is aloe must there be govern merit control over what is broadcast Even some of the more erudite publications whose editors should know better are guilty of this error For example Macleans Magazine while de pioring the existence of government control over broadcast opinion feels that such con trol is inevitable The laws of electronics it says limit the number of usable wave lengths and hence deny us freedom of the air in the same wide sense that we have achieved freedom of the press and freedom of speech Neither those who have propounded this theory nor those who haVe accepted it havo ever offered convincing ar ument in sub stantiation it is simply prose as axioma tic On this purely arbitrary foundation rests the whole structure of government control of all forms of broadcasting through the CBC it will be recalled that during the last war it was necessary to impose government rat inning of newsprint This almost exactly par alleled the need forrationing of radio fre quencies yet no one would have suggested that limitation of newsprint required govern1 ment control over what was printed The of ficlal excuse for controlling broadcasting is as illogical as the exercise of that control is dangerous Problem of Painting In Toronto there is public housing pro Ject known as Regent Park which has prov ed to be quite problem It was intended as all these things are at first to

prefer that to spending Lately it was decided that the buildings needed painting and it was suggested that some of the unemployed inhabitants of the housing projectshould do the work Obviously these amateurs would scarcely be able toearn full union wages in this way In facta lot of people feel that even some union men do not earn their full wages on painting today The union however has objected to any one being used to paint these buildings ex cept at full union wagesso that the whole idea of giving unemployed tenants chance to earn some money has had to be abandoned Minister Parodies

Charlottetown Guardian Ono of the serious problems of government is to get and retain the services of qualied top level administrators With the ever increasing activity of government the problem becomes the more diffi cult ln business the man who can efficiently manage multimillion dollar enterprise receives very high monetary rewards indeed because the value of his services is very pointedly shown by the nancial statements of his rm In government there is strong resistance to rev warding particularly able men according to their deserts and although the average civil servant prob ably has an income roughly equivalentto what he could earn in private employment there are Jobs to be done in the public servicecalling for extra ordinary ability which pay little more than average Some nations meet the problem in part by lavish distribution of honors forpubllc service In Can ada this is hardly the case so that financial rewards must be dependedrupon to retain thenecessary ad
