Weighed In The Balance

From all quarter_s—even from its own party followers-the King Government is getting criticism for its failure to grapple successfully witluthe unemployment problem. The other day in the House of Commons there was read into Hansard a summary of the findings of thc recommendations of the National Employment Commission set up by Mr. King shortly after his election to power, and the manner in which these recommendations have been dealt with. Oppoite several of the Commission's most im- 'portant suggestions appeared the notation “No Action" or “Partially met." Few recommenda- tions were approved in their entirety, some were rejected altogether.

“The thing that impresses me most," said one member in reviewing the Commission report, “after having paid $300,000 t0 secure advice from Minister of Labour could get in this country, we find that the term which occurs most often in the third column is "N0 Action”, or “Partially met." I want to suggest that if we are going to bury this Com- mission, we might inscribe on its tombstone the words: ‘No action,’ partly as a memorial of its short life, and, second, as a monument to the masterly inaction that has come as a result of its work."

Perhaps the unkindest cut was the quotation. by Mr. Woodsworth, the C.C.F. leader, of a statement made by Prime Minister King on the night of the general elections, October i4, i935. What a commentary on the government's “mas- terly inaction" was this eloquent peroration! These were Mr. King's words:

“In the new era which dawns today, the strug- gle for the rights of the people will, in the realm of economic liberty and security, be carried on as never before. Poverty and adversity, \vant and misery, are the enemies which Liberalism will seek to banish from our land. They have lain in wait at the gate of every Canadian home during the past five years, and their menacing mien has served to destroy the souls. as well as the minds and bodies, of an ever increasing num- ber of men and women and children in our land. We take up at once, as our supreme task. the endeavour to end poverty in the midst 0f plenty, starvation and unnecessary suffering in a land of abundance, discontent and distress in a country more blessed by Providence than any

‘ __ _,other on the face of thc globe, and to gain for

individual lives, and for the nation as a whole, that ‘health and peace and sweet content’ which is the rightful heritage of all."

This was a stinuniiig up, in eloquent terms. of all the pre-clcction promises made by lVlr. King and his supportcrs- Nearly three years have passed; time enough. surely, to ask, as Parliament is now asking. what the Government has done, and how much longer it purposes to mark time before tackling in earnest this “su- preme task" for which it was elected.

Short-Sighted Economy

Recently it was pointed out that in this Pro- v-ince the cost of maintaining Government House, except for the comparatively insignificant item of repairs, is borne not by our taxpayers but by the Lieutenant Governor himself. In some other provinces maintenance costs have run to several thousand dollars annually, and on May Ist On- tario becaiiie one with New Brunswick and Al- berta in closing their Government House as an economy measure

Commenting on the Ontario Government's action in this case, the Fredericton Gleaner says: “New Brunswickers-the more elderly ones - can recall the arguments for economy which ac- companied the decision to close the stately resi- dence in \Voodstock Road. Fredericton, which had sheltered many distinguished visitors. It is about fifty ycars since a quarrel between a pro-

vincial Premier and a Lieutenant Governor ended in decision to close Government House Hardly had the change been accomplished before ' the people to whom it had been presented as a fine piece of economy observed that it was they who were suffering. The upkeep of the of- ficial residence and the employment of a staff had entailed the expenditure of certain sums which were distributed quite largely in the farm- ing community. With the closing of Govern- ment House such distribution ceased. The argu- ment was that this amount was to be saved to the Province. But alas the saving was never apparent. Even with the burden of Govern- ment Hoiise removed. debt mounted. and it has continued to mount ever since- Anyone can safely take ii bet that the people of Ontario

,____ never will see the saving produced by this action ' M’ on-the part of the Hepburn Government. It also can be foretold that Ontario will experience

being in awkward situations, inst as New Bruns- wick, through lack of \an official residence for . entertainment of distinguished visitors."

_ The British Civil Service was one of the topics

discussed in Washington recently by Professor of the London School of Econ- omics. who besides the role he plays in the Bri-

has served for years as one for those who find their way _ Mr. Laski ek- _ ‘ d: ci servants in caught 7 r absolutely divested of politics, mdtthan would life in a sawmill”.

he has security as long as he docs his job, with a pension after it. '

Half a dozen of Mr. Laski’s colleagues are members of Parliament, with combined terms running over 35 years, and never in all that time ha: one of them received a lelter from a constitu- ent asking for a job-

The service is a four-branch hierarchy, says Mr. Laski, divided roughly on the education standards of the entrants:

The lowest-“writing assistant" — group earn perhaps $20 each a week, and are recruited from those leaving school at fifteen or sixteen with the equivalent of a part high school training,

The next is the “clerical" group who have the equivalent of full high school training, and left school at sixteen or eighteen. These two classes together comprise the vast bulk of the service. with 450,000 members. Of the entire British service, 80% get less than $20 a week and 70% get less than $25.

The third group is the “executive" class. There are only 4,000 in it; while on top of all is the “administrative", of whom there are only 1,000» Members of the “executive" class have continued school t0 eighteen or twenty years. But it is the administrative group which is the pride and glory of the British civil service. They are picked by written examinations and inter- views, and are drawn from the keenest intellects of the best schools and universities.

There is great social prestige attacked to these higher posts, and the career service is the reg- ular destination of many of the most ambitious young Englishman. The pay by transatlantic standards is commensurate with the importance of the post. Mr. Laski estimates that there arc about I00 posts that pay between $5.000 to $10,- 000; eighty paying from $10,000 to $15,000; and twenty-one at $15000-

To the ability. intelligence and indefatigable energy of this group of competitively chosen men, Mr. Laski ascribes many of England's greatest social reforms. Their departmental knowledge is greater than that of many Cabinet Ministers who come to power politically, and they guide and mold their course.

"Overruling" i

His Excellency the Governor-General of Canada, Lord Tweedsmuir, draws attention to the form of prayer used in the Church of Scot- land before the opening of Parliament. Writ- ing in the Rotarian Magazine, he quotes the prayer as running something like this: “Bless, O Lord, the two Houses of Parliament now as- sembling and overrule their deliberations for the people's good." Commenting on this, he 0b- serves: “Overrule, mark you, not guide or direct, the assumption being that they are almost certain- to do wrong.” His Excellency thinks the words should be taken as a parable, a guide of life. “\Ve dare not overvalue authority, since we know it is our creation, but we dare not undervalue it. because we realize its supreme practical need- So we obey it and we pray for it.” ’

The welcome rainfall on the Prairies is bring- ing joy not only t0 the wheat growers but t0 business men generally in Toronto and Mon- treal, who foresee money pouring west to east instead of east to wcst as for the last two or three years. a v m v-

Evidently Mr. Bennett got Mr. King on the raw when he offered to submit evidence to prove that Mr. Rogers was spending money like water in his own constituency of Kingston. Mr. Ian Mackenzie has been doing the same in Van- couver. Alas, Mr. Dunning is not doing like- wise in Queens.

May I arpress a long, doe note of discontent? The first not cs the Premier of this Province received that a Commission had been ap- pointed to investigate the relations of the Provinces with the central Government came at the breakfast table, from a morning newspaper.

I was preplexed. Perhaps, I should have surmised something of the sort was around the corner from something the Prime Mints- ter had said a year ago ln the House of Commons. My attention ls frequently called to the Right Honourable gentleman's speeches, but somehow I mlssed that one. and, upon enquiry, I learned that the Premier of another Province had also missed it.

But surely the Provinces are not be penalized for lnattentlon to the Hansard of the House of Oom- inorm; surely the objective of this Commission bears so directly on the affairs of Provincial Govern-i merits that all the Provinces should, have been consulted aboutthe ap- ' oolntinent of this Commission; and I suspect several ~ the Provinces

this Commission had emerged from the contemplative stage to reailty. the Premier of Munllnba appeared before the Commission wlt thick volumes expressing views and pro-

posals, “arrived at" (he said) "after long and careful inquiry." And I said to myself: "How long

has this thing been going on?” Manitoba Budget Speech The answer came from an un- expected uarter. The Budget speech of t e recent session of the Legislature of Manitoba let the

cat out of the bag; lri fact, sev- eral cats. The members of Manl- toba‘s Legislature were bold (and I thought, with a boast) that. active work ln preparation of Manitoba's case beore the Com- mission had commenced almost three months before the terms of the reference to this ‘Commission had been made public. The Min- ister went on to say:

“On June 3, 1937, I attended l. conference at Regina at which the Governments of the three Pralrle Provinces were represented. At this conference we soii ht to find a. basis upon which pro lems com- mon to the three Provinces could be most efficiently and economic- ally analyzed f0. resentatlon to the Rowell Comm ion." . . .

Not the least significant m of the Regina conference was the employment of two professors of American universities. and one them "an adviser to the United States 'I‘reasury"—to assist 1n pre- paring u case against the Cana- dian Treasury.
