Does
It
Need
An
Inquest?
.
.
.
It
is
remarkable
that
some
one
has
not
been
killed
or
injured
by
the
service
trucks
that
go
careening
at
great
speed
around
the
corners
of
the
downtown
streets
these
days
regardless
of
the
right
side
of
the
road
and
the
silent
policemen
signs
that
they
are
supposed
to
round.
One
of
these
days
or
nights
soon
just
that
thing
is
going
to
happen
and
we
feel
compelled
to
draw
attention
to
the
matter
once
more
without
delay
before
it
is
too
late
and
some
fatality
becomes
sub'
judice.
There
are
numerous
corners
where
notorious
disregard
of
the
traffic
signs
is
repeatedly
going
on.
One
of
the
worst
of
these
corners
is
Third
Avenue
and
Fulton
Street
within
a
few
feet
of
the
police
station.
Another
is
Third
Avenue
and
Second
Street.
Still
another
is
Third
Avenue
and
McBride
Street.
Second
Avenue
and
Sixth
Street
is
also
bad.
There
is
no
excuse
for
the
practice
to
continue.
The
worst
offenders
appear
to
be
the
trucks
of
the
defence
project
authorities
which
there
is
no
reason
to
believe
should
not
be
just
as
subject
to
the
traffic
regulations
as
the
rest
of
us
are.
It
should
not
be.
necessary
to
appeal
to
the
authorities
concerned
to
see
that
the
safety
of
the
public
is
to
some
extent
.
regarded.
They
should
have
a
sufficient
enough
sense
of
responsibility
to
attend
to
it
without
a
coroner's
jury
having
one
of
these
days
to
castigate
them.
fits.
The
same
warning
might
go
to
others
whose
case
it
It
also
looks
like
the
time
is
ripe
for
some
sort
of
point
or
signal
light
system
at
the
intersections
here.
The
two
pillars
which
support
the
edifice
of
our
liberty
are
freedom
of
speech
and
a
free
press
says
the
Gazette
of
Montreal.
A
blow
is
being
struck
at
both
of
them,
insidiously
but
nonetheless
destructively.
Canadian'
democracy
is
under
attack,
and
by
those
upon
whom
the
people
of
Canada
have
relied
to
protect
and
preserve
it.
The
facts
are
these'.
When
the
Government
decided
to
impose
restraints
upon
the
consumption
of
alcoholic
beverages
and
beer
its
measures
included
prohibition
of
the
advertising
of
these
products.
The
quarrel
is
not
with
that
prohibition.
The
official
interpretation
under
which
this
ban
is
to
operate
defines
"advertisement"
as
including
"any
notice,
announcement,
or
information."
The
word
"publish"
for
the
purposes
of
the
order,
"means
to
communicate
to
any
person
or
persons
by
any
means
whatsoever."
It
is
possible
that
these
interpretations
are
the
result
of
excessive
zeal
on
the
part
of
a
drafting
official,
but
they
have
the
effect
of
law
and
they
strike
at
freedom
of
speech
and
freedom
of
newspaper
comment.
The
construction
put
upon
the
word
"publish"
is
absurd,
but
the
newspapers
and
people
of
Canada
are
obliged
to
accept
and
abide
by
it
unless
they
are
ready,
and
unless
Parliament
is
ready,
to
assert
and
defend
a
fundamental
democratic
right.
"To
communicate
to
any
person
or
persons
by
any
means
whatever"
goes
a
long
way
beyond
the
insertion
of
an
advertisement.
It
could
mean,
literally
it
does
mean.
thatthe
products
which
are
not
to
be
advertised
must
not
be
discussed
between
two
persons,
or
any
number
of
persons,
meeting
on
the
street,
sitting
in
their
homes,
or
conversing
by
telephone.
It
is
a
proposition
hitherto
unknown
outside,
the
boundaries
of
the
Third
Reich,
where
it
has
been
common
enough.
It
is
the
end
of
freedom
of
speech.
This
happens
in
Canada
a
nation
fighting
for
f-'riprlorn.
'
An
advertisement
includes
"information."
Under
its
official
ruling
no
newspaper
may
comment
editorially
or
otherwise
upon
the
operations
of
the
brewing
or
distilling
industries,
since
this
would
be
to
publish
information
normallv
the
most
legitimate
function
of
a
newspaper.
It
is
an
abridgement
of
the
freedom
of
the
press
which,
if
permitted
now.
can
be
carried
into
any
other
sphere
and
to
whatever
length
it
may
suit
the
Government
to
go.
Anv
one
violating
these
extraordinary
regulations
is
made
.liable
to
a
fine
of
$5,000
or
imprisonment
for
two
years,
or
both.
There
is
a
great
issue,
one
of
supreme
importance,
before
the
Canadian
public,
their
newspapers
and
their
Parliament.
If
they
are
to
stop
this
encroachment
upon
their
freedom,
and
are
to
prevent
others,
they
must
act,
vigorously
and
now.

Gasoline

Plan
Goes
into
Effect
a
new
gasoline

plan,
effective
on
April

UNDER
all
non-commercial
vehicle
owners
will
be
allowed
a
basic
"AA"
gasoline
license
and
ration
coupon
book,
containing
40
coupons
for
a
passenger
car,
or
16
for
a
motorcycle.
Owners
of
vehicles
eligible
for
a
special
category,
who
can
prove
their
need,
will
be
granted
an
extra
vocational
allowance,
fixed
in
advance
for
the
year
ending
March
31,
1944.
The
extra
allowance
for
a
special
category
car
will
be
tailored
to
meet
individual
needs.
In
determining
this
allowance,
the
previous
category
and
mileage
of
the
car
will
not
be
considered.
Instead
the
vocational
allowance
will
be
based
on
two
factors:
(l)
the
gravity
of
the
"oil
shortage
with
which
Canada
is
faced,
and
(2)
the
importance
of
the
vehicle
to
its
owner
in
a
country
at
war.
The
extra
vocational
coupons
will
be
issued
in
books
labelled
"Special,"
and
each
such
book
will
contain
not
more
than
60
coupons.
Only
one
"Special"
book,
or
portion
of
such
book,
will
be
issued
at
a
time,
and
hence
the
case
history
of
each
special

applicant
will
be
under
constant
review.
Under
provisions
of
the

order.i
the

the
right
to
refuse
any
application
for
a
special

for
an
infraction
of
the
regulations.
Under
the
new
system,
all
commercial

also.will
be
rationed.
Details
of
