Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Delayed Wage Boosts Could Lead One feature of the increase in wages given to Ontario civil serv- ants is particularly pertinent at a time of heightening hassle in tne federal field with some of the post- men still intent on doing battle with Ottawa. The significant point in the. On- tario settlement is that, for the first time, the increase was arrived at through negotiations between the - government and the Ontario Civil Service Association, which repre- sents all government employees. It was the first major agreement reached following the collective bar- gaining procedures which were in- troduced two years ago. And, as veteran Queen's Park observer Don. O'Hearn notes, it means that these procedures apparently are going to be quite workable, and that vi should have labor peace in the gov ernment service. Never is a long, long time. We can't say for certain that a walk-out such as that taken by the postmen will never occur in provincial af- fairs. But the bargaining process To Inflation Ontario now has provides for com- pulsory arbitration when agreenient can't be reached. Federally, this has been exactly what has been re- quired. The Ottawa delay in insti- tuting it through legislation has re- sulted.in great public inconvenience and hardship. In the granting of wage in- creases both provincially and to the postmen, the door has been opened to the economic danger of a wage spiral across the country. It is not a case of the increases not being de- served, although some postmen ap- pear not yet content. The substan- tial increases were undoubtedly de- served, the disservice lies in the fact that they were so long delayed. Over the years, governments have been too niggardly, or, as Mr. O'Harn says, quite ,unrealistic in giving increases. As a result, gov- ernment pay scales had become far out of line with those of industry. Exceptionally large boosts were re- quired to bring them back to par. The een could be what govern- ments fleast @esire, a wave of infla- tion. That August Anxiety ! In many aspects of the field of education, great strides have been made by the provincial department charged with the responsibility.

(CP) -- The Northwest Territo- ries is casting a hopeful eye on tourism as a possible major in- dustry of the future. Last year about 5,000 visitors spent $1,300,000 in the Terri- tories, approximately $1 for every square mile of its vast terrain. This was only one-third' of one per cent of the total tourist, spending in Canada. But it re resented a 30-per-cent increase over such spending in the Tefri-+ tories in 1963 and was N.W.T.'s fourth-largest soukce of revenue? after mining, com- mercial fishing and liquor sales. : "B. G. Sivertz, ¢ommissioner of the N.W.T., told the Territo- rial council this summer the tourist trend is '"'encouraging."* Privately, the Territorial gove ernment is far more enthusias- tic. This year its Otiawa tourist office published a variety of travel 'literature, heralding the North as the last, exciting North American frontier. Sports fishing is touted as a major lure. There are 13 oper- ating fishing lodges, stretched from the Arctic, coast to the Alberta border./One, on Great Bear Lake, is said to have grossed $500,000 during a nine- week seasonwlast year. It charged fishermen from $695 to $1,000 for an all-expense week, including transportation from Winnipeg. OFFER NEW CAREER The lodge is fully booked this season. Some observers say .sports fishing should bring in $5,000,000 this year, Indians and Eskimos are being encouraged to consider guiding asa career in which they may earn far more than by conventional fish- ing and trapping. But the Territorial govern- ment suggests there may be even more Yor the tourist. Guide books admit swimming is 'generally. attempted only when necessary." But canoe trips, art courses, and expedi- tions to photograph wild ani- mals or collect plants or rock samples are all held out as attractions. A potential tourist can ar- range to harpoon a whale on the Arctic coast or spend a night in an igloo, The latter pastime is limited to winter or early spring, however, as "ig- loos become very damp in warm weather," the tourist of- fice says. Recently the Territorial gov- ernment hired a full-time tourist development officer, Larry Cha- teauvert, formerly with the On- tario tourist bureau at Orillia. He is one of the government's first employees, and works out of Fort Smith. "Yellowknife had 4,000 visit- ors jJast year. I: don't seé why this @ouldn't eventually be in- creased to 40,000, provided there is sufficient accommoda- tion," he said. MUST BE RICH But some northerners believe the stern realities of life in the Territories will limit the flow of visitors to a certain number of wealthy adventurers -- proba- bly Americans--for a genera- tion at least. Yellowknife, the 'Territories' largest settlement, is set on a geslogical formation of precam- brian rock and evergreen not unlike the Georgian Bay area of Ontario. But it has only slightly more than 100 hotel and motel rooms, and there;is no sign of large-scale development in the offing. Daylight is almost continuous through the North's brief sum- mer, but the climate even then is unpredictable. Even on shelt- ered lakes more than three months of open water cannot be expected. Snow is possible even in July. Northern travel is for neither : the weak-hearted nor the slim- pursed.

'Quarks' Could Be Keystone To Gravity By FRANK CAREY WASHINGTON (AP)--A hy- pothetical source of energy vastly more powerful than that loosed by the hydrogen bomb could, if harnessed, prove use- ful both in war and peace, say some eminent nuclear physi- cists "Quarks" is the name as- signed to some still undiscoy- ered sub-nuclear particles be- lieved by these physicists to constitute the long-sought basic building stones of all matter in the universe--perhaps even the keystones to basic forces of nature, such as gravity. The physicists cite the pos- Bible existence of these par- ticles as one reason why the United States should greatly expand its activities in the ex- pensive -- and controversial-- world of huge atom-smashing machines. That .wWorld is definitely in the news. Hundreds of communities across the U.S. are competing to provide the site for the largest, costliest atom-smasher ever built, See ar 'Seenerec reac REYNE FEET FRENCH STYLES It Separatism Imposes Itself Then It Becomes An Outlaw Sherbrooke La Tribune--A fellow editorial writer wrote the day after the July 1 sep- aratist demonstrations in Montreal that separatism is a party like eny other and should be so treated. We would agree, but with certain conditions. First, as the other writer said himself, that it is recognized that the government violates no one's rights when it enforces the law. This was precisely what the government intended when it asked the young demon- strators to disperse in Jeanne Manrce Park. There are, we khow, several separatist movements, Some boast of being democratic and want to enjoy all the freedom the law grants any political movement. Others openly present themselves as revolu- tionary and mean to conduct themselves as such. It is clear that the two movements, though subject to the same laws, will not receive the same treatment. The separatist movement which remains within the framework of democracy will have all the liberties democ- racy affords. But it must first submit to the law. Thus the separatists who, on the ave of July 1, asked authorization to meet at the Champlain mon- ument in Quebec received the permission. Things went otherwise at Jeanne Mance park in Montreal because this category of separatists defied the law by assembling without even asking authorization. In the first case everything went smoothly under the eye of the police, which played its role of surveillance. In the other, events took a very dif- ferent turn, and the police treated these separatists as they 'deserved to be treated, that is as_ revolutionaries, straightforwardly denying or- der and law. As a political party, sep- aratism will be judged by the electorate. But as soon 'as separatism decides that it is not the people who should judge it and tries, by any means at all, to impose itself on the people, it becomes an outlaw and deserves to be treated as such. No one, for any reason, likes to be pushed, even by a separatist, especially when he flouts the law. Man Like Wagner Provides Efficiency, Energy In Quebec Is Quebec on the way to be- coming a "police state?" We ofien hear this, particularly in 'intellectual' and pseudo- intellectual circles At present Quebec and the rest of Canada couldn't be further from_a "police state." And yet for several years our province has been going through a_ troubled period. When bombs kill. innocent people, when young people-- believing themselves inspired ~--invade armories and _ seize arms, the police are certainly right to redouble their prud- ence, to make their presence more firmly felt. The same is true when demonstrations threaten to degenerate into riots. Must demonstrations be banned? This is out of the question unless we are prac- tically certain that the demon- strations will lead to riots. ' 'As for the minister of jus- tice (Claude Wagner), it would be greatly exaggerated to believe he is trying to lead the province toward a "police state." Did he not tell police and fire chiefs recently: 'Be- yond the growing require- ments of police work there. exist, and primarily, the wel- fare of the individual and the common good of society." These are no abstract words. They are borne out by the minister's creation of a con- sulting council on justice . . . and his great concern for non- political prosecutions. It has become a form of conformity in our' "'intellec- tual" and right-thinking cir- cles . . . to repeat as a pass- word the same anti-Wagner- ian refrain. Mr. Wagner is a determ- ined man. He is a purist and it is not impossible to believe he should guard against a ~ certain authoritarianism. But it is time we had a man of this calibre in a pro- vincial, department which needs efficiency and energy. --Quebec Le Soleil TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Aug. 7, 1965... Henry Tudor, earl of The machine, proposed by the Atomic Energy Commission, would be a 200 billion electron volt device costing $280,000,000 with a $50,000,000 annual oper- ating budget. It would be nearly a mile in diameter. TAKEN FROM BOOK The term Quarks is one the physicists borrowed from James Joyce's novel Finnegan's Wake, the story of a bartender named Humphrey who was a virtually non-stop dreamer. But Humphrey occasionally "sur- faced" from his dreams when a clock would strike. And, at such times, he'd yell: 'Three quarks for Mr. Mark!" The physicists have applied the word quarks to the hypo- thetical particles. The latest word-on the quarks theory came at recent hearings held by a subcommittee of the joint congressional atemic en- ergy committee. These hearings had as their general theme: "What's the value of atom- smahers to the human race?" The AEC wants a $6,000,000,- 000, 15-year program including construction, in the near future, of the 200-BEV atom-shamer. This would have almost seven times the energy of the world's present most powerful machine, an American one, Atom-smashers -- which have names like cyclotron, bevatron, _ Synchrotron, and synchro-cyclo- tron--are designed the fundamental matter. They do this by accelerating sub-nuclear "bullets -- such as electrons and protons -- to speeds approaching the velocity of light (186,000 miles a second) and imparting tremendous ener- gies to them. The projectiles then crash through the nuclei or hearts of atoms of various "tar- get" chemicals. It's a case of using machines the size of a small town to invade a nuclear world only one ten-thousandth the size of an atom. You can fit literally thousands of atoms on a pin- head. ; Only a generation ago the atomic nucleus was thought to consist of only. two kinds of par- ticles -- neutrons and protons, But the atom-smasbera have to explore forces of now uncovered a whole brigade of about 100 additional ones. And the scientists figure there well may be others in what they call the 'nuclear jungle." SEE BROAD BENEFITS At the congressional hearings, the majority weight of testi- mony by a parade of scientists from various fields was this: While research with atom- smashers has little chance of altering the price of groceries, or yielding new types of house- hold equipment, it might even- tually yield great practical ben- efits to man -- possibly in a range from medical benefits to weather control. And, whether or not it uncovers some new source of energy, it might well lead to tapping additional en- ergy from the atom of the types now employed in atomic and hydrogen bombs. The world's most powerful alom-smasher at present is the 33-BEV machine at Brookhaven Laboratory. But the Soviet Union is build- ing a 70-BEV job which it ex pects to put in operation next year.

We have long been of the belief that public policy should' be directed to ensuring that all Canadians can obtain health ser- vices of high quality according to their need for such services and irrespective of their ability to pay. It would be our policy to establish and operate a na- tional medical care plan if the constitutional responsibility to do so were ours, or if all the Provinces wished to make it ours, But that is not the. situation. The responsibilities of decision and of execution in this matter are essentially provincial, At the same time, the scope and nature of the problem is such as to create a necessary na- tional concern. Therefore, there is a measure of Dominion re- sponsibility that has been ex- pressed over the years in many policies of Canadian govern- ments. The reasons why medicare is desirable, and the means of putting it into effect, have been widely discussed since the re- port of the Royal Commission on-Health Services was publish- ed last year. Accordingly we have attempted, by means of visits of Dominion officials to the provincial capitals and through other discussions; to in- form ourselves as fully as pos- sible within their jurisdiction. A NATIONAL STANDARD These investigations have Jed us to the impression that all provincial governments rank high among their objectives the establishment of a health ser- vice plan which will enable their residents to have access to com- prehensive physicians' services on a prepaid basis. That, as I have said, is also the Dominien view. There are, naturally, consid- erable differences as to the type of plan which Provinces favor. Perhaps. even more significant are the variations in the capa- city of Provinces to finance the health services which they re- gard as needed. These are the circumstances that create the necessity for a federal role. If a certain stan- dard of public medical services is needed and approved by Ca- nadians generally, appropriate fiscal resources have to be brought into play on a national scale in order to make the: ser- vices available to a national standard in all parts of our country. SUR RESPONSIBILITY I believe that Canadian atti- tudes and Canadian economic standards have now developed to the point at which we are ready to regard medicare as a part of Canada's basic social standards, Accordingly, I re- peat that it is now the-respon- sibility of the-Dominion govern- ment to co-operate with the Provinces in making medicare financially: possible for all Ca- nadians. The government ac- cepts that responsibility, In giving this undertaking, 1 am not proposing a new shared- cost program. The Dominion government is not prepared to initiate additional progtams of that kind when their future place in our joint arrangements is under review by the Tax Structure Committee, which our conference established last year. Shared-cost programs' have played a valuable role in the past. In certain fields they may continue to do so in future. But in the case of medicare I be- lieve it is appropriate and pos- sible to proceed) by another route. The Dominion. government, subject of course to parliamen- tary approval, will support pro- vincial medicare plans by means of a fiscal contribution of pre-determined size, COMPLETE PLAN This 'profiosal does not re- quire detailed agreements gov- erning the medicare plan. It calls only for a general Domin- ion-provincial understanding as to the nature of the health pro- grams which will make a Do- minion fiscal contribution ap- propriate. The Dominion govern- ment believes that there are four criteria on which such an understanding should be based. First, the scope of benefits should be, broadly speaking, all the services provided by physi- cians, both general practitioners and specialists. A complete health plan would include dental treatment, pre- scribed drugs, and other impe-- tant services, and there is noth- ing in the approach we propose to prevent these being included, from the start or later, if this were the general wish, We re- gard comprehensive physicians' services as the initial minimum, Mobility Important Factor Recognized With Program Secondly, we would propose that the plan should be univer- sal. That is to say, it should cover all residents of the Prov- ince on uniform terms and con- ditions. In practice, the idea of universality is subject to some qualification by administrative practicability. But-it must, I think, be clearly the objective. Since the basic reason for a Do- minion contribution is to make medicare possible for all Cana- dians, it would hardly be logical to bring a federal contribution into play for plans not aimed at universal coverage. Thirdly, I think it will readily be agreed that a Dominion con- tribution can properly be made available only to a plan which is publicly administered, either directly by the provincial gov- ernment or by a provincial gov- ernment agency. Fourthly, and finally, I think it is important to recognise the Canadians; each provincial plan should therefore provide full transferability of benefits when people are absent from the Province or when they move their homes to an- other Province. oe COMMITTEE OF MINISTERS The discussions of our offi- cials to which I referred earlier, lead me to hope that these four principles will command general approval. If that is confirmed by this conference, it would per- haps be appropriate for us to establish a committee of Min- isters of Health who, with their advisors, would be charged to express these crileria, and any others that may be generally agreed, in language sufficient- ly precise to prevent misconcep- tions I would expect that this com- mittee would also be able to agree on the establishment of ment of machinery for consul- tation about the standards and operation of medical services. The technical assistance of the Department of National Health and Welfare will be made available to the Provinces in the development of their ser- vices, PROVIDING DRUGS When medicare begins, Cana- dians will be relieved of costs which they are now paying ei- ther directly to their doctors-t through various prepayment plans. Instead they will have te pay more in public revenues, to meet these existing costs and those of the improvements in service which are brought about. The Dominion and provincial governments together will have to raise the revenue needed for medicare, or else reduce other expenditures. Prepaid medical care is the largest item in a complete 'pro gram for health services, but it is far' from being the whole of such a program. There are other areas in which either joint action or the concerting of parallel Dominion and provine cial action ought to be consid ered. One such area which we-ree ferred to in the last Throne Speech was the quality and availability of drugs and their relation to the prices that the piblic has to pay. As you know, Parliament has established a special committee to enquire into the matters. We hope that its recommendations will have the effect of reduc- ing the prices of drugs, and thereby make it easier for a complete health service to make drugs prescribed for major ill- ness available on a_ prepaid Dasis. MAJOR INVESTMENT All premiers will, of course, be concerned that medicare plans should help to create a professional climate that at- tracts increasing numbers of able people to the study and practice of medicine and relat- ed professions, and thereby pro- gressively improves the quality of the care that can be provided to Canadians. This will involve Jarge investments in research and in facilities. Thé Dominion government has in the past made considerable contributions to the meeting of such needs. We recognise the increasing needs and are prepared to es- tablish a Health Resources Fund from which increased contribu- tions. for appropriate purposes could be made in future. In con- sidering how such a Fund should be established and operated, we will of course take into account the Provinces' views as to the most effective lines of action.
