Mr. K. And Christianity

Mr. Khrushchev is a professed atheist, yet observers note frequent reference to Christianity in his talks as he perambulates the United States. In his most impressive speech since his arrivals the Soviet leader -urged Americans to acknowledge ‘Communist ,idealism as being close to Christian aspirations for uni- versal brotherhood. “We seek,” he said “to build a society where there will be complete equality as, by the way, was preached by Christ. And if you look into our philosophy. you will see that we have taken a lot of Christ’s precepts regarding, for instance, ‘love thy neighbor’. Such is our aim.”

The obvious answer to this boast, of course, is the massacres perpe- trated in Hungary and other coun- tries under Communist yoke. But waiving this objection for the. mo- ment, there is another one which is equally cogent. While in the primi- tive Christian society emphasis was placed upon the brotherhood of man, this was but a corollary to the doc- trine of the fatherhood’ of God. Mr. Khrushchev doesn’t beliéve in God. Humanity, in. his view, is a race of spiritual orphans, so that the term “brotherhood” loses all.the meaning he professes to attach to it. His mouthings about -Christ’s teachings touch merely the economic surface of life, ignoring the fundamental truth that God is not only the father and creator of man (which is why we are brothers) but also his saviour and redeemer. i

Christians believe that beyond the narrow circle of the tribe, in which a parochial “honor among thieves” is maintained, the brother- hood of man is.impossible for man to achieve in any other way than by enrolling himself as a citizen of a “Civitas Dei” which transcends the human world and has God himself for its king. We trust that somebody will explain this vital point to Mr. Khrushchev the next time he talks about Christian brotherhood. Since he distrusts theologians, let him be referred to the historians. To Arnold Toynbee, for example, who makes this distinction between Christianity and Communism ?vary" “clear in’ his great work “A Study of History.”

The Marxian excerpt from a Christian Socialism, says Dr. Toyna- bee (and here he seems to be talk- ing directly to Mr. K.) is an experi- ment which is doomed to failure be- cause for all its material gains it has denied itself the one thing needful— the spiritual power which alone is eapable of making Socialism a suc- cess. This is the long-range view of the issue, and it applies to. every form of. totalitarianism which seeks to command the religious no less than the political allegiance of its sub- jects and impose itself upon their minds as the supreme object of worship.

Saskatchewan Liberals

The new Liberal leader in \Sask- atchewan, Mr. Ross Thatcher, is a convert to the old-lixe party and a former CCF Meminflag Parliament for Moose-Jaw who was defeated when he ran as a Liberal in the 1957

and 1958 federal elections. At the’ - convention in Regina this week, he

nosed out three Liberal MLAs to

succeed Mr. A! H.. MacDonald of Moosomin who resigned the _ pro- vincial leadership because of ill ‘ health.

Mr. Thatcher's chief opponent at the convention was Alex Cameron, member for Maple Creek who is the Opposition’s financial critic in the Legislature. It was expected that the majority of Liberal members in the House would support Mr. Cameron. o MLAs who came out publicly r Mr. Thatcher after he had an- nounced his candidacy later revised t positions - and informed Mr. on that they would back tim.

face, which will leave the pundits speculating.

One reason, it is suggested, is that Mr. Thatcher said he would favor the sale of all provincial Crown corporations (except the power cor- ‘poration and the telephone system). Another is that a group of Regina business men pledged support to Mr. Thatch®r—but on condition that the pledges: would .be- honored only if he were chosen leader. There are also rumors that Mr. Thatcher and the Regina group agreed on the need of.a revision of Saskatchewan’s la- bor legislation—a_ revision that would result in legislation more favorable to management than to labor.

In recent public statements Mr. Cameron said that one candidate (whom he did not name) was attemp- . ting to set provincial Liberal policy ~by his own pronouncements. With the same candidate’ in mind, Mr. Cameron expressed his opposition to anti-labor laws and to a policy that would. give preference to segments ‘of the population. Whether this be- hind-the-scenes battle had any effect on the convention decision is doubt- ful. At any rate, Mr. Thatcher has come out on top and there is no doubt that he will be an aggressive leader. The question is whether he will be able to re-unify the party, which has fallen on evil days. His record as a political maverick will be hard to live down. ‘ '

Premier Douglas’ CCF govern- ment is-expected to go’to the coun- try next year. The last election, held in June, 1956, gave it 36 seats, the Liberpls 14 and Social Credits 3.

Poor Returns” The Canadian reading public, of- ten puzzled over thé lack of native authors, now knows some of the rea-

_sons why they are still waiting for

“the great Canadian novel.” The Can- ada Council has been looking over the. problems of creative artists in

ficulty in finding why authorship is usually a sideline to steady employ- ment with an assured pay check. The sale of 2,500 copies of a Can- adian novel in English is a “good sale” for which the author receives

| 35 cents on a retail price of $3.50,

according to the Council. This repre- sents $875 in chsh for the author, and less after the income tax depart- meht takes a nibble out of it. A sale of 15,000 copies could bring in $5,000 but the Council found only a half- dozen_have reached this figure in re- cent. years. Author’s. royalties on “paper backs” range from one-half cent to one cent, depending on the author’s popularity and the price of the book. French-language authors are lucky if they collect more than the publisher's advance of around $200.

The Canada Council would like to encourage more Canadian writers ‘through grants and a change in the tax structure so that tax payable on a published work would be spread over four or five years, instead of the present three years. The Council does not favor total exemption for those engaged in part-time creative work.

EDITORAL NOTES

The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation contested only one of the two Provincial by-elections in Que- bee last week. Its Provincial leader, running under the title of Social Democrat, polled 3,281 votes (out of 15,035 cast) and lost his deposit. °

It is encouraging to note that em- ployment in the Atlantic Provinces continued to improve during August. The number registered dropped: by 3 per cent from July—the fourth successive \month that a downward trend has been noted.

Of civil servants and their politi- cal rights the Edmonton Journal has ‘this sensible thing to say: course, civil servants have the right to vote as they please, but if they should wish to take an active part in partisan politics they must first resign from the publie service. This applies to governmental employees at all levels. It does not make them ‘second class’ citizens, as some civil servants contend. It is simply keeping politics out of the civil service...
