We feel that this action is a step backwards. a reâ€" treat toward the smug and narrowâ€"minded "holierâ€"thanâ€"thou" attitude. The banning of the novel came at the insistence of Councillor James A. McConâ€" aghy, whose personal opinion of the book contained such phrases as "a filthy book . . . full of profane language and lewd sugâ€" gestions . ..". This unqualified opinion was. for reasons not made clear, readily accepted by Education Director Dalton A.

The people have been accessories after the fact of politics in which love of powâ€" er is greater than love of principle. and paitronage stands higher than patriotism. It is therefore reasonable to suspect that my publisher‘s effort to remove the tarnish from the word politics is galâ€" land but unavailing. unless the deeds of â€" government That it is so tused indicts, I believe, both the politician and the people of a democraâ€" tically governed country such as ours.

This is what the Scout movement does, through its leaders. In many parts of Canada, and this disâ€" trict is no exception, the Boy Scout moveâ€" ment is unable to function to full capacity for want of leaders.

How to bring this about is a real teaser, since as Lord Acton said all power corrupts, and even the relatively conâ€" strained power of responsible government corrupts around the edges, Thus the reaction to government oscillates beâ€" tween the shivering silence of the tyrannized and the jaded jeers of the democratically ruled.

Mr. Pearson will emphasize that the issues in the camâ€" paign are the need for a staâ€" ble parliament. the need for a decisive Government a n d the need for a purposeful Government with a definite program. He will stress the need to improve conditions at home and abroad. The Liberal program will be aimed at proâ€" ducing economic growth in Canada to bring about greater employment and job security. Mr. Diefenbaker on the other hand will campaign on what he calls "made in Caâ€" nada" policies. He will brand the Liberals with "Obstrucâ€" tion" in the House of Comâ€" mens.

So0cial Crediters were cockily confident they would win more seats in Queâ€" bec and pick up other seats in the West, The New Demoâ€" cratic Party hoped to at least double its numbers in Parliaâ€" ment. The Liberals are confident they will do better in Quebec this campaign because t hey are not underestimating the im pact of the Social Credit group. In the last election they did not realize until too late that they should have been fighting the Socreds in Quebec not the Conservatives. They will not make that misâ€" take twice. The Liberals also expect to do betier in the Prairies and, pick up seat in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Undoubtedly the Governâ€" ment‘s defence policy â€" or lack of policy â€" as emphasizâ€" ed by the resignation of its Minister of Defence Hon. Douglas Harkness will be an issue. The Social Credit group in English speaking Canada will denounce the Tories for having no nuclear warhead policy. But the Socreds in the rural areas of French speakâ€" ing Quebec will condemn the Liberals as "war mongers" for favouring the adoption of nuclear warheads for Canâ€" da‘s forces in NATO and NORAD It was being tagged as the "snowâ€"shoe" election. Because of the winter weather it will be hard slogging as well as hard slugging.
