No Time For Hedging

Under Opposition pressure. .lust- ice Minister Favreaii has broaden. ed the scope. of the judicial inquiry he proposes to institute into the charges of bribery and Coercion against three of the Government's ministerial assistants. it is to be hoped that the new terms of ref- erence prove sufficiently wide'to cover all the allegations that have been made. The mistake was in hedging on this responsibility in the first place. The matter is far to serious to permit of tactics of this kind.

Nor was the Government in any position to allege. as Mr. Favreau did in a CBC interview on Tuesday night. that the whole thing was just Conservative “smear and in- nuendo.“ According to a dispatch from Ottawa yesterday. this cry has been taken up by other Liber- al MPs who claim that it is just an- other Tory attempt at “undermin- ing national unity." Such state- ments are in insult to the intelli- gence of every voter in the country.

All the Opposition parties have been insistent that the inquiry be broadened to cover the issue in all its ramifications. It, was their duty to do so, and the Government’s duty to comply. Nothing else would he acceptable to the public.

One of the strangest things about. this case is that the Prime Minister was kept. so long in the dark. Two cabinet ministers told the House—~—and Mr. Pearson con- firmed it.--thal, they had waited un- til this week to inform their chief of a months-old RCMP report in- volving his own parliamentary sec- retary and two top-level govern- ment officials in accusations of the gravest. kind. Not only did Mr. Favreau fail to inform Mr. Pearson of the matter, but he failed also to refer it, to the law officers of

the Crown. deciding on his own account. in consultation with the RCMP commissioner. that the

charges could not. be substantiated and therefore should not be laid.

No imputation has been made against Mr. Favreau's integrity in this instance. it. is against his in- competence in handling the matter that the Opposition fire has been directed. And surely. in the circum- stances. it. would have been wiser for the Government to have met this challenge head on by agreeing immediately to the kind of inquiry that was demanded. and even in- sisting that it. be made along the broadest lines.

Farm Labor Problem

Federal Agriculture Minister Hays has intimated that he is con- cerned about the farm labor prob- lem and proposes measures to rem- edy it which will be known before Christmas. His statement was giv- en in reply to a point raised by the Ontario agriculture minister. Mr. Stewart. at a. federal-provincial farm outlook conference this week.

Mr. Stewart’s point was to the effect that the farmer-employee image is somewhat tarnished in this country. He was impressed with this during a recent visit to Brit- ain when he was asked about the social security services available to firm workers in Canada. which did not compare favorably with those offered in Britain and Western Europe.

But as pointed out by the Ot- tha Journal. this is not the Can- Idian farmers' fault. Statistics presented It the conference showed

spell. are having their usual dif- ficulty in making ends meet.

Those who buy food know prices are high and have visions of the farmer garnering riches in the peace of the country side. But they are wide of the mark indeed. The young men who might have remain- ed on the farm in other generations have gone to better jobs in the city. Farmers have had to buy ex- pensive machinery to get their crops planted and harvested. It is said they work harder than they ever did in the horse age: horses had to stop for food. water and rest. but not the tractor.

Machinery. as spokesmen for the dairy industry told Mr. Stewart at the farm conference. can't do every- thing. The labor situation has reached the point where it is ser- iously threatening production. Of course. the solution can be assisted by making farm life more secure and comfortable for employees. Questions such as seasonal work, workmen's compensation and liv- ing accommodation are involved. But the farm owner is in no pos- ition to correct the situation unaid- ed.

Governments have a responsibil- ity here. and it is implied in the con- cern which the federal minister has expressed in the need for a new approach to the problem. Our farm- ers generally will be looking for- ward to the measures he is planning to present to the House of Com- mons in this connection. To be. ef- fective, they should be geared to the special requirements of each provinee—particularly to those

provinces in which mixed farming.

plays. as it does in Prince Edward Island. a major role in the provin- cial economy.

Tourist Prospects

At a tourist conference the other day. Prime Minister Pearson sug- gested that Canadians set their sights on a $2.000 million tourist industry by 1974. At the moment, the target appears to be. well out of range. Last year's tourist in- come was $602 million, less than one-third of the figure mentioned by Mr. Pearson. This year promises to be only slightly higher. It can be assumed, however. that Can- ada‘s centennial program and the 1967 World’s Fair in Montreal will result. in the biggest influx of vis— itors this country has ever seen, the majority of them from the Un- ited States.

(‘ertainly we have proven. in this province. that special efforts being gratifying results. This year's centennial celebrations gave a tremendous boost to our tourist trade. and we should be planning now to consolidate it in the years ahead. It may indeed have been our success which Mr. Pearson had in mind in his optimistic picture of Canada's tourist trade possibilities within the next decade.

As the Hamilton Spectator re.- marks in this connection, the trick will be to make the stay of our tourists so enjoyable that they will

want to come again. If Canada hopes to reap permanent results from the tourist harvest. there

will have to be more determin- ed e f f o r t. at hotels. restaurants and other service establishments to offer amenities at least on a par wit h those available elsewhere. And this applies as much to smal|~ er centres as, it does to Montreal or Toronto.

On A Big Scale

Some idea of how the fishing in- dustry is developing overseas may be gathered from the latest an- nouncement of the Ross Group, a British—based group which has built quite an empire of its own on the east: coast of Britain and has just completed negotiations for the con- cession of fishing rights along a strip in the Persian Gulf.

Negotiations. in association with a Labanon organization, were car- ried out with the Ruler of Sharjah, off the Trucial Coast. Now British trawlers are fishing in these foreign waters. They are equipped for pro- cessing and freezing the catch. in

'addition to sub-zero storage space

for a considerable tonnage of the packed product.

The Ross Group is advising all aspects of the operation in the Per— sian Gulf and is also responsible for marketing the catch. Incidentally. it was this group which first intro- duced the quick frozen chip in Brit- ain, and now has a slice in the 3 million tons of potatoes which are consumed in Britain each year.

The Crooked Salesman

London Free Press

There is an extremely simple solution for one problem cur- rently being investigated by the Ontario Legislature's Select Committee on Consumer Credit -—how to protect householders from unscrupulous. high-press- ure salesmen. In Great Brtialn. any sales contract signed in such circumstances is not valid until four days have elapsed.

South London's member, John White. questioning the sales manager of the Encyclopedia Britannica. got to the heart of the issue when he pointed out the company should not w i t h checking on sales contracts un- less it feared that the customer had been high-pressured.

Doooto-door selling. which

could be I perfectly legitimate occupation. is plagued with dis- honest Ialesmen who quote in- flated prices, make promises not shown on the contract. ex- tract exorbitant interest rates and misrepresent the aricle they are selling.

Most housewives are. no match for these shalples. They find they are irrevocably committed to long-term expenditures they frequently cannot afford. and there is no way the contract can legally be broken.

No honest company or sales- man would be injured by our adoption of the British law. which allows for a cooling-off period during which the heat of the salesman's oratory has dis- sipated and the cold financial truth stands revealed.

Who Murdered Napoleon?

MontreIl

Most people like a good mys-l tery story. especially one that is l true. And the new evidence in-l dictating that the Emperor Nap-l oleon was murdered with arse- nic will keep the mystery hounds busy for a long time to come.

A British scientist has an- nounced that tests were car- ried out on locks of NIpoleon‘I hair at Britain's nuclear re- search centre It I-IIrwell. These tests showed that arsenic had been administered to Napoleon over a lengthy period.

Needless to say. there have been angry denials. Bombshell: of this sort are seldom well re- ceived. Still. if it can deflnltely be shown that the.locks of hair really came from Napoleon's head. the question would Ice to be settled: he died from ur- senlc poisoning.

Who murdered him. and why? Unless further evidence can be found. the field seem: to be open to speculation. both Inform- ed Ind unlnformed. Already, the

finger of guilt is being pointed by some at Count Montholon, who was with NIpoleon on St. Rel- enI to the very end. He has gone faithful friend. But now he is getting a second look. News stories are pointing out that he received 2 million francs ln Napoleon's will.

Certainly. all the elements of the classic mystery Itory Ire present. incudlng the precise and isolated location and the limited cut of suspects. ‘

Face Expressions And Evolution

By Dr. Theodore R. VII Della-

Everyone over Ige 50 remem- bers the furor created by the Io- ca-lled monkey trial In Tenneuee in 1925. A young man. John T Scopes. was tried for teaching the theory of evolution in one of that state's public schooll. ClIr- ence Darrow. the famed Chic- ago lawyer. acted for the de- ‘ense. and Will‘am Jennlnl Bryan for the plaintiff.

This reaction to the subject

was nothing compared with the abuse suffered by Charles DIr- win when he first. propounded his theory of evolution. More re- cently. Dr. J ' Andrew of YIlt did some investigative work showing that facial expressions of humans go back to ref it re- sponses of animals. He concen- trated on gestures that probab- ly originated as protective reac- tions. including flattening of the ears. closing the eyes, and re- tracting the corners of lh mouth Lemurs. for example. retract the ears In the presence of danger. Monkeys and baboons do so. too. and the scalp Is well. , Man and apes are more likely to lower the eyebrows and draw them together when confronted with I threatening situation Contraction of a certain muscle in e mouth occurs in the how]- ing dog and the roaring lion. Human babies— before crying-— protrude the lower lip.

Grins are common in anim- als. They accompany hard biting as in defense or a‘ startle reflex. and attempts to vocalize. Le- murs grin as they wail in frus- tration or defense. Rhesus mon- keys grin silently when frighten- edz. other monkeys not only grin but make crackling noises when roughed-up in play. Man. chim- panzees, and gorillas grin when fearful. frustrated, or excited. Man grimaces when e fights and during physical exertion. Other primates raise a lip or close an eye in attempting to overcome an obstacle.

Smiles may be protective. as when an underling is c alle down by his superior. This is related to the stress grin when laboring over delicate machin- ery. The social: primates Indulge i in lip-smacking and exaggerat- ed facial movements Baboons I lip-smack not only in grooming but in greeting. in the same way that man smiles

These studies on facial ex- pressions as part of primate ev- olution may sound far-fetched in determining human behavior. Many facial expressions in pri- mates are not caused by specif- ic conditions. drives. pleasure. or unpleasant feelings. But as reactions to selective pressures. they will help our understanding of why we tick.

ROVING BACTERIA

Mrs. DB. writes: What is I pseudomonas infection? Does it = attack the kidneys and bladder?

REPLY

Pseudomona are bacteria that inhabit the intestine of many normal persons. Usually they cause no trouble unless they find their way into the ur- inary tract. This disorder should not be confused with trichomon- as infection.
