Elizabeth is officially by the grace of God of the United Kingdom Canada and her other realms and territories Queen Head of the Commonwealth Defender of the Faith In when the Queen made her speech from the throne to open the parliament she said I greet you as your Queen together we constitute the Par liament of Canada We extend in this the Era and Express a warm welcome home to the Queen and her husband Prince Philip May their stay with us be a happy out- in spite of the gruelling schedule They wilt meet thousand of Canadian inheritors of that unbroken tradition that dates from the Magna Carta Our Queen is the symbol of parliamentary freedom hard won in the past to be cherished in the future Give her good welcome hornet FLAG OF FREEDOM Many varieties of Canadas flag will be flying from flagpoles across the country during the coming visit of the Queen This important visit again raises the question of which design should be the national flap Last week in parliament a Saskatchewan lawyer whose parents came from the Ukraine made an impassioned plea for the retention of the Union lack on any national flag which Canada might adopt The Financial Post reports Mr as say ing am going to tell you one thing When the boat on which my father came to Canada approached these shores he saw the Union Jack and found refuge under it This applies not only to my father but to millions of immigrants from all parts of the world To them it meant the same thing as the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor It meant that to my father because that flag guaranteed him freedom and liberty There are three schools of thought about the flag those who would eliminate both the Union Jack and the those who want the Union Jack some where on the flag anil those who consider the discussion of Ihe subject taboo Which are you OUR BILLION DOLLAR PROGRAM Last week we published excerpts from an article in the Canadian Commentator written by Dr Alcock leading Canadian authority on Nuclear Tower Today Dr Chalk gives details of providing India with Nuclear Power the cost to Canada its effect on unem ployment and an outline of the program Some people writes Dr Chalk argue that Canada cannot afford to supply India with reactors which would cost a total of over three hundred and fifty millions of dollars This i3 of course sheer nonsense We can and do afford an indescribably higher defence expense largely obsolete Why Because events have swept past us and we have not yet caught up In authorita tive sources state the Russians will have lCBMs all with Hbomb tips Now in the last war our best radar let per cent of the enemy planes through And they werent missiles so 10 per cent or per cent of Hbombs who cares Maybe you say the next war will be a restricted war Let me quote from the declaration made at Vienna en September 1958 third Conference by scientists from nations including the USSR USA Britain and Canada We therefore believe that even a restricted war would lead to widespread devasta tion of the territory in which it took place and to the destruction of much of population Further the losing side would be strongly tempted to use nuclear bombs against the population centres of the enemy in the hope of breaking his will to continue the war Finally ask our own military experts Major Ge neral S former deputy chief of Canadian Army as reported in the Toronto Star We havent got any defence we never had any defence Ihe security of this continent disappeared when the hydrogen bomb was made ami the Russians made a means to carry it Or LI Gen Guy former army chief of staff In the same paper There is no defence against the IhermonucleAI missile attack Be cause of bad judgment and planning in the past the US like ourselves is involved in a difficult position only they submit more to the pressure of lobbies than we have in the past or ought to in the future Their SAGE system and continued fighter program would mean if it off licit again of unemployment haunts can subsidize war we can subsidize peace can help to build up Canada and the world And there will be difficulty cooperating with the US for unlike defence production peaceful production is ours alone to decide Why not pick up Ihe gauntlet thrown down by Mr and fight the Soviet economically Why not answer the Russians by putting ourselves on a wartime basis for a peacetime purpose It is not the taxes that are destroying us but where the taxes go Take reactors We have seen what they can do for India But look what Indias reactors can do for Cost per unit 200 megawatts 61000000 Compo nents turbines generators controls switches pumps cranes building materials uranium and heavy water All can be made in Canada With preliminary design now complete on a crash program basis some construc tion could begin at once the rest in a year Estimated delivery time three years This pump priming would have two advantages It would prepare us for our own market when around 1965 we are ready for power react ors And it would be a mighty forward thrust towards developing export markets for both components and fuel Can we afford it Indeed can we not afford it To sum up let us reduce immediately our national defence spending by per cent and thereafter yearly by further 20 per cent steps Advertise the fact widely in the UN By this means we will have in five years reduced to one third our present expense for defence take up the slack by equally developing Canada and the underdeveloped countries mainly India Publicize this widely in the UN create a cabinet post to plan and guide this vast undertaking The minister should have re porting to him a committee of scientists and economists drawn from the universities government industry and the armed forces Both internal and external develop ment programs should be well integrated with our eco nomy and should be well balanced with respect to re search engineering and manufacture EDUCATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT Exams are underway again for the Newmarket High School students The results from these will de- ermine the future or fate of many Many have already decided this is the time to enter the business world and not bother continuing to University or even grade 13 Think again The National Employment Service latest findings show definite relationship between unemployment and education During the survey year two out of three unemployed had not gone beyond grade eight although the average education of the working force was much above Ihia The survey showed it Is extremely difficult to place students with less than grade ten education and when the layoffs come those with little education receive their notices first The more education young people have the better their chances are to stay out of the ranks of the unem ployed Principal J W Newmarket High School speaking to visiting grade eight students urged them to consider their future carefully Even the choices in the curriculum ran ratine later when one wishes to enter University Often Latin French Sciences and Mathematics are prerequisites Students who tend to skip by with the easy courses in High School arc then unable to enter their University
