More Shadow Boxing

As a (‘rnmlinn l‘ress story put it in our issue of yesterday. “a blis- tering attack on government polic- ies. from Opposition Leader Diefen- baker just before the vote. failed to rouse support; for his non-confi- dence motion from the other Op- position parties." This seemed a foregone conclusion; but since there is always a possibility of political calculations going astray. a mishap could have resulted in the motion going through. And then what?

How would the electors act to having another federal elec- tion forced upon them at this time? How many nu-mhors. even among Mr. Diefenlmkor‘s supporters. really hoped o precipitate a showdown at the polls'.‘

Tuesday‘s vote. as noted in our Story yesterday. was the sixth so far this session on which the future of the Government was at stake. Our prospects for busincs. stability as well. for what purpose would be served by having another electoral scramble just now? The Conserva- tives need more time to make an effective comeback. as their last Convention showed despite the in- dorsation given to Mr. Diefen- baker's continued leadership. The other Opposition parties haven’t a chance of carrying the country in the foreseeable future.

The Liberals would he the most likely gainers from a forced election: but it is doubtful whether they could obtain an overall majority. and we would almost certainly be back where we are, with the work of the. present Parliament disrupted. with millions of dollars needed for other purposes being spent in elec- tion campaigning. and a general state of confusion that would bene- fit nobody but party heelers.

The Government is open to criticism. and it is the Opposition‘s duty to go after it. hammer and tongs. But surely it is not necessary. in doing so. to keep the country in a continual state of suspense with motions of this kind.

Anti-Hate Bills

Before Parliament at present are two private incinl'iers‘ bills aimed at curbing “hate' literature. One. by Mr. Orlikovv. NDP member from Winnipeg. would prohibit the use of the mails .o send “anything that is calculated to bring into hatred. ridicule or contempt. any person or group of persons by reason of race. national origin. color or religion." The other. sponsored by Mr. M. L. Klein. a Montreal Liberal. would provide a maximum five-year term in prison for anyone publishing statements injurious to national. ethnic. racial or religious groups.

\Vell-intentinned as these reso- lutions are. suggests the Winnipeg Free Press. they could open up a Pandora‘s box of troubles if they

were ever translated into law. Would. for instance. Mr. Orlikow'e resolution prohibit. the sending

through the, mails of books contain- ing jokes about certain races? There are some people who delight In tell- ing jokes about their own race, in poking fun at their alleged national foibles.

Other people of the same race could. however, claim that this was calculated to bring the race in question into ridicule. Who is to fly where the line should be drawn ? Who. in the case of Mr. Klein’s pm-

poeal. is to judge at what point e.

i

"mm—uvv—su-upu- . .—

pretation of the contents of these resolutions could very well end up by muzzling legitimate comment or criticism.

Is it necessary for the govern- ment to do anything new to curb "hate" literature? The answer would appear to be No. As our Winnipeg contemporary points out. the Crim- inal (‘ode now contains what seems to be adequate safeguards against this kind of offence.

Section 166 says: “Every one who wilfully publishes a statement, tale or news that he knows is false and that callr‘PS or is likely to cause injury or mischief to a public in- tercst is guilty of an indictable of- fence and is liable to imprisonment for two years."

As far as use of the mails is con- cerned. section 153 says: "Every one commits an offence who makes use of the mails for the purpose of transmitting or delivering anything that is obscene. indecent, immoral or scurrilous . . .“ (An acceptable definition of scurrilous might be anything that is coarse. vulgar or which contains indecent abuse.)

Certainly no right-thinking per- son condones for a moment the slander of a racial or religious group. But. as in any case involving a decision on where liberty ends and license begins. the government would be well advised to take a look at the laws already on the books before contemplating any changes.

Hard To Keep Up

Perhaps if our federal politicians had spent more time explaining their financial problems when they boosted theii salaries at the last parliamentary session, they would have run into less public criticism. At any rate US. senators. seeking to revive a. pay hill just killed by the house. are larding their speeches with tales of Woe about the hard- ships of keeping up with the Jones's at Washington on the meagre 5522.500 annual salary members of congress get now. Take the case of Senator Douglas (Dem, III.) for example.

During 1963. the senator reports. he had to spend $2,515 of his own. money—Over and above his annual $307 mileage allowance—ho travel back and forth to Illinois. He spent another .2254 for radio and tele- vision tapes to keep in touch with constitutents and let them know his thoughts on legisation. Constituents who came to Washington and call- ed on him cost him $1.560 more, mainly for lunches he bought them.

Another $1.276 went for adver- tising. telegrams, various member- ships and subscriptions. And he gave $1,731 in contributions to political organizations—w h i c h be considered as much of a duty as contributions to churches and char- ity. Then he paid $3,830 in income taxes on his base salary and $1.687 for an annuity fund contribution.

That left pretty slim pickings. But the senator picked up $5.000 for lectures, $1,587 in dividends, $1.378 in capital gains, $231 in in- terest. $2,270 in annuities from the University of Chicago. where he had been a professor; $1.261 in other annuities, $750 for magazine and other writing and $30 in royal- ties on a book he wrote earlier. He was more fortunate in this regard than some of his colleagues.

At Ottawa it is cheaper to get by than at. Washington. but there are doubtless a lot of frills that have to come out of the indemnities our members get for their services. So they ganged up and took more. Being too shy. doubtless. or too considerate of our feelings. to tell us in advance about their painful struggles in keeping the wolf from the door!

FORUM

RE CITIZEN’S COMPLAINT

Sir.-—I read with deep con- ‘ cern the letter of Ephriam Stan- ley in your publication of March 24th. Mr. Stanley and others in the garbage collection business had by their industry. efficiency and co-operation. built up most enviable reputations a m o n 3 their customers. It was there- fore most desirable. in my opin. ion. that these people should con- tinue to serve the clientele they had built up over the years.

This is what would have taken place had the City been permit- ted to build its incinerator on the site purchased for that purpose. but the Provincial Government refused to give us the necessary permission to go ahead with this

program. Councillors Gormiey. Arsenault and I waited on the Minister of Municipal Affairs-

and were told that while permis- sion would not be granted to build on our property the Gov- ernment would give us permiss- ion to build on the present loca- tion and the Government would give the City that property free of charge.

There was. however. a condi- lion attached. The minister in- formed us that before we obtain- ed the land or the permission to build on it —— the City w o u l d have to agree in use collection trucks of the type ' used. We nointed these trucks were expensive this condition would probably result in putting people lik G Mr. Stanlev out of business. The Minister would not alter his de- cision.

We reported the results of our interview to the Council Councillor Gormley and I warn- ed the others "if" the demands of the government would probab- l_v result in a monopoly and that people who had given good ser- vice for years would be put out

of business. We even suggested abandoning the whole project and continuinz with the old sys- tem. After much discussion it was unanimoust decided that we had to ave an incinerator and that the only way we could have one was to do what the government told us.

Tenders were therefore called and the firm of Jenkins e n Clarke were the successful bid- dcrs. Not one of the people for- merly engaged In that business tendered

A contract was entered in i o with Jenkins and Clarke who agreed to employ any of the poo- plo who were put out of work as a result. Some of these people accepted their offer and are now working with them. I want Mr. Stanley to know that I will do everything I can to see that be is given the same opportun- ity as i know him to be a hard working and dependable man. I am sure the other Councillors feel the same way.

I am not writing this letter as

STUDENTS' DEMONSTRATION Sir, - We write in protest of your recent editorial regarding the P.W.C. protest march. We feel that the facts have not been clearly stated for presentation to the public. We feel it is our dilly as citizens and students. second, to present these facts exactly as they happened:

1. Contrary to editorial opin- ions exprcssed, this was entire- ly a student conceived demon- stration, under full direction of the Students' Council and was not associated with the college administration nor any political party.

2. The city police were con» tacted and informed of the na~ ture of the demonstration; we received police sanction and a police escort.

3. We proceeded in an ordciiy fashion up to the Legislative Building. as the police will tea- tilfy; and did not set foot upon legislative soil until invited to do so by a member of the Legis- lature.

4. To refuse such an Invitation would have been discourtesy ol the highest order; and thus we quietly filed into the Legislative Building.

5. At no time did the Speakei of the House indicate to the stu- dents that placards should not be seen in the gallery.

6. As for the Premier having difficulty continuing his and» dress. we say only that even though the students filled the gallery. strictest silence was observed by each one present. Again we emphasize that we were there only upon invitation.

7. The papers suggested that

4 there is something wrong with

the educational processes in PEI We agree. and this was the purpose of our demonstra- tlon. We disagree. however. with the implication that the ad- ministration _ college should have control over the ex- pressions of Its students“ opin- ions. We have the right to stile our case as have any citizens. We shall close by reminding you. Sir. that a society who to peaceful demonstrations are frowned upon is in serious dan- ger of losing its democracy. We are. Sir. etc. .ynn Maclenc Pres.

Oldest Living Things

National Geographic Society

More than 1,600 years before the Pyramids of Egypt were be. gun. a pine seed sprouted in the thin. rocky soil of California's White Mountains.

The seedling grew while Ham- murabi ruled the west Semitic kingdom of Babylon, during the Israe-lites' exodus from Egypt, and long after the Greeks be- sieged and captured Troy.

It still lives today. a gnarled. eroded and wind-polished bris- tlecone pine that Is at 4.600 years the oldest known living thing on earth. the National Geographic Society says.

JOURNEY TO THE PAST

Modern travelers. in their lat- est-model automobiles. may now ascend within a few miles of this Methuselah and Its com- pany of youngsters perhaps only 3,000 years old.

The bristlecone pines live on in solitary splendor in Inyo Na- tional Forest. near the Califor- nia-Nevada line. They are pro- tected by Federal law.

TWENTY - FIVE YEARS AGO (March 26. 1939)

Rising temperatures with a falling barometer brought prom- ise of rain to Prince Edward Is. lenders. March weather to date has been cold with the heaviest snowfall on the winter coming on the 14th of the month.

The CNR were investigating the possibility of introducing spe cial fares to persons desirous of visiting the Confederation cele- bration hem next July. it was announced A.A. Gardiner. Assistant General P a e s enger Traffic Manager.

TEN YEARS AGO (March 28. 1954)

At a special meeting of the City Council the appointment to the City Police Force of Regin- ald Mahar. made at a c ou nc1l meeting on March 8 was rescui ded on a vote of 5-3. Mayor Ste- wart presided at the meeting.

Chief Petty Officer Carl Riggs of Charlottetown returned home following a three weeks training cruise aboard the des-t :- o y e r HEMCS Mlcmac.

In the past two years. ro ed construction has made the for- est accessible to travelers. Pav- ed roads lead part of the way up the 11.000- to 12.000-foo l.- helghts where the trees grow. A graded dirt road covers most of the remaining distance to a for- est ranger's station.

The 4.600-year-old Methuselah is at the end of a two-mile path. Another trail. half a mile long. lehads to 4,300-year-old Pine Al- p a.

The Bristlecone Pine Forest covers 27,000 acres of Inyo Na- tional Forest. A special section containing the oldest trees has been designated the Edmund Schulman Memorial Grove in honor of the late scientist who established the age of the pines. He announced his findings in 1958 in the National Geographic Magazine. following a 20- year

Dr. Schulman studied climac. tic conditions of the prehistoric American West as recorded by three rings. which grow wider in wet years than in dry ones. By taking pencil- thin c ore s from the trunks of living and dead trees. Dr. Sc-hulman prov- ed that 17 of the bristlecon e s were more than 4,000 years old and one more than 4.600. He es- timated that among the untest- ed trees in the area, thousands were in the 3.000- to 4.000 -year bracket. By comparison the giant General Sherman in Seq- uoia Natnonal Forest is 3,500 years old.

To many visitors. the bristle- cones look like living driftwood. The trunks are not tall— 10 to 30 feet high—and are little in o r e than eroded. green- fringed stumps. Yet each tree possesses a tenacious lifeline, only a few Inches wide, of bark- covered tissue leading from partly bare roots to a thin crown of branch- es. The trees have survived sleet and sandstorms. extreme cold and heat. even fire.

These weathered old trees can

still produce offspring. The to- male cones are punpe and have sharply bristled scales. giving the species in common ame. Seedlings from a 1.500-year- old denizen grow an vigorously as those from a century- 0 d newcomer.
