OTTAWA (CPI - Quebec's con- troversial Padlock Law, aimed at preventing the dissemination of Communist propaganda. Friday was found invalid by the Supreme Court of Canada.

The court ruled in an 8-to-1 nia- jority judgment that the 1937 act was outside the legislative powers of the province because it en- croached on Parliamcntis exclus- ive jurlsdiction over the criminal law.

The lone dissenter. Mr. Justice Robert Taschereau. No. 2 man on the ninememher court. wrote that if a province can apply civil rem- edies to prevent crime "I cannot see why it could not also have the power to enact that all those who extole doctrines calculated to in- cite to treason. to the violation of official secrets. to sedition. ctc.. should be deprived of the enjoy- ment of the properties from where are spread these theories. . The judgment quashing the act, which authorizes the provincial at- torney-gencral to issue a closing order-or padlock - on a house used to propagate communism. can be appealed to the judicial commi tee of the Privy Council in London.

Appeals to London were abol- lshed Dec. 9. 1949. but since the case which led to the challenge of the Padlock Law was inlated be- fore that date it does not fall un- der the ban.

N0 COMMENT YET

Premier Duplessls f Quebec. the province's attorney - general. said in the provincial dapital Fri- day he would reserve comment on the judgment until he has read the reasons for judgment.

Be slid it. is possible the "U0- lnce may appeal the decision to the Privy Council "but we are not yet certain."

Under the law. the province has "reasonable delay" to decide whether it wants to ask the Privy Council for leave to appeal. That may mean up to six months or a year. authorities said.

Meanwhile. the Padlock Law is inoperative unless Quebec asks the Supreme Court for a stay 'of its judgment until the Privy Coun- cil either declines leave to appeal or rules on the case itself.

Mr. Duplessis said the Padlock Law was passed "at the request of the late Rodrigue Cardinal Vil- leneuve. Archbishop of Quebec." "It is lnconteetable." he said. "that it has given Quebec incul- culable protection against malici- ous propagande based on atheism and underrnlnlng loyalty to the Queen."

The Padlock Law has been en- forced 13 times in Montreal since 1987. ” '”' were closed for periods between six months and a year. hvelve months was the max- imum period permitted under the act.

CIIALLENGED LAW

The challenge against the Pad- lock Law was made by John Switz- men of Montreal. whose Park Ave nue apartment was padlockcd by 1Quu;bec Provincial Police Jan. 27.

A supporter of the Labor-Pro- gressive tCommunisil party. he admitted his apartment was used to propagate Communist ideas.

After the padlockin. he was sued by his landlady. Mrs. Fred Eibling. who claimed 82.170 in

antiul the lease.

Mr. Justice Frederick T. Collins of Quebec Superior Court dismis- aed her damage claims but an- nulled the lease.

During the superior Court pro- ceedings. the attorney-general in tervened in the case and asked theeotsrttonrlethel-ledlocklaew was within the legislative powers of the province. The Quebec courts ruled that it was.

There were religious undertones to the appeal. as counsel for the attorney-general contended before the Supreme Court that Commun- ist piopaganda tended to under- mine religious morals in predomi- nantly Roman Catholic Quebec. Chief Justice Patrick Kerwin. a Roman Catholic from Ontario. dealt only with the legal aspects of the appeal and even then re- stricted his comments to the ques- tion whether the Padlock Law in terfered with Parliament's exclus- ive jurisdiction over criminal law.

ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL

He found that It did and added: "The conclusion is inevitable that the act is unconstitutional." .

However. Mr. Justice Teacher cau. a Quebec Roman Catholic. took a contrary view. writing in his reasons for judgment that the act did not make communism a punishable crime.

But the province had the right to enact laws to prevent crimes. disorders. treason, sedition and il- legal public meetings which are crimes under the criminal code. It could do so by restricting the use of property. thus coming within provincial powers. He added:

"If. finally. it (the province) has the right to impose civil inca- pacities as a consequence of a criminal offence, I cannot see why it could not also have the power to enact that all those who extol doctrines. calculated to incite to treason, to the violation of official secrets. to sedition. etc., should be deprived of the enjoyment of the properties from where are spread these theories. the objgdt
