avoiding or resolving labor disputes.
It is a worthwhile proposal, because it
offers the possibility of finding ways
out of the frustrating maze in. which
management and labor now find them-
selves in many Canadian industries.
Management would he wise to jump
at the idea. .
Labor spokesmen have frequent]

charged that management has discour-
uved attempts by labor to create a bet-
ter climate of understanding for the
solution. of mutual problems — as we
recall, Mr. Jodoin himself has uttered
such complaints. And management
spokesmen have:said much the same
thing about Tabor. Now here is an op-
portunity ‘for ‘representatives of the
two sides’ to co-operate on a project
that. could be eminently fruitful.

jbor relations study proposal worth support

Reports coming to this country
from Western Europe and Scandinavia
tell of the apparent suecess of various
methods used in those countries to
settle points of dispute hetween labor
and management. It may be that the
methods would not be applicable here,
or that relations there are in fact not
so. harmonious as we imagine them to
be. But even if the reports have been.
exaggerated, the study proposed by
Mr. Jodoin could still be useful. At
least it should provide some fresh
ground for exploration of the prob-
lems of labor relations.

Such exploration is badly needed.
Traditional methods of handling dis-
putes are showing their age — they
are creaking, stiff at the joints and
have a distressing habit of collapsing.
Enlightened men in both management

and labor groups recognize this. What °

is needed is a concerted effort by both
sides either to pump new life into the
old methods or replace them with
more effective procedures.

—The Oshawa Times.

The least of many evils

One of the difficulties confronting the elec-
tors — and this is by no means a new one —
is the matter of distinguishing between the
party and the candidate.

This is a very real problem, for in large
measure it can be said that voting for a par-
ticular candidate is impossible, unless one. de-
cides to give support to.a person who has no
political affiliations whatever. The argument
nugvainst Chis latter course is that the truly inde-
pendent Member of Parliament can make very
little impression on the acts and proceedings of
the House.

Unfortunately, this. is. all too. true, and the
voters recognize the difficulty and decide on a
party candidate. As a result, the electors are
voting not so much for the individual as for
the party he represents, Such is the unhappy
state into which the nation’s political life has
fallen.

It is an unhappy situation, for it means
that the election takes on an extremely nega-
tive note. It is not a question of voting for the

best government, but rather of choosing he-
tween the least of two, three, four or more evils
This is inevitable, for the policies of the two
major parties are almost indistinguishable.
Both Tories and Whigs have mover far to the
left of centre, drawn perhaps by the extreme-
left. socialism proposed by the New Democratic
Party. While the Social Credit claims to be a
party of the right, it has some: queer provisions
in its platform that would also place it left of
centre. me, :

“What is lacking is a true conservative em-
phasis, something that will balanee-the liber~
alization which has swept through the country
since the middle 30s. And so long as this em-
phasis is lacking, it is inevitable that the voters’
decision must be a choice of the least of many
evils.

AS we say, it is an unhappy situation, but
at present we cannot see anything else in store
for the voters at the forthcoming election.

FAVORS CLEAN-LIVING, MOTHERHOOD

 

Modern spaceman shamed
by rum-soaked heroes of old

By LUCTUS BEEBE
In the San Francisco Chronicle

Unless all the signs prove
false,. the people of the United
States are in for the inspira-
tional brainwashing in favor
of clean living that accompan-
ies any national triumph in
any ficld of competitive en-
deavor, this time in the name
of Colonel John Glenn.

What must vastly amuse the
cynical observer of Americana
is the flood of hallelujahs that
Colonel] Glenn's space achieve-
ment must inevitably raise in
favor of baby, mother, the
flag, clean living, temperance
and the. inviolability of mar-
riage and the American home.

rk

TO HEAR TELL IT, COL-
one! Glenn is the super colos-"
sal exemplar of all the known
bourgeois - virtues, a faithful
family man, a non-drinker and
a churchgoer. -

He is also a father, a sort
of unearthly distinction which
marks a man for salvation all
by itself. If he ever had a night
out with the girls, got beaten
up im a call house brawl and
was brought home at dawn by
police, it isn’t going to be in-
cluded in the record now.

It wasn't always so with the
heroes of American folk leg-
end, Until comparatively re-
cently, when the Methodists
started remaking the image of
desirability, the men who al-
tracted worshipful attention to
themselves in’ the national
scheme of things were almost
inevitably men of bounce with
redeeming traces of low char-
acter about them.
