aribihi at mutchs smoke una shot 10 male st sees open dailj t 11 pa monuments on monday april 6th hallon s federal member of parliament sandy best made alengthy speech in parliamcntvin which he urged formation of government com nuue to studyprganizauon of scientific research land pointed out the need for increased government sad in the research field the first part of mr best s spee is reproduced below and will be continued in the next issue of the herald mr speaker i am very happy to support the resolution of the horn member for lambton west sir murphy to my mind this ts one of the most important reso lutions which could be placed be fore the house the whole sub ject with which it deals in rather large and general terms is to ray mind again one field which per haps has more potential for con tribution by this government and by the actions of such a commit tee than almost any other field that we could investigate and cm bark upon of course a resolution of this lype and nature has been before he house for several years and i feel that every member in the must congratulate the hon r for lambton west on his wjereol and tenacity in pursuing this subject it is one which is controversial only to a degree i would uq to the extent one ear ner out investigations into res earch itself or the extent of gov nenl aid to research we can uu generally m the speeches that have gone immediately before from the hon member forr bur nburgeo mr carter and the hon member for assiniboia mr argue i would just comment however that the hon member for bunnburgeo in his remarks with which i would generally agree was negative the tenor of his- re marks was negative he said he could not see how this committee could possibly do any harm that ought be true but i think it is a rather negative observation on the tremendous need we have in canada to study and to accelerate this whole process of research 1 would also add that several of our present cabinet ministers have spokennm this resolution in the past and supported it activel i would strong urge that action on this committee be taken and hat the government set it up as eanonablx soon as possible there u a counterpart of this commit ee in great britain there thev have a very interesting committee which has had a most useful cf 1 feet over the last few cars it is called the parliamentary and scien ufic committee i the first one was founded in 1939 and it included members of all parties of the house of com j mens of great britain it re placed at that time the former par iiamenlarv science committee the present ommittee in great britain is one of a number of informal parliamentary groups incidental 1 membership is open to mt n ixr of parliament and nominau 1 cprcacntati es from various other institution such as universties and other non profit institutions this aniing committee actin as it doe on a regular basis pro vides an interchange of most i n pattan information a constant in terchange of information between those trained scientists and the members of parliament or those people in other words who are legislating upon matters which must inevitably affect the growth of scicnafic progress in an coun try this is something which i bel eve ts called for here although the structure of our committee might be somewhat different it is something that we very much need in canada and it is something which this resolution calls for i think the need for research in can ada is unquestioned we have a history of research going back ma ny years but it has been the ex penence of all countries of the world that almost inevitably gov ernments either federal or provin cut as we have them in canada haw had an ever increasing part to play in the fostering and advanc ingof research in the general sense of scientific and fundamental social research it has been the feelmgthat these are fields which it has not appeared wise to leave entirely to industry or to universities they are fields which need some coordination in research and in many instances it comes down to matters of finance from governments i think that ts particularly true in canada today we are a small nation of some vj million people we are a trading nation tremendously dependent upon export and we are a nation facing the problem as the hon member for lambton west men of productivity and ever costs and the problems of competition competition within xorth america and competition all around the world this puts a premium on research in canada we do not have thr internal markets which ma ny n such as the united sta for instance have and whach cushion them somewhat ag aims costs all of which creates a need for greater ingenuity with to produce industrial prod this ot course is just one rujmft of fundamental research and applied research and the ef feet which it must have on each and every one of us in the prod ucts we buy and their relative costs because of tho position in which wo now find ourselves can ada should probably be in the very forefront of research expenditure on a per capita basis probably there should be a premium placed on our ability in canada today to use our ingenuity our research establishments and our brain power to make up for the prob lems we have in a widely scatter ed population and the heavy costs which they generally incur we have as well the tremen dous defence problems with which the free world and we in north america are faced these problems of defence are dependent of course partially upon scicntifir research we have our own del enec research board of course this is a fundamental problem and one which is t pical today we have seen of course in the last two or three ean particu larly that defence can shade al most imperceptiblj into economic defence as well in other words defence research ma be connect id partiall with producing prod nets in a more imaginative fashion and at lower costs to compete in the economic structure which vu are facing more and more in this world and which is allied to our military defence problem the th eat that we have been facing from russia are a culmination of those two facts with the problem of economic defence or offence thereby causing our research inter ests to come to the forefront more and more in the last two or three years this committee would be a tre mendousl important thing in ca nada it could gather together from all across our land leaders in the scientific world leaders in industrial research people from various government departments many of whom are now engaged in fundamental and applied res earch and i think perhaps most important of all leaders from our universities across canada tho t institutions which to m mind must be the bulwark and the foun dation of fundaments research in this countrj we have faced in canada thi growing need for additional res carch and we have betti feelin our waj so to speak into the in terrelationship between the var mus parties involved in this pro le n bj interrelationship of course i mean our federal and provincial governments our var ious educational institutions our industries and other groups of that nature i should like to treat this interrelationship as a part of the problem which this committee if set up would stud because while i feel that financial aid is of course a most important neces sit on the part of the federal g vernment and i think that can onh be carried out as a result of con current s u iks of the intcrrcla lionship of our various r search ron zations the are comph thcv have grovn gradual a i natural with a small countrv bit thi have now increased to a fa size and cumplexit and perhap there are changes to be ma ie wl ch might be of freat advant age before the first vorld war can ada was engaged in a ver modcr ate amount of research in variou places e were then and are still to a certain extent a countrv of tremendous natural resources and the problems then were more lhose in olving engineering ad vances transportation power and utilities the focus was more on moulding our vast raw resources into j coherent whole which could make this countrj particular in view of our emphasis on our north country faced with the problem of the heavy structural intergra uon of canada as a whole the first world war brought up a number of interesting matters and one might say that it more or less started the canadian govern ment on the road to its role in research this came about in 1916 i believe when the canadian go vernment and the government of great britain incidental 1 set up very similar groups to study res earch in their respective countries at that time the canadian gov ernment created a cabinet commit tee of six ministers and on their recommendation an honorary ad visory council for scientific and industrial research was establish ed front that we have seen the rise of the present national res earch council the background of development in great britain is rather inter esting it came about partial because of the tremendous tndus trial surge of germany the gov ernment of that country having taken a vry active part in foster ing research before the first world war in great britain this had been done to a limited extent but research had largely been in the field of the various learned socie ties such as the royal societ and the royal institute of london the german government however pla yed a very active part and the re sults of its active participation in research were reflected in german industry we saw there at that time a very rapid technological buildup to be continued police news by ignorance we mistake and by mistakes we learn- english proverb in the past few weeks we have had complaints from citizens of this town of youths standing on the street corners in groups and on the sidewalks in general also block ing the entrance to stores and the like on this main street of ours the police department brings it to the attention of the parents and the youths concerned that the cul prits can be charged for loitering and refusal to do so can result in being charged with obstructing the police also complaints of fould language being used while so being in these groups we ask the parents and youths for your cooperation in this matter we also bring to the attention of the parents of the teenagers buying used cars some of these are not roadworthy due to defec tive brakes mufflers steering me chanism and defective lights a lot of unnecessary noise is caused by these mufflers and squealing of tires which is governed by the highway traffic act also unsafe vehicles which will be ordered off the highways until a certificate of mechanical fitness is produced jm1 they be allowed back on w also bnnj to our attention that careless driving is back into the highway traffic act section 29 1 the discharge of firearms in the town limits of georgetown is as we all know prohibited this includes air rifles and pistols by juveniles it only takes one little b b slug for she loss of one eye perhaps due to ignorance parents are responsible for any damage done by juveniles such as broken windows damage to trees and to new construction
