Bobbing Up By DOUGLAS HOW Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, June 2 (CP)--Possibility that if action followed a sharp call for compulsory military training in the United States it might lead Canada into a. political issue which she so far has managed to avoid in time of peace, With Britain already committed to compulsory peacetime training for her youth, the Canadian gov- ernment was expected to take con- siderable notice of news headlines which reported that a U.S. Presi- dential commission had strongly advised the launching of a $1,750,- 000,000-a-year system of university military training for 18-year-olds. If both the military giants to which she is tied come out for the measure, Canada, too, might well have to give it™ ample considera- tion, But it is the sort of thing that will have to jell for a while before it reaches any advanced develop- ment. Defence Minister Claxton, for instance, told a reporter he had read the news stories but declined to comment. - "That would involve a somewhat delicate political problem in this country" the reporter suggested. Mr. Claxton merely chuckled. Against it in Canada are a num- ber of factors, including an estim- ated cost of 'nearly $200,000,000 & year to get it started, a traditional antipathy to the peacetime mili- tary, and the feeling that it would take important time out of the lives of young men, Such an issue, if stirred to life, might also arouse the feelings which led Canada to try to fight a major war without overseas con- scription until circumstances forc- ed her into it. It is expected the present Liberal government, with Quebec as its electoral bulwark, would take generous samples of Committees of W.I1. At Hampton Are Appointed M.

His papers may include a secret report from a British ambassador, a memorandum on the miners' re- action to nationalization of the coalfields and a survey of Britains new satellite town plan. Presently he rings for his secre- tary and the long morning routine is under way. It ends before lunch when, perhaps, a new ambassador comes to present his "letters of credence," a new bishop to do hom- age on bended knee before the se- cular head of the established church--or an outgoing Governor- General to have audience and stay to lunch. Almost every day the King and Queen lunch together, usually with the princesses and over lunch the family discuss their plans, arrange theatre parties or dances, talk over the coming week-end at the Royal lodge and chat of everyday affairs, After lunch the King likes to stroll in the palace gardens, some= times with the princesses, some- times alone. Then he returns to Being Head of Empire A Tiring, Exacting Task his desk until late afternoon. Tea is another family gathering, after which there is usually a final audience the King must give to the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secre- tary or some 'other highly placed member of the government. Between then and dinner, he sits at his desk tidying up odds and ends. Often it is 7:30 before he has finished. Dinner is at eight and there is just time for the King to bathe and dress before joining the Queen and princesses for what they regard as the pleasantest part of the day. After dinner the Royal Family relaxes. Even then the King is not off duty, At any moment there may be a telephone call from Whitehall or a government messen= ger may come to the palace with urgent dispatches which the King must see at once.

"Applications are on file, some of them for years past, and have simply not been acted upon," said . | the Association's brief. "It is significant, that television and facsimile development has lag- ged in Canada," the brief added. "Experimental stations using both of these new broadcasting develop- ments have existed for some time in the United States. "Indeed, they are past the stage of experiment and well 'into the state of daily use. "CBC is not even yet operating one experimental television or fac- simile station.

No one government is to blame for "the confusion. It is simply that Canada's radio laws have not kept pace with the rapid growth of radio: Radio broadcasting in Canada is still struggling along under the laws drafted when radio was merely a hobby in a few homes, To-day these 'ox-cart' laws are serious handicaps to those who are doing their utmost to bring you the very best radio programs: For example; according to Canadian radio law, there is no legal right to free speech on the air. Whatever gov- ernment is in power has dictatorial authority to seize and Canadian broadcasting is every radio listener's business --it is your business. The Independent Commercial Radio Stations in Canada believe that all radio listeners will take a lively interest in the proposal that Canada's radio laws should be overhauled and brought up to date; operate any broadcasting station.
