durum 11 motion Published by Canadian Newspapers Ltd 16 Bayiieldstreet Barrie Onmri PAGE FOUR MONDAY MAY II 195 EDITORIAL Those London Travellers Dont Want Contamination Many Canadian from Nanaimo and district who have visited in London mgland have remarked and discussed the deep reserve of British people when travelling in train or on the underground systems According to McIntyre Hood who is London correspondent for The Barrie Examiner the British have sev eral reasons for this closed mouth at titude In recent story from London Mr Hood has this to soy London smokers are faced with future ban on smoking on all Inndon underground trains At present each train has two or three nonsmoking com partments labelled as such In all the others the smokers can light up their cigarettes cigars or pipes and turn the air blue to their hearts content But Dr Norman the Inndon Transport Ebrecutiveschlef medical officer if he hadhis way would make every coach nonsmoking compartment In an address to the Royal Society of Health in London he said that in his view this change would be forced by public opinion He foresaw that it would harden against smoking until as in some other countries no smoking would be permitted on the underground mom the standpoint of public health he said this was certainly the objective to be attained As first step he is having some re search done as to the advisability of in creasing the nonsmoking accommoda tion on each train from the present 30 per cent to 50 per cent Smoking said Dr Norman is matter of individual choice In public however it may be offensive to others and may even be harmful Bus conduct ors sometimes experience bouts of cough ing caused by smoking on the upper deck On Londons doubledeck buses no amoking is permitted inside on the lower deck but smoking is allowed on the upper deck Dr Norman touched on another sub ject the traditional reserve of London ers which prevents them talking to stran gers on buses and trains He thinks it is good thing as it lessens danger infection During rush hours on the under ground he sald iargenumbers stand with their noses and throats as close as 12 to 18 inches Yet Londoners are not unduly susceptible to infectious disease The British tralitionrillyl do not con verse in trains There may be advantag es in this national custom as the closed mouth minimizes the spread of infect ion So now we know why Londoner climbs into train compartment and burles himself in his daily newspaper He just does not want to be contaminated by others Opinions of Other Newspapers WERENT EVEN MISSED New York Times Like the man who was afraid to take vac ation because he might not be missed the sev aal thousand city employees who in Violation of the state law struck and pickeled city Hall in oneday demonstration yesterday may have proved more than they expected An Associated Press bulletin but from the scene at midday said Despite the demonstra tion it was announced by Mayor Wagner at City Hall press conference at ll oclock that none of the citys server had been impaired and no department had suffered loss in affluency This even allowing for some defensive exag gerationraises couple of questions Is effic iency already so low that ahgbt worsening is hardly noticeable Or were the departments over manned with employees getting in each other way At nnyrate cilher the Mayor said the wrong thing or lerry Wurf the union leader of the dem onstration proved the wrong thing on the eve of publication of the Mayors budget SMALL CAB FUSE Oshawa Times It is understandable that workers in the Can auto industry are concerned about the pos ilily of small cars being imported from the Un ited States At the same time there is no reason for panicand some of the statements made on the subject so far have been frantic mixture of rumor that could do serious damage to the Canadian industry long before anything defuiite is known about the small car question The Big Three have made no announcements about building small cars either in the United States or Canada At present then the question of imporu from the USis strictly hypothetical But the effect of the unrestrained publicity being given the matter could be very much the re vase of hypothetical Lets bring it down to cases The jobs of large numbers of men and women in Oshawa and dis News oiFormer Years Marnie The town fathers evidently clamped dowu on dogs and passed motion that On and after May 10 dogs found running at large be impound ed and if he destroy Aid Clark proved one of the chief foes of canines He pointed out that they were de stroying shrubs and gardens and there is by law against their running at large Mayor Robert son thought that the leash law should be enforced Deputy Reeve Mills stated that only 140 dogs were assessed in town Who owns all the rest of them be queried Lake Simcoe was to receive five million while iish babies from the Ontario Government Fish hatchery at Collingwood The superintendent is also preparing to deposit fifty million in and around the shoal waters of Georgian Bay and not redeemed in 4a hours that they that it could not be done then irlcl depend on the sales of GM cars if the ears sell well the plants are busy if they do not sell well production and jobs must be cut What happens if prospective car buyers impress ed by all the shouting about imports of small cars decide to wait to see what the new products are like Suppose the talk convinces them that the small cars will be on sale within matter of months They may wait inslead of buying that new Chevrolet or Pontiac and there will he just that much less work for men and Women In Oshawa People here will recall how prospective car buyers held oif couple of years ago because rumor got started that lhe excise tax on automo biles would be removed or sharply reduced The buyers waited and the production lines slowed down The same thing could happen now We believe that the situation calls for calm and restraint Those who are genuinely inicreslcd in the welfare pf the Oshawa workers will give thought to the need for restraint Those who are more concerned with political or personal molives of course will not be too worried by the damage lbeydo Demands for government action at this stage are either thoughtless or politically inspired There is in fact nothing that the government can do it is being asked to do something about situation that does not exist The product against which Canada is to be protected has not yet even been manufactured In other words it is being asked to consider tariff action against commodity that is not being made and moreover without con sideralion of arrangements subscribed to by Can ada under the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs and other trade agreements The situation as we see it is this big fuss is being made about threat that does not now exist but the fuss itself could seriously affect produciion and jobs in the automobile plants The reasonable course would appear to be one of less talk and more thought If and when the threat becomes less vague firm and reasoned proposals can then be made Lake Huron Such hatching has been valuable to fishermen during the past six years as on estimaie of the production has gone up 40 per cent over two year period step toward reducing the size of town council was taken by motion of Dep Reeve Mills and Reeve MacLarcn That the

brought Gen Charles do Gaulle to power in France And while de Gaulle has made progress toward settling many of the problems besetting postwar France the exhausting dilemma of Algeria itself remains essen tially unchanged The hard core oflndependence minded Algerian Moslems is still tucked away in the hills carrying its war and campaign of terror through the fifth year FRANCE rs ONE The millionodd European sot tlers only tenth of the popula tion still hold out for tclal inte gration with France under the sl The Mediterranean crosses Franco like the Seine cruises Para Fren Army in Alger tied down by what it feels is an aimless wor still is restless and determined that Algeria will not turn out to be another Indochina It was last May 15 that Euro pean students stormed the French administration building in Algiers The army look over and de Ganlle emerged as the symbol of the revolt to keep Algeria French The warmintoxicating nights of political demonstration bred hope and promise which were never fulfilled Now doubt and uncertainty hang over Algeria Especially over the European set ers FEAR NEGOTIATION Do Gaulles Fifth Bepuiic has not given formal backing to the idea of integration Negotiation with lhe rebels still is prospect and to most Europeans negotia tion could mean only Moslcm independence Algerian independence and Moslem government undoubtedly wouldmean the gradual expul sion of many Europeans and the decline of European influence in the country It is the vision of refugee ships and meaner and crowded living conditions in the raindrenched cities of France that haunt the Europeans of Algeria It is the prospect of hundreds of thousands of unemployed Frencb men from Algeriamost affhem used to high standard of living that haunts the French govern ment POLITICAL rnnnar Those people would not only be an economic problem says French official They would become political problem and threat to the government Algerian integralion means po litical

England Correspondent For The Barrie Examinery LONDON For the first time since came to London nearly year ago the dear old Strand from Trafalgar to Aldwych is clear of construction barricades and obstructions The gigantic widening scheme which has been in progress for vtbe last few years with the laying of the new and wider pavement in front of the Charing Cross Station What transformation has been brought about And it has now become apparent with the removal of lire last of the contractors ma chinery and the barricades Which had forced all vehicular traffic into narrow channels and caused bottlenecks which made pro gress along the Strand slow prpcess OLD BUILDINGS GONE The work of reconstructiouof this old section of the Strand has been ruthless in its removal of historic old office dings and small stores which came velos to the edge of the side walk They have all disappear ed that this new Strand does not looklike the street werused to know in bygone days The tell and heavy lron

fights for survival one does not joke What of the Algerian Moslems in the minds of some French men most Moslems side with France Their approval vote in lost Septembers constitutional referendum is cited as proof To the leaders of the rebel Na tional Liberation Front the mass of the population is behind them How else they ask could we continue the rebellion for so long Many officers in the French Army are cold if not hoslile to ward do Gaulle even though they helped bring him to power Their major charge against de Gaulle today is that he has remained enigmch on Algeria He has not backed

sparked armed revolt in three neighboring provinces ofwestern China goa long way towardexplaining the apparent insistence of the Chi nese Communists on blaming the Indian government for instigating the trouble The supporting evidence Peip ing has to offer is based on two indisputable facts That Britain sent an expeditionary force into Tibet half cehlury ago and that the Indian border town of Kallm pong includes high percentage of spies inits population Therefore the Chinese argue it is evident that independent lndia has taken over from imperialist of the past now 11 the last few Britain as trouble maker in weeks while the paving of the widened street was being done in sections it was gelling to see the singleliues of buses cars and trucks trying to squeeze past each other Now that is all over and folks can get to their offices up in Fleet Street much more ex peditiously than has been the case for the last year The new Strand is here at last and it has been well worthwhile wait ing for it Tibet and that Prime Minister Nehru is the instigotor of the dis turbances Even Nehrus Pakistani neigh bors who feel he is being un reasonable in his claims to the disputed territory of Kashmir would have difficulty recognizing the portrait of lodlas prime min ister as an unpirebuilder To the neutrallslsof Asia and Africa which look to Nehru for leader ship the Chinese charges must appear hopelessly implausible Electing Foreign Scapegoat have temporarily shelved their ef forts to woo theirneighbors in favor of more pressing projects at home They are resorting to the time honored expedient of elechng foreign scapegoat to takevresponsibility for domestic houbles Their choice of Nchru in pre ference to the relatively remote whipping boys of Washington and London gives the new Conununist campaign an element of novel The fact that Indias renuncia tion of any claims on Tibet was almost the first act of her in dependent career isvunlikely to be known by more than handH ful of Chinese Like the Russians at thetlme of the Hungarian uprising the Chinese are prepared to risk some deterioration of their rela lions with the outside world They presumably are satisfied that Nehru willibe willingto forgive their insults in the interests of Asian harmony Nehrus restraint in dealing with the situation tends tocan firm their belief But it will take longer to overcome the effects of the wave of antiChinese feeling that has arisen despite the prime ministers protests inmany ports of India There is no evidence that the Chinese revolt poses serious l1 point look on him as potentially strong leader However this one observer is not going to sell him abort In yet scow STARTER One reason for this in the dim solar and temperament of young cm chief lie is what might be termad distance runner which actually was at Noire Dame Heibas lot of German blood in him and is slow off the mark and patient He also is gentleman These have to an extent been handicaps In the first case his slowness has meant that he does not make up his mind in hurry And many in his party have been crying for revolutionary new ideas In the second case hchas been surrounded by crowd of extreme amateurs and is so no lite he has listened to them But with this in the long run is man of his own mind and so thisobserver is waiting and watching snosr cmrmzrn In many ways Mr Winter meyer is similar to Premier Frost And this brings to mind thatin his early days Mr Frost was not too well regarded His strongest critics were in his cabinet including his senior ministers They usedto complain thathe would never make up his mind Then of course he ran the 1951 election and personally carried the whole party onhla shoulders And ever since he has been the White Father The same could happen to Mr Winiermcyer if there is any real huust at all in the Liberal stand ing he could become abero Also he should For he has worked tremen dously hardno one denies that And he personally has sold many Against ihis the professional organization has been floundering around Any credit going at all should go to him that resentment over Tibet is likely to stir neutralist Asians into active it toward their powerfulneighbor But China has some fences to mend in ifscam paign to make friends in Die obviously the Chinese leaders threat to the Peiping regime or area
