Strong Frederation Brief
For several years the Canadian
Teachers’ Federation has been
campaigning against the severe im-
balance of educational opportunities
in Canada. It realizes that the mak-
ing of laws in relation to education
is the exclusive right of the provin-
¢ial governments. But it maintains
that the inequalities which exist are
due chiefly to the unequal distribut-
ion of economic resources among the
provinces, that this is a matter of
direct concern to the Federal Gov-
ernment and that it not only may
but must, display initiative in com-
ing to grips with the problem.

The Federation has marshalled
its arguments on this subject in the
form of a brief which it presented
yesterday to Prime Minister Pear-
son and members of his government.
It is a comprehensive document,
running to over a dozen typed pages,
and it presents a strong case indeed
for the assumption of federal re-
sponsibility in this field.

Noted among other things is the
fact that the proportion of teachers
with university degrees—an im-
portant indicator of the level of the
qualifications of the teaching force
varies from 37 percent in one prov-
ince to only 7.7 in another. The
latter figure is for Prince Edward
Island, as given in a 1961-62 statis-
titical report. The percentage for all
Canada is 28.2, which indicates how
greatly we are handicapped here in
this respect.

The brief urges that the Federal
Government take the initiative in
ealling a meeting of provincial min-
isters of education, their advisor
and those national bodies most vital-
ly concerned, with a view to seeking
means of alleviating the educational
inequalities which now exist. It re-
quests, further, that at the federal-
provincial conference which is to be
held during the week of November
25, the Federal Government seek
agreement for such a meeting.

Prime Minister Pearson has indic-
ated, disappointingly, that he feels
the initiative should come from the
provinces, not from Ottawa, in this
matter. Yet Ottawa has already
taken the initiative in promoting
technical training, without usurping
the control vested in the provinces.
Why cannot educational aid be work-
ed out in the same manner?
< The Federation and its provincial
affiliates offer to cooperate fully in
seeking a solution ‘» this problem,
which it presents as a matter of na-
tional urgency and importance. As
indeed it is. Educational costs are
expected to double in the next dec-
ade, and what will the situation be
then if the issue is not faced?

~ Corny Performance
~ The Canadian Press reports that
there were cries of “resign! resign!”
r the House of Commons vote
of 128 to 60 in support of a New
Democratic Party motion urging the
Go to greater
and cooperation with the provinces
in federal-provincial affairs. Think
of that, now!
The motion was an amendment
a Conservative non-confidence
Motion and Opposition Leader Dief-
enbaker claimed that by supporting
t the Liberals were “voting them-
ves out of office.” Prime Minister
maintained that the amend-
tt was clearly not a non-confi-
one but merely “an affirma-
of a principle acceptable to the
ent,” which he was very
to sttpport.
Government is said to have
its for its attitude in this

regardless of that; what

| purpose is served by all this wrang- |

ing over motions of non-confidence
that are as phoney as a plugged
nickel? The time wasted on this kind
dow boxing has kept the prop-
siness of the House at a stand-

Nor is it doing anything to ad-
vance the prestige of the Opposition
parties; for the public is well aware
that at $18,000 a year there are
precious few members of any group
who would like to see a government
defeat that would force another
general election at this time, with
the consequent uncertainty as to
their own fate at the polls.

Between too much empty talk,
too much absenteeism and too little
the Commons is making a
sorry record for itself. As noted by
an exchange, the situation is such
that even the upper house, the Sen-
ate, is feeling the pinch. On one day
last week the Senate met for 20
minutes and then adjourned, the
members having nothing to do. They
are still waiting for the Commons
to dish out some legislation that
they can get their teeth into.

If a show of this kind ever went
on the road, it would soon come to
grief through lack of public support.
Why can’t our elected members real-
ize that there is no longer a public
for outmoded melodrama at Ottawa,
and get down to business? Let them
forget about trying to “split the ears
of the groundlings” with such cries
as “resign! resign!” There aren't
any more groundlings left to be im-
pressed by such antics, so far as
we can gather from the comments
on their performance.

Science Still Baffled

Cold weather is just around the
corner, and so—we are reminded by
the Health League of Canada—is
the weather for colds. The League,
like a Job’s comforter, reminds us
that sometime in the next few
months even the healthiest of us can
be laid low by that most common
complaint. And, in spite of the great
advances in the field of medicine and
science, there is nothing much we
can do about it.

A lot of us will spend money for
pills, sprays, “shots”, and cure-alls;
but whatever the remedy, it will
still take one week to get rid of a
cold if you treat it and seven days
for it to run its course if you leave
it alone. The only “common-sense
suggestions” the League has to of-
fer are: stay at home and, if pos-
sible, in bed. Drink plenty of liquids,
take aspirin for discomfort, keep
warm, and gargle to ease a sore
throat.

For the benefit of those who
want a reason for everything, here
is the American Medical Associa-
tion’s explanation of why cure-a
can’t cure a common cold:

“Present information leads us to
believe that the common cold is a
group of infections caused by a num-
ber of different but closely related
viruses. These diseases have in com-
mon the fact that the incubation per-
iod is short—from one to four days
—and the symptoms are scratchy
throat and cough, headache and oc-
casional fever. The cold itself lasts
from three to six days, longer only
if complications develop. A vaccine
to protect against colds would have
to include each of the different vir-
uses responsible. Scientists are not
yet certain how many different vir-

A Most Undesirable Precedent

Parliament Hill has been hear-)

eral belief in the divine right of
a Liberal government. That be-
lief was put into words in Parlia-
ment by the late C.D. Howe in
his famed comment. “Who's to
stop us?” — a phrase crystatliz-

ing the democratic heresy of the
Liberal government of that day, |
which led surely to its downfall.

The 1963 evidence of this Lib-|
eral conceit stems from the Nor-
ris Commi

made by Parliament

FOG OF CONFUSION

the Minister of Justice, in reply-
ing to a barrage of questions
over several days, wrapped the
whole episode in a foz of confus.
ing and incomplete answers.

On 31 October, the former Con- |
servative Minister of Labour,
Hon. Mike Starr, started things
by asking Mr. Chevrier if the
laying of any charges were justi-
fied by investigations into the
evidence heard by the Norris
Commission. Mr. Chevrier re-
plied that a charge “has been

ainst Hal Banks for con-
to commit an assault oc-
harm upon Cap-

tain Walsh
A rat was smelled by E1don

Woolliams, the astute Calgary
lawyer and Tory MP. He
launched an attack against Mr

Chevrier which lasted several
days, Mr. Chevrier retired be-

hind the exe use that his ques-
tioning was “out of order”. Mr.

Woolliams persisted, and de-

manded why Banks had been)

altowed to disappear, and why,
he had not been brought before

the bar of justice. Mr. Chevrier
gave the misleading reply th ac
“the charge against Mr. Banks
was laid on 23 October, and
search warrants were issued on
31 October.” He refused to say
whether an arrest warrant had
been issued and whether any
effort was being made to appre-
hend Banks.

‘The next day Eldon Woolliams
was on his feet again, booming
out the information which Mr. |
Chevrier had refused, but which |
Woolliams had now obtained
from the court house records.

On 23 October, information
was laid not only against Banks
but, as Chevrier had not volun- |
teered, against three other men|
also, charging that they conspi-
red to commit bodily harm,
mediately after the laying of
that information, again as Chev-
rier had refused to divulge, war-
rants were issued for their ar-
rest.

Later, Parliament was told by
Chevrier that “the RCMP were
directed not to execute the war-
rant pending further instruc-
tions.” Again the questioning
rightly became insistent. Who
issued these orders to the
RCMP. Mr. Chevrier finally ad.
mitted “The Minister of Justice
did,” meaning *

He was then asked point blank

under what authority he acted]
in suspending for 13 days
(Banks was arrested on Novem
her 4) the execution of the
rest warrant against Banks. He| ¢
could not reply; there was no|
reply. He weakly said “I think|
there is a responsibility and a
duty on the part of the Minister |
of Jurtice to/ack in| the| best inte- |
rests of the public.”

But pee has not given |
the Minister of Justice discretio-
nary power to overrule the 1 a w |
of the land in any interests. Par-|
liament has given the judges
authority to issue orders to the}
peace officers fo) arrest a person| ©
“forthwith” ich means at |
once, not 13 days later. The At-|
torney General, the senior 1 aw
officer of the Crown, had or-
dered the police to ignore a
judge's order, The Commi
sioner of the RCMP would have
been entirely justified in resign-|
ing forthwith in protest.

This was a suspension of the
normal process of justice by the
Minister of Justice without
authority. Suspension of the pro-
cess of justice is the first act
of any dictator usurping demo-
cratic authority. The Minister of
Justice of Canada has set a most
undesirable precedent. Worse,
he has raised again echoes of|
that arrogant ery “Who's to stop |
us?”

of thet money these campers

I must say that it was the park

that there are private camp

PLEA FOR
The prime minister also em-
phasized the importance to Can-
American understanding
of Canadian industry and other
Canadian affairs. While, he
said, some new Canadian polity
might in some respects hurt
American industry, an ill-con-
sidered move by Washington or
the American business commu:
nity could not just hurt but
actually ruin Canada.

‘As one correspondent noted,
this caused hardly a ripple of
understanding in the audience.

In his private talks with
business leaders, it was
expected would be
confronted with strong com:
plaints against his govern.
ment’s proposals to give special
tax treatment to foreign firms
which permit a moderate de-
gree of Canadian ownership of
their Canadian branches, and
similar measures for Canadian
industry.

However, an informant said,
Mr. Pearson was pleasartly
surprised at the reaction of
business leaders he met at a
