Federal communications minister Jeanne Sauve makes sesnse when she rejects outright censorship as the answer to get violence off the airwaves There no doubt is general agreement there should be more variety of film programs offered at prime times People would like to see more Canadian talent and films if they were programs offered at prime times People would like to see more Canadian talent and films if they were produced up to the standard of films but au diences can hardly be blamed for feeling they should be the ultimate judge and have freedom of choice Referring to Ontarios muchdiscussed LaMarsh com mission report that would practically limit the showing ls of violence Mrs Sauve agreed with the widelyheld opi Stuart Smith faces test By DON OIIEARN Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service TORONTO fascinating exercise here will be watching and assessing Stuart Smith The Liberal leader with less than three years in politics quite suddenly has been vaulted to the second most important political job in the province From what he has shown so far actually what he has been able to show for his scope has been limited there has been much to value in Dr Smith But our knowledge of him and again because of the scope for our knowledge is limited Particularly we have known man who largely especially during the election cam paign has been able to choose his own spots We really dont know of him as man con tinually under fire and pressure on all fronts which as leader of the opposition he will be from now on And we know relatively little of him as leader of his party of the disciple and loyalty he will be able to inspire of the policy he will be able to devise and under conditions of pressure of the appeal he will project to the public 2mmmammsa Lllrcsfifu nion there is too much of it on television But she was cer tainly right in pointing out censorship is not the answer And recommendations for more bureaucratic control over all the media would be bound to bring justified ob jections Freedom of the press and of expression has been basic tradition which has long distinguished democracy from dictatorship There should be no need to stress in this enlightened age the sacrifices of history in defence of Freedom and the democratic way of life over the abuses of dictatorship in ordinary rights The communications minister was right in saying that broadcasters have responsibility to look into the kind of programs they present For that matter so have writers to be fair and impartial in their news reports which is often not easy when there are wide divisions of views on subjects covered But the weakness of state controlled media in democratic society should be too obvious to need any em phasis Mrs Sauve was right when she commented never suggested there should be any kind of censorship because such radical measure would be repugnant to the population Classification of programs so parents and children would know what to expect was suggested as reasonable alternative Mrs Sauve is currently awaiting special report on the CBC from the Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications commission Her conclusion that classification is preferable to outright censorship is certainly logical Basic freedom Dear Sir In Apnl my book entitled bilinguaFrench tomorrow was published by the small but courageous firm BMG Publishing Limited 60A Industrial

that conversation there is no doubt in my mind that every imaginable form of pressure will be brought to bear on storeowners and managers across Canada to prevent my book getting to the Canadian public During my 28 years in Canadas Armed Forces firmly beleived that Canada stood for freedom of speech including the right to dissent Under Mr Trudeau am no longer sure In view of the threat of suppression made against my book would appreciate an op portunity to ask those Canadians who still value their personal freedom to drop into their local book stores or book counters to determine for themselves whether this sup pression has been put into effect If it has would ask that they object strenuously for their freedom to dissent is as threatened as mine Yours sincerely letters to the

tax will throw good many people out of work and you can imagine what it will cost to have them unemployed as opposed to the present situation where they are working and paying taxes Besides if the government wanted to start somewhere why didnt they spread the load by taxing nonreturnable whisky and wine bottles that are sold through government stores Why sock it to the kids who buy soft drinks And how about this for 2i rip off The Ministry of the Environment told us we had to get rid of the pull tabs because they were litter problem Our industry agreed and spent millions on new equipment Now the govern ment comes along and says too bad fellows pull tab What about the high cost of collecting gar bage the cost per ton in large municipalities in $30 ton Thats about one tenth of cent per can What possible reason is there for charg ing cents per can tax or fifty times the cost of collection and disposal It was our imprcs sion that the government was sold on Resource Recovery otherwise why are they offering all this financial assistance to cities to build plants In fact theyre even building an experimental plant to improve the tech nology of recovery in Toronto Empty cans are the easiest time to cxtract from garbage too they already have systems to do it in Hamilton St CillhilllntS and zit the big Ber mondscy plant in Toronto We have to save energy Who says that there will be

Service In the light of the statement by Solicitor General Francis Fox about the illegal break in by senior police officers in Montreal Prime Minister Trudeau should insist on an immediate frederal inquiry The current Quebec investigation wont an swer all the intriguing political questions be cause it will not extend to Ottawas ministerial offices And there are just too many leftover confusions conflicts and ap parent lapses in memory to be left ignored It was small wonder that Fox had terrible day last week when he had to at tempt full explanation of the events which fix followed the Oct 1972 breakin And it probably didnt help to have former solicitor general JeanPierre Goyer one of the prin cipals in the controversy off touring Africa while Fox faced skeptical House of Com mons Just quick review of events On Oct 1972 three police officers from the RCMP the Quebec Provincial Police and thc Mon treal Municipal Police broke into offices without search warrant and took away number of documents The offices were shared by two alleged leftwing organizations Three days later one of the organizations lAgcnce dc Presse Libre du Quebec scnt let ters to Goyer and Quebec Justice Minister Federal inquiry is needed to clear up illegal raid Jerome Choquctte asking whether policemen were involved in the breakin QUEBEC DENIAL Another three days later Choquette issued statement denying any involvement by police officers And week or two after this the RCMP recommended that the letter to Goyer not even be acknowledged This seems bit strange But there is no evidence that the recommendation ever became matter for serious discussion bet ween senior RCMP officials and Goyer These men met on N0v6 and according to Fox it would seem from the agenda of the minister that the letter would have been discussed Knowles gram Barrie alderman to become ramblings By BILL KNOWLES As newcomer to this page and to this nist also For those of you who may not have read my ramblings in the past try to

trap of sudden success for fresh man leadcr is case of swollen hat size It can turn the public off perhaps quicker than anything In this case one would say such probably will not be danger Smith gives the im pression of one who weighs his weaknesses along with his strengths and keeps his balan ce Another personal question mark is whether he will be able to keep himself under control One of his shortcomings as he himself will admit is tendency to be quick on the trig ger However since taking on the party leader ship he has curbed this well Again we have to know about his knowledge of provincial affairs in breadth This is an area in which with his relatively short ex perience he is naturally suspect In his favor is that to date he has shown he is quite quick study NEW DAY Of what he has been able to show us until now probably the biggest thing going for him is his thinking and his approach In neither has he been limited by the old hidcbound orthodoxies As an example he was not afraid to propose that spending and tax increases would be held down to antiinflation board limits thinker bound by the orthodoxies of the past would have first looked to the mechanics and the problems involved and never would have made the proposal Again it has been noticeable that Smith has not indulged in the wordy speeches full of If am say so and other meaningless nicetics that have been the rule of the past His style has been to say something free of useless adornment and it has been welcome Maybe we have new day politician We will sec Bridge once was famous By BOB BOWMAN
