C. McRuer, is best known these days in his own province as the man who heads its Royal Commission on Human Rights. A great many men and women, speaking as individuals and in behalf of interested groups, have appeared before him to point cut what they consider to be injustices. No doubt they were cheered by some recent remarks of his to the American Bar Association and will all be expecting him to find in their favor when the com- mission reports. In his opinion, he said, some laws are a legacy of other days and others have been "forced on us by impatient legis- lators who are more concerned with rules than justice." He also observed that what is sometimes interpreted as dis- respect for the law may be only a manifestation of a burn- ing desire for justice. Before there is read into Mr. McRucite philosophical remarks a licence to break laws with impunity, the militant groups that flout the existing laws should note that he added that disrespect of all law and order is degenerative and leads to chaos. There is a difference between disrespect that is the basis for protest leading to-orderly reform, and disrespect that bursts out in violence and law breaking. Words of President Johnson, spoken in this stormy US summer, should be heeded also in Canada, which is not without its disorders: "Our country can abide civil protest ...it cannot abide civil violence." Those who make the laws should act quickly to improve and correct them, but freedoms are likely to be lost, or at least circumscribed, when legitimate protest leads to riot.

The figure seemed a little high to the startled "reader. But then so do a great: many of the figures about poverty that are being bandied about. It is suspected that people were no less happy, and may even have been happier, when, instead of becoming statistics in an anti-poverty campaign, they tried to live within their means. As the standard of living changes, naturally minimum requirements change. A man who was rich a hundred years ago might now be considered poor if his possessions -- were compared with those of an affluent man of today. What disturbs is the change in attitude which turns the effort to live within one's means into a mug's game.
