Ilirusnsr. ocr. is. 1951 The Queen in Residence There is some speculation afoot to the effect that Queen Elizabeth might consider taking up temporary residence in her Realm of Canada for I few weeks at I time and It- tcnd to her constitutional duties at (lttaiia in the same way as she customarily performs them at Lon- don. So far. the idea has not re- ceived a ny official conformation from either the Queen herself or t'anadian Government authorities. Coiiseqiiently. about all that can be said at this time is that the sug- gestion has merit, so long as it is iem:ni.I.ed that the l.'nitcd Kingdom is still the principal member of the Comninnuealth and L o n d o n its 'heart. This is true even though in a legal sense all members are equal in political status. Another fact to he kept in mind is that at least ttwo other Commun- ivealth members, Australia and New Zealariil, are as deeply devoted to the Crown as is Canada. (lhviiiusly, therefore, the Queen could not re- side in Canada for any length of time without giving those other na- tions equal recognition of the royal favour. And that would present many difficulties, perhaps not in- sumiountahle ones but tickiish ones just the same. As for I residence in (Jltaua, should the lillgl!p5u”n ht-' carried foruard, it would seem that the Governor General's residence could look after the requirements very iiell. Perhaps the Governor General could take an extended lioli- day during the period of the Queen's 1-ggidenco.--provided, of course, he wanted to do so-since, presumably, there would be little, if anything, for him to do. whether the suggestion. On proper consideration, be found prac- ticable or not, it seems certain that from now on the Sovereinn Will ht coming to Canada much more fre- quently than in thi P3” it "my 5' that the rormiil niwntns of each now Parliament---not each SPS8l0n- will become standard practice. A Profound Truth "While the United Nations Or- ganization has its limitations, if it did not exist we would want. one.” That is one of the more reasonable arguments for the continuance of the UN. it has been one's lot to mow mile for many it day. And it was not expressed by I leadins 5l8'53' man.

('ome to think of it. the state- ivmnt expresses a profound tiuth re- -in-(till! other institutions besides the UN. Take Parliament, for in- stance. it is not difficult to find iwiple who feel that the trappings of Parliament could be dispensed uith without doing much harm. It is. of course, an expensive institu- tion: and much of the time of its members is taken up in meaningless debate. it has been estimated that at least half of the words spoken in any given legislature have no bearing whatsoever on any aspect of public policy, which, in any event, is usually determined by a small group known as the Cabinet. Yet, lnthefewinstsnccs (hit.hsdemo- cratic world) when Parliament has been mspended for I time (for ex. to say that millions of peopln world over would immediately Ibout extolling its achievements. the teenager said, it than were U.N. vie would want one.- ' Not A Failure p It is becoming clear that oppodp tion strategy in the current session of Parliament cuts for I belittling of the recent Commonwealth fin- ancial tIlkI It Mont Tremblsnt. The Prime Minister is ready for it. how- ever: and although he would be the first to admit that the expansion of trade within the Commonwealth will present many problems, he certainly has nothing to apologize for in what he has been able to achieve so far. The very fact that I full scale con- ference has been arranged for some time next year or the year after h proof that Commonwealth leaders agree with his proposals, at least in principle. Sir llavid Eccles, President of the British Board of Trade and I member of the British delegation to Mont Tirmblant. is by no means pessimistic about the prospects. Speaking to a service club in Lon- don, he observed that ”the British Commonwealth got its second wind at Mont Tremblant, and we shall see a form of mutual help and ex- panded trade which will be of the greatest benefit." That surely doesn't fall in with the opposition's claim that the conference was pretty much of a failure. U -Great Journalist Passes Canada lost its dean of journal- ism iii the death yesterday of Mr. E. Norman Smith, president and chief editor of the Ottawa Joumal. For almost seventy years I practis- ing newspapei-man, Mr. Smith at eighty-six was active until his last illness. keeping d constant eye upon his beloved editorial page which has maintained I standard unexcelled by any newspaper on the continent. During the many years in which Mr. Smith guided the policies of his paper, it has stood for freedom of speech without license, courteous and fair treatment to all, integrity in public affairs and vision and initiative” in dealing with Canada's problems at home and abroad. Not infrequently it has led public opinion and sparked movements of far- reaching consequence in political Ind social reform. In lain years Mr. Smith had the Ihle support of his son, Mr. Ian Smith, as associate editor, whose articles have frequent- ly been quoted in these columns and who is among the Iblest comments- tors in Canada. The great co-operative organi- zation known Is The Canadian Press was established chiefly through Mr. Norman Smith's efforts, and remains as I monument to his seat and fore- sight. So too does The Joumal, which has suffered it grievous loss in his passing. but which will, we have no doubt, continue to reflect his consistently high ideals. EDITORIAL NOTES It is reported that twice in one Parliamentary sitting the Prime Minister ahsentmindedly referred to Mr. St. Laurent. as "the Right Hon- ourable the Prime Minister." He had better not keep it up oi-.Mr. St. Laurent will begin to believe that there was no change after all. s I I A Japanese educator now visit- ing the United States is quoted Is saying that her students in Tokyo "have great difficulty in reading the translated works of the American novelist William Faulkner," although he is a favorite among them.
