In-any event to a man they have now sent, their “regrets” at being unable to pay’a visit to Br ‘itish Columbia for the oceasion, That result, in view of the préssures of public office, may be un- derstandable but.it also is to be re-. gretted. Canada needs initiative in the art.of getting together on a person-to- péson basis, and there is no sphere in which this is more desirable than.in the concept of an united people. _ A century ago when British Colum- bia as an impoverished infant colony ane WEY. ‘asks a Live Letter writer, should members of Parliament be allowed to receive their pension of $3,000 a year no matter how long they remain out of the country, or even if they..Jeave.. it permanently, while old age pensioners must remain in Canada er,to receive their pension of At’s 8a 4 good question. 3 An ‘old age pensioner is allowed to doend six months in any calendar year gutside Canada without losing the pen- didnt Let him exceed this limit and he forfeits six months’ pension and the pansion for every. “additional. that he remains out of the country un- tal he returns, This applies no.matter » —___—hew- leng- he-has-resided in Canada; no matter how much he has contributed through taxes; no matter if health or family reasons require him to leave. « No such restrictions apply to the MP 4. BRR ie Defence Department reorganiz- ation bill, passed by Congress after frequently stormy hearings, repre- sents a big step forward even though President Eisenhower did not attain all that he sought. . What is being sought now is a mili- tary establishment so modern, so pow- erful and so efficient that no aggres- sor will be foolish enough to take the steps that would lead to the holocaust of atomic war. If the provisions of the new: bill, are wisely used, President Isisenhower and Secretary of Defence Mcllroy should be able to pursue this goal with less of the waste and serv- ice bickering that have for so long distressed the citizen, ..° pioneers. month - That fine on the western flank of the vast con- tinent joined Confederation it took its courage and faith in its Hands. It heard much about its “sea of moun- tains,” its impregnable passes, the wil- derness and rocky desolation. Today, British Columbia does not have to de- fend itself from the misconceptions of long ago. It has proved up in the phys- ical, social, economic and other facets of national life in a manner far beyond the highest expectations of the sturdy But still. there seems to be some degree of impregnability about _ the Rocky Mountains, although planes cross them day and night in a matter - of minutes. The effect today may be psychological and not physical, but it is certainly to be regretted. B.C.’s cen- tenary should be all Canada’s pride.— The Victoria Colonist. =. Old age pensioners penalized who has been elected three times and paid the contribution of $240 a year up to a maximum of. $4,000. For such MPs, the pension of $3,000 goes on for life whether or not they chose to reside in Canada. When Arthur Maloney (PC, Park- dale) brought up this question of the residential restriction on old age pen- sioners last November, Health Minis- ter Monteith stated in the House that the Government might allow pension- ers to leave Canada permanently with- out forfeit. He referred specifically to pensioners who had lived a large part of their working lives in Canada and who wished: to leave for health or compassionate reasons. Nothing further has been heard on this subject. Since this vitally con- ‘cerns many pensioners, it is to be hop- ed that the Government has the matter under consideration. — The Toronto Telegram. balance The Eisenhower reform program should do much to maintain that fine balance between executive and legis- lative authority which is essential if our armed forces are to devieop the efficient professionalism -— without Prussianism—that is needed today. Civilian responsibility and the means of swiftly delineating it have been made quite plain. It should no longer be so difficult to fit new weapons into the service structures that have been so rigid. The armed forces and the na- tion should now be much better able to obtain maximum results from de- fence dollars. —St, Louis Post-Dispatch, ‘We have long suspected uvat Canadians are the fat boys of the world.
