The Link That Binds

“When our Legislature opens to- . day it will be in the formal manner hallowed by tradition and made meaningful, at every stage, by its close association with the Crown. The ceremony wil! be performed by the Lieutenant Governor, who is not a lieutenant, and not a governor, except in name. He has no influence on the | laws that will be passed or on the | policies of the Government. He is, | in fact, the one citizen in the prov- ince who cannot openly express opin- ions on politics. Yet as the repre- sentative of Her Majesty he is the

Prime Minister certainly pre-judged |

Mr. Dupuis’ case, despite his protesta-

tions to the contrary. Opposition Leader Diefenbaker called attention to this fact, demanding that Mr. Pearson be explicit on the question of whether Mr. Dupuis had been fir- ed or had resigned on his own initia- tive.

The Prime Minister replied: “He resigned; he wasn't promoted to the Senate,’ and then went to deprecate certain Senate appointments Mr. Dief- enbaker had made when he was in office. This without any elaboration.

Plainly, the Conservative motion should have been directed squarely on this target, and not phrased in the vague manner it was. And why, in the circumstances, didn't the other Opposition parties insist on a show- down on the matter? They could have done so in the way of an amend- ment to the Conservative motion, but they didn’t.

Interesting in this connection was the statement of New Democratic Leader T. C. Douglas, who said his party would await the results of the current judicial inquiry. But plainly referred in the Dorion

Timely Reflections

On a subject of current interest, the Ottawa Journal raises the point that it is not an act of Parliament but time and the cumulative pride, honor and sacrifice paid by many hearts,-that makes a flag cherished in the land. What would the flag say itself, if it could speak? it- asks. And it goes on to quote the late Franklin Lane as giving the flag’s an- swer in these words:

“I am whatever you make of me, nothing more. I am vour belief in yourself, your dream of what a peo- ple may become . . . I am the day’s work of the weakest man, and_ the largest dream of the most daring . .. 1 am the clutch of an idea, and the reasoned purpose of resolution. I am no more than you believe me

_can be. I am whatever you make of me, nothing more.” ©

Franklin K. Lane was a Prince Edward Islander, born near Char- lottetown a century ago last July, who became U.S. Secretary of the Interior in President Woodrow Wil- son’s administration and might well have become President himself had he been American-born. He died in 1921, after achieving fame as a writ- er as well as in public life. His views on what a flag should be are timely, ’ underlining as they do the fact that,

OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson

A world drifting without par- pose, largely ranking Mammon before Gand selfishness be- fore survival, may well find worthwhile new guide-lines pro- posed in New Y *“ City this week

World leaders of many relig- jor; and race: meeting in a historic convocation to examine the requirements foi world peace in the context of the en- | cyclical of Pope John XXIII en- titled “Pacem in Terris’’ (Peace on Earth).

Among those who accepted in- vitations ‘ attend are Hubert Humphrey. vice- president of the U.S.A.; U Thant, Secretary- General of the United Nations; Alexander Quaison-Sackey, pre- sident of the General Assembly of the U.N.; Earl Warren, chief Justice of the USA.; Barbara Ward. th British economist: Adlai Stevenson. Paul-’ Henri Spaak, Arnold Toynbee, and other distinguish ‘ public figur- es from Japan, Russia. Britain, Africa anc Latin A,.erica.

The convocation was organiz- ed by the Centre for the study of Democratic Institutions and the Ford Foundation: its open- ing meeting was appropriately planned to ta!e place in the As- | sembly Chamber of the United Nations.

THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND

“Pacem i T° xis’ Was head lined as the theme of the dis- cussion, because in that encyc- lical the Peasant “or ‘dre4s- ed not « ly Roman Catholics but also to “all men of good will’. the Holy Father saw that the chief implicat. of nuclear fo. ‘3 that s-ch a & would be in na e only a struggle be- tween nations;*more significant- ly, it would be a war . against Fo it : not individual not their artifacts such as their homes and their possess- ions, which would be the only victims of a nucle w: It would be the work of God, the divinely unbalanced conditions which make life on this planet possible for al] living creatures and those not yet born, which would be destroyed.

Pope John listed three re- quire: onts wich he saw as es- sential to the eliminatior of the present precarious ba‘ance of |

nuclear terror and the creation | P0ted among Canadians who en- |

It was with these convictions | that Pope J: stretched out |

and with a natural and oper- ative honesty.”

RUSSIAN APPRECIATION Would an appeal from the Pope mete any im act in the Kremlin? Even the Russian

ens tobe slaughtered and the world to be contaminated by a pre-emptive nuclear attack or by the spasm response of a stricken U.S.A. Chairman Khru- shchev was profoundly impress- ed by thi- encyclical. .f which Pope John sent him an advance copy; and we kn w that “hru-

Niagara Falls Problem

New York Times

Are the American falls of the Niagara degenerating into a piddling, boulder-choked cas- cade? Wouldn't they look better plunging straight down into a misty abyss, like the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side”

Or are they more exciting “on the rocks?"

These questions, revived by a campaign in the Ni-gara Falls Gazette for the removal of ‘“un- sightly” rock debris at the base

of the falls, are getting some off- | | season attention on both | of the frontier.

sides The Niagera Falls city counc-

action to get rid of the mounting pile of talus that has crept half- way up to the lip of the 181- foot cataract. The council also ask- ed for remedial action to pre- vent further erosion and rock slides.

On both sides of the river, opinion is split over the rocks. Some people find them displeas- ing to the aesthetic sense. Oth- ers, adrritting that they consid-

ered the rocks a crashing bore in Summer, found them delight- ful in Winter wher converted into gretesque mounds of ice.

FEARED BY ASIANS iS

A second Chinese nuclear test, it is felt, will do little to calm Asian countries, such as India, which have cause to {car a militant Chinese policy and which have been _ pondering whether to impose the extra economic burden of a puclear project on themselves.

The US. has sought to reas- sure such nations by stating its willingness, if necessary, to ex- tend its nuclear umbrella on their behalf. President Johnson did so in October.

As for China's nuclear prog- ress. there has been specula- tion this may go faster than some now think

The head nuclear physicist for China s believed to be a former associate of Madame Curie while the head of the Chi- nese rocket program has been identified as Dr. Chien Hsueh- sen, a graduate of the Massa- chusetts institute of Technology who returned to China in 1955 after studying German rocketry and acting as’a consultant te the U.S. Navy
