income taxes next year McKeough warned in the legislature McKeough was discussing Prime Minister Trudeaus pro treasurer Darcy posal to end revenue payments which were designed to offset provincial losses because of major overhaul of the federal tax system made in 1971 While his concern was under standable over the federal move even the suggestion of another hike in income taxes couldnt help stir apprehension among heavilyburdened taxpayers The deficit financing by both the federal and provincial govern ments in recent years certainly justifies cutbacks in tax spending at both levels of administration There has been no lack of sugges tions on how this might be achiev those who believe the cut back of bureaucracy wouldnt but ed by ting be handicap More themselves as just one example bureaucratic forms Fewer minis tries amalgamations departments and elimination of simplified procedures could effect substantial savings in Income tax forms could be simplified considerably pro ding

allow executions should legislation abolishing the death penalty be defeated If he did it was probably false impression Here is what he said in what has been described as one of the best speeches he has ever delivered in the Commons At this moment eleven men are being held in Canadian pris ons under sentence of death for the murder of policemen or prison guards Some have ex austed their rights of appeal Others have not Therefore while it is impos sible to prejudge how cabinet will treat any individual case when the time comes to decide whether to invoke the royal pre rogative of mercy and com mute death sentence to life imprisonment it is inevitable that the defeat of this bill would eventually place the hangmans noose around some persons neck SOME WILL HANG To make that quite clear If this bill is defeated some people will certainly hang In his speech Mr Trudeau also made it clear that execu tions are repugnant to him and that he continues to have con fidence in societys ability to protect itself without taking hu man life He did not say his cabinet would permit an execution merely that hangings would eventually take place if the bill is defeated Since he became prime minister in April 1968 Mr In catering business the last meal counts TORONTO CP Dalton McFarlane Waller describes the food business as con tinuous battle As president and director of the Canadian company Dalmar

provinces next March 31 All 10 appear to be agreed on this point The proposed federal action did not represent responsible fed eralism Mr McKeough argued provincial governments not the cooperative

provincial election the timing the action was to Ontario tax spending have been one of the major causes of inflation and another 10 come tax hike would add to pro blem which is constantly getting more difficult to handle Trust of particular blow Increased taxes and per cent provincial in Trudeau and his cabinet ministers have commuted all five death sentences that have come before them for review It is unlikely on the basis of his Commons speech and past record that Mr Trudeau would permit any executions as long as he is prime minister Senators take issue with many things that might oterh wise pass by most of us Con sider for instance Senator Hazen Argue LSaskatchc wan and his recent complaints that the Commons tailor res fused to press his suits and that dignitaries waste gas by leaving their car motors on while attending functions Senator JJ Greene 1L On tario had another one this week Rising on point of privilege he told the Senate that local CTV affiliate CJOHTV inevita bly refers in its weather reports on Newfoundland as the weather on the Rock This may seem trivial said Senator Greene But do not consider it trivial in the slightest To those gentler souls than in this honorable chamber who are not familiar with what the Rock is the Rock used to be the maximum security peniten tiary off San Francisco This cheap allusion and this petty humor are to me an insult to the good people of New foundland In government town such as Ottawa memowriting often reaches something just shy of an art form The Canadian Broadcasting Corp however may have crossed the line into pure art this week when in memo to all staff from Bernard More ncy acting manager human resources department it in formed employees This is to advise that the July holiday will take place on Thursday July 1976 Ii Hill Cough Cough Wheez Now that have you groan all together PARLIAMENT HILL look at Canadas Senate unfortunately with trivia By STEWART MaclEOI Ottawa Bureau Thomson News Service Since many senators seem to be sensitive about the fact that the press gallery generally ig nores their august chamber its only fair that we look in that direction today Unfortunately we are going to become tangled in trivia And it has always baffled me why the Senate if it really wan ts serious coverage allows such latitude for this trivia Much of it such as invitations for par ties or minor parking problems By VINCENT EGAN Business and onsumer Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service One way to get rid of the stigma of the wrong side of the tracks is to get rid of the tracks themselves Thats just what some Tana dian cities havs done or are planningto do Ottawa is the prime example of city that has reclaimed QUEENS PARK Farm community using minority By DON IIEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO Unless youre an agriculture expert the big controversy here over farm income stabilization is pro bably bit baffling to you If so join the group you have lots of company Aside from the fact that farm matters generally tend to be bit remote to most of usirand this includes the me diarvincome stabilization is particularly complex matter with numerous subletics MINORITY TIMING Without trying to straighten this out and pro bably further confusing you let it be said that the fun damental question would seem to be that the farm com munity as largely represent ed by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture OFA is try ing in view of the minority situation here to get bit more than it might ordinarily expect Farm income stabilization is essentially an insurance project Its purpose is to protect farmers from severe losses THE PICK OF PUNCH You know out of all the animal species reckon the human must be about the nearest to us in intelligence could be settled with one phone call One of the more recent exam ples was the complaint by Sena tor Hazen Argue LSaskat chewan about the tailor on Parliament Hill not pressing his suits He raised it as serious complaint back on May 27 It seems the tailor said he was no longer doing work for senators And Senator Argue took serious view of this This is service that has been available to senators for many years as have already YOUR BUSINESS Some Canadian c1t1es getting rid of tracks much of its downtown core from the railways and substi tuted national conference centre and miles of parkland Since the passage of the Rail way Relocation and Crossing Act two years ago this month several cities have received federal funds to help them meet the costs of planning such moves In Kamloops BC for in stance proposal to move the or disaster from the vagaries of the market and produce prices Initial ste on stabilization havebeenta on There is limited federal program covering certain selected products and here we have cowcalf program The government legislation here which was defeated would have extended cover age to all products not covered by the federal pro gram STEP STEP Under normal circum stances this probably would have been satisfactory step The ultimate goal of the farmers is combined fed eral provincial program covering the whole spectrum of agriculture and in which they would have strong voice The government legislation wasnt going this far but it was move forward and in the manner of government was all probably that could be reasonably looked forward to Government operates step by step not in giant leaps But with the minority situa tion government here isnt really in control and so there was an opening for the farm representatives and for the opposition They could see chance of getting their whole deal and opted for thiseand instructed the opposition parties accord ingly Instead of taking bite now they opted for the full swallow Whether they will eventual ly get it cant be said but the chances would seem remote that they will The govern ment hardly can be expected to bow later on which Would be the only way they could BI BEE THOUGHT Wisdom Is the principal thing therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get un derstandin Proverbs 47 We live world that has gone wild about eve thing but wisdom Father give us wisdom will power and desire that we have not yeat as known to please you and win the World to Jesus In His name and for your glory Amen said and do not think we should agree to be elbowed out of this service He asked for an inquiry There was series of puns about it being pressing is sue along with assurances that it would be ironed out and Senator Ray Perrault the government leader in the Sen ate indicated the matter would belooked into An incredible three weeks later Senator Perrault repor ted that we are pressing on with our research but he still hadnt received final report yard facilities of both major railways out of the downtown area is being researched And in Red Deer Alta study has been undertaken aimed at moving the main Ed montonCalgary rail line to the west of the city along with CP Rails yards Regina has received federal financing to prepare plan to move the CP main line that cuts across the centre of the city and to release some 40 downtown acres currently occu pied by rail yards What happens to prime land in the core of city when long establishcd railway operations are moved to the suburbs In Reginas case an answer to that question is being sought through an international design competition In Ottawas case the former railway rightsofway have been turned into public land in way that has won wideSpread approval In Toronto on the other hand plan to regroup and consoli date railway and other trans portation facilities downtown was defeated by socalled re form politicians and political activisits who oppose all devel opment Writing in the Central Mort gage and Housing Corp maga zine Habitat Brian Klatz of the federal Urban Affairs Ministry says It is hoped that public participation in the for mulation of plans for railway relocation project will also bring to light additional social concerns and problems solutions to which may be suc cessfully incorporated into the implementation of an urban development plan following railroad relocation That may sound slightly naive in the light of the Toronto experience where public par ticipation came largely from antidevelopment pressure groups OPPORTUNITIES AFLENTY But when public participation brings commitment to urban improvement rather than de cay then railway relocation presents golden opportunity to cities An obvious benefit is the eli mination of grade crossings with their danger of accidents their traffic tieups and the critical delays they can cause to emergency services such as iretrucks and ambulances The uses to which the freed railway corridors can be put are almost endlessparks as in Ottawa arterial roads or expressways to take traffic away from residential areas housing sports centres light industry maybe new lease on life for what used to be the wrong side of the tracks Side benefits of railway relo cation such as reduciion of air pollution and noise are equally welcome There are limits of course to what can be done In most cases the railways were there first and the urban develop ment and grade crossings came later Its neither equitable nor practical therefore to ex ect the railways to move eir operations out of all the cities they serve Where conditions are right however such move can revitalize the heart of city from the tailor This time four different sena tors became involved in the dis cussion There was still no indication that anyone had phoned the tai lor The issue arose on this second occasion just after Senator Ar gue had directed the attention of the chamber to another worry He had noticed that on the previous evening while the deputy to the GovernorGeneral was in the House for Royal Assent ceremony the chauf feur had kept the car engine running This he declared was waste of energy The senator had been in formed it was standard proce dure to avoid any restarting problems and to main the air conditioning But he thought the matter should be looked in to Senator Jacques Flynn PC Quebec then wanted to know whether the governments new $100 tax on air conditioners had been paid on that particular unit These discussions didnt ex actly fill the public galleries But more was still to come Senator Greene for mer Liberal agriculture minis ter waded in with point of privilege to complain that the weather forecaster on an Ot tawa television station had re ferred to Newfoundland as the Rock And this he said was serious matter AN INSULT He went on at length about how the Rock is the term used to describe penitentiary off San Francisco and how any use of the expression is an in sult to the good people of New foundland He talked about na tional unity how Ottawa should set an example and he added that parliamentarians must jealously guard the sensibilities of all regions of the country it was an el uent presenta tion And he en ed it by saying that unless TV station CJOH apologized to Parliament and the people of Newfoundland he would move vote of censure which would be considered by the Canadian RadioTelevision Commission when the stations licence came for renewal couldnt be ieve the senator was serious The news and weather program he referred to is hosted by Max Keeping na tive Newfoundlander who is perhaps the most popular tele vision personality in Ottawa And ironically Mr Keeping loses no opportunity to praise his native province The program is full of light hearted banter and it is not un common to hear other artici pants refer to Maxs eloved Rock or similar phrases He replies in kind about other re gions Mr Keeping appeared stun ned when he heard there wasa serious complaint My God even Premier Frank Moores had referred to this Rock that is our home its an af fectionate term The senator can rest assured that this program is no threat to national unity Now if we can just get that tailor to start pressing suits again endowed with THE WORLDTODAY US arms sale follows Habitat By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service Less than two weeks after the big Habitat conference on world housing needs the United States has agreed to sell 12 F5 jet fighters to Kenya black African country with no air for ce and very small army of about8000 The Habitat spokesmen especially from the poor coun tries had constantly em phasized that the staggering sums needed to house their people roperly would never be foun while the worlds arms sales continued And now we have yet another major weapons sale by one of the super powers to one of the poor nations in fact the largest American arms sale to date to black African nation namely those 12 RS jet fighters They represent $70million outlay for Kenya country not great earning power but which wisely has de voted much of its national budget over the years to those social health and housing serv ices which are ignored by some of her black neighbors who were buying weapons Its Kenyas warlike neigh bors which at last have forced her to enter the arms race be cause they have been supplied in turn with weapons from the other superpower the Soviet Union SOMALIA THREAT The Islamic state of Somalia currently under much direct Soviet interest and laying claim to perhaps fifth of Kenyan territory has about 200 Soviet tanks President Idi Amin the para noiac

we all sell weapons which threaten con stantly to upset it The world has been filled with conventional wars since the end of the big one in August 1945 The streetbystreet fighting in Beirut of 1976 is much more bloody and ef fective than the same kind of bitter fighting say in Italy during the 1944 campaign up the boot Totally irresponsible nations in this world which did not exist during the Second World War for example Libya rich with oil royalties are major weapons distributors MENACE 0F LIBYA The Libyan formula is to buy far more than that underpopu lated Arab country needs and either

vain INTERPRETING THE NEWS tragic backdrop for Vorsters meeting By GEORGE KITCHEN UNITED NATIONS CP The bloody racial upheavals in South Africa rovide startling and tragic ackdrop for the scheduled talks next week be tween US State Secretary Henry Kissinger and Prime Minister John Vorster Should violence continue to spread the toughminded Vor ster may be forced to seek post ggnement of this first meeting tween high American offi cial and South African leader The two men plan to meet in West Germany next Wednesday and Thursday in further stage of Washingtons new policy of working for an end to white mi nority rule in Rhodesia Kissinger had been expected to press Vorster to use his in fluence to persuade Premier Ian Smith of Rhodesia to back down and accept black majority rule However race riots in his own homeland seriously undermine Vorsters status as potential surrogate for such role Rhodesia is highly dependent economically on South Africa which now provides Rhodesias only rail link with the outside world By the single act of cut ting that link Vorster could so damage the Rhodesian econ omy But this would be dras tic move which Vorster is un likely to consider now Kissinger also is expected to ask Vorster to moderate or re form his own countrys apar theid policies and to grant inde pendence to SouthWest Africa the former colonial territory which the UN has renamed Namibia and has demanded that South Africa give up Vorster for his part is anx ious to end the long political isolation that has been imposed on his homeland by critical Story of Henry Hudson one of most dramatic By BOB BOWMAN The story of Henry Hudson is one of the most tragic in Cana dian history It was June 22 1611 that there was mutiny on board his ship Discovery in Hudson Bay He his youn son the ships carpenter an five men suffering from scurvy were all cast adrift in small boat and were never seen again The reason for the mutiny was that Hudson believed he had discovered the Arctic route to the Pacific and insisted on spending the winter at the mouth of Ruperts River James Bay It was terrible winter and most of the men suf fered from scurvy When the ice broke in the spring they wanted to return to England but Hudson insisted on con tinuing his exploration Robert Bylot who later be came famous as an explorer took charge of the ship until it got back to England The muti neers were put on trial and By lot claimed that he had been asleep below deck and had taken no part He and eight oth ers were acquitted It is be lieved that the authorities were lenient because they needed trained men to make other voy ages into the Arctic Hudson Bay is certainly one of the most istoric names in Western countries and is con cerned about the future security of South Africas four million whites outnumbered by 18 million nonwhites He has in recent years been trying to reach accommodation with neighboring blackruled states Both the United States and South Africa share common concern over growing Soviet in fluence and inroads in southern Africa Racial developments in South Africa are being closely wat ched at the UN where South Africa maintains somewhat of lowprofile presence KEPT OUTSIDE South Africa still is full member of the UN but its dele gates were refused admission to the 1974 session of the General Assembly by the credentials committee because of their countrys racial policies The delegation did not attempt to attend the 1975 session and the question of ad mission did not arise However the South African ambassador to the UN who doubles as ambassador to the United States in Washington and his staff attend Security Council and other meetings when South African policies are attacked and provide spirited defence There has been speculation that black African states may call for Security Council meeting if the racial violence continues While South Africa can be ex pected to argue that the devel opments are an internal mat ter and thus outside the pur view of the UN some diplomats feel that apartheid has been the subject of enough UN speeches and resolutions to make case for Security Council discussion of the current disturbances Canada The Hudson River in the United States was also named after him although he was not the first explorer to en ter it That distinction belongs to Verrazano who found the present site of New York City in 1524 OTHER JUNE 22
