Important Brief

Mr. W. R. Shaw left this morning for Ottawa where he will assist in the preparation of an all-Canadian brief on fruits and vegetables to be presented to the Canadian Tariff Board on July 29. Mr. Shaw. who is chairman of the Potato Committee of the Canadian Horticultural Coun- cil, and I prominent member of its Tariff Committee, will direct his at- tention chiefly to the potato situa- tion, and will in all probability pre- sent the potato industry case for Canadian producers.

Mr. Shaw was mainly responsible for the preparation of the potato brief presented by the Canadian Horticultural Council to the Tariff Board hearings in 1953, and carried the main burden of the case with great credit before that body. His study of this matter during the past five years, through the potato and tariff committees of the Council, and his experience with the various potato interests across Canada place him in I favorable position to repre- sent the interests of the industry across the country and more parti- cularly in this Province. It is I compliment to be asked by the in- dustry ln the various provinces to assume this important role.

The present study of the effects of tariffs on the fruit and vegetable industry has developed as I result of an apparent demand for tariff revision, particularly on the seasonal level, and I request from the former Finance Minister. Mr. Harris. that the Board undertake a further study of certain tariff items and their re- lation to the industry in Canada. Specific attention in the potato in- dustry will be paid to the influence of the competition of new potatoes entering Canada free of duty. At- tention will also be directed to the situation relating to processed pota- toes, large quantities of which are entering Canada from the United States and displacing our own pro- ducts in the domestic market. A study will also be undertaken of the transportation problems. In addition to the main brief on potatoes eman- ating from the Tariff Committee of the Canadian Horticultural Council, it is expected that supplementary briefs will be presented from the various potato producing areas across the country.

It is sincerely to be hoped that more favorable conditions for our potato producers may result from the investigations and recommenda- tions to he submitted to the Tariff Board on July 29th. No doubt the Horticultural Council, supported by the Federation of Agriculture and other bodies, will later be making recommendations direct to the Fed- eral Government and to the author- ities negotiating through G.A.T.f. in relation to industry needs.

Lysenl(o's Cows

In the Stalin era Professor Tro- fim D. Lysenko, a gcncticist, was the dictator's right hand man in matters involving biological science. He rose to prominence by means of I very involved theory, the gist of which was that acquired character- istics could be inherited. Ile claimed to have proved that this was true of plIrit life; and apparently it plIIoed Mr. Stalin to believe that the same law applied to human life, mmebow to the greater glory of the Communist philosophy.

xden Ilioir! attic Breeding. This Is I much simpler theory than the other one. Its substance is that cows fed with enriched feed at calving time can be made to produce small calves which will grow into produc- ers of very high grade milk. The idea is to breed cows of high milk productivity with bulls of it smaller strain with I reputation for high butter fat content. Then, by pro- viding the cow with enriched feed it is possible to Influence the offspring in the direction of the bull's size but with I high potential milk output.

In short. what the professor says he can do is rI'ise cows which will give lots and lots of milk containing lots and lots of butter fat. All this is very pleasing to Soviet leaders who have vowed that by this No- vember Russia will be well on the way to surpassing the United States in volume of rich milk and other dairy products.

Britain's Story

Britain's traditional habit of hid- ing its light under I bushel and the fondness of Bi-itishers in general for understatements have served the nation's life and reputation well on more than one occasion. Both traits, however, can be and often have been overdone, so much so that people in other countries, especially perhaps in the United States, are unaware of the many ways in which Britain has led the world. So far as the United States is concerned, this situ- ation is to be corrected, if the pres- ent British ambassador. Sir Harold Caccia. can do it.

Sir Harold, who is now on leave, told a gathering in London the other day that when he told Americans that "Britain holds the official world speed records in the air, on land and water. discovered atomic nu- cleus and penicillin, pioneered tele- vision and the jet engine." the first reaction was "these things cannot be."

According to the Ambassador, some of the blame for this state of affairs must go to the British people themselves. "One minute I tell them the wonderful things we are doing, and the next we are saying we are broke. One minute we have a great empire. the next we are giving it away." "But." he added, "I have complete faith in the future of Anglo-American relations provided Britain speaks out about Britain."

This is something new in diplo- matic language, but it is high time it were used in telling Britain's story. Britain's admirers the world over-and their name still is legion -will wish the Ambassador well in the telling

RIVER T O CROSS

Order In Immigration

Winnipeg Free Press

The llcpartmenl of Immigra- tion is apparently soon to come under the scrutiny of the new min- islers at Ottawa. Mr. Diefcnbaker and his collagues are said to be planning I sweeping revision of immigration regulations. That is welcome news, for the correction of some of the glaring defects in the method of handling applications from prospective immigrants is long overdue. For years the de- pIrtmenl's regulations and the we they are administered have

een the subject of widespread criticism by the courts by lawyers Ind by ordinary citizens.

Nearly three years ago I sub- committee of the Canadian Bar Association had harsh things to say about the immigration depart- ment. The criticism wIs the result of arbitrary decisions made by departmental officials. some of which seemed unfair Ind many of which certainly had no Ip- parent reason or logfc behind them. The officials themselves were not to blame. They iackd - and still lack - clear, de- fined instructions on which to make up Ihcir minds whether to admit an immigrant or not. With nnlhinlz but vague "state- ments of policy to goon. it is not surprising that anomalies Ind injustices resulted.

REPEALED CRITICISM The following year, that is in

l meantime towards

1955. the Bar Association repeat- ed much of its previous criticism. But little has been done in the implementing the chsnges suggested by the law- yers. True, Mr. Plckersglll, the former Minister of Immigration. Ippesred to accede to one request - the establishment of I board to which rejected immig nllul could Ippeal their cases instead of ap- pealing directly to him. But of the board's members only one was appointed from outside 'the de- partment. Tllll has meant in practice that decisions made by officials of the department have been reviewed by other officials of the same department - thus mak- ing nonsense of the quasi-judicial function of the bond.

The chnnges that the Dialed- baker government is reported to have in mind are Ilong the general lines of the -nommendations of the Bar Association. instead of vague poll y decisrstlons, proce- dures will estnbllshed to hsndle applications from immigrnnls. The Minister will no longer be per- sonally responslbie for the final decision on every use handled by the Department: broad Principles will be laid down Ind officials will be guided by these in making their decisions.

These files would be used by officers of the department in making their de- cisions and would also be avail- able to would-be immignnls or their counsel so thIt they would have an idea of the treatment their application is likely to receive.

Changes of this kind, to bring some order out of the present stIte of confusion in which the depIrt- mnt operates. can be of much val- ue. There is, however. I danger that. having everything set out in black and white, officials may tend to go "by the book” Iloiie. That would be unfortunate Ind could lead to injustices quite Is bId Is some that hIve resulted in put years from the Irbltrary ex- ercise of judgement by department officials. A blanket rule. rigidly Ind blindly applied, could eas- ily result in unfair and unjust treatment of Inlmmigrant. Rules are necessary and desirable: but they whould be flexible enough to be tempered with humInity when necessary.
