Evidently there Are dele- gates who don't want it known whether they are for or against their leader at this time. That. of course, is their own business. and if they can bring the convention to their way of thinking. it should be of no great concern to the general public. But it is their prating about this being the “democratic" way of doing things that is objectionable. This is not a leadership contest, and the secret vote issue is un- likely to affect the result of Mr. Diefenhaker’s indorsation one way or the other. Those who don't in- dorse him will just be voting for no- body at all. Couldn't they do that by staying at home? The chances are that Diet‘ will spot them any- way. and reach his .own conclusion as to their motives for conceal- ment. An Explosive Issue The Crerlitis’res party in Quebec has issued its “ultimatum" for a new deal for that province. which would involve provincial control over the creation of credit. of imports and exports. and over immigration, and the return to the provinces of direct and indirect fiscal resources. The party leader. Mr. Paul f'.'-aouette. says: "If we don't get them. it's all over; we get out of Criiifi=dei'a- tion " This is a more extreme defin- ition of the "two nations" doctrine than that given by the Quebec gov- ernment under Premier Lesage. and somewhat less extreme than the view the separatist.s have propound- ed. In this sense it, could be called a middle-of-the road policy. though it would be hard for most Canadians in other provinces to accept it as such. Indeed. it is not easy for m ost C:-iiiadians to recognize the ("H-ditistes. a nd especially Mr. (”aoiiet.te. as having anything but a nuisance value in Canadian politics. But the issue he has touched off is a highly explosive one. The course of wisdom lies in disregarding its provocative terms. and realizing the broader implications of the _ challenge. Writing in a booklet. "The Decis- ive Years." which has just reach- ed our desk. ‘Dr. John T. Saywell. associate dean and professor of history at York University. Toronto. says that in this controversy there is fundamental agreement on only one point»-namely. that Confeder- ation has failed so far as Quebec is concerned. A minority has chosen to end the experinient and set up 8 separate French state. The ma- jority still believes that the experi- ment can be made to work. but it must begin with different founda- tions and look towards different goals. ' All of French Canada has re- jected the status quo in one way or another. has turned its back on the doctrine of peaceful co-exis- fence. and has demanded a radical constitutional and cultural recon- struction of the state and society. This. as Dr. Snywell sees it. is the supreme challenge to our generation of Canadians. Meeting it success- fully will require imagination. re- snurcefulness, intelligence. toler- ance. and courage. It. is unfortunately not enough to say to Mr. Canuette and his-kind ---and to those who may hold still more extreme vie-ws—-that a separ- ate Quebec would be the end of it as well as of Canada. Nationalism is not measured by logic or statistics. but by emotions. The history of in- dependence groups in other coun- tries since 1945 should teach us that. if nothing else.

More and more Can- adians are drifting away productive jobs. which earn our national livelihood and into bur- eaucratic jobs. which produce nothing material but add ex- travagantly to our taxes. While the ensuing proliferation of committees And minutes is an nxerall government problem. this rising tide paradoxically swamped the apex of our gov- - 31 ernmenta’. pyramid before it drowned the base. The first vic- tims were our Cabinet Ministers. If one spoke to any of the a pointees in the Diefenbaker ad- ministration. for example. and asked him «or herl for a consid- ered opinion of a minister's job. the inevitable reaction was a complaint about "those inter minahle‘ cabinet meetings". These had become so lengthy and so frequent. and involved so much extraneous reading. that nearly every minister found it impossible to keep.on trip of his departmental administration and paiiiamentary work in the re- maining time.

Fall after the summer re- cess. A number of committees of Cabinet were established. and relevant matters were delegat- s m a I‘. group of ministers. Thus the whole Cabinet no longer had to sit and listen to the discussion of points which were irrelevant to many; and the chairmanship of individual committees gave enhanced status and responsib- 'l,v to key ministers At the same time. the caucus ‘ of the Liberal Party was given A more important role. through consultation And discussion at the formative stage of policies.

A somewhat different Ap- proach was taken by A physi- cian in the Netherlands. Dr. B. K. S. Dijkstra. He checked the birth date of 330 persons who had died of proved lung cAncer. Few of this group were born in 1888. 1895. 1899. or 1902. but many Arrived in 1893. 1897, 1898. or 1900. The condition was more common in persons delivered in winter than in those born in summer. He found that people with March birthdays were twice As susceptible as those born in July or Aug Dr. Dijkstra has a complica- ted theory about this situation. centering on the growth of lungs shortly after birth. Carcinoma develops in the middle zone of the lungs more often than else- where. The growth of the lining cells of the bronchi in this area is most active at birth and more vulnerable to damage by seasonal influences. Another study brought the conclusion that vitamin A has A favorable influence on bronchial membranes The sup- ply is lowest during the cold months and Dr. Dijkstra postu- lates that the demand for th I a vitamin in the r apld develop- ment of the bronchial lining cannot be met by some child- ren who arrive in the later months of the winter.

Still No Pcinomo Compromise By Harold Morrison Canadian Press Staff Writer Deep suspicion and distrust are hampering inter-American peace committee efforts to re- store diplomatic relations be- tween Panama and the United States.

S. controls the wate-rwAy and Adjoining ter- ritory and in return provides Panama with an annual pay- ment of $l.900.000. The U.

The U.S. would like to see the Panama request framed in more general language. to pro- vide for discussion on all points of difference but not specify in particular that the treaty itself be renegotlated. With this Panama won't Agree. The view of the Pana- manian envoy is that the US. failed to keep a promise in the past. and that the only way to make sure of U.S. fulfilment in to get A firm agreement in writing.
