He thought the threeareas can be better served by combining the services of the three commuuitie and said the only real objection to this is 'In the minds of the people'. He maintained there is an answer to the problem and we must find it without worrying over who will eventually have to pay the cost.

Term Lotteries

OTTAWA, (OP) - Two Pro- testant church groups today des- cribed stste lotteries se detri- mental to the moral. social and economic well-being of Canada.

The Christian Social Council of Canada. which serves es the so cial relations department of the Canadian Council of Churches. said state lotteries are "the offi- cial sanction to one of the shadlest of all rackets.”

The woman's Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada opposed all forms of gambling and chance-taking. Lotteries are Lap- pslllngly bad" economics and dry up sources of voluntary charity.

Both groups presented briefs to the Commo . -Senate committee on capital .snd corporal punishment and lotteries. -

The Christian Social Council claims to represent 80 per cent of the Christian population - other than Roman Catholic -in Canada. Members include six Protestant churches, the Salvation Army, the Society of Friends and the na- tional YMCA.

The woman's mimionary society said it has a membership of 90.- 415 adult members. Affiliated ndult and Youth groups accounted for 170,000. It maintained 112 mls-i sionaries overseas and 151 in Can- nda.

Wary of 'Interests'

The council warned that gambl- ins interests mivht succeed in gaining control of state lotteries, such as the case of the Louisiana state lottery. abolished in 1894.

A 3,500-word brief said:

"Legalization of gambling has not been. is not, and never will be a substitute . . . for honest, ef- flclent law enforcement."

The missionary society said in s 2000-word brief:

"Gambling is n created risk: its purpose an evil one . . . It can become on this continent a vicious iracket' using snowballintz profits to finance political corruption and social evils.

Both groups said the Canadian Hospital Council. which represents provincial and other hospital as- sociations in Canada, are opposed t6 the principle of raising funds by lotteries.

The council said that very little money collected in lotteries would find its way into hospital coffers.

It said that less than 19 per cent of the money collected in the Irish sweepstakes goes to hospital The society placed the percent- age st lzio per cent.

Poor People Pay

On that basis. the council said. a Canadian lottery needed 8500.- 000,000 to provide s100.000.00'i for the operation of Canada's 600-odd hosnltals for acute diseases.

The missionary socletv regarded lotteries as a tax on the people who can least aford it. The re- turns to the Cl--ritable organiza- tions were low. There were great gains for s. few and nothing for mi-HY.

The council. quoted the former Canadian Conservative prime min- ister. R. B. Bennett. as swim: in 1934. during Commons debate of a bill to legalize lotteries. that "the evidence against lotteries far outweighs any sunnort that can be found either in the past or the present.”

Former prime minister Macken- zie King. then opposition leader. was quoted as saving ha wps in "er;'tlre agreement" with Mr. Ben- ne .

British Bole . ln EDC Becomes Hot Topic

By Alan Harvey (Canadian Press Staff Writer) LONDON. (CP) - The European

Defence Community snd Britain's role in it has become one of the most controversial topics of the post-war years.

The Manchester Guardian Tues- day crltlclzed editorially what it called Britain's tendency to pay closer attention to the Common-' wealth and the United States than to her European neighbors.

This was prompted by a speech in Belgium by Philip Fotherglll, chairman of the Liberal party, who said the Commonwealth coun- tries and particularly Canada would be relieved if Britain were to pay more attention to her Eu- ropean responsibilities.

Similar opinions have been ex- pressed by other serious newspa- pers in Britain, concerned about finding some constructive solution in a Europe long agltuted by Ger- man attempts at domination and French efforts to resist that dom- lnatlon.

Assurance Needed

The Observer. on independent weekly newspaper. holds that Brit- alr. should give the wavering French an assurance that British troops will not be withdrawn from the continent for a fixed mini- mum time.

"Thls commitment." says The Observer, "ls today the indis- pensable British contribution to maintain the cohesion of the At- lantic alliance, as necessary as French acceptance of German re- armament and American accept- arce of the principle of territory. as distinct from peripheral, do- fence in Europe.”

On the other hand. some in- fluential voices insist that Brit- ain. safe for centuries in her gir- die of the seas, should beware of continental entanglements. regard- less of ' any changed strateglcal conditions caused by flying bombs and guided missiles. One of the stronger opponents of EDC is the group of newspapers owned by Lord Besverbrook.

Negotiations between Britain and France on the former country's association with EDC have beenl proceeding for weeks, with "leaks" from Paris suggesting that a method is being sought whereby some British troops could be in- tegrsted in a European army.

A Gamble

The whole question of EDC has
