pe -- ae 2 = THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE LS A : ARIA Adak sirhen id bans Bordo Liew wed di}. A Thursday, April 27th, 1961 = Notes and Comments th Toujours Algeria One of the strange paradoxes of the twentieth century is seen in the relation- ship that has developed between the mo- ther countries and their colonies. In this era of progress and spreading prosperity one would have imagined that both mo- therland and her, colonial offsprings might have enriched themselved through mutual co-operation 'and mutual trust. But such -a'development is just the opposite to what really 'has 'happened. Just after the war Indonesia broke with the Netherlands but the break was not complete until civil war ravaged the col- onies and the Dutch were driven out, It was .a costly break for both Holland and Indonesia. Its aftermath is not yet play- ed out. Communism in the guise of free- dom fighters played an active part and in a measure won a considerable following in the newly freed land. they have kept Sokarno sitting on a very fragile fence. Inevitably, the re-adjust- ment that follows the collapse of an im- perial order leaves the country without the technical, the professional and the of- * ficial personnel so necessary to the effi- cient running of the economy. Holland lost a vast part of her wealth when Indo- nesia won her freedom; Indonesia lost her. dependency and won a kind of freedom. She has struggled valiantly to establish herself but it has been. and still is very much an uphill fight against great ob-- stacles. France more than any other European nation has suffered mortal blows through her colonies in the last fifteen years. First, there was the tragedy of French-Indo The New Party Premier Tommy Douglas of Saskatche- wan has indicated that he will seek the New Party leadership if Saskatchewan will let him go. Precisely what is meant by that last condition no one except Tommy. Douglas seems to know. At the present time the Prairie Premier is in Ottawa attending an organization meeting of the New Party supporters. Mr. Douglas' one opponent for the position could be Hazen Argue--present leader of the C.C.F. If Mr. Douglas does win the nod of the new Party members he will come to Ottawa as no stranger to the House of Commons. ' Twice before 1944 when he became premier in Saskatchewan, Tommy Douglas was elected to the Federal Assembly. : Meantime the New Party is having headaches other than those associated - with choosing a national leader. In the West it is encountering opposition with re- gard to the payment of dues to the party fund through its labour affiliates. In Quebec it is experiencing bitter opposition although the trade union movement is a strong one. If the New Party does gain substantial . strength, it will only serve to. maintain _the: Conservatives in Power by splitting ~ the opposition vote. This was the role played by the CCF and the Social Credit Since that time . China. The disasters there had barely ended when trouble broke out in Africa. Algeria in its fight to free itself from the mother country has brought France to her knees. There is almost no part of French life that has not felt the effect of the bitter warfare that engulfed the African colony. It served to bring down government after government until in des- - peration the people of free France turned "to a dictator in the person 'of deGaulle. Now the very men who helped him come to power have turned on him and led a revolt in Algeria that threatens to topple him from office. Looking back over the past few years it would seem that France and Algeria have deliberately chosen to destroy themsleves. There is a kind of perverse madness in the course of events that bespeaks an almost unbelievable stu- pidity. And yet as the events occur it is difficult to see what could have been done differently. ¥ os } Now, it is America's turn. Although Cuba is certainly no colony of the United States in the ordinary sense, in a rather extra-ordinary way that is precisely what Baptista's Cuba was--an American pleas- ure resort and favourite gambling spot. With the same ineptitude that marked the course of events in Indonesia, in Indo- China, in Algeria, the United States has become involved in the affairs of Cuba. So far the results have been most un- happy. Nor do the pronouncements of Mr. Kennedy augur much for the future. Where our pocketbooks are engaged all too often our humanity and our wisdom are both forgotten, parties in prolonging the life of the Lib- eral administration, The factions in this country are so far apart that a third party has no chance to ~~ be elected to power. \ - Short of a complete economic break-down it is difficult to im- agine Canadians electing any party other than the Conservatives or the Liberals. So many people have come to this conclusion that even those who feel that a third party might be the best thing that ever happened to Canadian politics say that it is useless to even try to suppoit one. Few people rally around a still-born cause. However, in spite of the fact that the CCF never had a chance, it is interesting to note that its members were the first in the House of Commons to see that wel- fare measures must take precedence in our legislation; they were: also the source of the legislation that was -to be: adopted. Both the Conservatives and the Liberals used the ideas of the CCF to build their platform and policies and so in a'measure we are all indebted to the party that never - had a chance. Now it's about to be re- placed by the New Party which hasn't a chance to come to power but will probably serve the country in the same:way that the CCF did -- by supplying ideas to the two old parties. * District Doings According to information available it is planned to construct a 24 unit Court before Magistrate N.

Whitby is in need of a complete modern overnight service for travel- lers, tourists and other visitors. With a southern location and facilities for meals 'as well the sleeping, it is point- ed out that Whitby would have a ser- vice equal to any in the district: In addition the providing of facilities for banquets and conventions would, it is felt, fill a need of the town, especially since the Old Town Hall has been de- 'molished. . An application would be made to the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario for the sale of beer and wine in the dining room, and the establishment of two beverage rooms, < REFUSE DUMPED ON ROADSIDE BRINGS HEAVY FINES ; Persons convicted of dumping re- fuse on road allowances within the Township of Markham are being as- forthe [south pett of Whitby, "later removed by the nccuséd.

Report "From Parliament 'Minister'of Labour Parliament re-opened on Monday with 'discussion agricultural ' esti- mates and rural Yehabilitation. 'By mutual agreement the tradition- al Supply Motion was delayed for the time being, giving the House time to clean up other matters hanging over from the pre-Easter debates. Prime Minister ' Macmillan's pres- ence in Ottawa took some of the spot- light off Parliament. The United Kingdom Prime Minis- ter had a crowded agenda, including State dinners 'and an 'appearance be- fore the Canadian Club, He was not, on this visit, address- ing the Houses of Parliament. Prime Minister Macmillan's visit was a reminder that President Ken- nedy would be in Ottawa next month, for his first trip outside the United States since being elected. As Minister 'of 'Labour, I was hap- py to receive an invitation from Unit- ed States: Secretary of Labour Gold- berg to go to Washington near the end of April to discuss problems of mutual concern. Secretary Goldberg made plain in his note that intense concern of the present administration with the situa- tion in Canada and their desire to be fully informed of developments in this country in every field. Certainly, an exchange of informa- tion and ideas as outlined by the La- bour Secretary--particularly in view of the recent visit by the Prime Min- ister to Washington and of President Kennedy's forthcoming trip to Can- ada---cannot but be useful, Such: exchanges; which are becom- ing more and more current, emphasize the old adage that it's a small world-- and one that in the jet age is hecom- ing smaller and smaller, Certainly such visits and exchanges of ideas and information are vitally necessary in the light of the solidarity and oneness of ideals and principles [among free ations, I had the pelasure-this week of hav- ing a visit in my office in Ottawa from Ernie Marks of Oshawa, along with Mrs. Marks and five of their children, ' It 'was good to have a chat 'with Ernie and members of his family and to have lunch with them in the Parlia- mentary Restaurant. Afterwards, they sat in the. House for Orders of the Day and the Parlia- mentary Question Period. This is the time, just after Motions and before Orders of: the Day, when private members are permitted: to rise in: their places and ask questions of the Government on matters of cutrent and urgent interest. The Question Period is a great Parliamentary : institution and exists in those legislatures which are model- led after the British Parliament. There is nothing like it in the Unit- ed. States, for example, where noiway exists-in- which- members of -the 'Cab- inet can appear before Congress or the Senate day after day to answer questions on the administration of their departments. A substitute is found in the medium of the Press Conference, but generally this does not produce anything like the same results since, first of all, they cannot be held every day; and secondly, the press has not got the same interest in day-to-day matters of administrative routine as have the. elected representatives of the people. A great many important and fac- tual. matters have been elicited over the years through questions asked in the House of Commons; and thé im- portance of the Parliametnary Ques- tion Period has increased considerably in the last few years as an indication of the growth and: development in Parliamentary procedure. This is pointed up by an interest- ing comment' made by Prime' Mintster Macmillan at his Press Conference in the House 'of ' Conintons: on | Tutsdhy 'when he: told chuckling reporters: that even answering the questions of one hundred pressmen was a relief after ~'['the Question Period inthe British House 'of Commions, Clipped Comments CANADIAN 'MANUFACTURING MUST PROGRESS AND PROSPER THROUGH DOMESTIC MARKETS TORONTO -- "Perhaps the gravest and most fundamental of our national problems is the fact that while we Canadians have evolved a way of life which can' nly be supported. if we have a: profitable: and progressive manufacturing 'potential, we are not yet disposed to acknowledge that daet, or to act in accordance with it," Stuart Armour, Economic. Adviser, The Steel Company of Canada, Ltd. said here 'recently. ' Speaking before 'the Young Men's Canadian Club of Toronto, Mr, Arm- our stated that most authorities, in- cluding the Governor of the Bank of Canada, now agree that only manu- facturing can provide the employment, the production and taxes required to sustain some 18 million Canadians upon the world's second highest standard of living, "Yet, despite this undoubted fact," he said, "we continue to act as if ours was still an agricultural economy. We Canadians like all those appurtenances of a high level of living which only manufacturing makes possible, while at the same time we try to kid our- selves that we.are a nation of horny- handed sons of the soil." Mr. Armour warned members of his youthful audience that their fut- ures as young Canadians are going to. be seriously affected unless Canadian manufacturing does. progress and prosper through domestic business. -"!Thé trouble is that the social struc- ture, the type of society, the national economy we have devised has begun to assume the shape of an inverted pyramid," Mr. Armour said. "In other words, we have erected a still- growing social structure which is even now demanding taxes on a scale which can only be supported by a manufac- turing potential which is prospering and progressing." The Stelco economist stated that while this overloading is going on, our manufacturing potential is neither growing nor prospering on a scale requisite to the burdens still being almost daily placed upon it. "What we obviously need at this juncture is a substantial cut in both corporation and individual taxes coup- led with a very sharp reduction in government spending," Mr. Armour said. "Instead we have already been threatened with higher taxes this year, and there is no real sign that any level of government is in the slightest bit concerned with economy. Indeed, we seem still to be hypnotized- with the idea that by spending our- selves broke, we can spend ourselves prosperous, "As a consequence of our strange actions as a people we Canadians raised consumer prices between 1954 and 1960 by more than 10 percent, and at the same time average unemploy- ment as a percentage of the labour force rose from 4.5 percent to 7 per- cent." : Mr. Armour charged.that one cause of the rise in the level of unemploy- ment between 1954 and 1960 was un- doubtedly the disposition of Gana- dians to 'spend so much of their in- come on imported manufactured report indicating-that last-Saturday's next autumn's bazaar. Mrs. Becker "Today Canada is in the very un- enviable position of being by far the world's largest importer of manufac- tured goods on-a per capita basis," he stated.. "Our purchases of manufac- tured goods, many of which can or could be made in Canada, now amount to $1,000 a year for the average Cana- dian family, i "But in spite of all the warnings is- sued as to the inevitable serious ef- fects upon our economy of the buying of foreign goods which can or could be made in Canada, the public goes unhceding on its: way. .. Last year foreign cars, other than those made in the United States, were sold in Canada to the number of 125,900, That large total constituted 28 per- cent of all our new car sales in Can- ada in 1960; and the majority of such imports paid no duty.

They are Mrs. Dowson, Mrs. Dage- Mr. Germain, and Mr. and Mrs, Fuller. Members of the parish are reminded that the Anglican Women's Training College is presently conducting a drive for funds to build much-needed new accommodation for its students. Details of this campaign and the need for assistance in the training of young women for work in the church, are -to, be found on our new parish notice board in the church hall. We are drawn closer to this need by the fact that Miss Muriel New of this parish is presently in residence at the college. Her picture recently appear- ed in the Toronto Globe and Mail in conjunction with an article about the College. Mrs. Fuller, who is an A.W. T.C. graduate, is-- local chairman of Rev. Harry Robinson will accompany the fund-faising drive. On Sunday one could really believe that Spring has come. It was a won- derful day, and everything that one could desire. Our three congrega- tions were good. At Manchester our newly elected Elders Messrs. Wright Crosier and William McCartney were ordained to the Eldership. This is the office in the Church that is next to the Minister's. 'All the Elders of 'the Church constitute the Session, with the Minister as the Chairman. At Mancester also, the results of our recent campaign were made known, and the Gifts and Pledges of our peo- ple were dedicated. We sent out five teams which brought back the follow- ing results: 16 persons pledged them- selves for ........ cern $740.00 19 persons gave donations 4 in cash ........

We take this oppor- tunity to thank our teams, and all who 'received them and responded. To pledge yourself to gjve so much is quite an innovation in many of our Churches, and will therefore take time for us all to get accustomed to the idéa.

For we cannot stand people who differ from us, to work with us." In con- clusion he said "God doesn't want us to come grovelling and laying in the dust. To Saul He said, "Arise, I have work for you. Welcome home. You have been greatly missed. You are my chosen vessel, and the work of taking the good news to others has been held up, because you were so slow in responding to my Love. Read Saul's letters to the Churches and see if God wasn't right? So God in Christ waits for the scales to fall from our eyes, and to behold the world through the eyes of Love."
