    A Bill Of Rights

    The introduction of a draft of

    _ Bill of Rights by the Prime Minister
    with the intention of leaving it over.
    + until the next session of Parliament
    1 in which

    is certainly the best way |
    such a measure could have been treat-

    | ed. There will be opportunity for

    study of the measure during the next
    few months. and certainly, in a mat-
    ter of this kind it-is essential to have
    it given full consideration.

    Under our practice, as under that
    of:Parliament at Westminister, there
    is no difference in form between a
    constitutional Bill and normal legis-
    lation. There is no requirement, for
    instance, that a constitutional meas-

    ure have any more than a simple ma- .
    . jority in the House and in the Senate.

    This, coupled with the fact that pro-
    visions of an Act of Parliament can

    be repealed not only explicitly but by

    implication, where subsequent legis-

    lation is at variance with an earlier
    Act, makes a Bill of Rights difficult
    te make effective.

    In other words, what Parliament
    ean do it can undo. a

    This does not mean that a Bill of
    Rights is useless. All the great land-
    marks of British constitutional de-
    velopment are subject to amendment
    or repeal by simple Act of Parlia-
    ment, passed with no more formality
    than an Act respecting the Post Of-
    fice. Nevertheless, Magna Carta, the
    Bill of Rights, the Petition of Right
    and other declarations have exercised

    powerful influence on the attitude |

    and conduct. of legislators through

    - the centuries.,

    It may well be that a Canadian

    Bill of Rights would similarly become
    -entrenched’ in

    Canadian political
    thinking and help to make future gen-
    erations aware of the dangers to
    freedom and readier to oppose any
    measures which would infringe the

    For the very reason that it must
    appeal to sentiment as well as cover
    specific cases it is important that
    drafting should be.of the highest’ or-
    der. No only legislators and lawyers
    should give th3ir comments on the
    Bill, but educators, writers and people
    in every category of Canadian life -

    should give thought to the contents -

    and expression of this Canadian Bill
    ef Rights. oe
    -Resistance To Slogans
    A psychologist attached to the

    gurvey research centre of the Uni:
    versity of Michigan has been doing

    , Bome research into. consumers’: re-:

    action to high pressure salesman-
    ship. His findings are interesting if
    not particularly surprising.

    The study showed that no amount
    ef “‘sloganising”—a fearful word
    meaning the exaggerated use of
    slogans—canh persuade people to: buy
    the things they think they don’t
    need. This, of course, applies to
    people in general; there are indivi-
    duals, plenty of them, who will buy
    anything from anybody, whether
    they need it or not and whether they.
    can afford it or not,

    High interest rates, the study
    showed, “disturb” the average per-
    son. They also have a bad effect on
    business generally. So do large-scale
    campaigns. The survey touched par-
    ticularly on an elaborate “buy now”
    campaign conducted by a group of
    American manufacturers last Spring.
    The, researeher concluded from his
    study that 1% million persons who
    were thinking seriously of buying
    ,some of the products covered by
    the slogan decided not to do so as a
    result of the intensive “ballyhoo”.
    Their reaction was just the opposite
    to what the sponsors intended. ;

    In another instance the makers
    of a certain’ soft drink product
    praised the product so loudly and
    with such fanfare that consumers in
    their thousands turned to the pro-
    duct of a rival company, just to be
    contrary. All honour to. them!

    The survey revealed, however,
    that normal advertising practices
    render a valuable public service.
    They, undoubtedly, benefit both sell-
    ers and prospective buyers. They aid
    the economy to a.great extent. Very
    few businesses, if any, could exist,
    much less flourish, without adver-
    tising. Incidentally, the newspaper is

    medium. It is when the highpressure
    devotees, armed. with fatuous. slo-
    gans, take over that public resist-
    ance takes on significance—which,
    of course, is a sign of sane thinking
    on the part of the public.

    Senate And Commons

    In the only dispute in this year’s
    session between the Senate and the
    Commons, the Senate thought it
    wise to withdraw an amendment it

    had made to the Estate Tax Act].

    after the lower House had passed
    the legislation.

    “The amendment in question was,
    apparently, not of any great import-
    ance. It was a minor matter which,
    if it had been sustained, would not
    have made -much difference to the

    intent of the Act in general. At the}

    same time, it would_appear that it
    was withdrawn in haste, members of
    the Senate being anxious to avoid a,
    prolonged argument with Comnions’
    members or, more accurately, with
    the Cabinet. This approach may
    have its merits within limits. But it
    is one thing for a Liberal-dominated
    Senate to avoid conflict with a

    Conservative-dominated Commons on |

    a minor matter. It would be quite

    another for the Senate to submit to}

    the Commons on every issue on
    which there might be disagreement,
    merely to show that it does not de-
    sire to be regarded as an “obstruc-
    tionist” body. Fie 2

    As long as the Senate exists, it
    has constitutional responsibilities
    which: it cannot ignore. It has just

    -as much right as the Commons to}:

    discuss legislation; and in taking a
    second look at bills sent to it by the
    lower House it is well within its
    rights; indeed, that is its principal
    function. It would be most unfor-
    tunate if the Senate were to develop
    a sense of inferiority just to keep on
    good terms with the ruling party
    and to avoid disputation,

    problem of wilted cabbage—reports
    say that it is more prevalent this year
    than usual—will be encouraged! by a

    ven. ag
    Dr. A.A. Diamond, director of the

    cabbage wilt is not the result of hot
    weather or prolonged rains, It is caus-
    ed by fungi, the same as many other

    plant diseases. Now, however, there|
    is a possibility that sick plants, like

    sick animals, may be cured by a pill.
    Anti-biotics, fungicides, growth-hor-
    mones and anti-growth ~ compounds
    are being studied as chemotherapeu-
    tic agents for sick plants. “By dis-
    covering the biochemical pathways of
    fungi”, Dr. Diamond says, “scientists
    hope to be able to introduce sustan-
    ces into the plant that will cure dis-
    ease.infecting it.” This would be an
    improvement over disease, prevention
    methods now in use. These methods
    must be used before the’ disease actu-
    ally takes hold.
    It is hoped that the new “pill”
    when one is finally available, wifl also
    be effective against wheat rust which |
    costs American and. Canadian farm-
    ers many millions of dollars annually.

    EDITORIAL NOTES

    It was generally expected that |
    Alaskans would vote to make their
    territory the 49th State, The sur-
    prising thing was that one out of
    every six voted to stay out.

    The Railways are in a quandary.
    They don’t feel like accepting the
    recommendations of the Concilia-
    tion Board which looked into their

    dispute with the unions. Nor are
    they anxious to have the matter re-

    solved by the Federal Cabinet which,
    in all probability, would be governed
    by the board’s majority report. A
    conciliation board should never be
    appointed unless both sides to a dis-

    pute agree in advance to accept its
    recommendations. What purpose
    does it serve otherwise?

    Many years ago the Liberal
    Government paid us that much
    money when costs were way down
    compared to today.

    Again we may be sure Mr.
    Diefenbaker is going to be a
    friend of the Big Business now of
    Ontario and Quebec. Did he not,
    after promising more trade with
    England, slap an-inereased tariff
    on their woolens coming into Can-
    ada. Did not Mr. MacMillan, Eng-

    Montrose,

    Months of intensive exploration, :

    discussion and communication,
    have gone into setting the stage,

    | oY more accurately devising the

    agenda, for this meeting. Here
    in Ottawa these preparations have
    been carried on at an excep-
    tionally high Jevel, with Trade
    Minister Gordon Churchill and
    Finance Minister Donald Flem-
    ing, summoning their departmen-
    tal officials regularly every Wed-
    nesday evening, after Parliament
    has finished its. work’ for the
    day, to meetings of the special
    Commonwealth Conference Com-

    confidence that talks will _pro-
    duce very successful steps to-
    wards’ boosting trade betwe
    members of the Commonwealth.
    “The collective wisdom of the
    Conference will produce som e-
    thing worthwhile. and substantial,

    than of mere pious hope.
    In 1932, a Conservative Govern-

    | ment in Ottawa invited represen’

    tatives of Commonwealth coun-
    tires to a trade conference here.
    That meeting produced the bene-
    fiscial and still observed prefer-

    ential system of tariffs.

    This year, the drive to increase

    ‘ trading relations within the Com-

    moniwealth will have a much wid-
    er framework.
    TIMES HAVE CHANGED

    “There are today more means
    of facilitating trade than there
    used to be, and there is now a
    wider diversification of Common-
    wealth tnading interests than
    there were in 1932,’ a senior
    official working on the Conifer-
    ence plans told me. f

    Canada’s main emphasis. will
    continue to be a determined at-
    tempt to spread our trade over a
    wider and hence a safer base.
    At present we buy too much from
    the States, and we' rely too -heav-
    ily on the States as a market ‘for
    our exports.

    Americans will ‘buy from us
    when jt suits them: It will never,
    in the foreseeable future; — suit
    them to buy such primary com-
    modities as our wheat and our
    fish. They don’t buy our cheese

    and our salmon. They are taking
    positive steps to exclude our soil
    and certain metals.

    But there, are other countries
    in the world who would buy our
    surplus “production of these it-

    ‘ems tomorrow—if they had the

    dollars to pay for them.

    In other words, if we were to
    buy some of our import require-
    ments from some of those woudd-
    be buyers of our unsold surplus-
    es, we would at once open up a
    market for ourselves by spend-
    ing our dollars with them.

    This is presumably what Prime
    Minister John Diefenbaker has
    always meant by his objective of
    reducing our imports from ‘the
    States, and placing those import
    orders elsewhere.

    THE HEN OR THE EGG?

    The Liberals have attacked the
    Prime Minister for what they as-
    sert is a wrong-thinking policy

    -of trade ‘‘diversion’’;: we should
    expand our trade, not divert it, |

    the say. But how? Everyone
    would like to expand exports, but

    one must have money to buy. |}.

    An essential prior step, if we wish
    to expand our exports to the soft
    ‘currency countires, which means
    the Commonwealth and most of
    the western world and the free

    world, is to buy from thos coun-

    tires first. And cah we afford
    to expand our imports from other

    -countires? No, we must change

    our buying habits, or ‘‘divert’’
    “One obvious example being talk-

    {| ed about here is our heavy im-

    portation of citrus fruits. We
    buy these now from California
    and Florida. And what do Cali-

    2

    | forriia.and Florida buy from us?

    Wheat? Apples? Fish? Cheese?

    ‘But if the West Indies were en-
    couraged to develop their citrus
    production to meet our needs, we
    could buy a great part of our
    oranges and grapefruit and lem-
    ons from them, and pay. them
    ‘good Canadian dollars too. They
    woutld then be able to afford to
    buy from us, using those same
    dollars, wheat and fish and other
    items which they badly’ need.

    In these days of import quotas
    and tariffs and a convertible cur-
    rency,. international trade is a
    very complicated. matter. But if
    our representatives can fight their
    way through the international
    red tape at next week’s confer
    ence, our trade pattern may em-
    erge,a year or two from now, in
    a very much healthier shape than
    today.

    By GEORGE KITCHEN
    Canadian Press Staff Writer .
    The United States has: adopted

    two standards of policy on the
    Nationalist-held islands of Matsu
    and Quemoy off the Red China
    coast. !

    One is official and a matier of
    government record; the other is
    unofficial and can be abandoned
    if expedient, to do so.

    The first was ‘set out in the
    statement State Secretary Dulles

    -issued Thursday after his confer-

    at Eisenhower’s vacation ‘head-
    quartrs at Newport, R.1, \

    The statement was an if-and-

    or-but sort of document which
    shed no light on what the US.
    will do if the Red Chinese aitiack
    the two Nationalist islands, which
    lie a few miles off the China
    mainland,
    Tt said the president has not
    yet made-any finding that U.S.
    forces are needed in the defence
    of Formosa, the Chiang Kai-shek
    island stronghold that lies an-
    other 100 miles out to sea. Be-
    yond that, though it ran 900
    words, the statement added noth-
    ing to what U.S. officials already
    have said about the Far East
    crisis,

    The secand standard of policy
    was enunciated by a government
    official who then interpreted that
    statement for reporters, This
    anonymous official, who ranks
    high in the councils of U.S. gov-
    ernment, went far beyond the of-
    ficial statement in indicating that
    Eisenhower has, in fact, decided
    to use American fighting men if
    necessary to keep the islands out
    of Red Chinese hands.

    It is extremely unlikely that the

    U.S. Far East Policies

    By George Kitchen, Canadian Press _ sees

    would, or could, air stich views
    without Eisenhower's prior know-
    ledge.

    TWO FACES

    There are several theories
    about the administnation’s reason-
    ing in putting two faces on its
    China poliey, > .

    One is that Bisenhower wanted
    to give the Red Chinese a sharp
    warning as to American, reaction
    to any offshore attack while at
    the same time giving himself an
    escape hatch if one jis needed. A
    declaration of American intent to
    defend Matsu and Quemoy, if in-
    cluded in an official documeni,
    would commit the U.S. to a
    course of action from which it
    ment by an anonymous official,
    no matter how thigh, does not’
    commit the government, and can
    be denied or forgotten if the need
    arises.

    Another theory is that Eisen-
    hower is less anxious or willing
    to go to Chiang’s aid over the is-
    lands than is Dulles and some of
    his pro-chiang aides in the state
    department, and that an unofti-
    cial declaration of American in-
    tent was as far as the president
    was prepared to go.

    WAIT AND SEE

    And it may also be that Kisen-
    hower has, in actual fact, not yet
    decided whether to commit U.S
    forces in the defence of the is-
    lands, Asked about this at his last
    Washington press conference, the
    president made this significant
    reply: :

    “You simply can not make mil-
    itary decisions until after the
    event reaches you.” . :

    Here’s Average

    By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D.
    ARE YOU a candidate for. an
    ulcer? he i
    It has been estimate iat be-
    tween 10 and 12 per cent: of Aim-
    ericans will suffer from peptic
    ulcer sometime during their lives.
    Are you likely to be one of them?
    Well, we can’t say for sure, of
    course, since we don’t even know
    the exact cause of stomach ul-
    cers, But we can call upon sta-
    tistics to give us a pretty good
    description of the average ul-
    eer victim. ‘
    ‘For example, we know thal an
    ulcer patient pretty: generally is
    a lean person in contrast to the
    He is tense,- aggressive, am-
    bitious, anxious to get somewhere,
    in this business world of, ours.
    And there is a fairly good chance
    that some other member of his

    | family has or had an ulcer. We

    know there is a tendency for
    many members of some famil-
    jes to be stricken with ulcers.

    in the lining of the stomach or
    duodenum. It is the result of
    the destruction of the underlying
    tissue by the digestive action of
    acid gastric juice.

    The actual size of the break

    ‘will range from a quarter of an

    inch to an inch, but from the

    | pain it can cause, you might

    think it was a mile wide. In

    | ehronie cases patients might com-

    Plain of pain’ for up to seven
    years.

    For some reason, attacks ef
    pain generally are more preva-
    lent in the spring and the fall.
    WHEN IT HURTS ©

    We are pretty certain. that pain
    is caused when the stomach acid

    relieve the pain either by neu-
    tralizing the acid or by emptying
    the stomach.

    Worry and fatigue tend to pro-
    duce recurrences of pain. So do
    acute infections.

    Almost always the pain pro-
    duced by stomach ulcers can’ be
    relieved by eating. Your doctor,
    of course, will place you on a spe-
    Cial diet with a lot of milk and
    cream. He will prohibit highly

    of tobacco and alcohol.
    He also has antacid powders.

    : and pastes at his disposal to
    tralize the stomach acidity and, ;

    if necessary, he can cure the ul-
    cer with surgery. py

    R.W,: Should a baby just home
    from the hospital have his erib
    Mattress raised at the head?

    Answer: Usually, the baby’s bed
    should be level. However. when
    the baby has a cold, it is advan-
    tageous to lower the head. of
    the bed in order that infected
    secretions can drain out of the
