(We do not suggest that Mr. Justice Mackay would have been unable to reach the same conclusion without it, but it greatly fortified his position.) It is to be hoped that other provinces will hasten to make clear that their "public policy" is not less free from racial bigotry than that of Ontario. In British Columbia there are similar restrictive covenants against sales to Orientals, whether Canadian citizens are not, and the municipality of Burnaby was recently agitated as to whether it could‘ not impose such restrictions by byâ€"law.

Res arlcl c2 0000009 A decision of the profoundest import was rendered last week by Mr. Justice Keiller Mackay when he declared invalid as contrary to public policy a cause in a property deed of transfer, perpetually proâ€" hibiting the sale of the property to any Jew or person of "undesirable nationality". The decision obviously required the learned justice to form an idea, not of what the "public policy of Ontario ought to be, but of what it actually is; and fortunately he had available for his assistance the recent legislation on racial discrimination, whose value, rather widely questioned at the time, has thus been promplly establishâ€" L4 e o e i e se oc . is i "Saturday Night" comments on the recent decision of Mr. Justice Keiller Mackay, who ruled on the public policy of Ontario. But the public has heard very little of the Ford company‘s the story. The clear, easyâ€"toâ€"read report of the real facts situation which Ford executives are in a position to give, has n broughtâ€"certainly not adequntelyâ€"â€"to public attention. As apparent to all daily newspaper readers in recent weeks, the great proportion of all newspaper copy dealing with the Ford strike has been devoted to telling the strikers‘ side of the story, reporting their actions, opinions, threats, allegations. For this reason strike leaders are ever ready to make statements to the press, almost constantly available to tell what is going on, what they think is going on, what they expect will go on. Carefully planning their press statements and timing strike moves to "make news" and to "keep the headlines" edition after edition, day after day, is a major part of the strike organizer‘s job. The professional labor organizer well knows the immense power of public opinion. He is generally expert in knowing how to make it useful to him.
