Democracy In War-Time

\ ______. A section of llic Liberal press has been “CL-tug t.) tttisrctircsciit any criticism of Gov. crinnciit activities as being detrimental to public interests Ztllkl to the effective PTOSCCUIIOIIIOf tlic “m; 1n doing >0 they are fouling their own nests, both as iietvspapers and as alleged cham- liions of "l.ibcrztli.<1it'. It is true tliat_m war- time individual libcrty must be curtailed and the whole man-power niust be subject to plan- ,,,.,t mp1 if nQQt-ssllfy coercive organization. But this is a different thing from expecting British pcttjilc, like the (icrnuiti people, to ‘offer tinqtics- inviting uilitiiissitiu to dictatorship,‘ which l5 what the suppression of all crittctstn would uuiiiitiit to.

\\.‘c note that this is the very attitude taken by the London Sparta/or, one of the oldest and statinchcst organs of Liberalism in the Old Couri- trv. The S/“crltiltir \\'2ll'llS that "never was it more flIlPJYlIllll than it is today that Parliament wt] 1h,- Pruss slittuld continue to perform their functions with vigilance." The House of Com- iitriiis, it s11) s, continues to function as a deiii- wri-zttic institution CZIPJIlJlC of debating any ques- :io1i'tif jiolicy that arises, but it is limited in ifs j)t>\\t't' liv the ttnic factor. The iiiiiiietise range :if (iovcrnniettt zictivitics and the ever-growing rzittge of official regulations present so vast a fl('l’ of yiossilile criticism that only some of the "ltltjOf issucs can receive Parliamentary atten- qjﬂll. Li this respect the Press is able to cover '!\'l\lC‘f' grottiid as a vehicle for ventilating public opinion. "hide-ed, without the Press much -h:tt is being dine now by a ubiquitous and pow- irrfttl hurcziucracy would perforce pass withotit challciiigc. even when it is gravely. aggravating the public and causing serious loss or incon- "cniencc."

ticrntanjz says the Spectator, is a bureaucracy "rce from any such challenge. It can issue any orders it jilcriscs, and it need waste no time on pzicifyitig critics. ‘tut tinder British democracy it is essential to sound activity that public opin- ion be rcspccted. Candid criticism cannot be ilispeitsetl with, and the free give and take of such criticisms in the Press is “an animating zuid lirutltli-giviigg itiflticncc" which has already '7l'ﬁ\‘<"(l effective in exposing incompetency in l c rtziiu iiiittisteriztl departments.

Hitt even a free Parliamentand a candid_Press are not etiotigli, says The Spectator. “The Gov- t-rnr-cnt itsclf niust be urged to prove its desire

_ to tiphrtltl democracy, and to require its depart- : ments to pay attcrition to informed criticism.

Officials trusted with arbitrary power are too apt to acquire a team spirit of their own inimical to all opposition. But the more willingly the nation has entrusted extraordinary powers to the Government. the more it is incumbent 0n it to make itself the guardian of democracy, and

i the degree in which it is‘ at one and the same _ time both firm and sensitive to public opinion

will be the measure of its success."

Ubiquitous Tax Burdens

ff it in any consolation to those countries which are at war——including, of course, Canada

i -—it is worth nothing that taxation in the United

States, despite its vigorously proclaimed neu- trality, is running neck and neck with the most heavily burdened belligcrents. Nor does there appear to be any let-up in night, either ure- gards taxation or the spending of public money which renders such taxation a necessary evil. On this question the National Industrial Con- ference Board of the United Staten has been doing some interesting research work. From its report, quoted in l mainland exchange, the fol- lowiug figures are taken:

Before the Great War, back li-i 1913, federal, state and local tax collections in the United States amounted to $22.66 per capita. France led with $28.29, and Canada was third with taxes per ctipita‘ of $26.65. The United King- dom was fourth with $25.79, and Italy and Germany collected per eapita taxes of $14.59 and $14.33 respectively. In 1919 the United Kingdom had gone into the lead with per capita taxes of $90.26, and the United States was in second place with $71.10. The other four coun- tries were: Canada, $49.99; France, $63.36; Italy, $23.98, and Germany $19.27.

In 1938 Germany had assumed the lead with per capita collections of $109.69. The United

Wngdom was second with collections of $107.80, and the lfnitcd States a close third with per capita collections of $107.51. Canada's per eapita taxation had increased to $76.76, France

"$54.51 (for i937) and Italy $30.90,

(Toricurrciit with the increase in taxation was

‘ also the incrcnse in the per capita public debt.

ln the jirc-ivar (lays of 1913 this ranger] from

'l‘iv<-11t_v' years later, the United King- rlotifs public dt-lzt per capita had risen to $1,- 014.51), (This, of course, taking into account cx- pi-iitlitures for defence which had already com- It".!!lC8(l)_ Canada was second with $602.70; the (‘titted States. $432.65: Frat“. $414171 G"- mmw. 3;“); mid Italy $178.50.

The Provincial Public Health Department are busy finding ways and means of counteracting the Scarlet Fever outbreak. The first essential is to get parents and guardians to recognize the symptoms when their little ones show indication 0f indispositioii. “A stitch in time" saves many a nine in subsequent doctors bills and after-ef- fects oii the convalescent. But, of course, bet- ter still, prevention being better than cure, im- munization may be resorted t0, the recourse which practically stamped out diphtheria.

The fishermen of England are not worrying overmuch so far as German U-boats and mines are concerned. “The attacks on our fishing fleet will not stop our fishermen from risking their lives to bring us food,” Mr. F. Parkes, director of the Boston deep sea fishing company, of Flcctwood declared. The company has lost five trawlers as a result of the German submarine and mine campaign. “Tihcse attacks will only serve to make them more determined to con- tinue their peaceful calling," he said.

"The deil's airiaiig the professors" of_ Que- bec, evidently. Professor Adair of McGill has been blasting Mr. Chamberlain and Poland for not saving Czeclio-Slovakia; and riow Professor Gtiimont of Laval is similarly denouncing Prime Minister King and Ontario for favouring the deepening of the St. Lawrence. “As for Ontario and the “lest, from the economic viewpoint, the project is premature," he told a supper meeting of the Junior Board of Trade of Quebec. “As far as Quebec is concerned from the economic and political viewpoint the project not only is ruinous and illogical but in addition it threatens to break the national unity so vaunted in Can- ada and outside for some weeks." l‘ i U l!

A vitamin origiiialy extracted from fish meal and alfalfa hay has been declared to be saving the lives of hundreds of mothers and babies. The substance, known as Vitamin K, has been known for about a year btit the first clinical uses of it were reported before the Southern Medical Association meeting in Memphis by a group of University 0f Virginia physicians and Dr. Ed- ward Clay Mitchell of Memphis. The vitamin, now made synthetically, is essential in the body's manufacture of prothronibin, a chemical which breaks down to form thronibin, the essential element in the formation of blood clots. With- out it persons bleed to death despite all efforts of physicians to close a wound by artifical means. o u a a

General MacNaughton took pains to make it clear to the Canadian Press that he personally was not responsible for the discarding of the Highland uniform by the Highland regiments. The Department of National Defence corroborates this disclaimer, announcing that these regiments will be merely following the example of the British corresponding regiments in wearing bat- tle dress for training and in the field. Service dress with kiltt still will be worn for walking out purposes as long as serviceable. Newly- appointed officers will have one suit of service dress jacket with trews or service dress trousers for wear outside the theatre of operations, in- stead of buying the usual outfit with kilts. This change from kilts to battle dress has been carried out without clemur in the British forces by some of the oldest Highland azid Scottish regiments. 1F l

We quote this mystifying news item from that reliable publication, The National Police Review: “The new justice Building in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, is one of the most com- pletc and all-inclusive in the east. The new building, built in 1938, restores the original structure built in I897, and destroyed by fire in I907. The building includes offices and barracks for the local R.C.M.P. division; law courts, Iury room, Judges’ chambers, Law Lib- rary, Barristers’ Room, quarters for jail Gov- ernor, Sheriff's office and Registrar's office. Cell blocks contain 54 modern, air-conditioned, well-lighted, sanitary cells; two cells for city police prisoners, and one dark cell for solitary confinement of vicious prisoners." i it 1F 1

The reiterative qualities of the speech of Mr. Georges H. Heon, M.P., at the Ottawa Bank- ers’ Club have a pertinent force, says the Mon- treal Gazette. They opportunely stress the fact that both the French and the English Canadian people, all tolerant, law-abiding citizens are ab- solutely loyal to the Crown and fully cognizant of their true situation within the British Com- monwealth of free nations. And the special tri- bute the member for Argcntetiil paid to his French-speaking compatriots, that they “know exactly where their dutv lies, that they approve and will support each and every logical, mo- tivated. necessary mcasitrc taken to preserve the inviolability of their territory and ntaintain Can- ada's status as a free nation ivithin the British Commonwealth, was equally timely and just." Mr. Heon's forthright atldress will serve to re- move ivhatcvcr prejudice may exist anywhere against French Quebec. It will cleanse the minds of those who have had the idea-nourished bv

certain political cxlrcntists—that Quebec is “separatist,_ self-sufficient, egoistical unit Confederation.” - --- __

As Intlmlted In my last, to fel- low him 1n his initiations, on Ir- iievnlent creations of a fllihty 1m- oglnotlon would be a waste of time and space. The matter 1s too aer- Ious for burlesque, and 1 have no inclination for comedy.

Ho quotes me correctly (of Oct. 25th) that It was "not the war but the mirage of prospective pIOff-I that. so suddenly jumped the price." Then on 36th echoed:“there was no export." To exercise his sophis- try he adda-"On Nov 22, he said ‘It was this llnloading that enabled the present year to ah:w foreign butter export much greater than for nearly ten years back."

Adrolt-ly he says I ‘echoed there was no Export." He expected to get away from the fact, that It was the statement. of Mr. Jones that I "echoed", but to echo is not to or- lglniite or confirm. I dld say, which he avolds as he would a. hot Iron, that there 1s no evidence of any butter held In Canada. for English account, which Ia vastly different from his dmtortton to "no export."

I was dealing with “war prof!- tteertng" In butter, and since the declaration of war. There was cer- tainly a large overseas export of butter, but not at the jacked-up price of 28c. With s. carry over (as I explained) of almost 10,000,000 llbs Ircm 193B, lri May 1939, and the new product coming on the market. there was a panic export at that season, the "unloadlng” of which, at: 21 1-20 per lb most surely re- duced storage stocks, as It also pre- vented fresh butter from realizing its proper market value. . There were also exports to Nfld., and oth- er markets having no relation whatever to any war influence.
