide $75 pension in the first year without increas ing taxes Said Mr Martin splendor and plain humanity than has the second Elizabeth The Crown it says can no longer provide bond of un ion between the kingdoms and republics of the Common wealth the Queen can In her they have seen courage devo tion to her high duty radiant happiness in worthily fulfilling it By such qualities hearts are won But there is growing public criticism of some aspects of Britains ancient royal system Some observers noting the changing social habits of Erit ons growing ever more prosper ous say there must be some radical change in the Queens own public expression of her historic role She has been criticized for being unduly conventional and too much withdrawn from the life of her subiccts says The 531013 Pensioners Are Wooed With Politicians Ardor More than any other schmo this one will have the effect of discouraging what complained about last Tuesday namely the obvious interest of certain polit ical parties In competing with lone another in this field and particularly the temptation of this particular government to display its great interest in the social welfare of our pcepla on the eve of general election ESTIMATE COST Mr Montcith said the lcrease will cost about $11340 000 year Total pension pay ments in 196263 would amount to $7370000oo He also stated that the government will con tinue to pay half the cost of any vprovincial payments to elderly rcitizcns beyond the basic pcn sion Mr Montcith noted that tho government was seeking con sent of the provinces to con stitutional amendment covering payments to widows dependent children and disabled persons under its proposed contributory scheme Pickefsgill Eona vistaNillingatet said the gov ernments move to get almost tutionul amendment was cheap smokescreen to cover up the fact there was to be no contributory pension legislation at this session of parliament Mr Pickersgillin speech that was constantly interrupted by jecrs and cntcalls from the government side of the House accused Prime Minister Diefcn baker ofbrenking castiron promiseto institute contrib utory plan in this Parliament Elizabeths Second Decade On Throne Is Beginning Guardian And the criticism has substance In her public role the Queen has cast herself as carefully conventional an of no known opinions in her private life she pursues the traditional interests of wealthy country landowner Is this good enough for the long reign that seems Ilker to stretch before her The candid answer must be no The Guardian says that much more significant than the Queens remaining political rights is her power to influence social attitudes The Queen has neglected this aspect of 20th century monar chy at time when qual ities of innovation originality and daring are needed to regal vanize our society the Royal Family ought to thinkof them selves as pacesetters
