Those Campaign Funds

One of the ‘reforms’ we shall have to do without in this election campaign has to-do with reforming all such ‘campaigns by. putting t he financing of them on a more straight- forward basis. Finance Minister Gor- don, who is also chairman of the Liberal partvs national campaign committee. discussed this matter at a press conterence the other day. He said he had hoped the special par- liamentary committee that is to rec- ommend reforms to election cam- paign financing would have reported before now. It would be preferable if a large part of each party's ex- penses was paid from public funds; but he added. consolingly that the present system of soliciting funds from private contributors was ‘not as bad as it-has been made out?’ :

Unfortunately. the trouble with

making it out in any intelligible way,

is the secrecy in which the whole sys- tem is shrouded. All parties tend to be willing nowadays to publish finan- cial. reports—limited ones. No-one wants,to hide how offices and adver- ising are paid for. But these have ‘little to do with the actual party war chest, about which we'd all like to known a little more.

\ French-language paper, the Montreal Metro-Express, has just made some arresting statements on .this subject. It says, first of all, that the war chest is the-one that, pays for campaigns,. changes reluctant minds, assures..victory.-to-its~candi- dates, pads bank accounts for finan- cially-troubled party figures. Some- times overseas trips are arranged for persoris not wanted in the country at election. The chest is versatile and not limited to election uses, which largely frees it from the checks of the campaign spending laws. All manner of ruses are used to conceal where it’ comes from and how -im-

about these funds than the man on the street. The money is there, cer- tain persons pick up the bills, but --who put the bank notes in the cash box, or who guaranteed the funds in advance? What party would even consider unveiling this mystery to the light of day? .

One thing sure, it seems, is that the contributions of small business- men-and-—the-proceeds—of_party—din- ners_count_less than nothing -in the real funds of the party. . And com. mon belief to the-contrary. a party, especially one in power, draws on a very limited number of sources. They are more often than not foreign in this land where more than.60 cent of the capital is American. The portant “transactions” take place. on the highest levels and will never be opened to the public, or even to the party :

We- cant vouch for the accuracy of these statements, but we think they merit attention at this time. We trust that Mr. Gordon will read them and, at his next pressgonference, let us une what he thinks about them.

32. Years After

Thirty-two vears after many of Germany's top writers and journal- ists fled the country, an exhibition devoted to “German literature in exile’’ has. opened in Frankfurt. It all began on January 30, 1933, when tens of thousands of torch-bearing, cheering Germans crowded Berlin's streets to hail the rise to power of their new Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler. Only four months later. on May 10. a huge bonfire lit the square outside the opera in Berlin; the new leaders, cheered by their innumerable follow- ers, were burning the works of “un- German” and “subversive” authors, foreigners.and Germans alike.

the Ma nfire meant the end of in- dependent thought in Nazi Germany, left the country

One vear later the exiled intellect uals founded the “German Freedom Library” in Paris, compiled of the books banned pulped, or ignored in the Fuhrer’s Aryan Germany. The library vanished after the German Army conquered France. Fifteen years later the German Library in Frankfurt began to establish a de partment devoted to German liter- ature in exile Its collection now contains 8.200 items ranking from books and magazines to newspapers and anti-Nazi leaflets. and 2,000 let- ters collected from all parts of the world

The current Frankfurt exhibition shows-onlv_about five per cent of this but on display.are many rare items, including the magazine “Abendland” (Occident) published in Prague, in which in 1938 appeared the follow- ing prophetic tines:

“Listen: vou new vrophets. there is a death-mask grinning when you talk about a One-Thousand-Year- Reich—it is your own. Listen, you great architect. of a new century: un- der the new buildings to be built in the service the new heathenism one building is to be certain,.a build- ing some foet deep: your grave.”

A true prophecy indeed. Remind- ing us of the blasts which John Milton delivered, three centuries ago, against what he called the “inquisitorious and tyrannical duncerv” of the book- ~Though alt the winds of doctrine were let loose to play upon the earth,’ he wrote, ‘‘so Truth be in the field; we'do injurious- ly by licensing and prohibiting to mis- doubt her strength. Let her and Falsehood \grapple; who ever. knew Truth put tothe worse, in a free and open encounter?”

That, of course: was what the Nazis were determined not to allow. But they failed to reckon—as have other totalitarian regimes—-on the indes- tructability of the force they were up against. The Frankfurt exhibits are a reminder that books are in- deed ‘not dead things.but-do—con-

as active as that soul was whose pro- geny they are; nay, they do preserve as in’'a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.” ‘

Milton would have enjoyed adding a postscript to these reflections of his, were,be living-in. this age. -

Another New Party

As if the Quebec situation wasn’t complicated -enough, -another’ new political party—Le Bloc du Quebec— has proclaimed its determination to ~enter-candidates..in_every_riding in... the province in the coming federal contest. Fhe party, as announced in its manifesto, “does not propose sep- eration of Quebec from the rest of Canada but. insists on_respect for the principle of equality between the two nations by means of a new constitu: tion.” ; f j

In addition, the party stands for

. severance of all ties with Britain,

formation of a new parliamentary sys- tem under a president and two

, chambers—one_representing English Canada and the other French Can-

| stitutional monarchy in this country,

While the parfy does not propose absolute stparatism from the rest of ' Canada, it advocates measures which the English-speaking majority would certainly not tolerate -and which would destroy-Canada if they were to make headway. It would be _an- other Munich indeed if appease- ment of Quebec extremists went so far as to sanction abolition of con-

voters, who aré concerned about economic improventents much miore than-with changes of this kind. It is mote likely, as one exchange pre- dicts, that it will meet the same fate as earlier parties in Quebec such as Block Populaire, Parti de la Confederation.

The tongue is surrounded . by more bacteria than any organ in the body. It has been estimat- ed that the healthy oral cavity averages 750 million organisms -inevery 15 drops of saliva.
