lK-rhaps the following lincs, published in a littslhit exchange and received by The Guard- ian from a former Prince Edward Islander, no lOngtT applics to farm life. at least in this llrovitwr. int they are worth quoting in g0"- ncctioti with the Ontario speaker's criticism, and worth preserving as a reminder 0f a con- dition of affairs which was not uncommon in rural communities at one time, and which catised many unnecessary hcartlircaks:

"Why dtd you leave the farnr. my lad? Why did you bolt and leave your dad? Why did you ‘beat it’ off to town

And tum your poor old father down?"

“I left my dad. his farm. his plow, Because my calf became his cow;

I left my dad to sow and reap Bt-cause my lamb became hls sheep; I dropped the hoe and stuck the m: BECRHSE my bis became his pork.

Senator Crerar’: Warning‘

there is a tendency on the part of those may be elected to public office t0 think llllllleillaldl’ "D011 election they are endowed with some peculiar virtue which qualifies them to guide the people, That is a false and wrong conception of our form of government. . W5 have no right in this House or the other by insidious ntcatis to frittcr away the free- doms and liberties of thc pcoplc."

If it is necessary for the Government to exercise some control in monetary matters. it still has the temporary power to do so, “and it should not have any tiowcr hcvoutl that," Senator Crerar maintained. "This propuz-tctl legislation, comhinctl with the hill which we discussed last wcck sctting up the Catiadizm Commercial Corporation, would in the event 0f their being a gnvcruntcnt sympathetic to the development of the authoritarian idca put it within the power of such a Government and t its civil servants at Ottawa, to completely shackle the commerce of this country and to interfere absolutely with the fundamental rights of the individual citizens. Once thcsc things g0 it is almost intpossihlc, without rcvolu- tion itself, to have them restored."

Tll€5¢ words of warning, from one of the] stalwarts of Liberalism in Canada, should have some effect on Parliament Hill.

11°F“, Senator T. A. Crerar, came a solemn warning in Parliament the other day against the increasing danger of bureaucracy in this country. Senator Crerar was speaking on um Foreign Exchange Control Bill, which he un. equivocably denounced, and he took occasion to gay s. few words on other matters as well. For peacetime legislation," he said, “this is one of the 1110s: €xtraordittary bills that has ever come before the House. In principle it DIOPOSES t0 confer ttpUu a board of civil serv- ants absolute power over the import and ex. port of trade of the country and over the movement of funds across our borders, a 130w. er l-lfllimilctl its t0 time, and unrestricted as m the scope and sweep of operation.

I say that 5W1! 8 Proposal as a peacetime titcasttre is an unnecessary and unwarranted interference with the basic rights of Canadian citizens." Senator Crcrar said he first became a mctnhct" of Parliament thirty yrears ago, “and the functions of the Government of that day as contrastctl with those of the administration to. day rcprcsctit a complete transformation. The Govcrntitcnt of Canada today is in the wheat busincss, up past its cars. It is in the housing business to a most extensive degree. ,. . . It is in the transportation business, by laud, st-a and air. 1t is operating a transcon- fittcntal air scrvicc, ships on the sea and the tiational railways. The Government is in the broadcasting business on a very large scale. . It is in the motion picture business, and is pro- tlucing films. lt is also ih the httsittcss of op- crztting brown companies SllCll as Polymer ifflrpuratiott. It is in the business of dispens- ing lll‘l)llL‘ ,lllf<)l'lll?lll(7l], for they ltavc a Pub- lic llllllflllilllhn Hoard, the vote for which is passcrl by Parliament. The point I am mak- ing is that all thcse activities have completelv or at any rate vcry largely changed the func- dogs o_f government in this country." Thcsc things, Senator Crcrar argued, had been "tuorc or less pushed up0n_the Govern- ments of this country, who often have not had sufficient hack-bone to stand up against certain proposals and frankly discuss their implica- tions \Vlll'ltlll(f Canadian people." The inevit- able result is that the Government, busy with Parliamentary chores and domestic and inter- national problems of all kinds, has to depend more’ and more upon its civil service advisers. The advisers in the present instance will be (the members’ of the Foreign Exchange Control Board provided for in the bill. "Imagine a Government weary with the multitudinous problems that ifhas to deal with, and- some onc coming along and saying, ‘We think it is nec- esieary in the public interest of Canada that ulch and such a step should be taken.’ There ll. nothing new about that; it has often- hap- figncd before, all over the world; but inevit- ehiy, even when intentions are the best, it is precursor to the steady rise of authoritar- tm ,fn the State and the whittling sway of freedoms enddiberties we have enjoyed In plot Add which, if‘ we think rightly upon ,‘ srelfteuichesrtrcssures and heritage ' I mime got!’ . .
