Quebec's Rising Hope
Writing in the Winnipeg Free Pre-s,, Bruce Hutchison notes as a matter of grave Liberal concern the failure of Prime Minister Pearson to find vet. an acceptable French Canadian coadqutor It ts assumed that he can carry most of. Quebec in a ceneral federal election aniv be- cause Mr Diefenbaker has alienated it. but an electoral victory would not solve the basic problem If he is to have anv chance of uniting the na- tion. Mr Pearson must secure not merely the votes but the confidence of the French Canadian people and he can reach them only through a leader of their own race whom thev fullv trust
There is no such leader tn Ottawa now Mr Pearson's first choice. Mr. Lamontagne, and his second choice, Mr. Favreau. have both failed to win Quebec's confidence. The vacuum — must soon be filled and there is “no one to fill it except Maurice Sauve. who manages the forestry depart- ment with his left hand and. with his right commands the loyalty of the new generation tn Quebec Liberalism.
"Mr Sauve is the rising man in
French Canada. for the moment anvy- wav He has risen so fast. writes Hutchison, that his fmends-already regard him as something like a sec- ond Launer and his numerous enem- | ‘es hope that he will trip over his boundless ambition .
Mr. Pearson must soon decide whether Mr. Sauve shall become his accepted Quebec lieutenant If the decision is affirmative. as seems probable. that would not settle the deeper issue raised by this young rebel’s stand against the old Liberal machine in Quebec. For Mr. Sauve seeks much more than personal power. He is determined to cleanse the Liberal party in French Canada after its recent nauseating scandals.
In promoting him Mr. Pearson would risk the fury of some honest French Canadian Liberals, including federal cabinet colleagues. but he would begin his most urgent task. | It is to prove throughout the nation that his government has finally de- cided to deal with the mess in Que- bec.

The UN’s Future
“The UN of Dag Hammarskjold 1s dead.’ mourns the headline of an article dealing with the future of the United Nations in a fickle world. There is much truth in this. though it is not necessarily a matter for despair. Basically, today’s discussion of the effectiveness of the UN refers only to that one-sixth or one-seventh of UN activity which is wholly polit- ical and commands headlines. It is a discussion of power. The other five- gixths of the UN—the international + war on poverty. ignorance and under- development—is_ steadily growing. But its existence. of course, depends on the UN's political survival
If Dag Hammarskjold were Sec- retary-General today he would un- doubtedlv operate his office in a dif- ferent manner than was possible in the late 1950's. Political realities have changed basically since then. The UN of the 1950's was a club of about half the. world. They represented a situa tion of diplomatic dominance by the big powers—particularly the United States and the Soviet Union—that could not go on forever.
In the early 1960's the new Afr- can nations poured in. Their total | number now is 3@—almost twice that | of the Latin Americans who were once the mainstay of the pro-Amert- can majority. The Afro-American group came t# constitute a simple majority in the Assembly.
Since the new political reality be- | gan to sink in, there has been what | Soviet and French leaders regard as a marked aberration from the char- 4 ote! io é

Mr Nicholson admitted Par lament that the decision left mugh to be desired but argued that it was in accord with the Immigration Act and that his officials had-acted pre, perly On Friday. however. under a further barrace of criticism in the Commons. he said he had decided to allow Prof Siblev to enter Canada
As Opposition Leader Diefen- baker remarked after this announce- ment. “repentance is always wel come” But it was a pettifogging sort of repentance. to sav the least. The admission in Prof. Siblev’s case. the minister added. would be onlv for the
in
Voice of Women or the student body of the Universitv of Manitoba After which. presumably. the visitor would be expected to take himself off or submit to the kind of bureaucratic inquisition which is reserved for sus- pects of malodorous repute
This was adding insult to injury. and calls for a full explanation on the minister's part If he was raght in the attitude he took first. he should have stuck to it and not wilted under pressure of public opimion If he was wrong—and that is the general opin- ion, to put it mildly—then he should admit his error and apologize
Properly Safeguarded
As the Donon inquiry takes its tortuous course. readers who are following the evidence cannot fail to be impressed by the scrupulousness shown by the presiding jurist. Mr Justice Dorion. in dealing with the various issues involved A case in point was his insistence that Erik Nielsen. MP. who first made charges against certain ministerial aides in a speech in the House of Commons. should not be required to give his sources of information when he ap peared before the commission of in- quiry >
As the Ottawa Journal remarks, every one of the battery of lawyers attending the inquiry hearings would love to know how Mr. Nielsen came to learn so much. Thev had to be con- tent with Mr Nielsen's declaration that he had not depended on one source
Parliament's ability to ensure propriety in public business would be sorely limited. as The Journal well says. if members had cause to fear that information about their sources they were unwilling to give the House could be forced from them before an outside inquiry.
When the questioning of Mr. Niel- sen approached what he considered the danger area. Mr. Justice Dorion reminded the lawyers of the agree- ment that the witness should not be asked his sources of information’ The commissioner was watchful and ef- fective. Unless MPs are so protected their value as representatives of free people will be ended.
EDITORIAL NOTE
One would suppose that the bord- er between Ontario and Quebec had been fully defined years ago. But the Ontario minister of lands and forests. Mr. Roberts. says. there 15
inces were looking for the correct line and description. This is in the Lake St. Francis area. a widening of the St. Lawrence River. which con- tains a number of islands inhabited by a few Indians and by summer cottagers. _

The one-horned Indian rhino, oné of the world s rarest anim- als. is facing one of its gravest threats
Poachers have taken a big tol! of rhinos in the last six months Thirteen rhino carcasses were recently located in the Kaziran- ga sanctuary in eastern India. the only other place where the one-horned rhino is still to be found besides the Himalayan kinedom of Nepal
The ‘rhinos are being hunted for their horns. believed by As- jans to have great medicinal value ,
A single horn is said to fetch anvthing up to $1,000. India. China. Burma. Thailand and the tiny Himalayan kingdoms of Bhutan and Sikkim are the prin- cipal markets for rhino borns
Potions made with powdered rhino horn ere believed to con- fer ‘eternal youth’ and cups made. of the horn are said to neutralize the strongest poston Another belief is that a rhino horn® placed under the bed. of a woman at the time of childbirth would make her labor almost painless. .
