Shattersr Indias Posiure Of Innocence Asthe old saying goes My how the mighty are fallen Prime Minister Nehru of India has been mighty man with mighty high principles but it would appear that those principles are for others and not for India India has preached non aggression peaceful solutions to world problems has glossed over suchrevolt ing events as Red Chinas rape of Tibet has suggested neutralism as the only fair course Thus it is enlightening to see that India speaks with two tongues India has posture of innocence for the world and posture of land theft and ag gression for home consumption it is impossible to uphold Portugals colonial system which surely ranks as one of the most brutal and nonbenevo lent in history But it is equally im possible to uphold Indias resort to arm dd force to liberate Goa Liberate as word has an all too familiar sound to most of us It is the word used by Communists as they swallow up yet an other nation It was the word used by Italy in Ethiopia and even by the Nazis he were not too concerned about hid ihg their plans for world conquest under the umbrella of polite words India has tough record at home on matters of national dealings with her neighbors She has talked and acted tough in Kashmirend in earlier armed conquests to add independent portions the old lireIndependence India to en nation following the granting of Independence grind yet this has been the nation which so stoutly has condemned others particularly the West But it has also been the nation which has not con demned in any loud voice the Russian suppression of Hungary or Russias rs sumption of nuclear testing Perhaps it is all for the best that we can now realize that India has no greater right to preach world morality than any other nation Thus we who held to the determination not to allow the Soviet to dominate the remainder of the world will not view Indias const ant protestations as coming from any particularly moral or righteous source More than any other aspect one strikes us as of great importance That is the future direction of the Common wealth We vieWIndias aggression as the possible death knell of the Common wealth which already has taken on twofaced complexion South Africa was rightly encouraged to leave the Commonwealth as result of racial policies Yet Ghana firm dictatorship with the complete closet of totalitarian tricks including suppression of freedom of speech and freedom of the press and the casting into jail of opponents of the regime has been al lowed to remain South Africa and Ghana are ag gressing against their own people at home India is aggressing agalnst neighboring colony perhaps even with the full support of the Indian people there Why should Ghana and India remain in the Commonwealth or why should there be Commonwealth at all India couldnt or wouldnt settle her difficulties without resort to force What right of moral leadership can India pretend now Poor Ghandli Poor India How the mighty have fallen

warboom years from ms to 195 The placement total is yard stick in measuring bow well the employment service is inkling the manpower challenge The service wsa set up in 1041 as the ioblinding wing of the Unemployment insurance Commission whose main field is he in Jobless workers finan cisly until they get back to work new emphasis is emerging for the emp omcnt service as the positive side of twowsy attack on the general unem ployment roblcm Our tee is to provide assist sncs in workers by finding them jobs and to employers by find ing workers to fill their job QUEENS PARK openings said NES chief Wil lism Thomson HIGHER THAN 60 in the first 10 months of El NBS placements were running in per cent ahead of the com parable period last year in only one month the peak unemploy msni naonth of

nine per cent and the Prairies eight per cent The utoplen ideal of course is for N35 to work itself out of slob an impossibility What were really after is the best possible organisation of the labor market so as in last year Judicial Inquiries Not The End All By DON OIIEABN TORONTO Thls is being written before Premier Roberts makes his announcement on crime it is being done so intention allyso that there can be no question of second Drinking and because there is an important point to be brought out The poinii That commissions probably stems from the fact we are mentally lazy and really dont want to take the effort to recognize that all reports are based on human investigation and human decision if we did recognize this we would have to make the mental effort to decide just how good they are And it is easier to accept them bolusbolus Judicial inquiries or any other type of investigations are not absolute Not the endall They are iust as variable as humans themselves They can be good poor thor ough or superficial strong or weakend often are just about middling GODS TRUTH We are inclined to be lazy mlnded bunch in this society of ours and perhaps this is the cause Whatever it is we are inclined to give anything of an official nature the status of infellability Anything that comes in the form of report we are liable to accept as Gods truth It is un infulllbility we also glvefo the bench and even are inclined to give to statements no matter how ussinine they maybewhich are delivered in these legislative bulls Speaking as member of tho publicatlarge one can say tbil SEE THROUGH Why bring this up Well the upcoming inquiry into crime promises to be the most controversial in recent years at least There will be political sccu nations thrown back forth and over the boards And unless we keep in mind that this is human investiga tion by human beings who will be making human decisions we will be in an awful mess trying to figure the rights from the wrongs This is good point to keep in mind under any circumstan ces today We are having more and more commission boards and reports To keep balanced eye on government you simply must be able to look at them with an objective eye and try and see through them And it aint easy REPORT FROM ILK Shows Remarkable Housing Record By MclNTYRE HOOD Special London England Correspodnent for The Barrie Examiner LONDON While the London County Council controlled by Labors majority is coming in for severe criticism for the ser ions housing shortage and the lack of accommodation for 3000 homeless farfillies it can pre sent substantial record of achievement in the field of housing activity In fact what has been accomplished since the end of the second world war might well be considered remarkable Drastic measures ware necessary not merely to house people in London but to get them out of London and Erovide them with em loyment their new commu ties As soon as the war ended the magnitude of the coming roblem became apparent The Eondon County Council tackled it boldly The councils plan ners drew up scheme in build ring of 15 new housing estat es round the fringe of the cap ital This was the beginning of what has become known as Operation Oversplli ALMOST COMPLETE Todey ls yearselnier allrbut two of these estates all within 25 miles of Trafalgar Square have been com leted The ter gct set was provision of 45000 new houses and apart ments Today only few hun dred remain to be built at the two uncompleted estates These are at Edenbrldge in Kent and Britwell near Maidenhead Buckinghemsiiire The biggest of these county estates at Harold Hill now houses 7831 families Three others at Debden Boreham wood and Oxiie each have over 4000 new omes Aveley has become the home of 5800 families from London Thus the first phase of the operation has been very successful THE SECOND PHASE The second phase wasto ro de for the ension 14 provincial towns srthcrsiield and to persuade industries to move thereto cm lay the Lon

involves the im plementation of plans to move further 50000 London families in the next 15 years to such places as Ashford Kent Aylesv bury Basingstoke Biatchiey liaverhiil Luton and to Thed ford in Norfolk JOBS PROVIDED Moving people to new com munities is one thing Provid ing them with jobs there is quite another lhis has also been tackled with success Over 80 new firms are in production in the expanding towns and an other 29 hope to be operating in 1062 furiher27 compan ies are negotiating the estab lishment of new factories and offices Finally with the cooperation and assistance of the govern ment there are the eight gov ernmentsponsored new towns in the Home Counties in which homes have already been pro vided for 334300 people The ultimate target for these is combined population of 435000 in the county of London itself the LCC has built an average of 3600 new homes year most ly inn apartment blocksAnd in addluon the Metropolitan Councils of Greater London have built another 65000 homes in spite of the fact that there is still housing shortage in the whole London area what has already been done to solve the problem ranks as fine schievement in taking care of its surplus
