gesthe spirit of rebellion ' » Bye Oshawa Times | FNS Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E,, Oshawa, Ont. Page 4 Soturday, | May 16, 1959 China's Motives Still Riddle For Observers The last embers of the Tibetan revolt against Chinese oppression were stamp- ed out by the Communist aggressors this week, according to news trickling out of that unhappy Himalayan state, But experienced observers are still seeking answers to the riddle of why China chose so brutally to suppress Tibet China has its own tremendous devel- opment program and has little funds to spend in Tibet, Virginia Kerkheide points out ina paper written for the Canadian Institute of International Af- fairs, In addition, the use of Chinese military force on the unoffensive peo- ple of Tibet has aroused world opinion against China in much the same way as the Russian crushing of the Hungar- ian revolution lowered the esteem of the Soviet Union, The Chir feel that possession and development of the Tibetan plateau are necessary to the power position which they plan to establish in relation to India and the Soviet Union, The fron- tier between the two Communist allies has never been demilitarized and the Chinese have moved substantial forces to that general area, w. China may also be trying to quell amongst other minority groups such as the Muslims of GUEST EDITORIAL ese may Sinkiang and Tsinghai and the Mongols of Inner Mongolia, Tibet was the last remaining territory with special status in the new Chinese empire, It is also possible that the Communists decided to make an example of Tibet as a warning to minority groups within their jurisdiction who might be tempts ed to rebel or other Asian nations which might be considering closer ties with the West, Action in Tibet, an area not covered by the Manila Treaty and in a location where SEATO would not even consider intervention, served as a safe exhibit of the determination of the Peking regime to establish a se- curity zone of its own, Whatever the motives behind the ev. ents in Tibet, it is clear that the use of force in Tibet, like the action in the Formosa Straits, is a warlike act, com= mitted by the Chinese with full knowl edge and responsibility for the c(nse~ quences, While it is difficult to compre- hend the psychology of the leaders of the People's Republic of China because of lack of accurate information about them, it is certalh that way is a quick« er way to world power than peaceful penetration and subversion, If Peking could arrange to provoke the West, and the Soviet Union into a nuclear war, the Chinese would be certain to emerge in the most favorable position, 'Art Thou In Health?' By the Rev. Dr. G. Telford Andrew's United Church, Oshawa Art thou in health" was a common greeting among ancient Bible folks. It was a courteous way of enquiring about a friend's or neighbor's well-being, In these modern days we content our- selves with a formal "How do you do" or even the informal "Hi" without ex- pecting any information about the friend's health, But "Art thou in health" is a good question, and it assumes a real Interest in other's welfare, It re- minds us that we are all health cons- cious today, perhaps more than ever before Being healthy is, of course, a physi cal matter. Civilized nations are all highly organized today for the fight with disease and for preservation of bodily health, Great sums are spent on safeguarding health, and vast develop- ments have taken place in the means employed for this benign purpose, The results are apparent and they offer the greatest encouragement for those car- rying on the age-old war against illness and disease, There is universal approval for ev. ery effort to diminish physical ills and improve our weapons for war against sickness, There is not such universal concern regarding moral health, Yet if we believe the Bible, that is a more pressing than even physical health, A man can be a mignificent an- Comparison I'he Canadian family man with in. come in excess of $5,000 per year pays more income tax than his United States counterpart says CCH Canadian Limit- ed, national reporting authority on tax and business law The Canadian married man with two children under 1€ and an income of $10,000 per year will pay $132 more come tax after July 1, 1950 than his American cousin and if he has five chil- dren 16, his tax will be $333 higher than that of the U.S. father of five in the same income bracket, in spite of the fact that U.S. tax rates are higher than the new Canadian rates.

A man may be physically healthy and morally worthy and yet lack completion without spiritual health, The soul of man needs God and the spiritually healthy person must be in enjoyment of friendship with God. The body after all is meant to be a temple of the Holy Spirt, The Christian Church is in the busi. ness of ministering health to men, It preaches the healing love of Christ and tries to set up habits preventive of sickness both of body and soul, It holds out a great promise of health in its tre- mendous affirmation "If any man be in Christ he is a new creature."

The Canadian bachelor enjoys a $1,000 exemption plus a $100 standard deduc- tion while the American has a $600 exemption and ¢ 10 per cent of income (maximum $1,000) standard deduction, The US, bachelor with an income of $3,000 pays $134 more tax than his Ca= nadian counterpart and if he is in the $10,000 bracket his tax is $166 higher. At the $25000 level the single US, taxpayer pays $941 more than the Ca- nadian enjoying unmarried bliss The payment of income tax constitutes to some extent a day of reckoning There is a constant demand that the government do this or the government do that, Often there is very little con- sideration as to where the money is coming from, but there is only one source and that is the people Other Editor's Views PRICE SELVES OUT OF JOBS (Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph) Canadian seamen have struck them. selves out of jobs, by pricing Canadian services beyond the world market In this is a grin warning that Cana- da as a whole must do something to re. gain a competitive position.

The veteran Liberal and former premier can hold an audience, and also make them laugh The other night he told a meet- ing that Premier Frost had been eritical of him, "Mr. Frost," he said, 'in the last election appar. ently told an audience that in 40 years in public life I had done nothing except listen to Mitch Hepburn's jokes "Well that is Mr, Frost's opin fon. But there is at least one thing 1 can tell him I have done, "In 40 vears I have fought and won 11 elections. 1 am now mak. ing it an even dozen.

LIQUOR FIGHTER Mr, Nixon has landed up in a strange niche A most sober man in both thought and action he has turned up As the Liberal s liquor oritie And he has promised he will have much to say about the province's "absurd and hypocrit. fecal" liquor laws One of the "absurdities." he notes, is the liquor permit. He alleges it controls' nothing and its only contribution is a million and a quarter cash for the treass wry Another is the fact that the permit says liquor is to be con. sumed only Wn one's own home. Which means, Mr. Nixon says, that legally you can't take a drink in a friend's home Perhaps we really might hear a bit about liquor in this cam. paign : The governnont doesn't want to talk about it. But it might be forced to Mr, Nixon--and also Mr. Win. termeyer--saye his party doesn't favor a free and easy liquor pol. fey gut he does believe there should be a revision in: policy Pertinently there should be laws which the public can and will obey and which can and will be enforced In this last he gets a powerful assist from the Grand Jury which a few days aso brought down a strong indictment charging: lack of vitorcement in bars Practically everybedy ar cluding Mr. Frost that Ontario's liquor laws "absurd. * But the question of legislating On Knows are for liquor is Just as difficult as the question of drinking it is for many people To date the government has been able in the main to evade facing that difficulty, . . . Mr, Nixon is right, it has not figured in any recent elections In this election, however, it may be forced to recognize it Incidentally, In recalling vet. eran CCF'ers we overlooked that Bill Temple, that great foe of Barleycorn, is back again con. testing Toronto High Park.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON A major political: religious controversy which may have its effect on general elec: tion results Is brewing and is in intensity iv the United , It is reminiscent of the controversy which arose in On. tario politics during the regime of the late Mitchell ¥. Hepburn, and the lssue Is the same -- the making of grants of public funds to assist in the building of Roman Cath olic secondary schools The British row, however, Is somewhat different from thé On. tario one in that it cuts right across party lines, It arises from the scheme which is being put forward by the government to subsidize \the building of Roman Catholic secondary schools, as well as Church of England schools , The Free Churches have declared their implacable opposi- tion to these grants, describing them as a subsidy of between 10 and 15 million pounds for the of Roman Catholic doc. trine, Leaders. of the (ree Churches are meeting with Non. Conformist members of parlia. ment, Socialists and Conge va. tives, to wage a bitter fight against the proposed plan DIFFICULT POSITION These members aie cult position, The, Roman Catholics will time against candidates who op- pose state ald for thelr schools On the other hand, they are de. manding that the Free Church leaders should be just as out. spoken, and rhould mobilize the Nonconformist vote in thelr sup In a diff} fear te use their The Soclalists, of the two par. ties, are in the more embarrass ing position, The Welsh Socialists are the spearhead ¢f the Non- conformist group. On the other hand, it is accepted that the majority of Roman Catholics nor- mally vote Socialist, So that on the question of whether there should be state ald for new Schools, they are between the devil and the deep sea QUEBEC POSSIBILITY Do not discount the possibility of the summit conference be. tween Mr, Khrushchev and the heads of the western powers be. ing held in Quebec, It is definite ly under consideration, 1 have learned from an authoritative source, Five places are listed as possible locations Vienna, Gen. eva, New York, San Francisco and Quebec At the moment, British opinion is inclined in favor of Vienna, because of cer tain psychological factors in- volved. New York can be ruled out, and for a reason which indi. cates that the date of the summit meeting is already in the minds of the British government Mr, Macmillan has stated quite bluntly that it would be far too hot in New York for a meeting in August, There is little enthus- lasm here for San Francisco as the meeting place, although it is being strongly mentioned in Unit. ed States circles, So the selection seems to boll down to Quebec or Geneva, with memories of the abortive Geneva conference of 155 militating against its selec: tion, I have also learned, authori. tatively, that the British govern ment is not too optimistic about the prospects of a successful out come of the present foreign min. isters' meeting in Geneva, It will be either a short conference end- ing in failure or a long-drawn out session ending In a moderate measure of success, The key to the situation Is Khrushchev's bluntly - expressed view that foreign ministers are useless fifth - wheel appendages to the governmental coaches, So far as Russia is concerned, he pn makes the decisions, and his for- eign ministers may well have been instructed to agree to noth. ing at the Geneva maeting, other than the making of arangements for the summit meeting.
