Financially speaking, things have
been tough in Ottawa during recent
months.
There was the , all:time record
deficit of -,nearly a billion dollars;
there were the tax increases there
has been the highly promoted an.d ex-
pensive conversiori loan of a year
ago; there has been the threat of in-,
flation. And now the tight money
problem of which one of the primp.
causes was the Tory deficit of last
year, and which is causing:so much
difficulty for the sinall businessman
and farmer. All in all, it hasn't been
ahappy occasion for Prime Minister
biefen aker or Finance. Minister
Fleming, nor, or that matter, for any
Canadian who sees Canad,a's position
as a well-managed nation being chal-
lenged.

A *DUFF OTTAWA R6ORT
BATTLE Or 'THE ,PABS.
QVAWA—Orace again a major
battle Ma. -the controversial Crow's
nest -Pass rates on western export
grain, is shaping up as the Royal
commission on railways • settle§
down tdaits year-long task of -re-
• moving or alleviating. inequities in
the freight rates structure. Every
time a Royal Commission or some
other inquiry • is launched into
freight rates- in this count*, the
Crow's Nest pops into.the picture
and sparks begin-toeflY. •
Western Canadiaias always view
with alarm any suggestien thatthe
statutory grain -rates , may come
under scrutiny. They want no tam-
pering with those rates. This has
not been the View of the Canadian
Pacific Railaray and -.lately the -
Canadian National Railway has
echoed the protests of the CPR
with a faintly herd "me toe".
Consequently:when. Prime Minis-
ter Diefenbaker set up the latest
'Royal CornmissiOri to study freight
rates, under the cbairrnanship, of
Hon.. C: P. MeTague, ,of Toronto,
the experts prediethd that it would
not be long before it crashed into
•the Crow's Nest -Pass, They made
these predictions despite aSsuranc-
eaavoiced by the Prime Miniater
that the 'Crovv'S 'Nest •Pass rates
were to stand unchanged by the
Commissieres inqUiry
When Hon. Howard Green, as
acting prime minister, first an-
aouneed the enquiry late last year,
he assured the western. farmers
that suet' a review would not mean
that- they would have to pay more
freight on the shipmerit of grain for
export. Mr. Difenbaker when he
announced the forniatioi . of the
Royal Commission confirMed this
stand.
l'in happy to have a few cloae
friends. Most of us have many
acquaintances,' few true friends. I
have 'several friends .to whom I
could g� • for anYthing,. time of
need.' They'd-agiVe: me the shirt
off their backs; 'their last crust of
bread, their Wives, _anything. Ex -

it's wonderful to have happy,
healthy children, who only require
new, shoes every three months.

View that in our" ehildren, lies oaf

I find deep. satisfaction, It means
that my kids will probably have t

Are Canada's Barren Land § Really
By no means—but there arefew
trees, -except along the •valleys of
the rivers. Barren Lands is the
name 'applied to the great sub-
arctic area between Hudson Bay
en the east aridakareateSlave Lake
-and Great Bearalake on the west,
and extending from about latitude
59 degrees to the shores ef the Are -
tic Ocean. The appearance of the
country is that of a great rolling -
plain, covered with short • grass,
sedge, saxifrages and other flow-
ering plants.`," There are outcrops
of the underlying Laurentian rock
and here lichens take the place of
grass. Along' the banks ef the
streams, spruce and larch of stunt -
"ed grow,th arca found. The ground
is permanently frozen to within a
few inches of the surface arid. dur-
ing -the `warm weather is constant-
ly, wet: • There are many rivers
with numerous small lakes in their
courses. Swarma of mosquitoes
noted statutory grain rates. Spokes-
men for the, prairie government ,
argued. the export grain rates were
outside the scope of the Commis-
sion. The fight was on, even be-,
fore the Royal Commission had got
around to' formallY launching its
hearings. The Canadian National
Railways agreed avitla the CPR that
the inquirY should cover the Crow's
Nest Pass rates. "Not an," western'
-provincial representatives einphat,
ically declared. '
