Alvin Hamilton, who could have been regarded as an unsuccessful Sas- katchewan politician on June 9, has suddenly become the political godfather of Canada's vast north- ern empire with globe-ranging ideas for tying Canadian re- sources into free world strategy The 45-year-old former high school teacher in Saskatchewan, recently catapulted into the big job of minister of northern af fairs and national resources, wants to improve both the exploi- tetion and the conservation of Canadian resources Personable Mr. Hamilton, one of two men whom Prime Minister Diefenbaker has picked for the oabinet before they have set foot #m the Commons, is approaching his job boldly IDEAS FOR CABINET As provincial Progressive Con- servative leader in Mr. Diefen- baker's home province of Sas- katchewan for eight years up to this summer, he produced some ideas which he evidently intends to try out on the eabinet. Some relate to resources development, a field on which he has long con- centrated. Mr. Hamilton not only has pever been in the Commons, but be also has had the dubious dis- tinetion of being a long-time pro- vincial leader without ever hav- fog been a member of the pro- vincial legislature. He lost three provincial elec tion campaigns and two federal ones before be- ing elected for Qu'appe!'e. in the Conservative national win June 10. After the general election, Mr. Hamilton figured he hadn't much chance of a full cabinet portfolio, what with Mr. Diefenbaker ;iv- ing Saskatchewan representation as prime minister and minister of external affairs. But, while in the West, he heard over the radio that he'd been named a minister, BIGGEST CATCH |just in time to fly to Ottawa for lhis swearing-in Aug. 21. Mr. Hamilton is wary of pre- dicting publicly what he may do now that he is a minister run- ning a $46,000,000-a-year depart- ment reaching into many faceis of Canadian life These include the relationship between the federal government and the provinces on forestry re- sources, administration of serv- ices in the north, the tourist-pro- moting Canadian government travel bureau, wild life services national parks, historic sites and the national museum BASIC PRINCIPLES In an interview, Mr said he has a number of basic principles he has enunciated in the past and hopes to use as guid" ance for his ministerial policies Basically, he feels that through no one's fault--the coun- try has developed unevenly. The Maritimes had fallen behind the economic growth of central Can- ada, and the western provinces also had not benefitted in full measure A second principle is that Can- ada's national resources can play a vital part in world strategy. They were doing no good to Can- ada or the free world generally by remaining untapped. And in this respect he feels there is much to be developed in the North. Mr. Hamilton believes the fed- eral government can make the development of resources a pay- ing proposition for the national treasury. Spending on such pro- jects as access roads to remote -esources could pay off in cash through taxation on companies whose profits are boosted by such help. "I look on this department as one that can make money for the government, rather than spend it," Mr. Hamilton said.

His idea of resources generally, particularly those not automatic- they ally self-renewing, is that belong not only to the present but to all future generations of Cana- dians. Federal authorities should do all possible to perpetuate them. As for federal participation with the provinces in resources development programs, Mr, Hamilton points to his party's platform which pledges a Con- servative government to 1. Join, at the request of a vince, in joint investment grams that are directly liquidating 2. Take an 'aggressive' atti- tude in those programs that are not directly self-liquidating but pro- pro- self- which would appear to pay off eventually through bolstering the general national income. Such aggressiveness could amount to making proposals fo provinces for joint programs The controversial the South power amd irrigation project, hanging fire for many years, falls somewhere between categories, in Mr. Hamilton's es- timation. He said he thinks the project whose estimated cost has run anywhere from $135,000,000 to $285,000,000--could be made en- |tirely self - liquidating provided certain points could attain agree- ment of the governments con- cerned. But he also believes it could be split into two parts, one largely self-liquidating and other not so. However, he re- fused to be drawn into detailed discussion on this political hot potato.
