TUESDAY, APRIL 13, 1948 / 5 "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE. PAGE THREE Vote Out 40-Hour Work Week, Strike Injunction Issue ® ; Communists Seen ° , As Agitators For 'Rights'Bill Canada'Rights'Bi By D'Arcy O'Donnell or Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, April 13 (CP)--Members of the Commons fail- ed to agree yesterday on the need for a Canadian Bill of Rights. Progressive Conservative, C.C.F. and Liberal mem- bers argued that such a bill was essential. members and an Independent Liberal argued that "traitors" Social Credit and "dupes of Communists" were® the ones asking for the legislation. John Diefenbaker (PC -- Lake Centre), one of the first to ask for the incorporation of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution, renewed his plea and urged other steps for the safeguarding of Canadian freedoms. M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, said the rights of the individual should be uniform across Canada. All Can- adians wherever they live, should possess the same fundamental rights and the same freedoms. Rev. E. G. Hansell (SC--MacLeod) said the "clamor" for a Bill of Rights was inspired by Commun- ists. Little was heard of such legis- lation "until the freedom of Com- munists" appeared in jeopardy. He was supported in this view by Jean Francois Poullot (Ind L. -- Temis- couata). Once the debate is concluded members will turn to a C.C.F. mo. tion of non-confidence in the gov- ernment. The motion was moved last week when the government de- clined to delay enforcement of a 21-per.cent increase in freight rates. Acceptance of the motion may mean defeat of the government and the probability of an early general election. 'At the House opening, Labor Min- ister Mitchell announced the strike of officers of deep-sea ships had been ended on the East coast. He hoped the West coast tie.up would be settled by today. Trade Minister Howe said he did not think gasoline rationing would be necessary in Canada this year. He also reported that subventions paid on the movement of Nova Sco- boosted freight rates. Cites Exports Finance Minister Abbott said the U.S. plan for European recovery will enable Canada to continue a large volume of exports to Europe. It will not, however, mean an early easing of the import restrictions clamped on the country to save U.S. dollars. Transport Minister Chevrier tab- led the annual report of the Canad- ian National Railways. It showed that the company finished 1947 with a deficit of $15,885,000, compared with a deficit of $8,961,000 in 1946. Shortly after the debate on the bill of rights was resumed, Speaker Gaspard Fauteux ruled out of or- der an amendment moved Friday by Mr, Diefenbaker. The amend- ment, appended to the main mo- tion, called on the government to ask the Supreme Court of Canada to determine whether parliament has the power to pass a Bill of Rights. Dr. Fauteux based his decision on the ground that the amendment added nothing new to the powers of the committee. Following the decision, Stanley Knowles (CCF--Winnipeg North Centre) moved a second amend- Membership Drive Begin For Fourth Concert Series | Preparations got under way yes- not sure that they would be able to terday for the dourth season of Community Concerts in Oshawa as the annual "workers' dinner" marked the opening of the mem- bership campaign. More than 75 campaign workers were inspired to make the best artists available to the Oshawa audience by increasing the Com- munity Concert Association's membership as they heard from Albert F. Robinson, field represen- tative of Community Concerts Service, New York, and saw a mo- vie showing 'a number of the out= standing musicians at work. Mr. Robinson told his listeners that Community Concerts were mow being held in 915 cities in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Newfoundland and Cuba, the num- ber having more than doubled during the past two years. In St. John's, 'Newfoundland, for in- stance, it was necessary to hold each concert on three successive mights in order to accommodate the city's membership. Mr. Robinson attributed this ex- pansion to a growing awareness of the benefits of good music--not high-brow music but the kind that brings enjoyment. He pointed out that the quality of the concerts would derénd on. the membership in the local asso- ciation. He explained, however, that superior performances were alten given by artists who were less expensive only because they had not yet gained as widespread recognition as others: Relating a number of interesting sidelights on the experiences of different artists, Mr, Robinson told of a case in a New England town where Heifitz, the great violinist, was to appear. Owing to a severe snow storm only a few people were able to reach the theatre and Hel- fitz graciously consented to return two weeks hence to give the con- cert, The anouncement. was made but an elderly couple appeared back- stage unwilling to leave. They had driven to town by sleigh ang were | ment. It would give the committee power to recommend that the Su. preme Court state which questions of rights and freedoms fall within federal jurisdiction. Alternately, the committee could recommend that a draft bill of rights be submitted to the court for a ruling. Mr. Diefenbaker said the govern- ment should amend the Supreme Court of Canada Act so that any individual whose rights or freed- | oms were denied could have re-| course to the court. The act also | should be amended to prevent pro. | vinces and municipalities, from in- | terfering indirectly with rights | which they could not touch directly. Raps Libel Law Touching on freedom of the press, | Mr. Diefenbaker referred to the re- cent New Liberty case in Alberta. He urged Jsutice Minister Ilsley to ensure that never again would pub- lishers, writers or authors be sub. | jected to trial in a province other than that in which the alleged libel occurred. Mr. Coldwell said he agreed that the individual should have right of recourse to the courts when his freedoms were denied. However, many could not afford to fight a case in court. This was an inequa- lity that should be removed. i J. M. Macdonnell (PC--Muskoka | Ontario) asked the government to express its views on an internation- al bill of rights. He feared that without such a bill or without a strong international organization of some kind the world would face a third world war. He felt the world [had moved back into the dark ages tia coal will be increased to offset (as far as rights and freedoms were | concerned. David Croll (L--Toronto Spadi- na) said the need for a bill of rights is "overwhelmingly evident." At home and abroad men were being driven to "unreasonable and exces. sive acts." He mentioned the re- cent "undemocratic actions" of stu- dents at Windsor who wrecked the offices of the Labor-Progressive Party and injured some of fhe par. ty's members. If Canadians closed their eyes to what the students had don=, pos- sibly some a "little tougher" than the students might try similar ac- tion because "it is so easy to get! away with."
