âWhy Fear Free Debate?
Commenting on the proposed sum-
mit. conference on the Middle East
situation, the Christian Science Moni-
tor says the prospect might well spell
a diplomatic victory for Moscow or
for the Western powers. That is what
makes it so important. The defea-
tist attitude apparent in Washington
is duly noted. Certainly it - would
be naive to suppose that the Krem-.
lin often moves without a propaganda â
purpose. âBut,â says the Monitor, âis
it not a mistake to assume that open
discussion of any situation must be a
'\ disadvantage to the free nations?
Should we deny our faith that. the
truth will prevail under conditions
of free debate? Indeed, are not the
totalitarians forced to battle on our
ground whenever they accept such
conditions?â ;
As to giving the Soviet a role in
Middle East decisions, whether we
like it or not Moscow is already play- ;
ing that part, both in economics and
diplomacy, both inside the United
Nations and outside. What is less
clear is any intention of Moscow to
eontribute to peace âin the area. So far
it has mainly been engaged in encour-
aging Arab nationalismâs more vio-
lent pressures against the West and
against Israel.
Yet in any U. N. forum Moscow
suffers from certain disadvantages.
In the recent Security Council pro-
ceedings it has repeatedly found it-
self in a lonely minority. Its votes
have not been registered without
some evidence of embarrassment. It
has had to appear not only in a com-
pletely negative positionâoffering
no workable solutionâbut in opposi-
tion to U.N. solution. If Mr. Khrush-
chev wants to escape. from this un-
comfortable position he wil! have to
offer something better than fulmin-'
ations against Britain and the United
States. :
The Monitor concludes on a hote
which Prime Minister. Macmillan.
must have had in mind in drafting
hia reply to the Soviet leaderâs pro-
âposals, and which we too feel is of
overriding importance: âNaturally
Western leaders should seek to avoid
pitfalls and to set conditions for the
conference which will conduce to real
peacemaking. But we submit that
they should approach it confidently â
ready to have wrong exposed where-
ver it exists, trusting that the right,
wherever it exists, will become more
apparent. This process in itself can
make a fundamental contribution to
peace..And that must be an ever-pre-
aent goal.â
âNew Movement
After talking about it for some
years with varying degrees of en-
thusiasm, the C.C.F. and the Can-
adian Labour Congress have decided
to come together for better or worse.
It would seem to be a reasonable
union of convenience. Whether it will
bring glory to either partner remains
to be seen.
President Jodoin of the C.L.C.
seems to think that the union will
create fear in the mind of the public
that organized labour . may try to do-.
minate the political life of the coun-
try. We doubt very much that any
|) such fear exists. For one thing, the
C.C.F. even with official C.L.C. sup-
port, has a long way to go before it
can hope to reach the summit. For
another, organized labour,
strong in this country, is not strong
enough to dominate anything outside
its own sphere of influence, nor is it
likely to be,
If the C.C.F.-C.L.C. combination
can do as much in Canada as the La-
bour Party and its Trade Union al-
lies have been able to accomplish in
Britainânvt a very impressive re-
eord statisticailyâthat is as much
as it can expect. Ifâassuming it ever
wins a federai electionâit can pro-
duce the high calibre of stateman-
ship that has featured Labour re-
gimes in Britain, on the whole, it will
have reason to be proud of its record.
Meanwhile, we fee: sure that most
Canadians, irrespective of their politi-
eal views, will wish the new. move-
ment well and whatever success it
will have deserved after its plans and
purposes have been determined.
Franklyâif Premier Douglasâ key
though â
speech at the present Convention ts a
true indication of policyâwe donât
fell that the new movement has start-
ed out particularly well. Mr. Douglas
claimed that the partyâs first task is
to combat âTory reaction.â This is a
straw man if ever there was one.
What Mr. Douglas calls by that name
is just as Libera! as anything Canada
has ever seen in a Government.
C.C.Fers will have to pick out more
practical targets for their anymuni-
tion, if they hope to get anywhere.
The Late Mr. MacMillan
Few men have contributed more
to the efficiency of the public service
in this Province than the late Mr. L.B.
MacMillan, M.B.E., who was Deputy
Minister of Public Works for nearly
half a century and who since his re-
of the Public Utilities Commission.
Mr. MacMillanâs knowledge of
every detail connected with his duties
was phenomenal, and he was of in-
valuable assistance to successive
Ministers in-his department. He was
very courteous and helpful to mem-
public generally. The younger genera-
tion owed him a special debt for the
interest he took in sports, and his en-
thusiasm in promoting these activiti-
es in which he had himself participat-
ed with outstanding success as a
youth. ;
In every way he was an excellent
citizen and his passing will be sin-
cerely mourned. The Guardian joins
in extending sympathy to his wife
and family in their bereavement.
The Fear Factor |
The London Times refers to a
the campaign of cancer education in
the United Kingdom; that is, the
âmisguided effortsâ to make the pub
lic disease-conscious.
Cancer takes a great many lives,
and since the cause is unknown, the
earlier it is recognized the more likely
it will respond to medical treatment.
âThe public must be educated about
| the importance of early medical at-
tention. e. :
With this The Times agrees. The
difficulty arises in trying to educate
the publie without introducing the
fear factor. As every doctor knows,
The Times says, âthere is no surer
way of, ruining an individualâs life
than by giving him such a spectre
companion throughout life.â It com-
mends the British Medical Associa-
for purposes of cancer education. The
best place for such education, it
says, is in the doctorâs office.
EDITORIAL NOTES
It is tragic that the first United
Statesâ marine to be killed in Leban-
on was shot by one of his own group.
For some reason he failed to answer
- the challenge of a sentry who there-
upon carried out orders to shoot.

It is reported that 5000 policemen
besides a host of secret service men
will be on duty to guard Premier Ni-
kita Khrushchev when he arrives to
attend the summit meeting in New
York. This will be another lift to the
Soviet leaderâs ego. He will take great
satisfaction from it, ignoring the rea-
nism by: European refugees now liv-
ing in the States
* * *
M.Pâs from four ProvincesâNew
Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan
and Albertaâtold the Agriculture
Committee of the Commons that the
Federal Government should make
more long-term credit available âto
farmers on more generous terms. No
doubt, our own members will find a
way to make themselves heard on this
important matter. No province is in
greater need of a practical farm-cre-
dit system.

In discussing in the Commons the
discharge of an employee who had
been found in possession of eontra-
band liquor and cigarettes, Agricul-
âture Minister Harkness noted that no
charge had been made against the

partment was not deemed advisable.â
Does this mean that federal employ-
ment is a protection against prosecu-
tion? Thatâs the way it sounds.

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS â
Libya And The Sudan
The Times, London
Those Arabs who live to the
west of geographical Arabia and
beyond the borders of Egypt are
determined to stay out of the pre-
sent Middle East imbroglio. Both
Libya and the Sudan have repu-
tations for independence that they
have sturdily maintained both
against the magnetism of Cairo
and against the blandishments of
the West. iS
It is not possible, of course, for
territories in this part of the
world to follow a policy of com-
plete non-involvement.
On the one hand the stirrings
of Arab nationalism are easily
seen, and actively tncouraged, in
both countries; on the other, ec-
onomic difficulties have persuad-
ed them to seek aid from the
âWest. : : ; ;
KEPT A BALANCE .
Libya has a treaty of alliance
with Britain and an agreement
providing for the âuse of Libyan
bases by United States forcés; the
Sudanese Government has recent-
ly agreed to an offer of American
aid. : .
The Governments of both coun-
tries are successfully keeping a
balance between these two in-
fluences. Economic aid and fin-
ancial agreementsâ do not prevent
âcoups,â however, and it may be
that in the long run the weight
of nationalism will make a tilt
of the scales inevitable.
In Libya Cairo Radio can be
heard eighteen hours a day. There
are 500 Egyptian teachers in the
schools, universities, and training
colleges, and Egyptian textbooks
are in general use. :
In the past ten years many Li-
pyans have been to universities
in Egypt. In the Sudan there is
an opposition party that. has been
quick to welcome the Iraq revolt,
and the unrest between the Mus-
lim north and the non-Muslim
south is easy for disruptive ele-
ments to exploit.
Tn spite of these obvious dan-
gers there are special circum-
stances in both the Sudan and
Libya which give hope that they
may retain their independent
ways. ee
A few days ago in Khartoum
the Sudan Government reaffirm-
ed its foreign policy as one of
non-alignment with the western
and eastern blocks and neutral-
ity among Arab States.
RISKS LESSENED
Apart from the Governmentâs
determination to avoid them, the
risks of Arab nationalism on the
Egyptian model spreading in the
Sudan havé undoubtedly been les-
sened by the behavior of Nasser.
He moved in a high-handed and
arbitarary way against the Su-
_dan in February to try to enforce
a settlement of the boundary dis-
pute and was sharply rebuffed.
He has been unreasonable in his
demands over the Nile, waters.
And Cairo Radio has broadcast
attacks on Sudanese Ministers
who form part of a freely elect-
ed Government. Libya, since it
achieved independence: six years
ago, has been reorienting itself.
The creation of other indepen-
dent States in North Africa and
the breaking up of the Arab Lea-
gue have lessened its interest and
connection with the east. Conse-
quently it has been pushed to-
wards evolving a policy of its
own,
Like the Sudan, Libya has
shown skill and initiative in thus
fulfilling its independence.
Civil Service Reform
Montreal
In the general election of 1957
the Progressive . Conservative
Party promised that the civil ser-
vice would be thoroughly revised
with: a view to cutting down all
waste. As Mr. Diefenbaker said
during the campaign: âTh e Con-
servative Party. has endeavored
to secure a reduction in unneces-
sary expenditures of Government
by suggesting the setting up of
-a@ commission, similar to the Hoo-
ver Commission in the Uwnited
States, but without result. That
. commission has suggested econo-
mies in the billions.â
No action has yet been taken
on this matter. When asked re-
cently in the House of Commons
whether he had abandoned the
idea of civil service reform Mr.
Diefenbaker replied: ââThe Gov-
ernment will give the fullest con-
sideration to this matter and when
it is in a position to announce
a decision, it will be made to the
House.ââ :
MANY DIFFICULTIES
The difficulties, of course, are
easy to undenstand. Civil ser-
vants might look with uneasiness
upon such sweeping revisions, for
fear of losing their jobs. Loss of
employment is a serious prospect
for anybody. â
On the other hand, the growth

This column is open to the. discus-
sion by correspondents of question of
interest. The Guardian does not neses-
sarily endorse the opinion of corres-
pondents.
A TRIBUTE
Sir,âWith your permission, I
would like to make a few re-
marks concerning a good friend
of mine, who has recently passed
on to the Home beyond. There is
an ancient proverb which says:
âTf you cannot say anything good
about a person say nothing at
allâ, Well, I find that I can say
nothing but âgoodâ about the
late Captain Joseph Wallace
White.
Mr. White was a seafaring
man, engaged in coastal trade.
As a rule, seafaring men are out-
spoken; there is little or no de-
ceit in them, Truly, I found the
Captain to be one of them. He
was a kind and true friend. I
had the privilege and pleasure of
being in his home many times.
The hospitality in that home was
unbounded.
Captain Wally, (as he was het-
ter known to his many: friends)
was a Christian man, and was
always interested in the work |
of the Church of which he was
a member. He was also a sup-
porter of every good work in
the community of Murray Har-
bour South, where he made his
home. He will be greatly missed
by his wife and family, and a
lange circle of friends: His fu-
neral was a large one. The fioral
tributes were many and beauti-
ful, and gave sileft testimony to
the: esteem in. which Captain
White was held. âBlessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their
labours; and their works do fol-
low them.â (Revelation 14:13).
I am, Sir, ete.
Lic. W. D. JOHNSTON.
Montague, P.E.1,
Gazette :
in the size of the civil/ service is
a serious burden for the taxpayer
The federal civil service, accord-
ing a figures released less, than
a month ago by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics, increased
more than, 7,500 in the year sep-
arating October 31, 1956 from
âthe same date in 1957. During |
âthe same perod,
the monthly
âpayroll rosĂ© from $47.1 million to
$52.8 million. This total does not
include monthly overtime pay-
ments. These also increased from
about half a million to about
three-quarters of a million.
If there is to be a reduction in |-
the costs of administration, it is
in theseâ massive payrolls that it
it must come. These payrolls
have been described as ââthe
deadweight of administra-
tive cost?â
NATURAL ANXIETY
It would be most unfortunate if
the need for an efficient overhaul
of the civil service were to be
indefintely postponed. Yet the
very natural anxiety of civil ser-
vants for the security of employ-
mént deserves sympathetic con-
sideration. :
There would seem to be a rea-
sonable solutidn. It is a solution
that would allow for reform on
the one hand, without causing a
single civil servant to lose his
job.
The reform could take place in
this way. A commission perhaps
similar to the Hoover Commis-
sion, could examine the whole
civil service structure, with a
view to bringing about modern
and efficient operations it could
recommend the reduction of staff
wherever needed. =
REASSIGNMENT
On the other hand, instead of
discharging any civil servant, a
policy of reassignment could be
followed. :
The civil service naturally. de-
creases every year, in every de-
partment through the automatic
retirement of members on pen-
sion; through death, and through
the voluntary
those who wish to take other typ-
es of employment. :
â Tf the policy of engaging new
civil servants were to be re-
stricted, those who had been
found superfluous âcould be given
employment to fill vacancies,
where the need of employment
is real. In other words, instead
of taking on new employees, and
adding to the civil service as
such, present employees could be
reassigned to vacancies as they
âappear where theirâ work would
be more evidently in demand.
This policy could be carried out
with the fullest consideration of
the feelings of the Government's
employees. The assignment toâ a
new department, for instance,
could often be arranged to take
place in the same community, so
that no civil servant need be mov-
ed to another part of the country
unless it were acceptable to him.
HIGH PROPORTION :
A high proportion of the work-
ing skills needed or acquired in
the civil service are of a general
kind, suitable for many depart-
ments. This would apply not only
to clerical work, but to many
special branches, such as public
relations and accountancy.
Through the transfer might be
from one department of another,
resignations â of |
ti need not be from one occupation
to another. The same occupation
could be continued. :
Such a policy might delay
somewhat the immediate decrease
of staff, which an investigating
commission might ârecommend.
But as a means of reconciling
the need of efficiency with con-
sideration for employees them-
selves, the delay would seem just-
ified. It is a policy that could
be clearly announced, by the Gov-
ernment before an investigating
âcommission was appointed.

Who's The Family
Boss At Bedtime?
By Herman NM. Bundesen. M.D.
YOUNGSTERS, just in case
sore of you didnât know, like to
feel important. They rejoice in
being the center of things.
And if they can get Mom and
Pop to wait on them they feel
like kings.
Most youngsters begin conniv-
ing just before they go to bed.
They'll stall as long as they can
and, once theyâre in bed, they
begin making a bid for attention.
First request in the majority
of cases is to call for a drink of
water. You'd think your tot was
dying of thirst in the middle of
the Sahara Desert the way he
longs for a couple of sips of
water.
If he gets that. or even if he
doesnât, his next move most lik-
ely will be to advise you threat-
eningly that he has to go to the
bathroom.
HEâS GOT YOU
If you answer this requestâ
and most sarents donât dare to
ignore it.â he knows he's got
you just where he wants you. By
this time you are working for
him, and he'll keep you enslaved:
jyst as long as he can possibly
«His nĂ©xt query itâs likelyâ to
be more of a demand by now) is
to ask: Ă©
âWhat's that?â Ă©
If you fall for this one and ask
him what was what, he'll reply
that he heard ââA noise.â
Unless you let him know in no
uncertain terms that you have
-had enough of his monkey-shines,
his next moveâand you can al-
most bet on itâwill be to call for
a handkerchief. -
FURTHER REQUESTS |
Then he will ask you to cover
him, to straighten the bed-clothes
and, finally, to ââread me a storyâ
You must take a firm stand
right at the beginning ofr you
are licked, :
Make sure vou give him plen-
ty of love and attention during
the daytime and especially âbe-
fore going to bed. Then, when he
is put to bed, be firm with him.
Donât be bullied. ©
âWhen you say goodnight, tell
him that it is final; that you will
tolenate no foolishness. If you
say that it is final; that you
will tolerate no foolishness. if
you say it in a convincing man-
ner you'll get results.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
Mr. J.L.: Why are pensons with
uleers in most cases forbidden to
drink and smoke?
swer: Since smoking and the
drinking of alcoholic beverages
act as a stimulant for the sécre-
tations of hydrochloric acid and
other digéstive juices, they may
perpetuate and even increase the
symptoms of the elcer. Therefore,
many doctors believe that it is
inadvisable for a person suiffer-
ing from this disease to either
smoke or drink alcoholic bever-
ages. 5

Big Brother Is Listening _
Winnipeg Free Press
Mr. Diefenbaker feels that. it
is perfectly proper for him to
listen to debates in tee House of
Commons without actually being
in the Chamiber. To enable bim
to do this, he has had installed
in his office a loud-speaker con-
nected to the microphone system
in the Commons. On Saturday he
defended his electronic eavesdrop-
ping on the ground that it permit-
ted thim to attend to his duties
as Prime Minister and still keep
an ear on what was happenin;
in the House. â fis
He is so convinced of the pro-
priety âof this arrangement that
he did not bother to consult the
House of Commons about it.
Parliament has always resisted
any proposal that people should
be able to hear tits proceedings
without being present for the pur-
pose.
FIRST EXCEPTION
Mr. Diefenbaker apparently
took it for granted that no one
would mind his being the first
exception to the rule. Parliament
found out through the report of
an enterprising newspaperman.
Certainly the Prime Minister
has much to do that must be done
from his office. But many of his
Ministers are in much the same
position. For that maiiter, many
backbenchers have duties that
they cannot dischange while fmey
are in the Commions taking part
in the debates.
if it ig alll night for Mr. Die-
fenbaker to do two things at once,
sufely there is no reason why
other members of Parliament
should be denied the same priv-
ilege. Let all MP.s he given loud-
speakens in their oiffices and there
will be no need for amyone to be
in the chamber at all, except the
member speawing and, perhaps,
Mr. Speaker â although his dut-
~ would be somewhat. diminish
Better still, in this age of elec-
tronic marvels it should not be
too difficult to install a closed te-
levision cincuit between. aill mem-
bersâ homes right across the coun--
try. Then they can talk back and
forth at any hour of the day or
night without leaving the comfort
of their own firesides and con-
stituencies: and there will be no
need for Parliament to meet at
ail.

âWhy Fear Free Debate?
Commenting on the proposed sum-
mit. conference on the Middle East
situation, the Christian Science Moni-
tor says the prospect might well spell
a diplomatic victory for Moscow or
for the Western powers. That is what
makes it so important. The defea-
tist attitude apparent in Washington
is duly noted. Certainly it - would
be naive to suppose that the Krem-.
lin often moves without a propaganda â
purpose. âBut,â says the Monitor, âis
it not a mistake to assume that open
discussion of any situation must be a
'\ disadvantage to the free nations?
Should we deny our faith that. the
truth will prevail under conditions
of free debate? Indeed, are not the
totalitarians forced to battle on our
ground whenever they accept such
conditions?â ;
As to giving the Soviet a role in
Middle East decisions, whether we
like it or not Moscow is already play- ;
ing that part, both in economics and
diplomacy, both inside the United
Nations and outside. What is less
clear is any intention of Moscow to
eontribute to peace âin the area. So far
it has mainly been engaged in encour-
aging Arab nationalismâs more vio-
lent pressures against the West and
against Israel.
Yet in any U. N. forum Moscow
suffers from certain disadvantages.
In the recent Security Council pro-
ceedings it has repeatedly found it-
self in a lonely minority. Its votes
have not been registered without
some evidence of embarrassment. It
has had to appear not only in a com-
pletely negative positionâoffering
no workable solutionâbut in opposi-
tion to U.N. solution. If Mr. Khrush-
chev wants to escape. from this un-
comfortable position he wil! have to
offer something better than fulmin-'
ations against Britain and the United
States. :
The Monitor concludes on a hote
which Prime Minister. Macmillan.
must have had in mind in drafting
hia reply to the Soviet leaderâs pro-
âposals, and which we too feel is of
overriding importance: âNaturally
Western leaders should seek to avoid
pitfalls and to set conditions for the
conference which will conduce to real
peacemaking. But we submit that
they should approach it confidently â
ready to have wrong exposed where-
ver it exists, trusting that the right,
wherever it exists, will become more
apparent. This process in itself can
make a fundamental contribution to
peace..And that must be an ever-pre-
aent goal.â
âNew Movement
After talking about it for some
years with varying degrees of en-
thusiasm, the C.C.F. and the Can-
adian Labour Congress have decided
to come together for better or worse.
It would seem to be a reasonable
union of convenience. Whether it will
bring glory to either partner remains
to be seen.
President Jodoin of the C.L.C.
seems to think that the union will
create fear in the mind of the public
that organized labour . may try to do-.
minate the political life of the coun-
try. We doubt very much that any
|) such fear exists. For one thing, the
C.C.F. even with official C.L.C. sup-
port, has a long way to go before it
can hope to reach the summit. For
another, organized labour,
strong in this country, is not strong
enough to dominate anything outside
its own sphere of influence, nor is it
likely to be,
If the C.C.F.-C.L.C. combination
can do as much in Canada as the La-
bour Party and its Trade Union al-
lies have been able to accomplish in
Britainânvt a very impressive re-
eord statisticailyâthat is as much
as it can expect. Ifâassuming it ever
wins a federai electionâit can pro-
duce the high calibre of stateman-
ship that has featured Labour re-
gimes in Britain, on the whole, it will
have reason to be proud of its record.
Meanwhile, we fee: sure that most
Canadians, irrespective of their politi-
eal views, will wish the new. move-
ment well and whatever success it
will have deserved after its plans and
purposes have been determined.
Franklyâif Premier Douglasâ key
though â
speech at the present Convention ts a
true indication of policyâwe donât
fell that the new movement has start-
ed out particularly well. Mr. Douglas
claimed that the partyâs first task is
to combat âTory reaction.â This is a
straw man if ever there was one.
What Mr. Douglas calls by that name
is just as Libera! as anything Canada
has ever seen in a Government.
C.C.Fers will have to pick out more
practical targets for their anymuni-
tion, if they hope to get anywhere.
The Late Mr. MacMillan
Few men have contributed more
to the efficiency of the public service
in this Province than the late Mr. L.B.
MacMillan, M.B.E., who was Deputy
Minister of Public Works for nearly
half a century and who since his re-
of the Public Utilities Commission.
Mr. MacMillanâs knowledge of
every detail connected with his duties
was phenomenal, and he was of in-
valuable assistance to successive
Ministers in-his department. He was
very courteous and helpful to mem-
public generally. The younger genera-
tion owed him a special debt for the
interest he took in sports, and his en-
thusiasm in promoting these activiti-
es in which he had himself participat-
ed with outstanding success as a
youth. ;
In every way he was an excellent
citizen and his passing will be sin-
cerely mourned. The Guardian joins
in extending sympathy to his wife
and family in their bereavement.
The Fear Factor |
The London Times refers to a
the campaign of cancer education in
the United Kingdom; that is, the
âmisguided effortsâ to make the pub
lic disease-conscious.
Cancer takes a great many lives,
and since the cause is unknown, the
earlier it is recognized the more likely
it will respond to medical treatment.
âThe public must be educated about
| the importance of early medical at-
tention. e. :
With this The Times agrees. The
difficulty arises in trying to educate
the publie without introducing the
fear factor. As every doctor knows,
The Times says, âthere is no surer
way of, ruining an individualâs life
than by giving him such a spectre
companion throughout life.â It com-
mends the British Medical Associa-
for purposes of cancer education. The
best place for such education, it
says, is in the doctorâs office.
EDITORIAL NOTES
It is tragic that the first United
Statesâ marine to be killed in Leban-
on was shot by one of his own group.
For some reason he failed to answer
- the challenge of a sentry who there-
upon carried out orders to shoot.

It is reported that 5000 policemen
besides a host of secret service men
will be on duty to guard Premier Ni-
kita Khrushchev when he arrives to
attend the summit meeting in New
York. This will be another lift to the
Soviet leaderâs ego. He will take great
satisfaction from it, ignoring the rea-
nism by: European refugees now liv-
ing in the States

M.Pâs from four ProvincesâNew
Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan
and Albertaâtold the Agriculture
Committee of the Commons that the
Federal Government should make
more long-term credit available âto
farmers on more generous terms. No
doubt, our own members will find a
way to make themselves heard on this
important matter. No province is in
greater need of a practical farm-cre-
dit system.

In discussing in the Commons the
discharge of an employee who had
been found in possession of eontra-

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS â
Libya And The Sudan
The Times, London
Those Arabs who live to the
west of geographical Arabia and
beyond the borders of Egypt are
determined to stay out of the pre-
sent Middle East imbroglio. Both
Libya and the Sudan have repu-
tations for independence that they
have sturdily maintained both
against the magnetism of Cairo
and against the blandishments of
the West. iS
It is not possible, of course, for
territories in this part of the
world to follow a policy of com-
plete non-involvement.
On the one hand the stirrings
of Arab nationalism are easily
seen, and actively tncouraged, in
both countries; on the other, ec-
onomic difficulties have persuad-
ed them to seek aid from the
âWest. : : ; ;
KEPT A BALANCE .
Libya has a treaty of alliance
with Britain and an agreement
providing for the âuse of Libyan
bases by United States forcés; the
Sudanese Government has recent-
ly agreed to an offer of American
aid. : .
The Governments of both coun-
tries are successfully keeping a
balance between these two in-
fluences. Economic aid and fin-
ancial agreementsâ do not prevent
âcoups,â however, and it may be
that in the long run the weight
of nationalism will make a tilt
of the scales inevitable.
In Libya Cairo Radio can be
heard eighteen hours a day. There
are 500 Egyptian teachers in the
schools, universities, and training
colleges, and Egyptian textbooks
are in general use. :
In the past ten years many Li-
pyans have been to universities
in Egypt. In the Sudan there is
an opposition party that. has been
quick to welcome the Iraq revolt,
and the unrest between the Mus-
lim north and the non-Muslim
south is easy for disruptive ele-
ments to exploit.
Tn spite of these obvious dan-
gers there are special circum-
stances in both the Sudan and
Libya which give hope that they
may retain their independent
ways. ee
A few days ago in Khartoum
the Sudan Government reaffirm-
ed its foreign policy as one of
non-alignment with the western
and eastern blocks and neutral-
ity among Arab States.
RISKS LESSENED
Apart from the Governmentâs
determination to avoid them, the
risks of Arab nationalism on the
Egyptian model spreading in the
Sudan havé undoubtedly been les-
sened by the behavior of Nasser.
He moved in a high-handed and
arbitarary way against the Su-
_dan in February to try to enforce
a settlement of the boundary dis-
pute and was sharply rebuffed.
He has been unreasonable in his
demands over the Nile, waters.
And Cairo Radio has broadcast
attacks on Sudanese Ministers
who form part of a freely elect-
ed Government. Libya, since it
achieved independence: six years
ago, has been reorienting itself.
The creation of other indepen-
dent States in North Africa and
the breaking up of the Arab Lea-
gue have lessened its interest and
connection with the east. Conse-
quently it has been pushed to-
wards evolving a policy of its
own,
Like the Sudan, Libya has
shown skill and initiative in thus
fulfilling its independence.
Civil Service Reform
Montreal
In the general election of 1957
the Progressive . Conservative
Party promised that the civil ser-
vice would be thoroughly revised
with: a view to cutting down all
waste. As Mr. Diefenbaker said
during the campaign: âTh e Con-
servative Party. has endeavored
to secure a reduction in unneces-
sary expenditures of Government
by suggesting the setting up of
-a@ commission, similar to the Hoo-
ver Commission in the Uwnited
States, but without result. That
. commission has suggested econo-
mies in the billions.â
No action has yet been taken
on this matter. When asked re-
cently in the House of Commons
whether he had abandoned the
idea of civil service reform Mr.
Diefenbaker replied: ââThe Gov-
ernment will give the fullest con-
sideration to this matter and when
it is in a position to announce
a decision, it will be made to the
House.ââ :
MANY DIFFICULTIES
The difficulties, of course, are
easy to undenstand. Civil ser-
vants might look with uneasiness
upon such sweeping revisions, for
fear of losing their jobs. Loss of
employment is a serious prospect
for anybody. â
On the other hand, the growth

This column is open to the. discus-
sion by correspondents of question of
interest. The Guardian does not neses-
sarily endorse the opinion of corres-
pondents.
A TRIBUTE
Sir,âWith your permission, I
would like to make a few re-
marks concerning a good friend
of mine, who has recently passed
on to the Home beyond. There is
an ancient proverb which says:
âTf you cannot say anything good
about a person say nothing at
allâ, Well, I find that I can say
nothing but âgoodâ about the
late Captain Joseph Wallace
White.
Mr. White was a seafaring
man, engaged in coastal trade.
As a rule, seafaring men are out-
spoken; there is little or no de-
ceit in them, Truly, I found the
Captain to be one of them. He
was a kind and true friend. I
had the privilege and pleasure of
being in his home many times.
The hospitality in that home was
unbounded.
Captain Wally, (as he was het-
ter known to his many: friends)
was a Christian man, and was
always interested in the work |
of the Church of which he was
a member. He was also a sup-
porter of every good work in
the community of Murray Har-
bour South, where he made his
home. He will be greatly missed
by his wife and family, and a
lange circle of friends: His fu-
neral was a large one. The fioral
tributes were many and beauti-
ful, and gave sileft testimony to
the: esteem in. which Captain
White was held. âBlessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit,
that they may rest from their
labours; and their works do fol-
low them.â (Revelation 14:13).
I am, Sir, ete.
Lic. W. D. JOHNSTON.
Montague, P.E.1,
Gazette :
in the size of the civil/ service is
a serious burden for the taxpayer
The federal civil service, accord-
ing a figures released less, than
a month ago by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics, increased
more than, 7,500 in the year sep-
arating October 31, 1956 from
âthe same date in 1957. During |
âthe same perod,
the monthly
âpayroll rosĂ© from $47.1 million to
$52.8 million. This total does not
include monthly overtime pay-
ments. These also increased from
about half a million to about
three-quarters of a million.
If there is to be a reduction in |-
the costs of administration, it is
in theseâ massive payrolls that it
it must come. These payrolls
have been described as ââthe
deadweight of administra-
tive cost?â
NATURAL ANXIETY
It would be most unfortunate if
the need for an efficient overhaul
of the civil service were to be
indefintely postponed. Yet the
very natural anxiety of civil ser-
vants for the security of employ-
mént deserves sympathetic con-
sideration. :
There would seem to be a rea-
sonable solutidn. It is a solution
that would allow for reform on
the one hand, without causing a
single civil servant to lose his
job.
The reform could take place in
this way. A commission perhaps
similar to the Hoover Commis-
sion, could examine the whole
civil service structure, with a
view to bringing about modern
and efficient operations it could
recommend the reduction of staff
wherever needed. =
REASSIGNMENT
On the other hand, instead of
discharging any civil servant, a
policy of reassignment could be
followed. :
The civil service naturally. de-
creases every year, in every de-
partment through the automatic
retirement of members on pen-
sion; through death, and through
the voluntary
those who wish to take other typ-
es of employment. :
â Tf the policy of engaging new
civil servants were to be re-
stricted, those who had been
found superfluous âcould be given
employment to fill vacancies,
where the need of employment
is real. In other words, instead
of taking on new employees, and
adding to the civil service as
such, present employees could be
reassigned to vacancies as they
âappear where theirâ work would
be more evidently in demand.
This policy could be carried out
with the fullest consideration of
the feelings of the Government's
employees. The assignment toâ a
new department, for instance,
could often be arranged to take
place in the same community, so
that no civil servant need be mov-
ed to another part of the country
unless it were acceptable to him.
HIGH PROPORTION :
A high proportion of the work-
ing skills needed or acquired in
the civil service are of a general
kind, suitable for many depart-
ments. This would apply not only
to clerical work, but to many
special branches, such as public
relations and accountancy.
Through the transfer might be
from one department of another,
resignations â of |
ti need not be from one occupation
to another. The same occupation
could be continued. :
Such a policy might delay
somewhat the immediate decrease
of staff, which an investigating
commission might ârecommend.
But as a means of reconciling
the need of efficiency with con-
sideration for employees them-
selves, the delay would seem just-
ified. It is a policy that could
be clearly announced, by the Gov-
ernment before an investigating
âcommission was appointed.

Who's The Family
Boss At Bedtime?
By Herman NM. Bundesen. M.D.
YOUNGSTERS, just in case
sore of you didnât know, like to
feel important. They rejoice in
being the center of things.
And if they can get Mom and
Pop to wait on them they feel
like kings.
Most youngsters begin conniv-
ing just before they go to bed.
They'll stall as long as they can
and, once theyâre in bed, they
begin making a bid for attention.
First request in the majority
of cases is to call for a drink of
water. You'd think your tot was
dying of thirst in the middle of
the Sahara Desert the way he
longs for a couple of sips of
water.
If he gets that. or even if he
doesnât, his next move most lik-
ely will be to advise you threat-
eningly that he has to go to the
bathroom.
HEâS GOT YOU
If you answer this requestâ
and most sarents donât dare to
ignore it.â he knows he's got
you just where he wants you. By
this time you are working for
him, and he'll keep you enslaved:
jyst as long as he can possibly
«His nĂ©xt query itâs likelyâ to
be more of a demand by now) is
to ask: Ă©
âWhat's that?â Ă©
If you fall for this one and ask
him what was what, he'll reply
that he heard ââA noise.â
Unless you let him know in no
uncertain terms that you have
-had enough of his monkey-shines,
his next moveâand you can al-
most bet on itâwill be to call for
a handkerchief. -
FURTHER REQUESTS |
Then he will ask you to cover
him, to straighten the bed-clothes
and, finally, to ââread me a storyâ
You must take a firm stand
right at the beginning ofr you
are licked, :
Make sure vou give him plen-
ty of love and attention during
the daytime and especially âbe-
fore going to bed. Then, when he
is put to bed, be firm with him.
Donât be bullied. ©
âWhen you say goodnight, tell
him that it is final; that you will
tolenate no foolishness. If you
say that it is final; that you
will tolerate no foolishness. if
you say it in a convincing man-
ner you'll get results.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
Mr. J.L.: Why are pensons with
uleers in most cases forbidden to
drink and smoke?
swer: Since smoking and the
drinking of alcoholic beverages
act as a stimulant for the sécre-
tations of hydrochloric acid and
other digéstive juices, they may
perpetuate and even increase the
symptoms of the elcer. Therefore,
many doctors believe that it is
inadvisable for a person suiffer-
ing from this disease to either
smoke or drink alcoholic bever-
ages. 5

Big Brother Is Listening _
Winnipeg Free Press
Mr. Diefenbaker feels that. it
is perfectly proper for him to
listen to debates in tee House of
Commons without actually being
in the Chamiber. To enable bim
to do this, he has had installed
in his office a loud-speaker con-
nected to the microphone system
in the Commons. On Saturday he
defended his electronic eavesdrop-
ping on the ground that it permit-
ted thim to attend to his duties
as Prime Minister and still keep
an ear on what was happenin;
in the House. â fis
He is so convinced of the pro-
priety âof this arrangement that
he did not bother to consult the
House of Commons about it.
Parliament has always resisted
any proposal that people should
be able to hear tits proceedings
without being present for the pur-
pose.
FIRST EXCEPTION
Mr. Diefenbaker apparently
took it for granted that no one
would mind his being the first
exception to the rule. Parliament
found out through the report of
an enterprising newspaperman.
Certainly the Prime Minister
has much to do that must be done
from his office. But many of his
Ministers are in much the same
position. For that maiiter, many
backbenchers have duties that
they cannot dischange while fmey
are in the Commions taking part
in the debates.
if it ig alll night for Mr. Die-
fenbaker to do two things at once,
sufely there is no reason why
other members of Parliament
should be denied the same priv-
ilege. Let all MP.s he given loud-
speakens in their oiffices and there
will be no need for amyone to be
in the chamber at all, except the
member speawing and, perhaps,
Mr. Speaker â although his dut-
~ would be somewhat. diminish
Better still, in this age of elec-
tronic marvels it should not be
too difficult to install a closed te-
levision cincuit between. aill mem-
bersâ homes right across the coun--
try. Then they can talk back and
forth at any hour of the day or
night without leaving the comfort
of their own firesides and con-
stituencies: and there will be no
need for Parliament to meet at
ail.
