Those of us who, mercifully, have not learned from grim ex­ perience may well ’ Since my last broadcast, Parliament has made some progress. Not as much as some of us would like, but at any rate we are getting along. A week or two ago we had a very Interesting discussion in the House of Commons, on the subject of grants in aid of education. The discussion was introduced in a motion by Mr. Roy Knight, pf Saskatoon, asking the gov­ ernment to take steps to relieve the financial crisis in education, without enroaching in any way on the juris­ diction of the provinces, by granting financial assistance to the provinces for the expansion and equalization of educational opportunity across Can­ ada. The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Mr. Plckersgill, under­ took to answer for the Government, He said he was opposing the Bill, but he did not want to be represented as opposed to many of the objectives of the Bill. The Minister went on to point out some of the difficulties in con­ nection with the Bill from a Federal standpoint, but ended up by not being too sure himself of what he was try­ ing to explain. To make a long story short, the Bill was “talked out”. That means we won’t hear any more about it for at least another year. Bill No. 3,. an Act respecting the construction, operation and mainten­ ance of international river improve­ ments, has caused considerable debate in the House, I am going to tell you about it The Columbia River flows through British Columbia and down into the United States, The Kaiser Fraser in­ terests are erecting a huge aluminum plant south of the American border. For this they Use power developed from the Columbia River in the Unit­ ed States. The Social Credit Govern- ment of British Columbia has given the Kaiser people permission to build a huge storage dam ip British Col- umbita. In exchange, the Kaiser Fras­ er interests will pay the British Col­ umbia. Government a million dollars a year rental, and also hold available for British Columbia consumers, 20% of the electrical energy developed by the Kaiser Fraser interests in the United States. At first glance this would appear to be a very advantageous arrangement for British Columbia. However, for the past five years the Canadian Govern­ ment has been conducting surveys on the Columbia River. It forsees a time When the Columbia River will be one great source of power for Western Canada and Western United States. The Columbia River is the fourth largest in North America, and the power potential on the Columbia in Canada will be four times larger than the total power potential of the St. Lawrence River when it has been fully utilized.

HAMILTON, OPTOMETRIST “A Complete Visual Analysis” This Bill is designed to stop the British Columbia Government from entering into this contract with the Kaiser Fraser interests. On the other hand,* British Columbia has informed Ottawa it is none of their business, and that they are < proceeding with the contract. This doesn’t tend to im­ prove Dominion Provincial relations between a number of the provinces, which are not by any means perfect now.

These Boards will have power to license the farmer so-that only those who hold a license will be allowed to sell any crops of the class or kind controlled by the Board. You # will hear about all the benefits to be derived. What they won’t tell you is the power they will have over you “over your production” and so on. You have heard of com­ bines in restraint of trade. Well com­ bines are against the law and punish­ able. What difference is a combine in restraint of trade than a proposed board to control the sale and produc­ tion of food. If farmers are wise they will carefully examine these propos­ als. Supply and demand are two strong contenders in any controls. In years gone by, farmers have never been a privileged class and, speaking for myself, I am not sure that we ever want to be. We have a sense of pride. The, Canadian farmers values their own. independence. We insist on the right to stand on our own feet. We won’t surrender any of our basic rights for all we can gain by special privileges. What we want most is that the more intelligent of our. youth stay on our farms developing themselves through constructive competition for the betterment of farm people. These self-reliant young folk can and will employ science and intelligence to increase their rewards by better pro­ duction and greater co-operation, building a life of improved environ­ ment envied by people from every walk of life. Intelligence will earn the unequalled reward of farm life. ■Let us live it to the full. Daily newspaper circulation in the United States set an all-time record in 1954, the 87th edition of N. W.
