Presidential Power in a recent issue of the New York Times, James Reston, the pa- per‘s Washington correspondent; takes note of the war-making power that has been given to the President and ‘a few trusted advisers by the Congress. ' 4. Mr. Reston writes in part: “A little more than a generation ago Woodrow Wilson went to his grave

O

convinced-that the Senate held Such.

a hold on the executive that the President had’ no freedom of action to conduct an effective foreign pol- icy. Today precisely the opposite is the case. The Senate and the House of Representatives have handed to! the President the power to defend Qemoy and Matsu if he likes and to use atomic weapons at his dis- cretion.

“The House gave him this power Jan. 25, 1955, by a vote of 410-3. The Senate approved it three days later, 85-3. Senator Hubert Humph- rey of Minnesota complained at the time that once the President had publicly asked for the authority, the Senate could only reject it or ac-

, cept it in the sure knowledge that if it rejected it the President’s au- thority would be undermined. “When President Franklin D. Roosevelt made the comment dur- ing the 30’s that the United States’ first line of_ defence was ‘on the

Rhine: the outrage in Congress and in the country was so great that he felt obliged to deny that he had ever said it. Nowadays, Sec-' retary of State Dulles can commit. the United States to‘ oppose aggres-

sion right up against the Southern!

border 'of the Soviet Union, and the the President can order the 7th fleet within artillery range of the China

coast; and scarcely a question is-

raised by the Congress, the press or the people".

It is, indeed, a tremendous

sponsibility to place on the "shoul- ders of one man or" one small

group of men—no matter how wise '

or how careful he or theymay’ be. But perhaps ,there isno alternative these days When war, if I it “crimes, is not likely to, be preceded by the blowing of trumpets or the sending of leisurely'ultimatums. A similar situation would probably obtain in Canada if—which God forbid—the. Government should ever find them- selves in the position of having to make a quick decision respecting war without waiting for parliament- ary formalities to get underway.

. Forthright Politician As forthright politician of the year we beg leave to nominate Nel-

son A. Rockefeller, this year’s Re- ,

publican gubernatorial candidate in

» the State of New York.

Most politicians, especially those who are running on the Opposition ticket, appear" to be believe that the right way to approach the electorate is to promise, if elected, to “reduce taxes”. It often works, too, even when in the same platform there is a commitment to increase public expenditures. It is a strange thing; but only in public affairs can people be persuaded that there is nothing incongruous about a policy of high spending and low taxation. The old belief» that governments have un- limited resources, regardless of how much or. how little is taken in, is by no means extinct. In fact, it is still very lively.

This is where Mr. Rockefeller

comes ingAt his first political meet- I

lnghe was asked to state his position With regards. to. future tax reduc- tions. His reply deserves to become a classic. “You’ve got to be realistic about this thing”, he said. “We’ll have‘to see what we‘have in. terms of, income. We’ll have to see what state expenditures are goingto be. But I don’t think it is a very en- couraging picture”. In reply to the question as to whether if elected, he‘7WOhld rule (out the possibility of an increase in taxes he was equally

frank and honest. “Not at this point”, i

he said. “I'm not in a. position to say what the fiscal positiOn will be in detail next year".

This is such a refreshing depar-

ture from normal political humbug

that we thought it would do our,

readers good to hear about it. Whet-

her it will help Mr. Rockefeller in I

his election ‘campaign it is difficult to say. There is really not much to go by; for this sort of forthrightness or guilelessness—whatever the right name for it is—has seldom been tried. ‘

Prevent Crime . The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in this Province, as all aeross Canada, are appealing to citizens to help prevent crimes before they oc- cur. They make the undeniable point that it is better to prime than to have to arreSt and charge a. citizen in the courts. ' ' This is a matter inwhich all can

I help. It is, of course, a duty of citizen:

ship to assist the police in apprehend- ing criminals. It is even a more valu- able service to the community and the state to prevent someone from starting a career of crime.

The suggestions in pamphlets be- ing distributed by the R.C.M.P.,.are practical ways of making crime less likely by removing temptation. All too often theft results because it seems to someone that it is easy to steal

The Nild Grant

Premier Smallwood of Newfound- l

land is reported to be angry over the ﬁndings of-the MacNair Royal Commission, which recommended a special annual payment of $8 million over and above all other grants, and‘ very, very angry over the Federal Government’s refusal to make an interim grant of $8 million‘ tothe Province, pending further consider- ation of the" Commission’s recom-- mendations. Mr. ‘Smallwood has

gone so. far as to ask God to for-

give him for recommending certain members of the Commission. The one Commissioner recommended by Mr. SmallWood was the Chief Justice,

' of Newfoundland, Sir Albert Walsh, a staunch Liberal in his political

heyday. ' , ‘ I With due respect to Mr. Small- wo‘o‘d, we cannot see that .he has

much cause for complaint. Had the.

Provincial Goveimrlent .accepted.‘ the findings of the Comrxﬁssion, the first

payment of $8 million Would1 have "

been received for this year’s, budget. But since' Mr. Smallwood and his colleagues Were not satisfied with the recommadations, . there aurer

; is no obligation on the part of Fed- eral authorities to'make any pay- V

ment whatsoever until the whole, issue has been reviewed by Parlia- ment. Newfoundland 'cannot expect to have its cakla and eat it, as the saying goes.

Further, we do not believe that Newfoundland“ has any reason for

complaint With respect to the Com- ‘

mission’s findings. True,,the sum recommended was not as great as

.r that requ'esbedby the Newfoundland

Government. But in relation to grants received by other ‘Atlantic Provinces in the normal course of business it seems to us to be quite liberaland as much as Newfound- land had any right to expect.

EDITORIAL NOTES '

A famous criminologist says he has never heard of a pipe smoker being convicted of a crime. It should be an easy matter, therefore, to bring about a crimeless society. Let governments everywhere pass laws making it compulsory for everybody to smoke a pipe. ‘

iBoionce That School Lunch

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. WITH kids he ck in school again, let’s give some thought to providing a good nourishing lunch for them. .

Whether they eat at home, at the school cafeteria or out of a lunch box, the noonti-me meal must provide at least onethird of their food requirements for the day. ’

LUNCHEON LIST

Every 1uuch,should include the following: ' V

l. A vegetable, preferably a raw one,

2. Meet, a meatflavored dish or some other diSh that is high in protein.

3. Fruit or dessert.

4. Bread and butter or fortified margarine. '

5. Milk or a milk drink.

There can be as much nubi- tive value in a cold plate as in a hot one.

Naturally, it is easier to pre- pare an adequate lunch athome ' but you must seeiha't a child’s lunch box‘ contains a well-round-_ ed meal. too.

VARY SANDWICH

The main dish in a packed lunch generally is a sandwich. You can vary it by using‘diffem’emt types of meat, fish cheese or eggs."1‘hese can be plain or mix- - ed in Sandwich fillings. The bread used should be enriched or whole- wheat. b ‘

Even a packed lunch should contain milk, either in food or drink.

.Raw vegetables are especially advisable in a packed lunch since

and add crispness as well. Some vegetables, of conmse. keep better than others, but .I suggest that you‘ wrap any of you

they supply needed food values ,

NOTES BY THE WAY a

We have often commented in these columns upon the obvuouus ne lect of wines in our govern- mgn't liquor stores. We have ob- jected to the way those who wrap the bottles toss about those'wmes which should be handled with re- spect and have noted that this arises out of ignorance and in- di‘fference. Knowledge of wmes is ubt widespread in this country and the pleasure of fine Wines for table and other use are not known to many-Kingston Whig- Standard ,

WATER SKIING

Trials, A Chairman

, By Patrick Nicholsoh . Special Correspondent for The Guardian

' Ottawa: 'A bitter disagreement on principle cleft the parliamen- tary Liberal Party in the dying days of the session, and only com- promise and jockeying in the mid- night lamplight prevented sensa- tional events hitting the headlines. Last month the Liberals gave the honourable position but dif- ficult task as chairinan of the Public Accounts Committee to Montreal M.P. Alan Mannaugth- tou, who is one of theil‘aw prom-

‘ inenlt survivors of the Liberal dc:

havcle. v - a

As Liberal chairman of that pre- dominantly Oonseruative commit— teen Macnaughton _ soon found

‘ himself torn between his personal

principles and his party's politi- cal opportuuisrm. He has: had cause to resent that Liberal trait ever since he was passed over by the then Prime Minister, Mr. St. Laurent, for promotim to the Cabinet four years ago. He had shown himself an able and up- right politician in his five years

i Parliament, and he was under:

standalbly disappointed when he was deprived of the widely ex— pected recognition by Mr. St. Laurent’s act in bringing outsider George Mai-let into his Cabinet and into Parliament, as topua-nk- i-ng English-speaking represents; l’JlNe from Montreal. ‘

The witnesses questioned by the.

, Public Accounts were

devastatingly disclosing gross in~ efflcienos and waste by the pre- vious Liberal Government, in the matter of the $116 million dollar Palace. /

His party colleagues privately demanded that ’Macnaughton, as chairman, should crack down

toughly on the Conservative ques- tioners. Their more embarrassing questions should be ruled out of order, as liberal chairmen had

been doing he Conservatives in-

committee for many years past. PRINCIPLES PREVALIL

But VMacna-ugthton is a lawyer both honest and ethical. He had once been Crown Prosec‘tor him- self. He knows 'tlhat‘in a court} of law the udge allows a ques- tioner t6 bore in on any witness who seems to be lying or with. holding relevant facts. He stuck to. his principles and rejected his party’s demands. ' v

In a stormy Liberal caucus, it was apparently demrnded that he should resign from the chair- manship. But he disapproved of the boycott of the committee be- ing staged by his party collea- gues, and he iii-tended to continue the duty he had undertaken. He refused to resign. The Liberal party was in an uproar. Led by Plclkersgill and Chevrier, two ex- Cabinet Ministers, they demand- ed that the party’s interest be served. Liberal Leader Lester Pearson alone supported Malenau ghton, who was shocked thbt his two chief persecutors do not un- derstand that there is now a new Liberal Party with new Liberal principles under the newgPear- son leadership.

Alan Maciiaunhton said he was getting a pretty rough time from his own party. He was expected to cross the floor of the House and join the Conservatives, ra- ther than be read out of the Lib— eral Parry. . '

THE DAMINING REPORT _ Matters reached a climax, as at

' Maine Goes No More

By George Kitchen, Canadian Press

American politicians used to like to quote a shopworn election slogan that went: “As Maine goes, so goes the nation."

That meant that if Maine, which customarily votes two months ahead of the other states in congressional elections, favored

, a particular political party the

rest of the country could be ex- pected to follow suit.

The old saw this pretty well been discounted in recent years

but this time it may just prove'

to be right.

Traditionally Republican Maine voted Monday and went Demo- cratic in a big way It elected a Democrat—Hits popular 44-year-old governor, Edmund S” Muskie—.40 the Senate for the first time in 47

years, put another Democrat into '

the House of Representatives and elected a third to the governor's chair being vacated by Muskie. TWO BIG ISSUES

All in all, the Democrats won four of the ﬁve major offices at stake. .

Judging by that performance, President Eisenhower’s Republi. can forces are in for a bad time when the country as a whole on Nov. 4 elects 'the remainder of the 435 members of the House of Representatives and one-third of the 96-member Senate. ‘

Two basic issues emerged out of the Maine con-test and the Democrats, who control Houses of Congress, can be ex- pected to, dovelbp them in the larger campaign for the Nov. 4 vote. One was foreign policy, the other the celebrated Sherman Adams case.

GOLDFINE FAVORS

Muskie hammered away at the president’s conduct in the foreign field but kept his approach on a high-level plane. His Republican opponent, Payne, defended the Eisenhower program and made much of the fact the president had “kept us out of war.”

But Payne's defeat can perhaps more accurately be credited to

' Why Mr. Green Sew Recl

By Daniel Behrrnan,‘Unesco Features

. Mr. T.L. Green is a lean, wiry Englishman who believes in speak 'ing his own mind. For eight years while he was a professor of educa- tion at the University of Ceylon,

. he spoke at great length concern-

ing science teaching. , Certain things made Mr. Green see red. For example. children studied science in textbooks writ- ten in the West. When they came

to studying temperature control.

of mammals, there was always a chapter entitled: “Keeping Wai i.” '

“Keeping warm seven degrees north of the Equator!" fumed Mr. Green.

Then, one day last year, Mr. Green learned that the Govern- ment of Ceylon had requested a science teaching mission from the United Nations Educational Scien- tific and Cultural Organizatipn~ and that he had been requested to fill the job.

Back at Unosc‘o House in Paris on leave, Mr. Green recalled in an interview: “The government told me: ‘You've talked a lot for

eight years, now do something’ . . .almost in those words.”’

At‘any rate that is what. he set out to do, erdistimg the aid of Mr. ‘B.J.P. Alles, heap of technical and scientific education in the Ceylonese Ministry of Education. One year later, they had a great deal to show for their efforts.

Six laboratories are now equip- ped at Maharalglama Training Col- lege 12 miles from Cblombo, the capital of Ceylon, whre 250 fu- ture science teachers are now be ing .tvrained. Refresher courses have been given to 500 teachers and science teaching units have been set up in more than fifty secondary schools.

One science teaching film has already been made by the govern- ment's audio-visual unit and an- other one on the all~imp0rtant subject of rivers and the earth’s surface is now in the works. A Science Supply and Maintenance Centre, designed to meet the. needs of teachers throughout the island for equipment, is function- ing in Colombo. ‘ ""\

session’s end, chairman Macon» gihton drafted an interim report to Parliament on the work of the committee.

His Liberal colleagues said his draft was too criticial of the for- mer Liberal government. Conser- vative committee members said that it did not sulflcrlenntly under- line the mismanagement of that Liberal government. So Macnau- ghtion withdrew his draft, and Con servative David Walker and Lil)- eral J.W. Pickersgill slit uphalf the night together composing a compromise limit, Later Pickers: gill , rejected that compromise, and brought in his own draft, ope timistically typed in English and in French.

Once they’ve assessed the Maine results, rank-and-file Re- publicans can be expected to re-

new pressure on the White House ,

to dump Adams before he be- comes too'great a liability for. them to carry in the nationwide November balloting. LAST EARLY VOTE Whether they will succeed is doubtful. Eisenhower already has admitted that Adams was impru- dent in his relations with Gold- fine but has refused to dismiss him on the grounds that he “needs” the} shrewd ex—goveruor of New Hampshire in the White House. This was the last tirne’the northern state, which juts into Canada between New Brunswick and Quebec, voted ahead of the rest of the country. Starting in 1960, it will vote the same day as the other 47 states.

This, apparently, is only the beginning as far as the energo do Mr. Green is‘concerned. When he talks about teaching science in Ceylon, he bombards you with statistics and ideas. A mobile science teaching unit. . .(“W h y not? The world already has mo bile libraries, mobile cinemas and mobile hot-dog carts”). . .Provin- cial science museums. . Science teaching at the Palaly Training College in the north for Tamil- speaking teachers all these are part of his job.

He preaches the teaching of .

science in terms which fit into the daily life of Ceylon. Instead of problems of heating, for lu- stance, the science class should study the techniques of home- bullding so that houses can be kept coo‘l. . A

“Science teaching should also help the Ceylonese to gain a thor- ough understanding of Western technology so that they may take from it only what they can really use,” he said. “After all, the Ceylonese had their own tech- nology hundreds of years ago.
