@ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, March 17, 1953 Editorials The Dally Times-Gazetle (Oshawa, Whitby), by 57 Simcoe Street South, Oshéwa, Ontario Time Will Tell Whether Malenkov Really Sincere In his oration, at the funeral of the late Premier Stalin, his successor Premier Malen- kov, expressed his intentions of pursuing a policy of peace. Speaking on Sunday to more than 1,000 members of the Supreme Soviet, Malenkov enlarged on this theme, and was even more specific in his expression of a con- viction that any problems between capital- ist and communist countries can be solved by peaceful means. These were his words: "At the present and in the future, there is no such troublesome or unsolved questions which , cannot be solved by peaceful means." This, he said, applied to the Soviet Union's relations with all other countries, including the United States. It was significant, too, that there was a decided change in the tone of his speech as compared with those which have been made by other Soviet leaders, including Stalin. There was no baiting of the Americans as "warmongers" or "imperialists," usually a favorite theme in Communist speeches. Mal- enkov's declaration that his new govern- ment's policies are based on respect for the rights of other countries, strict adherence to treaties and development of business re- lations with all nations, either communist or capitalistic, seems, on the face of it, to be heralding the dawn of a new day in Soviet diplomacy. These statements make one wonder whe- ther the new regime in Russia is really inter- ested in trying to improve its relations with nations of the free morld. One wonders if Malenkov is really sincere in his protesta- tions of a desire for peaceful solution of all outstanding differences. Can his words be accepted at face value, or will they, as has been the case with Soviet leaders in the past be the negation of Soviet action. Time alone will tell whether Malenkov is sincere, or whether he is merely trying to lull the demo- cracies into a false sense of security while the insidious Communist campaign of infil- tration into the affairs of other countries continues at an accelerated pace. Flood Fund Nearing Its Close Mayor W. John Naylor has announced that the fund for relief of British and Euro- pean flood victims is to be officially closed on Monday of next week. This fund was open- pd by Mayor Naylor early on the morning of February 2, when the first news of the flood disasters came into The Times-Gazette office over the Canadian Press wires. It is believed that this was the first fund started by any Canadian municipality for relief of the flood victims. Up to the present, a sum of close to $16,- POO has been built up by local citizens and organizations. This is indeed a splendid res- ponse to the call of distress and dire need, and Oshawa's contribution will compare very favorably with that of any other city in the Dominion. Our citizens were quick to give and generous in their giving, and it is to their credit that this large sum has been made available by their voluntary contribu- tions. The mayor's announcement of the closing of the fund next Monday means that only a few more days remain for the receiving of donations to Oshawa's flood relief fund. Dur- ing this period, it is hoped that those who have been deferring their contributions will take advantage of the opportunity to in- crease Oshawa's total well above the $16,000 mark which has been reached. The needs of the flood victims for rehabilitation are be- yond all telling. Many millions of dollars will be required to make good the flood damage. Canada as a whole will make a substantial contribution towards meeting these great needs, and Oshawa's share should be as large as the generosity of all its citizens can make it. We look for the last few days of the fund campaign to bring the fund up to a total which will be truly worthy of this generous- hearted community. Tito's Visit to Britain Vital There is top-ranking news in the fact that Marshal Tito, the Red dictator of Yugoslav- fa, is in Britain paying a visit to Prime Min- ister Winston Churchill, and to engage in talks with the highest British cabinet mini- sters and officials, The purposes of his visit are, as is natural, clothed in secrecy, but the fact that he has gone to Britain at all has Jet loose a great flood of interested specula- tion. Marshal Tito is making a daring move in his visit to Britain. While his regime is still one of Marxian Communism, he is no longer within the orbit of the Soviet Union. It is now five years since he was read out of the Cominform because his government follow- ed: too nationalistic a line to be acceptable to the Soviet chiefs in Moscow. Since then, he has followed a clearly marked line of inde- pendence, and has let Russia know very plainly that he does not consider his country one of its satellites. This, naturally, aroused the ire of the men of Moscow, and their anger has been further stimulated by his Editorial Notes tos visit to London may be a good thing for him. It will at least show him what it is like to live in a real democracy. Former president Truman is to receive some $600,000 for his memoirs, which makes one wonder if he appreciates what inflation has done for him.

Thus it is not surprising that the visit of Tito to London has been provocative of keen interest in the chancelleries of Europe, and in the United States. Does it signify his willingness to make an even closer alliance with the free democracies? Does it indicate that he is fearful of Russian intervention in the affairs of country, and is looking for as- surance of British and United States assist- ance should a break come in the near future? These are questions which are being asked and the importance of which cannot be gain- said. It may be that the result of his talks with British leaders will bring a new, pow- erful and strategically-placed ally to the side of NATO, and may even bring his country within the scope of that alliance. And that would indeed be a gain for the free nations which aretendeavoring to build a strong bul- wark against Soviet aggression.

WHY DO WE HAVE SHELLS LANDING IN MY REAR ? \N OTHER WORDS, 1 WOULD LIKE A DEFINITION OTTAWA REPORT Canadian NATO Clause Seen World's By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazetite OTTAWA--In this column I have sometimes referred to the North Atlantic Treaty that 'unknown' pact which, at Canada's insist ence, is like no previous treaty in history. It not only provides for mutual assistance between the treaty powers in the event of mil. itary attack against any of them; but as far-sightedly proposed by Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. L. B. Pearson it also contains the un- precedented Article 2 or "Cana- dian Clause" by which the democ- racies forming the North Atlantic Community pledge similar c eration and mutual assistance in the non-military fields, Mr. Pearson foresees this Atlan- tic Community as a permanent his- torical friendship, developing into a much closer relationship. "Our North Atlantic alliance," be says, 'may provide the fonud- ation for .a great co-operative ec- onomic commonwealth of the west- ern world, which one day may be- come a 'political commonwealth. You may say that this is unreal- istic nonsense, but I suggest that in this atomic age no vision less than this will do." Thinking men of all political parties (except communists) in all North Atlantic nations see in these developments, forecast by Mr. Pearson, our greatest hope for peace, prosperity and security: namely, a United States of the North Atlantic which, having three times the area, resources and pop- ulation of the United States of America, would have three times the economic prosperity and mili- tary strength of that federal union. THE UNKNOWN TREATY The Canadian people have never had these aims and possibilities of the North Atlantic eaty Organ- ization clearly explained to them. A recent poll of public opinion showed that only one Canadian in every 5 even knows what NATO is. Great Hope In spite of this widepsread publie orance, statesmen repeatedly in- t that public opinion does not want this promised Utopia to be created, Only last week Lord Is- may, secretary-general of NATO, said here that he "does not think the time is ripe for closer co- operation between the NATO allies in the economic and political fields." : Yet if here, and no doubt in other NATO countries, only two per cent of the population know of the peace and prosperity offered by the Canadian Clause, then pub- lic opinion cannot honestly be cal- led opposed to this Utopia. 0-0P- AMERICAN HISTORY Historians tell us that for seven years professional politic ians thwarted the welding of the 13 American colonies into the Un- ited States. At last Americans of action and goodwill, who had been fighting and not talking, listened to the advice of their general George Washington. He begged them to "ignore what the politic- ians say is public opinion, and to raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair.' The resulting grass roots demand led to the creation of the U. S, A. Jack MacDougall, MP for Van- couver-Burrard, has repeated his challenge: that it is the duty of the Prime Minister and of Parlia- ment to remove the great measure of misunderstanding through the length and breadth of Canada, and to tell the public what NATO could mean, ..The Canadian Clause of course offers a program more attractive than the best of the Liberal, Con- servative, CCF and Socred pro- grams rolled into one. Jack MacDougall and his fellow- thinkers may yet prove to be the George Washingtons of 20th cen- tury Canada in raising a standard to which the wise and honest citi- zens may rally in the cause of life, liberty, prosperity and the pursuit of happiness. READERS' VIEWS \ Tribute To Austria For Anti-Communist Stand The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir, Permit me to expand a little on your comments on the recent elections in Austria, the country of my birth. Austria, for centries the hub of a world wide empire which at times encompassed most of Europe and of the then known America, does not know race hatred. Aus- trians, a mixture of many national- ities themselves, do not dislike Russians as such. They detest, however, regimen- * tation and totalitarianism of any kind. That they have kept their little country free from Commun- ist rule and that they: have put down the Communist attempt to take over two years ago, is an admirable feat if you consider that the Russian army has Vienna + partly and the provinces of Lower- Austria and Burgenland wholly oc- cupied. This is mainly attributable to the strong, well organized, tradition proud Austrian labour movement and the equally strong Social-Dem- ocratic, or as it would be called here, Democratic-Socialist Party. It was the workers who literally beat down the Communists and threw them out of the factories and public buildings they had al- ready occupied, right under the nose of the Soviet army. It was the workers, and the workers alone who defended freedom and dem- ocracy on that memorable day in Austria. The best bulwark against Com- munism and fascism is a healthy labour movement and a strong so- cial-democratic party. If this were not so, Austria would have turned Communist long ago. And if ever the day should come that the Iron Curtain goes down West of Vienna, the Danube will be red from blood for a long time: the workers of Austria will not submit to tyranny without a fight. Yours, sincerely, F. VON PILIS Whitby, March 14, 1953, NOMINATED MODERATOR TORONTO (CP)--Rev. Charles 8. Oke of Merritton has been nomi- nated moderator of the next gen eral assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada by the presby- tery of Niagara, The presbytery also nominated Rev. E. C. McCul- laugh of Dunnville as moderator of the synod of Hamilton and London. MAC'S MUSINGS A sure sign that the Old days are passing Is seen in a report of A city council meeting In Guelph, where a plea Was made for the removal Of an old concrete trough Where horses used to drink, And which in bygone days Provided an oasis for Tired an thirsty equines. The plea was made that There are no longer any Horses on Guelph streets To make use of it, and Instead of being a good thing Of great utility as it was In these earlier days, It is now regarded as A useless eyesore. So here we have another Sign that days are Indeed changed, and now We very rarely see Horses on the streets, Other than the few still Used in delivery wagons, And even these have for The most part been Replaced by motor trucks, The old water-trough is Undoubtedly a relic of More leisurely and kindly Days when horses were The main beast of burden, And municipal councils Regarded them so highly That they willingly Placed the troughs by the Side of the road so that They could enjoy the Cool water on hot days. But in this age of speed The horse is too slow To meet our needs, and With it is passing the Amenities which its use Made necessary in every Village, town and city, So that instead of the Wate-trough the most Essential needs of our Modern transportation Demand service stations. READERS' VIEWS Suggests New Civic Emblem The Editor, The Times-Gazette. Sir: Regarding the adoption of "The Rose" as an emblem for Oshawa, as a 40 year citizen, as a taxpayer and as a pedestrian who invariably has to pass behind cars at our stop streets and receive the fumes from the rear of cars, 1 suggest some thought be given by our city Fathers to an alter- native emblem namely "An Ex- haust "Pipe Rampant."" Of course this is only a suggestion but I pass it on before I fall an early victim to "Exhaustpipeitus." « Yours sufferingly, HARRY STAFFORD. | ----_ FIND CRASHED PLANE KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters)-- The wreckage of an Orient Air- ways liner which disappeared Fri- day with 16 on board has been found in the Indian state of Tri- pura, the defence nounced Monday night, The main body of the rescue party, travell- ing by jeeps and elephants, is still struggling through thick jungle to reach the site, the ministry said.

QUEEN'S PARK Premier Blows His Top In Castigating Reaume DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent To The Times-Gazette TORONTO Premier Frost really blew his top on Thursday. In the dozen years we have been watching the premier only once before have we seen him so_bitter as he was with the Liberals' Arthur Reaume. A few years ago he lit into tellin Charles Millard, the labor leader and then CCF member for West York, one night. Mr. Millard had inferred that members of the gov- ernment might be taking graft. Mr. Frost was on his feet before the accusation was hardly out of the member's mouth and he gave him a dressing down that was more in the manner of George Drew than our present mild, pa- tient and courteous premier, He was mad, PERSONAL ATTACK Mr. Reaume got an equally strong dressing down. It is hard to say just what got Mr. Frost going. The Liberal member and mayor of Windsor had made a short speech on the Toronto bill. It was critical, but it wasn't par- Heulaply strong. And there wasn't any thing in the way of personal implication in it the way there had been with Mr. Millard. But it got under the premier's skin. And he in his turn was personal. And he delivered an attack that not only amazed Mr. Reaume but other members of the House as well. REAUME AWAY Three separate times he men- tioned that the Liberal member had been absent from the House. (He has been away quite a bit. Partly because of his dentristry, already noted here. And partly because of certain civic matters in Windsor), He accused him of having switched his party allegiance. (One member of the present ¢ab- inet has the same 'black mark" against him, though we don't know if 'Mr. Frost is aware of this). And he spent 20 'minutes spiritedly the house that Mr, Reaume EHOW what he was talking about. All to a back-ground of a barrage of desk-thumping from hia supporters. DOESN'T LIKE One suspects there is a personal dislike on the part of the premier for Mr. Reaume, It is the only explanation that stands up in view of the tenor of his attack. It is quite reasonable, of course, that there should be. The Windsor mayor is a strong individualist and he has changed his party al- legiance not once but twice at least. He also has been the storm centre of many controversies. Such things don't sit well with Mr. Frost. ALL TO GOOD Our own experience with the Windsor mayor has been quite pleasant, He has been a bit out of his depth here so far. But where others have questioned his sincerity we have to say that to date he seems to believe in what he is doing, even if his approach is unorthodox. A good parliament should have all opinions and all types. And Mr. Reaume is a type somewhat apart. He has a contribution to make. And it is also good to see the premier blow occasionally, It shows another side of him, an- other aspect of his human side. Alcoholism Gains Early Action Plan TORONTO (CP)--Exanded fa- cllities for the treatment of alco- holics in Ontario are being planned in Ontario. The provincial government, through the alcoholism research foundation, intends to set up more than 20 treatment clinics during the next 10 years. Health Minister Mackinnon Phil- lips saild in legislature recently, these clinics will be small at the start, but will be expanded as the needs of the communities grow. Cities with medical schools will be the first to get clinics. Inclu- ded in this group are Ottawa, London, Kingston and probably Hamilton, where a medical school is planned, Next in line are cities of sizable population with large surrounding territories, such as Fort William, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, North Bay, Timmins and Windsor. Dr. Phillips also tabled the sec- ond annual report of the research foundation, which showed that 53 'per cent of the persons treated at the foundation's Toronto clinic in the last two years have remained sober. But the minister cautioned against over-optimism. He said def- inite conclusions on the success of treatment cannot be obtained un- til the foundation has been operat- ing at least five years. He said some measures should be taken against the unvestricted sale of barbiturates and other sed- atives, because alcoholics often turn to them after they stop drink- ing Br. Phillips said Alcoholics Anon- ymous has proven of great value in the foundation's work. AA often sends patients to the foundation, tation after medical treatment is over. "Once a person becomes an al- coholic he can never drink again,' the minister said. 'Rehabilitation goes on as long as he lives. You can see the job AA is doing." He said studies showed a high percentage of alcoholics have bet~ ter-than-average education. Thirty one per cent of these studied by the foundation had grade 13 or better, about twice the proportion of the average community.
