PAGE FO'LURIWCNDÂ ¶A~~A OMNhL2.OTII HRDY E.2t,15 EDITORIALS The Stakes Were too High! Those of aur readers with an intense isense ai national pride and a sympathetiC attitude toward the plight ai un! ortunate fellowmen must have spent a miserable weekend listening ta the commelitarieS tram >Ottawa. First came the startling announcement by the Prime Minister that the contra- versia1 Avro Arrow projeet was being. scrapped. Apparently, the military ex- perts with a few notable exceptions decid- ed that by the time i! could be braught inta production in 1962 it would bc about as effective i al-out war as the weapon after which it was named. Thtis was followed almost immediately by the shocking news that 14,000 workers had been fired and untold other thousands in feeder.plants would suifer due ta the eut-aif. The radio, television and news- papers were filled with toreboding, e- crimination and critical comment ail week- end. Even the Globe and Mail, long stauncit supporters of the Conservatives, praduced two ultra critical editorials on its front pages. As titis is being written a bitter debate is in progress in the House af Commons an the subject. Most leaders agree with the decision ta scrap the Arrow, but are blasting the Conservative government for casting those thausands o! workers ou! inta the cold, instead o! aranging for alterna- tive work at the Avro plant. t! was the suddenness of the final decision that upset mos! people. We should have been prepared for the decision. There were warnings las! fal that the praject might be abandoned and, indeed, for sevemal years the entire pro- gram has been operating on a -tentative basis. We at The Statesman received in- formation las! week in the MacDuff Otta- via Report that anly a few days remained for the government's final word on the Arrow and the betting was against it. But, 1! was still a joît when the axe feil. Politically, the announcement wvas badly handled and we daub! if the gavern- mient realized the storm which would fol- Jow its courageous decision. Many observ- ers believe the matter would not have heen handled so crudely and abruptly had the government not hadl several years ta ease the pain before iacing an election. Others have expressed grea! surprise that Ontario's Premier Frost, on the eve ai a provincial election, apparently wvas neither consulted nor considered poli!ically. He Inust have been annayed a! this ingrati- tude considering the great assistance he pave Mr. Diefenbaker during his campaign ta gain power. But, it is not the politicians' welfare that concerns us at this time. Rather, it is the defense of Canada. The same Mac- Duff report that warned of the impendin% decision also stated that our army doesn't have the transport required in mobile modern warf are. Its arrmour is ancient. It doesn't have tactical missiles. It needs aircraft. Our navy is still building de- stroyer-escorts designed for convoy duties. It is years behind in nuclear submariries. Its research facilities have failed ta came up with detection devices capable of pick- ing up submarines a! long range. The air force is equipped with aircraft that are destined for the scrap heap in a dis- tressingly short time. In short, aur de- fenses are deplorably weak and out-dated. Because of the tremendous cost involv- cd in developing and manufacturing our own new defense weapons, it appears that we shall now be turning more and more ta the United States for weapons. We may buy guded missiles from them that cost up ta $3.500,000 each and can be used only once. But, neyer again will wve venture on a scheme ta develop our own. It is far too expensive for our limited resources. Some commentators have already sug- gested that i! is time ta forget about the border line between aur countries, we should join aur big and wealthy neighbor ta the south as the f iftieth state o! the union. t! would salve many of aur prob- lems. We would not have ta be running ta Washington continually complaining about f arm give-away programs or threats ta aur national sovereignty involved in parent companies refusing ta allow Canad- ian subsidaries ta sell praducts ta Red China. It might even settie th~e "down stream benefits" wrangle over the Colum- bia River in B.C. Who knows, Washington might listen mare attentively ta a state governar than ta the head of a foreign- thourih friendly power? Certainly, aur new dependent status does something ta aur national pride. We've been beating aur chests that the Twentieth Century belongs ta Canada andi we've been sa sure of aur own might that we've gone ahead and spent money like mad, not jus! on defense but on wel- fare projects vastly mare expensive. The Arrow program cost about $400.000,000, a huge amount ai money wasted in an effort ta produce somnething of aur own that would def end us, in case af attack. The family allowance program is far more expensive than that-for only one year. Now, because of aur lush living we, in the interests ai national solvency, have had ta sacrifice not only aur national prestige but a portion af aur national sovereignty as well. <Remarks by J.

I would hate ta go back ta the situation two years ago wbere parking space wvas impossiblq ta ge! even on Monday and Tuesday, and double-parking wvas the rule and not the excep- tion.
