CHABl.0TTET()WN WEDNESDAY. NOV. 1!, l9.'i3 The White case

Canadians look with some amazement at the developments in the campaign of the House of Representatives Committee on Unamerican Activities. It is interesting to speculate on what the situation would be if the episode were to occur in this coun- try. '

There is the difficulty that a President occupies the position roughly of a com- bined Governor-General and Prime Min- ister. There is no doctrine of "separation of powers" intrenched in the Canadian con- stitution and that is .the point which Mr. Truman seems to be relying on most heav- ily in declining to admit the right of a House committee t'o subpoena him.

If a committee of the House of Com- mons, investigating say unculturai activity, were to subpoena. a former Governor-Gen- eral and Prime Minister it seems likely

t that the unfortunate politician would be obliged tto appear or be reported to the House. An order would immediately be made for his attendance and if he still re- fused, he might be "ordered to be sent for in custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms."

In the case of the former Governor-Gem eral, however, things would take quite an- other turn. The executive government is vested in the Queen and is exercised in her name by the Governor-General. The Queen is answerable to no one and the Governor- General is answerable only to the Queen. The task of the Prime Minister is to as-

sume responsibility for royal and vice-regal I

acts. If he is not prepared to do so he must resign.

It would seem Governor-General can,

then that the former tell the committee

to call his Prime Minister or Prime Min-v

isters if there were more than one during the period in question. The Prime Minister called out of retirement would then have to answer for both. t

0liurcIiiII's confidence

Sir Winston Churchill's statement in the British House of Commons, that he thought the danger of another war had ”diminished or at least become more re- mote" because of changes inside Russia. will relieve and encourage people around the world. Other men, notes the Edmon- ton Journal, have said much the same thing in recent months, but none speak with the same authority as Churchill. On his record as a prophet of danger before 1939 and in the early years of the cold war, he is the last man who could be accused of crying peace when there is no peace. His sources of information about happenings behind the iron curtain must also be at least as good as those of any other leader in the West. Nor would he commit himself so boldly in the House of Commons if he did not feel full confidence in his estimate of the situation.

The British Prime Minister appears to endorse a theory which has been put for- ward recently by a number of British ex-

meager to allow for rapid atomic develop- ment. Especially useful will be the decision of the Atomic Energy Commimion in the U. S. to exchange information on a more extensive basis: Mr. Howe, the Minister of Trade and Cormnerce, has pointed out that the AEC's new policy will help Can- ada to by-pass some of the experimental work the country's scientists would have had to perform before production of elec- trical power from nuclear fission could be undertaken. ' The British have already picked a site at Caitliness, Scotland, where a generating plaiitwill be built to supply northern in- dustries with power derived from atomic energy. A corporation, set up on com- mercial lines, will take the development out of the hands of a government department. The Caithness plant is to be staffed by 1,- 200 scientists and technicians, and rapid progress is expected. , The Americans, too, are far advanced. They built their first pilot plant in Decem- ber, 1951, with an experimental reactor that generated enough power to run a few motors and to light one or two buildings. They have put up a second station since then, while a recently-completed submar- ine, powered by nuclear fission, might be regarded as a third. Washington's atomic energy commission believes have its first commercial plant by 1957. This would leave Canada well to the rear were it not now for the prospect of obtaining a greater share of information. A relative shortage of trained technical men has been a constant hindrance to Cana- dian progress in atomic energy studies. At Chalk River, the staff has been busy get- ting the reactor NRX into operation fol- lowing the accident last winter. Con- struction is still proceeding on the reactor,

NRU, designed to help find answers to problems arising from the. conversion of nuclear fission into electrical power. If

Canada is to have any hope of keeping

pace with Britain and the U. S., help from

these two countries seems essential. :-:-mz-m-

The divergence between British and American policies towards China is at present the most seri- ous gap in the political defenses of the free world. Because ,in this matter the Bf'lHlh and American points of view are so far apart. than ll an obvious opportunity for Commun' i diplomacy to drive in I wedge . . .

In its simplest terms the con- trast msy be stated by saying that America wants I tougher policy towards Communist Chins than Britain in wluinx to pursue. It would nevertheless be mixloadinl to put the matter in this way without qualification, for tough- ness in international relations is not merely I question of making defiant gestures or grimly refus- ing to speak to an opponent . . . Britain, indeed, is no less con- cerned thln America to contain Communism in the Far East and to restrain the new regime in China from nxxreuive expansion. In relation to South-East Alla. Britain has even more ground: for concern than America. for large numbers of Chinese. are un- der British administratlon in Hung-kong and Malaya: and these territories are for more accessible to Chinese Communist attack than are the Philippines or Okinawa. The difference of opinion, there- fore, is about the methods to be adopted for resistance, not. about the desirability of :eslstlng.

Americans, whose awareness of the malevolence of the Pekins regime has been sharpened by the experience of a war in which they have had thirty-five times as many soldiers killed as the British, are inclined to take up an attitude of uncompromising antagonism; they claim that with such I regime only toughness pays. The British criti- cism of this line is that in fact it is not tough at all; real tough- ness might or might not pay. but in any case it is no longer being advocated. There was a case for the MacArthur policy China, but it was rejected by the American Government, British pressure but, as General Bradley has made clear in his re- cently published memoirs. on the
