for exceptions. But at least 3 art has been made in the right rection.

intend repetitious talk is an- g;herlmatter, and it' is about this hat the taxpayers are concerned. A‘ Canada’s Parliament and the G’nited States Senate are akin in gieir toleration of this kind of nerbosity, a fact which drew a «'ertinent comment recently from ‘ne-Minneepolis Star. Many Can- "dianeseem convinced. it said, that this protects Parliament from too filtrong a government; but in prac- .~5"ce,"‘as in this country," it may _ the legislative function.

closure, or cloture, and is followed in due course by a vote.

Closure has a bad name in Can- ada. chiefly because of the manner in which it was employed in the pipe line debate which preceded the downfall of the St. Laurent govern- ment in 1957. But in that case it represented an arbitrary decision of the government, which the oppos- ition had protested from the start.

Mr. Stanley Knowles, who led his party in fighting closure on that oc- casion, is a strong advocate of clos- ure by agreement. “If this could be done a number of times during the session,” he said recently, “I believe it would improve our performance. and it would leave the House free to devote ample time to measures calling for detailed attention."

Two perfectly good reasons for giving it a try.

a The British Crisis I it is confusing to read of the ! British “economic crisis” which threatens to defeat the Conservative government under Sir Alec Doug- las-Home in Thursday’s general elections There are‘more people at work in Britain than ever before. The total in 'August was 90,000 higher than in July and 190,000 higher than in August last year. Incomes. too. are higher than ever before. It. may be said that there is therefore no economic crisis. It seems, however, that there is a financial crisis, a balance of pay- ments crisis, and-an. iiifla.“o“'\i'y ' crisis. At a time when world con- ditions‘f'avor the sale of exports, Britain is lagging. _Her annual rate of deficit is growing to such an extent that the whole currency reserves of the Bank of England could vanish within two years.

True, there has been no “run on the pound,” and the country has borrowed easily all that has been needed so far to maintain a finan- cial balance. But it is clear that action beyond mere borrowing will have to be taken if disaster is to be averted.

This. according to the European economic correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor, is the

the electorate. it may involve, as well, a crisis of understanding, of character, of moral fibre ahead for the British people. This is the line taken bv Labor leader Harold Wil- son who maintains that restrictive practices. and failure to develop science and technology, is leading to a mass sellout to foreign concerns. The human counterpart of this may be found in the series of one-

The dockers. it is said, may have a very good case. But so has the nation.

Welfare is here to stay!

The new $6,700,000 administra- tive headquarters of the federal Department of National Health and. Welfare towers above Ut tawa in height and magnificen- ce. It is the tallest office build- ing in our capital. and is sur- passed only by the Peace Tower of the Parliament Building in height. and by the ritziest new motel in magnificence.

This is obviously no tempor- ary building. Although the Min- istry ‘which it houses is one of the younger departments.'it al- ready ranks as the third biggest spender. ' ’

And it knows how to spend! In the agclong belief that charity begins at home, the department has made this. its first own home. the most lavish office building in Ottawa— perhaps in Canada. It cost $7,900 for each of its 850 employees. and prowd- es a generous 200 square feet of floor space for each.

National prestige is all very well. but this extravagance 15 on a scale which will rile those Canadian taxpayers with sub par living standards who. aver- aging four in family. cannot at- ford $31,600 for their home and do not have at their disposal 800 square feetof modern air- con- ditioned accommodation.

Two embarrassing problems face the British government after the Oct. 15 election. both of them in the same turbulent. corner of the Commonwealth- Central Ah‘ica. ~ ,

The ballots will hardly have; been counted before the issue, boils up over whether coppei- ‘ rich Northern Rhodesia—which = becomes independent as Zam- bia Oct. 24—is to gain control of its vast mineral resources, vital for its economic health.

At present the rights to all mineral deposits. yielding royal- ties of around £7,000,000 a year. are held by the British South Africa Company, which before 1924 largely administered the country. ~

The company claims rights over much of the actual soil of Northern R h odesla. a huge scrubland plateau half the size of Quebec province.

No newly - independent gov ernment could calmly aceepl such a situation. Zambia! Kaunda has .been urlng Britain. as the protecting power until Oct; 24. to make the BSA com- pany yield its monopoly. BRITAIN HELUCTANT

Aside from the dispute ove. compensation—Britain is reluo tant to bridge the gape between the ‘BSA figure and the token payment offered by Zambia- the wrangle chiefly involves a clause in the order-ln-councu which the Queen must sign to grant. independence. The clause binds Zambia to accept the re- sponsibilities of the previous gtwerninz power —— in Zambian eyes entrenchinz BSA company rig t . __

British Prime Minister Doug- las-Home is reported to have shelved the order-in-council un til Oct. 17. two days after the

Sir Roy‘s defeat was hall-ex- pected by informed commenta- tors in Britain—he had his ini- tial platform knocked from un- der him by Smith's decision to negotiate independence. not de- clare it unilaterally as he once threatened. But there were dis- turbing aspects of the byelec- tion—not last the ugly beha- vior of some Smith supporters who hurled anti-semitic insults during speeches by Welensky, who is part Jewish.

By Dr, Theodore R. Van Dellen A new remedy for scleroder- ma iswelcome news as. up to now. no satisfactory treatment has been available. According to Dr. Chris Zarafonatis of the University of Michigan. potas- sium pamino-benzoale (KPABI softens the hardened skin that is typical of this condition. Treatment lasts three or more months.

In scleroderma. the Ikln thickens. giving the impression of being stretched or hidebound.
