DAW .«Mfm TEA ie11, ParDamnent Hill (Br C. E. Steplienzon, r".) Personfi rlghts and .Indiviluai li-berties which. Canadiane ,have fought two world wars to main- tain naw are W hbave an;,A<t -of Pailament to, make them legally secure. John G. Diefenbaker is the fath- er of the ides. Ever since the war ended the clear-thinking, brillaent- debating, reslistic, Progressi*e Conservative Parliamentarir for Lake Centre bas been Waoing what for many months was a, one- mani crusade for a bill of rights for Canadians which would niake' se- cure for them in peacetime the fréedoms for which they had fought In two wars. Publie opinion, once it becarne swskened ta thc proposai, snow- balled on a scale ta which politi- cal opinion couldn't remain indif- ferent. The result was that. a few days aga Diefenbaker had the- sat- isfaction which cames rarely toaa private member af Parlismnent- and much more rarely to a private member on the Opposition side ai the House-af seeing his brain- child appropriat&l by the gov- crnment, and made.the subject of a government resolution. A joint committee of thc Hause ai Commans and Senate Wata be set up ta consider and draft a bil along the lines ai the Diefenbak- er proposals. It is even hinted in government that the commitcee also may have reicrred ta it im- portant specific questions ai per- sonai and individual rights which the Diefenbaker principle raises. Thus it may be asked ta deter- mine whether the present require. ment oi a "fiat" or parm1sý1on from a. law officer ai the crown before an individual can sue a crown agency should be abalish- ed; also whether certain political doctrines subversive ta dem'oc- racy, such as Communism aftd Pascism should, be banned-by law; sîso whether the right oi appeals ta the Privy Council in civil 1aW cases should be maintained. In other words, Panliamentar- ian Diefenbaker bas apenýed uùp an entire new field ai legislatian, -and anc ai the. utmost practical importance ta the individuai cit- izen.- Diefenbaker made bis cloqunt piea in support ai bis "BuùLe ai Rights" proposal, against a back-a ground ai wartime bureaucracy which, in its maniiest reluctance to lay down its arbitrary authior- ity in peacetime, lent dramstic point ta bis remarks. In. the minds ai the members ai the Com- mons there were, toa, vivid mcm- arles ai the occasion a littie more than a year ago when Federai pol- ice officiaIs had descended, upon upwards af a dozen Canadian homes, forced. their way in and taken away their quarry ta boid them, incommunicado for close ta a fortnight, without benefit oi habeas corpus. Many oi those thus taken into irregular custody that night ultimateiy wcre acquit- ted in court ai any wrong doing. The final box score was: Out ai nineteen arrests, some made later and in leasabjectionable manner, eight acquittais. 1Diefenbaker demanded a statute ai. Parliament which would ;make illégal in. future any inininge- ment ai an individusi's fundamen- tai, liberties. His thesis was that every Iaw-abiding. Canadian bad thé right ta freedonioai religion, ta freedom irom-the threâts ai a police state, ta freedom. to live his own life within the linuts ai the Iaw without- discrimination based on race, colon, or. 'crced, ireedom ta belong ta an unpopuîar minonity, and, freedom ta appeal, ta the courts against the intrusions or invasions ai the state.. Canadians, 'Diefenbaker sum- med up, have the riglit not ta be depriveti ai lufe, liberty, or pro- perty without process*ai law, and the government, simply bec7ause it-may have a great majanity isn't entitled ta take away these sacred liberties. It was a great speech.; When the histaify ai the Canadlian con- stitution is written and the pas- sage ai the Bill ai Rights becomes recognîzed for the great mile- stone ai ireedom that it'wiil ctv>- Wo.d'a Sonate Open*s towaIT.urst Bureau Pcndlng marc pretentious ac- tion. by Uic Town Cauncil or Chasmber of Commerce, thc execu- tW#e officers ai Waod'a Senate crrléd a nxajorlty vote last Week ta' apen up a Tourlat- Bureau af their.awn.,.

D. -Howe, Minister af Supply._ We deem it a responsibility* ta put the case up to the public who S may be governed accordingly. On = May 28, Mr. Howe again issued a warning on fuel. His statement appears on page 3573 Hansard. Sô far as coal is concerned hej said there would be an ample sup- ply for the coming winter. ButM since coal control was discontin- ued Dec. 31, 1946, supply and dis-à tribution was riw in the hands of producers an distributors. Inà the case af coal he warned peopleN ta take delivery or place orders* promptly ta relieve later conges- tion. But in the matter af fuel ail he was emphatic that shott- à ages are iikely ta exist until 1949.
