And up until recently, the two major parties could not make up their minds about nuclear weapons for Canadiâ€" an troops.

This catalogue of hypocrisy may apply to the general public as well. But probably not. Choices, ‘well â€" defined choices, bave not been offered the Canadain public in recent vears and nowhere has this lack of leadership been more evident than in the field of defence. Now, however, the situaâ€" Lion has changed. Liberal Leader Lester Pearson, a hoiâ€" der of the Nobel Peace Prize, has moved into the void and pledged his party to the acâ€" cepiance of nuclear weapons at home and abroad to the exâ€" tent that this is dictated ny present _ Canadian _ commitâ€" ments.

Mr. Pearson‘s decision, right or wrong, is one of imâ€" mense significance for Canaâ€" da. Its effect must be to force long overdue decisions on deâ€" fence, not only by the Govâ€" ernment but by the voters. Militarily, if Mr. Pearson‘s Party wins power and his deâ€" cision â€" is _ implemented, | it means the biggest increase in firepower in Canada‘s history. It is thus not surprising that newspaper headlines dealt with the decision to accept nuclear arms,. But Pearson made it clear that this is not the essence of the Liberal position, Pearson actually said little about the military value of Canada having nuâ€" clear arms or of its present role whHich requires them. in fact, the Liberals have strongâ€" ly criticized the present Caâ€" nadian role and the acquisiâ€" tion of American weapons such as the Bomare. There is nothing#n the Pearson speech to suggest any change of the Liberal views on this. More than half his speech dealt with the Canadian deâ€" fence commitment. What he was in fact telling Canacians is that the test of Canadian defence policy is not the miliâ€" tary eifectiveness of particuâ€" lar weapons as such, or the present or absence of nuglear weapons, â€" as â€" such, . though there is little doubt he thinks the present defence policy to be militarily ineffective to a large degree and the absence of nuclear weapons in Canaâ€" dian hands desirable, although perhaps not po)exblc, if we stay He is saying thal\Canada is not a free Sovereign\pation in defence, that it ham freely made commitments in WATO and NORAD, that our Xeal defence rests not on our w&â€" pons but with our alliance and that our defence policy must look to the strengthenâ€" ing of our alliances by assumâ€" ing our share of the burdenâ€" something Pearson holds to be impossible if we ourselves unilaterally _ reject _ commitâ€" ments which we have in subâ€" stance if not in form accepted. sees it, is for Canada to take NATO seriously by living up to it« own commitments, and that it is only when Canad& in NATO X‘j!- rl-&:. iT MAPPENS g EVERY VAY 5 Ag BOSS IN HIS HOME â€"â€" Recent columns have had discussion rcgardin; the question of whether man has abdicated his traditional role as head of the house.

EOnino mt sem ie oi esns s I U This question has been a subject of much heated argument and tears around our house ever since the 19â€" yearâ€"old was 17 or thereabouts. I say the boyâ€"friend of the 17â€"yearâ€"old should be out of the house by 11:05, and the boyâ€"friend of the 19â€"yearâ€"old should be out of the house by 12:05 a.m. at the latest. The girls‘ mother agrees with me but she doesn‘t count as I am the one who makes the rules and sees they are obeyed. Both girls say I am unfair and oldâ€"fashioned and stubborn and so forth. They say I am treating them like kids and embarrassing and humiliating them in front of their boyâ€"friends when I give the "time" signal;â€" i “"I“i;is"slig_t;;i"ivs_awfi;ii (an outside phone bell is what it is intended for), which I have placed behind the chesterâ€" fleld and connected with a button beside our bed upsgaiu.

But now I can go to bed and read. or set the alarm and sleep, then just push the button and that bell (which is kind of loud, I‘ll admit) gets the boyâ€"friend on his way. In answer to my daughters‘ accusations I say: No fellow who is worth a hoot will think any the less of a girl because her father sets those goâ€"home times.
