Canada Should Press Claim

Developments of the next fe\v weeks affecting the enlargement of the new Anglo-American war pool are oi the greatest importance to_Ca11ada, in the opinion of the Financial Post, which says:

Heretofore Canada. and tlte Uttited States have been moving steadily toward an integrated econ- omy in regard to output of \var materials. I11 some respects the two countries had become virtually one and a unanimous proposal to remove all tariffs on wair material is now shortly t0 be placed before the Y. S_ Cotigrcss.

.\'o\v there have been announced simultaneous- ly in “Mshington and in London, three highly important boards which, on paper at least, create a complete pool of the raw titaterials, shipping anl munitions resources of Britain and the United States. -

Yet the announcement contains no mention whatever of Canada. Nor has there been any in- dication, official or unofficial at Ottawa, “lash- ington or London as to what place if any this country is to hold in the new pooling plan.

Despite official denials, as to Canada's desire to have representation on these committees, Can- adians intimately associated with our procure- ment programme have been urging in strongest possible terms that this country should and mitst have a direct voice in making the tools needed to finish the job. Our stake in the procurement pro- gramme both in terms of raw materials and in actual present prodtrciioii of scores of vital ma- terials and supplies clearly warrants some such voice.

About the only word which comes from Ot- tawa is an explanation that we did not press our claim for direct representation because if we had done so it would lmvc opened tip embarrassing situations with the other Doiniiuons and possibly with South American countries.

This is quite uttcouviitcing in regard to supply and materials in which Canada has a direct inter- est fztr exceeding tltzit of any other Utiited Nation apart from llritrtiii, lfnitcrl States and Russia. \\'e stand in a rwsitioti quite different Io that of any other allies of the United Nations. It is

urgently important to have Canada's position clarified.

Parliament Supreme

In Brill-h countries. the govern- ments cf the day are sitbject- to certain ecnslittltimial limitations 11nd restraints. which serve to pro- tect popular liberties and to facil- itate the expression of the popular will. Within its legislative jurisdic- tlon. as defined by the fimdamentctl law..- cf this Derttinion. Parliament is sitpretne. Its numbers are elected by the popular vote In their ("vow-l constituencies Each 111'i"‘.“' guaranteed certain immunities and privileges; and, during his parlia- mentary term, each tnember Except for lfntitatioits and ITCSlYICZlOIlS whlclt are voluntarily Impcsecl by tiiinself, ls free to sixztk, vote and act In Parliament in accordance with his own conscientious judg- ment. A Member of Parliament who. owing to changes In circum- stances and conditions, finds that he cannot, conscientiously adhere to plctlges and prcittiscs uliicli he has voluntarily ntzide to his elec- tors In time of elections, stlll re- tains complete libert c-f personal decision and personal action upon any question arising In Parliament. But, If anv member, after his elec- tion. finds that he cannot con- .<f‘l(2llllOlI<l\' arlticre to promises or pledges which he made to secure his election, he should yield to the dictates ‘of personal honor and constitutional usage, forthwith resign his seat, and submit. his con- duct. to the amaroval of his electors at a. bv-elcctlon. Thus a Member of Parliament may always secure
