Although there is fee of $20 extra payable by uninsured drivers this year in obtaining auto licences the matter remains considerable problem in Out ario It was estimated last year that some 200000 car drivers carried no in surance one in 10 The extra premium payable to the province for the unsatis led judgment fund was 55 Rather than take the step into compulsory insurance which should have been done long ago the provincial legislature instead increas ed the premium by $15 hoping this would get the bulk of the drivers into the in sured category Last year there were 1800000 drivers in Ontario carrying liability insurance who met their risk responsibilities on the road as good citizens at greater cost When the $5 fee was imposed some years back the number of insured drivers jumped Those who still did not insure included hard core with had road re cords number of these have since se curedcoverage under the assigned risks plan Many of that undesirably high to tal of 200000 in 1961 who drove without insurance coverage probably did so be cause they could not afford to run car let alone nsure Assuming that greater number of the former uninsured will do so this year ra ther than pay the additional $15 there will still be on the roads an uncomfort able number of uninsured drivers whose innocent victims must look to the ro posed new accident claim fund for am ages Limits of payment will be doubled from those of the present fund and justl fied claims will be paid without the need to go through the former tedious judg ment The cause of greater responsibility on the road and therefore of greater safety would alsobe advanced if it could be got into the skulls of the uninsured that the penalty for lnjurin others may well be steeper At resent uninsured driv er for whom fund pays claim must not onl stay off the road till he flies proof financial responsibility but must repay to the fund the amount of the award in full instalments of at least $25 month system will continue but an increase in the damn es paid from the fund must mean big or rate and longer term of repayment by the unin sured offender Too Many Cars On Road Ten nationallyrecognized traffic ex erts have claimed that Canadians own on many cars for their own good in civic Administration Canadas national municipal magazine they point out that automobile production has outstripped the birth rate and traffic congestion as swept the country like virus Last year we spent $70 or capita on roads and streets more han any oth er nation in the world and weve suc ceeded only in carrying more and more cars to the traffic jams at the end of the superhighways The magazine warns that cities like Montreal Toronto Ottawa and Winnipeg can be eliminated as economical com mercial centresby 1971 if traffic transit and parking problems are allowed to mul tiply at the present rate Man recom mendatlons have been made these experts Onlfi time will tell if those with authority wi carry them out By then it may be too late Other Editors Views IS JUSTICE TOO COSTLY Gait Reporter provincial government report sug gesting broad reorganization of the Ontario court system is designed accord ing to AttorneyGeneral Kelso Roberts to reduce legal costs and render the civil courts more accessible to those having occasion to use them The report compiled by Assistant De puty AttorneyGeneral Eric Silk also recommends measures aimed at stream lining legai procedure in the province Whether the government will act on the recommendations arising out of 10 months of investigation remains to be seen But while Ontario court procedure is being considered it might be well to look into the high cost of justice especial ly for the innocent Appearingin court on any charge can be costly affair The accused may well be assumed innocent until proven guilty but quite frequently he finds it necessary to prove his innocence at his own ex pense person is alleged to have committed Fa crime or even traffic violation He gotten finds it essential to be represented by skilled legal counsel The hiring of such services can be expensive He may appear in court to give testi mony and this entails loss of work In the end he may he found innocent but it lrhas cost him plenty in time money and worry to do so Persons accused of minor traffic viola tions although convinced of their innoc ence decide it is not worth the money and bother to fight They pay the fine or forfeit bail and justice goes by the way It seems only fair that man proven innocent should not be out of pocket be cause he happened to be charged after suspicion pointed to him as an offender Members of the legal profession have and do offer their services free when person is unable to pay and is obviously in need of counsel But they cannot be ex pected to overlook fees for every case in which they are successful Obviously such losertakeall attitude would do lit tie to encouragelawyers citizen called to jury duty receives some

young Brit ish officer to Wellington at Waterloo My God Sir theyre firing on the Guards That seems to be the attitude the men tality of some of our Canadian expatri ates in London plus some of our

emerging from colonialism speak up like this to their batters Why its antiBritish cries out Mr Pickersglll scandalized and humiliated Viscount Amory that wise sophistic ated nglishman just sent here as Brit ains High Commissioner is evidently puzzled by this type of Canadian mind Asked in Toronto this week if the Brit ish really were annoyed with us some thing which Toronto would regard as cal amitous he said simply that Canada was dead right to speak her mind plain yv Viscount Amorys politeness probably made him conceal his amused contempt but it is not hard to imagine his mind about the sycophants who would ask him if the British were really mad atus for daring to talk up to themto be firing on the Guards As the Journal remarked the other day the British are probably the worlds most experienced and hardest traders their only contempt for us would be and rightly if we lacked the nerve and brains to try to take care of our own trading in eres Paragraphically Speaking It

policy challenged in the courts Union loader Frank Cousins is the man behind the challenge acting through one of the members of the Transport Workers Union who is an Admiralty storehouse assistant Mr Cousins has he announces had writ issued against the Admiralty demand ing full payment of an industri al court award which has been artly frozen by the pay pause In September the industrial court awarded 2464 Admiralty storehouse assistants and as sistant laboratory workers an increase of $200 week in their wages dated back to Feb 14 The treasury acting under the pay pause policy ruled that the man could receive only $105 of the award and that the rest would be frozen until after the pay pause The writ which has been is sued to bring test case be fore the courts claims the ro mainder of the pay which has been withheld amounting to 35 week This should pro vide an interesting court hear ing And the result is highly important If the plaintiff in the action wins his case in the courts then Seiwyn Lloyds pay pause freeze will be torn to shreds becauso of the legal re cedent established So pu llc interest particularly on the part of civil servants and trade union leaders is at high pitch Some of them have feeling that rather than risk setback in court dacisron the government might decide to give way in this particular award as the application for the wage increase was made in February last long before the pay pause began HEATED TIMES AHEAD There are going to be some eated debates in the House of mmons when it resumes its sessions on Jan 28 after the Christmas and New Year re cess The announcement that the government will introduce the guillotine or closure as it is known in the Canadian par liament to the Commonwealth lmmixlauts Bill and the Army Reserve Bill has arousedthe opposition to fighting pitch Hugh Gaitskell opposition lead er made this pain when he said on hearing the announce ment that the government had thmwn down challenge He added We shall take it up This leaves us no option War is declared Mr Gaitskellswar promises to be an intense one and he and his supporters will be re turning from vacation period ready to go all out in their ef forts to block the governments legislative program HOPE FOR WEDGWOOD BENN new hope has arisen in the mind of Lord Stansgate who prefers to be known by his ormer name of Anthony Wedg wood Benn that he may yet he able to sit in the House of Com mons again He is the former Bristol MP who fought in the courts to avoid going to the House of Lords when be we ceeded to peerage on his fathers death There are very definite indi cations that early ln the New Your the government will at up special allparty commit tee to undertake study of me thods of reforming the House of Lords lain Maclood leader of the House of Commons has al ready had very promisin meetings with Mr Gaitskel leader of the opposition and Josuph Grimond Liberal lead er to discuss the terms of re ference for such committed Included in these forms of ro fcrenco there is certain to be the question of legislation to en able peers to renounce their titles Last summer Mr Gaitskell refused to commit his party to discussion on House of Lords reform because he considered the terms of reference proposed were not satisfactory Now it appears Mr Macleod is ready to agree with Mr Galtskell on an allparty survey which would consider whether peers and pceresses in their own right should be permitted to dro their title if they wish and st in the House of Commons COMMON MARKET DOUBTS Although it is known that the government is extremely anx ious to reach satisfactory agreement under which it can join the EuropeanCommoa Market great doubts are aris ing as to whether this will be possible The negotiations so far have produced very stiff attitude on the part of the Com mon Market Six towards mak ing concessions necessary to safeguard the Commonwealth trade relations and British agriculture There is some inclination within the Common Market groups to make concessions so that colonial territories and some of the newer and under developed Commonwealth coun tries can be included within any agreement in the same way as French and Dutch overseas territories are now accepted as part of theEuropean Economic Community But they are not disposed to make any concesa slons which would enable Can ada Australia and New Zea land to continue to enjoy their present preferences in the Brit sh market Any concession in thatdirectlcn would be purely of temporary character to be dropped by degrees over stab ed period of years The situation as it affects British agriculture has become very much confused because of the failure of the Common Mar ket Six to agree among them selves as to what the ECG agricultural policy is going to be France and Germany are as far apart as the poles on this question and it may be that before any policy is ad ated Britain may be in post on to have something to day as to what it will be Howavar there are little inci dents which show that British pcople are becoming reconciled to entry into the CommonMar kat group of 40 members of the Kent branch of the Purchas ing Officers Association is
