lie caims that such charges are generally without foundation and are result of superficial surveys lack of knowledge or deliberate distortion of facts figure frequently used by many in referring to low Japanese wages is 20 cents an hour says the industrial con sultant But he oints out visitor to Tokyo or films or any other Japlt anese city would find it hard to recon cile the 20 cents an hour

to fix the date could postpone it until the end of Much im at latest The political timetable now looks like this routine prevailing before it ad iourned on July 111 con dtour week of Commons sittings

in as little as is sitting days But the pace has been unusually slow this year For example last year the house completed its study of the spending eslimsic of 18 departments in 50 days lhlcyeaHthnrai days on it departments So six weeks added to an already roe ord long session is not an over estimate of what probably lies ahead Then comes another session the important curtainraiser to an election in all probability Aiming at an election possibly in early June the government should prepare by opening the new session in mivaovember thus being ready for any eventu ality We may expect an in aginative throne speech at least four major pieces of legislation to be put through urgently and prosperity budget There pin the apartments estimates should be put through by ml April But with perhaps six arduous weeks of Parliament ahead it is doubtful if the Government could be ready to swing into the new session in midNovember Pan liament is frankly running be hind schedule mnny experi enced

knowl edge of democracy He has said in Sarnia that we cant properly fight com munism until we knowwhat dc knwnimocracyiieruiteetru He also reportedly said that we needed to publish creed of what democracy means Also quite true But please not letus have government the creed Please not that GOVERNMENT NO It is most roassiiring that the prime minister hasibecome awanloe tremendous need for restatement of democracy This augurs well for some action being taken But let it be hoped that the restatement is drafted outside of governmen For if it isnt we could be worse off than we are now No POLITICS The fact is that in any action undertaken by government pol itics must enter to some degree This is not said in sense in any way degrading Our system is based on poli laid off emLLiannszeepingnublMeelin in mind constantly as our polls ticians must do isthe great safety valve in the system But there are certsintimes rare but nevertheless there when action regarding politics must be old of the hands of politicians These are occasions when the action is so important the de cisions arrived at must be as pure as possible and should not be influenced by the least political consideration Our bill of rights wal prob abl onemLthese If it had been drafted nnd handled outside of government through all but its final stage it probably would be more satis factory document And this follows even more so with anystatcmenfbfcrefidf democracy Let the politicians handle it as will creep in particularly those weak nesses which have already crept in and which the political ment would now an pt as of the system or much they offend in princlpi NOT EXPEDTENI Now if Mr Diefenbaker is to come up with creed let it be hoped he gom whole hog and gives us creed that is not ex pedient
