he Osharon Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. 3 * Puge 6 Friday, April 28, 1961 "Film Censors Use Bad : Example Citing France Ontario's Board of Film Censors is disturbed by the trend to realism in -= movies and threatens more severe censor- & ship if the motion picture industry does not "adjust itself to the rising tide of -- eriticism." It intends to do everything it can (including restraints on film distribu- tion, apparently) to persuade film-mak- ers to keep their products "within the . grounds of good taste," and attempts to bolster its position by pointing to steps taken in other countries to censor motion pictures. It mentions France, where "legislation is being considered to - establish a 22-man board of censors to . aw , pre-censor films before production. Without getting into a general discus- ' sion about censorship or the porno- graphic content of films, we can take strong objection to two points in the Board's report. The first is the reference to good taste. One must always be suspicious of people who profess to be ablé to assess what is or is not "good taste." Generally, Support For Since the recent abortive "invasion" of Cuba, U.S. Republican leaders from Eisenhower to Rockefeller have given their backing to the strong position taken by President Kennedy on US. involve- ment with the security of the Americas. It would be a mistake for anyone to consider this backing as a routine dis- play of bipartisan support in a time of emergency. There's not much doubt _ that direct US. intervention in Cuba TRY a " # Ld w ~ ® - " ® é would have overwhelming support from the U.S. people. When Mr. Kennedy made his recent restatement of the Monroe Doctrine, it is significant that Democratic, Repub- lican and independent newspapers all praised the vigorous declaration. Here are some samples: Chicago Tribune: "It may be hoped that the President's summons 'to other Latin American nations to awaken to the realities of Communist penetration and subversion will not be wasted." Cleveland Plain Dealer: "President all it means is that they want to set up their own tastes as the standard for all; no one is to see or hear or read anything they don't like, and everyone must enjoy what they do like. It's as simple as that. And we are not prepared to accept the members of the Board of Film Censors as arbiters of good taste, . Our second objection is to the re- ference to the proposed French plan of pre-censorship. This proposal has nothing to do with morals or good taste. It is a strictly political move. The de' Gaulle government wants to stamp out criticism, particularly ef its Algerian policy. To do so, it is even willing to seize newspapers. Its effort to pre-censor films, therefore, will be nothing more or less than a blatant effort to control subjects matter, in order to influence the "image" of French government policy inside and outside France. > If the Board of Censors approves of this sort of thing, the sooner its mem- bers are changed the better. President- Kennedy served notice on the Soviet Union that patience is growing thin . .. This may be the time to change, to play the game as the other side plays it, with bare knuckles and kicking of shins." New York Times: "The language used by President Kennedy was strong and clear, which is what the situation re- quired. It can be taken as certain that an overwhelming majority of Americans will applaud and support the policies he expressed. They should do so and they should have no illusions about the price that Will have to be paid." Boston Herald: "President Kennedy's vigorous statement , . . is reassuring to the country that what must be done will be done." Miami Herald: "The United States is now resolved by every means to give battle to tyranny ... We have a leader." That is the tone of the comment in newspaper after newspaper. There is no great division, as there was over Korea, V4 Co-Operatives' Growth It is just five years short of two centuries since farmers in Quebec and : Nova Scotia started Canada's first producer co-operatives; these were mar- " keting clubs, and a main part of their purpose was discussion of crops and . farming methods. And it was exactly 100 years ago that miners around Stel- larton, Nova Scotia, started the country's first consumer co-operative, a general store. Before 1900 farmers' co-ops in Ontario were manufacturing salt, selling binder twine and fire insurance. In this century the movement's main growth has been grain marketing on the prairies. Because of their semi-educational, mutual aid character, co-ops have tradi- tionally enjoyed a large measure of tax exemption. But lately co-ops have be- come a billion dollar business and, says at least one of their critics, they now enjoy an unfair tax advantage. The critic is Cecil Lamont, a Winnipeg grain merchant, who argues that in their new role the co-operatives should be taxed in the same way as ordinary corporations.

Now with the effective gate of 50 per cent, and over, this tax advantage has enabled co-operatives to expand to a point where they constitute a threat to the corporate business structure of Canada. "The volume of business done by co- operatives in Canada has increased from $155 million in 1938 to $1.3 billion in 1959 . . . Co-operatives are now en- gaged in ownership and operation of oil wells, refineries, filling stations, flour mills, commercial printing plants, news- - papers, commercial office buildings for rental, grain elevators and terminals, seed plants, oil processing plants, dairies, stock yards, abattoirs, all phases of re- tailing and wholesaling, farm machinery and equipment, lumber yards, sawmills, coal mines, retail coal sheds, fruit pack- ing, processing of fish and fish products, feed mills, all phases of insurance, trust company operations, undertaking parlors, and they are rapidly expanding into new fields of endeavor. Their rapid growth since the outbreak of World War II can be traced to the income tax advantages which they enjoy." It seems entirely logical that if co-ops are going to be ordinary businesses, they should be taxed as ordinary businesses are. Or ordinary businesses should be taxed as the co-ops are. Other Editor's Views BUSINESS CONTROLS (Peterborough Examiner) The development of Canada as Sir John A. Macdonald well knew, could not be left to the whims of business entre- . preneurs entirely, because a number of essential areas would be left vered and our progress would be retarded as a result. The trick of government today is not destruction of useful economic arms, but the prevention of inordinate public and governmental interference into our lives and the restraint of those who would sell us out, as if the nation were one huge fire sale. L ~~ STIGE ad US.PRE i INTH UNITED NATIONS #071 hin UNOBLIGING HUMPTY DUMPTY QUEEN'S PARK No-Door Policy Will Delay Job By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--This committee is going to please EVERYBODY. The new select committee on municipal affairs believes in a ne-door policy. It is inviting every munici- pality in the province to appear ty in the province to appear before it--that is every one of nearly 1,000 municipalities. It is also sending special invi- tations to a number of munici- pal leaders. And anyone in the field who may be missed on this invitation list will be welcome anyway. The committee, it is to be gathered, is going to have great big EARS. MAMMOTH TASK This, of course, is an ob- viously ridiculous approach. This committee, if it did the job called for, would have a mammoth task before it. Our whole field of municipal affairs today is distributed and badly organized, and its sys- tems--and possibly its princip- les--are out-dated. REPORT FROM U.K. River Pollution Control Proposed By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON - Just as is the case in Canada, pollution of British rivers has become a major public problem. It has been thrust into the limelight by the introduction in the House of Commons, by John Temple, Conservative member for Ches- ter of a "clean rivers bill". This bill spotlights industrial waste and sewage as the chief cause of the pollution of rivers. Its main provision is a requirement that "all trade and sewage effluent should be adequately treated." Mr. Temple's bill, a private bill "to control the flow of wastes from factories and towns, "passed its second read- ing in the House of Commons, with strong government sup- port." OFFER OF AWARD The major contribution to the debate on the second reading of the bill came from a fisherman- MP, Sir Tufton Beamish, Con- servative member for Lewes. In his speech, he made a dramatic offer. "I will pay $295," he said, "to the first man or woman who, with rod and line, above tidal waters of the Thames, catches a salmon in this century or dur- ing my lifetime, whichever is the longer." ar Tufton Beamish is 44 years old. The Thames, he said, was a horrid and sad example of what pollution could do to a once clean river. It was a famous salmon river fromthe 13th to the 18th century. "Salmon were once so com- mon," said Sir Tufton, "that there was often a condition in the indentures of apprentices in London that they should not be made to dine off salni$h more than two or three times a week. "It may well be that salmon will once again run up the Thames. The salmon is a deter- mined, tough and obstinate fish." He held out before his fellow- MP's this alluring prospect: "What nicer pastime during all-night sittings than to go out to the terrace with a rod, using bait or a lure, possibly a prawn --a fly would not be any good-- and hook a large salmon." Mr. Temple, sponsor of the bill, said the pollution problem was very clearly shown on a map in the ministry of agricul- ture laboratory in Whitehall, with flags indicating all the rivers which are now devoid of fish. This he attributed to pol- lution of the streams with waste and sewage. The bill was given a second reading after Sir Keith Joseph, parliamentary secretary to the ministry of housing and local government, said it had the gov- ernment's complete support, and that the new controls it provided were wanted in operation by the summer of this year. READERS' VIEWS Sees Solution To More Jobs Dear Sir: In view of the unprecedented and alarming situation at the present time of unemployment, the Government seems to be at its wits' end for any solution. o course there is a solution for In previous depressions a war has come to our rescue and then men up to 65 have been coaxed to take jobs again. Also married women were urg- ed to work and hundreds made the great sacrifice of home life for factory or office. Hundreds of these heroes are still work- ing on these same jobs, while their husbands are drawing fat salaries. Our offices, banks and chain stores are full of married women, with single girls out of jobs. This is really a terrible condi- tion. It draws on thé unemploy- ment fund also, when it is down to a dangerously low level. Many men are also holding down good part-time jobs as well as a full-time one. These cases should be studied and drastic action taken. There will have to be legisla- tion soon to ban married wom. en from working unless their husbands are out of work, also men holding down two jobs un- less they have to. CITIZEN. Oshawa.

GIL GRAHAM, Sec'y., Oshawa Y's Men's Club. The Municipal Act alone is more than 300 pages long. And a review of it is only one o the jobs the committee must 0. It also must--or should--go into matters of basic principle. Should there be more or less local autonomy? Do we need a definite code of ethics for municipal representa- tives? What provincial controls are needed? Should there be changes in the local tax approach? SOME YEARS Will the committee ever get arglind to these questions? es, it possibly may. But it would seem probable it will be some years before it can get them on its agenda. And even then it probably won't have time to give them the consideration they deserve. DELAY CHANGE The committee, of course, is being quite unashamedly politi- cal. It has taken an approach that nobody should be offended--the same approach the government itself has taken on municipal af- fairs. Its first consideration is that it be popular. Secondly it will do a job, The most harmful aspect of this, of course, is that the com- mittee will really only delay-- and perhaps indefinitely--neces- sary municipal revision. It will bring down a report of some nature or other. And this will be accepted as the end-all. When the revisions which will still be needed are demanded it will be said "But the committee didn't recommend that."
