Fhe Oshawa Times Published by Canadion Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Monday, June 13, 1960 Back-Door Censorship In Mr. Roberts' Review When is a censor not a censor? One recent and surprising answer is that even if a censor is functioning as a aensor, he isn't a censor if he is a mem- ber of a panel of "experts." At least that seems to be the defini- tion offered by Ontario's Attorney Gen- eral Roberts. He has set up a four-man panel to review any book or magazine found objectionable by any member of the public. If the members of the panel eonclude that in their interpretation of the Criminal Code the publication obscene, the Attorney General expects that the distributors of the. publication is will withdraw it from sale without fur- ther ado. The Attorney adds that if the book or magazine is not withdrawn, or if some member of the public does General not agree with the panel's decision, any member of the public may initiate court proceedings under the indecent litera- ture section of the Criminal Code. All rather fluffy way of applying eensorship, and a pretty indirect way of applying the law con- cerning obscene literature. this seems a In fairness it should be recorded that the four men who have agreed to serve on the panel -- a professor of English literature, a sociologist on the staff of a psychiatric hospital, a chief librarian of a fair-sized city, and .a lawyer from a farm-community town all have expressed personal opposition to censor ship. That being the case, however, it is likely that the panel will spend most of its time in fruitless correspondence with cranks. The Attorney General appears to wews rem: SAY LAA. OFFICIALDOM 15 A BIT IN THE DARK ABOUT CANADA think that his panel ean serve the public y by offering a decision on the question of what printed matter comes within the provision the "The panel of experts," he says, to help the public clarify its own opinion obscenity of law. "exists merely on what is objectionable material. Only if the public-provides them with material will they be able to function." Even if it is admitted that some obscene litera- ture is published .and that obscenity is difficult to establish in law, the at- torney-general's own staff would seem best qualified to decide when a charge might succeed mm court. It is bad business for any government to'establish a board that has even limited authority to remove books or magazines from eirculation, even by consent. The law provids against the publication and If it lawyers distribution of obscene matter. is an unworkable statute, the should go back at it and make it work- able. And it that the less censorship better remains sound principle there is, the off the nation is. Dr. Banda's Orientation Nothing Dr. Hastings Banda said at the National Press Club in Washington last month was as strikingly significant as the African leader's presence as a in Washington; the Washington Post remarks. Less than a month ago, Dr. Nyasaland for allegedly inciting violent opposition to his territory's enforced membership the Central African Federation. Dr. Banda wants self-govern- guest Banda was languishing in jail in mn ment for the three million Africans in a' protectorate containing only about 8,000 Europeans And he hopes to sever the bonds now uniting Nyasaland and Northern Rhodesia with a government in Southern Rhodesia which professes "racial partnership" but in fact elings to an essentially segregationist policy. In October talks will begin in London «on the Federation's future Dr. Banda, who has a reputation as something of a firebrand and a discorfcerting tendency to equate his own views with "my" people, may not have a realistic answer. But whatever the solution, Dr. Banda's repeated praise of British Colonial Tain Macleod is a welcome sign that a re- servoir of mutual trust and communica- tion still exists between white and 'black in this part of Africa. British eolonial policy has received few greater eompli- ments than Dr. Banda's assertion that-- if he had to choose between empires -- he would prefer British rule, all. One anecdote jails and illustrates the point. Last summer the Economist of London published several articles on the thesis advanced by Prof. W. W. Rostow of the Massachusetts Institute of Techno- logy concerning five stages of national economic growth. Dr. Banda wrote to Professor Rostow from prison extolling the usefulness of the thesis as a measur- ing-rod for newly developing countries-- and when the tiny handwriting on the single sheet was typed it eame to seven single-spaced pages. The fact that he looked to the Economist, Pravda, for the basic orientation of Dr. not light says a good deal about Banda. . Discrimination In Canada Canadians who become indignant over the way non-whites are treated have been advised to take a good look at themselves before going off the deep end. : The advice was given Rt. Rev. Walter E. Bagnall, Bishop of Niagara and former rector of St. John's Anglican "Church, Preston. Speaking at the open- "ing of the 86th annual synod of the Anglican diocese of Niagara, he said that Canadians ought first to examine cerefully before casting the apartheid by themselves opinions on current policies in South Africa. "Who the bisnop asked, "that we are entirely free of any spirit superiority can say." of racial and social in our "own. midst?"
