Human Rights

The social committee of the United Na- tions has proposed two covenants on human rights for consideration by the general as- sembly, one on economic, social and cul- tural rights and another to cover civil and political rights. The division is for the purpose of making it easier for the latter at least to be adopted should the first prove unacceptable.

In this country the whole question has a somewhat academic air for the Federal Government, which is engaged in the ne- gotiations, does not have jurisdiction over many of the matters involved. They are Provincial fields of legislation.

Oddly enough the British North Ani- erica Act provides for Parliament to have power to give effect to treaty obligations but the courts have ruled that these pow- ers are limited to treaties binding on this country but entered into on its behalf by the British Government, which just does not happen any more.

Canada's constitution requires revision of the section dealing with power to carry out treaties and bring it into line with pre- sent day diplomatic practice.

Whither Drifting?

We are passing through strange times. changes taking place occasioning hardly more than momentary notice, and yet with consequences that may prove revolutionary. patriotically and internationally.

Take, for instance, the innovation of a native-born Governor-General. Irrespective of the fact that a better choice could hard- ly have been made than the Rt. Hon. Vin- cent Massey, it is a momentous departure from precedent, and has been brought about without the consultation and approval of Parliament. Who authorized the new de- parture in our system of government, and who was responsible for the selection of the new head of the State?

There can be but one answer-the gov- ernment for the time being. It may all be for the best but that is not the point at issue. What is at issue is the right of the executive to bring about such a rad- ical departure from use-and-wont without consulting the representatives of the elector- ate, and even while Parliament was pro- rogued.

It is admitted an emergency had arisen. The Government of the Mother Country was in desperate need of a highly compet- ont Minister of Defense and found him in the person of our Governor-General. To enable him to transfer his services from Ottawa to London a successor had to be found. Up till now the powers-that-be in London selected the prospective new hold- er of the office, and submitted several choices for the approval of the powers-that- hc in Ottawa.

At the present juncture the Ottawa authorities evidently indicated the time had come to inaugurate a Canadian Gov- ernor-General. and so Rt. Hon. Mr. Vincent Massey became the choice. This, however, was done without the House of Commons and Senate being consulted 01' even asked "by your leave". Surely that is 8. depart- ure from our system of democratic repre- sentative government that should not be al- lowed to pass without comment!' It is an indication that Canada is willy-nllly pass- ing into a dictatorship and that people have little share in their government ex- cept to pay the cost and provide previous- ly unheard of surpluses.

The tendency has been going on for years, the administration usurping the rights and privileges of parliament by per- sistent determination, changing almost im- perceptibly the practice of government, and without let or hindrance.

We now appoint our own ambassadors with the right to deal with foreign na- tions without reference to the Mother Coun- try. Our plenipotentiaries attending con- ventions ln Europe can pledge our -oun- try's support of plans and policies that have never even been discussed by parliament.

We are on the high road to becoming In absolutely independent nation with no intorlislg ratraint to our dictatorship. But

we cannot carry on in this way without hdvlng the means of defence from outside . attacks at our command, and this we, have ..,not:got. Were we to become involved in ” soy. Russia, what army or nsvy rub” differ our protection? They are b)f'ItiI&.ll0ll'0Xiltlnlf. so that we are . I99”.-9'.l free and independent

nation without being in a position to de- fend ourselves if attacked. Hitherto the British Navy has been our first line of de- fence, but that Navy. unfortunately is no longer able to assert its authority, and has given first place to the United States which "has got the ships, and got the men, and got the money too”, as the old song put it. Are we going to make a deal with Uncle Sam to become our protector, and if so, what return do we promise to give him'.' These are serious questions we must face almost immediately." The Prime Minister says we are grown-up, and must get rid of colonial ideas and idealism. Granted. But what does the Government suggest should be substituted? In losing our Imperial Governor-General we have dropped our pilot, as Germany did when she dropped Bismarck in favour of Emperor William I, and we all know what the outcome was. If we are to drop our British connection what is to take its place, and who is go- ing to pay the piper for the new align- ment? That is the burning question of the day.

Domestic demand for agri- cultural products will contlnue strong. Total cash farm income will likely exceed the 1951 figure. Receipts from livestock. dairy- ing and other income producers may not show much change. But receipts from the sale of grain will probably rise due. mainly, to the important part of the 1951 crop to be marketed this year. But on the debit side of the ledger farm operating costs will also increase during 1952 unless the experts nilss their guess. Assuming I! normal yield and marketing of grains, the outlook is for a slight reduction in net farm income. It could be better. But it could also be worse,

PUBLIC FORUM

This column is open to the discussion by wuespomients of questions of interest. The Guardian does not necessar- ily endorse the opinion of w. . cspoiidcnis.

GETTING OUT FROM UNDER

Eii-,-I have recently been gent- ly rebuked by a. dear old friendgo! mine in King's County for having (as he thought) participated in an interview with the P05lmRSl-CF General along with Mr. Kickliam. Hon. Dougald Macxinnon. Mr. Brenton St. John and others, re- gnrding the Kings County Mail Service.

Now, in case there should be oth- ers of the same opinion as my good friend, I wish to say that the fact of the matter is. I didn't take part- in the interview referred to. as I had another appointment at the same time and, as the others who iemiiirieci for the discussion can verify, I excused myself and went about my business.

The only interview that I took part in with the Postmaster Gen- eral was some weeks previously or iery shortly after the new system was started when Mr. Gaudel. was complaining about the way his paper was being treated. His "Cur- ienl; Comments" would not reach the people of Kings Counly while they were fresh; and, as nobody could judge how iilC new system would work until it. was tried out, there were no other complaints that I knew about.

At that meeting we all felt that i' Mr. Gaudel; could be satisfied. all would be well for the time be- ing at least. so it was unanimousl" decided that Mr. Kickhani should write Mr. Gauclct siiggcsting to him that he publish his early ed- ition of the Patriolpar-few hours earlier. in order to set. it away on the truck along with The Guarcl- iim, and I umlerstantl Mr. Kick- haiii. conveyed this proposition in Mr. Gaudcl, but it appears that the message fell on deaf ears and did not materialize.

Soon. however. the real defects of the new service began to show up. as liidicaled by complaints from Mr. George Snriilc, M. L.A. and Mr. Russel Clark. M. LA. and scores of others. nnd the bottom fell out of the new truck service. Indeed. before the delefzalloii of Provincial cabinet. ministers came to Ottawa (on other biisincssi the Department. hail decided to rcverl to the lraln scrvicc. Sn iinbodv need blame these genllcmcn for in- fluencing the Postmaster General because he know before they came lnal; the experiment had proved to be a failure.

I was not consulted by Ml'. Kick- luim or the Postmaster Gciieral be- fore the change was made from train to truck service, but after it happened I told the Postmaster General and others that it would he a miracle if ii mail service that had been built. up and continuallv improved over fifty years. could be changed for the better over night by 1!. new and radically dif- ferent service.

I went to work as a civil servant with the Post Office Department in the capacity of ii Rsilwziv mall clerk fifty years ago and, although I remalnedlln the service only seven years. I have watched with admiration the groin. improvements that have taken place over the years. until today almost everybody in King's County has 1 mail box at his or her door. and during the lust fifteen years I know a great riany people who will be glad to say that their mail boxes have been placed near their doors through my efforts. in the perfor- mance of my duty as s Member of Parliament. .

In conclusion. let us be frank about this mutter. snd admit that slthough the truck service was ap- psrently I good thing for s few people living in certain centres, it fell down on the job because it did not reach all the people at the proper time. as did the old reliable mall train with null clerics and mail courier service, and, incident- sliy. to make our nisll delivery in King's County still more perfect as should have s mall dark on tho Gooifotown train. providing

A FAIR FRONT

Sir.-The stores .in Charlotte- town put one fair front. The window dressing is very attrac- tive. Everything is displayed to zitlract attention and whet the de- sire to buy; but if one has oc- casion to go to the back of some of those stores the prospect is not so attractive. There is a lack of care as though the look doesnt matter. In Summerside it is the same. One day I had occasion to look behind one of my churches and was surprised to see that no

point had been npplled. The church. that summer, had put on is fair front.

This fair front look is all riitlit so long as we do not carry the idea into our moral life and con- duct: but unfortunately the hab- it of paying great attention to the front look is not unknown. There are individuals and groups of people who seem to care more about appearances than about what is hidden from the eyes of the world.

One does not need to so far to find examples. I have listened to .1 good many political campaign speeches, and I have read some more. One party is white or near- wliilc, the other. well! The result is that some of the best of our citizens have come to mistrust ull politicians, which, of course. is is great calamity to any country.

This fnlr front policy becomes it lrngedy when we come to deal with people who are devoid of truth and honour. such as the Communists seem to be. In Korea. it now becomes fairly evldeny that the motives of the Chinese cun-

nol be trusted. It seems they (loin, wnnt peace hul. only n chance to gain ntlviuitage. They

have completely abandoned moral principles. but they always try to put on ii fair front.

No form of evil so deeply cor- rupts life as hypocrisy. it blights the intellect, kills faith and pois- sons the whole life. No person is so dangerously bad as a hypocrite-

Tile Pharisees. as a class. put on a fair front; but Jesus saw through them. and because he exposed them they hated him. Did Jesus love them? He WCPC "V" them, but one cannot love a hypocrite. He is the most despic- nble wretch of human kind.

Durable society is built upon honest men, "the noblest work of God", men who live and deal with their fellow-men with no ulterior motives. in every walk of life. in politics. business. industry. the professions, they are found. They on: the salt. the preserving ele- ment in our civilization. largely the product of the religion of Jesus. This saving principle is hardly found where the Gospel of Jesus has not been scce ted. Jes- us loved little children and said. "For of such is the Kingdom of God". He loved them for their iiigenuous honesty. When He came upon Nathaniel he exclaim- ed. with deilsht. "Behold In II- rsellte, indeed. in whom than is no guilt.” If we can be honest with ourselves and with all oth- ers. that would indeed. pious God and build confidence and peace in the midst of the north.

"The annual meeting of the Charlottetown Woollen F a c t o r y Company was held on Tuesday last in Scotti: Hall. The attendance of shareholders was good. The di- rectors' report showed that there are 430 shares held in the Com- pany on which the calls paid ted to H918. Of this sum. f2589 have been cxperided, leav- ing a balance in hand of I329. The feeling of the meeting was strong- ly in favor of immedists effort to set the Factory in operation in good time for this year's wool. In order to provide the directors with necessary funds for this purpose, 75 new shares were subscribed on the spot. It was resolved that after 600 shares have been taken in the Company all new share- holders be required to pay 7 U2 per cent. in addition to the amount subscribed.

"On the ballot being taken. the old directors were declared elected as follows: Henry Longworth. James Laird. D. R. M. Hooper, David Laird, Alex McMillan, Char- les Gregor, G. R. Beer. After the general meeting. the directors met, when H. Longworth. Esq.. was re- appointed president, and D. Laird. secretary and treasurer."

Stand And Be Couiiled

(Ottawa Journal)

The spring session of Parliament can be one of the most interesting in history if full-scale debates on dropping "Dominion" and "Royal' from official terminology and the selection of 3 Canadian as gover- nor genernl are arranged and are g.ven the attention they deserve from membe . of the House and Senate.

It no longer is sufficient for the St. Laurent Government to an- nounce casuslly when a bill is be- fore the House that it is proposed to make "Dominion" into "Canadf wherever it appears in the text.

The Prime Minister and some of his Cabinet colleagues may say with all the vigor they possess that such changes are in scccrd with the wishes of Canadians: the faci- rcinalns that they still have to prove that statement.

It may well be that in the com- fort of their Ottawaloffices, snug in the knowledge of A large ma- jority in Parliament, Cabinet min- isters are completely out of touch with the wishes of the maturity of Canadians on these subjects.

What The Journal would like to see. when the debnte has taken place and the pros and cons have been heard. is the members of liarliamerit rise and cast their voles in a "free" division. It should be a division on a plain question or questions-"Resolved that the ncime lDomlnion' shall be dismiss- cd from Federal Government term- inology". for instance.

We would then know where the members from British Columbia and Quebec. from Alberta and Nova Scotla. from Ontario anal New Brunswick stood on the ques- tion and how they felt they beat. iepresentcd their own views and those of their constituents.

Unless such I frank snd open discussion takes place bewilder- ment and dispute will continue There is bewilderment first. about whst elements are bringing pres- sure on the government for chang- es snd why they want them. There is dispute because many Csnsdlsnii feel that "Dominion" snd "Rant" and governors wherever he wishes by the King they I present should continue so put of the Canadian scene.

The whittlln; process has gone for enough snd it is time for inunbsrs to rise and be counted. Ihowlns exactly when they mind rfid declaring themselves for or slllnst chsnul that sffsol. the constitutions! foundations of the nstiai.
