Canada's military capabilities are infinitely above that of 3% years ago in almost every area of activity. And he also noted that savings in defense spending have exceeded $100 million per year, Thesé ach- jevements should merit commenda- tion for his work in an important cabinet position, instead there's a risk of criticism of his actions in another sphere clouding the more pertinent accomplishment. Sections of a brief prepared by Admiral Landymore for presenta- tion to the Commons Defense Com- mittee last year were deleted and others altered by Mr. Hellyer's de- partment. At first glance such steps might be construed as a de- nial of the public's right to know. Yet, in keeping with his responsi- bilities as defense minister, Mr. Hellyer has exercised sound judg- ment in this respect, too. It must be recognized that both the standing committee of defense to discuss current and future policy broadened the field of inquiry and the range of testimony by serving officers. Nevertheless he has main- tained throughout the vital princi- ple that the minister of defense must have sole discretion over what material his serving officera nre- sent. The dictum is sound. If every serving officer were given carte blanche to support or decry govern- ment policy a chaotic situation could quickly be created in a highly critical area of Canadian affairs, To support his stand, Mr. Hellyer quoted constitutional authorities stating, "... minister must remain responsible for his department, He cannot abdicate that responsibility to a civil servant or serving officer. To do so would destroy the fabric of our parliamentary democracy". The manner in which the contro- versy has mushroomed indicates not that Mr. Hellyer has overstepped his bounds but that Opposition members still have greater enthus- siasm for the play of partisan opli- tics than they do for their tradi. tional role as constant watchdog over Canadian affairs. The Planchette Probe A campaign is under way in On- tario to alert us to watch for coun- terfeit money. Last year some $1 million in counterfeit money was produced by criminals in Canada and the frequency with which such bills are being passed in Toronto and its environs is causing consider- able concern. The Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice has published a booklet entitled "The Counterfeit Detector' to as- sist us in spotting the bogus bills. It says that even the most decep- tive notes can be detected. The ad- vice offered is that the suspected bill be compared with one known to be genuine.

The counterfeit- ed ones cannot be picked off like the genuine ones, This all seems quite straightfor- ward on paper, at least, But what happens when we're confronted with a counterfeiter? The police state specifically that a suspected note should not be returned to the passer. Rather he or she should be delayed while a constable is called to begin an official investigation. To recommend such a routine po- lice must have found counterfeiters to be cool customers indeed. They attempt to pass the bill, wait pati- ently while we probe the plan- chettes, then at our request delay their departure further while we endeavor to summon the gendarm- es. It's hardly possible they'd be so accommodating. About the best we can hope to do is spot the bill, report to the police and then leave it to them to "get their man". Other Editors' Views NOT SAYING MUCH The very popular political per- sonality in the United States, Rob- ert Kennedy, has made it plain that he will not run for president or vice-president in 1968 "under any foreseeable circumstances." 'But, of course, he is not saying anything very much, because no one can foresee the "circumstances" two years from now. ~~-Montreal Gazette The question: "When uniows strike a plant, should be done about the picket line -- should what do you think it be restricted to union members in that plant only, or should members of sympathetic unions join if they wish to?

In September, 1961, a sudden increase of 15,000 officers and men in our army, navy and air force was authorized--at a time when unemployment 1oomed larger than a minor Berlin crisis, The following year, our economic crisis prompted a re- duction, In 1964, 500 pilots were retired from the air force. The case of those 500 pilots has been quoted by critics, in- cluding a former chief of staff, as involving a deplorable waste of the taxpayer's money. It costs $250,000 to train a jet fighter pilot today, or perhaps even as much as $330,000--the calculation depending upon the accounting methods selected to write off the capital cost of training aircraft and airfields, and the cost of training flying instructors. Even at the lower figure, the sudden retirement of over 500 pilots was claimed to represent a discard of $125,000,000 spent on their treining. This huge sum represents $25 in taxes to every Canadian family-an ex- pensive mistake at a time when a parliamentary committee is enquiring into such items as a two-cent rise in the price of a quart of milk, THIS IS THE TRUTH But the inside story of the 500 pilots is not what it has been alleged to be. It originates with that crash expansion program in the fall of 1961, an expansion which many critics believed to be dic- POINTED PARAGRAPHS One of the most deplorable things about wars fs that, by and large, the wrong people get killed in them. "Driving a car is a privilege, not a right," says a judge. Few privileges are so widely and flagrantly abused. Overheard; "My husband has an excellent memory, with the exception that now and then he forgets he's married," MOTORBIKES WORKHORSES IN NORTH tt ett: eas eee a tated more by high unemploy- ment figures than by national security. Only the air. force succeeded in filling that expansion quota, and it achieved this although it lacked sufficient planes to ab- sorb the new intake of trainee pilots, There were thus soon some 500 surplus officers, nearly all pilots or navigators. In 1964, the process of inte- gration of the command struc- ture of the three services elimi- nated much waste of man- power, such as the multiplicity of tri-service committees at headquarters. Many officers were retired as redundant, un- der the "golden _ bowler" scheme, being offered an at- tractive bonus to accept prema- ture retirement. As part of this scheme, 512 air force officers were retired. But these were not all newly- trained young jet pilots, as had been suggested. NEAR END OF ROAD After detailed enquiries at national defence headquarters, I have been able to reconstruct the complete picture. This shows that 284 pilots were re- tired, 202 navigators, and 26 traffic control officers. Without sufficient planes to employ them, many of these officers had to be occupied in make- work jobs, such as assistant adjutant or assistant public re- lations officer, Included were 195 officer pi- lots with regular (lifetime) commissions, But 31 of these were past retirement age, not one was younger than 43, and only one had attained the rank of squadron leader. Thus the whole lot would probably have been retired within two years under normal conditions, and they were all over the normal age for a combat jet pilot. Eighty-nine of the pilots had short service commissions, namely for 'five, six or seven years. These included young pilots who still had effective years of combat flying service ahead, and it was in this small group that wastage might be alleged. Many of them later obtained employment as pilots with civil air lines in the United States. The navigators included 40 regular and 162 short-service commission officers. When the picture is thus an- alysed, it is clear that the headlined story of the Five Hundred Plilots did not involve the taxpayers of Canada in a loss anywhere near the re- ported figure of $125,000,000, Hii mr ., } ANOTHER BOOM AWAITED Frobisher Suspended Between Glories RP N VIET NAM <F MANILA ROPE litically dangerous as espous- In free booze for kindergar- ens, sf Certainly it isn't likely that anyone here will rush in to follow through for the trustees, .

(CP)-- The Honde-ond-Yanata, iigit- weight Japanese motorcycles, now are among the workhorses of Canada's Far North--the bar- ren lands where the silence was once disturbed only by howling huskies. Another sign of the times in this centre for federal govern- ment administration of the Eastern Arctic is the annual paint-up, clean-up campaign. It has all but obliterated memor- ies of the days when Eskimos lived in huts constructed of old Coca-Cola signs and lead-lined tea chests. Modern Frobisher hangs sus- pended somewhere between the glories that might have been-- as a major stopover point for trans-polar flights --and the glories that might still come if private industry can find any sort of economic base to estab- lish itself here. Fifteen years ago Frobisher was a jointly-occupied U.S.-Ca- nadian defence communications and weather-reporting outpost, and it was only with strong Ca- nadian argument that the old Red Ensign flew beside the Stars and Stripes. The whites lived in square, sparse, pre-fab row houses hud- died beside the airstrip, and the Eskimos lived several hundred yards away on the water's edge in whatever they couid scz 2 in_the way --of building rials FEW DOGS LEFT The Eskimo settlement was, to outsiders, picturesque if noth- ing better. Blood-red sea trout with their silver skins glistening in the sun hung like socks on a clothesline to dry--sometimes intermingled, in fact, with socks, diapers, and perhaps a sealskin or two on stretchers. Up the hill, the sled dogs were chained out of harm's way. Late on a summer's night, with the sun barely below the horizon and a twilight glow pre- vailing through the night, a dog might howl, setting off a chorus of spine-tingling wails that dis- turbed sleep for miles around, echoing through the barren hills. Today only a few dogs, mostly of the police dog variety, are to be seen among the modern, well-painted bungalows occu- ped by the Eskimos who make up about half the 1,500 popula- tion of Frobisher, largest com- munity in the Eastern Arctic. The streets hum to the sounds of cars, trucks, buses and motor-bikes Rev. Guy Rougseliere, Oblate priest who was born in Paris, studied anthropology at -- the University of Montreal, and has worked with the Eskimos since 1944, saya the passing of the huskies "isa real "loss to the Eskimo way of life. CAN'T EAT JEEP The dogs are still used in Es- kimo settlements away from white man's civilization, of course, but Eskimos here and in such places as Tuktoyaktuk , and Inuvik in the Western Arc- ' tic now are using snowmo- biles, jeeps and the like. Father Rousseliere says that when a man gets lost in a storm with a gasoline vehicle, he can't turn to it as food as he could if lost with a dog. He knows cases of lost Eskimos starving to death beside their vehicles. Frobisher had a twin boom and now is waiting for another. It promised to be an important refuelling stop on the trans- polar route from the west coast of Canada and the United States to Europe for passenger airlin- ers, and the USAF moved its Strategic Air Command in here with a multi-million-dollar re- fuelling base for SAC bombers. \ But development of the long- range jet killed Frobisher's chances of becoming an avia- tion centre of the world, and SAC pulled out in 1963 leaving virtually everything behind but prosperity. Now, as Resources Minister Laing sald during his recent visit with members of the Eco- nomic Council of Canada, Fro- bisher's only resource is. the federal government's pay cheques and welfare allow- ances. About the only self-em- ployed private enterpriser in town is the man who runs the barber shop, The same is true in Inuvik, the model town built by the government near the mouth of the Mackenzie River in the Western Arctic. There, even the laundry and dry cleaning serv- ice are owned and operated by the federal government. But Mr. Laing says Frobisher might become alive, and viable again as an economic unit, if some resource can be found on which to build it through pri- vate enterprise. What that might be, neither he nor anyone else is able to say yet Mineral resources abound in the North but so far they haven't been found locally, The town has a powerful new elec- tricity. and steam heat plant capable of supplying a larger community, and a model hospi- tal, an excellent federal build- ing left behind by the SAC, and plenty of housing for both whites and eskimos All it's waiting for is a reason to exist. CANADA'S STORY ee Key To Montreal Lost [ey By BOB BOWMAN V-ED., Nov. 2 Canada was nearly captured by the United States early in the American revolutionary war. On Nov, 2, 1775, the fort of St. Jean (now St. John's, Que.) on the Richelieu River was cap- tured by General Montgomery. Ten days later General Bene- dict Arnold, who had marched an army across the wilds of Maine, was besieging Que- bec. Fortunately, communica- tions were so slow that neither Montreal nor Quebec knew what was happening to each other, or morale might have crumpled completely. The fort at St. Jean was the key to Montreal. Once it fell there was nothing to stop Mont- gomery from marching into Montreal, Sir Guy Carleton, commander of the_ British troops in Canada, knew this, and wisely escaped down the river to defend Quebec, the capital. St, Jean was. not captured easily. It was defended by Major Charles Preston who had 600 British regulars, a platoon of Scottish Loyalists, and 90 Canadian militia under Captain de Belestre. The fort held out all through September and Oc- tober until the capture of Cham- bly further down the river made its position hopeless. Carleton was in Montreal try- ing. to raise a force strong enough to relieve $t. Jean, but the militia was comprised of farmers who wanted to return to their homes to bring in their crops, and most of them de- serted, One of the scigneurs, Saint- Luc de la Corne, was support- TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov, 2, 1966...

For the next four years Lettow-Vorbeck pur- sued guerrilla war inst antay enter ing the Americans secretly and urged his men not to answer the call to arms, One small militia force under Simon Sanguinet of Montreal tried to cross the St, Lawrence and attack the Americans but was driven back, On. Nov, 13, the Americans marched through the streets of Montreal to Place d'Armes while most of the 9,000 inhabitants watched, General Montgomery pro- claimed that he had come to give liberty and security to the province of Quebec, The Con- gressistes (Canadians who sup- ported the American cause) were jubilant and replied through a spokesman "our hearts have always desired union and receive the troops of union as our own men." Montgomery had been in Wolfe's army at the capture of Quebec in 1759, as had Sir Guy Carleton.

Squads of kerchiefed Young Pioneers--like the Brownies in Canada but more ideologically directed, as a group--file from one point of interest to another, dutifully following their leader. The parade includes Poles and other East Europeans, Cau- casians, Uzbeks, Mongolians and other Eastern peoples, Afri- cans in an assortment of color- ful. robes, camera-toting West- ern tourists, For the children, a favorite point of interest is the so-called Czar Bell, a 200-ton creation built in the 18th century for the bell tower of Ivan the Terrible. It sits on a cement platform and has a gaping hole in one side, suitable as a backdrop for children nimble enough to mount the platform to have their pictures taken, Another sure-fire attraction for the young is a 16th century artillery piece with a 40-ton barrel, Cannon balls weighing 2,200 pounds each are piled up below the moutl? of the barrel, making a handy stepping stone for boys curious to know what the great ponderous barre! looks like inside. In the stream of pedestrian traffic moving to and from the 17th century Spassky Tower, principle gateway between the Kremlin grounds and Red Square, three little country girls in pigtails discuss whether to go to a movie or get in line for a look at the corpse in Lenin's mausoleum, At one corner of Red Square, from the steps of the U.S.S.R History Museum, an announcer using .a hand-speaker adver. tises official guided tours: . 80 kopeks for the Kremlin and city; 30 kopeks for the Kremlin by itself. He sounds remarkably like a carnival barker in Canada: "On this tour you can see the Krem- lin, then take a boat trip on the Moscow River, From the boat you will see Lenin Stadium, Novodevichy Convent, the Lenin Hills,"' For any sex teaching can sound offensive, And the sound in itself would be enough to cause a public furore. And politicians avoid furores if at all possible. The school trustees, of course, haven't, But at least they are partially passing the buck. Their action will please those people who are crusading for sex education, And the stigma for any action would be on the province. FOOD FUTURE Perhaps the most pertinent bit of information that came out of the recent conference on agriculture was an analysis by Dr. H. L. Patterson of the de- partment of agriculture, Dr. Patterson brought out that while Canada is aires | lots of food it is falling behi in proteins--meat, milk, eggs. There is plenty of farm capa- city in the country, But the problem is to channel it into the right products, Whether this can be done is the main food problem of the future. Not even Russia wil complete state control has hai success with it.
