The gross irregularities revealed by the Currie report in connection with the army training camp at Petawawa will no doubt become a hectic issue in the Dominion election campaign, and for that reason it is well to confine comment at this time to the factual statements and implications of the report itself. These are serious

They reveal a "general breakdown" in control of a mil- itary branch concerned with an investment of S750,000,000 in plant and buildings, and worse still ”a serious collapse in security", chaotic accounting methodsfand failure to follow up previous reports of unsatisfactory conditions which should have been investi- gated and remedied months ago.

army works services." The fact is, how- ever, that the responsibility clearly rests upon the higher command and the Defense Department, to which the higher command is directly responsible, and the Opposition forces would be lax indeed if they did not bring this issue clearly before the people. The Opposition leader, Mr. Drew, indicated the line of attack when he said that his party laid full blame upon the Defense De- partment and not on the armed forces. The report states that the chief auditor of the Defense Department had repeatedly reported unsatisfactory conditions and yet no adequate steps had been taken to cor- rect them until the Petawawa case broke. Each report was turned over by the Dep- uty Minister to an Army Quartermaster- General.

It can be said on the Government's be- half that the defense programme has grown to such gargantuan proportions that it would be almost impossible to eliminate all irregularities in administrative detail. What the public expects, however, is prompt action in investigating such abuses when suspected, 'and of correcting "them when re- vealed, in such a manner as to serve as a warning and corrective to future transgres- sors.

The Indies are in the sterling area and in the current restrictions by Britain in protecting the pound sterling, Canadian trade has been seriously hampered. This is something concerning Canadian economics as applicable to the United Kingdom as to the West Indies and no one is suggesting federal union of Canada and Britain.

"Let the West Indies, comprising Ja- maica, the Bahamas, St. Kitts, Nevis, St. Lucia. Dominica, Antigua, Barbados, Gren- ada, Trinidad, etc., have their own parlia- ment," concludes our Sydney contempor- ary. ”They can understand their own prob- lems and solve them better than we could do it for them.

Although a Coronation is mainly concerned with things of the spirit, the rules which govern it lay em- phssis on many material and tan- gible things-costly, glittering and ornamental.

These are the trappings of Mel- uty, symbolic and historic, which are nowadays described as The Regalia. The older, simpler and more beautiful term is The Orna- ments.

If. as charged by a C. C. F. member, the report was garbled before being presented to the House, that too should be investigated. But the main concern of the public is with the attitude of the Government itself in facing this chal- lenge, not on political grounds but with full recognition of the .grave nature of the charges, and of their effect on the nation's vital defense programme.
