parliament by lewis muligaa the government oi saskaichei wan has lowered the voting age for provincial and municipal elections from 21 to 18 and the age quaiin- cation for mayor and city or town councillors has been reduced ccordingly obviously this enfranj chisemem of teenaged youths and girls will benefit the government that granted it but is it wise from a longrange and national point of view one of the mot plausible argul ments put forward in favor of the above during the war that if a vouth of is i able to fieht for his country he is surely qualified to i vote but ability to shoot a gun isj no more a qualification for the tranche than the ability to shoot a goal in hockey no doubt there are many young people of is who are better qualified to vote intelli gently than some adults of 50 butj taken as a whole 18yearolds naturally lack maturity experience and balanced judgment granting that there are many adults whose mental age is not above 17 or is that is ao reason why we should add so enormously to their num ber on the voters lists would we be wllin to give youth- and girls of is a vote on a business board or appoint them as directors or presidents of an indus trial

and frequently of irresponsibility they are attracted by novelties and by plausible arguments anil appeals to their vanity or cupidity we have all passed through that stage we were inch ed to regard our elders as oldfashioned and outofdate in their ideas we knew a great deal more than our parents and when we came of age we were like the young man who remarked its smazing what the old man has learned in the last few years but the worst feature of this attempt to regiment youth fori revolutionary politics is that it is an imitation of the nazi youth movement in germany the nazi knew what they were doing when they organized the hitler youth it is very doubtful if hitler and his political gangsters would have gained power so rapidly if they had oepended solely for supoort on thej adult population their strategy was to undermine the prestige of the parents by perverting the minds of children and young people and j bending their pliable wills to fana tic obedience to a political party we have already universal man hood franchise in canada and the right to vote on public issues should remain restricted to the status of manhood that status is reached at the age of 21 which is generally regarded as the age of discretion and for which the teen age is a period of preparation if we are going to reduce the voting junior farmer field dav treewarthas for the summer sgeto is why
