“The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink.‘

‘~ rrncsnsv, APRIL 2, 194a On Parliament Hill

The reaction to Dr. Granfs outburst in the louse of Commons (in which he (lcclared among Otll(\" things that there was no unem- ploymcnl in Prince lidwurtl Island) is said to be highly unfavorable at Ottawa. He. is sev- erely criticized and condemned not only by Conservatives but by Liberals and C. C. R's as

-. Well, who have been cndcavoring to develop a Maritime bloc to get somewhere in Maritime interests. It is felt that Dr. Grant played ‘traitor to this policy merely for the purpose of

i revenge because Mr. McLure had succeeded in

; giining the ear and support of the House where he had failed.

Agriculturists, while pleased that Ottawa has lifted the ceiling on butter and pork, are concerned over the action of Senator Euler in introducing a measure to allow margarine to enter Canada in competition with butter. The Senator is a Liberal and it is felt his action is to offset any benefit the farmer may be able to get from the control amendment. What in- ducement, it may be asked, is there for farm- ers to produce more butter if it is to be offset

inc?

Both Conservative and C. C. F. opinion is condemnatory of the growing policy of the Government to utilize the Government radio snd film service for party purposes. Long ago, The Canadian Press foresaw the danger and went on record against any Government hand- outs being sanctioned for either radio or press so 'as~ to svoid the suspicion of Government party propaganda. Now it is likely the question will be raised in Parliament. Mr. Kings rc- joinder will no doubt be that of Hon. Mr. Hughes’ when questioned on our provincial pub- lic accounts-that it is the “work of the offi- cials," done without his knowledge or super- vision. There is‘, of course, an end to respons- ible government when alibis of this kind can be trotted out.

Cancer Control

"Cancer Month" throughout Canada and the United States began yesterday, April I. The 30-day campaign for funds with which to combat No. 2 on the list of killing diseases de- serves generous public support. It is organized under the aegis of the Canadian Cancer Soc- iety through various provincial bodies.

Statistics show cancer second only to all diseases of the heart as a cause of death. It is far in» advance of tuberculosis (14,135 as lgainst 6,168 in 1943), striking down one out of every eight Canadians-one in every six over the age of 4o. Cancer death rate has been on the increase between 1926 and r943, climbing from 80.7 to no.7 per 100,000 population.

Treatment clinics arc a major objective of the drive for funds; and this importance is em- phasized by the above figures in the light of the claim that st least 50% of those 110w dying from cancer could have been saved by early diagnosis and treatment.

Chinese Wisdom

In the current number of The China Monthly is published a thoughtful article which, its author admits, “is more like a Sunday scr- mon than an editorial," but which presents in arresting form a number of truths that are badly in need of emphasis in these days. What is called “the frustration of materialism" is discussed, the conclusion being arrived at that Ire "materialistic philosophy" has proved so litter failure as a way of life. The work of the lo-ealled leaders and thinkers during the last tﬂltury is reviewed. While they were in a posi- tion to form a sound public opinion, what did llieydo? "In the name of liberty, they repudi- religion and all its stabilizing force. In the of nature, they rejected moral law as mere tendon»- and custom. And in the name of

l‘ ‘flicy denied the existence 0f a personal "jlgin and measure of all things." sworn, turned from divine guidance _ l idcncs in secular leadership, the ' " were bound to be felt by 4 Neither could Oriental

low our minds and our souls to be rulc<l‘by materialistic stanﬁrdl, the consequences must be frustration and more frustration. We know that the observance of the moral law does not necessarily provide us with bread and butter. We know also that religion does not guarantee us a life insuranceor an old-age pension. But it is nevertheless truethat without moral law and religion there can be only more disagreements, disturbances, suffering, injustices and, ulti- mately, wars and death.”

U.K. Airfields to Grow Food-Crops

In view of the acute food situation. the United Kingdom Government are making every endeavour to ensure the maximum agricultural use of airfields that is compatible with the op- erational commitments of the Service Depart- ments. Already, of approximately 65o airfields in England and Wales, some I00 grass airfields have been or are being de-rcquisitioned. The return to agriculture of other airfields will de- pend on the results of the enquiry at present being made into the future peacetime require- ments of the Service Departments and civil avi- ation, but pending the results of this enquiry. I95 airfields have been placed at the disposal of the Ministry of Agriculture for agricultural use of one kind or another. Of these. r00 are available for unrestricted agricultural use and 60 for limited ploughing of all land falling out- side thc grass margins to concrete runways. mar- gins which must be retained in a firm condition for future flying use. The rest (35) are avail- able for grazing.

Apart from these airfields, as much surplus land as possible on other airfields in the coun- try which are still required for flying or oper- ational purposes has been made available for agricultural use.

Mr. Reese H. Taylor, President, Union Oil Company: "We use all the daily newspapers in the areas in which we market Union Oil pro- ducts or have Plant-cities. We have been very gratified at the mounting public response dur- ing the past three years. We feel that news- papers are in daily contact with the people. They seem to have an extraordinary ability not only to inform a community but also to organize its thinking and move it to action." F U i i

The average radio program is aimed at a vcry low mentality, Dr. Irvin Cooper, super- visor of music for the Montreal Protestant Cen- tral School Board, told members of the St. Laurent Home and School Association. Speak- ing on the teaching of music in schools, Dr. Cooper pointed out that the school music course aims to teach children to love listening to good music. In the past, school music was consid- cred an educational frill, but was now accept-

ed for matriculation.

A clash in Vancouver between the law courts and government wartime controls has ended in victory for the courts and the es- tablishment of a valuable precedent, says Ottawa Journal. The Vancouver Province summarizes the case: "The county court at Vancouver is- sued an order t0 the sheriff instructing him t0 evict a. certain tenant from a house and to give POSSBSSiOn t0 the landlord. The emergency shelter administrator interfered with the order, instructing the sheriff not to carry it out. The sheriff hesitated and was required to show cause why he did not carry out the court's in- struction. So the matter came to the supreme court "(of British Columbia) and Mr. Iustice Wilson has now given a judgment which may establish a precedent in Canada. He has ruled that an administrative officer cannot interfere

with a court order." Ill

Further evidence/of the development of anti-business sentiment in Canada, says the News Letter of the Canadian Chamber of Com- mercc, is offered in the latest poll by Can- adian Institute of Public Opinion. More than 66% of Canadians believe big business has more influence on legislation than labour, while 50% believe the position should be re- versed. It appears evident that this startling opinion is based not on.any knowledge of the facts but on prejulice which has been stimu- lated by interested groups. Anyone who has taken the time to consider the number of con- trols and restrictions under which business has been and now is operating, will come to the conclusion that if big business is responsible it is certainly not acting in its own best interests. On the other hand recent labour victories would indicate that government is very sensitive to Labour's reaction at tile plresint time.

Rental control in a free society, says Let- ter-Revicru, simply means that there will be a shortage of housing, as long as the rental con- trol- exists, relieved only by the construction of houses, by speculative builders, with the net re- sult that people will pay for living accommoda- tion what it costs to get living accommoda- tion built today, although they will obtain liv- ing accommodation by buying instead of renting. Thst is all that rental control means.- It will de- lay the relief of the shortage of housing. /It will

prevent new houses from being built for rental. It will not benefit the man who now has to get himself s house. He will have to pay‘ for that tho present highpriccs.

But In the document submitted s. wet ago to the Committee of Experts the Soviet Union dId ask for more. It proposed that the per- manent members of the Security Council should have the right. not only to veto action decided by I118 Council aft-er considering a dis- pute, but also to veto any appeal laced before the Council for Its consideration. The concewfon won by the Soviet Union at San Prun- clsm threabened to cripple the Security Council. The concession requested from the Committee of Experts one week ago threatened to av It prostrate.

The significance of this proposal. submitted on the eve of the Council's present session, Is bruit It registered. In an official manner, the Soviet Union's thinking In regard to the Council. It was almed to preserve for the Soviet Union, within the Council Itself, that reference for unilateral action wh ch has chur- bcterlzed Soviet policy as a whole. Even where the oo-opemtlon of partnership ls most, Indispensable. the right was asked to render It optional.

It was In the spirit of the Soviet proposal to the Committee of Ex- perts that the Soviet delegate, Mr. Gromyko. acted In the Security Council. Though, not actually pos- sessing the right to veto appeals, he acted In so obstructive u man- ner as to attempt to create a sit- uation up roxluiute. If not equal, to that w lch the use of the veto would have achieved. .

It was obvious. however, to other members of the Council that the right to veto appeals, which Russia had requested formally of the Committee of Experts and which Mr. Gromyko was requesting prac- tically of the Securltv Council. was actually the right to paralyze the United Nations Organization As Mr. James F‘. Bymes. the repre- sentative of the United Ststm. realistically commented: "If tbs Council does not hear Iran's case, the United Nations will die In Its Infancy of Its inefficiency and Its Inoffectlveness." i‘
