deed, Wiih that reputation it may be asAumed Mr.St.Laurent would not have in business lile n-sociations which, in politics, he believed to be disreputable.But let us look at the record.Mr.Si.Laurent entered publie life on hi* up-polntment a,- Minister of Justice in 11)41 .Where did he come from?What had been his association»?He wa* head of the legal firm of St.Laurent, Gagne, Devlin mid Taschereau.Hanked among the most eminent corporation lawyers, his practice was one of the largest in the country.Beyond this profitable connection with \u201cbig fi-; nance.\" Mr.St.Laurent was a director of the Hank | of Montreal, the Metropolitan Life Assurance (Jo.of New York and the Gatineau Power Co., to mention only three of a lust of nine or ten directorates he once held.All are large, successful enterprises, well within^he compass of hi* disparaging term.The Prime Minister was not ashamed of these i connections.Why should others be?We do not imagine he think* ill of that long list of Liberal Cab-inèt Ministers, including former Finance Ministers llsley, Dunning and the lute Col.Kaloton, who quit public life to become associated with \"big finance.\" Yet Mr, St.Laurent urges that the Pro-I gressive Conservative Party be shunned because, he says, it would tie the country hand and foot to I such men and interest*.Let us look at the Progressive Conservative j leader's background.Where did he come from?What have been his associations?On returning i from service in the First World War, Mr.Drew fin-I ished his legal education and began practice in his native Guelph.Almost immediately he won I election to the City Council, later became mayor I of that city and moved to Toronto as Assist-i ant Master of the Supreme Court of Ontario.Ho I became Master, and later chairman of the Securities Commission.He achieved no list of direc-I torates.Cleerly Mr.St.Laurent should leave the \"class baiting\" to the demagogues.There will come a day when he may regret having \"fouled the nest.\" When his term runs out and the Government is defeated\u2014\u2022 as it will be\u2014he may wish to return to business.And business men, even those in the lofty reaches of high finance, have their feelings \u2014 atid their ; pride.The Record Short Story A REASON FOR JERRY From The Record Files FREEDOM OF INFORMATION One of the essential factors in the holding of a free and democratic election is the provision of adequate channels of information for the people who must make the final decision on the actions of the government for the past four or five years.The ordinary citizen does not go to the polls and cast his ballot on the basis of information he acquired during the last five or ten minutes.In actual practice, either consciously or unconsciously, he has been examining the government during its term of office and his decision represents a considered balancing of those features which he believes favorable against those features he holds less desirable.But the provision of this clear source of information requires that all available means of communicating current events, and especially the radio and the press be free from all government information.Although the Government of Canada subscribes to this doctrine in theory, and especially when it takes part in international conferences, there are disturbing indications that its radio policies are far removed from the principles it so loudly supports.Under the present system every word spoken over radio stations is liable to prior censorship by the Government through the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.Non-CBC\u2014 that is, non-Government\u2014stations can be seized at any time and required to operate under such terms as the Government may dictate.Private broadcasting licenses may be cancelled at any time, without cause, by a Minister of the Crown.Admittedly these provisions have been so far applied with restraint, but the fact does 1 remain that at the best freedom of the air is only enjoyed in Canada by kind permission of \u2019the Government.The rules nullifying it are ; there, but the Government, like an indulgent father, overlooks enforcing them.Obviously this is no proper foundation for freedem of the air.It relies on what is actually an un- j BUSTING FILIBUSTERS London Free Frees Washington's Senatorial filibuster is all the j more dramatic in that it may be the final act in a long play.The United States Senate must be one of the last legislative bodies in the world- to at-' tempt to carry on its business without some form of closure.This means that almost any group of senators, and sometimes stout-hearted individuals, can block a measure indefinitely merely by continuous talk-; ing.The record was established by the late Louis-I iana Kingfish.Huey Long, who harangued the j Senate for 15 hours an-d 35 minutes without I interruption.But plenty of others have done al-¦ most as well\u2014or badly.The U.S.Senate is a peculiar institution, re.i garding itself as the custodian of states rights.The result is that its members feel that any measure which is drastically opposed by their particular states should not pass, even if it commands a considerable majority support in the Senate.Southern senators have been particularly vehement in their filibustering.Now it is proposed, that limitations on debate be adopted, and it is against this that the : filibuster is directed.If the measure goes through there will be no more filibusters, and senators will have to depend on the strength rather than the length of their arguments.But it hasn\u2019t passed yet.There has been strong opposition from quar-, tens having no sympathy wdth the aims of Southern senators.These feel that the principle of \u201cconcurrent majorities\" demands the continuation o'f the right to filibuster.It is the same problem the United Nations faces over the use of the veto.THIRTY YEARS AGO Taking part in an entertainment presented at Granby were: Rev.A.J.H.Strike, Miss Marjorie Moore, Miss Florence Moore, Mrs.W.T.B.MacDonald, Glenn Strike and William Solomon.Officers named for the District of Bedford Ayrshire Breeders' Club were: W.F.Kay, M.I1., James Davidson, Walter M.Wallace, C.W.Curtis, J.F,.Jackson, A.E.Bell, Wiltom Dryden, George Gingras and A.F.Sanborn.* * \u2022 TWENTY YEARS AGO Officers named for the Women\u2019s Institute at South Roxton were: Mrs.N.B.Smith, Mrs.J.\tE.Blampin, Mrs.N.II.Robinson, Mrs.H.L.Doe, Miss E.\tDoe, Mrs.C.C.Savage and Mrs.A.F.Sanborn.The folloning committee was named for the restoration of the Maple Grove Cemetery: William Dinning, John Bennett, Irvine Cross, John Kimball, Rev.H.W.Parry, John K.\tLittle, George G.Karr, J.W.Porter, and George Little.\u2022 * \u2022 TEN YEARS AGO The republic of Czechoslovakia has been formally dissolved in face of threatened invasion by German and Hungarian troops.Officers named for the Sherbrooke Municipal Chapter, I.O.I).E., were: Mrs.W.E.Loomis, Mrs.M.W.Mitchell, Mrs.G.g.Thomson, Mrs.M.Graham and Mrs.S.H.Gallingcr.# * # FIVE YEARS AGO Officers named for the Melbourne Ridge Women\u2019s Institute were: Mrs.G.Frank, Mrs.J.Baker, Mrs.L.Driver, Mrs.C.\tTaber and Mrs.R.Kerr.The executive named for the Sherbrooke Hospital comprised: A.A.Munster, W.M.Hall, F.\tS.Rugg, J.R.Sangster, G.D.\tWadsworth, Colin Campbell, W.N.Rook and Dr.W.J.K linck.Letters To The Editor SUPPORTER OF THE RURAL i SCHOOL The Editor.Sir:\u2014May I *bo allowed to addj liny shiixe of interest to those per-| sens wffo are seeking to retain the Rural School.I feel the voice of every parent!
