complex civilization in the depth and breadth necessary for an in formed citizenry We are no longer isolated by natural barriers from the rest of the world The Vast oceans have become small ponds The people of Canada therefore must keep watch not only on their own fed We see in good many foreign coun tries the detrimental effects of govern ment interference with newspaper oper ation Under such conditions it is utter ly impossible f9ra news aper to report the news adequately an truthfully Newspaper advertising also contribut es importantly to the newspaper func tion as medium of information It not only bringsnews about products but also makes the newspaper financially eral provincial and municipal governWindependent Thus it can report the merits but also on governments through out the

will be speech es resolutions statements to the press deputations and telegrams aimed at 0t tawa by various leaders of organized labor demanding that the government take immediate steps to help the

next winter because of work stoppage this fall Any delay resulting from strikes at this time in the building of new plants and office buildings may mean at least temporary unemployment for many

Thc case history of Newfound land is vivid illustration of the unusual basic philosophy of Prime Minister Diefcnbnker He is humanitarian rather than Tory he goes beyond mere po liticol platforms and doctrinaire programmes Expressed very simply his philosophy is that all Canadians regardless of place of birth race or religion should have equal opportunities in life lf they care to take advantage of them Hence his governments ge erous treatment to the less pr ilegcd sections of our nation our Atlantic provinces our formers our nurthlnnd hence always within the rcstricilons imposed by our constitution the greatly increased aid offered by the chfenbaker government in education medical care old age pension and veterans benefits Hence too the impression the visitor gels of perpetual sun shine in our Union Jack Prov inceyes even when it is as so often shrouded in fog rolling in from the Atlantic fhls was why the Newfound landers gave such terrific wel come to the first Canadian prime minister ever to visit them on purely personal and unpoliticking visit and why they showed him that in their hearts If not on their ballot pnlt pers they are grateful to his riansrorrocH government
