L, Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1964----PAGE 6 . ; : . s ® ' & A ¥ ri Sentence Of Murderer Inspires Some Doubts 'There are two extremely distur- of parole. - McDonald was first charged with eapital murder, This was reduced to non-capital murder on the plea of the defence and with the approval the judge and the Crown, But killing was as vicious and as vable as any. It was not any oat for example, than the killing of a policeman by Ronald Turpin last year; yet Turpin was hanged, Certainly McDonald's pre- vious record did not recommend mercy; his criminal career goes back to 1983 and includes two con- victions for rape and one for shoot- ing a police officer, Why, then, does one murderer hang, and an- other live? Where is the rationale? We are not arguing in favor of capital punishment, We oppose it, But while we have our present laws, there should be some firmer stan- dard to support decisions govern- ing life and death, The judge who sentenced Mo- Donald said: "I shall do everything in my power to see to it that you remain in jail for the rest of your natural life, Because of your twisted and unnatural mentality I believe no child who ever came near you is enough to support the judge's statement, Unfortunately, it is poa- aible that McDonald could be free again after seven years in prison, The National Parole Board has wide powers to order the release of prisoners regardless of their record or the nature of their Crimea, It ean ignore the judge's recomren- dation, It couldn't happen in this case? Maybe, But Leopold Dion of Quebeo City, with a black record of sex crimes, was paroled from prison in September, 1962, Over the next few few months he murdered four amall boys, One cannot beiieve that the Parole Board had checked closely into Dion's record, because if they had, they, would have como across the recommendations of the judge who sentenced him to life im- prisonment for rape in 1940 that he never be released, never be con- sidered for parole; not only that -- Dion had been out on parole before and had been jailed again for a sex offence, We are not arguing against the principle of parole any more than against the abolition of capital punishment, But there are obviously some criminals who cannot be per- mitted their freedom; they are too dangerous to soviety, Dion was one, and McDonald is another, This type -of criminal should not be considered for parole under any circumstances -~ or at least until medical author- ities know a great deal more about mentality and the brain than they know now, The Parole Act must be amended to give society more pro- tection, Midine New Capiial Finance Minister Walter Gordon wants to increase Canadian owner- ship of Canadian business -- and @o do most other thinking Cana- But Mr, Gordon has decided go about it in a negative way, punishing foreign investors in- ' of encouraging domestic in- 3 this is what has brought him such a storm of criticism, He may well be injuring instead ef strengthening the Canadian economy, by restricting capital for basiness expansion, Canada needs that capital.

Tt is a mixed blessing, of course, but foreign investment has been sharply declining. Ottawa's in- creased witholding tax on foreign dividends has been one factor, and Washington's proposed tax penalty en foreign investments has been another.

It will not be easy for domestic sources to make up the shortage in capital supply left by the drop in foreign investment. A cut in cor poration tax rates would be a great help, but there is little immediate prospect of this in the face of con- tinuing federal deficits, It may be that industry could find a substantial part of the money it will need for expansion and modernization by fostering more investment of personal savings, particularly among those many thousands who normally are not direct investors. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics estimated total personal savings at $2.3 billion in 1962, and last year's total may be even higher. One technique for encouraging more individuals to directly invest in industry has been developed by the Consumers' Gas Company in Ontario. Recently announcing the need of $11 million of new capital to finance expanding services in southern Ontario, this company made it possible for the small investor, particularly among its thousands of customers, to partici- pate; offering bonds in denomina+ tions of $100 and $500, Normally, such debentures are sold in units of $1,000, Since this is the third such offering in three years by Consumers' Gas, it may be assumed that the response has been good, Other Editors' Views BUT INSIDE Winnipeg Tribune Odd thing about hospitals--the "Quiet Zone" signs are erected in the street outside rather than in- ~ side the building.
