fie Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont, Poge 6 Soturdoy, March 5, 1960 West German Minister Makes A Weak Defence Defence Minister Strauss of West Germany is not a stupid man, but he seems to suffer from an old Teutonic fault, that of considering other people stupid. He continues to defend his pro- ject for securing military bases in Spain for West Germany, saying "We are doing nothing but securing the vital founda- tions of our people"; and he suggests that the Western nations should recog- nize that "constant disparagement" of Chancellor Adenauer and his policies helped only the Soviet Union. Did Strauss and his colleagues think they were acting in good faith when they started the project for Spanish bases? If so, they must be incredibly naive or dangerously cynical. In the first place, they showed con- tempt for NATO. Unilateral action such as they proposed was bound to raise a storm of protest, and rightly so; it was a step to be taken only after thorough consultation within the North Atlantic Council. In the second place, the project was well calculated to rouse public opinion throughout the West--to revive through- out the Western alliance the bitter memory of Nazi-Fascist co-operation in a civil war in Spain which turned out to be a sort of dress rehearsal by the Rome-Berlin axis for the greater war, The U.S. administration has been play- ing footsie with Franco and his Fascist regime, but that does not mean to say that most Americans like it, any more than people in other Western nations. Indeed, all the Scandinavian members of NATO and large sections of public opinion in nearly all NATO countries have opposed the bringing of Franco Spain into closer association with the alliance. In the third fuss about German bases in Spain could not help but be politically troublesome at a time when the Western powers are trying to unify their positions prepara- tory to talks with Moscow about the future of Berlin. It be that Adenauer, Strauss and company wanted such a fuss, since they are not happy about the forthcoming summit talks. place, the inevitable may well Roads To Happiness Medical experts now tell us that un- happiness causes the illnesses of half the patients in a general practitioner's office. Dr. David Landers, an Albertan physi- cian, told the College of General Prac- tice of Canada this week, for instance, that disease from peptic ulcers to hypertension to asthma to frigidity in women can be emotional in origin--and when a doctor says a disease is emotional in origin, he does not mean it is imaginary. A nag- ging wife, a nasty boss, an irritable mother--such factors as these can bring about anything from sore backs to skin rash. Dr. Landers thinks general titioners should study psychotherapy in order to help their patients with their emotional troubles. There are, of course, other ways of dealing with the problem. Probably the quickest would be to eli- minate all nasty bosses, irritable moth- ers, etc., but this is hardly practiceable, since the sufferers are probably outvoted by the causes of their suffering. There is another way, one which already has a precedent. That is to doctor the com- munal drinking water. prac- If it is proper to put a chemical into water to help prevent the decay of some children's teeth, would it not be proper to put in some more chemical to soothe the nerves of emotionally dis- turbed people? Think of the doctors' bills that could be simply by dumping a few bushels of tranquillizers some saved into the municipal reservoir. Think what happiness would spread over the land-- no nagging no "little Caesar" bosses, no ulcers, no sore backs, mothers-in-law, no acne. With the nation in a state of euph- rasy, of there's a good chance that there would also be no struggle, no competition, no ambition, no hustle and no bustle. Life would be just one course, long happy giggle. Industries would close down tothe sound of the joyous laughter of employers and employees. The tax collectors would simply smile sweetly when the taxpayers forgot their returns. Elections would be postponed with the opposition parties agreeing cheerily that eampaigning would be much too much of a disturbing chore. We'd all be on the way to the poorhouse, but the journey would be a happy one. At that point, perhaps, someone might think of another chemical to restore our aggressiveness while keeping us happy-- to create a nation of smiling tigers. we'd better just leave the Perhaps problem to thie general practitioners. Refusal By Mr. Argue Speaking in Toronto the other day, Hazen Argue, parliamentary leader of the CCF, had some harsh things to say about groups of newspapers operating single ownership. He gave the impression that newspaper wielded too much strength in the fight for public opinion and that such strength was not always used in the interests of the people as a whole. under "chains" The Calgary Herald, one of the news- papers owned by the Southam com- pany, promptly invited Mr. Argue to visit its offices, to sit in on editorial con- ferences, talk with employees and spend enough time in the establishment to examine and understand its methods of operation -- all at the expense of the newspaper. Mr. Argue just as promptly rejected the invitation, calling it "improper" and dhe Oshawa Times J. L. WILSON, Publisher and General Manager C.

The Herald replied that Mr. Argue was unwilling to take any step which might interfere with his pre- judices, and was frightened by the possi- bility that he might learn that capitalists could behave decently. An apt comment on the exchange is made by the Peterborough Examiner: "There are too many people in Can- ada of Mr. Argue's type of mind. We do not refer to his Socialist convictions, but to his refusal to believe that political opponents can be anything but his base. It is not enough to complain that a business is a monopoly; it must also be shown that the monopoly works against the public interest. Canada is full of monopolies; some of them are capitalist like the Bell others are monopolies, Telephone Company; socialist mono- polies, like the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Which of those two gouges and flouts and public? "The idea of the bowelless, domineer- ing Monopoly is dear to people who professionally play the role of Under Dog. There are many monopolies . . . which are operated by honorable men and by intelligent ;men. Their intelli- gence tells them that if they abuse the public and gouge it, they will quickly lose their advantage. The only mono- polies exempt from this law of business are those operated by governments, and catchee eventually public opinion up even with them."

HORSE OF ANOTHER COLOR UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Bonn's Bid For Spanish Bases Rouses Distrust By M. Mcintyre Hood Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON Distrust of West Germany by the British public has reached a new high level as a result of the revelations of nego- tiations between the West Ger- many government and Spain for military bases in that country. This distrust has not been ex- pressed in official circles, which have been inclined to soft-pedal criticism of the German actions. But in all section of the press, and in expressions of public opin- jon through letters to the editors of the national newspapers, there has been a vein of suspicion that the West German government has been trying to indulge in some double-dealing behing the backs of its NATO allies. While the Daily Telegraph takes a rather moderate line, ana refers to the incident as "Bonn's Blunder" as if it were merely a piece of unintentional foolishness, the Evening Standard of the Beaverbrook press does not pul: any punches. It says editorially: CAN HE BE TRUSTED "But can Dr. Adenauer really be trusted? Can the German for- ces really be relied upon to obey only the orders of the NATO com- manders? These are the insistent questions prompted by Dr Ade- nauer"s approach to Spain. In- evitably, this move will revive memories of the twenties, when the German Vehrmacht survived despite all efforts to control it --by containing training facilities in Russia, There could hardly be a more ominous precedent." The British government is great- ty perturbed over the incident, not because Germany acted as a sov- ereign state without consulting its NATO allies, but because coming at a time when the Western Pow- ers are preparing for a summif conference with Russia, the West Germany blunder may imperil seriously the moves toward re- lieving world tension and promot. ing world peace. GAITSKELL SCORED Hugh Gaitskell has scored over his opponents within the ranks of his own party. He carried the national executive with him in his plans to begin the review of the nationalization clause of the So cialist party on March 16, the date previously agreed upon, He saw with relish his chief critics within the party executive, Har- old Wilson, Anthony Greenwood and Richard Crossman, not only routed by Gaitskell supporters, but charged with disloyalty to the party and its leadership. The decision in the national executive arose from a proposal made by Mr. Greenwood that the March 16 meeting to review the constitution be postponed until Aneurin Bevan, recuperating from a serious illness, is fit enough to take part. This was ruthlessly and abruptly voted down 'by trades union members of the executive, and pleas by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Greenwood to be allowed to speak were ruled out of order by the chairman. Mr. Gaitskell left the meeting know- ing that he could look for support from unexpected quarters when the March 16 meeting is held as scheduled. DOCTORS AND DENTISTS Britian's doctors are to have a substantial increase in their re- muneration under the National Health.Service, but there is to be no more pay for the dentists. A royal commission appointed to bring in its findings on the re- muneration of these professions has recommended that doctors have their fees raised so as to give them an extra five pounds a week in income. And it also has recommended that this be dated back to March, 1957, so as to- share out a further £20,000, 000 among the doctors in the na- tional service. Other increases for hospital medical staffs are also welcomed by the medical profession. The dentists, however, are irate at being passed over. The report said: "No rise is recommended for family dentists because they already earn more than was in- tended." Bitter disappointment was expressed by the British Dental Association, which said that the figures on which the com- mission based its findings would be carefully studied. The British Medical Associa- tion, for once, is well pleased with what has been recommend- ed, ax It has been urging for some Hime that more money be provid- ed for the medical profession, Its FOR BETTER HEALTH What Average Child Should Be Able To Do HERMAN N.

He can go to the toilet alone. CAN DRESS HIMSELF You may have to lay out his clothing but he can dress himself completely except for tying shoe laces and ties. He might need a little help with heavy, tight-fitting outer garments and with over- shoes. You can let him out of your sight, as long as he stays in the neighborhood, and feel relatively free from worry. He can play marbles, hide-and-seek, tag, hop- scotch and such with children his own age. RECOGNIZABLE DRAWINGS He can draw people, buildings, animals and landscapes with pen- vil or erayvon.

REPORT ON AGRICULTURE For 15 years a committee estab- lished under the Nuffield Found- ation has been making a study of British Agriculture. Its pur- pose was to_indicate the direction in which agriculture should move to serve best the national interest. It began its studies shortly after the end of the war, and its re- port has only now been publish- ed by the foundation, The chux of the report is the statement that British agricul ture must be based on systems of mixed or balanced farming if it is to be prosperous and at the same time serve the nation's economic and strategic needs. The report emphasizes that this does not imply that there should be mixed production, that the farmer should produce a little of everything. "It simply implies the complimentary use of crops, grass and livestock; growing sound crops to feed animals, and keeping animals to help to man- ure the crops and to eat the grass." it would seem as if the 15-year effort of the committee had re- sulted in the mountain laboring and bringing forth a mouse. Its findings are remarkably similar to those included in the interim --and only-- report of the Ont- ario Agricultural Commission of Inquiry which sat during 1944 and 1945. The only difference is that the Nuffield Committee did pro- duce a final report, something which the Ontario Commission never did. MORE TEACHERS While hundreds of British school teachers are migrating to Canada, the profession in Brite ain is steadily filling up its ranks. A record number of 31,000 young men and women are now train- ing to become teachers, nearly §000 more than there were five years ago. This number should enable the profession to keep pace with the increase in the number of new schools being built, unless the rush to Canada and other dominions reaches much higher figures than at present.

OTTAWA REPORT Great Interest For 'Model Parliaments' By PATRIC KNICHOLSON OTTAWA--A great deal of in- terest always focusses upon the elections to the "Model Parlia- ments" of our universities; for the students of foday will in most cases be voters at our next Gen- eral Election. The Student Federations of both the Conservative and the Liberal parties recently met in Ottawa in annual convention, and brought not merely record at- tendances, but unexpectedly high turn-outs which embarrassingly overcrowded the available facili- ties, The Conservatives, for exam- ple, took over the modern but small Eastview Hotel, which has 65 bedrooms. When 493 dele- gates registered, an armada of taxicabs had to be recruited to ferry the overflow between the convention headquarters and var- ious outlying motels. CLOSE ELECTIONS The results of the elections to most of the universities' Model Parliaments have now been an- nounced. The party headquarters of both the Conservatives and the Liberals have issued statements claiming a cross - Canada tri- umph. "Student Progressive Conserv- ative campus clubs have won seven elections this year com- pared with six for the Liberals," crows the PC office. "The Liberals have won the majority of the Model Parlia- ment elections at Canadian Col- leges and Universities this year," counters the Liberal office. The true victory in this strug- gle for the allegiance of our ad- olescent intelligentsia can only be t ul thermore, being based on 15 par- ticipating Maritime universities, involves some duplication. The total membership of the Model Parliaments in the major universities --- reflecting those results yet available--show that the Liberals capiured 296 seats, the Conservatives fell just behind with 280 seals, the CCF came a sad third with only 122 seats, while miscellaneous parties won just over 100 seats. This last category inevitably included some of the 'freak parties by means of which uni- versity students always show their independ and ber- ance. ; For example, the "1.D.LO.T." Party nosed out the Liberals to form the Official Opposition to Queen's University, where the "Canadian Christian Facists" also garnered more votes than the recognised party with the same initials. And at Acadia, the "Democratic So cia lists", pre- empting the dame which the "pew" Labor-CCF party may h for itself, swept into d after agr the definition of a university. For the Conservative claim to victory must depend upon the acceptance of St. Andrew's High School of Antigonish as a "college", as well as the inclusion of St. Ann's College with its very small body of 150 students. The Liberals claim to triumph on the other hand is based in part in the inclusion of the Mari- time Model Parliament, whose PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Overheard: "My wife told me that if 1 didn't get a haircut, she'd quit me, but as I couldn't depend on that, I'm getting a haircut anyway." The reason that a British doc- tor says there's no pain may be that he has never felt any pain. Where there's no sense, there's no feeling. "We must go back to the old time religion," says a preacher. But do we have time to make so long a trip? bership is not based on cur- rent campus elections; and fur- power. All of which tends to show that the student's political enthusiasm is still tempered by tongue-in- cheek ebullience, just as it was in my own college days when I was campaign manager for "Count Bludski", a rebel against free enterprise, whose attractive platform began with "free beer for all" and ended with his sen- sational assassination by a mug hired by the rival soft-drink in- terests. 135 SIMCOE ST.

It is necessary also that it be guided by definite policies and that certain house rules be set up in order that all may function in an orderly manner. The House Committee has the responsib- ility of keeping the house in order, investigat- ing all matters which come within its jurisdic- tion, and making suitable recommendations to the Board of Directors for necessary action.
