: Among Christian nations them- ‘selves there is surely a promising sign. ‘in the continuing trend toward. ‘ecumenicity. This may not mean an ‘elimination of all difficulties and the ‘removal of all denominational bar- ‘riers, but at least it marks a forward istep of great significance. If it leads 'to increased denominational co-oper- -ation and respect, much will have “been accomplished; and there is reyery reason to believe not only in ithe sincerity of those who are work- ‘ing to this end but that their efforts. ‘will be crowned with success.

| More: Housing Funds - In his last budgetary presentation, - “Financé Minister Sharp was all for: tholding the inflationary line, even to the extent of curbing activities under’ the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The result was that dur- ing the past few months, housing loans have been harder to come by and people who can ill afford to bear the brunt of such policies have been discotiraged from providing homes for themselves and families. Now, however, the government has seen the light. It has awakened to its res- ponsibilities and has announced mas- sive changes in its program, designed to bolster the housing market on a big scale. The new legislation, of which formal notice was given in Parliament on Thursday, provides for the commitment of close to $2,000 Million in new federal funds for this

+ Roy Jenkins, who is the responsible minister, that such a course would lead: only to more violence. The issue now is closed, Mr. Jenkins said on “his return from a two-weeks visit to Chicago and. other American cities.

British policemen carry guns only when dealing. with violent criminals ‘who are reported’ to be armed; and that, Mr. Jenkins believes, is the way

the public and most resppnsible-

police officers want it:to be. The pub-

was a natural reaction, but it was not -a. sound. basis on which to change a system which has worked very well | over the years. irae In other respects, however, Mr. Jenkins thinks that Britain-and-the~ United States have something to learn from each other’s methods. He intends. to discuss with police authorities in. Britain the sys- tem he had. seen in Chicago, when ‘he toured that city in a police car for an hour and a half. He praised the Chicago communications system which linked the public with the crews. of 1,800 radio-controlled cars through a police switchboard opera- tor. Chicagoans who called for as- sistance could be reassured by hear- ing the police car being guided to them. But while public and’ police communications in Chicago were ex- cellent, the minister felt that 117 separate police forces in Britain had a setup for communicating with each other which was also worthy of study.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Ottawa Journal recalls this old definition of inflation, which séems to be apropos enough today: “Instead of having more money than you ever had, inflation means you've got twice as much, but it’s worth only y half of what you would -have if you had what you haven't’ #ot.” ;

~ New Law From Parkinson

, That modern: lawgiver, Cyril Northcote -Parkinson,-.has .codi-. fied an immutable new. law. .of modern bureaucracy. Already having handed down such un- challenged axioms as ‘‘Work ex- pands so as to fill the time avail- able” and ‘Expenditure always rises to meet income,” this rest-

: “Delay is the deadliest form of denial.’ ; Announcing the law in the Loadon Times, Mr. Parkinson says the Abominable No Man has been replaced’ im more ad- vanced bureaucratic. . civiliza- tions by the ‘‘Prohibitive Pro- crastina' h an idea, the Probibitive Procras- tination (or PP )believes, when delay is infinitely. more. subtle and stamps the administrator @ wise man. as ss wpe PP listens and’ forms .a- committee.

,and_ habitual aspects of the sch- eme.”. Worse ye a ba and protected by the proliferating wisdom, the %committee sends its report to a commission of inquiry which will convene in about six years. The commission will then set up machinery for deciding whether there is any point in proceeding further.

In the meantime the Prohibi- tive Procrastinator has gone on- ward, and probably upward, in the bureaucratic order w i thout

_| having had to endure the messy

business of saying no. ~*~ “That fact finding is thus a

substitute for decision {s very.

generally known,” Mr. Parkin-

son observes, “What we fail to |”

recognize is that fact- finding is. also a substitute for thought.’ After Mr. Parkinson's expose, a few Prohibitive Procrastina- tors may be smoked out. But we the breed. Parkinson’s laws \ seem

cynical, technical, political, hy-

like eternal verities.
