The Patronage Game

The Civil Service Federation has taken a stand against. the patronage Iystem as applied to federal em- ployees who are not protected under the Civil Service Act, and has pro- tested the dism, al of two persons in this Province. The employees in question were fisheries officers. who Ire. it seems. hired without competi— tion by local officials. This is the first time the Federation has pm- usted publicly about specific cases of this kind. and the incident is re- ceiving notority across Canada.

The two fisheries officers. who had been appointed by the former Conservative government, were rs- portedly dismissed on Jilly 21 without my reason being given and were re— placed by two Liberal appointees. one of Whom had been fired by the (‘oll- Isrvotivea after the 1957 election. This strikes the Federation as being I rank example of party patronage, Ind it is pressing for a definite fed- lnl policy against such practice.

We quite agree with ths Federa- tion that this kind of thing is an ex- ample of “political Immaturity," and detrimental to the interests of the lervics as well. But we are rather Iurprised at the statement of the Fed- eration vice-president, Mr. Dumou- chel, that the practice has been large- ly eliminated in the federal govern- ment. except in the Maritimes where the "political mores are perhaps less mature." We were under the impress- ion that it was at least just as preva- lent in Quebec, and possibly in other provinces, as It is here. That doesn't excuse it. but it is well not to over- state the case.

And, of course. it is something for which no one party can be held ro- Ipansible. The Grits have been firing Tories. and the Tories Grits. since befom Confederat'on: and it is only because of the Ci '1 Service Act that tho motion Isn‘t more widespread than it is today in every field of guy- Irnme'nt employment. The subject amps up frequently in Parliament, but the pages of Hansnrd afford little ovidenu that there is any burning desire on the part of politicians to do any with this method of recompen» ling their supporters at the public

Viol Act. Ws would say that all of those persons. if they are worth hir- krg, are worth protecting against tummnry dismissal for partisnn rea- Ions; but this can only be brought lbout through proper legislation. Pious assurances on the part of any My in power would mean very Ittla.

No Reason For Haste Prime Minister Pearson has an- Iounccd that tho draft agreement on Acquisition of nuclear warheads has boa "pretty well agreed on by Can- idicn and American negotiators; but fi hasn’t yet been concurred in by «no governments concerned.

President Kennedy. in A recent state- ment. cast grnvs doubts on the pros- pect of providing any real protection against an intercontinental ballistic missile attack.

Already the American military arm, the Pentagon. has spent $1.36 billion seeking such a device and in— tends in spend several hundred mil- lion more next year. But is thlt suffi- cient reason for Canada signing I pact that would saddle it with nuclear warheads or a dubious defensive na- ture? Before doing so, the Pearson cabinet might well give reconsidera- tion to the whole matter.

It Got Short ShriIt

The provincial premiers seemed to have touched on almost every sub- ject under the Canadian sun during their meeting in Halifax except one of the most important of all—rela- tio between the , ' and the municipalities. This is noted with concern by the Ottawa Journal. Ac- cording to Premier Lesage in a press interview, the statement submitted to the conference by the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipali~ ties wasn't discussed “because a num- ber of premiers objected to studying I brief that had been made public be- fore it was submitted to them.”

The mayors asked that the muni- cipalities be given a larger voice in decisions taken by provincial gov- ernments which directly involved their interests. They asked for com- mittees representing the provinces and their municipalities and s provin- cial-municipal conference. Their mem- orandum neither begged nor threaten- ed. It was a thoughtful, persuasive statement.

It was. concedes The Journal, un- wise and perhaps rude of the Federa— tion to release its brief in advance. There has been too much of this kind of thing. and the premiers were justi- fied in indicating their displeasure. But the importance of the subject matter warranted it. being given as much consideration M ways of col- lectinlz sales tax or some of the other measures reportedly discussed at their closed conference. and it is too bad that it was dismissed in this peremptory fashion.

What, No Digging?

One thing modern science has done is to revolutionize the techniques of archaeology. An expedition to Turkey, sponsored by the National Gmpic Society, affords an example of this. It will use a seismic device, an under- ground camera and an earth peri- scope to invade the tomb of Antiochus 1. king of Commagens in tbs first century before Christ.

The toomb is under 150 feet of lock and rubble. stop I mountain; and the idea is to "see" into it without digging. The seismic unit is designed to locate hollow areas such as n vault. Once located. a three inch dia- meter hole can be bored through the earth to the vault. A tube. fitted with I tiny camera. can be lowered to take photographs with is powerful photoflanh unit providing the light.

As for the earth perlwopo. it costs out centuries of darkness with its own fluorescent light. permitting scientists to peer at will into under~ ground chambers.
