British Policy In India

An emphatic note of urgency is struck lIY i119 United Kingdom Government's Statemﬁlll of policy for India inadc in both Houses of Parliament. The statement reaffirms ill tllti clearest language the intention of I-Iis Majesty's Government as announced September i9 to convene a coixslitutitin-iiitikiiig body lll India as soon as possible. llis hlaicstfs Government ‘,. have not receded from that policy, but India is in thg grip o: an electoral campaign and in- sinuatioiis are being handed from the platform reflecting on British good faith. The burden of these tiniustified suggestions is that His Majesty's tjoveriinieiit are planning postpone- ment of the accession of India to Dominion status and tha- they may use the proposed dis- missions between the Viceroy and the elected representatives of British India mid representa- tives of the Indian States immediately after the elections ss a Ilclaying factor.

It is points-l out in London that while there will bg no dday on His r\'lzijesty's Government's part in striving to scctire the wisest measure of agreement on the method of framing India's future-made constitution, it will be for the Ind- ian Parties to see to it that their differences of lim and outlook are not allowed unduly to de- fer the consummation of India's self-governing Ispirations.

It is in furtherance of British policy as stated and reaffirmed on December 4 that the .' Government has decided to send a non-partisan g5 ' delegation to India. These representatives of the chief British political parties should be able personally to contribute to the removal of niis- understandings as they will certainly testify to the earnestness of British intentions and the iincerity of British good-will.

Finally it is observed that the December s statement concludes by sounding the necessary

transition period which must intervene before India becomes fully self-governing "could not permit any attempt to be made to break down the loyalty of the administrative services or the Indian armed forces and that they will give full support to the Government of India. in securing that their servants are protected in the perform- ance of their duty and that the future constitu- tion of India shall not be called into being by force or threat of force.”

India will have need of internal peace both for settling the many difficulties inherent in her constitutional problem and for tackling success- fully the extensive projects for social and eco- nomc welfare which the Government of India have outlined, and for the execution of which His ll/Iajestys (Soverii-nient are giving every en- couragement. Until the new constitution comes into being the Government of the country will have to be carried on with due respect for the maintenance of "law and order and for those charged with their maintenance.

Orders-ln-Council

Canada is not the only country having

,__ trouble wit-h orders-iti-council. Britain is also _.having hers. Early this month, the House of Commons at Westminster gave second reading in a bill designed to introduce a uniform and rnore satisfactory method of handling the prob- em. The bill, known as the "Statutory Instru- merits" bill, provides that all orders-in-council must be printed, numbered and placed on sale by the King's Printer. Exceptions to this rule can only be iriade by a specific act of Parlia- ment and would presumably only apply in cases of orders touching on security. There is no obligation, under the bill, to

lay orders before Parliament unless again there is special provision for this t0 be done in an act 0f Parliament. Where they are subject to an- nulment by resolution, however, they must be laid before both houses and a forty day breath- ing space allowed in which they can be voided. Thus Britain's new bill would seem to re- move the worst feature of the order-in-council, namely the possibility of the existence of a large body of unpublished law. By it they will b; made ls public ss any other form of law and this is what is needed.

Service Needs Streanlining

The war in Europe has been over more than six months: the Japanese war three. Hun- dreds of thousands of servicemen have return- ed from overseas stations and been dischlrgcd to civilian life. There are more men looking for lob: today than there are immediately available vacancies.

And yet, iiotesthe Financial Post, the De- partment of- Labor is continuing an employ- Iient system born of wartime necessity and mm! to an emergency economy, when iobs . were plentiful and urgent, workers few and

1 ‘C ﬁnd. Employers of labor now have been gfsnted _ ' t. privilege of publishing their names in i sement! for help wanted, but the ap- ‘on must still be made through the cumber- chsiineli of National Employment Serv- ' ‘i-ylcemen may receive “open per- up ifousid‘ for iobs if they heir of " . they must still return to the Inca! chleftiiins snil spend ti! line, to iisve Ihier per- wmrsi I»

warning that the British Government during the '

TEL

gests, would be to remove the long queues of men waiting for employment bureaux to pass them through the extensive process 0f docu- mentation and inquisition now in vogue. Let men and iobs come together in the most direct manner possible, and then let the department concern itself with the kernel of the pr0blein-— the men who lire left unemployed.

It is the Post’: contention that National Employment Service should continue to func- tion, but as .4 service, not as an executive auth- ority. It should stand ready to provide work- ers for iobs that develop and cannot be filled through normal, free channels. It should be ad- vised of employment vacancies as they occur and as they aredilled, so it can help men who do not know where to look for work. But it should not b: permitted to impede this coun- try’s normal business and industrial develop- ment by insisting on handling, individually. the placing of every one of Canadafs 4,000,000 workers.

Llewellyn, the last of the independent Princes of Wales, was killed in battle with the English at Builth, North Wales, this date 1282; since then the title is not actually inherited; it is conferred by special creation and investiture on the eldest son of the British King soon after his birth. Edward I, to gratify the national feelings of the Welsh people, promised to give them a prince without blemish on his honour, Welsh by birth. and one who could not speak a word of English. He then, in order to fulfil his promise literally, sent Queen Eleanor to be confined at Caeriiarvon Castle, and the infant born there, had of course, all the three char-

Province-wide sympathy and from far be- yond, will be extended to the H0n- ]. A. Mathieson and his family in their great bereave- ment. Mrs. Mathieson for many years licld a leading place among the women 0f the Pro- vince, her great ability and natural ilesirc to be helpful, being at the disposal of many worth- while movements, especially in the early days of such organizations here. She will be perhaps best remembered for her long and valuable as- sociation with the I.O.D.E. as Regent. All her life she was the centre of literary and artis- tic circles, and her home became practically s salon reminiscent of the old days of literary London, Even as a student at Prince of Wales College she set the literary pace, and was leading member of a Shakesperean Club, of which alas, she was the last surviving member. Though s staunch and inspiring upholder of the Conser- vative cause, of which her husband was so long the able and successful leader, she never took any public part in political organizations, though her advice and assistance were sought and great- ly appreciated by those who did. As a daughter of the Hon. David-Laird, the outstanding states- man of his day and generation, Mrs. Mathiesoii was‘ brought in intimate. contact with the leading men of Confederation, and entered largely Into the life and work of those early politlal pioneers. Later when her father became Lieut- enant Governor of the North West District, it fell to her lot to organize and develop social

effect. Back in Charlottetown, Mrs. Msthieson" was among the first to realize the desirability of women being in closer touch with education ofthe young. and helped to organise and em! on for s number of years, the Soliqol- Ind Home Association.

IS DR. CHISHOLM MORALLY JUSTIFIED‘?

Sin-As I have just had an op- portunity to rend the text of Gen- eral Ghlsholm‘s recent address In Washington, may I be allowed to make one or two comments upon It and upon the discussion which It. has produced?

In the first place: we shall do

ls a very young science, which by Its “emplrlcal" nature ls subject to much uncertainty and ls In con- stant need of a revlslon of esti- mates, It has contrlbutecl much to our knowledge and un rstandlng of man's belng, and for t Is we are deeply grateful. But, as Is commonly the case wlLh "youth", it ls prone to cock- sureness and Intolerance. Borne of its exponents luck the humility which, more than ever today, Is a happy characteristic of the older sciences and of the best. type of scientist. , The apprehension of truth re. qirres the co-ordlnated activity of the several parts of man's belng. 1t can never be a purely rational process; for "he coeur a ses ralsons que la ralsori ne commit pas", and "If any man do hls wlll, he sliiill know of the teaching." Psycholog- ists must recognize (as many do) the limitations, as well as the pos- sibilities, of thelr science, They cannot leave out of account “tne more excellent way" of the great sciences of philosophy and {hr-o}. ogy; and by themselves they rim- not speak a final word about the great realltles of human life. Secondly: It ls Important to grasp the real issue ln the controversy which has grown out of Dr. Chla- holm‘s address, and to fIx atten- tlon on that particular part of the address which has Inevltably pro- dllCEIl_5l.I'0KIZ criticism. Some of the things lie said can be approved and welcomed. The Issue ls not the right of Dr. Chisholm as a scientist to co tinue hls work <n his particular leld, but whether lt_ is morally justifiable for hlm In his present office (which ls set. up and pnld for by the people of Canada through Its governmsni.) to make pronouncements which are not merely debatable in the realm of psychology, but are manifestly objectionable on those moral grounds which most Canadians a!- flrm and for which they are deep- ly concerned,

In a word. are Dr. Chlsholm‘s utterances In hls Influential and responsible poiiltlon "ethically Propel‘ ? As he is apparently a moral hlhlllst, thls phrase erhnps lacks meaning for hlm] n that event hls superior officer ln the Canadian government must answer‘ for hlm. The pleas on behalf of Dr. Chis. holms freedom of expression as n scientist, which have been made by certain groups In Canada and the United States. are thus beside the point. As a psychologist who ls no Qnker in a posltlon of prlvllege he would have complete freedom to continue hls investigations, But In the circumstances, he cannot ex. pect to have It both ways. As things are, he cannot clalm a right to make n declaration of “valui=|": which In any case do not come within the realm of hls gclence, whose function Is to observe and correlate “facts? ‘Ihlrdly: There ls not space to discuss Dr. Chlsholmh remarks at length or In much detail; but 1 would ask to be allowed to crltlclze hls reference to "the tree of tee knowledge of good and evll" In the Creation narrative, and the use which he has made of It. In thlr very beautiful story there Is In- deed sound psychology. But to claim that s common source of knowledge of dlstlnct realities, de. clsred to be "good" and “evll", is evidence t at these things have nu essentlal dfference and are “dlf- ferent aspects of the same thing" Is not very sound reasoning. Good and evll are constantly Intertwln- ed, but they are not undlffei-sn- tlctsd, I

The whole meaning of the Dlvlns Actlon whlch follows the transgres- Ilon story (of which Action the Bible In the continuous record) ls based upon the resllty of the antl- thssls and confllct of ﬂood Ind evll; known by man In hls innermost ex- perience ss “we our-solves noon wlthln ourselves", and ss ‘the whole crestton zrusnsth, and trs. vulleth In paln together untll now" -—urid surely never niors thsn In
