Unpleasant lluty By GERALD WARLNG crrrawa-when Finance Min- ister Abbott shifts over to (the Justice Department,as he appears likely to do before the year is out. he'll escape the many headaches oi iinance, but he'll acquire one new and unpleasant duty. That is deciding which con- demned murderers shall die. and which shall have their death sen- tences commuted to life impris- onment by exercise oi the Royal prerogative oi mercy. For a sensitive man-and de- spite his tax measures. Abbott is probably as sensitive as the next man-this usurpation of a iunc- tion oi God can result in great mental and spiritual strain The knowledge that whether a man lives or dies depends on the turn at one's hand is a burden not usually borne lightly. Even the judge who condemns the culprit to death has a mental escape in that he knows his sentence Is not. necessary iinal; that the Minister oi Justice is required to review it, and. it he thinks lit. reduce it. I 0 0 Actually. this is really the duty of the Solicitor General, rather than theuinioter of Justice. But as often as not there is no solic- itor General. and then the du v devolves on the Minister. That s how this comes to be part oi Justice Minister Garson's job at the present time. and will be Ab- bott's too unless a new Solicitor General is appointed. Prime Minister st. Laurent. when he was Justice Minister. performed this duty (or threeand one-hali years, until Joseph Jean was named Solicitor General in 1945. Rt. Hon. .1. L. Ilsley. who took over the justice portfolio a year later alter -the arduous task of being Wartime Finance Minis- ter had sappecl his strength near- ly to the breaking point. is re- ported to have' made the contin- uation oi the cities of Solicitor General a condition oi his ac- ceptance oi the Justice post. He wanted nothing to do with decid- ing who should live or die. Aiter Jean went to the Quebec Bench, battle-hardened Lt. Col. Hughes Lapointe I: came Solicitor General. But he' oved to the Veterans Aiiairs Ministry in year ago. and since then Garcon has had to perform the disagreeable function. i O I The criminal code makes the death sentence mandatory in all cases of murder. no matter what the circumstances may be. The judge is not 1)Cl'll1lli.ed to take in- to consideratimi the mental and emotional state ni a poor devil convicted of a crime oi passion. That is the job of the Solicitor General in deciding whether the death sentence should be com- muted. Thus. unlike in the United States, there is no such crime as second degree murder. Murder is murder. and the only punishment under the law is death by hang- ing.

In Saskatchewan two decades ago an innocent man was hanged im' murder. Had he been convicted oi second degree murder, he would merely” have gone to jail, and proof oi his lil- nocence wouldn't have come too late to save his life. But this question receives little attention in Parliament. Therc tlie'issue. on the rare occasions it is raised,is the old one oi”Should we abolish the death penalty?"
