Non-War Expenditures

Estimates submitted to Parliament by_ the Minister of Finance call for non-war expenditure of $702 millions for the pfelfllt 51!?“ Yfirfa" increase of $55 inillionscompared with the fiscal year recently ended. This is accounted for by 1n- m-est on tllg public debt, which has jumped from $184 to $260 millions in the last twelve- monlh. But it is an arresting fact that what the Government classifies as non-war expenditure has risen from $427 millions in the year before the ivar to $702 millions in the fiscal year “P011 which we entered on April I. Total debt charges in the year before the warwere $13! 111111101"- This increase in expenditure, says the Globe g4 Mail, is due in no_s_n\ell measure to the rapid expansion of the civil service. The Fed- eral payroll is the biggest in Canada. Compet- ent authorities estimate that there are now 15°.- ooo persons employed by the Dominion Gov- ernment, one out of every 45 of the population. exclusive of the men and women in the armed services. This is equivalent to r or i6 divisions in the army-many more than anads. will have on the second front. From the taxpayer's point of view, the worst of it is that the majority of these civil servants will be reluctant to retire when the war ll Over- History is littered with evidence that the most natural impulse 0f bureaucracy is to grow. Heads of Government branches in Ottawa _in- variably try to glorify themselves by reaching out for more territory, by expanding their scope and enlarging their staffs. A brief look around will quickly convince any observant person that the bureaus which started off very modestly at the outbreak of the war are new crowded with people whose salaries are paid by the 13X- payers.

When the war is over the bureaucrats and their staffs will want to hang on. They have been operating the levers for a long time, and they like it so well that they will never let go if they an help it. So they will produce a new sot of problems vvhose solution will require their special brand of ability. Europe will have to be fed. There will be problems of rehabilitation and reconstruction. They will say rationing and

' control must be continued. There will be legislation to provide for social security from the mills to the grave.

So the armistice will not brin demobiliza- tier-i of the Government bureaus. Taxation will have ts be continued at a high level to maintain them.

Homes for the very young orphans have been established throughout the country, and there are also the Suvorov Mili- tary Schools. All of these institutions are run on model lines, with the children in the care of carefully chosen and experienced staffs.

In districts liberated from the German oc- cupation, many difficulties confront the organ- izers of children's health services. Personnel who formerly worked in these places are being recalled and equipment and medicine supplied. Epidemics and infectious diseases resulting from Fascist occupation are bein rapidly wiped out. Branches of the Medical Service working far in the rear organize polyclinics, nurseries and hospitals which can be iflhsodiately set up in newly-liberated areas. T also share with these areas their own equ pment, instruments and manuals-and what is most essential, send them qualified people for the new institutions.

A lady doctor, Dr. Frances McGill teaches the Mounties mcdico-lcgal work in Regina. She is a retired doctor from the Saskatchewan Public Health department ivhich she served 2 years. She entered private practice as a special- ist in skin diseases upon her retirement in i942. On the dealli of Dr. Power, medical specialist at Regina, she agreed to carry on his laboratory work both as a. technician and as an instructor for the R.C.M.P.

“Educational unitslarger than the one-room sfloola are needed to give every Ontario school child equality of educational opportunity by utilizing to fullest advantage the newest scienti- fle aids to education.

"Of 7,489 schools in Ontario, 5,377 are one- lnoin schools. New aids to education cannot be given full effect in s. school in which one teacher hstructs children whose ages range from 6 to i6.

"Some of the ethical standards taught in one- roera schools a generation ago could well be re- vived today-but do not let us confuse the prin- ciples underlying education with its general practice. Our system must adjust itself to new facts. With transportation available to nearly every one, small educational units are not as necessary today as they were 5o years ago."

Safeguarding Russian Children

How the health of Russian children is being protected in wartime is described in a recent bulletin issued by the Soviet embassay at Wash- ingion. At tlic beginning of the war, serious difficulties confronted the institutions respon- sible for child health protection. Mobilization of fathers for active service, mass employment of women in industry and agriculture, evacua- tion nf children from threatened areas and their i-ccsttiblishiiiciit in new homes, necessitated a rapid extension of the nursery and kindergar- ten systems. llundreds of new institutions had to bc organized and equipped, uninterrupted lll]1]>ll(‘$ guaranteed for the children's mainten- lncc and zirrangcments made for women to nurse their infants at their places of work.

However they had a. profitable two days at llor- den learning all they could in the time about the prospects of digging a tunnel or building a causeway. They have now gone back to Mon- treal and Ottawa, hoping to revisit the Island when conditions will be more pleasant for sound- ings, etc. It is understood an investigation, if finally undertaken, will occupy over a year, and cost in the vicinity of $100,000. A tunnel, if agreed upon, is estimated to cost $100,000,000, while s. causewa would run up to about one third of this. These, of course, are unofficial estimates, but tend to substantiate the quotations given in different letters appearing in The Guardian recently.

Changing Attitude

1n leav the subject of l'€lflfl0l’liflllg‘0f legal tribunals to juvenile offenders, o. passing re- ference may be made to n change which is taking place in the 8t- tltude of many persons towards law itself.

More especially within the East two centuries and partlcu rly among our neighbours to the South, tliei-e emerged and had been developed a conception of law which may be described as “lndlvlduullst1c". Rights of ln- dlvlduuls were stressed. Some of these were: freedom of develop- ment, freedom of competition, freedom of contract, mid the sanct- ity and binning nnturc of con-

These were to be the basis of the organ- ization oi the new and 1111199911551"; society in the new land. The pas- sion for freedom had become so impregnated and ingrained lnto the spirit of this people that they declared no Act of Parliament or Act of Congress should ever do violence to those principles or ln- tcrferc with those basic rights. Any attempt to do so should for- ever be unconstitutional. The de- elaratlon of rights 5a announced “was heard around the world.” Revelllng in the luxury of'tl1ls newly found freedom, the life of the new citizen expanded. No bounds except his oivn capacity were set to his energy or to lils ambition. Under tin inspiration of the new freedom there occur- red the tremendous expniislon of the past two centuries. The de- velopment of this individualistic spirit, of free enterprise, lins been accompanied by an incredible ex- pansion of law, defining individual right-s. Success be 0nd all cal- culation or predict on resulted.
