Hospital Insurance a Necessary Reform

1 ts of the population accept it. It has

. Former Premier Byron I.
of British Columbia, dead at 78, may be
regarded as one of the “fathers” of hos-
pital insurance in Canada. The Liberal-
Conservative Coalition Government which
he headed brought in one of the first hos-
pital insurance schemes in Canada.

This was not the work of a “social-

ist” government. It is a reminder that
most social reforms (or even socializations
such as the CNR, TCA, and Ontario Hy-
dro) ‘have been jnaugurated in- Canada
by the, old established parties.

There was, however, another factor
when the system was made effective in
1947 in British Columbia. The CCF then
was a real threat and the coalition had
been achieved to head it off. One reason
for hospital insurance then was to offset
the appeal of the CCF. Mr. Johnson per-
sonally believed in it, as he was a liberal
Liberal.

His death, and his association with
hospital insurance, illustrates a signifi-
cant fact. That is, how quickly an advis-
able reform is accepted.

Back in 1947 hospital insurance was
regarded by many as a radical develop-

ment. Now even the most. conservative .

proved a tremendous ae to millions,
Any who suggested it be abolished would
be regarded as mentally unbalanced.

This is the history of such reforms.
Old age pensions, unemployment -insur-
-ance, family allowances, etc., all quickly
proved their merits. Medical insurance
will do so likewise when it becomes oper-
ative in Ontario. Once the preliminary
furor abates, reforms soon become
commonplace.

There is the continuing argument that
hospital insurance costs keep rising but
it is a fallacious one. ‘It ignores the fact
hospital costs would have risen even had
there been no insurance.

It is not a case of the rising costs
being due to a public insurance system.
One has but to cite the increases in pri-
vate medical insurance rates — or the
privately operated automobile insurance
rates — to prove this point::

Hospital insurance has permitted all
who need hospital treatment to get it. And
none now is Jaden with huge bills which
once were such a burden to so many fam-
ilies. Mr. Johnson was on the right track
back. in 1947. — The Windsor Star ©

Economics of Domestic Woter Pollution

There is no community between Trail
and Grand Coulee relying on the Colum-
bia River for domestic water, and. the
industrial and other pollution of the Co-
lumbia at Trail.is not. at present bother-
ing anyone in the United States.

That statement was made to us Tues-
day by the State of weshinston pollution

from Soler Mr. Bugene Asselstine,

E.

tion. A $200,000 investment in the inter-
ests of improving the fisheries resource
in the Pend-d’Oreille might well mean
the end of Remac production. :

At present, nobody fishes the Pend-
d’Oreille. They might do some day.

At present, nobody between Trail and: -

Grand Coulee uses Columbia River water.
They might do some day.
There is a useful analogy here.
_ghere is no hed aoe to the

connection’ with a survey. the ‘Fisheries
division of the B.C. Fish and Game Bran-
ch has been making of pollution in the
Pend-d’Oreille.

The Pend-d’Oreille, of course, is pol-
luted by tailings from the Remac mine,
but the greatest’ pollution of all is attri-
butable to the operations of two mines
owned by the game company and located
upstream in the United States.

The provision of tailings ponds, simi-
lar to that at Canex on the Salmo and
sufficient to handle wastes from the three
mines, apparently would cost in the order
of $600,000; and the engineers and bio-
logists now are trying to relate the econo-
mics of the situation to an alleviation of
the damage that is being done.

There is, of course, no ready solu-

Defence Cuts Are a

The decision of the dominion gov-
ernment to trim defence spending by more
than $50 million a year should find ready
acceptance everywhere.

The cut in spending is in line with

million dolar investment in the interests
of improving water which, nobody: uses
now would put up the mill rate so high
that nobody could afford to live in the
city.

It is inevitable, of course, that..there
will be a hue and cry for control of Pend-
d’Oreille pollution as the population in-
creases and. pressure upon recreation Te-
sources grows in proportion.

It is inevitable that in years to come!
Columbia pollution will have to cease.

But neither objective. will be reached

haps it is not.

In any event, there is no doubt that
the closing of the various military estab-
lishments outlined in last week’s © an-
ts is long overdue and repre-

the r ions of the Gl royal
commission and makes sense.

People had been wondering for some
time if the government would ever get
around to implementing a few of the com-
mission’s findings and make savings
wherever possible.

At last week’s dominion-provincial
conference, the emphasis was virtually
entirely placed upon spending. Every pro-
vince wanted more of the taxpayer’s ‘mon-
ey for its own purposes.

Nobody seemed to give a thought a-
bout reducing government expenditures.

Perhaps it is possible in an expandi

ection. ~

It may be, however, that Joverament
should not go teo far in disturbing the
