Should Be Answered

Party caucuses are strictly pri- vate affairs. But sometimes rumors leak out. and this is what has hap— pened in connection with a pro- election c a u c u s of Conservative HR! at Ottawa. at which they re- portedly received from Prime Min» later Diefenhaker the promise that, i! re-elected. he would increase the Indemnity paid them.

Usually it is wise to ignore such hearsay statements; but in this case we think that if the report is untrue. it would be well for the Conservatives to scotch it before It gathers f u r t h e r momentum. For on the face of it the pledge would appear to be a most irregular one. The Ottawa Citizen. which ta kes note of the rumor editorially, says with some justice that it would amount to a special private induce- ment to the Prime Minister’s fol- lowers to stick by him.»

There may be full justification for increasing the indemnities of our House of (‘ommons representa- tives. in view of rising living costs and the expcnses they have to meet.

- But Mr. Ilicfenbaker had ample op-

portunity during the past four years to increase the rates. Not only did he fail to do so. but it is noteworthy that shortly before dissolution. a plea for higher rates made by Mr. Douqu Fisher, member for Port Arthur, failed to receive the support of a single member. A gesture from Mr. Diefenbaker at that time could have resulted in an affirmative vote.

Certainly if the salaries of MPs are to be raised. the increase should It all times be publicly considered In Parliament. Preferably the vote should be made contingent upon its going into effect after a new Par- liament has been called. thus glvmg the electors. as well as all candi- dates for office. due notice of the dlange. The Fisher resolution could have passed on this condition. but

that existing rates left them in fin- Dcial difficulties—were not pro- N to shoulder the political re- Wibilitymf voting for it.

We must emphasize again that Gib promise allegedly given by Mr. Dlefenbnker to his parliamentary followers at the last session may

_ be entirely non-existent. It could

miany be nothing more than 0 rumor started by his politic” «p- m. In any case. It is now cir- culating widely across the country. and It will do the Wolves no

The Liberal-Juv- alroady pub- lished 15 difﬁcult campaign pamph- haudphnthloemmwitha production average of about one million copies each. As with all parties, those are shipped from national attic. for distribution at the constituency level. The New Dem oc ra t s are concentrating on four different booklets. The Social Credit party also has four, and more

.may follow. The bulk of tha Con-

servative party press has yet to appear.

It will be the costliest 1nd slick- ost campaign in Canadian history. Just how much of it will cancel out remains to be seen; No estimate has been made as to how much of this medicine the ordinary elector can take; whether It will grow on him like a drug and make him avid for more. or have the opposite effect. One thing sure. it will be a hectic period for all concerned.

In the circumstances, therefore, we propose a vote of thanks to PostmastenGeneral William Hamil- ton. for some timely remarks he made the other night at a service club rally. Mr. Hamilton had the temerity to say that there is “al- most too much attention paid to the righta of citizenship at the present time and too little to the duties and obligations which must be under- taken If those rights are to be pre- served.”

He didn't mean undertaken by the government or parties seeking power: he meant by us voters. Be- yond that. he said. there was "an o b l i g at io n to vote intelligently through a knowledge of the c“ '7. dates who present themselves and an awareness of the is sue s and their stands on these issues."

Words of wisdom. bill likely to go unheard amid the swelling chorus of competing bids from the party Calliopes.

Ontario School Reforms

0f in t e r e st to educatiorists across the country are the far- reaching reforms in the program of secondary education which will be made effective in Ontario next September. and on which the ')n- tario government is pinning great hopes in meeting the demands of skill and special training which mod- ern industry and business are mak— ing. ~

A basic innovation of the new system is the intmduction of five- year courses into the technical and commercial programs. It is claimcd that these con rses will be the equivalent of the five-year academic course. leading to the Grade l3 examination. Parallel with these courses are to be three four-year courses in the traditional divis‘ s, now renamed Arts and Science. Business and Commerce. and Science. Technology and Trades. These will presumably be of le er difficulty. and will put emphasis on the practical needs of a successful working life.

Included in the plan. also. is a two-year terminal co . basically vocational for thos who find a book-oriented education d”" 't: and. ﬁnally. a special one-year oc- cupation course for those unable to gain mm from Grade 8.

The program la a complex one. and places heavy responsibility on pupils, pnronto and schooi‘ authori- tiea to pick the most appropriate coum for the child at the end of Grade I. But.
