Some of these have already been used iuocooofully against the enemy.

Canada's Blind

The twenty-fourth annual report of the Can- adian National institute for the Blind ll cheer- ful reading with tho assertion that last year was the most successful and progressive period in its history. This statement is backed up with a record of establishment of the Institute in every province of the Dominion and in Newfound- land; that with few exception: there are no blind people in Canada unknown to the Institute; that the Institute is equipped to receive, reeducate And rehabilitate all the men who may suffer loss of sight in the war; prevention work is going forward; employment of blinded persona is well up; provision for residential, vocational and re- creational centres is increasing.

There has been a marked increase in the em- ployment of blind persons during the war. De- fails are not given u to what form thii em- ployment is taking, but a comparison of statistic! indicate! that a considerable portion of it i: in cafeteria service in factories and that type of concession work. In its shops the Institute is having difficulty getting materials. In the libr- ary section there is a diminution in the number of Braille books, especially those which former- ly came front Etiglaud. Talking book machines and rccortls are bccotnitig increasingly difficult to sccurc also. Ilowever, the library got 600 new Braille volumes last year and each day it reports Pbst office trucks carried the outgoing stipplics of thcse books and brought back others. The lnslitulc library supplies not only the Do- iniuitati, but also Ncivfoundlattd and the British West ludics.

Although no accurate statistics are available, rays the report, it is probable that at least a quar- wr and perhaps a. much ltigher fraction of those now receiving pensions could be removed from :he classification "blind" if arrangements could be made for surgical treatment for their defec- tive eyes. To the natural question ‘Why?’ the answer is that n0 funds are available for trans- portation and alterations required, and second- .ly, that tnauy recipients of pensions feel that if they were restored to the seeing world, they would not bo so oconontically secure a: they are now. Neither of the rbosoru lo good enough. It il a relief to know that the Institute luthor- lties are making every effort to clear up this lituation.

A Dangerous Tendency

Mr. lvaltor Lippmanmnotod Amerleinvvriter Ind war commentator, ltao reached the conclus- ion Ihat the smooth working of the American system of government ll being impaired, to the detriment of the war effort, by on unfortunate divoreernent between the aetivitlel of the re-

and executive officials, otherwise styled the bureaucrats. The separation of powers under the American political system has always creat- ed certain difficulties, but in his view these are now being aggravated by the tendency shown by many of the bureaucrats to ignore the people's representatives. The same tendency may be noted in Canada.

Mr. Lippmann is particularly severe regard- ing the growing disposition of tuctubers of the Cabinet ‘and high officials to resort to the radio for sudden announcements of important changes of policy, arguing that, under a system of rep- resentative government, this method is unsound in principle and unsatisfactory in practice. “The radio,” he writes, "has the great defect that you cannot talk back to it and that you cannot ask questions, and therefore it is the most undemocratic of all ways of inaugurating a new program which requires popular support, if the program is to work.”

So he cites with disapproval the plan adopted to inform the public on the Administrations new program for rationing canned goods, which is a novel experiment with many complicated fea- tures, not easy to tuiderstaud. Mr. Elmer Davis, the Director of War Itifortnation, and l\Ir. Claude Wickard, the United States Secretary 0f Agriculture, each tirade an announcement about it, and left the public to make the best of what it heard. llut l\lr. Lippntann main- tains that the proper and more effective pro- cedure would have bccn to announce the policy to Congress and have Secretary Wickard ex- plain it to a Congressional committee which could ask him questions.

Mr_ Lippmann thinks that such things are done in a much better way in Britain, and points out that Mr. Churchill, ip offering reports on his stewardship and making important pro- nouncements of policy, never neglects to use the House of Commons as his first forum.
