Writing as a guest columnist for Patrick Nicholson who is on vacation, Mr. MaeHachen eoughit to establish the point that the kind of leadership being provided by Prime Minister Pearson is (a) exceptionally suited to coping with the extreme and _wildly-diverse social, economic and "eultural stresses now at work not only in Canada but in most coun- tries; and that (b), on the basis of these circumstances and of results, present leadership in this country compares favorably with anything in its history, or to be found in other countries. The Welland Tribune has taken adroit aim and provided an astute rebuttal to the minister's argu- ment. The newspaper contends if any stich @weeping judgment ever is going to be accepted, it will have to become established on the basis of historical perspective instead of being rendered now. The Tribune continues: In current terms, the obstacle to Leadership Lauded Will Take Some Doing --* acs it was atated on the same day that the' MacKachen article appeared, by Charles Lynch, chief of the Southam News Service, when he spoke of Prime Minister Pear- &on's. "inability, or unwillingness, to rise to an occasion and appeal to the higher motives of the parties (figuring in a dispute)". Mr. MacKachen contended that the prime minister's method, in stead of demonstrating such an "inability", is the right one to use in acting on the "different and of- ten conflicting pressures" that are "fragmenting our people along geographical, cultural; even intellec- tual lines." The fact remains that it will take more than skill in negotiating be- hind closed doors--more than sur- render to particular pressures with- out regard for their larger conse- quences--if Mr, Pearson ever is to rank as the sort of leader Mr. Mac- Eachen has proclaimed him to be. He'll also have to heal 'that "ina- bility" ascribed to him by Mr. Lynch,and find a way to swing the country behind him while proceed- ing with efforts to heal its frag- mentations.

And even if it is proven, it proves noth- ing more than to indicate just how far one determiried admiral will go to add weight to an argument. The Guelph Mercury makes the point that what many people, busy patting Landymore on the back for sacrificing what was left of his car- eer for a principle, forget is that Mr. Hellyer is also staking his poli- tical career on a belief. And he stands to lose more than Admiral Landymore. Before the country chooses .be- tween the two men it ought to be remembered that what is really at stake is not the future of two men, but the future of Canada's armed services --- whether they will con- tinue in the old costly and ineffic- ient way, or be given a chance to emerge as a smali-nation military showpiece for the world. The Mercury states, the key question is whether Mr. Hellyer's policy is right or wrong. And there has been nothing so far to indicate that it is fundamentally wrong. liberally at dinner tables QUEEN'S PARK Trees Added Expo Exhibit D..

Ontario's' show at Expo 67 will be on display at this year's Canadian National Exhi- gy And a striking pamphiet is béing distributed at a travel- ating exhibit which is touring local fairs. Out. of this there are happy notes to report. The Ontario display will not look 86 much like a deserted set from the Shiek of Araby as it first seemed. Early models and sketchés of the Expo exhibit pictured the province's people as a bunch of starched handkerchiefs that had got lost in a wind storm. Bare, white and bleak--and hard to identify with Ontario in any Way. Now there are trees. PLANT 140 TREES One hundred and forty red pine, poplar and white bireh, some up to 60 feet tall, have been specially cultivated, will be growing around and inside the pavilion.

Such a prom. ise, Of course, can't be believed until the meal has been seen, eaten and digested. It is hardly credible that it ean be true. Food costs have been the big- gest source of public complaint at the major fairs and exhibi- tions on this continent. If our Ontario Expo people~ with Economics Minister Stan- ley Randall in the van--actually have convinced a caterer that he can provide a "good" meal for a dollar, then they must fence to the other world with Houdini. BIG GAMBLE Considering the time élement ~only six months to make back the overhead--and the gamble, you just can't see how anyone can provide a "good" meal for such a price. However, that's what the men are promising, and you have to go along with them--at least until Expo opens and you see what a dollar really does pro- duce) And if there is a good $1 meal at Expo; let grace be said by all who eat it to Bob Nixon. of Brant. It will be remembered that the young Liberal member made a plea in the house that a family should be able to eat at the fair without having to wash dishes to pay for it.

Granted there have been cases of money spent in non- aera ah ways and may ave been misappropriated, but never have We had a major out- right case of stealing. This speaks well, not only for the system of control of moneys, but particularly of the auditor ey dre whose responsibility it as been to keep control of the purse strings. As chairman of the public accounts committee in this ses+ sion of Parliament, and as one who hés sat on this committee under|two auditor generals--the late Watson Sellar and the pres- ent auditor general, Maxwell HendersonI have no hesitation in speaking most highly of the work and calibre of these two~ gentlemen. When one considers that the auditor general is responsible for auditing the expenditure of more than 4 billion a year one can realize what a tremendous job it is and the responsibility that goes with it.

Diefs smn ee Gigantic Fiasco In1711 By BOB BOWMAN Britain might have captured Canada from France in 1711 instead of 1763 if it. had not been for a gigantic fiasco in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Aca- dia had already been taken, renamed Nova Scotia, and Quéen Année was determined to capture the remaindér of French territory in North America, An army and navy for the invasion was raiséd in Britain and in the American colinies. When the force sailed from Boston early in August, there were 70 ships, including nine men-of-war, and 12,000 soldiers and sailors. It was the biggest military operation ever under- taken in North America to that time. Unfortunately the leadership was poor. Sir Hovenden Walker was the admiral, but there is no record, even today of how he attained that position. The commander of the army was London playboy-soldier, John Hill, whose sister had become Queen Anne's closest com- panion, and keeper of the Queen's purse. On the night of August 23, 1711, the fleet was in rain and fog in the Gulf of St. Lawrence near Anticosti. Sir Hovenden Walker calculated that he was near the south shore with plenty of clearance to the north, as the river is 70 miles wide in that area. He ordered the fleet to be Srought to, with bows heading north, and went to bed, Suddenly an ar cap- tain rushed into his ca¥in and shouted that there were break- ers on all sides.

Most of its Moslem people ab stain from alcohol; France is cutting down its imports. The dilemma facing Algeria is deserthed by a Canadian Press reporter who visited the country. PETER BUCKLEY TERS (CP)--Oceans of rich red wine seem about to flood over teetotalling l- geria, as if to support the gobering admonition of the Prophet. "Oh believers, know that intoxication ... (is) an abom- ination and Satan's handi- work," says the Koran, holy book of Islam. "Avoid it that ye may prosper.' To a remarkable degree, Algerians and other North Af- ricans obey the Islamic law on liquor. Even in the relative sophistication of the major ties, the vast majority -of loslems about three-quarters of the country's 12,000,000 population) would not con- sider consuming alcohol Yet North Africa~and par- ticularly Algeria--is one of the world's great wine-pro- ducing areas. The paradox has become one of the most painful in the aftermath of colonialism ' Earlier this year, Algeria announced that her reserves of unsold wine after last year's bumper harvest to: talled 440,000,000 gallons: Her traditional market in France has shown alarming signs of up. 'fat erally off since 1962, "when the more experienced. French wine-growers fled or had their properties seized by the state after independence, Algeria is still turning out more than 200,000,000 gallons a year. SPACE AT PREMIUM The 'beautiful valleys and plains of the Mediterranean coast are green for mile upon mile with orderly rows of vines, their grapes growing in the benevolent stn- shine, "T don't know where I can put this year's harvest.'"' said the quiet - spoken Algerian wine supervisor at a national- ized estate outside Algiers. In the dim coolness of the farm's great cellar, standing amid rows of sealed outlets to the underground vats,. he complained: "We have almost no storage space left. But one cannot pour it into the ditches." The wine industry has been grafted onto the North Af- rican economy like a scented blossom onto an inhospitable shrub. First in Algeria and later in neighboring Tunisia and Mo- roceo, the French colonists imported their vines and their wine-producing heritage. Most of the wine was con- sumed initially by the "co- lons." Then France began to import increasing quantities of the North African product, using its higher alcohol con- tent and fuller flavor to bol- atid more timid French vari- etia:. "pe vin ordinaire that flows have ing full throughout France sometimes contains a half or more by volume of Algerian wine, par- ticularly if it Languedoc or other provinces of southern France.

However, the captain returned in a few minutes and pleaded with the admiral to go out on deck and see for himself. Then it was learned that the ships were -almost crashing on the north shores of the Seven Islands. Walker took what action he could and managed to save the warships. However, eight troop transports went aground with a loss of about 1,000 men. After a council on board General Hill's ship 'Windsor' 4% was decided to give up the invasion and return to Boston and Britain. Admiral Walker and General Hill had no will to fight, even though they could still muster a force of 11,000 men, almost equal to the en- tire population of French Can- ada. Another force "of 2,000 men, under Francis Nicholson, was at Lake Champlain ready to attack Montreal when Ad- miral Walker's force attacked Quebec. It had to disperse when news of the fiasco became known.

(CP)-- The trouble in the North, North- ern Affairs Minister Arthur Taine tala 7 parli jamentary committee, is that not enough Canadians still have the pio- neering spirit of the frontier. People living in the North," however, have another view. They say 'the trouble is that there isn't a frontier any more, and neither people with a gen- uine thirst for adventure nor those who like the civilization of the south are attracted. Many northern communities have slumbered since their hey- day 40 years ago or more, when river traffic and a boom- ing fur trade created settle- meénts along the Mackenzie River and around Great Slave Lake. All that bas stopped because there is no self-starting econ- omy possible in thousands of square miles of the North. And all the country is cold, isolated and expensive, with near-dark- ness much of the winter and mosquitoes and black flies for much of the summer. Hence the sometimes desper- ate shortage in the North of social workers, engineers, den- tists, priests, teachers, stenog- raphers; businesses and con- struction firms. OVERSELL NORTH "Not many young priesit want to come north these days," said Rev, Mare Barrier a 38-year-old Oblate missionary. at Fort Smith, who has lived in the North 13 years. 'They want to go to South America, Africa or Asia because they think it is more difficult," "People who come north look- ing for adventure don't realize the frontier they have read about in books is mostly non- sense these days," says A. N. Rea, Mackenzie District person- nel administrator. "You can make or break yourself here and be an indi- vidual. But you probably won't make a nest egg, and any prob- lems you had in the south will be accentuated." Mr. Rea says tee little hope of filling 160 vacancies among 800 government posts in the Mackenzie District as long ag peaple come north for the We' re inclined to gversell the North when we 'recruit people," he said in an inter- view. "We hurt ourselves by doing this." The government's main need is for social workers to carry out its ambitious program of spreading southern - style wel- fare services to 6,000 Indians, 2,000 Eskimos and an uncounted number of metis. HAND OUT PAPER Welfare work cost the North- west Territories government $500,000 last year for 25,000 people. Yet welfare workers ad- mit that they areso overworked they can do little more than hand out social assistance vouchers. This does nothing to help people get free of welfare dependence and thus leads to in- creased costs. There are 18 posts for social workers but 11 are vacant. The northern affairs department re- cently canvassed all Canada but found only one welfare worker interested in coming north. "The department could face mass resignations from social workers in the North unless it meets their demands for salary increases and other improved working conditions," says Mr. Rea. Inadequate pay is the usual reason for the reluctance of professional people to move into enbaker, sét up the public ac- counts committee after the pat- tern of the British Parliament whereby a member of the Oppo sition party is chairman.

Princess Patri¢ia, daugh- ter of Governor-General the Duke of Connaught, pre- sented its colors to the armed unit named after her 52 years ago today--in 1914 -~in a ceremony at Ottawa. The Princess Patricia's Ca- nadian Light Infantry had been raised with a $100,000 grant offered by Montreal millionaire A. Hamilton Gault within 24 hours of Britain's declaration of war. Almost 90 per cent of the 1,089 men who filled its ranks within seven days of the start of enlistment were formér British soldiérs liv- ing in Canada--it was called "a microcosm of the Brit- ish army" because véterans of all but one British unit were among its members. It was the first Canadian unit to see action in the First World War. Later made a permanent force regiment, the Princess Patricias has won more military decora- tions than any other Cana- dian unit. 1775 -- King George III proclaimed open rebellion in the Thirteen Colonies. 1793 -- The French revy- olutionary government an- nounced conscription of the entire male population, First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916 -- Russians recaptured Mush in the Caucasus; Serbs made gains north of Strupino in Macedonia; the British captured a German trench system south of Thiepval.

INTERROGATE WITNESSES In, the study of the report; and when interrogating the wit- nesses, the committee uncovers many interesting facts. Natur+ ally, the committee is at all times conscious of how the tax payer's money has béén spent and seeks from the civil serv- ants involved their assurance that such errors or mistakes will not happen again, The case of the RCAF ordeér- ing 7,500 distréss signal flares for $54,304--drawings and spécif- ications obtained from the U.S. Navy proved obsolete and 24 design changes were made by the contractor. In May, 1963, the contract was terminated with the government paying $28,668 more than the firm price and obtained only 4,920 flarés--2,580 léss than orderéd and paid for, The deputy. minister told the committee the government had mistakenly been given obsolete specifications for a flare which had never been produced. A firm of naval architects made a $500,000 design error in a government ship, but the come mittee was told they were still getting some government jobs because naval architects were few and far between. However, the director of ship building for the department of transport "promised the committee future contracts with naval architecte will require them' to take insurance to cover extra. or mistakes. MISS BOAT The committee learned thé department of northern affair missed the boat and the tax- payer picked up the ticket for $44,000 plus a bill for $10,000 to ship goods that missed the shi ping, company's boat. Officials admitted to-the committee that they had no pénalty clause in their contract with the supplier i? he failed to have his goofs on the dock by a certain time as the ship was sailing to the Far North and had a deadline to meet in order to avoid the freezeup, Would you like to affix a special Christmas stamp with 1964 printed thereon on your 1965 Christmas mail? Post of- fice officials rightly decided that the public wouldn't buy these year-old stamps, so de- stroyed $16,000 worth of the over - estimated number of stamps they had purchased, They made one serious mistake by printing 1964 on the stamps, otnerwise tnéy could have sold them the following Christmas and thereby saved you and me $16,000. LOSTER BUTTER Not only did butter stored by the stabilization board of the department of agriculture melt in a fire to the tune of $23,000 of the taxpayer's money, but ' toward the close of the same year, 1964, thefts involving 64,» 000 pounds of butter stored in . warehouses in the province of peony amounted to another It was learned upon question- ing by members of the commit- tee that the loss by theft might have been the responsibility of the warehouse owner if the de- . partment official had checked with the department of justice. and learned that the laws in Quebec were different from those in other provinces. The effectiveness of the pub- lic accounts committee has sometimes been criticized on the grounds it performs a post mortem function. This may be so, but I am quite convinced that the very fact of the exist- ence of the committee is a deterrent to improper practices, a few of which I have listed above. I ional: believe that the public accounts commities is the best watchdog on Parlia: ment Hill. the North.
