benefits of Law Given to the should feel either that the Law should be changed1 or that he be allowed to break it is probably True if there were no safeguards of rights in the Law or if policemen could ignore the police Force would be More that at least is the opinion of ramp superintendent Scotty in a recent speech to the Canadian club in the superintendent said that canadians May have to give up some of their such As the privacy of the mails and the Sanctity the so that the police can better wage the Battle against crime this is a thought that is More and More frequently and it appears to have some support from the whenever enquiries have revealed that policemen have evaded or ignored Laws in carrying out their there has been Little in the Way of Public outrage or after should criminals enjoy the Protection of Law this is a dangerous attitude on the part of the but especially dangerous on the part of the the Law protects suspected criminals because they Are Only sus and if they Are not none of us each the police across the country conduct Many Only some of which result in this Means the rest Are either taps of criminals too Clever to be caught that or the police Are listening to the personal and private conversations of a great Many innocent peo each year in Winnipeg during the Christmas and new years Holiday police Alert teams Stop hundreds of motorists to see if they have been with no grounds for doing so except that the motorists happen to be on a particular piece of Road at a particular a few Are hundreds Are subjected to an arbitrary Stop and search the police now want to extend this program year each time a civil right is it is justified As being for the greater the Good of the majority which does not commit crimes or drive and in both of these it could be argued that value gained outweighs the such an argument could be made for allowing the police to open that in the argument that superintendent Gar diner uses when he says that the War against crime May Force us to give up even More because the safeguards built into the Law Are used by criminals to protect them each Case where this is called for must be examined very not just for its immediately useful but for its Lon term consequences and the effect it can have on the erosion of because each involves stripping an individual of a civil even if Only a society should not be judged on How Well it protects the majority so much As on How Well it protects the rights of the sacrificing rights in Exchange for Law and order May Well leave us with better Protection from crime

Large tax increase next year on property owners in the City once the civic election has been conducted and councillors Are safely Back in they have voted to push Forward into 1984 and later years costs which the City should be accounting for and paying this they have done this to create the illusion of a Lestha inflation increase in City that which responsible City administrators ought not to be permits the Council to raise the property taxes by less than six per cent this year when they Send out the last tax Bills before the civic the necessary result of unrealistically Low spending estimates this year for for Road and Park maintenance and for Library Book for welfare for Public health services and for a Host of other items is that this years lost ground will have to be made up the following that is not responsible budget it is not honest presentation to the Public of the costs of municipal but when a councillors reelection is at responsible budgeting and honest accounting and defence of the Public interest and next years headaches Are matters of Small it is unfortunate that councillors feel obliged to go through these experience indicates that incumbent councillors Are usually reelected when they try to the great majority of councillors now in office Are Likely to be if they following the next election simply because their names Are before the Public whatever the Council the doctrine that taxes should be raised rapidly just after elections and held Down in election year has somehow taken hold in municipal politics and become the convention Al the result is instability of tax rates and sleight hand in the which the Public must tolerate because All or nearly wish to play the game by the same the Public is not the Public knows that the Sipper cent year was done with mirrors and that the real increase will come next but since councillors of the Independent citizens election committee and those of the coalition Are out bidding each other in the lets

Howe introduced his still rather Stern and Boring budget in Britain he said he expected total British output to Rise by two per cent in behind the some of his advisers Are saying on the basis of the very latest growth of Over three per cent looks More optimistic when the Reagan administration in its budget in the official forecast was for growth in 1983 within a few Days some of his economic advisers were saying publicly that growth might go As High As five per in West Germany the economic institutes Are also turning More optimistic for following the reelection of Chancellor Helmut none of the economic optimists is saying that the recovery will necessarily there Are no signs of a big revival in employment or because Many factories still have More workers and machinery than they can use full All that has happened so far is that inventory recession is turn ing into greater production for invent but it is unusual that the economic advisers in the various big countries1 governments Are at present More optimistic than the another disagreement is in Over much of the Between generally the economic advisers want to take every conceivable step to keep kicking further Down wards the world Price of politicians Are often trying to keep it we had the open ministers Here in London this they met in a London hotel to try to Patch up their and ended with an agreement which Oil companies Public relations men Are saying May but most economists do not believe one of the Best views on the Oil argument runs like this i wont say whom i got it because it would be politically awkward for the marginal Cost of most of the present Oil that is actually needed is about a barrel for a barrel would just about cover the costs of keeping their existing Wells the monopoly Price of Oil the Price that would maximize income to a car Tel if every producer joined in As tightly As say producers in the world Diamond Cartel do about a above that Price demand would fall so and world slump would be so that even monopoly reve nue would so you can Only say that the equilibrium Price for Oil is somewhere Between and a bar this is the View being put to govern and it horrifies it Horri fies Oil companies even but economic advisers Are rightly saying the higher the Price the worse the prospects that world slump will continue the sharper the fall the better the Prospect for resumption of inflation free world economic the Stop to fast world economic growth came with the establishment of open the disappearance of open would be Good for everybody except Oil not economic politicians Are falling Back on the argument even if is the Cost of present nobody will dig new Wells if the Price Falls below about a i do not go for the precise figures on this at about a it would not be economic to dig some new Wells in the rough North sea or the far but you could still make a lot of Money digging Wells in v to politicians reply you Are therefore agreeing if the Price of Oil Falls too we would be Back at the mercy of the sheikhs would promptly restore their monopoly and Send the prices soaring this is not quite once the Price new Wells would be1 for the time most governments Are leaning against a fur ther Sharp fall in the Oil although they probably wont succeed for erroneous View the article by Greg Bannister obstetrics cuts will Hurt ads free March 18 quotes Dirk Blouw As
