Page 6 Saturday, October 7, 1961 'Free' Enterprise Must Afford Best Education There was only a brief report on the address of Education Minister Robarts to the Young Conservatives at the University of Toronto last Wednesday, but he was quoted as saying that he does not think free university education "jibes with our ideas of free enterprise," and "uni- versity education must be treated as a privilege and not as a right." We wish Mr. Robarts had elabora- ted on "our ideas of free enterprise." Indeed, we would like to know if he honestly believes that there is now any such thing as "free enterprise," in a time when the tax policies of all levels of government make any exercise of private enterprise hazar- dous. There is such a thing as pri- vate enterprise, but it could scarcely be described as free; in addition to the governments' penalties on enter- prise, there are innumerable restric- tions to be considered. That being the case, it is difficult to understand how higher education can be related to something that may not even exist. Is university education to be the privilege only of those whose parents can afford to pay the constantly in- creasing costs of such an education? That is the situation now, except in the cases of students who can com- pile very high marks in examinations --and most thoughtful educators agree that high marks under pre- sent examination methods do not necessarily mean intellectual bril- liance. Higher education is indeed a pri- vilege, but it should be reserved for those whose intellectual and academ- ic qualities fit them to exercise it be their parents rich or poor, rather than those whose parents are able to push them on to university simply because "it is the thing to do." We are entering an age when a nation's progress depends on the quality of its people -- the intellec- tual, technical and moral quality. The higher training of people cannot be left to chance. But nattering about "free education" being inimical to "free enterprise" can only impede that training. Listurbing RCMP Move A short time ago RCMP spokes- men were deploring what they said was the increasing lack of respect shown police officers by the public. Perhaps the RCMP should look to their own actions to find some ex- planation of this trend. A disturbing report came from British Columbia this week. It charg- ed that an RCMP constable had pos- ed as a newpaperman in order to photograph and question members of a group of unemployed people. The reporter who recognized the con- stable, questioned him and wrote the account of the incident, has made a sworn statement that his report was A telegram from RCMP headquarters at Ottawa seemed to confirm the report. The affair calls for the most care- ful inquiry by Justice Minister Ful- ton, because it deeply concerns the public interest. No one would wish to deny the pol- ice the right to use undercover agents, disguises and so forth in their constant battle against subver- sives and criminals, But there must be some judgment used in the em- ployment of these methods. If Moun- ties continue to pose as newspaper- men in order to persuade people (we hesitate to say suspects, because surely it cannot be believed that all unemployed persons are Communists or suspected of being adherents of a political doctrine whicl. is, after all, not illegal in Canada) to give them information and pose for pictures, sooner or later people will refuse to speak even to legitimate newspaper- men. The result will be a drastie reduction in the flow of information to the public. And a poorly informed public provides a fertile field for subversives, rumor-mongers and pow= er-seekers, There is, too, a long-standing Eng- lish tradition that newspapers and their employees protect sources of in- formation, a tradition which has built an atmosphere of trust between the press and the public. It is easy to see how damaging the reported RCMP action could be to this trust. Still Unknown Country It has been the habit of Canadians, when asked how far north this coun- y goes, to say that it reaches all r to the North Pole.

IN A RECENT INTERVIEW I OTAWA REPORT Divorce Mill's i | A Shocking Hurry By PATRICK NICHOLSON The rush to clean up unfin- ished business at the end of a parliamentary session always leads to outcries that our MPs pay insufficient attention to the government's proposals for spending our tax money. This past session was no exception; we heard complaints that $72,- 000,000 was disposed of in the flicker of an eyelid--a state- ment which was literally true, yet so misleading in view of other opportunities for perusal that it was untrue. Overlooked was the more shocking fact that, on the 171st day of that marathon 174-day session, the House of Commons rammed through the committee stage of 351 bills at the rate of three-tenths of a second for each bill. Those were bills to grant re- liei to individual Canadians, nearly all resident in Quebec, by the dissolution of their mar- riage. It is obvious that our 265 MPs, or such handful of them as was present and attentive, could not have given the detailed consid- eration called for by the exam- ination in committee of the whole House. Did the plaintiff, or the respondent, or the co-re- spondent--for these were exclu- sively cases involving adultery-- really have his interests studied by our legislators in just three- tenths of one second? DIVORCE FILIBUSTER The CCF members of this and of previous parliaments have a Jong history of vocal protest against the fact that residents of Quebec and Newfoundland bring their applications for di- vorce to our federal parliament. I have never heard one senator or one MP argue that this sys- tem is either desirable, or fair to the parties involved; it is cer- tainly not the business for which the Fathers of Confederation de- signed our federal parliament, But it is the CCF members who have over the years arro- gated to themselves the cause of throwing divorce business out of parliament. And this session they put up something of a rec- ord, so that Parliament entered on the session's final week with only three of 356 divorce appli- cations processed, IL was bad luck on those ap- plicants that they had met the unusually heavy costs, and gone through the prescribed proce- dure, only to become victimized by a parliamentary argument on 'principle. "In view of the fact that the péople who have made applica- tion for divorces have done so bona fide as far as we know," urged Gordon Churchill, speak- ing as house Leader, 'it might seem wise to the house to deal with these bills, and to continue to search for what some people consider would be a better solu- tion to this problem". Mr. Churchill added that the question of procedure with re- spect to parliamentary divorces is under study, and the govern- ment "hopes" to be able to pre- sent some proposals for its solu- tion at the next session. With this assurance, the CCF lifted its filibuster. MPs ASHAMED For many years we have heard the suggestion that a fed- erai court of law should be em- powered to hear divorce appli- cations from the provinces, Que- bec and Newfoundland, which do not provide such facilities. But an essential prerequisite would be the approval of the Catholic Church, of Quebec officials, and of public opinion. Whilst re. specting the doctrine of any church, and the feelings of its adherents, any federal govern- ment would yet wish to protect the rights of members of other religions to obtain whatever re- lief their conscience and beliefs permit. The matter came to a head in another and unpublicised way last week, when a committee of the House of Commons hedrd in camera the details of one dis- puted divorce application. It was, by all accounts, a midnight shambles travesting justice, the description of which will enable our lawyer-MPs to stun judges and other lawyers for months to come, So it was agreed, by an informal all - party committee, that something must be done. Proposed bills have been drafted; the office of a Queen's Proctor has been proposed; a tightening up on perjury, collu- sion and investigation has been urged; the creation of a federal divorce court has been strenu- ously mooted. But official, religious and pop- ular opinion in Quebec must be taken along whole-heartedly in any attempt to provide satisfac- tory divorce facilities, outside parliament, for non-Catholic res idents of that province. INSIDE YOU Helping To Put Glands In Place By BURTON H. FERN, M.D. Your boy was born without sex glands. Does he need treatment? When? Perhaps the glands only seem to be missing. Tight muscle fibers can pull them up towards the abdomen. A warm washcloth can relax these fibers and allow them to drop into their pouch. Of course the sex glands may never have left the abdomen where they developed. Usually, each is pulled out of the ab- domen through a muscular tunnel along the groin, The male testis can't slide down if scar tissue blocks its path. It won't. if pituitary gland chemicals don't call the signals, or if it remains deaf to these signals. HEAT A KILLER Heat quickly kills male sperm cells. None are left to fertilize female egg cells when both male glands lie snugly inside the warm abdomen. And virile mas- culine men are condemned to childless marriages. An open muscular tunnel waits for the gland to pass. Abdominal contents may push through to form a hernia here. To avoid complications, sur. geons operate on these hernias right away. During operation the surgeon plants the gland in its pouch. Doctors disagree about the time for treatment when no hernia appears. Some surgeons operate when the boy is three years old. They feel that sperm cells are done for after five years inside the abdomen Other doctors wait as long as 14 years, to give nature a chance to do the job without help.

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Many Shades Of Belief On Trade Bloc Approach By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON ~-- Coincident with the start of the opening round of negotiations between Britain and the six Common Market countries next week, the an- nual conference of the Conser- vative Party at Brighton will be staging a pitched battle on the same subject. As evidence that the Common Market is recognized as a potential party- splitter which requires careful handling, plans have been made for two cabinet ministers to take part in the debate, which has been allotted more time than any other subject on the agenda. They are Duncan Sandys, Commonwealth Rela- tions Secretary, and Edward Heath, who is in charge of the negotiations for Britain. Forty-three resolutions on the Common Market have been submitted for the conference. Some express misgivings about Britain's entry into the Com- mon Market, but only one is flatly opposed. The resolution which has been selected by the executive for the official de- bate favors a close association with the Common Market, com- patible "with our Common- wealth and European Free Trade Association responsibili- ties, economic and political, and our pledges to British agri- culture". In effect, this resolu- tion represents government pol- icy, but there are many shades of opinion to provide material for debate. The one resolution flatly op- posed to Britain joining the Common Market comes from Accrington in Lancashire. It urges the government 'not to enter the Common Market, but to return to a policy of in- creasing association with the Commonwealth." CRIME PREVENTION The one subject which has more resolutions than any other on the agenda is that of crime prevention and punishment. No fewer than 66 resolutions have heen presented on this subject, and it looks as if Home Secre- tary R. A. Butler is in for a heated session. The great ma- jority of the resolutions from the constituencies call for the restoration of corporal punish ment and tightening up of the Homicide Act. The temper of the resolutions can be summed up in the one on which the de- bate will take place, from North Somerset. This calls on the gov- ernment 'to extend capital punishment to all murders where insanity is not proven, and also to reintroduce corpor- al punishment to cover all crimes of violence." With the great preponderance o fopinion strongly in favor of more stern dealing with crimes of violence, Mr. Butler will be hard pressed to defend the gov- ernment policy, IMMIGRATION CURB The conference has before it 40 resolutions dealing with the placing of curbs on immigra- tion into the United Kingdom. Every resolution but one e- presses concern at the prob- lems being created by uncon- trolled immigration, and asks the government to take quick action on the matter. One reso- lution, from the Conservative Association of University of London Graduates, "'utterly de- plores the short-sighted cam- paign to restrict immigration into the United Kingdom as being against the best interests of the Commonwealth and the free world generally." Importance of the conference is indicated by the fact that in the various debates 10 cabinet ministers, in addition to Prime Minister Macmillan, are sched- uled to take part in the pro- ceedings. PLEAS FOR PEACE Fifty-nine Labor members of parliament have issued a de- claration based on the slogan: "We are opposed to war over Berlin." They have sent letters to both President Kennedy and Mr. Khrushchev demanding an urgent summit meeting to ease Eact-West tension. Members who have signed the letter include both left-wingers and moderates. Leading them are Emanuel Shinwell, former Labor minister of defence; An- thony Greenwood and Fenner Brockway. Behind the move is an effort to give more punch to Labor party policy on the Berlin issue. The letter asks the East to guarantee free access to West Berlin. And from the West it asks for recognition of the East German regime and accepts ance of the Oder-Neisse line-- the post-war boundary between Poland and Germany. CIVIC LEADERS MEET On the same theme--a plea for peace -- civic leaders of eight overseas cities and towns attended the inauguration of a two-day international peace conference held "at Coventry, and called by that city's Lord Mayor. Representing seven dif- ferent countries, the delegates were from Stalingrad, Warsaw, Lidice, Caen, St. Etienne, Graz, Aosta, Italy and Parkes, Australia. Opening the confer. ence, the Lord Mayor, Ald. W. Callow, said: "Only by mutual trust and understanding can suspicion, fear and tension be removed and the necessary atmosphere created to lead to the reduction and eventual abolition of arma- ments." The mayor of Alexander Dynkin, this ,saying: "We all need peace, the So- viet people especially. Let war never come again. Let the skies over all our cities and towns be kept fresh and clear." WANT APPLE IMPORTS Covent Garden fruit import. ers are to make an approach to the Board of Trade over the restriction on licenses for the import of apples from non- sterling countries such as Cane ada and the United States. These restrictions, along with a shortage of domestic apples, have forced prices to the con- sumer up to unreasonable lev- els. The freeing of imports of Canadian apples, the fruit im- porters claim, would reduce prices by as much as 30 per cent. Apple imports from the ster- ling area, mainly Australia and New Zealand, are unrestricted, but these finish in August. Im~ ports then available from Can- ada and the United States, are subject to quotas. The Covent Garden men want these quotas abolished and unrestricted en try of Canadian apples allowed.
