THE LAW LORDS WERE AMAZED Following the decision of the slip- reme court in 1935 which upheld the validity of the federal “Canada Tem­ perance Act” fa its relation to certain counties of Ontario, Premier Hep­ burn said: “The Ontario government is not going to place itself in the ri­ diculous position of enforcing an act which it is under no obligation to en­ force, and the validity of which it strongly questions,” That has since been the policy and practice of Mr. Hepburn and his attorney-general, Hon, Gordon Conant. In December of 1938 Mr, Conant said: “We cannot enforce the Canady Temperance Act because we do not admits its consti­ tutional validity,” this., of course, long after the supreme court had declared it valid. These two men have thus declared themselves superior to the courts, an attitude so amazing and so deserving of censure, that a commit­ tee of the privy council could hardly believe its ears when the facts were laid before it. The committee held a brief hearing 'in May on the application of the On­ tario government to have its appeal against the supreme court decision postponed until after the war, and the official notes of the proceedings have now reached Canada. They show that when counsel for the temperance bodies told the privy council commit­ tee that these would consent to post­ ponement if the Ontario government would accept the law as established by the court decisions and enforce it, the law lords seemed unable to und­ erstand that any other course than en­ forcement could possibly be thought of by the government. Said Viscount Maugham: “I do not understand that. The law is what it is, what the courts at the time have decided for the area which is within their jurisdiction. The law is what it is — what the courts have decided it is, not what Mr. Hepburn or Mr. Conant think it ought to be, or what thew hope to have it declared on an appeal not yet heard. In the meantime, it is their duty to enforce it, blit they have refused to do so. Not only that, but the govern­ ment has established beer-rooms in C. T. A, territory, an action which coun­ sel for the temperance bodies suggest­ ed to the committee is “a criminal of­ fence.” Viscount Maugham suggested that if this is unlawful, the courts ex­ ist to check it. But counsel pointed out that under the B.N.A. ey-general of the province whether prosecution shall not. Lord Wright: “Has it held that that entitles unlawfully?” Viscount Maugham: of the supreme 'court binding on everybody versed, if it ever is reversed, binding and people have to obey the order; they have to take tha”t view of the law.” Lord Wright: “We cannot believe that the attorney-general of Ontario would deliberately defy it.” Viscount Maugham added that it seemed rather surprising to him that the the but the hearing of the appeal, it was pot Something the committee could help. Its attitude he said would have to be: “We can hardly credit or believe it; we regret it very much. Everybody should comply with the law, but we cannot help it.” Everybody should comply with the > Corn! Corn! pry Essex County grown.

Yet Mr. Conant himself said only the oth­ er day: “It is highly improper and it may even be a criminal offence against the section of the criminal code hav­ ing to do with obstructing justice for any person to dictate to any policeman what laws he should enforce or refrain from enforcing.” Mr. Conant can not be proud of the surprise which his own refusal to enforce the law creat­ ed among the law lords of Britain.— Toronto Daily Star.
