Incomplete Answer Speaking in Halifax on Satur- day, Labor .\Iinister Mach‘achen is tiiedited with saying that criticism of the federal government's selec- tion of 35 "slow growth" areas for special assistance across Canada is unjustified. Apparently he was re- ferring to criticism of the principle iiiyolved in the policy itself, rather than to its application, for he went as to say: “Many hold that. we should concentrate on accelerating growth in existing growth centres. However. such an approach would assume that we have given tip the areas removed from the growth a rca s . " Changes for the good in bigger growth centres. Mr. )IacEachen elaborated. “do not always favor- ably change the economic state in surrounding areas. This is why the government chooses to channel aid into smaller areas. If these prosper- ing centres are enjoying strong growth they will prmide some job opportunities for people round about. Such centres could not. how- ever. he expected to siphon off all those now underdeveloped and Lil]- cmploj'cd in the remainder of the province." We have no quarrel with this statement. except that it ignores the criticism which has been voic- ed most strongly in this part. of Canada with respect. to this tax in- centive program aimed at. boosting capital investment—namely. th at it, doesn't go far enough in giving relief In those areas “removed from the growth areas." A few of these areas have been designated ill an arbitrary way. leaving others. equal- ly. deserving of consideration, un- provided for. 1' As APEC President. John S. Wright told the Maritime Boards Trade conference here last week. the federal program should be ap- plied not to a few local communities, but to the entire Atlantic area. As it. stands. it provides for seven desig- nated areas in Nova Scotia and none at all in Prince Edward Island. It is the inadequacy of this set- up that we should like to have dis- cussed by Mr. MacEachen: or. bet- ter still. remedied without further loss of time. Taking Them Seriously Perhaps the most valuable by- product of the flag issue, suggests Bruce Hutchison in the Winnipeg Free Press. is the sudden. almost , comical realization that politicians. running for Parliament, are exceed- ingly important to all of us. Once elected they must be taken very seriously indeed, as we have not been taking them in recent years. The politicians. for their part. must take themselves and their duties very seriously too. instead of re- garding Parliament as a popularity contest. “In the current debate.” says this well-known commentator. “the electors and the elected have learn- ed that the ‘election gun. handed so casually at the polls, is loaded after all. So it must be if we are to hit. any target of policy. We have misa- ed nearly all our targets in the last seven years because we paid lip ser- vice to the parliamentary system on long as it did nothing controver- eial, elected inadequate Parliaments end as now MN a heavy price for our Indifference. curbede and complained of the results after- wards. Warned sharply that they cannot escape the results, maybe the people will see that the game of politics is played for keeps. and for the highest stakes. To be sure, the citizen has only one little card to play with. his single vote. but it is a precious card. for which countless good men have willingly died through the centuries. and de- serves far more consideration than a lazy electorate has been giving it.” This is well said. but it. leaves unanswered the question of why Prime Minister Pearson chose to make this particular issue the cruc- ial one—why he has made it of such paramount importance and urgency as to virtually Commit himself to a non-stop. marathon debate to gain approval of his favored design. Onlv a few weeks ago he out- lined to the Commons the legisla- tion to which he attached priority of passage before contemplating a summer recess. The so—called Can- ada pension plan was rated as the government's No. 1 priority measure at that time. Mr. Pearson turned aside questions about the possibility of flat.r legislation by pointing out that he had until next April to keep his commitment of bringing in a new national flag within two years of his taking office. Why this sudden reversal of policy? Mr. Hutchison doesn't say. While we agree with him that it is good to have a government capable ‘ of taking its election pledges serious- ly. and of making the public take the government seriously. it puzzles us why this particular pledge should become all-fired important so. suddenly. Assassination Probe A Washington commission head- ed by Chief Justice Warren has be- gun writing its report on the slay- ing of President John F. Kennedy, and its findings are said to have turned up no substantiation for—or actually to have rebutted or dis- credited—~the scores of rumors and reports which flew around the world six months ago. The commission has still to call more witnesses to round out its six-month inquiry. but basic- ally it has established the following facts: That Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin; that Jack Ruby. the night club operator who shot Oswald to death 48 hours later and now awaits execution in Dallas. had not known ()5 old and was not. in- volved in any plot to silence him; that no connection can be traced between Oswald‘s deed and any plot: developed in Russia, Cuba or Mexico; that the motive seemingly lay in the embittered, introverted mind of the cit-Marine sharp shooter. Oswald's wife said he had become “abnormal.” and the evid- ence disclosed that his mother had ignored a school physician’s recom- mendation that he be given psy- chiatric treatment. The testimony of some 400 wit. nesses. plus thousands of investiga- tion reports and at least 800 items of physical evidence, were said to substantiate overwhelmingly the original findings of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Many of the myriad of conflicting reports seemed baseless or fabricated from the start. but the commission check- ed out each one in the effort to erase any doubt that the public knows all that. can be known. It is expected also to deal with such questions as whether the secret service and Dallas police took all prescribed safety in e a s u r e s ; whether there was laxity. misbe- havior or inefficiency on the part of any federal agents: and whether more stringent safeguards should be established for the safety of preci- dents. Chief Justice Warren has said that no federal official or agency will be spared if censure is warranted. Barring a sensational reversal of information before the report is completed on June 30, however, it would seem that the basic facts of the assassination have now been established. There will be relief throughout the country at this an— nouncement—end in other countries as well.

It combines Important fea- tures of both the British and United States systcms. ’I‘licre‘ will be. as in America. a Presl- denl, with strong executive po wers; but at the same time. the Zambian Ministers will all be Members of Parliament. which means that in practice the gov- ernment will be responsible to the Legislature. as in Britain. If the President loses his ma- jority in Parliament he will have to seek reelection him. elf. s The constitution also contains provision for maintenance of an independent judiciary and for the protection of basic hu- man rights.

One of the moat heartening developments In the fight against water pollution is an announcement by United States manufacturers that detergents of the future will lose their foam after gurgling down the sink. Doublless Canadian manufac~ turers. most of them subsidiary to US. companies. will quickly low. Most detergents now available in North America do not deter- ioratc their suds in sewage treatment plants.

Germany years ago prohibited the sale of foaming detergents. They quickly were supplied with others. The State of Wisconsin will prohibit them In 1965. as will a number of se- parate communities in the US. The new detergent will 3;). parently continue to foam while in use. but because of its differ- ent molecular structure. will disappear down the drain. not to re-appear as ugly Islands of bubbles In rivers and ponds or even in tap water. The change should be a hap- py one. H The Stroying Book Toronto Star Down through the ages. ll- braries have tried all mannei of devices to protect their books from that mortal enemy the non-returning borrower. Me- dieval monasteries used to chain the volumes to the shel~ ves and. for further security, the monks pronounced anathe- mas on anyone who managed to unchain them. Phillip ll of Spain went further: be put up an inscription in his library in the Escorial warning browsers that whoever took out a book and failed to return it would in- cur a special excommunicatioa that could be lifted only by the P ope. The Toronto Public Libraries system has decided on an ear- thlier method. It has started ta- king borrowers to court. Re- cently it successfully brought action in the Divialon C ou rt against a local man who had kept two books since last Sep- tember. The judge order the re- turn of the volumes and assess- ed the defendant costs of around $20; the maximum fine It the books had been returned volun‘ tar-in would only have been $1.50. Legal action is reported planned In other cases. Whether this procedure will be more effective than anathe. maa and excommunicatlong re- main: lobe seen. It is likely. however. that many otherwi-o respectable citizens. never pre- viously In trouble with the law, are now waiting fearfully for that knock on the door. ' Announce New Healing Substance...

A renowned research institutehu found a unique healing substance with the ability to shrink hemor- rhoids painlessly. lt relieves itch- ing and discomfort in minutes In speeds up healing of the injured. inflamed tissues.
