In Ontario and Quebec the ‘case was different and there were no restrictions in that regard.

border that are absent north of lt. Canadian courts are free of contam- ination; Canadian police forces are comparatively free from corrupting influences. Yet the basic strata of populations in the two countries re- main closely alike. The boundary is a man-made affair, largely inef- fective in intercepting the influenc- es of the radio, the magazine, and the mental reaction to countless personal contacts. It is inevitable that Canada should be affected by something of the crime wave that threatens to submerge her neigh- bors. It is not reassuring to note that Detroit, “where you can't throw a stone without hitting a Canadian," has the highest rate of all the Nor- thern ‘cities. The murder wave is no more likely to stop short at the bor- der than the divorce wave, which has already sloughed over.

Certainly it is time to stop, look and listen. What are the causes of these modern insurrcctlons? Dr. Hoffman ascribes high murder rates to ease in obtaining arms. Undoubt- edly that is an aid to the criminal. But it is not the cause of the crime.

These causes are fundamental: Lack of regard for authority. divine or human; the throwing overboard of so many or so much of those Guide Books that had taught earlier
