    “Why 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 ’
    purpose. “But,” says the Monitor, “is

    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?” ;

    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 ‘in the area. So far
    it has mainly been engaged in encour-
    aging Arab nationalism’s 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 position—offering
    no workable solution—but 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 leader’s pro-

    ‘posals, and which we too feel is of

    overriding importance: “Naturally
    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 —
    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.”

    ‘New 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
    Britain—nvt a very impressive re-
    eord statisticaily—that is as much
    as it can expect. If—assuming it ever
    wins a federai election—it 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.

    Frankly—if Premier Douglas’ key

    though —

    speech at the present Convention ts a
    true indication of policy—we don’t
    fell that the new movement has start-
    ed out particularly well. Mr. Douglas
    claimed that the party’s first task is
    to combat “Tory reaction.” 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. MacMillan’s 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
    “misguided efforts” 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.
    “The 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, “there is no surer
    way of, ruining an individual’s life
    than by giving him such a spectre
    companion throughout life.” It com-
    mends the British Medical Associa-

    for purposes of cancer education. The
    best place for such education, it
    says, is in the doctor’s office.

    EDITORIAL NOTES

    It is tragic that the first United
    States’ 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 leader’s ego. He will take great
    satisfaction from it, ignoring the rea-

    nism by: European refugees now liv-

    ing in the States

    M.P’s from four Provinces—New
    Brunswick, Ontario, Saskatchewan
    and Alberta—told the Agriculture
    Committee of the Commons that the
    Federal Government should make
    more long-term credit available “to
    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-
    ‘ture Minister Harkness noted that no
    charge had been made against the
    man “because publicity for the de-
    partment was not deemed advisable.”
    Does this mean that federal employ-
    ment is a protection against prosecu-
    tion? That’s the way it sounds.

    submits the resolution recently pass-
    ed at its convention. The federation,
    which is made up of some 7:000 work-
    ing women, is asking for a fixed tax
    exemption of $1,000 for every woman,
    be she married or single, who has to
    hire help to look after her household

    while she is at work.

    THE MARCH OF PROGRESS —

    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
    ‘West. : : ; ;
    KEPT A BALANCE .

    Libya has a treaty of alliance
    with Britain and an agreement
    providing for the ‘use 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 agreements’ do not prevent
    ‘coups,’ 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 Government’s
    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: ‘Th 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.”

    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: ‘‘The 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.”’ :

    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. —

    On the other hand, the growth

    PUBLIC FORUM

    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,—With 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:
    “Tf you cannot say anything good
    about a person say nothing at
    all”, Well, I find that I can say
    nothing but ‘good’ 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. “Blessed 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.” (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

    ‘the same date in 1957. During |
    ‘the same perod,

    the monthly
    ‘payroll 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 these’ massive payrolls that it
    it must come. These payrolls
    have been described as “‘the
    deadweight of administra-
    tive cost?’

    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. :
    ‘ Tf the policy of engaging new
    civil servants were to be re-
    stricted, those who had been
    found superfluous ‘could 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
    ‘appear where their’ 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 to’ 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 — 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 “recommend.
    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
    ‘commission was appointed.

    get away with it.

    Who's The Family
    Boss At Bedtime?

    By Herman NM. Bundesen. M.D.
    YOUNGSTERS, just in case
    sore of you didn’t 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 they’re 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
    doesn’t, his next move most lik-
    ely will be to advise you threat-
    eningly that he has to go to the
    bathroom.

    HE’S GOT YOU

    If you answer this request—
    and most sarents don’t dare to
    ignore it.— 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 it’s likely’ to
    be more of a demand by now) is
    to ask: Ă©

    “What's that?’ Ă©

    If you fall for this one and ask
    him what was what, he'll reply
    that he heard ‘‘A noise.”

    Unless you let him know in no
    uncertain terms that you have

    -had enough of his monkey-shines,

    his next move—and you can al-
    most bet on it—will be to call for
    a handkerchief. -
    FURTHER REQUESTS |

    Then he will ask you to cover
    him, to straighten the bed-clothes
    and, finally, to ‘‘read me a story”

    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 ‘be-
    fore going to bed. Then, when he
    is put to bed, be firm with him.

    Don’t be bullied. ©

    ‘When 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

    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. ‘ fis

    He is so convinced of the pro-
    priety “of 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 — 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-
    bers’ 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.

    At the time of writing the sena-

    Ever since Duich elm disease
    was discovered in Maine sever-
    al years ago, the federal auth-
    orities have béeén watchful for its
    appearance in the Maritimes. It
    was found in some trees in Wood-
    stock, N.B. last fall, and now its
    appearance -has been noted at
    Pinder, N.B. This is disquieting.
    Dutch elm disease has caused
    great damage in New England,
    and its spread in New Brunswick
    a province celebrated for its bea-

    So far, there has been no report
    of the presence of Dutch .elm
    disease in Nova Scotia or Prince
    Edward Island. The disease has
    been found in the elm trees of
    parts of- Ontario and: Quebec for
    several years. It has not been
    found farther west than Wind-
