OTTAWA: General Pearkes. V. C., the Conservative M. P. from Vancouver Island, recently referred to the almost complete absence at Ottawa of the kind of frank inter- pretation of the political news which takes lmcrican, British and

This select group of members of the Gilded Mike Club does not include some of the outstanding political analysts in Ottawa. who have long done an able and con- scientious job praising the govern- ment when they believe this due, and not fearing to criticise if they consider its actions to'bc ill-judged. Their omission from the C. B. C., list of speakers, it is commonly be- lieved here, is because, not find- ing in their digging that every vein of government activity is pure gold, they are nut afraid to say so. Their frankness would not be appreciated over the airwaves.

The solution to what is a very real tll re a l. to our democratic freedom of the press could be the complete abolition of this lure of C. B.
