GOD SAVE THE QUEEN The Emperor’s Clothes OTTAWA â€"- Finance Minister Donald Fleming clothed himself in virtue when he brought down his budget for the current year in the House of Commons late last month. Producing what he hopes is his first tiny surplus after three years of deficits totalling over $1 billion, Mr. Fleming sought to convey the idea that the Federal Government was only bringing to fruition long and carefully o‘eâ€" veloped policies. The forecast surplus of $12,- 000,000 was not something that had just happened. he said. “It is the result of considered aims and efforts." Well in part that is true. For two years of the three it has been in office the present Gov- ernment no doubt has pondered long and deeply how it could get He was 10 years old, and. for 10 years he had lived in a refugee camp because there he was born. In fact, he had known a number of camps â€" four. to be exact. For the past three and a half years little Janos had been liv- ing in the camp at Latina, south of Rome on the road to Naples. Janos and his mother shared a room at the camp. His father had died five years before. Three years after her husband’s death, Janos’ mother first thought of emigrating to a new country. She spoke with the officials from the camp, the voluntary agencies. and the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees. But time went by, and Janos grew from. a baby into a fine, big boy. He was a quiet and sensitive child. who never complained. Like so many other children who lived in refugee camps, he had learned to adjust himself to many limitaions. Anything Better Than Hell Camps “mu, w... v“: a sponsor had been found. She and her son would soon be able to leave the camp. As her eyes opened wide. almost in disbelief, the UN man told her that they were going-to the United States, where there would be a home for her and Janos, and also a job. But, there wasn’t much time. She and Janos would be leaving in five days with other refugees on a specially chartered plane. After more than 10 long years in refuâ€" gee camps. this promise of a new life was almost too much to bear. _._ ..., __, One day Janos’ mother was called to the camp office, where the UN representative told her that, through a voluntary agency, Au.» u..u ..-...-_v W, Janos’ mother hurried to tell her son the wonderful news but, when she did, she was bewilder- ed by Janos’ reaction. “It is a very long way from here," he said. “Will we like it there, mo- ther? Everything is so different." Janos' mother couldn’t quite rea- lize that even a child, after an entire lifetime spent in refugee camps, might have defensively retreated from harsh reality into resignation. I yuAD.... On the morning Janos and his mother were to leave, a camp of- ficial asked the boy, “do you know what today is, Janos?" “Yes, it is my birthday," Janos said. “Today I am 10.” “Your birthday! Why, you should have a party." With a pathetic shrug Janos said. “I’ve never had a party." v “A: La- .._.. r .......

When the plane was several hours in the air the UN official accompany- ing the group asked Janos, “Do you know what day this is?" “Yes. it is my birthday.” The UN man gave a signal and a smil- ing stewardess walked down the aisle. with her hands held high. She was carrying a small birth- day cake with barely room for 10 lighted candles. At 15,000 feet over the Atlan- tic. for the first time in his life, Janos had a birthday party. The voices that sang “Happy Birth- day" came forth in a half-dozen languages. It made no difference, for Janos understood. He, who had been born in a refugee camp, was experiencing the birth of a new life and its unlimited hap- piness. r - ,4...‘ -1: m - -n--:-v-«.‘ . MacDuff Ottawa Report out of the trouble it got itself into with its first budget. It will be recalled that in Nov- ember of 1957 Mr. Fleming brought down a “baby budget" which sharply reduced taxes and increased federal expenditures, particularly those for social wel- fare. Those changes, when they were passed along to the 1958- 1959 budget ,together with the revenue drop caused by the re- cession, resulted in a real deficit of over $800,000,000. Last year they were responsible for 3 def- icit of over $400,000,000 even though Mr. Fleming was forced to not only restore the tax cuts but add to them. Since that famous baby budget of 1957 members of the Federal Government have sought to ra- tionalize their policy by contend- ing it was part of a long-sighted plan aimed at meeting the 1m- pending recession of 1958. The fact is that the winter of 1957-1958 the Government would not for one minute admit the country was already heading into recession, nor did it suggest taxes were being decreased or federal expenditures increased for that season. In keeping with a time-honour- ed tradition, it was quite simply preparing the way for the next, federal election it knew was a- round the corner. Ill-considered policies that were never really designed to meet recession led to a severe loss of confidence in the Govern- ment among investors and vir- tually forced the Bank of Can- ada to print all the money need- ed by the treasury to cover the heavy drain in 1958-1959. This in turn added to public 4,200,000 ONTARIO RESIDENTS, IN GROUPS, are now in- sured . . . 26,000 business firms and other organizations are cooperating to make these benefits available to their em- ployees and members 1,200,000 RESIDENTS, NOT IN GROUPS, are insured through premiums paid directly to the Commission. 100,000 MUNICIPAL WELFARE RECIPIENTS are also covered fior hospital care. $158,000,000 WAS PAID IN 1959, through the Commission, for standard ward hospital care received by insured residents. EVERY MONTH LAST YEAR, MORE THAN 80,000 PATIENTS received hospital benefits under their Oritario Hospital Insur- ance Certificates. These benefits covered cases ranging from minor emergency treatments to long-term illnesses costing several thousands of dollars. 8,000 ONTARIO RESIDENTS RECEIVED BENEFITS for hospi- tal care while outside the Province. MORE HOSPITAL BEDS IN ONTARIO Communities, hospitals and the Commission are working together, assisted by Provincial and Federal grants, to meet WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN TO YOU? TODAY, MORE THAN 51/2 MILLION RESIDENTS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO ARE COVERED BY ONTARIO HOSPITAL INSURANCE lt means many things. But, to you as an insured person, prob- ably the most important is the fact that hospital expense is no longer an obstacle when your doctor recommends hospital care for you or your dependants. This means greater peace of mind for all concerned. the need for more hospital accommodation in a growing Ontario. In 1959., 2,000 new beds were added; accommoda- tion for 3,000 beds was under construction and facilities for 3,500 more beds were in advanced planning stage; THIS MEANS THAT 93% OF THE POPULATION Now HAVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST THE COST OF NECESSARY HOSPITAL CARE concern, which reached its peak in the middle of last year when interest rates climbed to peaks that had not been known since the depression days. Now that crisis seems over and Mr. Fleming has safely made shore. But there are new storms gathering on the horizon which the Government seems no more ready to meet than the last. de- spite the warnings posted up and down the coast by others. Ever since November, James Coyne Governor of the Bank of Canada has been sounding the alarm from the housetops over Canada's continued spending spree that has led to “chronic' deficits with the rest of the world. Mr. Coyne has called on the Government to take the lead m inducing Canadians to save more of their own wealth for invest- ment in their own land and to spend less both in Canada and abroad on luxuries that are be- yond their means. Mr. Fleming. trying to ride two horses at once totally rejected the idea that heavy deficits a- broad posed any danger for the nation and at the same time in- dulged in a litle sermon about “efficiency. productivity and thrift.” There was no leadership here. .. Canadianisi "gener‘ally - erijoyed last year in what he thought was reflected glorY- ,, __ . He paused hardly at all to con- sider the dark cloud lurking in the distance. That was unemploy- ment which at a time when the economy was climbing to new heights stood just under the post- war high hit during the depths of the 1958 recession. Mr. Fleming had no explana- tion why the number without work should be so high at a time of such prosperity . only hope that the problem would go The-'Minister dwelt at length on the unbounded prosperity thay away. _ Capnal HI“ Capsules The Unemployment Insurance Fund, which the Government thought it had bailed out last year is still in trouble. By the end of March it .vaa down to $384,000,000. a decline of $125,000,000, from a year ago and threatening to go another $60,000,000 lower before the Do:- tom was reached this year. “118 is in contrast to the $927,000,000 that was in the fund as of De- cember, 1956. When it brought in a 30 per cent increase in contribution rates last fall. the Government hoped that it had halted the drain on the fund, but there is no indication this has happened yet. The old three-yea-r treaty ex- pired in February of 1959 and the Soviet Union has steadfastly refused to renew it under the old conditions that worked heav- ily in Canada’s favour. The pre- vious agreement required Russia to buy some $20,000,000 worth of wheat a year from Canada. im- posed no ohligation on this coun- The basic assumption behind the change was that the fiveâ€"year average level of employment up to March, 1958. of four per cent would prevail and thus make it possible for the Fund to be brought into balance. But unemployment over the past two years has been running well over that‘ rate. For the whole of 1958 it averaged 6.6 per cent. Last year it was down to 5.6 per cent. but in the first two months of this year unemploy- ment was nearly up to the 1958 levels. At that rate the Fund is bound to need a new injection of funds before long. The Federal Government has sent a trade mision to Moscow in an effort to wind up the year- old negotiations over renewal of the Canadian-Russian trade a- greement. try to buy anything in return Russia has been insisting that under any new agreement it should be required to buy no more than twice as much from Canada as Canada buys from her. It looks as if the Kremlin has won its point.
