AUGUST _8. 19:22 It's Still Fiddle-Faddle As part of a general attack on Canadian newspapers by the Social Credit party, Real Caouette, deputy , national leader, speaking in Edmon- ton on Monday, had this to say: "To judge from the newspapers, the most ignorant person in Alberta at one time was William Aherhart." The funny thing about this re- minder from Mr. Caouette is that William (“Bible Bill”) Aberhart, as founder of the Social Credit move-. ment in Canada, probably actually was “the most ignorant man in Al- berta,” among public figures, so far as such subjects as economics and democracy are concerned. ‘ Alberta was saved from the full impact of his ignorance (or lunacy) only because measures he sought to enforce were disallowed or ruled un- constitutional by the Supreme Court of Canada. If “Bible Bill" had been allowed his way, however, there would have been in Alberta. forced repudiation of the public debt, can- cellation of land mortgages, issu- ance of provincial paper money, gov- ernment control of the press, and provincial inflation of a kind that could very well have destroyed Can- ads It was the truth about William Aberhart—about Che crackpot na- ture of his program—about the half- baked fiddle-faddle peddled by the late Major C. H. Douglas, as “in- ventor" of Social Credit-—is was these truths that saved Alberta for the sanity asd solvency it has sub- Iequently enjoyed." _ These truths were told by the newspapers of that time. They were not liked by “Bible Bill”. It is a happy feature of the record of the newspapers of Canada that they played a large part in helping truth to prevail at this dangerous junc- ture in history. And it is not surprising that Mr. Caouette has much the same feeling about newspapers as did "Bible Bill,” for he is peddling the same old fiddle-faddle. It can't stand up to truth and sanity any more than it ,did in “Bible Bill’s" day (or hey- day). Talking Things Out Lord Taylor, the Briton who be- came the key figure in settling the Saskatchewan stalemate over the medical insurance plan, has had some things to say about the dis- pute, now that he has returned home, that deserve to be remember- ed. The chief obstacle to settlement, he said, was the “complete failure 6! both sides to understand the .dther’s point of view. No one could put the doctors’ point of view to the politicians in language they could understand, and the politicians Qouldn’t put their case before the ‘doctors in acceptable language." ; As Lord Taylor could haveadded, _l refusal to continue discussions leveloped a_ftcr the breakdown in Iommunications became complete. A" L point was reached at which both I lideu seemed to be fighting over heir fight, rather than over any Q! the issues that had given rise to ' he fight. , . The fight for a time became a pus-insane thing. instead’ of a acct of controversy. with A " hopes ofrgetting itself to- Imaaj side of the other. The lesson in all of this is that there is scarcely any problem w".h- in a democracy that cannot be solv- ed, or at least carried to a point of acceptable compromise, so long as lilies of communication can be kept open. This is the point that needs to be kept in the forefront of mem- ory long after details of the storm that raged in Saskatchewan last month have been forgotten. _ It was AD. Lindsay, in The Modern Democratic State, who de- clared: “Thekey to democracy is the potency of discussion. A "good discussion can draw out wisdom which is attainable in no other way.” That's about the same verdict as Lord Taylor has handed down in the Saskatchewan case. It was ~“ly a short journey to settlement when both sides returned to “talking things out" in language and terms both sides kept comprehensible. The Price Oi Fraud Those tax payers in Canada and the United States who have receiv- ed short-term jail sentences for da- frauding their governments of in- come taxes, have at least this con- solation: they were proved guilty of the charge before being convicted and sentenced. One Ivan Kostrov of Moscow has no such consolation. The Soviet court which sentenced him to five years imprisonment did not prove he had defrauded the government. It sen’- tenced him because he could not, or would not, explain where and how he got the money to buy himself a. private home. It sounds like a drastic proced- ure, but it could be that our own De- partment of National Revenue might take an equally dim view of some Canadian counterpart. "Comrade” Kostrov, the Moscow authorities proved, had total earn- ings in the last ten years of the equivalent of 15,777 Canadian dol- lars. His new home, the authorities also proved, had cost hi $27,777, andhis car, house furnis ings, and expensive living, an additional $71,- 333 \ » Obviously. “Comrade” Kostrov must have other sources of income besides his salary, and there is no stock exchange in Moscow where a smart Russian could play the mar- ket and make the income credited to him. Probably, there is not so much difference between Soviet and Can- adian courts as is generally sup- posed. In any event, a Canadian Ivan Kostrov would likely find himself convicted. And whether or not he got five years would depend largely on the judge trying the case Magnificent Victory, Quite properly, it was a home- town affair as Summerside last night gave a. jubilant welcome home to Alfred Groom, following his Tor- onto triumph that will send him to Perth, Australia, as a representa- - tive of Canada at the British Em- pire Games. But the whole province joins in ucclaiming the achievement of this great Island athlete. While “surprise" is the word that has been used oftenest in des- cribing his victory, gained by set- ting a. new Canadian native pole- vaulting record, “magnificent” is another descriptive word that springs almost as insistently to mind.

The balance of t h e assessments. And the sums thus due to the United Nations is o w reach the alarming total of near- ly $200 million. The regular annual budget of the UN is now running at about $74 million. In addition, th e r e are the costs of the special U.N. , peace-keeping missions. in Congo ( about $120 million in the current year) and on the Gaza Strip between Egypt sand Israel (about $20 million this year). The unpaid dues are largely accountable for by the refusal of certain countries to contribute to the cost of the international police force. Russia, France Belgium, Soulxh Africa and Port- ugal are all opposed to the Con- go action. and accordingly re- fuse to pay their share of th a cost. The Arab nations likewise, b refuse to contrlbulefowards the 1 Middle East Emergency Force. FAIR COST BURDEN The expenses of the United Na- tions are apportioned between members on a ' ' scale, ac- cording to their population and their national wealth, with the intention that each country shall pay in proportion to its ability. Thus contributions are aal from 32.02 per cent of the budget payable in U.S.A. 14.97 per cent payable to Russia lesser propor- tions by Britain. France a n China. and Canada rated sixth to pay 3.12 per cent. At the oth- er end of the iuternatioanl scale 31 small nations are each asses- sed the minimum of 0.04 per cent of the budget, so their share of the regular U.N. ex- penses ia a mere 329x600 each per year. With arrears now piled up by ‘fconsclentious oh and by countries which have not explained their non- payment, the U.N. H in serious straits. For immediate purposes. the U.N. is in-Ming to sell bonds up to $200 million, of which Canada has pledged the purchase of her. proportionate share. But for a permanent solution, U.N. appealled to the Interna- tional Court of Justice. This has given its advisory opinion that assessments for these special peace-keeping actions have the same standing as assessments Spar: U; This National leaders are sometim- a forced into advocating causes which we are aui-emual be em- if not down - right to them personally.

PULLING THE TEETH Thus in the view of some dip- lomatlc observers here, the U.N. is now at a point. where it and its members must fish or c ut bait. . It appears reasonable to ex- pect that the Assembly w l l l comply with the advisory ruling of the International Court.

It la agreed generally th at cancer originates from cells in the body that have been chang- ed by mime chemical. hormonal. or viral incident. The change takes place in the chromosomes. Once this happens (mutation) the normal cells do not p to- duce the same type of cells but divide into cells that vary con- siderably from the parent struc- tures. The newcomera are dif- ferent and are regarded as can- cerous when they multiply at an abnormal rate and spread in a lawless fashion. Chronic injury or irritation. with repeated repair of the damaged tissues, is a more like- ly cause of malignant cell muta- tion than is a single injury.

Because they are petroleum da- rlvailves. they are relatively in- deslructlble and are more resis- tant to the breaking-down pro- cess than plain soap suds. The plugging of streams and lake: is not the only problem caused by detergents. the Wel- land Tribune reports. A curious and exasperaiing experience has been the lot of a family living in a ground floor apartment on East 231st Street in New York City. Almost every day for several years, this family has had cope with detergent suds gush- ing inlo their bathtub and lh a bathroom and kitchen sinks. The pile of fluffy suds comes from one of the upper floors, where a tenant lets them run out of a bathtub. The suds go into th e l drainage pipes and a struggle between air pressures finally forces the suds back up the sys- tem from the basement level. At times the suds billow into the ground floor apartment with such force they drift into ih a living room. A similar phenome- na has occured in a number of first floor apartments in N e w York. particularly in older struc- tures. The New York City Hous- ing Authority is trying to meet the cha-llenge by installing lar- ger draln pipes and more a i r vents in plumbing systems.
