Constructive Criticism A Necessity

ac

~ Commenting on debate in ¢ in current ses-
sion of Parliament, The Ottawa Journal rightly
notes that much of the time of honorable
members has been taken up with futile ap-
peal to the record of the past, and with leng-
thy quotations of what was said either by the
Liberals when they were in power or by the
Conservatives when they constituted the of-
ficial Opposition,

Most people will agree with The Ottawa
Journal's observation that “the past should
not be allowed to become a dead hand upon
the present...
stances must be allowed to bring new illum
inotions and changes of posture without con-
stant harassment.”

«True function of ¢ Opposition in’ Parlia- |

ment is’to offer constructive criticism of pol-
icies advocated by the Government of the day.
Opposition leadéy Pearson should find no
grave difficulty in discharging his duties in
this regard. For while there is much that is
good in the policies of the present Govern:
ment, Prime Minister Diefenbaker himself
would be the first to assert that constructive
criticism of Government policy was one of tha
true and funndamental functions of Parlia-
ment. Pi ion with old ions from

TRUTH
Truth is a shining virtue
About which poets sing,

Yet it sométimes can be deadlier
‘Than the adder's poisonous sting.

Truth Is brighter than the sun

Whose brilliance hever. ends,

Yet the one who always tells the truth
|s often without friends.

Truth which should be erystal clear

Is clouded with hypocrisy,

When downright, common, whopping lies
Are labelled as diplomacy.

It seems there is but one recourse;
(Though | have yet to try it)

When pressed upon to speak the truth —
it's much safer to keep quiet! .

When various forms of compulsory mar-
keting-were being promoted in the west, those
in favor of such plans frequently quoted the
Ontario hog marketing scheme as a'sample of
the success of such things. Western farmers
who rejected compulsion will read with inter-
est the findings of Chief Justice J. C. Mc-
Reur of Ontario's Supreme Court.

Not only did the court declare the last

.vote, which approved compulsory marketing,
to be null and void; it had some sharp criti-
cism of the manner ih which the Board used
‘its wide, serious powers in an off-hand way
with hog producers.
. Indeed, the Chief Justice thought the
Marketing Board scheme was pretty poorly
handled, and the way the regulatiors were
formulated was confusing beyond his com-
prehension, When requested to present min-
utes of Board'meetings to show when and how
the vote was planned or the regulations in-
treduced, Board's counsel could not or would
not do so," zt

At oné point: the Chief Justice described
the whole procedure. followed by the Board as
“so frightiully confused, so steeped in ‘rregu-

larity.” ‘He ‘commented, “We are dealing

with very fundamental human rights handled

in on off-hand way.”

Because of all this, some 600 hog pro-|ing the bounds’ of nests and

“HOW LOYAL ARE YOU?

The Sunday prior to Easter is observed
in our churches as Palm Sunday in memory
of the Triumphal Entry of Christ into Jerusa-
lem. It is so cafled because of the palm bran-
ches which the multitudes spread upon the
ground in front of Christ-as He made His way
to the Holy City: Thus the multitudes wel-
comed Him as their King as they joyously
song, “Blessed is the king that cometh in the
name of the Lord.”

However, this outward display of loyalty
to the One they claimed as their king was
shallow and short-lived. In fess than a week
they had completely forsaken Him, and per-
haps some had even joined the ranks of His
revilers, taunting Him as He hung in agony
on the cross.

We condemn such fickle loyalty, but i

our devotion to Christ any better? How many| - u
there are who confess Christ as their Saviour] Pacific Air Lines is at war with
and Lord, join His Church, and pledge their | Kipling’s ghost — and GP.A. is

loyalty to Him, yet who are never. ‘seen jn
Church except at Christmas and Easter. Christ
loved the church and gave His life for if. Why
not make this Palm Sunday a day of‘re-dedi-
cation unto .Christ by determining to be truly
loyal to Him by. worshipping: in .God’s House
on Easter and every Lord's day?

During’ this season, some of you will be
receiving Christ as your Saviour and joining
His Church:' May your loyalty, unlike that of
the fickle «multitudes, be the deep, devoted
and permanent loyalty of a true disciple of
Christ.
