Many Quebec Emilies evidently were fearful of pinging children into the down- areas as a result.

Elsewhere—and in Quebec as .11 on Sunday—the reception to rar Majesty was cordial. At Ot- ..wa it turned into a heartfelt dem- Estration of praise and respect for 7. . . 2e manner in which she had con- ;tcted herself under trying circum- T‘ances.

A‘ Canada’s Parliament and the G’nited States Senate are akin in gieir toleration of this kind of nerbosity, a fact which drew a «'ertinent comment recently from ‘ne-Minneepolis Star. Many Can- "dianeseem convinced. it said, that this protects Parliament from too filtrong a government; but in prac- .~5"ce,"‘as in this country," it may _ the legislative function. "The Star pointed out that in fithin', ' "the Mother of Parlia- ta” functions differently.

Closure has a bad name in Can- ada. chiefly because of the manner in which it was employed in the pipe line debate which preceded the downfall of the St. Laurent govern- ment in 1957. But in that case it represented an arbitrary decision of the government, which the oppos- ition had protested from the start. Mr. Stanley Knowles, who led his party in fighting closure on that oc- casion, is a strong advocate of clos- ure by agreement. “If this could be done a number of times during the session,” he said recently, “I believe it would improve our performance. and it would leave the House free to devote ample time to measures calling for detailed attention." Two perfectly good reasons for giving it a try. a The British Crisis I it is confusing to read of the ! British “economic crisis” which threatens to defeat the Conservative government under Sir Alec Doug- las-Home in Thursday’s general elections There are‘more people at work in Britain than ever before. The total in 'August was 90,000 higher than in July and 190,000 higher than in August last year. Incomes. too. are higher than ever before. It. may be said that there is therefore no economic crisis. It seems, however, that there is a financial crisis, a balance of pay- ments crisis, and-an. iiifla.“o“'\i'y ' crisis. At a time when world con- ditions‘f'avor the sale of exports, Britain is lagging. _Her annual rate of deficit is growing to such an extent that the whole currency reserves of the Bank of England could vanish within two years. True, there has been no “run on the pound,” and the country has borrowed easily all that has been needed so far to maintain a finan- cial balance. But it is clear that action beyond mere borrowing will have to be taken if disaster is to be averted. This. according to the European economic correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, is the the electorate. it may involve, as well, a crisis of understanding, of character, of moral fibre ahead for the British people. This is the line taken bv Labor leader Harold Wil- son who maintains that restrictive practices. and failure to develop science and technology, is leading to a mass sellout to foreign concerns. The human counterpart of this may be found in the series of one- 'now takes longer to turn a ship ~ around in London docks than it does in any others in Western Europe.

London (lockers meanwhile are demanding a 13 per cent raise for timeworkers and a 5 per cent raise for piece-workers. The dockers. it is said, may have a very good case. But so has the nation.
