May 30 It Is!

A May 30-provincial general elec- tion has been in the cards for-some time, but it was not until Saturday evening that Premier Shaw played his hand and confirmed the press reports -

ae “0 this effect: “Even —his—opponents— ‘must admit that. the old maestro was in top form in presenting the main issue on which the election hinged and which, he emphasized, was the chief if not the sole reason for appeal- ing to the people at this time.

For, of course, it was only on Dec. 10, 1962, that the government receiv- ed its last five-year mandate. The Pre- mier himself had frequently pooh-

‘ hooed the idea that he was entertain- ing any idea of a snap election at this. time. Yet the whole tenor of the last legislative. session, from the’ opening __Speech_ from. the Throne to the

_ stormy debate which preceded the prorogation, convinced the public that a showdown was in the offing. ee

“Opposition Leader. Alex Campbell

‘says the Liberal party. is ready, so

_ there won’t be any complaints on that score. What it was waiting for, he said, was the Premier's ‘announce- ment of the major campaign issue; and now we all know what - is going to be. As Mr. Campbell phrased it speculatively in advance, it is “the ~~ government's. handling ofindustrial ~ development which has been shown to~ be inefficient and wasteful”’ As the Premier put it in his broadcast, it is the “vicious campaign of misrep- resentation” that has heen waged: against the government's program that is in issue, and on which the people must pass judgement if the __program is to go ahead ‘as planned.

PAGE 4

___ Every base method to discredit the government has been employed, the Premier insisted; particularly with regard to its development in the, Georgetown area, though the arrange- ments there represented sound in- vestment and were equal to, if not better, than any in the Atlantic region. He dwelt especially on the provisions for dragger construction, and on the vital importance of. this policy in. the overall development scheme.

Also he maintained.@hat full in-

formation as to the government’s activities had been given in the Legis- lature. 110 questions, on the order paper had been answered, and at least 300 verbal ones. Yet even after all the information was in, opposition members kept complaining that it ~wasn’t in their hands. Our farmers and fishermen were threatened’ with being “sold down the river’ by this campaign, and it was for the. people themselves to put a stop to it. The government had decided that they should have the opportunity as soon as possible.

All of which, of course, invites rebuttal and adds up to a pretty lively campaign. Let’s hope that the body blows will be above the belt as much as posible!

A Grim Ressonibility

The Liberal cabinet has until mid- May before it reviews the first death sentence following the decision of the Commons by a majority vote to retain capital punishment. Altogether, it must consider. the fate of 15 men under sentence at the time the issue was under debate. It is a grim re- sponsibility indeed, and no one will © ‘envy the government its task.

One of the first ‘cases may be that of William Tamas of Montreal, sentenced to hang May 13. But the sentence in the Tamas case is under appeal to Quebec court of appeal and may be -postponed. Lloyd Dennis Lynding of Edmonston will also have his case reviewed early next month | by the cabinet. He was convicted of

murder and is, due to. hang. May..18.. after all appeal processes have been exhausted His-hanging-had-been-set.... for April 5, but he was granted a.re-

prifye until the May date while the

q

debate was under way m Partiament.

In the Commons vote 18 ministers voted for abolition.and six for retain- ing capital punishinent. G onsequent- ly, the majority of opinion within the cabinet certainly will tend to favor * continuing commutation of all death sentences. All such sentences have been set aside for the past | three years. But to continue aléng this course

.would be to go against the will of

the House: It would be a denial of its tacit agreement to make its future actions conform to the wishes of the nation’s elected representatives. :

« It has been suggested that if Mr.

Pearson finds it impossible to live with the decision made in a free vote, *

an alternative could come through. a declaration of government policy on capital punishment and the weather- ing of whatever storm: such action

| initiates. It is also argued that the.

cabinet should atleast commute the death sentences of those at present _

waiting execution, since the offenders

and the. juries and judges in their cases were reasonably-sure-that-the sentences would not be carried out.

A strong abolitionist, Solicitor- | ~General Pennel says the cabinet ac- ir ay a

will “continue to operate within the”

law.” But this doesn’t afford much clue to the course it will. now take. If ever it could be said of a political decision that it shoyld given “‘prayer- full consideration,” surely it is in this case!

The Devil’s Wages The Financial Post provides some revealing and startling facts about. il-

legal trafficking in the drug-heroin.

It notes editorially that smugglers of pure, uncut heroin are paid about $30,000 a kilogram (35.27 oz.) upon arrival in the United States. Then the” American distribution machine, con- trolled by the Mafia, takes over and the price of the white powder sky- rockets.

There are an estimated 100,000

‘addicts in the U.S., but between the .

time the heroin arrives and the time it reaches the addict, it has passed through perhaps 20 hands. At each stop it is cut or diluted with milk sugar and its value doubled in propor- tion to its weight.The addict, who

generally pays $5 for a-smalten-—;

velope, gets less than one grain (.0045 oz.) of pure heroin in the mixture. The Post: calculates this gives the

Mafia a profit of“more than $1.2 mil-

lion per kilogram!

‘It is this fantastic profit, of course, that makes the traffic so hard to stamp out. Men will go to murderous lengths to participate in such gains.

And once involved-in-the-syndicate,

they risk. being murdered themselves

‘if they attempt to quit. That is why

reports of Mafia activities in this country—in Montreal and on the Pacific Coast especially—are so much

a matter of police concern.

Whether making’ the drug avail- able through a doctor’s prescription at no cost to the addict, as is done in England, is the answer to this serious problem- is still somewhat in doubt. But there is no doubt as to to the danger which such evil organizations as the Mafia represent to any country in which they take root. And of the,

_need, so far as we in Canada are con- | cerned, of forestalling this design by

every means in our power.

EDITORIAL NOTES

From Glasgow comes the report that there are still nearly a thousand Scotsmen who cannot speak or under- stand English. They know-only Gaelic, the ancient language of the High- lands. However, the-use of the old tongue has diminished greatly over the yea more than a*quarter million Scots; today the figure is 80,000 in a popula- tion of five million.

‘There was a good deal of joking in Canada in 1944 when Parliament passed the Family Allowance Act pro- viding monthly payments for each

child. But an exchange recalls that .

the system wasn't exactly new. King Louis XIV announced a system of “baby bonuses" for Canada on April 5, 1669. Couples with 10 children re- ceived a yearly pension of 300 livres, and this was increased to 400 livres for families with 12 or more children. ° a * .

Cancer. Crusade

By Dr. Theodore R. Van Dellen

THIS YEAR 190,000 Ameri- cans will be saved from cancer. Approximately 300,000 will ex- pire and, of these 95,000 will die needlessly because they did not consult their physician in time for earlier diagnosis and treat- ment. Many of them never learned the seven danger sig- nals-of cancer or perhaps they did, but reasoned “It can't hap-

‘| pen to me.”

Today not everyone with can- | cer can be saved becaase some malignancies are difficult to recognize. until far advanced. This sneaky disease begins in one of the tiny cells of the ee that reproduces itself by div: ing into two cells which in turn redivide ad infinitum. We do not know. what initiates the change except perhaps that a virus al- ters the genetic code of the cell or that the growth ‘is influenced by hormones, irritation, or oth- er internal changes.

All descendants of the origin al-cell__are malignant. Some break away and invade neigh. . boring structures or spread to

lymph passages ( stasis},

Best results are—obtained when cancer remains localized but oc- casionally it* spreads before -it has grown large enough to feel: -with-the X-ray. No one knows why some spread rapidly whereas others do so more slowly.

The exceptions are cer- tain medicines used in treating a few rare cancers.
