LEGISLATION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
Although Premier Frost’s noncommittal reply as
to whether his government would act upon the request
set out in the brief and take legislative steps to elimin
ate inequalities in opportunities for employment and
housing and in treatment by caterers in Ontario was not
unexpected, nevertheless, it was a disappointment to
those individuals and organizations who sought assur
ances from the Ontario Premier.
If this matter had been brought to his attention for the
first time, it is understandable and logical that it would
have to be given consideration and that he would have
to consult his colleaigues. However a brief of a similar
nature was presented him last June and at the time Mr.
Frost stated that he was in full accord with the principle
of the right to work for all persons without regard to
race, colour or creed. Therefore, he .and his ministers
were aware of what the delegation sought and he was
in a position to give a more definite answer. Surely six
months is time enough to think it over.
His evasive reply and his resorting to generalities
with such expressions as Canada being* the melting pot
of races and an example to the world how different
races can live together, failed to give even a semblance
of either assurance or rejection of the petition. The
delegation was entitled to know after six months at
least where the government stood.
There is much debate as to whether legislation is
the wise course to curb racial prejudice, and some will
claim that education is the only solution. Legislation
against discrimination certainly is not .a cure-all and it
must go hand in hand with education. However, educa
tion alone is far from adequate, and it is a slow process.
'Moreover, ten states in the United States now have pre
ventative laws against discrimination, and they have
been proven effective and workable.
With this proof, some measure of enactment
against such shameful treatment as that accorded Negro
citizens in Dresden is warranted. Even the Toronto
Telegram, a staunch supporter of the Frost Government,
in its editorial this week stated that the present antidiscriminatory laws of Ontario which were passed in
1944 does not go far enough.
Despite the rebuff, one can take heart in that there
is a growing public awareness of the need for action
.against discrimination. More and more voices have been
raised in protest. In the June delegation. 40 organiza
tions were represented by about that number of dele
gates. This time more than 70 groups were present
and the delegation numbered more than 150.
The next move, is to keep the ball rolling.
A couple of gushy tourist-type
gals wandered into the On On
pharmacy in the heart of China
town and sat down at the soda
fountain—where they launched
into a loud conversation . .
“Isn’t this just wonderful/’ they
gurgled loudly as the customers
around them quieted down to lis
ten. ‘'Imagine—a Chinese soda
fountain, of all things, with Chi
nese soda jerks. And look. Look
at the cute Chinese bobbysoxers
around here. Why, they’re dress
ed just like American kids! And’
the signs all in Chinese. Gosh,
I wonder what they say—some
thing real quaint and Oriental
like, I’ll bet” ... At this point,
the kid seated next to them lean
ed over and smiled faintly: “I’ll
translate it for you, Ma’am. It
says “We do not discriminate
against Caucasians.”

LEGISLATION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
Although Premier Frost’s noncommittal reply as
to whether his government would act upon the request
set out in the brief and take legislative steps to elimin
ate inequalities in opportunities for employment and
housing and in treatment by caterers in Ontario was not
unexpected, nevertheless, it was a disappointment to
those individuals and organizations who sought assur
ances from the Ontario Premier.
If this matter had been brought to his attention for the
first time, it is understandable and logical that it would
have to be given consideration and that he would have
to consult his colleaigues. However a brief of a similar
nature was presented him last June and at the time Mr.
Frost stated that he was in full accord with the principle
of the right to work for all persons without regard to
race, colour or creed. Therefore, he .and his ministers
were aware of what the delegation sought and he was
in a position to give a more definite answer. Surely six
months is time enough to think it over.
His evasive reply and his resorting to generalities
with such expressions as Canada being* the melting pot
of races and an example to the world how different
races can live together, failed to give even a semblance
of either assurance or rejection of the petition. The
delegation was entitled to know after six months at
least where the government stood.
There is much debate as to whether legislation is
the wise course to curb racial prejudice, and some will
claim that education is the only solution. Legislation
against discrimination certainly is not .a cure-all and it
must go hand in hand with education. However, educa
tion alone is far from adequate, and it is a slow process.
'Moreover, ten states in the United States now have pre
ventative laws against discrimination, and they have
been proven effective and workable.
With this proof, some measure of enactment
against such shameful treatment as that accorded Negro
citizens in Dresden is warranted. Even the Toronto
Telegram, a staunch supporter of the Frost Government,
in its editorial this week stated that the present antidiscriminatory laws of Ontario which were passed in
1944 does not go far enough.
Despite the rebuff, one can take heart in that there
is a growing public awareness of the need for action
.against discrimination. More and more voices have been
raised in protest. In the June delegation. 40 organiza
tions were represented by about that number of dele
gates. This time more than 70 groups were present
and the delegation numbered more than 150.
The next move, is to keep the ball rolling.
A couple of gushy tourist-type
gals wandered into the On On
pharmacy in the heart of China
town and sat down at the soda
fountain—where they launched
into a loud conversation . .
“Isn’t this just wonderful/’ they
gurgled loudly as the customers
around them quieted down to lis
ten. ‘'Imagine—a Chinese soda
fountain, of all things, with Chi
nese soda jerks. And look. Look
at the cute Chinese bobbysoxers
around here. Why, they’re dress
ed just like American kids! And’
the signs all in Chinese. Gosh,
I wonder what they say—some
thing real quaint and Oriental
like, I’ll bet” ... At this point,
the kid seated next to them lean
ed over and smiled faintly: “I’ll
translate it for you, Ma’am. It
says “We do not discriminate
against Caucasians.”
