U S 3I2.0l DC Illa: FRIDAY. JUNE 22. I950 Television Hearings The Royal Commission on Tele- ings in Clinrlottetown today and the proceedings are likely to be both interesting and informative. In Halifax, where the Commission sat earlier in the week, strong ems phasis was placed on the need for t more educational mziwns On radio .'...and.television. but .'-iiti'()ss Canada .,.3IlVErse views hi:-IVP been presented and there have been stroiig present- 'at.ions by privately owned stations. It is interesting to rccall that J ' just twenty-seven years 3:0 this week, on June 21, l. ., the Domin- ion Radiop Commission. wliosc re- commendations resulted ill thc cs- tablishment of the C.B.LK livid its hearings in Charlottetown. Headed by Sir John Aird, President. of the Canadian Bank of Conirncrcc. the Commission was appointed to deter- mine "how radio'br0t-ldcasting could he most effectively carried on in this country in the interests of the public." That objective is still of major iniportancc. and its applica- tion lo television is just as obvious as it is to radio broadcasting. ' Al the Aird Commission hear- ings three uiggcstioiis were made upon which radio owners were ask- ed to pass opinion. These were: (3) the establishment of one or more groups of stations operated by priv- ate enterprise in receipt of a sub- Iidy from the government; (bl tlic establishment of and operation of stations by a government owned and financed company; (cl the es- tablishment and operation of stat- ions by provincial governments. Be- fore carrying on investigations in Canada. the Commission visited Great Britain. France. Germany. Holland. Belgium. Switzerland, Irr- land and the United States. The re- oommendations reached were based on a first-hand study of national systems in Othcr countries and on the need. expressed very strongly across the Dominion. for more broadcasting from Canadian sour- fnr highnr program standards and for a national system as a means of drawing the provinces ore closely together. Mr. Fowler and his fellow mem- her": of the Television Commission ham? :1 big job on thcir hands. and they are solicitiiii; views and infor- mation from all sources in their en- deavor to arrive at findings which will be fair to all concerned. and most of all to our national iiitcrcsts and the right of all sections of the 1 country. regardless of geographical I location. to enjoy tho highest stand- ard of programs.

If that means anything, It -means that the Federal Govern- ment is "prepared to render financial assistaiiqi to the region, once the region's representatives can agree on what should be done to reinvig- orate the general economy. The Federal Government should not be kept waiting too long, es- pecially in view of the general elec- tion ii year or so from now. For some reason, Federal good inten- tions vis-a-vis Maritime needs have a habit of slacklm: off a bit as soon as an election has passed by. Hardly Fair 'l'licrv has been some difference of opinion in the Commons over the Lapointe who holds the dual post of Minister for Veteraiis' Affairs and Postmas- ter-General. illlic controversy arose when lloward Green. Progressive for a Van- rcfcrred to Mt. La- status of the Hon. Mr. Conservative member eouver riding. pointe as ”a half time Minister so far as veterans are concerned". Whether or not Mr. Green meant to imply that VPIPHIIIS affairs are neglected. there was nothing in the statement itself to warrant any such interpretation. it was a simple statement of fact. Obviously, no man. however. capable he may be, can be in two places at once. He need not necessarily ”love the one and despise the otlier"; but certain- ly he has to divide his time between them. That is precisely what Mr. La- poinie does; and that makes him ii part time Minister. There is really nothing out of the way about call. inf! him so. Finance Minister llarris. hou- ever. took strong exception to Mr. Greenls statement and reminded the House that ”Mr. Lapoint's heart and soul are given to protecting the needs of veterans". Ilow can that be? If Mr. Lapointe is made in the common pattern of mortals- and that surely is a safe assumption -he has only one heart and only onc soul. If he gives them exclusive- ly lo the needs of vcteraiis. he has nothing left for post office affairs. But it is certain that the Finance Minister did not mean that at all. Somcliow. in the exchange of opin- ions; he allowed his rhetoric to out- run his thinking. What he evidently meant was that Mr. Lapointe is quite capable of carrying out both of his responsibilities well a n (I faithfully. In that he is probably correct. NPVeri.hElP.SS. anyone who wanted to be unduly critical could easily sec in the dual responsibility that fell to Mr. Lapointe's lot. a gov- ernmental implication that neither of the posts is important enough to demand full time attention, And that. if it were the case, would hardly be fair.
