Gerald Waring Reporting

OTTAWA-In the late 1920's, when Parliament was swamped with divorce petitions from On- tario and Quebec, Just as it is from Quebec today, I mild little man with a. striking white beard de- cided to do something about it.

He was James Shaver Woods- worth, the Independent Labor Party MP. for Winnipeg North Centre; the man who, in few years later, in 1932. was to found the C.C.F. Party.

For three consecutive years Woodsworth introduced legislation in the Commons which would give the courts of Ontario juris- diction over divorce, and free Pat'- liament from the onerous and thankless task of severing Ontar- ians' marital bonds.

For two years his bill was de- feated. Then Woodsworth hit upon an ingenious way to force Parliament to pass it. The prac- tice was then, as it still is, to pass scores. even hundreds, of divorce bills through the Common with- out doing more than calling them by name. However, the rules of Parliament provide that each bill must, at the request of any M. P., be dealt with individually.

What Woodsworth did was insist that each divorce bill be given separate and detailed study. This so hamstrung Parliament's pro- gress that in desperation the Gov- ernment of Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King finally bowed before the indomitable will of the little man with the white board. and passed his bill. .

What happened a quarter cent- ury ago is happening in the Com- mons again, with Stanley Knowles (C.C.il'.. Winnipeg North Centre) conducting exactly the same sort of filibuster against divorce bills that Woodeworth did. I

His method is the same; his goal-to rid Parliament! of its di- vorce chores-is the same, saving one essential difference. The lanky C.C.F. member does not wish to force the responsibility for divorce onto the Province of Quebec, as his late chief forced it onto On- tario. Knowles respecl-! Qllebef-"S deep-rooted religious opposition to divorce.

"We can't ask Quebec to estab- lish divorce courts, or even accept Federal divorce courts operating in Quebec." he explains.

I-Ila solution, and the one he propounded in vain with bills he introduced in 1940 and 1950, is that, Parliament should empower the Exchequer court, which sits in Ottawa. to handle divorce cases from Quebec and Newfoundland, the only Provinces which have no divorce courts of their own. That prescription for Parliament's di- vorce problem, he maintains. will not make it any easier for QM- beckera and Newfoundlandera to obtain idivorces.

"Under the B.N.A. Act, Canad- ians in those Provinces have the right to aeekgclivorce at the Fed- eral levsl.'”Knowlsa.explains. "And Parliament has the right to deter- mine whether it should discharge its divorce responsibility itself. or

The case of H. B. Willis, Inc., charged with having unlawfully 50101 llotltoeo produced in the province without being in possess- ion of 3 license issued by the P. E. I. Potato Marketing Board came up before Magistrate Gilbert A. Gaudet Saturday morning and was adjourned until June 9. The Charge arose in conection with the payment of the P. E. 1.

Last: winter when the potatoe dealers took issue with the Board over my. mom of the levy, it was reported that Mr. Willis would refuse pay- ment and act as a test case to de- cide whether or not the Board Act was legal.

Knowles hopes his obatructlonisl: tactics in Commons will -persuade his fellow members, and partieu. larly the Government, to support the bill he will introduce soon to turn divorce over to the Exchequer Court.

Meanwhile more than 300 resi- dents of Quebec, who had expected their divorces to breeze through Parliament, are faced with the Dmspect of not getting their cli- vorces nt all this year. One Jrrne wedding in Montreal already has been postponed indefinitely be- cause of Knowles' filibuster-the groom may not be divorced in time i '
