There is a tendency, as we start

back, to don rose-coloured glasses

more cligusting 'symptoms of ap-
proaching senility', and should be
resisted stoutly. - „

. Fortunately, seeking a x-

what she did When -she was a kid,
• on the 24th. "Nothing," she replied
Sadly, but 'sensibly, I realized,that
what I'd been about to write was
pure piffle. There wasn't a y
great celebration on the 24th,
when I was a kid. -It was just a
welcomeholiday, and no Idd I ever

For the firsttime /since the closing anything in the' way -of munitions or
of the American 'Civil War in 1865, manufactUred goods that British
• U. K. sales to the U. S. have exceed- ships could deliver. - '
ed U. S. exports to Britain. In the
first quarter of 1959, the trade lztal-
ance in the U. K.'s favor was over
$7. million and the trend is upward.
This is a remarkable achievement
for a country which lost so much in
the last war and since. And 4t is all
the more remarkable, when you re-
alize that in, 1865 the British • pound
was worth $7 in terms of U. S. Cur-
- rency and the Americans of ---both
- north and south ;were eager to buy
•
•
Today, with the pound worth Jess ,
• than half as Much, far mare goods'
have to be` shipped and there is stren--
uouS peacetime competition to meet
from. other countkies.
, Surely if the British, through coin-
'petitive selling, can reverse a cen-
tury -old trade defidt with the U.S.,
Canada can take page out of- the
British book and , reduce its own
deficit with the same country by the

The 'main reason is that the IVIP

the other in Ottawa. Why should
the MP's have to be separated
'from their families more' than half
the year and live in dingy Ottawa

sithject to many additional expens-

ents visiting Ottawa expect to be
entertained by this ,"big wheel"

charity drive, of course, has the

to $1,500 in 1901 and $2,500 in 19047
The sessional indennlity wag
ed to $4,000 in 1920 and the, $2,000
tax-free expense allowance was -
added in 1945. In -1954 the pay was
raised to $8,000, but put on. a year,
ly basis, so that the pessibility --
an. MP getting,. double pay if two
sessions were held in a year was
.removed. The expense allOvvance
was retained, so that MP's pay to-
day amounts to $10,000 a year. Mr.
Fisher wants the pay raised to
$12,000 and the allowance to $3,000.
