Canadians 'these days, and get them 'back to the im- portant things in life, like mak- ing money, love and rock gar- dens. Symptems of the national ulcer are everywhere: the fer- ocirba of the Canadian flag argument; the lurking threat of violence in Quebec; the growing defiance of police by youth gangs; the increase in homitidal tactics on our high- ways. Perhaps -a little blood-letting would purge our native land of this,tendency to quibble and -squabble about everything from -the national anthem to the water level in the Great Lakes. There's also the matter of international prestige. All the- big boys — England, France, Russia, the U.S., China — have been -through an all-out dlvi] war, and gone on to greater things. In each ease the country was so whacked oat by the end of 'the war, that everybody stopped bickering and complain- ing, and got down to the job of becoming a Great Nation. How can we 'hope to gain respect of the world if we never go through a testing time of seething hatred, unmentionable cruelties, gallant guerrillas, and; all the other ingredients of a good civil war? r How is our national char- acter to be transformed freer]. lumpy porridge to forged steel if we never- throw a Molotov cocktail, blow up •a bridge, or hurl ourselves, barehanded, against 'tanks? , We should be ashamed of ourselves.

If the funds do, in fact, build to this size, they will have a much greater impact on Canada's financial markets than has so far been. generally appreciated, even in professional circles. •How much is $8,000 million? It is about equal to foreign investment in Canadian manufacturing, oil and gas, mining and public utilities. It is enough to buy a new car for half the families in Canada (assuming the price of about `$3,000 per car). It is one half of the - total money supply in Canada today.

If Canadians in all provinces are paid uniform pensions in. the years ahead they may thank the quiet-spoken, earnest man who now oc- cupies the corner office on the second floor in Queen's Park. He is the one chiefly responsible—not Prime Minister Pearson or Premier Jean Lesage. Robarts was the key piece in the pension jigsaw.

Under the latest version of the Canada Pension Plan, expected to go into operation Jan. 1, 1966, the pro- vinces will control investments of the money that accumulates as the plan develops. Many ObserVers believe this will lead to big changes in provincial and municipal borrowing patterns. How- ever, there are still some strong objec- tions to the plan in its present form among many pension authorities and financial men. Their objecticins vary, but on balance the most frequent and most serious opposition arises from the. prospect of putting such huge sums ($8,000 million by 1975) into the hands of the politicians, It could become a vote-buying fund unequaled in history, —The Financial Post.

Ottawa could have gone ahead with its scheme without Jean Lesage. But it could not proceed without both Jean Le- sage and John Robarts, in spite of the brave boasts to the contrary that came from the Federal Government.
