Anti-Democrats In Civil Service Cause Concern

UPTAWA, OnL, March l9 -— (Spocial) —A purge to elimgus n _ .P_asc'lets'~arrd"“h ‘ arm rs root‘ and branch from the Canadian civil service, subse- quent to Prime Minister King's es- pionage revolutions is being widely supported by members from all

parties in the Commons today.

First member to call on the Gov- ernment to ctlean house and dis- charge undeslrsblcs with Tore.gn sympathies was Social Credit load- er, Solon Low. M1‘. Low z-haruczi on the floor of the House that fifth columnists had infiltrated into many important branches of the public service.

Apprehension is also aroused in the Commons over the large num- bore of persons of foreign birth now holding key posts in lhc North-West Territories. Secretary of Stale Paul Martin who reports to Parliament for the civil service has been called on for a statement. and is expected to announce an of- ficial "screening-out" policy 1o- morrow.

Heads of federal departments and the civil service commission ad- mitted that owing to acute man- power shortage. Certain persons ater found to be undemocratic and anti-Canadian in outlook had entered the public service during the war years. They pledged a much more drastic scrutiny of the antecedents of prospective civil servants in the post-war period.

This will be to a large extent automatically assured by the prefer- ence given to overseas veterans of the war Just ended, for government jobs of all descriptions.
