A Bill Of Rights
The introduction of a draft of
_ Bill of Rights by the Prime Minister
with the intention of leaving it over.

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be repealed not only explicitly but by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

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

-Resistance To Slogans
A psychologist attached to the

versity of Michigan has been doing
, Bome research into. consumersâ: re-:
action to high pressure salesman-
ship. His findings are interesting if
not particularly surprising.
The study showed that no amount
ef ââsloganisingââa fearful word
meaning the exaggerated use of
slogansâcanh persuade people to: buy
the things they think they donât
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, âdisturbâ 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 âbuy nowâ
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 âballyhooâ.
Their reaction was just the opposite
to what the sponsors intended. ;
In another instance the makers
of a certainâ 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

gans, take over that public resist-
ance takes on significanceâwhich,
of course, is a sign of sane thinking
on the part of the public.
Senate And Commons
In the only dispute in this yearâs
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.
âThe 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 Comnionsâ
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 âobstruc-
tionistâ 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,

Dr. A.A. Diamond, director of the
cabbage wilt is not the result of hot

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. âBy dis-
covering the biochemical pathways of
fungiâ, Dr. Diamond says, âscientists
hope to be able to introduce sustan-
ces into the plant that will cure dis-
ease.infecting it.â This would be an
improvement over disease, prevention

must be used before theâ disease actu-
ally takes hold.
It is hoped that the new âpillâ

be effective against wheat rust which |
costs American and. Canadian farm-
ers many millions of dollars annually.

The Railways are in a quandary.
They donât 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 boardâs 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

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. workâ for the
day, to meetings of the special
Commonwealth Conference Com-
confidence that talks will _pro-
duce very successful steps to-
wardsâ boosting trade betwe
members of the Commonwealth.
âThe 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 represenâ
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
â trading relations within the Com-
moniwealth will have a much wid-
er framework.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
âThere 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,â a senior
official working on the Conifer-
ence plans told me. f
Canadaâs 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 âfor
our exports.
Americans will âbuy from us
when jt suits them: It will never,
in the foreseeable future; â suit
them to buy such primary com-
modities as our wheat and our
fish. They donât 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 âproduction of these it-
âems tomorrowâif 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 âthe
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 ââdiversionââ;: 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
âcurrency 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 ââdivertââ
âOne 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?
âBut 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
âgood 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 badlyâ 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 weekâs confer
ence, our trade pattern may em-
erge,a year or two from now, in
a very much healthier shape than
today.

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 âset out in the
statement State Secretary Dulles
-issued Thursday after his confer-
at Eisenhowerâs vacation âhead-
quartrs at Newport, R.1, \
The statement was an if-and-
or-but sort of document which
shed no light on what the US.

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

would, or could, air stich views
without Eisenhower's prior know-
ledge.
TWO FACES
There are several theories
about the administnationâs 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 notâ
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 Chiangâs 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: :

itary decisions until after the
event reaches you.â . :

Uleer Victim
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 canât say for sure, of
course, since we donât 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. â
âFor example, we know thal an

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.
WHAT IS AN ULCER?
A peptic ulcer is a small break
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
âwill 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 painâ 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 canâ 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

He also has antacid powders.

A Bill Of Rights
The introduction of a draft of
_ Bill of Rights by the Prime Minister
with the intention of leaving it over.

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

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

not particularly surprising.
The study showed that no amount
ef ââsloganisingââa fearful word
meaning the exaggerated use of
slogansâcanh persuade people to: buy
the things they think they donât
need. This, of course, applies to
people in general; there are indivi-

they need it or not and whether they.
can afford it or not,
High interest rates, the study
showed, âdisturbâ 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 âbuy nowâ
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 âballyhooâ.
Their reaction was just the opposite
to what the sponsors intended. ;
In another instance the makers
of a certainâ 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

gans, take over that public resist-

of course, is a sign of sane thinking
on the part of the public.
Senate And Commons
In the only dispute in this yearâs
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.
âThe 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 Comnionsâ
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 âobstruc-
tionistâ 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,

sick animals, may be cured by a pill.

The Railways are in a quandary.
They donât feel like accepting the
recommendations of the Concilia-

they anxious to have the matter re-

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. workâ for the
day, to meetings of the special
Commonwealth Conference Com-
confidence that talks will _pro-
duce very successful steps to-
wardsâ boosting trade betwe
members of the Commonwealth.
âThe 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 represenâ
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
â trading relations within the Com-
moniwealth will have a much wid-
er framework.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
âThere 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,â a senior
official working on the Conifer-
ence plans told me. f
Canadaâs 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 âfor
our exports.
Americans will âbuy from us
when jt suits them: It will never,
in the foreseeable future; â suit
them to buy such primary com-
modities as our wheat and our
fish. They donât 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 âproduction of these it-
âems tomorrowâif 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 âthe
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 ââdiversionââ;: 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
âcurrency 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 ââdivertââ
âOne 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?
âBut 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
âgood 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 badlyâ 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 weekâs confer
ence, our trade pattern may em-
erge,a year or two from now, in
a very much healthier shape than
today.

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 âset out in the
statement State Secretary Dulles
-issued Thursday after his confer-
at Eisenhowerâs vacation âhead-
quartrs at Newport, R.1, \
The statement was an if-and-
or-but sort of document which
shed no light on what the US.

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 administnationâs 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 notâ
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 Chiangâs 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: :

itary decisions until after the
event reaches you.â . :

Uleer Victim
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 canât say for sure, of
course, since we donât 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. â
âFor example, we know thal an

He is tense,- aggressive, am-
bitious, anxious to get somewhere,

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.
WHAT IS AN ULCER?
A peptic ulcer is a small break
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
âwill 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 painâ 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

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 canâ 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
