De Gaulle’s Mandate

The victory won by General de Gaulle in last Sunday’s referendum on the Algerian question is taken as a hopeful sign that the fanatical Becret Army Organization in Al- geria will now finally be stamped out. And not before time. Even while the referendum was in prog- ress, the terrorists kept up their eampaign, killing 26 persons and wounding at least 71. They also ex- ploded four plastic bombs at poll- ing stations in Paris and the sub- urbs Sunday night. Each day in Algiers 10 to 15 Moslems are slain, and the same thing is happening in Oran.

The vote gave General de Gauile full decree powers to establish and implement all measures to set Al- geria on the road to independence. This appears to have been neces- sary in the circumstances, but it leaves a question in the minds of other French political leaders which 4s causing some concern. The refer- endum was a clear-cut bypassing of parliamentary institutions. How, it is asked, will de Gaulle’s one-man authority, which is likely to grow greater as a result of the vote, evolve back into representative gov- ernment?

These leaders see the tide run- ning fearfully toward authoritarian rule, which explains why most of them, though supporting the de Gaulle policies in Algeria, are »vo- foundly opposed to the way he {s governing France itself. There is no person on the political horizon likely to succeed safely to the authority he enjoys; and what would happen in the event of his serious illness or demise?

But one hurdle, at least, is out ef the way with Sunday’s decisive indorsement. De Gaulle’s Algerian policies have been affirmed, French civil war has been averted, and the president’s new strength could also help make a stronger free Europe. These are causes for devout thank- fulness. If the parliamentary ivsti- tutions of freedom can be salvayed when this emergency has passed, all will be well. Meantime, surely, one can apply here the Scriptural injunction: “Sufficient unto the day ‘la the evil thereof.”

An Opportunity Missed

On one subject of major import- ance to Canada’s economic future the Fleming budget threw littie fresh light. This was the Govern- ment’s attitude on the challenge presented by the European Common Market and President Kennedy’s low-tariff policy to stimulate free world trade. Naturally, no one ex- pected that it would propose, at this time, any detailed change in tariff ipolicy, or give away in advance any @oncessions until it could negotiate on reciprocal terms among our for- @ign customers after the U.S. Con- gress has ratified Mr. Kennedy’s Iegislation. However, some indica- ‘tion of Canada’s awareness of the

‘fully, could surely have been given on Tuesday night.

} The Government, Mr. Fleming (indicated, does not yet know whether will enter the Common and cannot forsee the out- President Kennedy's tariff y but would there

Canada is a primary faetor in American trade policy, its vigorous support would strengthen the pro- gram in American polities at a critical moment.

Canada seemed ready, at the opening of last year’s GATT nego- tiations, to make a substantial tariff-reducing bargain but these apparent intentions were later whittled down very considerably. The United States, on the contrary, went about as far as the President’s existing power of tariff reduction would permit and the Common Market spokesmen responded in the same spirit. Since then Mr. Fleming has given a muted indorsement to the Kennedy program, but his state- ments have not gone far to convince

the U.S. government that Canada 4

really wanted to see tariffs reduced on a broad and deep front if this re- quired any serious Canadian con- cessions.

There remains at Washington the suspicion that Canada will be happy to share the advantages of any tariff reductions between the United States and Europe, but is unwilling to make any sizeable re- ductions of its own. Hence the pri- vate and lately the public warnings from Washington that all the great trading nations like Canada must make their fair contribution to the general goal of freer trade. Some- thing more reassuring on this point was expected in the Fleming bud- get, and it is unlikely that its in- adequacy in this respect will pass without critical notice.

Job Guidance Program

A new program has been launch- ed by the National Employment Office which merits full co-opere'*-n and support. It is designed to assist high school graduates in choosing a career in the work-world of today, and it will begin locally with a ses- sion in the headquarters of the Of- fice in the Dominion Building on Friday. At this and subsequent meetings, applicants for advice will be given an opportunity of personal interviews with representatives of business or industry in the oc- cupational field of their choice.

The program is called Job Guid- ance, and that is precisely what it is. Authoritative information on such matters as educational require- ments, personal requirements, work- ing. conditions, promotional oppor- tunities, wages and other benefits will be made available. The fields of activity cover the construction trades, electronics, accounting, ad- vertising, banking, armed services, home economics, nursing aids, laboratory techniques, journalism, salesmanship, secretaria| work, teaching, and other lines.

The National Employment Ser- vice is to be commended on institut- ing this much-needed program. Choosing a career unaided can oe baffling and time-wasting to many ambitious youngsters and the aid they can get from experienced seniors, in the manner above noted, should be invaluable not only to them but to the community at large.

Civic authorities in Halifax have decided to provide special training for freshmen members of the City Council in order to acquaint them with the functions and obligations of office. The Ottawa Citizen com- mends the initiative shown in this move, but suggests that munici- palities choosing to follow the lead set by Halifax should not be satis- fied to train the newcomers to council alone. Many of the veterans need some basic instruction too.

The growth of bureaucracy at Ottawa is indicated by the fact that 35 per cent of all lands within the federal capital is now owned, lock, stock and barrel, by the federal government and its various agen- cies. A recent study shows Ottawa

surrounded, bisected, eut- through and infiltrated by steadily growing masses of govern-

properties. This grow-

ing oceupancy of areas that were less than ten years ago owned by the city and private developers, is causing serious problems to the civie planning engineers.

Pakistan Charts A New Course

National Geographic News Bulletin

To many on this continent, distant Pakistan is coming into clearer focus as a result of the éxchange of visits between its President and the American Vice President and then by the First Lady.

republic in 1956, though retain- |

In 1958, a bloodless revolt brought military rule, with Field Marshal Mohammed Ayub Khan as president. Instead of perpetuating its power, however the Ayub regime introduced an electoral system of Nine gg 7 mocracies’’ — a pyramid of councils based on the village

Backed by the councils’ over- whelming vote of confidence in 1960, President Ayub has re- cently devised a new constitu- tion. It provides for a one-cham- ber national legislature ana a strong chief executive, picked by elected members of the councils,

Growth of population, increased number of urban polls will mean many more enumerators.

Canada Elections Act requir- es two enumerators in each ur- ban poll, one in each rural. In ur- ban polls the law requires that the returning officer select the two enumerators in each poll to represent two opposed politi- cal interests.
