Coup In Argentina The long threatened army coup has been attempted in Argentina, and President Frondizi is reported to have left his office, still re- fusing, however, to resign. The military move has brought to a head a simmering dispute between the president and the armed service chiefs which began over disagreement on how to deal with the substantial victories in the March 18 elections of support- ers of the outlawed Juan Domingo Peron, now in exile in Madrid. Naturally, as those who risked their lives to oust the dictator, the army chiefs are not anxious to gee him come back. Their own heads as well as their professional jobs are at stake. Though it was recog- nized that Frondizi had a good economic program for the country, he had not the personality to “»ut it over” popularly. For the past four years (presidential terms there are for six years) he performed amaz- ing political acrobatics to keep the peace and the freedom deemed es- sential for his planning, which in- cluded a large measure of foreign investment co-operation. On at least two dozen occasions the military authorities were on the point of turning him out, but he survived each previous test. With his disappearance from the scene—if indeed he does dis- appear—it is argued that pressure can be exerted to achieve a demo- cratic union of the great liberal party which dominated Argentine governing politics between the two world wars, and which Frondizi divided when he could not resist the temptation of bidding for Peronist votes. It was with those votes that he came into power, and they seem now to have proved his undoing. The question arises, however: where will the army chiefs go from here? Though Frondizi may have owed his national majority to manipulation just as the Peronists ’ (with Communist aid); owed their - provincial majority in the March 18 eontest, he represented constitu- tional legality. The army chiefs do not, however they may try to dis- quise their actions. i Gentlemen, Please! Mively debate is the life of demo- eratic parliaments, and surely no one would wish to see it curtailed fn the proceedings in our local - Legislature. However, there is a golden mean to be followed, and gtandards of courtesy and decorum te be observed, which in no wise interfere with the widest freedom of _ fegitimate speech. We trust that _ our legislators will bear with us for geminding them of this fact; for on more than one occasion since the present session opened, statements have been hurled across the floor, by Jeading members on both sides, which were creditable neither to | them nor to the people they repre- _ gent. Perhaps this has been due to the bad example set at the present heated session at Ot- tawa. There, for example, a single ‘@ay’s Hansard recently recorded, ‘from the government side, such gtatements as these: “That’s a lie.” _ (Works Minister Walker to Mr. Paul Martin). “What did you do in _ the last war?” eee gov- a - ; 3 ; : ‘ é i 4 + F< Martin). Similar quotes eould be given from the Opposition side, ecually offensive and inexcusable. Our local legislators haven’t gone quite this far, but they are headi-g in the same direction; and, as the old saying goes, one thing leac- to another. Doubtless the Speaker and committee chairmen should be more vigilant in maintaining order; but basically the members are on their own good behavior in the House, and should not require to be discip- lined like unruly schoolboys. Let them recollect that the spec- ial freedom of speech they enjoy in the House is in fact the privilege of their constituents. It is seced to them ndt for personal] benefit, or for indulgence in vituperation, but to enable them the better to discharge their functions of office. By «*"'s- ing this privilege they are lowering their dignity as a body, and adding nothing whatever to the force of the arguments they have to advance. We conclude our homily with an excerpt from Beauchesne, that great parliamentary authority, who quotes with approval the following Stand- ing Order of the British House of Lords in this connection: “To pre- vent misunderstanding, and for avoiding of offensive speeches, when matters are debating, either in the House, or at committees, it is for honor’s sake thought fit, and so ordered, that all personal, sharp, or taxing speeches be forborne; and whoever answereth another man’s speech shall apply his answer to the matter without wrong to the per- son; and as nothing offensive is to be spoken, so nothing is to be ill taken, if the party that speaks it shall presently make a fair exposit- ion, or clear denial, of the words that might bear any ill construction; and if any offence be given in that kind, as the House itself will be very sensible thereof, so it shall sharply censure the offender, and give the party offended a fit repar- ation, and full satisfaction.” Unions And Politics Officials of the New Democratic Party will not be pleased with a re- cent ruling of the British Columbia Court of Appeal upholding the legality of that province’s Trades Union Act forbidding the use of union dues to support apolitical party. The Appeal Court ruling, which was unanimous, upholds a judgment handed down by Mr. Justice Whittaker in the Supreme Court of British Columbia on Aug- ust 25, 1961. The Appeal Court’s decision was based on essentially the same reasoning that supported the pre-_ vious judgment; namely, that while unions have rights which must be maintained in law, union members as individuals have prior rights. The original judgment stated that the right of a union “is not one of those human rights or fundamental freedoms which pertain to an in- dividual and are recognized and declared by the Canadian Bill of Rights,” ete. Mr. Justice Tysoe of the Appeal Court, in his written judgm-“t, said: “The purpose (of the legis- lation) undoubtedly is to safeguard the fundamental right of the in- dividual member of a union to give his support to the political party and the candidate for. political of- | fice of his choice.” He held that the legislation is regulatory in charac- ter and is a proper method of con- trol of the use of membership dues. The actual case involves a rela- tively small local of 160 members of the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Work- ers International Union (CLC) and Imperial Oil Limited. But, as a test case of the legislation in question, it could have repercussions that could affect labor legislation all across the country. Indications are that the appeal will now go to the Supreme Court of Canada. The decision at that level will be of still greater interest and significance. EDITORIAL NOTES A candidate of the New Demo- cratic Party in Toronto wants the press to spell out the name and not the initials, because these “have taken on an unfortunate, unpleas- ant, even sinister connocation—de- pending on how they are used.” But, as the Ottawa Citizen points out, “if the party really has a solid basis, its initials are unlikely to prove its undoing; if it has not, then it doesn’t really much matter what it is called” NO MAN‘S LAND OTTAWA REPORT by Patrick Nicholson The Dawson City Gold Rush Festival Erik Nielsen, the active young ' Conservative M.P. for the on, has been energetically pub- licising here the Dawson City Gold Rush Festival, which is to be staged on the site of the Klon- dike stampede from 1 July to 17 August this year Visitors from all parts of Can- ada and USA are expected to | make the Gold Nugget Tour.
