Leacock On The Monarchy

An illuminating dessertation on Canada's Em- pire obligations and our relation to the Mon- archy is given by Prof— Stephen Lea- oock in the current issue of an American maga- zine.

Examining the Imperial Conference of 1926, on whose resolutions were based the Statute of V\’estminister of 1931, Prof. Lea- cock finds them to be vague and nebulous. But he says that this is characteristic, and even ne- cessary, for the constitution of the Empire itself is so vague it cannot be solidified. It is illogical, as was proved at the time of the Abdication when George VI began reigning in South Africa a day before he began to reign in England, and did not begin reigning in Ireland until one day after that_ Another legalistic curiosity is that the King is King of Ireland outside of Ireland, but not in it. According to their obligations in the League of Nations, three of the British Domin- ions are sovereign states; but this is in :1 Pickwickian sense. As he informs his American readers, many of whom will be astonished to learn it, "In the British Empire there is no com- mon citizenship, no common taxation, no com- mon army or navy, no common currency or legal tender, no common foreign policy.” Yet he be- lieves -that the great majority who think about these problems agree that the British Empire was never so closely bound together as now, never so free from any thought of dissolution or secession. and is, indeed, moving into closer, more organic union.

While the Statute of Westminster is the con- stitutional basis of the present relations between the Dominion and Great, Britain, in strict law, lays Prof. Leacock, it is as full of holes as a sieve. As regards the place of the monarchy, he says: “The new union is symbolized and em- bodied in the monarchy alone . . . so easily ex‘ plained a\va.y by Walter Bagehotat home as a constitutional nullity, and abroad as a rubber stamp by Goldwin Smith-——this has become the central fact, the real effective bond of the Em- pire . . .This new sense of unity under our monarchy has come over us in the Empire like a new wave of consciousness. It palpitates in the common thought of the common people as at once our destiny and our salvation.

Where The Money Goes

One reason for the fact that taxes are at an all-time high level in Canada today is the numer- ous patronge appointments of the King Gov- ernment. Notwithstanding repeated budget de- ficits and mounting public debt, the Govern- ment has been constantly increasing the num- ber of its employees, in marked contract to the Bennett administration which cut bureaucratic expenditures substantially during its term of of- fice.

This statement is substantiated by figures re- cently released by the Bureau of Business Con‘ rlitions. These figures show the number of government employees increased rapidly from r935 to 1931, was reduced from 1932, to 1935, ind since 1936 has again mounted rapidly,

In 1925, there were 39,946 government em- ployees. permanent and temporary, with a pay- roll of $74,221.00. In the peak year of 1931, the total nun‘.l>er of emplovees on the government payroll aggregated 45.581 with a payroll of i‘»94,3n,ooo_ At the time, the Bennett Govern- ment realized that the country was suffering from a depression and that it was necessary to curtail the number of government employees. In 1934, the total number of government em- ployees, permanent and temporary aggregated 40,469, with a payroll of $77.Io9.o00- Since that time, however, the number of employees and the payrolls have increased rapidly and. in 1938, ag- gregated 44,1o2, with a payroll-of $89,263,000.

It is generally agreed that a halt must be ca‘.- led to this mounting expenditure on bureaucratic services, but the King Government shows not the slightest sign of doing so.

Toronto Tackles Noise Problem Toronto has a noise problem, as has every

other city, and Toronto is trying to meet it by

I civic bylaw which has gone into effect with the

' approval of the legislature. Broadly speaking

\ A the bylaw makes unnecessary noise an offence or which ll’ fine up to $25 can be imposed or a

Jail term not longer than .six months. ‘Radio receivers, under the new bylaw, must be tripled low,“ and gramophones played with'soft " — ,'if "the ‘neighbors complain of the noise -_ »n;aloe_. It is against the law for any person ‘ bell or blow a hom or make any kind tlnnceeuary noise to the disturbance of bile‘; Airy ” caused by a state of disrepair or ' r— vehicle or» motor-

’ “grating, grinding or rattling,

ing attention to any performance, or sale or dis- play of.goods." '

There are, necessarily, some exceptions. Mili- tary- bands, bands playing under permission of the Police Commission, and the Salvation Army band are exempted from the provisions. News- boys, pedlars, hawkers and petty tradesmen calling their wares legitimately and moderately are not affected. Police and fire vehicles and ambulance, on duty, may operate their sirens or

‘ bells. Car radios may be played so long as the

sound cannot be heard 25 feet away from the machine. Railway trains are not affected, nor shops and plants connected with the railroads.

Perfect enforcement of such a bylaw, says the Ottawa Journal, would give a big city a measure of peace and quietness now denied most of them, but the noise makers will not change their habits over night even in the threat of a fine Nevertheless the bylaw should have a beneficial effect. It should prove of definite educative value, and the police will welcome the authority they are given to deal with those who needlessly fill the air with clamor.

The most popular and widely known U. S. A. Ambassador to Great Britain, has been the pre- sent one, Mr. Joseph Kennedy. Now comes word that he is about to lay down the cares of that office for, most probably, less onerous ones at home, to he succeeded by Mr. Myron C. Taylor former chairman of United States Steel Cor- poration. Some of Mr. Kennedy’s friends say he may leave London before the end of the sum- mer. It is generally believed that the Ambassa- dor will take some part in the Presidential elec- tions in 1940. Some say he would accept a Cab- inet post if the Democrats succeed next No- ve her, while others feel he has presidential ambitions, though Mr. Kennedy has not pub- iicly supported either of _these suggestions.

Things are slowly im- proving, especially among the permanent officials. But our ma- chinery for national advertise- ment, and above all for counter- propa-gsnda, remains far too small. We make no effective effort to counter the barrage of bluff and bluster with which the dictators prepare the round for their strategodl lomatc offenslves. We have so or given them a virtual monopoly in the deadly weapon of intimidation. The same unl- magtnatlve inefficiency has been notlcable in connection with both material and psychological "pre-

Yet those who know young peo- ple best tell us that during the entire year these young people have been what they want most to do d the two or three weeks of their vacation. And it is this doing what they have planned to do that means happi- ness to them. -

Notwithstanding that it means much happiness and satlsfactloxt to do what one wants to do, never- theless when one is “ready for" or "in need" of 5 vacation. both

I usually tell friends and pat- ients thav the biggest factor ln getting the most out. of a vacation is undoubtedly doing what one wants or has planned to do —— and this can be done and yet; the in- dividual can return home strong and refreshed from his vacation.

There is just one suggestion that I continue to make and that is that as so much mental and phy- sical work is crowded into the last few days before going on a vaca- tion, the first thought after ar- riving at one’s vacation spot. is to rest completely for two whole days. This allows the body to gain stren- gth and then this added sltrerlslzh is available to enjoy the vaoat.lon_.

Similarly, before the vacation period ends. one should again give the bod the last: two days for rest-. I means arriving home strong and rested instead of weak and tired. This method. which ap- parently causes a loss of four days in vacation really means a gain, for while the vacation days are shorter in number they are long- er in enjoyment because there is atlrength with which to enjoy

Barbadoes Celebrates

The island of Barbados, one of the British West Indies group, is holding a most.

There was a. time when Barbados was inclined to hold proudly aloof, conscious of its long tradition of independence and freedom. But. now, accord to the trade wmmlasloner, it is be- coming “more and more convinced of the value of closer co-operation between the governments of Bar- bados and the other West Indian Islands."

The history of the House of Assembly goes back to the year um _when the first settlement of the colony took place. At. that time Klng Charles I granted the island, together with others, to the Earl of Garllsle, by letters pptent. legislative power remained

the hands of the governor and council tlll 1639, when the fahlfd governor of Barbados, Henry Hawley summoned an elect- ed assembly and set. up the first llament. But. it remained for is successor but one. Phlllp Bell, to “give the assembly an assured st.at.us." of much interest is the declara-
