No, I -do not think young people should be wastrels, spending every last cent they earn on riotous living. I think i bank account and some in- surance is very necessary for everyone. However, I hate to see ob- viously talented young men burying themselves in dull jobs they don't like merely because there’s a good pension at 65. Time enough, when you're 40 to be thinking of 65; at age 25, age 65 should be so far off that it's not even visible, There's nothing ruins a young man's spark like worry over Ulness and old age. Sure I he- heve in precautions, in the nestegg for the inevitable rainy day, but let us not stifle Gur best years, What started me off on this Was tl | piece T read in the pap- ‘to the pioner days, ers about International Ki- wanis Clubs’ president Merle H. Tucker, who Said in Van- couver that young people are no longer interested in being the boss because theyre only interested in security. This is a great pity. There’s nothing wrong in having the ambition to want to be the boss, as long as the methods used are honest and you don't ride rough-shod over other people to get there, Mr. Tucker expressed some shock: “As an employer, I in- variably find that young peo- ple want to know about in- surance premiums, unem- ployment benefits, pension plans an dthe like. I’m con- cerned about it. It seems that socialism isn’t creeping any more, It’s running. We're de- pending too much on govern- ments to take care of us. I’m not suggesting that we go back because there are things that govern- ments must do. But when people have too much security they don’t feel ke working.” I think all this iF very true, The Board of Brondcaat Governors possibly does not coneelve it to be one of thelr Minetions ta teach manners to the advertising industry.

ZINK OTTAWA (TNS) — At the close ofa weeklong talkathon on why Parliament should have a special committee on- defense, two questions remain- ed hanging in mid-air: (1) Does Canada have a committee to accept atomic ammunition for her defense weapons? (2) Is there any valid rea- son for equipping our NATO ‘air division with nuclear bombs? Attempts to answer the first question in and out of Parlia~ ment solidified into a bone ‘of political contention between our two major parties. The Conservatives, who purchased the nuclear carriers, say there is no such commitment. The Liberals, who inherited the ammunition - less. weaporis, maintain that we are commit- ted to complete the deferise program undertaken by . the: Diefenbaker government. °" This is attested to by. the fact that the government aé- cepted nuclear roles in ‘NATO and NORAD. From the purely rormanistle and legalistic point of’ view, the Conservatives might have > a case in saying that a nuclear commitment in the form of a- signed contract does not exist. They admit having negotiated a bilateral agreement on nu- clea warheads with the United. States, but use their failure to conclude the negotiations as a. “proof” that no contractual commitment was made. The Liberal case rests on the overwhelming evidence of the. Diefenbaker government’s clear intent to bring the nuc- lear defense program to its logical completion. They did! not agree with this program, they say. But once the equip- ment was put into the hands of our forces and our allies were led to believe that Can- ada would play the nuclear role she voluntarily accepted in collective defense, it was in- conceivable not to honor our word, Whether or not the pledge exists in writing is im- material, . Diefenbaker The second question is a more serious one. Why, many thoughtful people ask in earn- est, should our NATO air di- vision be equipped with nuc- lear bombs when the defense of Western Europe is guaran- teed by the overwhelming U.S. deterrent? Military experts answer this question by pointing out the imbalance of conventional forces facing each other across the Iron Curtain. Since NATO appears to be unable to raise at least eight additional di- visions deemed necessary for European defense, the dis- parity in conventional strength has to be balanced by tactical nuclear weapons. In this sense the tactical nuclear force, of which our air division is an integral and important part, functions as a local deterrent. . Without its presence along the dividing line in Central Europe, the Communists might be tempted to foment what Mr. Khrushchev calls small “liber- ation wars” which do not “jus- tify” mutual annihilation. ; In this context the role -of the tactical nuclear force is to prevent limited aggression just as the main U.S. nuclear force is the only existing insurance -against a major conflagration in the present international ‘ circumstances. To cancel tac- tical nuclear weapons on both ‘sides would require a major western effort in the conven- tional field. It is thus essential for our government to equip the Can- adian air division in Europe for the role assigned to it by the administra tion within the framework of west- ern collection defense. Mr. Harkness is absolutely right when he says that the Liberals are merely completing a Con- servative (though no loner a Diefenbaker) defense pro- gram. gems of thought The merit of originality is not novelty; if is sincerity.—- Carlyle. Election campaigns may end on election day, but election speeches go on, and on, and on, This js especially true in the House of Commons where It js commonplace to fight the last election over again during the session immediately fol lowing the election, Diring the past week we fought the nuclear arms con= troversy to a stilemate, beat the defonee issue .to denth, and finally set up oa defence committee to study the mate ter, Prime Minister Pearson made his campaign speech ayy over again, Opposition leador Diefenbaker roared and waved his way through the Tory po- Aition on nuclear arms, Now Demoernutic leader Douglae spoke and spoke again, saying the same things he has so often sald before, Asn result.of many days of debate we costablishad a a4. member defence committee to study the question of eur de~ fence, call and hoar- witnesses, and come to same sonclusions about something, I am not sa thundorstruck by the estab. Nshinent of this committed aa others, for I don't have too much faith in what it might he able to diseover or accome plish beyond what is alveady public knowledira, In the first place, the com- uthat “omlitary witnesses 2 mittee will not be allowed to hear evidence on matters which ore termed “classified.” This means that some Infor- mation will he kept from the committee, and no one but the government will know whether information js really “olassified” or whether it is merely embarrassing to the ‘government. Inthe second place, our Ca- nadian parliamentary commit- tecs are falrly Incompetent, ‘for they are denied research faciiittes. NMonce, a milftary goneral with 30 yoars service, can ensily ive which cannot properly be In- sterpretoed without a great deal ‘of study. ‘By that timo the ‘general wil) have gone back ta his desk, In the third place we have no authority to call any U.S. and they nre the ones who are “calling ‘the shots” Jn the nuclenr arms controversy, ‘We cnn, therefore, look for- ward to having the defence ‘committien fight the election campaign aly over again fuat ‘an was-cdone during the pnst woek in the 'YWouse when the committees was approved.
