Paces Another Problem

} Defense Minister Hellyer has an- nounced that he has attained, ahead Gf schedule, his aim of reducing the strength of our armed forces. But in doing so he has given grounds for complaint in another direction. Lt. General Frank Fleury, comptroller- general at Canadian Forces Head- quarters, warned last month that re- cruiting had been “very poor” in the previous six or-sé€ven months. The problem may not be now acute, as the cutting down process has only just been completed; but already it is admitted that the navy is short of technicians at sea, the army could use more infantrymen, and some RCAF pilots are drifting away to at- tractive commercial jobs.

‘ The unencouraging atmosphere is felt not only in the regular forces but in the militia. The Montreal Gazette

otes in this connection ate ten t statement of Leslie Crooks, president of the Canadian Corps Association’s Ontario command, that militia morale ig at its “lowest ebb.” Mr. Crooks’ statement has since been challenged. But his reply is: “I blame the govern- ment for not making the militia more attractive.”

Admittedly, it is hard for the de-. fense department:to cut down on the sérvices and at the same time create the public impression that service life it attractive. But that is what it under- téok to do. We have had a hard job reconciling ourselves to the loss of the naval training establishment in Charlottetown, and this has: been the experience in other centres where cutbacks in training facilities have been made.

It is maintained that under the reduction, service careers are still good and prospects for advancement at least as bright as ever. But it re- mains hard to make such arguments convincing. Mr. Hellyer has a big promotional job to do before he can overcome the problem of maintaining the necessary rate of recruiting.

The Great Divider

+ With all the beefs, pro and con, that are being aired before the bilin- gual and bicultural commission these days, one can appreciate the com- ment in the Christian Science Mon- itor that language threatens to take the place of religion as the most bale- ful divider of men. Today it is easier té start a riot over speech than it is over dogma, a situation which would have been incomprehensible just -a few centuries ago.

» Not only in Canada is it speech which divides us into two main and uheasy blocs, but it is speech which has caused periodic rioting in India ahd has kept. the German-speaking South Tyrolese an unassimilable lump in northern Italy. But nowhere at the moment is the problem thornier-than in Belgium. Although virtually all Belgians are either actively or nomin- ally members of the same church, they are bitterly split between French-speaking Walloons and Flemish-speaking-Ftethings.

+ Basically, as in Canada; the Bel-

_ gian problem is one of different cul- |

tures. Speaking their Germanic ton-

- gue the Flemings tend to feel that

their ties run northward into the Netherlands. -By contrast, the Wal- loons have for centuries been an off.- shoot (albeit a lively and often in- dependent-minded one) of the power- ful French culture to the south. Thus, at best, they have lived in uneasy truce.

' Of late the situation has changed. A higher birthrate has given the Flemings an increasingly heavy ma- jority within the country. A strongly developing intellectual class has made them more impatient over the hith- erto dominant national position of the

“It is obvious,” reflects The Monitor, “that for the long, foresee- able future, many lands will have to Ap- proached in a positive and concilia- tory manner, it can be turned into a great national advantage. Who would deny that one of the great charms of

Here, in a nutshell, is about all our b. and b. commissioners will be_ able to offer us in the way of sound advice when they reach the end of their long and costly inquiry. Couldn’t they call it a-day and say so, instead of providing a sounding-board, as they

N.B. Taking Action

New’ Brunswick is re-planning its | governmental affairs in a big way; | and is considering, among other |

things, important changes in the ad-

ministration of justice. Six bills have |

been presented to the Legislature in this connection, providing for eight judicial centres throughout the prov- ince, each to contain the'office of a sheriff and a crown prosecutor who would be full-time provincial officials. County boundaries would be remov- ed as jurisdictional limits of those in- volved in the administration of jus- tice: The jury system would be re- tained, and the pay of jurymen increased.

Scheduled for oblivion are the county jails, which would be replaced by a new system of correctional in- stitutions. One feature of this would be the establishment of ‘“classifica- tion centres” where persons, on be- ing sentenced, would be confined long enough to determine the type of in- stitution in which they should serve the rest of their terms with the best chance of rehabilitation. The prin- | ciple of provincial responsibility is established in the statutes for paying the costs and maintaining. “uniform- ity of all phases of the administration of justice in the province.”

Isn’t it time we took another lok at our own discredited county jail system in Prince Edward Island and at- the complaints which have been voiced from time to time with

regard to overcrowding and the lack of even proper sanitary. conditions, not to speak of facilities for cor- rection and rehabilitation? The New Brunswick legislation should spark, renewed interest here in the need for a thorough revamping of our jail system. It is a subject, certainly, which should get a thorough airing when our own Legislature meets.

What It’s About

The successful launching of the satellite Alouette II has been hailed as a big Canadian achievement, but the technological jargon in which the news was wrapped prevented us, heretofore, from saying anything in- | telligible about it. However, we came across a. layman’s explanation the other day and we pass it on to others who may be in the same dunces’ class in this field of knowledge, but who naturally want to know what all the fuss is about.

Mainly, it’s about investigating

| the inosphere, the topmost layer of

the earth’s atmosphere and the home of a variety of radiation phenomena which are still very imperfectly | understood. The inosphere has a special interest for Canada because } it greatly affects long distance radio communications. In its three years of operation, Alouette I has transmitted a great deal of new and valuable in- formation on this subject, and Alou- | ette II is expected to increase it. Alouette was launched in September 1962 and is still going. Both satel- lites are not only an all-Canadian product but represent a distinctive- ly Canadian approach to the explora- tion of space.

So, in addition to being useful in a country plagued with long-distance radio communication problems, the achi-vement has added. to: Canada’s prectige in the space age. Instead of dispersing our limitéd*resources in trying to imitate everything other countries are doing, Canada’s Defense Research Board wisely concentrated on one particular field. It is said that the design and performance of the two satellites has won general ad-

miration. 3

Since then, in Parliament and outside, Mr. Hays -has never looked back.

He has put together a “solid reputation for saying, — straight out, what is his mind.: whatever the consequences. Sometimes, the consequences have been im- pressive.

Defeated in the late election, ‘Mr. Hays has, predictably, re- vealed himself to be an ungrace- ful loser. That’s not to say that he's a bad loser. But he loses hard, as they say in.the trade. A former Conservative, Mr. Hays ‘was a surprised man indeed when he was invited to accept .a Liberal nomination and join the Pearson team. And he has sometimes wondered out loud if he did the right thing<in allow- himself to gét mixed up in polit- ics. However that may be, the fact is that he did.

The Western voters, he feels, knew exactly what they were doing and should, as. it were, suffer the consequences.
