Member Aud Bureau of Circulanon PAGE 4 FRIDAY MARCH 26, 1965.

Well, It's Over!

With the prorogation of the Leg: islature today. the session will take its place in political history and will no doubt be viewed with better judg- ment 'than one can bring to bear upon it at present. It was short and acri- monious. bringing forth some good fruit in the way of legislation but leaving the cardinal problem in pro- vincial affairs—the fiscal difficulties in which we are involved—very in- adequately explained

The budget itself was one of the most difficult to comprehend that has been presented at any session in this Province. It involved unprece- dented expenditures and _ unprec- dented debt increases. leaving us, for next vear. with a truly alarming bill for interest charges alone. It catled for the fullest discussion and con- ‘structive criticism. Yet the debate came to abrupt halt after only two speakers on each side had participat- ed, and with both the leader of the ‘Government and the leader of the Opposition sitting silent in their seats

One would have expected. after this amazing performance, that a special effort would be made in com- mittee to bring the facts to light in an exhaustive examination of each item in the estimates. But by this time other legislation was clamoring for attention and there was a rush, dur- ing the last few days, to push these measures through. The Opposition protested against the “bulldozing” methods of the Government, but on neither side was there shown much disposition to carry on:for another week, or another two weeks if neces- Sary, at a more orderly pace.

As we said, the session may look better in retrospect than it does now. Let's hope, at least, that it won't look any worse.

Badly Bungled

Canada has become the butt of both rmdicule and criticism for re- fusing entry to a political science professor from the University of Minnesota who attempted to keep a speaking engagement in Winnipeg. The meeting was sponsored by the Voice of Women and the speaker was turned back for holding radical and subversive views.

Professor Sibley, the person in question, is a Quaker and a pacifist. His honesty, integrity and high mor- al character were vouched for by the Governor of Minnesota who said, in commenting on his treatment by Can- adian immigration officials, © that “countless Americans are severely shaken in their attitudes regarding the existence of freedom of expres- sion in Canada. It borders on the unbelievable.”

Prime Minister Pearson, when

questioned in the Commons on a re- port that Prof. Sibley was being barred entry to the country, express- ed the hope that this was not so— that he would be allowed in. Yet he was turned back nevertheless by the regional immigration department di- tector, and Immigration Minister Nicholson has since come to his of- fictal’s defense. : It seems, according to the muin- ister, that the law as it stands is to blame. There was “doubt as to his admissibility, which legally we had to recognize. It was the kind of doubt that would have to go before an inquiry.’ Unfortunately, this Meant that “the choice the law al- lowed us to offer to Mr. Sibley was academic from his point of view. The quiry could not be held before he as due to speak. He therefore pre- rred to leave again rather than to ait and have the doubt about his missibility resolved.”

have been action. “1 ’t know,” said Mr. Diefenbaker. you can smear a person more

With ‘McCarthyism than by what was

‘parts of the world

done in this case.’ NDP Leaaer Douglas blasted it as a fiasco, and Social Credit Leader Thompson in- dicated that the Government “should ‘apologize to Prof. Sibley for the way he was treated.” .

According to the Montreal Star, there were reservations about Mr. Nicholson's capacity for his new job as Immigration Minister. There will be more doubt after the explanation he has given in this case

Scouting For Fish

Menus in an average Japanese home nowadays, says a Tokyo dis- patch, include salmon from the north Pacific. crab from Alaska, tuna from the Atlantic. skipjack from the In- dian Ocean, prawns from the Gulf of Mexico. sea bream (of the carp family) from Oceania, and white whale meat from the Antarctic. This gives some idea of the variety and scope of the Japanese fishing industry today.

The Japanese government's {iSh- eries agency and University of Fish- eries have four fishing-survey ships ranging from 600 tons to 1.000 tons, which are constantly engaged in the search for new fishing areas. Some time this year they will investigate the possibily of a seabream fishing in waters: south of Australia

In addition. the fisheries agency, has secured budgetary appropriations for the construction of a larger sur- vey ship of 2,600 tons, which will in- vestigate waters off the west and east coasts of Africa. the east and west coasts of South America, south of the Aleutians, Alaska, the Bering Sea, and other areas.

Barred from many traditional fish- ing grounds after World War [I and excluded from coastal areas as a re: sult of reclamation and water polio- tion arising from fast industrial de- velopment, Japanese fishermen have done a surprising job in extending their activities to so many distant And thev are still looking for new grounds in the

seven seas.

Another Warning Voice

While provincial legislatures have been rubber-stamping the formula for constitutional amendment adopt- ed at the federal-provincial confer- ence in Charlottetown last September, it is noteworthy that at Ottawa the motions calling for an address to the Queen on the “Subject have not vet

been plaged on the Senate and Com-

mons order papers. And. as Mr. Diefenbaker pointed out. the Op- position has been unable to get as- surance from the Government that the form of the motion and the ar- rangements for debate will permit thorough study and discussion.

Yet the Ontario Legislature gave quick passage to a resolution stating “That this House approves and sup- ports the addresses of the Senate and House of Commons...” And in an interview Premier Robarts said of the Charlottetown agreement: “That was a commitment and we're simply carrying it out.” <

Less ridiculous was the wording adopted unanimously in our Island Legislature on Tuesday, yet in effect it amounted to the same thing, giving blanket approval of actions at Ottawa which have not yet been formulated. Couldn't it have waited for the thorough debate which Mr. Diefen- baker has been demanding in Par- liament on the subject? Why the haste in cutting the ground from un- der his feet?

The Globe and Mail notes that in Ontario only the members of the New Democratic Party objected to the government resolution, the Oppos- ition leader “being effectively gagged by the fact that this is Ottawa Liber- al policy.” Did the same gag work effectively here, in producing a min- imum of discussion before the resolu- tion went through with the blessing of both parties?

“The significance of this episode,” warns the Toronto paper above quot- ed, “goes far beyond the immediate issue. We can expect the pattern to be repeated: secret sessions of the federal and provincial governments; agreements for their leaders to take back and ram through the Legislat- ures; party lines so crossed that co- herent opposition criticism is imposs- ible. The power of the federal-provin- cial conference stifles democracy.”

Another voice crying in the wilder- ness, it would seem.

oo HELPS MEDICINE TO GO DOWN OTTAWA REPORT By Patrick Nicholson

Against Abolition Of Death Penalty

The bleeding hearts” launched a massive campaign of sympathy. aimed at - persu- ading our MPs to vote to abol- ish the death penalty for wilful murder when Prime Minis- ter Pearson introduces this subject in Parliament

Johnny Canuck doesn't feel very strongly about this A re- cent poll showed one in ten with no opinion. and ux favouring retention of the death penalty But. in the public debate about the flag last vear, the minority in favour of a change is much more vocal; it seems likely that. unless that ma- jority raises its voice. once again our democratic’ government will move against the will of the majority

Personally. | consider that there are much more important angles in the field of wilful mur- der. than whether or not a con- victed murderer should be ex- ecuted

The first point. I believe. is that

as

Johnny Canuck wants an assu- rance of individual safety in our community He wants to

feel sure that his little daughter can safely ~-be permitted to walk home alone from school. in summer vafterr-on or equally in winters early darkness. with- out fea. that one dav she will not reach home and. after a night ef desnerate anxiety and frantic scarch, her torn and mu-

tilated bedy will be found in a gravel pit EASY MONEY HAS PRICE

Equally Johnny Canuck wants to feel 2ssured that his wife can go to the bank to cash his pay cheque without the risk that some masked thug, seeking money at gunnoint rather than by his daily lahour, will acci- dentally shoot her in the fracas which he causes

In the past ten years. 1.901 Canadians have died unnatural deaths caused wilfully ar accid- entally by others — in addition to the much higher number slaughtered on our highways In those same ten years, only 99 of the killers have been arrested by our police and sentenced by our judges: of those. no less than 75 have heen exempted from the prescribed course of law by our prime ministers

Very soon the first of those con-

victed killers will become eigi- ble to be released into society on parole

No convicted murderer has been executed in Canada since 1962. How cynical will.it be for Prime Minister Pearson to ask Parliament whether capita! punishment ‘should be abolish- ed in law, when he has thus already*abolished it in practice himself?

But far more important, when 1,901 homicides tn 10 years have resulted in only 24 killers paying the prescribed penalty, is the question of strengthening the preventive and ip®estigatory sections of our police forces, and improving our laws, to pro- tect life.

LIFE IS SACRED

“It is wrong to take the life of a convicted murderer; life is given by God and should not be taken by man." Thus speak the bleeding hearts. We agree with their words: but I apply them to the disregarded victims ra- ther than to their slayers.

The purpose of the law is to the community primar- ily; it will not do that by remo- ving the deterrent and by turning

killers loose again. The punish- ,

men of life imprisonment should mean incarceration until death, nothing less. And what about offensive weapons? Typi- cal of the government's cyni- cal attituce towards firearms is the fact that ‘Firing-pin Paul” Hellyer, Minister of Defenc . ‘vas put 508 guards on 89 armouries at an annual cost of nearly $2 million to secure weapons there- in: but any thug can obtain army rifles by breaking into a typical unguarded hardware store.

What protection can the gov- ernment of'er to our police and especially to prison warders, if the death penalty is abolished? A “lifer would enjoy continuous open season on his warders

There is a touch of grim hu- mor in the admission by Deputy Postmaster General W.H_ Wi)- son that criminals are opening street mail boxes with duplicate keys

Until three years ago mail box locks were repaired in King- ston Penitentiary, of all places This is like putting the cat in charge of the pet bird. or trust- ing the dog to bring home the steak {rom the butcher's No wonder mail box keys have found their way into the crimin- al underworld

A lock has to be particularly complex to baffle a professional criminal Most ordinary locks serve their purpose in delaying him. even if it is only for a brief time, so that he runs the risk of being observed

But if he has a duplicate kev there need be no tinkering It must have been a great help to be presented with mail box locks and to be able to cut. duplicate kevs in a well-equipped govern- ment workshop

To change mail box locks across Canada would be a fan- tastically costly business. Nor

would this ultimately give secur- ity. Determined criminals would soon discover ways of opening those, too

A grave interruption in Krus- chen supplies for Canada occur- red recently when a_ special shipment of 50,000 Kruschen Giant Packages of Salts was sent to the bot! of the sea in a sunken British ship.

Grams Not | Calories

By Dr. Theodore BR. Van Dellen

It is incorrect to label any | food as particularly fattening Most edibles increase weight when taken in sufficient guan- tity. Carbohydrates ‘sugars and starches! often are labeled as such because most of us con- sume large amounts in our daily diet. They are cheap, taste good, and often used in confections When food is ingested in excess of the body needs, whether tak- en in the form of carbohydrates, | proteins or fats, the equivalent | Of excess calories is deposited | as fat | The ideal diet of the average woman contains 2,200 calories of | which 58 grams are protein, 77 | are fat, and 170 are carbohy- | drate. The corresponding figur- | es for men are 3,000, 70, 77. and 170, Reduce the nagber of grams for any of these and the ‘individual consumes fewer cal- ories

The current reducing fad rec- ommends a drastic reduction in carbohydrates The reduction is

in grams. we assume this is done. to free the-ominous calors ie. Those familiar with nutrition know that each gram of protein or carbohydrate has an energy- producing value of four calories and a gram of fat produces nine

Carbohydrates are the pri- mary source of body fuel It is readily available and used as needed to supply the energy re- quired for various bodily fune- tions, heat. and muscular con- tractions When the supply of carbohydrate is curtailed, the bod, must resort to stored f-4 and proteins for energy) This is a slower process because ‘it mean that other — foodstuffs must be converted into carbohy- drates In addition, a certain number of calories are required to make the conversion’

As a result, the deposits of fat must zo to work and weight is lost so Jong as the individual does not step up. his normal in- take of fats and proteins. This is

One of the most thankless pol- itical tasks any Republican could undertake would seem io be an attempt to defeat Pres- dent Johnson in 1968. The Re- publican party is. still bitterly divided, although a facade of unity has been produced for public consumption. And Mr Johnson's popularity is so high that it seems incredible anyone should feel confident they could beat him

But. far from waiting until Mr. Johnson is gone from the scene, important Republican fig- ures are definitely working for the 1968 nomination

Foremost of these. and cur- rently in the best position. is Richard Nixon, the 1960 candi- date. Mr. Nixon has the support of most of the Republican ma- chine, and of many Goldwater supporters because of the effort , he made in the last election to help the Arizona Senator

Further, Mr. Nixon has taken

flight If the Russtans have achieved the same thing. they havent said so UL S space o cials say the Russians rarely pass up any such opportunity Pychologically, Grissom and Young provided an overdue booster shot Not since May 15, 1963, had an American astro- naut been in orbit.
