Liberals Walk Out When ,Farm Debate Opens Well In advance of the cpening cf the present session of the House cf Commons in - ~Ottawa, this paper camaeout f latly fer early con- sdrto f the developing situation which finds t arm experts falling and surplus food products piing up at home until a price break bas already set in. We took the stand that the farm ques- tion is the big issue at the moment, will be se in- the coming election, and should have right- of-way in the House.1 S.Last week wa pointed eut that the Throne Speech offered net a ray cf hope for farmers. In the debate which openad immediataly, the leader cf the opposition and Prime Minister St. Laurent, used up f iva heurs cf eratery with net ct single reference te farm preblems. Othar private members followed, including farmer 1. A. Ross et Manitoba, with net a word about the farmer. The debate was simpiy political jockey- .ing te place "quotes" on tha record. It remained for the C.C.F. leader te broach the tarm question. Ha was feilloed by the Social Credit leader. Each off ered their solutions which wa shall discuss later. At least they viawed the question as highly important, sought te capture the interest cf the House. But it re- rnained for Park Manross, Progressive Conser. vative, London, Ont., te peint eut hew Liberal members and the Liberal Ministry were con- cerned with harried farmers. Manross pointed across the floor te the Liberal seats te show the number who walked eut from that sida as the farm debate proceeded. The record as it appears in Hansard,,Page 102, discloses that only 18 percent of the total Liberal membership and enly 12 percent cf the Cabinet setup were in their places. Whan 82 and 68 per- cent thus take a wallc, farmers will surely take note the implication. Slandering Medical Profession Speaking on a CBC network pregram, Mr. Colin Cameren, a member of the CCF, quoted health figures released by the Bureau cf Statis- tics and said: "These show that the medicai pro- fession has made a shockingly peor job cf maintaining the health of the Canadian people." He went on te say that "Under private anterprise In medicine a doctor earns bis living eut ef sick people. The tewer sick people, the better for seciety, but the doctors make less.

(2) Secii Credit leader Low offered bis cure without ap- pending an amendment. Nothing cencrete came from the others. For the Libarals, the Speech From the Tbrone bcompietely ignored the develepirig agricultural criais. For the Pregressive Conservatives, John Diefenbaken, M.P., Saskatchewan, said: "The tima bas coee.for the Goernmant te tall us wbat it intands te do, and something sheuld ha dona NOWV" We egrea entirely, but out egree- ment wouid ha mucb more emphatic if the apokean bcd told WHAT ha would do, for bis -enterprise system cf medicine lives on alck people, it foilows that private enterprise in medicine must go by the board!' W. had heard that CCF Socialism was a cure-ail fer eur econornic ills, but this is the f irat time that we have learned that it will create a seciety in which there wlll be ne sick people. Mr. Cameron did net mention any thing about growing aid and dying, but the CCF medical experts are probably working on those problems. Best Possible Co-operation f or New Recreational Director Thanks te al.most unanimous support frem the Town Council and the Executiva of the Bowmanville Community Council, a new Re- creational Director bas been secured te carry on the splendid work organized by the towris first Director, Bart Smithson. In welcoming the new Director te Bowmanville in the person cf Vince Mathewson, The Statesman calsa for the boat possible co-oparatien te enabla him te carry forward and extend the pro&amme which lapsed fer a space following the resignation cf its f irst architact. With the new Memonial Arena opanad for aIl forma of public entartainmant the year round and the South Ward Park still available for public recreation, as well as the playgrounds at the public and high schools, it is hoped these will be utilized te the tullest extent for games that will satisfy the wants of youth as well as aIder groups et the tewn and indeed the sur- rounding district. The courtesy et the Lions Club in providing office spaca for the Directon and greup activities, bas been recognized in a fitting manner by the Town Council. The stage is al set for another year's fine programme of the Community Ceuncil. It is well to recall that this continuance came about by virtue et a municipal plebiscite in which the people of Bowmanville voted ever- whelmingly te provide the very smaîl amount cf money necessary te sustain this essential youth movement. The f ew whe were opposed, including oe membar et council, have flot made it dlean why they stand opposed to the welfare and natural desiras et the young people et the entire cemmunity. As a minority they must respect the wishas et the majority. U.S.A. Slams Door on Scores of Canadian Leftists A teature article in the Financial Post, Feb. 5, quotas extracts from the USA Immigration Law which forms the basis for the refusai et the USA government te permit scores et Canadian labor leaders te cross the border. Many have been barred for lite, the activities ot others, in- cluding their political affiliations are being constantly screened against the day tbey might appiy for a bprder cressing. The USA Law specificelly defines anarchists, communists, people whe advocate revolution to overthrow censtitutional government, or sabotage, damage or injury te or destruction et preperty, as pao- pie who won't ha permitted a border crossing. The story is accempanied hy pictures et a hait dozen laber leaders who hava been barred togethen witb the names of others denied entry. Several are CIO unienists. One is from Peterboro, anothen is identified with a CIO Bubben Work- ers' Union. When authenticated news like this is placed before the public, it naturaily brings inte question the bona fides et many other labor leaders. It aise intrudes the thought that the wedded trinity, CCL-CIO-CCF, may hava con- caaled in its ranks many others tee cautieus te permit their true celer. te ha shown. The smart- est communists are extremely caret ul people. The Canadien Government, as the Post article points eut, is net nearly as tough as the USA gevernment in dealing with leftist sabo- teurs. Ottawa was litenaily forced into the spy trials and bas neyer taken such severe measures as the USA about border cressings. Under sham political maneuverings the leftists have, fine ground in Canada te cultivate their sabotage, which in soe cases takes the form et attempts by way et boycott te "damnage, injure or destroy" long estabiished, legitimate property, sucb as, for instance, a free press.

Cost Liberals Sharp Defeat Speaking in the House on the Tbrone Speech debate, Progressive Conservative leader George Drew placed on the record soe startling asser- tiens made by two Liberals identitied with Ministenial positions under Prime Minister St. Laurent. The sttements were mae in connec- tien with the loss ef the by.election te the Pro- gressive Conservatives in Digby-Annapolis, NS, lest tail. The seat was formanly beld by ex-Fi- nance Minister Ilsley and was considered a Lib- anal strenghold.
