Owsme eR ETOFO MEAnOsnaAs gS wees ee a ey Pearson Assembles Team With Strength On Bench There were no surprises in Prime Minister Pearson's cabinet, He put together the expected squad of veterans and rookies -- and he has 'a strong bench to call on for re- placements if and when they are needed. The cabinet has a strong eastern flavor, but that was inevi- table after the Liberal failure on the Prairies, With Paul Martin in External Affairs, the fussing and feuding which have marked Canada's inter- national relations for the past few years should quickly come to an end, and we can once again play a key role at the United Nations, Mr. Pearson has a streng team to assist him with economic policy. Particularly of Mitchell Sharpe are great things expected, and if he improves on the record of his Con- servative predecessor in Trade and Commerce, he will achieve great- ness; this was one of the depart- ménts in the Conservative govern- ment which was run with vigor and imagination, as the trade record of the past two years clearly shows. Several of the new cabinet minis- ters are untried, and will have to prove themselves; an example is Judy La Marsh, who now has the job of demonstrating that her ad- ministrative ability is as sharp as her. tongue. One knows what to ex- pect from some of the veterans -- Lionel Chevrier, for example, will be a valuable member of the cabinet team in and out of the House, but it would be surprising if ,as Min- ister of Justice, he instituted any broad program of reform. If Mr; Pearson carries out some of his campaign promises, there could be additions to the cabinet -- an associate minister of agriculture and a minister of industry. In the meantime, Mr, Diefen- baker prepares to lead the Opposi- tion, and he will probably be much better at that job than was Mr. Pearson. The latter, on the other hand, will not be hard-pressed to improve Mr. Diefenbaker as a prime minister. Bombers Now Killers Murder has now been added to the crimes of the Quebec extre- mists who call themselves the Liberation Front, Legally, the death of a Montreal caretaker may not be murder, but morally there ean be no other word for it. Sooner or later, the placing of bombs in build- ings had to result' in death and injury, and the extremists must have faced that fact when they atarted their campaign of terrorism. To the rest of Canada, including the great majority of the people of Quebec, the extremists are now branded as killers. They may be few in number, but they are creating an explosive situ- ation -- which is probably what they want to do, The longer they are permitted to operate, the greater will be the revulsion of other Cana- dians; and we do not have to look far back in our history to realize that out of it could come a witches' brew of anti-Quebec feeling. That is what must be worrying responsible people in Quebec, in- eluding Premier Lesage, who is leading a vast overhaul of tra- ditional Quebec attitudes and methods, To succeed, Lesage must have the assistance and co-operation of Ottawa and the other provinces, The terrorists activities could jeopardize his campaign. These are only some of the rea- sons why a swift and ruthless at- tack on the terrorist movement must be made before it gets any larger or better organized. Such a movement inevitably becomes the haven for hoodlums and the wild- eyed inhabitants of the lunatic fringe of society, and all sorts of atrocities are committed in the name of "freedom" or "liberation". In the case of Quebec, one can properly ask, "Freedom from what?" and "Freedom for what?" The terrorists claim they want, to be free from the yoke of Canada, a foreign state; they want to be free to construct their own state. And responsible Quebecois shudder at the thought. But that will not stop the bombings, the vandalism, the hoodlums -- and the killing. Only stern, swift and vigorous police action will do that. Worry Not Always Bad The stress of modern living gets blamed for all sorts of ills, from hardened arteries to juvenile delin- quency. But what would life be with- out stress? A crashing bore, prob- ably--and more. A Canadian scien- tist who is internationally famous for his exploration of stress in liv- ing, Dr. Hans Selye, director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the University of Montreal, says: that a life without any worry can become a life with- out any purpose, "The most commonly accepted ideals in our Western civilization," Dr. Selye recently told the Canadian Club of Toronto, "are security and a high living standard -- less work and more pay. We want security, not only against aggressor nations. We want to know that, even if we live quite irresponsibly and lay aside nothing for emergencies, we won't have to worry because it is up to She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C..

"The great philosophical ideal of our times has become the develop- ment of a social structure in which you don't have to worry about any- thing. Well, as I have said before, a certain amount-of stress is good for you, you should worry about some things. As E. N. Westcott said, 'a reasonable number of fleas is good for a dog as it keeps him brooding over being a dog.' : 'If our leaders would help us to develop some specialities in science and culture it would not only give purpose to our lives but would unite us in one great team in which every citizen could feel that, in accor- dance with his particular talents, he contributes his share to a mean- ingful effort." No one is likely to quarrel with Dr. Selye's thesis that we need to be led away from the vision of pur- poseless ease, But if in his use of the term "our leaders" Dr. Selye means political leaders, he is prob- ably asking the impossible. Political leaders may not have believed in the possibility or desirability of a worry-free society, and their mo- tives may simply have been political expediency, but they have been its chief prophets. The leadership we need will have to come from people who will speak plain truths -- as Dr. Selye him- self has done 61m JOHN A. July 1, 1867--!

Pearson -- Canada's 14th prime minister was probably better known in ether countries than any Cana- dian when he became leader of the Liberal party on Jan. 16, 1958, He now takes over as head of the government one day before his 66th birthday. During the years from 1048 to 1957, when he was a world troubleshooter as Canada's ex- ternal affairs minister, Mr. Pearson played a_ back - seat role in domestic p }itics. In the 1958 election--his first as party leader --the Liberals suffered their worst-ever election defeat. Four years later he came close to unseating Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker's Conservative government, with 100 Liberal MPs elected, and last April 8 he finally made it with 130 Lib- erals--only three short of a ma-, jority in the 265-seat Commons. Mr, Pearson had a long list of international honors to his credit when he became party leader. He helped avert the spread of the Korean War into Commu- nist China, was president of the United Nations General Assem- bly, helped bring West Ger- many into NATO in "1954, was twice nominated--and vetoed by Russia--for the post of UN secretary-general, and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for his part in establishment of the UN Emergency Force in Egypt during the Suez crisis. Born in Toronto, the son and grandson of Methodist minis- ters, he served overseas in the First World War, in the Medical Conps and infantry at Salonika in 1915 and 1916, and later in the Royal Flying Corps. Afterwards he completed his studies at the University of Tor- onto, played some semi-profes- sional baseball at Guelph, and after a short whirl in business with a Chicago meat-packing firm returned to the University of Toronto to lecture in history. He later entered the external affairs department and was un- dersecretary of the department when he entered the govern- ment of Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent in 1948. "Lionel Chevrier The new justice minister has been a member of Parliament since 1935 with the exception of three years. The 60-year-old na- tive of Cornwall, Ont., is re- garded as a father of the St. Lawrence Seaway, having planned the navigation project as transport minister and then resigning from the Commons in 1954 to serve as first president of the St. Lawrence Seaway Au- thority. Mr. Chevrier, a bilingual law- yer, was first elected to the Commons as MP for Stormont (Ont.) at the age of 32. In the former Liberal government's election defeat of 1057, he re- turned to the Commons as member for Montreal Laurier which he has represented since then. Shortly before the 1957 election he was reappointed to the cabinet as president of the Privy Council--a largely honor- ary post -- and was being groomed for the traditional Lib- eral role of the party's Quebec strong man. In the last two parliaments he was Liberal House leader on the opposition benches and is given credit for much of: the Liberal party's political come- back in Quebec in the last elec- tion. In his early years in the Com- mons he was deputy chief Lib- eral whip, and In 1943 became parliamentary assistant to Mu- nitions Minister C, D. Howe. He became transport minister in 1045. Paul Martin External affairs minister, the 59-year-old Mr. Martin is re- turning to the cabinet table where he sat as health minister Cabinet for 11 years from 1946 to 1057 when much of the existing so- cial welfare legislation was written. A Liberal party stalwart, the Windsor, Ont., lawyer has rep- resented Essex East constitu- ency without a break since 1935. He was a contender for the party leadership at the 1958 con- vention that chose Lester B. Pearson as Liberal leader. A flamboyant speaker whose speeches are often colored with indignant anger, Mr. Martin was one of the most effective opposition members of the Lib- eral party after 1057, He was also a spokesman on external affairs, having headed Canada's United Nations delegation fre- quently under the former Lib- eral government. Born in Ottawa in a Roman Catholic family of French-Irish origin, he grew up in Pem- broke, Ont, Though his family was poor, he went far in his academic studies, largely through scholarships which took him to Cambridge, Harvard and Geneva, W.

At that time Mr. Hel!- yer, then 33, was the second- youngest minister of the Crown in Canada since Confederation. He first entered the Commons in 149 in Toronto Davenport constituency. After election de- feats in 1957 and 1958, he re- turned in a 1958 byelection as member for Toronto Trinity, which he has represented since then.
