Time To End Apathy

In th as e days when men’: thoughts turn easiest to summer’s pleasures—-to the lura of the high- ways. the beaches and all the ‘de- lights to be found in the vacation- lng mood—it sometimes seems that Canadians have erased from memory (or at least from their present thoughts) all the problems that were left unresolved by the federal elect- ion of June 18.

If any great shock was Pmduced by the semi-stalemate result of that e1ection—by the revelation six days later of a crisis in foreign settle- ments which had been kept ¢%_11‘°‘ fully under wraps»-—by thfi implica- tion that the government had won oven a minority victory Only through s. measure of campaigning fralld-‘ that shock appears by HOW t0 have given way to a feeling of near-com- placency.

Among Conservatives, if th e Y touch on such matters at all, the talk has turned to hanging on in office—to the t h o u g h t that the political f i n e s s e of their «leader. Prime Minister Diefenbaker, in a parliamentary juggling ad: will keep them in power—to the hope that conditions will get better before it is necessary to go to the P901315 again, and that, perchance, the nam- ing of Wallace McCutcheon, one of Canada’s most successful financiers. to the Senate and the cabinet. will be followed by some early economic miracle.

And even among non-Consc1‘\'a- tives, little of the talk to be heard is much more aggressive. There is 2. leaning toward the view that almost anything is better than another gen- eral election in the near future. If any anger. any moral amusement, has been left by the way in which prre-election pretences and decept- ions contributed to the p r e s e n t situation, they have become strange- Iy invisible.

It is easy to find those who will- aay: “Gee! the election was close; wonder what will happen next,” but hard to find those who will declare themselves as to what should hap- pen next.

One explanation given for the prevailing mood is that the people have turned “from excessive ex- pectation (before the election) to excessive cynicism."

Perhaps. If so, it is well that the opening of the new session of Par- liament has been set for Sept. 27. It will bring a quick testing of con- fidence in the government-—some- thing that needs most urgently to be lcnown—-and at least bring Cana- dians back in touch with realities

7 about what lies ahead for Canada.

There has been no satisfactory

contact with those realities since

' " the last parliamentary session was . with the call for the June 18 . jjalection.

Canada can afford anything

’ b I t t e 1' than continuation of the

ff fluent apathy.

Strengthening A Link

_ United States President Ken- ’, who spent the weekend in

' flnnswick, Maine, not far from the

Gsnadisn border in New Brunswick,

naulsummu uomawnennaaomu indulge to his heart's content in the sailing of his small yacht, for Franklin D. Roosevelt loved the sea.

President Kennedy, in suggest- ing that a memorial park be estab- lished on the former Roosevelt home on Campobello Island, said that such a. park “will remind both Canada and the United States of a very strong and vigorous believer in the life of the people in this section.”

There is little doubt but that President Kennedy’s idea will meet with the approval of both the Cana- dian government and that of the province of New Brunswick.

For possibly no other president of the United States has ever shown a stronger friendship for the Cana- dian people than tha man, who, summer after aummer—even be- fore he became President—spent several weeks fishing and sailing in Passamaquoddy Bay with his home on Campobello Island as his base.

In the heart of London, there is a monument to Abraham Lincoln because “he belonged to the ages."

A Canadian monument to Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, in the form of a park on Campobello Island would be equally appropriate.

Strictly Home-Grown

Whileextending good wishes to Premier Shaw today. following his entry into hospital yesterday to face surgery, this also may be a good time to reclaim him for his native province by rejecting the label given him as the “Scottish-born premier,” in the current issue of Weekend Magazine.

There is, true enough, much of the Scot in Premier Shaw, through parentage and in character, but it is strictly an Island version. Even the fact that he is in hospital does not lessen the premier’s stan""'-g as one of the healthiest of this prov- ince's home-grown products.

May his swift recovery strengthen that standing. Those best acquainted with his condition are confidently predicting that re- sult.

Tightening The Screws Apparently the conference of prov- incial premiers, which met recently in Victoria, B.C., devoted a great deal of thought to the question of how to collect a sales tax from people who have goods shipped to them from outside their home province. According to Premier Lesage. of Quebec. as chairman of the conference. large amounts of revenue are being lost in this way. While it is natural for the prov- inces to attempt to plug such loop- holes as they are discovered, the suggestion arises that such steps as have been proposed would amount to erecting provincial barriers to in- terprovincial trade, in violation of the terms of Confederation. Whether or not this question needs to be faced, it is interesting to have a reminder that two prov- inces—Manitoba and Alberta- still manage to remain solvent with- out resort to the unpleasantness of the sales tax. It would be nice if the other provinces could learn their secret. instead of devoting so much of their attention to the study of ways of tightening the screws.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A Newfoundland court has been asked to decide whether the contents of a magazine titillate (“excite plea- santly; stimulate agreeably"), are risque (somewhat improper") or obscene (“impure, filthy, vile”). Under Canadian law there is no ban against a publication being risque or titil-lating. no matter how high a degree of sophistication it may show, unless its contents also are found to constitute “undue exploit- ation of sex."

Ontario clings to the habit of forgetting the existence of Prince Edward Island. On Sunday, speak-

- ing over CBC. Norman DePoe, said

that Newfoimdlapd, since it has no member in.the newest federal cab- inet, has become the first province since Confederation to be left with- out cabinet representation. But it has been almost the exception, rather than the rule. for this prov- ince .to have such representation. Then the current Star Weekly says that “every province now permits” sale of margarine, which certainly isn't true of the Island, no matter howmuch of it creeps into usohara,

without benefit of legal sanction.

OUR WONDERFUL TW

l~lTlETH CENTURY

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson A Hunger For Creative Leadership

From our Garden Province in J the east, to that other mellowed pretty island off our Pacific Coast, Canadian homes alll share one thing: that combina- tlon utility-room play-room and rumpus-room of e outdoors which we call our backyard.

By 9.30 every Monday morn- = ing. our backyards make up a 2 3.000 mile line of fresh washed 1 clothes. On these hot midsum- mer afternoons. swings and sandboxes and plastic pools convert them into children‘s playgrounds.

Here in Ottawa a token row of tomato plants and maybe a bed of pansies nurtured with 3 slaughterhouse blood give lip-: service to the customs of our pioneer days before vegetables came from groceterias.

But perhaps more significant- ly in Ottawa than in all those other backyards. the group of garden chairs converts the secluded terrace into a private evening parliament. There the affairs of the nation are enthu- siastically and imaginatively batted to and fro by politicians. diplomats. civil servants a nd the great miscellany of resi- dents and visitors whose inter- ests centre around Parliament Hill.

WEST NEEDS LEADERS

Yet while our statesmen pro- claim lhe strength of our al- liance and our urgent need for interdependence. they are com- pelled by domestic political cri- ses to slit each others throats as soon as the applause dies down. To wit. on July 4. Ken- nedy called for a great Western trade; the following week his high resolve was splintered by the pressures of U.S. lumber- men protesting against the ex- pansion of Canada's lu m b er trade.

To one man only. this is a ll welcome. In the faraway Krem- lin. Nikita Khruschev sees the gradual fulfilment of this wild and unlikely prediction that the powerful wesi-‘rn countries would contrive their own col- lapse.

Despite our great Western ad-

vantages, our long start, ou r ‘ l immense resources of material | g and brains, our huge lead in 1 major economic indices. we of 5 the West are now wallowing like ‘ an elephant which has suddenly come upon an uphill glacier, while our foe streaks ahead like , a young gazelle on a well-pre- , pared cinder track. ] The people of Canada. Of- .jtawa‘s private evening parlia- lments concede. are aware of ; our troubles. aware of our sins .of commission and ommisslon '. over sixteen post-war years. By ; their votes in June. the people ‘ of Canada told Conservatives ‘, and Liberals to go back to the ‘ drawing board to create :1 e w j platforms. They are hungry for 3 bold creative leadership. such as the sickly Sixties now de- L mand. Any political p a r t y which awakes to this need will ‘ sweep the country in the next . election.

Two tragedies in the news— -

those of the drug thalidomide

and of Marilyn Monroe— are ‘ . linked in a degree by the exor-

Dr. Herbert Ratner, dlstributee by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institu- tions and published in this news- paper July 13 and 14. Dr. Rat- ner said, at one point.

Many persons also have found it is easy to lose 5 pounds by drinking a glass of Metrecal or allied product for breakfast and lunch and eating the usual evening dinner. This plan is followed for a week or 10 days until the desired loss of weight is obtained.

Fasting for intermittent rlods is an alternative. This better tolerated by some per- sons than attempting to eat a little. Fasting has been ticecl since ancient times to tlsfy religious, social, or per- sonal aims.
