DECEMBER 1. in; l 3 Correction, Mr. Davey! Is the oldfashioued “go-to-meet- lug" form of political rally out of date. and should it be abandoned altogether in favor of eiectioneering by television? This appears to be the opinion of the national organ- lzer of the Liberal party. Keith Davey. who has called the party signals in the last three elections and who recently made some out- spoken comments on this subject. In “the new politics." as Mr. Darcy sees it. most voters would rather sit out any election campaign at home. watching—say—Prime Min- ister Pearson on television. than go out to attend a party meeting and hear some lesser political light in person. But just as publicly. and on the same platform. one of Mr. Davey‘s bosses put. him right on this point. Liberal Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp couldn‘t have disagreed more if his party organizer were a ram- pant Tory. The Prime Minister. he said. hasn't got the local touch so essential to winning votes on the constituency level. Television. while a Conveniently easy. even lazy way of following a campaign and its sues. is too hit-and-run and doesn't carry the voter impact. as he called it. That needs a living. breathing. smiling. in-the-fiesh appearance at a public rally. Even if the rally isn't well at- tended. Mr. Sharp reminded his hearers. there is the newspaper Coverage. which is basic and funda- mental in every campaign. Reports in the news columns of the papers. large and small. are read by thou- sands; read at their leisure. when those thousands are prepared to read them. and not jammed into their unwilling ears by television, when they'd rather hear Don Messer or watch The Defenders. This was the drift of Mr. Sharp‘s rejoinder, speaking from the practical experi- ence of a working politician. The politician candidate who can‘t. be bothered holding a public rally. believes Mr. Sharp. is the candidate who doesn't get through to the voter. and no matter how often he televises his shadow image, is the potentially losing candidate. Newspapermen knew this all along. but of course they’d be count- ed as prejudiced parties in an argu- ment of this kind. It‘s more con- vincing coming from a cabinet min- ister who knows the score. For our own part. we wish he had put in a good word for the old- time joint political meetings as That was where the candi- dates got their baptism of fire and lhowed whether they could handle _lhemselves on the floor of the House or not. There would be fewer dull speeches in Parliament and in our legislatures today if that good old custom“ were revived. ‘ New Reform Program 1' This is as good a time as any. while he is under fire in connection with another matter. to note the efforts Justice Minister Favreau has making to reform Canada's dutmoded penal system. On Monday (f hat week he outlined a program I thch is much to his credit. . ‘. The new reform program is to implemented in two phases, the savoring the years to 1967. second the span 1967 to 1973. to include the provision—in ~ provinces, in Quebec, ‘4 in Western Canada " of varying occur- ‘: jwith the training geared to l ' ! Wormtive" needs of ‘ = in e particular in- As has been so many times recommended. reception facilities are to be provided for the proper diagnosis. classification and assign- ment of prisoners. There are also to be hospital facilities. psychiatric services and “pro-release hostels” designed to help the prisoner make a successful adjustment from crime to useful citizenship in the com- munity. The purpose and philosophy of the new program are apparently to be a rejection of the negative punitive detention idea and a con- version to the belief. now held in most modern countries.’ that com- plete rehabilitation is possible for 70 to 80 per cent of all convicted criminals. ’ This is a bold departure from the traditional inertia of Canadian governments where penal reform is concerned. and it is to be hoped that nothing will prevent its being car- ried out on schedule. In this con- nection the Winnipeg Free Press cites a statement from one of the speeches of Sir Winston Churchill in the British House of Commons which we had not seen before, and which puts the case for such reform movements in the right perspective. “The mood and temper of the public with regard to the treatment of crime and criminals,” said Churchill. “is one of the most un- failing tests of the civilization of any country. A calm. dispassionate recognition of the rights of the accused . a constant heart- searching by all charged with the duty of punishment; a desire and an eagerness to rehabilitate in the world of industry those who have paid their due in the hard coinage of punishment: tireless efforts to- ward the discovery of curative pro- cesses; unfailing faith that there is a treasure. if you can only find it, in the heart of every man . . . These are the symbols which. in the treatment of crime and the criminal. mark and measure the stored up strength of a nation and are the sign and proof of the living virtue in it.” “That Causeway" Under the above heading the Montreal Star notes that Pu biic Works Minister Deschateiets was “careful not to get himself trapped by Transport Minister Pickersgill’s suggestion that the causeway to Prince Edward Island might be under construction next year.” The minister assured the House that Mr. Pickersgill “is a great prophet. Let us hope he is right." Beyond that he would only confirm that the long-awaited feasibility r e p o rt showed the work could be done. “if anxious MPs from the At- lantic Provinces were confused by the lack of solidarity in the ap- proach to the issue,” adds the Mont- real paper. “they are not in a uni- que position by any means. The record of the ministry in speaking at cross-purposes is painful. When Mr. Sharp speaks about trade he doesn’t always appear to be talking about the same thing as Mr. Gordon. And between Mr. Martin and Mr. Laing natural resources get a sharp- ly different treatment." It concludes that since the de- cision on the causeway presumably will be Mr. Deschatelets' to make. “Maritimers shouldn't find too much optimism in Mr. Pickersgili‘s op- timism as matters'stand." The trouble is that we. really don‘t know how matters stand. and we're beginning to think that this is the state of mind the Govern- ment wants to keep us in. Which is bad' psychology. In politics, as in other matters. “h ope deferred maketh the heart sick," and that. isn't conducive to electoral enthus- iasm for any party. Being now ranked among the major prophets, perhaps Mr. Pickersgill will be able to convince his cabinet colleague of the truth of this biblical maxim. EDITORIAL NOTES Now we're into the flag de- bate again. All further speeches on the subject. argues the Hamilton Spectator. should be made atop a flagpole. That would end them in short order. 0 3 0 Farm safety. particularly the safety of children on the farm. is getting much greater attention all across Canada. This is as it should be. It has been estimated that at least one child dies each month through hitching rides or driving a tractor on a public road. The child may be smart. as one exchange lays. but his parents are not. PREFERS HIS OWN BRAND UN PROBLEM No one has out It better than Adlai Stevenson: “If the mem. bers won‘t pay for a UN. there won‘t be a UN ” One way or another. the mem- bers who are in arrears an d whose refusal to pay is steadily paralysing the UN's peace-keep- ing function. must be made to pay. Canada‘s stand. express- ed by Mr. Martin to the Inter- national Law Association in Tor- onto on October 14. is that Artic- le 19 of the Charter should be ap- plied literally. This states sim- ply that any member owing the equivalent of two years' assess- ment “shall have no vote in the General Assembly.‘ The United States Govern- ment. which has paid over 40 per cent of all the costs of i. h c N since its inception. took its stand firmly on this Charter pro- Vlsion in a memorandum circu- lated to all members a month ago. The Soviets warned. in reply. that any such attempt to force them to pay “would destroy the UN". This is the phrase which the leaders of the Soviet UNA used in conversations with me chev went further. in his talk with U Than‘t in Moscow. 8 n d threatened that the Soviet Union would withdraw from the UN. SOVIETS WON’T LEAVE The Soviets are not saying this in public. however. and Mr Martin. for one. has made clear that he does not believe there is any possibility that the Soviels would leave the UN at this time. sacrificing their carefully nurs- ed detente with the U.S.. n leaving the UN field wide open to their rivals. the Chin e sc Communists.

According to an ment recently made public in New York City the answer. to a high degree of probability. is 'yes'. Ten years ago. 301 boys were selected from among first year school students. They were chos- en from two schools in an area known for its high Juvenile de- linquency rate. They were grad- ed according to scores on three ‘ factors—supervision of the boy by the mother. discipline by the mother. and family cohesion. A because manv of the boys did not have fathers.

Political Robots Favored Hamilton Spectator Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp is right In saying that old-fash- joined political speech making is not useless and outmoded. While no longer popular with the electorate as a whole. a public meeting will always be valuab- le in that it provides the con- scientious voter with the only opportunity he has to meet the candidates face to face and to ask them questions. Some pretty eminent politic- ians are out-and-out opponents of public meetings and speech- es. Keith Davey, national or- ganizer of the Liberal Party. is one. He claims that many vol- 5 ould prefer watching leading political figure on tele- vision to going to a hall and its- tening to lesser politicians talk. Mr. Davey is probably right Many people aren't interested in politics and you couldn't get them to walk across the street to see a politician who doesn‘t look like Brigitte Bandol. What they suffer from is inertia. The fact that some of them sit home and watch a political "n a m o speak on TV doesn't they‘re doing so as a matter of choice. They are members of what has been called “the cap- tive audience." The meat and potatoes of pol- itical life are still to be found in the rented halls. the committee rooms. the street-corner confet- ences. and the smoke - filled rooms. The rest is glitter and gold. produced. with plentiful ic- ing on top. for popular consump- tion. TV politics is no more the real thing than TV horse operas are vintage cowboy. t Mr. Davey and other a leading members of the younger ‘ political set would do is grad. usily outlaw. by common cou- senl. the public political speech. This would enable the publicity agency and the leaching elocu- tionlst. the ghost writer. and the interpreter of the p u hi i c pulse. to manufacture a politic- al candidate out of a cloth c s _ horse. For if the public appear- ance were no longer necessary. why bother seeking a candidate who can think on his feet. field m questions from an audience. or sell himself on the strength of his own ability? We would be in danger or sending a robot to the Com- mons if the only way we had of judging a man's worth was to watch him perform, like a seal, on a TV screen.
