duty and so generally anticipated that it can be a surprise to no one and least of all to premier aberhart and his government in deed if there is any justifiable criu clsm it is ol the delay there has been reaching the decision the two acts and with them the act to amend the limitation of actions act on which ottawa still reserves judg ment are so crude in their concep tlon and objectives so indecently arbitrary in their denial of the ele mentary rights or citizenship and so contemptuous of confederation as to imply that the people who would sur fer them were idiots in view or the discussion already given the legislation in these columns there is no need to recite again the iniquities which premier aberhart sought to pass off as social reforms the best view that could be taken or i little church the acta is that or barefaced conns cation but what makes them so crude and labels them as political racketeering of the first water is the fact that they were attempted in the full knowledge of their widespread injustices and unconstitutionality far from being the first legislation of the kind they are but a continua tlon of three years or it and their only distinction is that they are about the worst robbery mr aber hart has attempted that the alberta government was ignorant of the scope of the leglsla tlon can be judged from the reasons the minister of justice was able to cite as grounds for disallowance that it was unjust that it meant the confiscation or the savings of tens of thousands or canadian wage earners and would eventually- force private business out of the

been able to render miss b e hume on behalf of the teachers then presented miss ryan with a beautiful unen luncheon set and assured her that the members of the staff would always remember with pleasure the years they had taught right to i nder her direction indicated tawas action the cries of dlscrim nation the old talk of compelling the poor to pay tribute to the fin ancial barons wilt be revived in ah its bitterness but there is a slight difference in premier aberhart s posi tlon since the previous disallowance of his legislation having challenged the federal governments disallow he recently has acceptance of it by dropping his ap peal to the privy council against the supreme court ruling of last march in his opinion minister of justice la potnte made it clear that action was justified because of the obvious lola tlon of federal jurisdiction -vrtthtn- the definition of the blfa act unfortunately however disallow ance does nothing to clarify the ai berta scene it is clear or should be by this time that social credit can not be had within the framework of the constitution reasonably there fore mr aberhart and his govern ment could be expected to resign but as the legislation amply demonstrates alberta is not in ne control of reas enable men and any thought of its government doing the honorable thing can be discarded another course would be for him to r his policies and get back to sound business but this also requires him to admit the futility of what he has attempted even if he could do that it is questionable if he has not gone too far in dishonesty ever to regain public confidence the alternative is to go along for the rest or his term passing impossible legislation if this is to be the road and the record sug gests it is we suspect the gerat mass of the people or alberta will rule otherwise reprinted from the globe and mall of june 17th 1938 a censor is a man who knows more than he thinks other people ought toronto graphic arts assoc
