e 015's. 7 7 "l, The Same Sorry Shownng

Taxpayers \vill note. as the mist striking thing zilillut the l‘ llnlell session of Parliament after a l\\0> month holiday. that absenteeism is as rampant as ever despite Ihe big pay boost to $l8.000 per member per year—including 36.000 tnx~frcc allowance. Last Tuesday. when the first division took place, the bells to the Commons chamber eventually brought 201 of these 265 high Iv paid servants of the public to their voting duties.

Under discussion at the rims Wu the s115.oou.om required to pay the additional sin a month old age pension. And on another vote. the Government escaped defeat over the U.S.-Cilnada nuclear arms agree ment which it hall refused to make public on security grounds. because of Opposition aliaentees. All parties were represented among the truants. but the Conservatives. with close to 30 absent and not voting. had more than their share.

As the Ottawa Journal remarks. in the old days the MP who wan passing poor on $4.000 a year was easily forgiven if he snatched a few days from a session to earn a little or relax at home But zit $18,000 a year they are. expected to put Parliament first. A man earn- ing that mllch in the Civil Service is a mode] of punctuality and de- votion to duty. Why not MPs'.’ Dis- missal notices are not given to these gentlemen with a month’s notice: but if they are inefficient. neg- ligent or lazv it should be remem- bered on election day.

And. of course. there should be u daily roll cal’. Our Maritime mem. bers. who are among the most regu- lar attendants at their duties in the House. should insist on this in their own interests.

in Parliament's Lap

The House of Commons didn‘t. know what it was in for when it. decided last week tn accept the re- sponsibility of determining what‘s what in the Social Credit party or parties. Nothing like this has hap- pened before in the Canadian Pur- Jiament and no one. ill the brief dev hate on the subject. was able to cite a precedent in the history of my other parliament.

Commenting on this point in the Winnipeg Free Press, the distill- guished columnist Maurice Western calls it something of a milestone in our political development. As a gen- eral rule. political parties resent the intrusion of outsiders into their af- fairs But the situation within the political world of Social Credit "iuil now passed beyond the comprehen- sion of Social Crediters themselves. It in A remarkable fact that the in- vestigation or inquest was entrust- ed to the committee on privileges and election with the approval of one Social Credit group and the somewhat grudirimr concurrence of the other.

Mr. Speaker’s problem arose from the receipt of four letters. three of them from members elect- ed as Social Crediterii and one from Mr. Stanley Knowles. New Demo. ml. The 'irst. from Mi. Gregoire of Llpointn. notified the Speaker that his party had chosen a new Elder and claimed vlrloul rights dnd privileged. The second. from Ir. Thompson. rdferrcd to tho

" of Ir. Cmuetu and from the party. The an. M ill. mm. mm “at lament has beami- r

-vlonal group under the title. Rail- iieillenl tle- (‘l-erlitistea."

Err-u more pressing. however. wall the fourth letter from Mr. Knowles—which claimed that. with the Social (‘rcdit fission. the New Democrats were entitled to ail: next In the Conservatives in opposition. This would rive them precedence. Is a third purly. over the fourth in the speaking and voting order and I right drilled In their rivals of mov. iur amendments in certain cases.

Faced with these demands. the SVPalil‘l' decided that the question was Ion puzr!ing for him to answer. and tossed It river to the Commons commiter in doing so he referred members In ll famous definition of “pal-tr" ll\' Edmund Burke. as "a body of lllru united for promoting the national interest in some par- ticular principle on which they were all agl‘t‘rtl." That doesn't throw much light on the problem in this rare.

'i‘ilr t‘l-cdilistes were not recog- anPll as a separate party in the lust olnrllllil l‘an thy now he grant- ed Infllclul recognition before they have led themselves to the electorate" Or are they entitled to recognition by virtue of numbers and a separate cauclls"

. sisl the opportunin to suggest that

it was all a matter of 34.000 extra. indemultv. and that. he had predict- ed such a development when the l-{nllsp passed its salary hill last August. However much truth there may he in this comment, it unfor- tlinntelv doesn't help to solve the

‘ problem either.

They Stood By Him

The Pearson Government is to be commended on its decision to continue Mr. Donald Gordon in of- fice as chairman of the board of the (‘anadian National Railways. Mr, Gordon says he will submit his resignation in about 18 months. af- ter first completing a reorganiza-

. tion and strengthening of the pub- ; licly owned company: and there is

‘ contract

no question that he is the best qualified mail in the country to per- form this service.

The outspoken CNR president has made a lot of enemies. especiah ly in Quebec. but we note that among his stallnchest supporterI are some of the country's top rail- way uninn leaders. These men haven't always seen eye to eye With Mr. Gordon. but they recognize his outstanding ability. his courage. and his integrity.

Frank Hall. chief negotiator for 100.000 non-operating railway em- ployees and an opponent at many talks, sent a telegram to the Prime Minister "strnnclv urging" the CNR head's reappoint.

. ment. Paul Raymond. chairman of the General Chairman's Association

. Smith.

. Transport

of the ONE. representing 80.000 workers. did likewise. So did W. J. national president of the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway and General Workers. who urged the Government to “ill- noi'e groundless criticism of Mr. Gordon and extend his tenure . . . in the best. interests. not only of our union members. but also of the CNR and the Canadian people it serves."

This helped to relieve the heavy pressure on the Prime Min- ister for Mr. Gordon’s removal. and it was a fine example of putting

national interests ahead of petty

grievances. it is. a fine tribute to Mr. Gordon, too, that he should com- mand the respect of men who are in the best position to judge of the services he is rendering.

EDITORIAL NOTES

There is food {or thought in an item in The Canada Gazette show- ing that the net outstanding uu‘ matured debt of Canada on July 81 was 813.037.200.000. That is just about 51.000 for every Canadian man. woman and child

Scientists lre now working on the idea of putting a satellite in orbit for the purpose of tracking migrations of birds and animals. Tiny radios strapped to these wan- dererll that have been captured and released would emit Ilgnlla. dis- tinctive for each species which the satellite. circling 200 miles above the earth. would pick up and relay to ground atationl. It ill expected to tuck birds and animals over an area 1.000 miles wide on each orbit

if this scheme goes into effect.
