~ and social security system and per- 4 ' i Published by DOMINION-PROVINCIAL CO-OPERATION Now that the election issue has clearly wiped out the old stronghold of independent provincialism, we should be ready for a new attempt at Dominion - Provincial" ~ 'get-together- ness.' ba Mp, Frost, who is head of the Pro- vincial group is noted for his pleasant- ness to opponents and his lack of building on personal animosities as an attempt to increase party power. We badly need a unified taxation haps our chance has come once again to meet with eight or nine other pro- vinces and get to work on a revised schedule which will improve all our relationships, The recent meeting of Prime Min- ister Mr. St. Laurent with Premier Leslie Frost is an encouraging sign in the right direction. We hope that it marks the beginning of a more united Provincial and Dominion re- lationship. Much' of the programme proposed by the federal authorities for the 1946 Dominion-Provincial con- ference needs reviewing and revising under competent hands willing to work toward a goal of co-operation that will net profits for both the pro- vinces, wherever they may lie inciden- tally, and the Dominiof. Special care should be taken to share the burdens and meet the needs of the. outlying provinces as well as those more fortunately "placed." - The old adage, cutting off our nose to spite our face comes to mind and it is. well to remember that we need a 'long range vision here. Ontario is very favourably placed but ultimately she' depends on Canada being a 'unified nation. All her prosperity would pro- + fit her nothing if this larger combina- tion were brkoen. Each family shares with its most helpless member when the need arises. | Nobody leaves the baby to toddle out! alone "if there is a fire. We as a nation can and must apply the same principle to political life. Let us hope for a fresh epportunity to view this; problem from the angle of giving everybody a chance to hang on to the life line. As one old circus manager put it, "What we loses.on the round- abouts, we makes up onthe swings." During the recent election campaign Mr. St. Laurent promised an early Dominion-Provincial conference. PA Mr. Duplessis will not try to hold out against the hand-writing on the wall. Sectionalism is costly and selfish, The Liberal sweep in Quebec will force some~ re-thinking on this score by the leaders of the! province. It must mean that there .is a fair measure of French-speaking Canadian co-operation possible from the rank and file of the people of Quebec. If this is so there should be very little to stop a new conference from getting right down to the proverbial 'brass tacks' and handing us a full sheet of working ideas for g more unified and consequently more powerful Canada. SAMUEL FARMER ESTATE Notes and Comments |Premier and Members of Parliament, THE ONTARIO BOYS' WORK BOARD R Camps -are swinging into action again all across the Frovince. Twenty- two of those camps will be open and thriving because they are promoted by the Ontario Boys' Work Board, which is a very live organization that functions as a subsidiary of the On- tario Religious Education Coungil. | There is also a Girls' Work Board and an Adult and Children's Work Board.
