And in the ciiscliarg» of this mission .\Ir. Bracken has won ivcr_vone's praise for his clcariiess of vision, the integrity of his ideals, and his unquestioned sin- cerity of purpose. The broad liiics on which a Progressive (fon- lcrvative Lioveriiiiieiit will administer Canada's affairs wcre very definitely indicated in .\lr. Brnckcnis llaiiiilton speech. The goals of states- nianship he outlined were rational rcform ratlicr than blind experiment, decentralization rather than increased centralization of government, the co-operatioii of constituted authority with in- dividual freedom of enterprise for increased production and employment, and ivitleniiig areas pf domestic and forcign trade \Vho ls Responsible ‘I Commenting on an editorial on CBC llllfWlll- tracy in the Saint John Telegraph-Journal, .‘.Ir. A. P. Patterson, Saint _lOlln, has the following sage comment to make: "This is not a matter of party politics but is something which you aptly defined when you said: ‘in-my of them (bureaucrats) cultivate an illusion of omnipotence and mistake authority for ability.‘ However, the responsibility for such bureaucratic government in this nation rests with the parliament of Canada for giving a tiiircaiicratic corporation control of radio broad- casting, and with the legislatures of thc pro- vinces for allowing the parliament of Canada te do so. “When the original provinces organized thc original Dominion of Canada t0 ‘conduct: to the welfare of thc provinces thcy agreed to entrust the li)0l".1lllit)lt'< parliament with certain l'i\v- making powers for particular objects and they certainly did not agree to allow the parliament of Canada to delegate its law-tiiaking powers to wrporatioiis nor to its executive government. "Canada's constitution is clear and definite that law-making powers in connection with the subjects the provinces entrusted to the Doiiiin- ioii. are confined t0 the parliament of Canada. “The most harmful results to this nation from such unconstitutional delegation of authority are in connection with tlic delegation of author- ii_v to the so-callcd ‘Canadian National Railways‘ l'_v ivliicl. thc Dominion has evaded its obliga- tions lri the provinces iii connection with the op- rratiiiii of rtiilivais especially the government- uiinrtl litter tfnlnnizil.

A learn- cd committee consisting of Messrs. F. C. Mor- gan, Curator of the Hereford Museum; George Marshall, Fellow of the Society of Antiquarics, and Mai. J. G. Clift of thc Historical Alann- iaieiits Commission, has examined “Saint Aug- ustine's chair," recently returned to l-Icrcford- shire from Canterbury, and pronounced it to be a product of the eighteenth rather than thc first century‘. The chair is reputed to be the one in which the first Archbishop of Canterbury sat when he received the Welsh bishops. lloivcver, the aboac-iianietl experts now declare it was made up of old material by a iiian tinskilled in the use of carpenter's tools. They believe this could not have happened earlier than the inid- eighteenth century. Sir Reginald Johnson, whose father presented thc chair to Canterbury, declared he was convinced of the chair‘: ab- solute authenticity. m i U CBC has been finding it cxcecdiiigbv difficult to defiiic a political speech and to stick to any- thing (I611 approaching a. satisfactory defin- ition, as the case of Mr. Bracken shows. To circumvent the trouble it has liecn found ex- redieiit on the part of officialdom to restrict so-called political speeches to the leaders of re- cognized political parties or groups and then to permit these only during election campaigns and on special occasions when leaders may desire to give an account of their stewardship. llut whatever definition of a political speech is hit upon it must be recalled that the Prime Miii- istcr included in his broadcast of last Saturday night one important political feature when he told thc farmers legislation would be ititrodiicctl iicxt session to establish a floor under post-war farm prices. To that extent it was a political spCCCh, and. for that matter liow can a party leader avoid saying anything in a broadcast that iiiziy not be interpreted as an adroit political ap- peal? During ivzir time it is inevitable that the govcrtimcnt. because of thc varied demands of the war effort, should fccl impelled to talk di- feetly l0 lllc ficnplc. but uiidcr almost any kiiiil of definition of political- address those l'llih‘ might be open to criticism. .\iid the same would, in reality, apply to peacetime.

Mr. Bracken, who had evidently been at, great pains to clarlfy I113 meaning beyond anv doubt. struck n note which met tli a responsive echo throughout the Domlnlon in hLs opening remarks. when he and u clamoroiu political movement. had grown up tn the countr, which was ready and more than wt mt; tn take all power lnto its hands and ln a spiral; of vengeful lmpn-tlence to destroy beyond hope at repair the 300d as well as tlie bud to which soclety had fallen heir.

Mr. Bracken quite properly ad- mits the necessity for fair-reaching reforms lf Canada 1s to see a stead- lly rising natlonai income in which all may have their jusr. share. but lie believes that the powers of gov- ernment, consciously and positively cxercLsed. can atlileve any reason- able on-zl we desire.
