L. B. Pearson Rightly Concerned
With Welfare Society, Not State

dd

In his at the tion of
Bishop’s College, Lester B. Pearson, leader
“of Canada’s Liberal party, had some timely
and important things to say about the dan-
gers of the steadily growing powers of the
government. Says Mr. Pearson, “A state

which ly org: and regulat
its citizens even for beneficial purposes will
find that with the small men who may ev-
entually predominate no great things can
be done.”

Mr. Pearson rightly deplores the fact
that so many Canadians appear to be al-
most exclusively concerned with the wel-
fare state. It would be better, he says, if
people thought “less about the welfare state
and more about the welfare society, which
_is a broader and better concept.”

The Liberal party leader’s definition
of the welfare society makes a lot of.sense.

welfare society turn to other levels of gov-
ernnient, provincial and federal, for fur-
ther steps that are required.”

If Mr. Pearson makes such views the

-‘basis of Liberal party policy he will be

warmly supported by the people of Canada.
It is a long time since a major political
leader in this country has spoken out so
frankly about the importance of the indiv-
idual and the threat to personal freedom
inherent in the growth of Big Government.
The welfare society, as Mr. Pearson sees it,
recognizes “‘the satisfaction and enjoyment
that comes from honest and hard work.”

Those Ferry Sheds

The last of the provincial department

In it, says Mr. Pearson, “all r ibility
is not delegated to the government. In it,
there is the r ibility of the imlividual
to make provision for his own security to
the best of his ability. But he also accepts
his share of Social‘ responsibility in the com-
munity. Only after the local community dis-
charges its own responsibilities should the

Cash or Credit

A hotel chain is sending out credit
cards makes the boast that this card is the
“best assurance of your credit rating.”

There is a _ceretain amount of arro-
gance in such a claim, The best evidence of
a high credit standing is a record of hav-
ing paid one’s bills promptly, perhaps even
not very, promptly, over the years.

On the other hand, there is an auhen-
‘tic case of a relieving manager of a Can-
‘adian bank who apologized to a customer of
30 years’ standing that a loan could not be
granted automatically because there was no
record of a loan having been made over
the past 20 years.

The idea nowadays seems to be that a
person who pays cash is either a dolt or a
bankrupt. . — Rossland Miner

The area formerly occupied by. the

Overwidth Permit Rates
Dear Sir:
Tf any product, service or

ed in cost by 5,000 per cent whar
would you say or do?

If the item was not a neces-
sity the best attack would be to
Jaugh it off as ridiculous and’ igs
nore it. If it is a vital’ service
charge that cannot be ignored, |.
what can we do?

‘The new provincial transport
department ‘recently set, up» by
the B.C, legisiature has dgmand:
ed that the overwidth permit
rate for truckers be increased
from a Hat $2 fee to haul through
B.C, to $10 (and up) for: every
hundred miles,

“This means that to haul’ a
10-foot wide mobile home: from
Vancouver to Fort Nelson, the
previous $2 fee will increase to
$100. This is a iene of 5,060 per
cent.
Alberta and” Saskatchewan
have no overwidth permit charge
and across. the ‘Northern States
the highest is only $100 to cross
an entire state,

Any other agency, group or
whatever that dared to attempt
an increase such as: this: would}
be laughed at or stopped, but|':
how do we stop the government?
The Vancouver Sum printed
