THURSDAY, JULY 7TH, 1938 A Whale of a Lot of TaIk Eanly on July lst, the sessionss of thc Federal Parliaussezt came to a close, and as the Globe assd Mail says, "If as isot pr'o- ductive of assything very sp)ectacilar." About tise only prodtuctions tiaf it could boast of svas a wliole lot of talk. Oîs our desk iîs a eopy of Hausard. tise official re- port of bisose of Gomotnss debates. It is fthc second last oîse for tise session, and the lasf page is i5t51551et'd 4786, which w'ould suggy(esf a wisale of a lot of talk, for a min- imusm qtsaitity of useful legislatîoîs. Thsis everiastiîsg talk. aîsd jockeyiîsg for polif- ical positions at thc expeise of the faxpay- ers is doingv inucis f0 bring g-overninesits in Casnada iîto disrepute. The average voter has eiiotgh intelligence to know that legis- lation ike tisat passed in tlie session just losed could be accomplislied iin a lot less thais five nsostls, ansd wit nmuscli le-s~ idle falk. The Peterboro Examiner lias been run- ning a column durissg tise sessions in which appears fIe Hassard reports of some of tise debàtes. If you have ever stood iln a publie selool playgroussd and listened f0 dhildren argue, you will understand just liow some of flic discussion is carried on intheli House of Commons. Soune littie matter of tminor import brings on hours of debate, and a major matter slips through iin short order or is lield ov'cr for the next session. We wish wc liad tise space f0 publish some of f lis clap-trap duri.ng flic session. If would most ccrtainly bring ouf ais forcibly as any meailss.thle tremendous anlount of time wasfed in flic house in idle aisd non-profit- able debate. Find Another Loophole in Law *Someone lias said that laws are made to bc broken. Whether or not tliey are, most people seein f0 fînd a loophole in which to overcome atsy matter of iaw thcy see fit to flaunt. In Ontario there is a law forbid- ding flic advertising of liquor. It fisas been overcome lw the beer b)aronss by fleicnrser- tion of advertisitsg urgiîsg temperaîsce whicli also serves flic saune purposc of ad- vertising beer. One of tIc most flagrant manners ini whîch this thiîsg lias been car- ried on is secîs inTIc Canadiais Veferan, a brassd new paper publisîed in the interests of flic Canadian Corps Reussion which ineefs ils Toronto this moîsth. The business and editoriai offices of this paper are in Toronsto, but the paper is publishcd in Montreal, so tîat the law regardissg hliquor advertising autonmatically becomes-niusffec- tive. 1. fhis one issue, wvhidli lias ifs larg- est circulation in Ontario there are no lcss flian ten liquor advcrtiusements whicl about monopolizes thc pages. This is oniy one instance but tlere are scores of others. Ontario publications must not publisli liquor advertising, yet ail man- ner of periodicals from other provinces and from the United States flood this provinice bearing the liquor advertising. WhLcI ah goes f0 prove thaf if people don't want f0 keep thle laws, f hey will find a means, of circu.mventinc, them. Tlie chef danger as wc sce it is the gencral disrespect for law and order that mjust of nccessity f inally af- fect flic morale of flic countfry, unless some- thingy is donc about if. Laws arc made f0 be obscrved, and if tliey arc f00 easily flaunfed, there cornes in the wake a dis- respect for iaw as a wliole.
