Too Much Political Vinegar

The sulphurous fumes from the slang-
ing match between Attorney-General Bon-
ned and Mayor Alsbury could probably be
cleared away if the mayor would say defi-
nitely whether he intends to run in Mr.
Bonner’s riding in the next provincial
election.

On December 23 last, the mayor an-
nounced he would consider running as an
independent in the election unless Pre-
mier Bennett announced a “new deal” for
municipalities. He was thinking of placing
his name ‘hefore the electors of Vancouver-
Point Grey.

Mayor Alsbury has every right, as an
individual, to seek a seat in the Legisla-
ture. But to use. his mayoralty as a pos-
sible spri ‘d into pr jal politics
does a distinct disservice to the city.

The mayor’s attacks on the govern-
ment, and the reasons his worship offers
for them, probably would be accepted at
face value if Mr. Alsbury had carefully

avoided any involvement in provincial. po-
litics.

As it is, the public is left wondering
how much of the charges is inspired by
political considerations. We suspect the
mayor has justifications for his complaints
but as‘long as he is an incipient provincial
candidate the whole argument has political
overtones.

Further, when the mayor is carrying
on a long-range vendetta_with the pre-
mier and the attorney-general he is hardly
in a very good position to negotiate for

If the » mayor is going to run in the
provincial election he should make no more
bones about it. If he isn’t he should say
so just as clearly and definitely. He might
then find he could do business with the
government on a much more reasonable
basis.

Too Big for Taxpayers to Feed

Contemplating the currerit CBC bud-
get—forecasting the need for a parliament-
ary grant of $62,085, 000 to balance the
books—the taxpayers can understand the
feelings of Job when he said: “The thing
which I greatly feared is come upon me.”

In 15 years the CBC has grown from
a modest little tug at the taxpayers’ purse-

strings to a fiscal monster with an insati-
able appetite for subsidization.
: During the fiscal year ending March
$1, 1945, CBC had a net operating deficit
of $72,747, a sum of money which few tax-
payers thought about, although they real-
ized that it was in addition to the radio
licence fees they were paying at that time.

By 1954-55 a great many taxpayers
were beginning to wonder when CBC’s
taste for larger appropriations from the
treasury would be satisfied. In that fiscal
year the publicity-owned Corporation’ re-
ceived $27,718,947 from the federal gov-
ernment in the form of grants and alloca-
tion of taxes (on gales of radio equipment).

Now the 1960-61. CBC budget looms
more hungrily than ever before a country

that is trying to tighten its belt and bal-,

“ance its budget. Total CBC expenditures
are estimated at $90,598,000. This is exclu-
sive of a capital budget of $7,647,000—all
of it to be met by the federal treasury.

CBC, of course, has revenues. - These
are estimated at $40,118,000. But this is
whittled down to $28, 513,000 after meet-

, ing agency commissions and payments to
U.S. networks and private stations.

The salary budget is $38,481,000 and
fees to artists, speakers and musicians and

The Civil Service

While the population of Canada has grown by 55 per
cent since 1938, the federal civil service has increased by
309 per cent. Project this trend to the next generation
and it becomes clear that Canada will soon be a nation
of civil servants, The few remaining taxpayers in‘ the
next generation will have to work harder and harder to
shoulder this load. It is a rather grim prospect, isn’t it?

King’s. Ransoms

Ottawa demands of labor and agriculture, estimates the
“Organized labor and organized
agriculture both beat a path to Ottawa to lay requests be-

mate of the: costs of implementing them is in the neigh-
jorhood of a billion dollars annually.”

” Looking for something

do with it.

It is evident by now that we can no
longer indulge in the luxury of hoping that
€BC might, by good luck and good man-
agement, contrive to pay most of its own
way. The monster seems incapable of for-
aging for itself in the jungles of competi-
tive commerce and can exist only with li-
beral transfusions of public money..

Further, CBC is growing at a rate that
is almost frightening. When a subsidy of
$72,747 can grow to one of nearly $70,-
600,000 (a thousand times as much) in 15
years, what might the next 15 years bring?
We suppose colored television is the next].

What, ‘then, is to be done?

Only a drastic’remedy can be equal
to this problem and it is simple and direct.
Sell the darned thing. Sell it lock stock and
barrel and get the taxpayers’ out of a ter-
rible exp i before it b
a greater burden on them.

From the keen competition for private
television licences in the cities across Cay
ada it is evident there are a great many
businessmen eager to invest large sums
of money ‘in broadcasting. There’ should
be_ no difficulty in interesting the same
men, or syndicates, in taking over CBC.
Indeed, it is not difficult to visualize. spir-
ited bidding for the corporation and its
assets, even though it was never able to

No longer is the myth of preserving

As far as it goes, this is all to the good.
A continued influx of population from the
U.S. is most welcome. But the fact remains
that immigration from Great Britsin and
most European countries has gone steadily
down in recent years. Ottawa's policy on
the whole: has been restrictive rather than
expansioriist. In order to attain our. poten

. In the CBC we have a magnificent op-
portunity to demonstrate our confidence
in the efficiency and resourcefulness of
free enterprise and to turn over to it a

much more aggressive immigration paney.

ed views of mutual. friends, of-
fige gossip and someone who had
fhad a baby.
Quite a nonchalant type it
seems, this woman who had had
a baby: “She had a plate of cold
turkey and snitched bites of it
between pains,”
Then followed comments on
the more practical aspects of
child bearing: “She didn’t‘ cry

‘They tell you to yell if you “tel

M cried and yelled the whole

e."
. “She would. She:expects ev-

And.on it went in| much ‘the
same vein,
The thing I found interesting
in these two-(both late teens or
early 20's, unmarried) was that
neither ‘had pny ile illusions about

modtiated but jolly fog horn.

“Now can I have the tickets
from all, those good looking peo-
ple who got on here... Oh,
sorry young ‘lady, there are 0

many beautiful girls on this trip
that- I'don’t know ig I have all
their tickets or not,”

Then, easing the bus out.of
the’ station past a parked taxi,
he remarked: with a chuckle:
“It's ‘lucky we both have rubber
fenders." And a little later, after
spinning the wheel madly, and
just ‘squeeking ‘by a rock wall,
boomed ‘gally in answer to some
remark made by one of the two
elderly ladies in the front seat:
“Doesn't worry me oa bit as long
as I have-you girls driving that
side of the bus for. me. Doesn't

And such was the effect of
this .boisterous personality that
there was a general feeling of
gaiety on that bus in which ev-
eryone felt. just’ a little younger,
alittle more beautiful and a lit-
tle more relaxed in such skilled
hands, Such is the power of
words.
