city council this week acted to stream line Its administrative work Three standing committees were eliminated and in their place two were formed to handle all clvlc business Each committee will have seven mem here including the mayor and proceed ings will be open to the press The fact that business will be reportable ls of vital importance Now the public will read newspopaer reports of actions taken by committees and of debates leading up to these decisions Formerly reso lutions of committees went before coun cil in the form ofterse statement which often required explanations And all too frequently the public was unaware of decisions until it was too late to take action Now all council business even in com mittee will be open to the public Ald erman Gerald Roberts who often re sorts to sarcasm to make point told council that the press can now take their crying towels and go home He added that there can be no more com plaints that we keep things hidden Mr Eoberts statement was an obvious reference to Examiner editorials from time to time which urged council to open meetings for the benefits of the press and the public And as the press is the public in sense we are most happy that the mayor and the alderman have listened to our cry The mayor of course has expressed desire for open 30 YEARS AGO IN TOWN Barrie Examiner Jan 15 1939 its ort from Ottawa that government es mates

Town Council decided meetings and we must infer that his in fluence has been considerable in bring ing about the change As to the twocommittee structure we feel it is good thing The aldermen wui be better informed about the details of civic business than they have been in the past and they will come to regular council meetings with knowledge of what has transpired The reports of committees In the press should add to that knowledge There was only one disquieting note at this weeks council meeting This was the decision to strip Aid Jaok Gar ner of chalrmanshlps The fact that members of the striking committee who recommended the new setup ore Liber als may not have had anything to do with it Nevertheless it is true that Aid Garner is staunch Conservative and his political leanings may have affected his place on council if this is so it is regrettable Politics should have no place on council especially since no pro vision hee been made rorthe party sys tem Men are elected on their merits and not as standardbearers or any party It is to be hoped that party politics will not enter strongly into council bus iness good start has been made on reorganization Themove has been made

refuge to the victims of African racial ism The most astonishing part of ihe whole business is that the Africans do not even seem to realize that they are being raci alists at all Which reminds me of an em counter with Krishns Manon at UN session when he had sup poricd the annexation of New Guinea by lodonesla but up posed sslmller process between Greece and Cyprus asked him why and he answered that the New Guinea case involved dis pute between colored people and whites whereas in Cyprus it was whites and whites and so no concern of his Nor was fun gary much of concern to lilr Manonwhites were being inean to whites and whites no doubt deserved one another Undeniably the whites have colonized and exploited the cal ored people for some conturies now and even though most of these colored people now have their independence inevitably they bear scars which show limit is very difficult to regult move up to first class to an ex ecutivs position see no ev idence that active hostility to

many will rea Constitutional Reform Kaput As For As Govt Is Concerned By CY YOUNG The pessimistic view at Queens Park toward constitu tional reform is that the whole thing iskaput at least for the time belog Several significant changes in the situation have occurred dur ing the past month or twothat have prompted members of the three parties to wonder if con stitutional reform will ever be attainable in Canada The most important of these changes is the new hard line adopted by Premier John Ro barts Although the premier himself has been cautious prov incial Treasurer Charles Mac Naughlon spoke rorhlm when he said it would be pointless to discuss constitutional reform with Ottawa until Ottawa is pre pared to talk fiscal reform and to acknowledge the claims or the provinces for greater share of tax revenue On two occasions late last year Mr Roberts and Mr MacNaughlon returned empty handed from fiscal talks with federal Revenue Minister Benson Facing $300000000 deficit In the next fiscal year the Ontario government will have toilncreasetaxes in the budget tobe Introduced In the legislature after the session re sumes Feb The hard line is difficult one for Mr Roberts It was he who convened the Confederation of Tomorrow conference in To ronto inNovembcr 1967 that developed the cooperation of the late Premier Daniel Johnson of Quebec and led directly to the federalprovluciol talks in February 1960 These were tohavo resumed last December but Mr John sons successor Premier Jesu 31ach Bertrand became ill and they were postponed until February Now there doesnt seem to be much point in the opinionof many observers in going ahead with them The other provinces are vir tually certain to be uncoopera livetheyll follow Mr Roberts leadon constitutional reform until the Trudeau government becomes more Wrative on fiscal affairs stalemate situation has been firmly established IOSES CDMJVIITTEE The other significant change in the situation is thatlilr Ro barts has lost his standing com mittee which was to have coor dinated the opinion of the prov inces for presentation at feder alprovloclal talks on reform of the constitution Mr Johnson died and Premier most Mau nlng of Alberta retired Mr Bertrand is an automatic successor to Mr Johnson but there are rumors at Queens Park that his health may pre clude him from this extra load the health record of Quebec premiers in recent years has been appallineg poorand that his substitute would be Educa tion Minister JeanGuy Cardinal who is regarded at Queens Park as being litileshort of separatist In tireWest the situation is no much beer Premer not much better Premier Bennett of British Columbia has no interest whatsoever in constitutional reform and never late inicrnatlonal relations ll siandards are unequal to the ex tent of the African demand in the case of British Immigration laws Such demands by African siaics can only make more diffi cult the efforts of enlightened British politiciansrwho are against raclaiism Their taik Is madc harder when the demands of rho Africans so disregard ea ulty And the enlighicned British politician need all the help they can get They live in demo cratic society in which they must take Into account the will of the majorityil they do not they lose power So for malarv ity opinion in Britain has not been racist There is strong and very vocal minority which opposes further colored immi grailou There also is Mr Enoch Powell who says the col ored immigrants olready la Briioln should be given finan clal Indiiccmcnt to get out of Britain Most British politicians to theirhonor have rejected the temptation of exploiting the demsgogle potenilei of the ra cial issue and they would be In svterrlbla dilemma ii African unreasonablcness made racial Ism more fashionable in Britain After all the racists are only saying Why import the sort of crisis which now plaguesthe United States Why not keep It out is it wrong to hope to avoid trouble when it is still possible to
