The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont. Poge 4 Wednesday, April 1, 1959 Promotion Of Canadian Travel To Save Dollars A big step towards adjustment of Ca- nada's dollar deficit with the United States would be taken if more Canad- lang could be persuaded to spend their holiday in their own country, Canad- lang spend far more in the United States than Americans spend here, A combination of factors serves to lurg Canadians to the United States, Climate has a lot to do with it -- the prospect of lolling around in a warm sunt while Canada freezes, But the pre- sumed weather advantage is built as much on legend as on reality, a legend cunningly constructed by advertising publicity. Many holidayers who gone south seeking the sun in De- ber, January and February have und themselves shivering just as uch as if they had stayed at home -- nd shivering at very fancy prices. Ex- cellent promotion, however, has sold large numbers of Canadians the idea that to find fun, sun and be fashionable In the winter-time, they must leave Ca- nada, In recent years, improved promotion Winter's Dirt As the snow and ice disappear from Oshawa streets they reveal an accumu- lation of winter grime, and since the snow-cover has been fairly constant since late November, there is more than the customary accumulation of grime, The result is that the city is filthy. Little can be done yet to clean lawns and gardens. But surely something can be done to make streets, particularly those in the business section, more pre- sentable, Dirt is piled in the gutters, Chunks of grimy ice and the refuse of a winter--old papers, chocolate bar wrappers, cigarette packages and so on --litter sidewalks, laneways and empty lots. has been given to the Canadian travel industry, but there is still room for im- provement, The Financial Post wants to know "what's holding up the report on the Canadian tourist industry? It was spon= sored jointly by federal and provincial governments, transportation companies and the Canadian Tourist Association, and was prepared at a cost of $40,000, Now it is announced that 'the report will not be made public at this time." The Financial Post observes that while there are sections that probably will re- main confidential, there are other sec tions, particularly the opinion survey, which could well be of interest and use to the general public, The survey could be especially helpful in "tailoring ad- vertising and promotion to meet the needs and demands of the modern trav- eler, And in this respect it is not just the big advertisers who need some gui- dance. Local boards of trade and other associations nromoting travel could benefit." Revealed Householders and merchants can do much to improve the appearance of their properties and streets, but it would seem that they need an example to follow -- and the city should pro- vide that example. Indeed, the cleanli- ness of streets is primarily a civic res ponsibility, Oshawa has not been remarkable in the past for its spick-and-span appear- ance, Now would be a good time to start changing that situation. A cam- paign to "Keep Oshawa Clean" could work wonders, with eivic authorities providing the impetus and enlisting the support of all organizations interested in civic improvement Premier's Showmanship Premier Smallwood of Newfound- land is a superb political showman, Witness his latest flamboyant gesture-- his offer to resign if Prime Minister Diefenbaker will "treat Newfoundland fairly and give us a fair deal." In one interview he manages to pic- ture himself as a martyr, a champion of his province's rights, and a citizen so public spirited that he denies himself the joys and satisfactions of a private vocation because he knows that it is his duty to remain a politician, In his own words: "l had frankly hoped that on this 10th anniversary of confederation | would see our financial agreement with the federal government brought to a successful conclusion and that province secure so that I might make this a good time to drop out of politics. But the loggers' strike and the handling of fin- ancial assistance from the federal gov- .foundland. He has also very ernment means that I am stuck. IT cer- tainly will stay and see it through , . . If Mr, Difenbaker is punishing New foundland because of my successful op- position, then I am willing to remove myself from the scene." He said his "highest ambitions" for the past two or three years ha. been to quit and return to writing, but such a move would now mean 'deserting my job and Newfound- land." Mr. Smallwood obviously himself to be indispensable considers to New=- cleverly done much to convince Newfoundland- ers that he is indispensable. When his showmanship is stripped away, how- ever, it becomes increasingly clear that Newfoundland at this time could do with less showmanship and more states- manship -- and Mr. Smallwood has still to demonstrate that he is capable of the latter Differences In North It has become a custom to compare Canada's northern development with that of the Soviet Union, A geographer at the University of Alberta, William C. Wonders, points out in his contribu- tion to a symposium, "The Canadian Northwesy" that there are significant differences =m the two areas, A good deal of the Russian north does not experience so harsh a climate as does the Canadian northwest. The for- mer is also closer to heavily populated areas, an important factor in settlement. A good many of the settlers in the Rus- sian north are not there by choice. And the Soviet government is deeply com- mitted to a policy of northern develop- ment, All this helps to explain why the Russian north is home to 4.500,000 peo~ ple, one in 47 of the total population, while only 32,000 Canadians live north of the 60th degree of latitude Despite the more unfavorable fac- tors in the Canadian north, however, T.

Other Editor's Views Advanced Russian Student (Time Magazine) The latest Russian joke going the rounds in London is the story of an in- spector from the Moscow school system who drops into a classroom and asks the teacher: "Have you any exception- ally bright students?" "We have one," says the teacher. 'He's a year ahead of all the others." Little Ivan is pushed in front of the inspector to be questioned. "Who are the three biggest traitors in the history of the Soviet Union?" "Stal jn..." "Correct." ""Malenkov .,." "Correct." And Khrushchev." "You're absolutely right," says the inspector turning to the teacher. "He is a year ahead." Bible. Thoughts Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also the God of the Gentiles? --Romans 3:29.

Does reason for the failure of so many cities to reach their targets in the Com- munity Chest campaign last year lie in the fact that people are critical of the administration cost, or is there too little personal in. terest aroused? Many campaign managers have declared that the people were 'stingy. Others be- lieve the amounts of maney re. quired now have become too great, For the first time, true. ans wers to public attitudes on the United Appeal campaigns are re. ported by the Gallup Poll, The Mne-up below defines just how strong the various criticisms are. By far the largest explanation is that the targets are too high. "People just haven't got the money -- what with the high cost of living and unemployment" say the biggest segment of the pub- lic. Next to this belief comes the opinion that there are too many campaign appeals Interviewers for the Poll rang doorbells in the homes of the rich and poor, old and young, to ask adult men and women in a scientific cross . section of the nation a direct question: "AS YOU MAY KNOW, THE COMMUNITY CHEST (UNITED OTTAWA REPORT APPEAL) CAMPAIGNS IN A NUMBER OF CANADIAN CIT.

Maritimers and Quebec province are most likely to think that people are less generous than they were. In Ontario and the West a far larger proportion are inclined to criticize the num. ber of campaigns than in the NATO Originally Economic Pact By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA----Canada, as this col- umn recently pointed out, ago agreed to form a trade al- liance with her allies is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), to improve the living standards of us all. But so much emphasis has al. ready been placed upon the mili tary side of NATO that it can never become the cold war ec. onomic alliance as was originally planned. NATO is irreparably dubbed a military partnership; if at this late date the attempt were made to place a ploughshare in its left hand, when its right hand has so long wielded a sword, its motives would be distrusted throughout the world Some vehicle other than NATO must now be devised for the widely valued and newly essen. tial proposals which Canada in- corporated into the NATO treaty. Today, six of our NATO allies have already formed themselves into the European Common Mar. ket, which has already actually begun to reduce tariffs, 'and which will undoubtedly improve living standards and create more assured employment within those six nations. Seven other NATO al- lies, all in Europe, are seeking ways and means to associate themselves with that promised prosperity. In the United States, the legislature has heard de- mands that other free nations join with her in closer trading as sociations, which John Foster Dulles has declared are '"'essen- tial for the peace of the United States." WHITHER OUR TRADE? What meanwhile has Canada the parent of NATO's "Canadian Clause" undertaking mutual help in trade, been doing, in the ten years since we initiated and joined the hot war and cold war partnership called NATO? The British offered us a free trade deal: we might have found that attractive, if we had sat down at the conference table and disc ~d possible delimitations, But ignored that offer. and have Jone nothing in any direc: long' tion about our cold war alliance, in spite of the warning words spoken by Soviet leader Khrush- chev: 'We declare war upon you-- excuse me for using such an ex- pression--in the peaceful field of trade. We declare a war which we will win, The threat to you is not the intercontinental ballistic missile, but in the field of peace- ful production. We are relentless in this, and it will prove the su- periority of our system." SOVIET TRADE WAR The deepest impression among the many made upon Prime Min. ister John Diefenbaker during his recent world tour in Asia was possibly his realization that there the Soviet bloc is indeed fighting us in an allout world war, by means of a trade offensive. Through a brilliantly clever trade war, in which all the Com. munist satellite . countries are fighting willy - nilly by her side, Russia is striving to draw the na. tions of Asia, the millions in Asia, into her orbit. If she suc- ceeds there, she will the more easily do the same in Africa. Russia will then be poised to win the final battle against us in a bloodless cold war, Saskatch- ewan will be within measurable distance of becoming a Commu. nist collective farm: the average Canadian weekly factory wage will plummet to the equivalent of $14 now ruling in other Soviet sat- ellite countries: some 75 per cent of our farm, factory and mine produce will be compulsorily ex- ported: travels outside Canada will be banned for holidaying families; we will kiss farewell to Californian oranges, Jamaican similar luxiry imports.
