.And Now To Business! The bitter debate on the Throne Speech ended in the House of Com-

- mons last night. the division on the

address in reply revealing once dgain an alignment of parties in which Social Credit voted to sustain the Diefenbaker administration, while the New Democrats support- ed the Liberal opposition against it. Everybody must have known what the outcome would be. after the four successive failurcs of the op- position parties to unite in forcing another general election.

Notwitlistanding all the bellicose gestures in which Mr. Pearson and his followers have beeri indUl$I- ing since Parliament met. it is not at all certain that they were really spoiling for a fight at this time. Spokesmen for other parties, at any rate, have insisted that the Liberal assaults were mere window-dress- ing——-staged in the pretty sure knowledge that they wouldn't suc- ceed in their avowed purpose.

In drafting their second non- confidence motion, for example, it is known that the Liberal strate- gists considered, then discarded, a. motion that might well have com- manded the support of the hitherto reluctant Social Crediters. For many weeks Socred Leader Thompson and (‘o—leader Caouette have insisted that they would be compelled to Vote against the government in any par- liamentary showdown over the gov- ernment's austerity and tight money policies.

The Liberals, instead. chose a. motion questioning only the con- stitutionality of adopting these measures by order-in-council. It was apparent in advance that this line of attack would have few at- tractions for the Socreds. Indeed Mr. Thompson made it clear. before the vote was put, that his party would not support it.

What about the New Democrats? It is equally doubtful whether they would have voted with the Liberals against the government if they had not already seen that it was going to be saved by Social Credit. And the Social Creditors. on their own non+‘onfidci’:ce motion, s u r e l y couldn’t have expected the other parties to vote with them!

No one, of course. can be sure that the government will not fall by accident at any time, leaving us plunged in a pre-Christmas election that nobody wants, or should want. But now that the boys have finish- ed their selling-up exercises, and worked up a good appetite for the hard chores of the session, let us hope that they’ll get down to them without further loss of time. It was quite a. show the_v put on while it lasted; but like everything else of

’ its kind. it stated with repetition.

rm-given for the rioting first Mr. Meredith's admission to the uni- versity occasioned. A small minor- ity of the faculty members have protested against the actions of Governor ‘Barnett nd their iwn university officials. On their own admission the professors who sign- ed this protest. or were prepared to support it, formed no more than 15 per cent of the total faculty. The rest were still afraid or else they ~iiuccrcl_v believed in segregation.

It is recalled that in 1932 the University of Mississippi lost its accreditation when the notorious Governor Theodore Bilbo fired two dozen professors and replaced them with political backs of his own choos- ing. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools is now investi- gating the university to find out if Governor Barnett’s interference with the university amounts to in- excusable meddling. Loss of accred- itation would make the university a fourth-grade institution with no standing outside Mississippi itself.

The New York Times reports, significantly. the visit to the Missis- sippi campus of four students at the University of South Carolina, who drove all night to look over the wreckage and talk to federal and state officials. They explained that they wanted to report back what had happened. so that it would not happen in South Carolina.

Wide Implications

Some measure of the -. ,' ., powers given President Kennedy under the new Trade Expansion Act can be gathered from the fact that, formerly, his authority to re- duce tariffs was limited to 20 per cent. The new program gives him the power to cut tariffs in half on his own authority, and to eliminate tariffs altogether on those com- modities on which 80 per cent of the world's trade is jointly conducted by the United States and the Euro- pean Common Market.

One point is of special signific- ance to those concerned about the impact of increased European com- petition. The President and Con- gress have jointly recognized that the nation must take special care of those who must bear the brunt of this challenge, As a result, all workmen affected by the change will receive higher relief payments than are normally provided.

This trade program, which has now been given final passage, is viewed in many quarters as the sin- gle most important piece of legisla- tion to be indorsed by Congress since the approval of the Marshall plan. Just as the Marshall plan al- lowed a stricken Europe to regain its strength, so it is claimed for the new bill that it will make possible an unprecedented partnership be- tween the United States and the Common Market, giving the free world the chance to build increased prosperity on stronger foundations. All free countries will be the bene- ficiaries, but they must be prepared to accept a new spirit of competitive production if the plan is to fulfill its promise.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Trade Minister Hees maintains that our economy is "moving ahead very strongly indeed.” Since it has a far way to go, the stronger the better.

New discoveries of Roman ruins add archaeological interest to the German city of Regensburg on the Danube, formerly the strongest Roman bulwark on that river.

TROUBLE IN THE OPPOSITION CORNER

9_T_TAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson

Mr. Gordon's Book Under Fire

The text for the opening days of the Throne Speech debate in the House of Commons was ap- parently taken from the 31st chapter of the Book of Job. the 35th verse: “Behold, my desire

that mine adversary had writ- ten 2: book". ‘

In the interplay of politics, no weapon is used with m 0 re relish and more effectiveness than an adversary's own words;

litician who writes a book con- taining his own views is living dangerously.

The election campaign of 196? was Canada's first battle of the authors. Liberals Walter G (I r d o n and Jack Pickersgill, New Democrat Stan Knowles and Social Credlter Real Cfliouette were prominent among the political writers who battled their way into parliament.

So it happened that many Ml-< were able to make effcc- i live debating points in the l

Chamber. and derisive jokes in the corridors, about inconsis- tencies between the written word and the party dogma in many cases F.lRST—CLASS BEBATE

The Throne Speech debate soared in its early days to unu- sually vital, lively and quite ad- mirable heights. Prime Minis-§ fer Die-fembaker and Liberal ‘ ler der Pearson both made speeches which. in their respec- tive fields, were at least as goo as their best ever. Trade Min- isle-r Hees. Labour Minister Starr and Justice Minister Fle- ming, the Liberals‘ Lionel Che-

But more vividly. the words written by the newly-elected Li- beral from Toronto, Walter Gordon, came back repeatedly to bedevil his party.

Mr ordon has made his career on the brink of big bus- mess and on the fringe of influ- entlal Finance. He has now emerged onto the Liberal front bench in Parliament after long and important part-time la- bours in that particular Liber- al vineyard where they keep. their drawing-board. ,

From 1955 to 1957, he served as chairman of the Royal Com- l mision on Canadian economicl prospects. This produced a very I thorough survey and very dog- malic recommendations with; which the chairman was ob-l vlausly in full agreement. In

Mr. Starr pointed out that Mr. Gordon recommended govern- ment expenditures higher than the present level: how then can the Liberals criticise the gov- ernment for deficit financing? He drew attention to the cur- rent rate of creation of new jobs — double the rate predic- ated by the Gordon theories. Our economic expansion is t h r e a years ahead of the Gordon fore- cast. In these and similar points Mr. Starr emphasized that the government if which he is a member has done better than

So it came about that several MPs in diffferent parties, who adversary had written a book, indeed were able to show that their desire has been amply fulfilled.

African Changes By Carmen Cumming Canadian Preu Staff Writer

The news that still another part of Africa has reached in- dependent slatehood has an al- most-commonplace ring.

e political makeup of the continent has been changing so swiftly since the Second World War that the cumulative ef- fects of the changes sometimes go unnoticed.

But a series of events in the last few days point up one ef- fect: The mountlng opposition to white rule in any part of the continent.
