Political Conflicts

With four provincial govern- ments now running for re-clection well before the expiration of their present. terms, and with the pos- cibiiities of an early federal contest; hanging over the country, we can expect no escape from political ora- torical fallout during the next. few weeks. Quebec's election excitement will be over on \l'cdnesday. New- foundland’s on November 19. Prince. Edward Island's on llcccmbcr 10 and Manitoba's on December 17. Ru- mors that New Brunswick might: join this parade to the polls have not materialized. though a double by—election on December 3 to fill two Legislative seats is scheduled.

The Fredericton Gleaner notes, as a curious coincidence. that in all

cases “special issues" have been set. up by the governments as reasons {for calling their snap elections. In Quebec it is nationalization of elec- ‘tric power: in Newfoundland n, special program to aid fisheries; In Manitoba the implementation of a four-year development plan: in ‘Prince Edward Island a shift of the cost. of hospital insurance from a premium system to payment out of general revenue. Curiously, too. this last. issue is the same one by which the Liberal government of Premier Robichaud won power in New Bruns- wick in ‘960. Another curious thing is that. while the merits of the hospital iii- aurance issue are still in dispute across Canada. and the dispute ob- viously cuts across party lines. in this Province the matter does not now seem to he in issue at all. At least. Liberal Leader Matheson maintains that the Liberals are also in fsVor of paying the cost of the plan oIit of the l’i‘oviiico's general revenue. There were othci' matters of importance mentiond in Prem- ler Shaw’s election announcement, but none that could he described as "issues" in the sense that they in- volve a direct policy conflict. be- tween the rival parties. However. the Liberal platform has yet. to be announced. Since both parties will be fighting to win, we. may expect that they will find is- sues enough on which to join battle. “Greatly to find quarrel in a straw" will suffice if nothing else turns up; and there will be lusty echoing of another resounding Shakespear- lan Shibboleth: “Lay on. Macduff; and damn’d be him that. first cries. ‘Hold. enough!‘ " There is still hope that. for at least a few precious days be fore Christmas. political tensions across ' Canada will have relaxed and there

will be opportunity of thinking about. f'oliher matters more. in keeping with ; the amenities of the season. The ; slain will still be lying on the fields 3 of battle. the. victors still chanting : their pecans of triumph at. the polls: j_but for most of us the dust of these _-political conflicts will have settled, - and their memory will have already ' begun to take the long slide into th) limbo of the past. ,

to a desire "not to have the apple- cart upset by another electiOn." It was all very well, it says, for Mr. David Lewis “self-righteously to be rate the. Liberals for what he calls their ‘insatiable hunger' to get into the government benches," but it suspects that this was arrant hypocrisy on Mr. Lewis' part.

However, says our W i n n i p e g contemporary, “the Liberal party gained no advantage—either to- wards bringing down the Govern- ment or in the eyes of the elector- ate—by scuttling its principles and voting for the Social Credit amend- ment in the hope that the NDP would come. along and the Govern- ment thus would be defeated. Lib- eral. speakers tried to explain that the party was there to oppose the Conservatives, not Social Credit. If that is so, they should explain why. on October 2, the Liberals refused to vote for the Social Credit no- cnnt‘idence motion because to have done so would have been to have Voted for Social Credit principles.”

In office, says the Free Press, “the. Liberals would have nothing to do with such nonsense but in the meantime manoeuvrings of this kind, while they may amuse some who fancy themselves as strategists, simply increase public cynicism about politics and politicians." The Free Press, plainly, is not amused. Nor is it particularly happy at the necessity of having to add. in all fairness. this rider to its editorial comment:

“Out of all the non—confidence mot ions, amendments and subamend- ments only the Government emerges unscathed. It is a debatable question whether the Government program is enough to set this country back on the path towards financial solv- ency and to promote confidence in the Canadian economy abroad. But at least the Government. is making an honorable effort and is apparent- ly determined to stand by its meas- ures. The other parties Would halt these measures, but none has made very clear what they would intru- ducc as alternatives."

Pope John's Visit

His Holiness Pope John figured in a news story from Rome the other day which had nothing to do with the. Ecumenical Conference to which he. is now giving such exhausting leadership. It was a brief story about his visit to some. 240 juvenile delinquents in a reformatory, to whom he brought a special Sunday dinner and gifts in cash. Something else. too, he brought—a simple, heartwarming appeal to the young- stars to look to their future by learning how to obey and having “confidence in the Lord.”

The Pope's eyes were moist, says the news report. when he appeared before this audience in an ancient reform institute in a back section of Rome near the Tiber. The boys. too. had moist eyes. They had gone all out. to prepare for this gracious visit: scrubbing floors, painting walls. improvising a throne—a gild- ed arm chair placed on a carpet. They had put, on white shirts and ties and their best Sunday suits. It was a touching occasion for every- one.

A great contrast, here, to the solemn pomp and ceremony at the Vatican proceedings, to the historic conference now in session and the momentous issues involved thereat. But. perhaps. after all, this little episode is more important than it seems. It throws its own revealing light on the character and person- ality of the aged man on whose shoulders so many responsibilities rest. and who can take time out for such parochial ministrations as this.

He could have sent a deputy with his gifts and his message, and the children-would have been honor- ed by his remembrance of them. But: they were too much in his thoughts for that. He came himself. He want:- ed them to know how much they counted, how happy the pleasure they derived from his gifts would make him. how much faith he had in their response to his words of encouragement.

An inspiring example, this, of what Christian charity truly means.

TOOK THE WIND OUT OF HIS SAILS'

OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson

Mounting Interest lniQuebec Election.

The results of the Quebec I Provincial election on 14th No-l vembcr are being awaited her with impatient interest by poli- ticians of three parties. with only the NDP. who are taking no part in it at all, quite un- concerned.

The "unneccssary election" is being held less than 29 months after the previous Quebec poll- ins. Rut it is believed here to he likely to have interesting re- percussions on the federal scene. no matter which way the ballots are marked.

The issue is described by ma- ny observers as being frankly "free enterprise versus social-l ism". Liberal Premier Jean Le- ssee called the election to seek public approval for his propos- al to nationalise hydroelectric power companies in the pro- vince. llis opponent. Union Nationale leader Daniel John- son. does not basically disagree i that Quebec should do wh Ontario and other provinces have already done — although he prescribes certain studies before any hasty action.

Deeper than the power issue is seen the hovering shadow of Rene Levesque. Minister of Power and Minister of Hydraul-

Hormones Aid In Conger Fight

Iv Dr. Theodore E. Van Dellen

THOUSANDS of have lived 10 or more years with cancer of the prostate. They take hormones that do not cure but keep the malignant cells in abeyance. These men remain comfortable and are able to continue working and many live out their life expectancy or die of something else. This plan is followed. provided the disease cannot eliminated by surgery or X-ray. .

The prostate is under hormo- nal control and cancer cells originating in his atom are affected profoundly by certain glandular secretions. Their growth is suppressed by female hormones and stimulated by male sex hormones. When the use of female hormones is u of enough to stop the growth, the surgeon recommends castra- tion to prevent the manufacture of testosterone. Now and then it also is necessary to remove other endocrine glands, such as the pituitary and adrenals. that stimulate or govern the repro- ductive system.

any of these men have been “ snatched from the jaws of death subsequent to these oper- ations and the use of female sex hormones. Pain disappears, appetite returns, and weight and strength increase. The results are miraculous but should not be misconstrued as curative. Eventually the hormones lose their effect and symptoms re- turn. But, by that time. many of the victims have lived their normal life expectancy.

A corresponding situation ex- lsls among women with incur- able breast cancer. They im-

afiber the use of male sex hormones. plus the remo- val of the ovaries and or other endocrine glands.

Many promising chemical de- velopments are available in that treatment of other malignan- cies. The anti-metabolites. such as aminopterln and metholres- ate, lend to suppress the growth by starving the cancer cells. Nitrogen mustard, ,chlo- rambucll. T myleran are alkylating agents that de- stroy cancer cells. Actinomy- cins also are outstanding among anti-tumor compounds.

Various other drugs are on trial and an antidote or cure is bound to follow as we learn more about the growth and de- velopment of the cancer cell. Numerous authorities believe the solution to the problem will be found in a chemical remedy.
