- The Wrong Attitude
Further evidence of the apathy with which the Canadian public is facing an unwanted election is given in the report of Chief Electoral Of- ficér Nelson Castonguay on the find. | ings of the 70,000 enumerators who polled the country late in September, to gather names for the voters’ lists. Many Canadians, it seems, flatly re- fused to co-operate. Some expressed anger over Mr. Pearson's calling of théelection. Others showed complete ind@ifference, and said they had no intention of visiting the polls on | November 8.
=Perhaps, as a Toronto paper sug- ge&ts, this is the main reason why the election lists this year.contain the names of only 10,191,825 voters, about 250,000 less than had been ex- pected. There were 9,910,757 names on the 1963 voters’ lists. But, due to
‘the increase in population, immigra- tion and the addition of 19 and 20- year-olds, who are now old enough to vote, it had been anticipated that the rolls would have had about 10,500,000 names on them.
But it would. be unfortunate if, for’ whatever reason, a substantial number of our citizens should pur- posely disfranchise themselves. After all, it is“a citizen’s duty as well as privilege to exercise the right to free elettions on every level of govern- ment. Many who feel aggrieved at hav- ingto do so at this time would be the first to complain if their names were accidentally or deliberately left off the rolls. Let us hope that in this province at least there will be a full turnout of people voting for the can- didates of their choice.
As Seen By Pierre — -It has been said that Pierre Sevigny’s book, “This Game of Poli- tics,’ was hurried through publica- tion to take advantage of the current election campaign.

Purifying The Hudson

Both Washington and Albany ask the New York voters to approve a one billion dollar bond issue, one of whose prime targets will be the purifi- cation of Hudson River water. Each day, while New York City has lain parched and thirsty this summer, some eleven billion gallons of water have flowed silently, majestically and useless (for drinking purposes at least) by it to the sea.
Of course, there is no program to suck the Hudson dry. But the utili- _zation of a small percentage of river water would bring a major improve- ment in New York City’s problem and that of other streamside cities and towns. But to ease New York City’s problem and that of other streamside
; towns, a costly and. complicated sys- “tem of purification plants and-gear lmust be set to work.
New York State’s bond issue isa clear warning that a solution to this continent’s growing water problem will not come cheaply. Nor will it. come easily in many areas. Not only will large financial outlays be need- ed, but special skills will haye to be developed to cope with itp) obilace. We may be more fortunate than our American neighbors in this respect, in that our water resources present the problem in a less urgent way. But
_ clearly it is one-of the big problems of tomorrow. See eos
Ottawa and Ontario have already
undertaken an assesment of water resources. This is but the first step in a whole series that will have to be ‘taken, nationally and internationally. It is far too important a matter to be bogged down in partisan politics, in which it has now, apparently, become involved. s :

as the year when this country began in earnest a ‘horoug’:. in- telligent and effective _ war against crime. The present wave of violence and the staggering property losses inflicted upon the nation must be arrested. The time has long sinee arrived for this nation to discard. obsolete methods of detecting and ap- prehending criminals. We must come to grips with the problem of protecting society against criminals.
“What are the basic causes of crime and delinquency? How can we increase respect for law and order? What are the opti- mum methods for preventing crime? Fundamental thou gh these questions are, we have _hever s comprehensive an- swers. national effort must begin with a systematic study of these fundamental problems.”
Was that a police chief speak- ing? Was it Prime Minister Pearson speaking? It should have been; but in fact it was President Johnson, addressing the U.S. nation three months ago, when he announced the creation of a sensationally im-
->~pressive” committee to study all
aspects of crime and the istration of justice.
OUR PROBLEM TOO
More than 2,500,000 serious erimes were committed in _U‘S.A. last year, an increase of 13. per cent over the previous year. Of these. 2,280,000 were property offences, and 330,000 crimes of violence including 9,- 249 wilful murders. In propor- tion to our povulation the figures are equally shocking in Canada, with an average of three persons in every two hundred being vic- timized by lawbreakers. “ The - seriousness with which President Johnson regards the post-war burgeoning of crime

The appointment of that com- mission was quickly followed by the launching of a $2.5 million campaign against public apathy in the nation’s war on crime. This will be undertaken by the voluntary National Council on Crime and Delinquency, and will be financed by private contribu- tions, including a grant of $1.25 million by the Ford Foundation.

The disregard of the law and the disrespect for law officers in Canada assuredly calls for simi- lar action with the same urgen- cy.

The providentially unneces sary plan of early 1965. to eva cuate coastal parts of Vancouv- er Island which was drafted when a fidal wave from an ear- thquake in the Aleutians was feared recalls that only a little more than 20 years ago there were plans to move all islanders to the mainland. That was when,
