'11 ‘quality to some of tlie addresses recently de- fivugd in‘ Canada and the United States by

i Mai-Gen. Brock G. Chisholm, Canada's 1X1)‘ uty Minister of Health and Welfare, says the Montreal Gazelle. _

“Few indeed would feel at all disposed t0 differwith Dr. Chisholm in his conviction that gnly a drastic change in our ways of thouzht iwill save us from self-destruction. _B_ut there

i l: wider scope for difference of opinion with " regard to the changes which Dr. Chisholm _ i0 ses. , p pglt appears to he Dr. Cliiaholrrrs hclief that we have lwcn so manifestly mistaken in um- idga5 nf right and wrong that we should -refrain from passing our ideas on to our chil- _‘ dren. Our children should have no concep- ‘ » tions of guilt or fear through any influcnce of " \urs. . “‘.»\s long its children are giver! H1165 l0 guide their living,’ he says, ‘then so 10112 31¢ . 1 parents hastening the death of the human _ race, They must not have their thinking

i crippled hv being taught the princiPlQS 0i WP‘

7 posed right and wrong.’

d “Dr. Chisholm believes that our children,

by being taught on the basis of right and wrong, ‘i’ ‘._are being educated to thrust from their miHdS iauy unpleasant aspects of living. They must be brought up on the strict basis of reality, free from escapism.

“Certainly nn one would have cause, or indeed grounds, for suggesting that we have not tragically failed to find the way to a peace- t ‘I fiil organization of society. But can we ascribe i our failure to our false ideas of right or wrong?

\V¢ have indeed been escapists. But have we

not been trying to escape, on a mass scale, from

ideas of conduct ivhicli are right and which we '1 know to he right, but which we are unwilling to make the effort or sacrifice to follow?

“Perhaps the need is not to stand aside and ask our children to g0 seeking for new moral concepts. It may be, rather, to seek in them, as in ourselves, a deeper devotion to what. is quite real and true, but from which, for this ~\. very reason, we have turned aside. The failure i of our age is not error of thought but sel- fishness in conduct; not illusions in concepts, but faithlessness in action.

1 “And if we were indeed to leave oui

children free to form new" standards of right l and ivrong, what surety would there be that

their standards would be higher and not lower, more exacting and not more indulgent, more " charitable and not mOre wilful?

“Somewhat similar doubts follow Dr. Chisholm’s further suggestion that the strict basis of reality requires an abandonment of all the fanciful and poetical teachings which have hitherto accompanied childhood.

"t, "Indeed, Dr. Chisholm claims that ‘any man who tells his son that the sun goes to bed at night is Contributing directly to the next war,’ while ‘any child who believes in Santa Claus has had his ability to think perman- ently destroyed.’

“Yet ‘the strict basis of reality,‘ to which Dr. Chisholm makes such frequent reference, ll perhaps not capable of so rigid an ap- preach. Reality is a very big subject, and hardly capable of ‘strict’ definition. The mat- ter was put very neatly some sixty Ytars ago in a passage by john Henry Newman.

“ ‘While we talk logic, we are unanswer- able," said Newman; ‘but then, on the other hand, t is universal living scene of things is after all as little a logical world as it is a poet- ical; zind, as it cannot ivithout violence be ex- alted into poetical perfection, neither can it he attentuated into a logical formula.’

"Undoubtedly Dr. Chisholm is performing a useful role in stimulating people to think. Bu! _ it may possibly be questioned whether our tra- f git difficulties have not come about because ‘ we have departed too far from allegiance to our traditional standards of right and wrong, and from losing too greatly our sense of that mysterious wonder which gives human life so much of its dignity and splendor.”

British trade statistics for the months of _l11ly and August I945 show that in these two months, goods to the value of about 8 million P0111145 ($37:440.000) have been exported for the relief of Europe. In these two months, British exports in general have shown an in- crease.
