The Two-Edged Sword

Jakarta Press

JAKARTA (Reuters) — A mil-
itary commander announced Friday
that only newspapers supporting the
i

Pol
will be allowed to continue publica-
tion in Jakarta,

Capt. Eddy Djadjang, spokesman
for ‘the Jakarta garrison command,
sald all newspapers in future would
have to obtain licences: and would
have to agree to follow the “guiding
line” laid down by the Jakarta war

* administration.

Similarity of purpose behind the
above news items, which appeared in the
daily press on sucessive ‘days recently,
should give pause for thought on the part
of all Canadians who value the freedoms
we now possess:

Perhaps the 2,800,000 ‘citizens of
Jakarta, in far off Java,
going through the trials and tribulations
borne by our forefathers before they
achieved and bequeathed to us in trust
the freedoms we today enjoy—including
the benefits of a free press.

We would hardly expect, however,
that suppression of opinion either by
spoken or printed -word, would ever be
suggested on the convention floor of a

Hoover's Philosophy of the Late’ Life

‘On the eve of his 82nd birthday, Herbert Hoover,
still elbowing through the crammed agenda of a 12
hour workday, explained his philosophy of late life:
“There is.no joy to be had from retirement except
by some kind of, productive work. Otherwise, you

aiding a political party to power that party

called for—even: doubts that might -creep
into the col of labor publication:

The danger inherent ‘in suppressing
any one of the freedoms so dearly won in,
the past, but accepted so lightly today, is*
a two edged sword-whether wielded by a
military commander or through economic
boycott. The IWA convention is to be

It -was only to be aipaeted that the
majority of delegates attending the TWA
‘convention while strongly criticizing The
Province editorial policy (as that news-
paper itself-reported) declined to urge a
boycott of the newspaper. z

It will be recalled by Canadians pond-

A Capital Answer from Ganadaink

Canadaink, the house organ of the Canada Print-
ing Ink Co., quotes the student who, when asked to
define capital punishment, replied:

“Capital, punishment is when the government
taxes you to get capital. so that jt can go’ into ‘business

in. competition with you, and then taxes the profits on —

your business in order to pay its Josses.”

Pie in the Sky — Again

British Columbia’ 's 1960 campaign

and considerable public talk about educa-
tion, mostly costs. A great deal of it has

be redistributed. And inevitably, in this|

kind “of juggling tt the actual cost goes up.

been “‘pie in the sky,” .
ible because ‘the - ingredients have been
neither well chosen nor well blended.
We suggest several of the parties and
candidates were simply climbing on band-
ons, since tion have
become fashionable in sone circles, and
neglected.to check where the bandwagon
was going, or whether the electorate was
listening to the music.

financing of sata may | Say that the local
voice has already been minimized, that in
effect the state is already in control. This
may be so in certain measure, but remem-
ber that there is already a local voice, still
an opportunity to resist, and while ‘the
local voice continues the ‘public still has a
say and a share in education.

State control also threatens another

There has been much well-
criticism of education, both costs and
curriculum, in the last few years; a healthy
criticism seeking improvements. There
has also been a lot of senseless criticism
voiced simply because this appeared to be
the thing to do.

We rather suspect many politicians
saw the plethora of protests and ‘proposals
and grabbed at some of them because they
wanted to‘lead the band. They forgot that
the bandmaster must know his men and
their instruments, and that good. music
must have a good basis.

Education is like music in this respect:
It must have proper foundation; it must
be properly developed and managed; and
‘in the final accounting, the system rests
wholly. upon the performance of the in-
dividuals comprising the team.

We are confused by the juxtaposition
of promises to relieve the farmer of school
taxes on his land, and at the same time
take the “load” off the municipalities.

It’s a little too glib, in our view, to
say that the provincial government should
bear the whole cost. or that Ottawa should
share the cost. After all, these levels of
government’ are financed by taxes too,

go beyond the basic program . if they de-
sire to and are willing to pay for it: *

The present education finance setup
may need revision. One viewpoint is that
there is nothing wrong with the system,
but that its application-needs adjustment.
Another is that fundamental ‘charges are
required to,-achieve full equity in paying
for education. Still another is that the pre-
sent. system is good and views vary with
the individual:

This much is sure: no matter where
the tax cheque comes from, the real money
must come out of the public pocket.

So let us, not have “pie in the sky”.
Let us come down tovearth and keep both
feet planted firmly.

Let us remember the “orchestra” and
the*fact that its. performance always rests
upon the individual members; and_ that
symphonic harmony cannot result unless
all the musicians play together, as a team.
Nothing short of that will suffice.
