Shadow Cars

We are confident that Inspector Nev- h1'a decision to put "shadow cars" into service on some sections of our highways will meet with widespread approval, al- though lt is a new departure in police methods on this Island. As the Inspector pointed out in his statement announcing the new plan, there is no desire on the part ofthe police to "persecute" automobile drivers; and it can be taken for granted that the officers who are entrusted with this added responsibility will do every- thing in their power to use it solely for the protection of the public. If all drivers

were as careful and as safety-conscious as.

most of them are, there would be no need of new police precautions; unfortunately, there are always a few who seem to be- lieve that an operator's license entitles them to drive fast and furiously at all times and in all circumstances. It is they who have made shadow cars a necessity; and they have no right to complain about any device which is intended to improve their driving habits or, if that be impos- sible, to bring them to account for their redtlessness and irresponsibility. Mean- while, careful drivers have nothing to fear from the innovation.

Our Provincial safety record so far this year is relatively good; but, while there has been no actual fatality, there has been quite a number of serious accidents. Any- thing the R.C.lM.P. can do under the one- ful and experienced direction of Inspector Nevin. to create a better understandingof the need for constant highway vigilance onthepartofaIloonoorned.isbobecom- mended; and their present efforts deserve the wholehearted support of every re6P0l'l' sible citizen.

Russia And Japan

The next. country, after West Germany, to come under the pressure of the Soviet Unlonla "peace through neutrality" of- fensive, so it is reported. ll J&Pan- 51' ready, diplomats of both countries are dis- cussing certain tentative proposals in London. Japanese officials have made it elear, however, that the ease with which the Russians exacted a pledge of neutral- wy from Austria cannot be duplicated in Tokyo. -Despite Japan's differences with the United States, differences which are by no means trivial, it is not likely that she would mrrender her mutual security ties with that country merely for a Rus- sian promise of good behaviour that would be conditional on virtual isolation of Japan from Western aid. Furthermore, the tra- ditional enmity between the two coun- tries. which came into existence long be- fore the Communists took over control of Russia, is still a fact of considerable im- portance. Added to all this, as an impedi- ment to the Soviet Union's present over- tures. is the fact that the Communist ap- paratus has caused a great deal of trou- big in post-war Japan. At the moment its influence appears to be on the wane; but it is still mischievous enough to keep llhe Japanese wary of Moscow's intentions. It is no secret that the present Jap- anese Government would like to make some sort of reciprocal trade agreement with neighbouring Red China. The Rus- sians, of course, are well aware of this; and the latest report is that they will offer I "package" deal which will include pro- fiiable Japanese dealings with China-- and perhaps with the Soviet Union-in re- turn for the "neutrality" in the current fashion of Soviet intrigue. The consensus of opinion among those who profess to know the present climate of official Jap- anese thought is that this dodge will not work. All other things apart. it is certain that the Japanese will not take too kindly to the Soviet implication that they, like the Austrians, must accept the best set- tlement they are offered. And it is per- haps significant that wllen one prominent Japanese official was questioned as to the Soviet tentative proposal regarding neu- trsllty, he replied. half-facetiously, "we beat them, you know, In 1905."

A Grave Problem

In his book "1,000,000 Delinquents"

may with. regardless of the cost. Teach- ers should be given more training in psy- chological techniques so 'as to be in a posi- tion to recognize the first signs of emo- tional stress which usually begin to ap- 9931' in the 7th or 8th year. There should be childrens' courts presided over by specialists. All the way from the home and school to detention homes, where these are necessary, the emphasis must be on prevention and rehabilitation rather than on punishment. Every social institu- tion should be mobilized in the attack on delinquency. and there is great need, so Dr. Fine believes, for many more social ,workers, psychiatrists, youth leaders, and other experts.

All this will cost a great deal of money -much more than is now contributed from all sources; but it will never be as ex- pensive as delinquency. The conclusion reached by Dr. Fine, after years of re- search and study, in the course of which he talked personally to 1500 delinquents, is that juvenile crime is a sickness. Like all sicknesses, it calls for skilful treatment and sympathy. There are times when isolation of the delinquent is necessary; but punishment does no good whatsoever. There should be no jails for young offend- ers, but detention homes conducted on !the highest humanitarian plane. So Dr. -Fine believes.

E Another and somewhat different view in the matter was put forth recently by Judge Hyman Barshay, a jurist of repute and of much practical experience. "You are not doing them a favour by calling them juvenile delinquents", said Judge Barshay, "they are just young criminals." While he is not against long range pro- grammes, he believes the pressing need is for "more jails for youthful offenders." More and stricter parental discipline is ab- solutely necessary, especially as regards movies, comic books, and television. Above all, Judge Barshay believes, ooddling of young criminals only adds to the trouble. No doubt, there is much wisdom, and perhaps a little over-emphasis on certain procedures, contained in both views. It may be that the real solution--if. indeed.

one can be found at allelies somewhere between the two suggested approaches.

Clearly. punishment by itself is not the answer; the facts are proof of that. On

the other hand, the new procedures which

Dr. Fine thinks should be strengthened

and extended have been in use for a long

time; yet juvenile crime appears to be

growing, statistically and every other way-

One thing stands out clearly. Since six

out of ten juvenile delinquents turn into

adult criminals (that is what the record

shows) there is no graver problem chal-

lenging the wisdom and the moral senses

of our time.

EDITORIAL NOTES Senator Estes Kefauver, a Democratic aspirant for the Presidency in 1952, says that "regardless of what President Eisen- hower does, run or not run," the Dem- ocrats will take the Presidency and a more decisive control of both houses in 1956. That may be true. But there is such a thing as over-optimism; and opposition parties often indulge in it to their event- ual dlscomf-iture.

Evidently, even head-hunting can be a source of moral strength and purpose to those who practice it. An American pro- fessor, just back from Borneo, says that in the old days the practice was consider- ed the ”the Ideal recreation" for men and it developed courage in the hunters. Now that the authorities have declared it to be illegal, the men just sit around doing nothing. This. obviously, is very bad for the tribal morale. O O I

Something Agiiaiing Them?

Whale Hunt

The freezing waters of Baffin Island's silent fjords soon will flash with the glistening backs of the beluga, the white whale.

But suddenly the Arctic silence

will be broken by the chatter of rifle fire and the cries of excited Eskimos. For each July brings the annual whale hunt, a time when the natives feast on fresh meat and muktuk and make some extra money. The hunt is one of the projects supervised by tile Hudson's Bay Company designed to supplement the natives' income. Whale hides and blubber bring good prices.

BIG EVENT OF YEAR

Centre of the island whale hunts is Pnlgnirtullg, a historic whaling port on the east coast of Baffin Island, 1.550 air miles northeast of Winnipeg.

For the 630 Eskimos in the area ills the big event of the year. but it's not as thrilling a spectacle as it used to be.

Until a few years ago the E5- kimo bunters herded the whales to slaughter much like a prairie cattle roundup. The whales, which feed along the island coastline, travel in schools up the fjords, carried along by the incoming tide. Once the school was spotted the Eskimos would form a floating barricade behind the beluga. slapping the water with their bars and firing wildly into the water to frighten the mammals.

The whales would rush toward the shallows and as the tide ehbed they would flounder on the sand bars. a simple slaughter for the hunters.

WASTEFUL BUSINESS

But the Hudson's Bay Company decided to put an end to the whale drives.

"The Eskimos wasted too much ammunition scaring the whales. Peter Nichols, manager of llBC's arctic division, said in an Inter- view here.

"Now we say we want so many whales and the Eskimos go out and get that many. But they also some for themselves as

well."

The annual quota is set by the company's sole customer for whale hides-John Dawharn, tanners of Market Harbor. England-who uses them In the manufacture of shoe laces.

The whale oil is shipped to Montreal and used in the produc- tion of margarine.

The silver-grey skin is sold at the post at prices ranging from 50 cents to 36.50, depending on type and age. The average price is 03.50.

AMMUNITION IMPORTANT

IIBC officials feel they have reached a solution to the ammuni- tion problem. This aumme four cartridge-loading machines will be In operation at Lake Harbor, Sug- luk. Spence bay and Reid island. Although shells are sold at com- pany posts at cheaper prices than they can be obtained in Win 3, g, the natives are forced to spend a good deal of money during the year on ammunition. ”Ammunition.is a luxury item in the city but it's an essential item to the Eskimo. . . it's the same as our bread and butter to them." said Mr. Nichols.

He said the most expensive part of the manufactured unit is the shell which can be used over again at least 10 times.

IIETRIEVE SHELLS

Now the Eskimos are being asked to retrieve the shells and return them to the posts for re- loading.

The cartridge loader consists of ll press with dies to fit the chief calibres of the rifles commonly used by the Eskimos. Bullets. powder and primers have been shipped to the four posts.

"We figure we can sell a box of re-loaded cartridges for little more than half the cost of the manu- fgctured article," said Mr. Nlch. os. -
