Q THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, June 7, 1968 GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN |Dief Says Canada Taking Offensive Seed Of Dispute cafe a 2 es 2 mse --_- OSHAWA DELEGATES FOR TRAFFIC PARLEY Oshawa will be well represented in Port Arthur gh 11- 19, inclusive at the three-day annual convention of the 350- member Ontario Traffic Conference with the following dele- gates: Robert "Bob" Richardson, a member of the City Engineer- ing Department. Alderman John Brady of | City Counei}'s Treffic Safety ven! committee. Sgt. Norman Smythe, of the Traffie Department of City police. Mr. Richardson has been president of the OTC since last April and has devoted several years to the study of traffie problems. One of the main subjects to be discussed will be One- Way Traffic, so prominent in the local news since publica- tion this year of the Damas, Smith Traffic Survey Report for Oshawa, The D-§ Report, completed after a two-year survey, strongly recommended one- way traffie for King street. City Council appeared to be ready to proceed with the proposal until strong opposi- tion was registered by the Downtown Businessmen's Association. No final decision on the matter from Council is new likely fer several months, at least until the matter is investigated more carefully. "BOB" RICHARDSON CITY AUDIT REPORT IS "MUST" READING Did you notice the recent publication of the 1962 auditor's report and financial statement of the City? The report and statement left many questions unanswer- ed, to be true, but this much must be admitted -- it was e big step in the right direction and one that was long overdue. The day has arrived when the ratepayers must pay more 'careful attention to such matters. The Department of Muni- cipal Affairs -- the watchdog of spending for Ontario's muni- eipalities -- has repeatedly called attention to the fact. The need was also underlined last year with the enact- ment of Section 223a of the Municipal Act which requires publication of the audited financial statement of the munici- pality and report of the auditor thereon. Such enactment was a milestone in the development of adequate methods of financial statement presentation and re- porting by municipalities to the ratepayers. Such publication is necessarily fragmentary, but with patience it can be improved. - For instance, it does not list the total cost of operation of the controversial Board of Works Yard, which information was not forthcoming even from the City Treasury Depart- ment, a spokesman for which explained; "We do not figure out the operational costs of the Board of Works Yard because many of the debit items lsted are chargeable to other sources or departments -- guch costs are not required by the Department of Municipal Affairs." How about the ratepayers? The spokesman said that it would be a "sizeable" job to proyide such a breakdown. The report has the. following comment to make regarding the City's Revenue Fund financing: "The revenue fund balance sheet at December 31, 1962, shows a bank overdraft of $290,840.74. This amount is rep- resented by an overdraft of $111,697.80 and outstanding cheq- wes of $98,143.44. Section 329 (1) of the Municipal act per- mits current borrowings by way of promisery note only and we know of no other authority which would permit a bank overdraft. As a result of our recommendatioin, a bank loan has been obtained early in 1963 to clear the bank overdraft." The report had this to say under the heading, "Due to Other Funds": . "An amount of $134,642 is due to the subdividers' deposit fund at December'31. Section 299 (2) of the Municipal Act states that contributions received by a municipality in con- sideration of expenses to be incurred as a result of a subdivi- gion of land shall be paid into a special bank aecount. Of the total subdividers' deposit fund at December 31, 1962, of $716,- 997.47 amounts of $582,254.64 have been placed in a separate bank account and the balance of $134,642.83 is due from the Fevenue fund. "We are advised that subdividers' receipts will now be placed directly in the special bank account and therefore the @bove situation should not arise in the future." The report had this to say regarding the Oshawq Public Utilities Commission: * "Our reports on the accounts of the Commission set out the fact that the cost of certain assets in the water and bus departments are not charged to operations in the year of purchase. Section 64 of the Ontario Municipal Board act requires the approval of the Board for deferring the cost of the assets and this approval has not been requested." The report notices that the financial tranactions have been Within the powers of the municipality; also the audit was gonducted in accordance with the instructions of the Depart- ment. The report says the financial statements present fairly the financial position of the municipality as of December 31, By ROBERT RICE OTTAWA (CP) -- Former prime minister Diefenbaker says Canada is assuming an ag- gressive, offensive role in the Western alliance by equipping its NATO bombers in Europe with nuclear bombs. The Conservative opposition leader made the charge Thurs- day as the Commons headed to ward a vote--expected some time today--on the Liberal gov- ernment's proposal to set up an alluparty defence committee. Prime Minister Pearson will reply to the opposition leader today to wind up the defence debate that has preoccupied the House for four days. Mr. Pear- son got about a minute of his reply in the record Thursday before the Commons adjourned for the night. With the defence committee decision out of the way, the House will take up the govern- ment's motion to establish an economic council of Canada. Next week, the Commons will turn to two of the most import- ant financial matters of Parlia. ment--tabling on Tuesday of a financial white paper spelling out the 1962-63 deficit in a de- tailed account, followed on Thursday with the budget for 1963-64 by Finance Minister Gordon. QUOTES THORSON Mr, Diefenbaker, quoting one of Canada's staunchest anti-nu- clear leaders, Mr. Justice J, T. Thorson of the Exchequer Court Synod Defeats Anti-Arms Motion TORONTO (CP)--The Angli- can synod of the Toronto dio- cese concluded its sessions Thursday by overyhelmingly defeating a motion, presented by Rev. J. E. Adam of Peter- borough, condemning the distri- butien of nuclear arms to Cana- dian forces. The motion, in line with the anti-nuclear stand of Archbishop H. H. Clark, Primate of all Can. ada, evoked blunt opposition from Bishop F. H. Wilkinson who declared "Canada should accept her full share of defence under the NATO plan and Cana- dian forces should be equipped with nuclear weapons." Elaborating on the reasons for his stand, the bishop said: "As far as I am concerned, the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons in the light of the pres- ent world situation is morally justified . . . the cold war is an all prevailig moral struggle . . (that) cannot be continued if the Western World submits to the abolition of nuclear arms without any such commitment from Soviet Russia." "The present umbrella of nu- clear defence can make it pos- sible for a more rational state of affairs to be brought about amongst the world of nations and at the same time to allow such movements as the humani. tarian, cultural, economie and social programs of the United Nations to be carried out com- bating hunger, disease and ig. norance and creating a sense of mutual depedence and brother- hood . xa The nuclear debate followed a motion adopted Wednesday night that the committee on Christian unity study the Indian church unity schemes as "possi- ble guides to the solution of the problem of Christian unity in Canada." The meeting ended with a message of greeting and good- of Canada, said the government plans to arm its CF-104 aircraft in Europe with ope-megaton nuclear bombs, Such firepower -- which he said represented P slonege 4 tens of TNT -- indica' weapons are no apse Pg sive but are 'aggressive and fee aggressive in ef. ec! Later Yigg oe Dicleabanty said tacleat bombs made the Canadian low- level jet bombers "an aggres- sive nuclear force far and be. yond what is contemplated by the expression 'defensive weap- ons.' " Then, in concluding, he ac- cused the government of decid- ing to arm Canadian air forces in Europe "'with offensive weap. ons" without consulting Parlia- ment. He said the decision was made before the NATO spring ministerial meeting in Ottawa last month and was confirmed at the NATO gathering. Mr. Diefenbaker said the re- grouping of the CF¥-104 bombers into NATO's inter-allied nuclear force will not increase the mil- itary power of the alliance. But, he added, it will mean that NATO members will pro- vide a greater share of the cost. BACKBENCHERS SILENT Through its four-day course, the debate on defence featured spokesmen from all three oppo. sition parties--but no Liberal backbenchers. Stanley Knowles (NDP--Win- nipeg North Centre) said the de- fence committee may resolve the question of whether Canada was and is committed to nu- clear wveapons. Guy Marcoux, independent Social Credit member for Que- bec-Montmorency, said the issue of nuclear arms should be de- cided by the committee in a free vote--not on party lines. "But Wallace Nesbitt (PC--Ox- fora} debunked the idea of a non - partisan committee. He said the Liberals would have 12 of the 24 members, with the Conservatives nominating eight, the Social Credit and New Dem. ocratic parties each sending two members. He predicted that the Liberals would see that the committee's recommendations followed Lib- eral policy. PM's Remarks On Sea Force Non-Committal OTTAWA (CP)--The govern- ment issued a non-committal statement Thursday night on its discussions with special Ameri- can envoy Livingston Merchant on a prop NATO ne strategic nuclear force. The statement said: "These conversations were exploratory only. No commitments of any sort were involved." Mr. Merchant had a 90-min. ute meeting with Prime Minis- ter Pearson, External Affairs Minister Martin and Defence Minister Hellyer. Mr. Martin and Mr. Hellyer later continued the talks with Mr. Merchant and were joined by officials of the external affairs, defence, fi- nance and defence production denartments. In the Commons, Mr. Pear- son said in reply to Opposition Leader Diefenbaker that no de- cision will be taken by the gov. ernment "for some time," Mr. Diefenbaker asked whether acceptance by Canada wold increase defence expend- ges by $40,000,000 to $50,000,- Mr. Pearson said: "That is a very hypothetical question in. will sent from the synod of the} Algoma diocese currently being held in Sault Ste.

(AP Wirephoto by cable from Rome) House Question Period Shows Little Change By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)--The change of government seems to have meant little change for the 26th Parliament in the kind of ques- tion that is asked and the kind of answer given during the daily question period in the House of Commons. Former Speaker Marcel Lam- bert ruled the question 'period with an iron hand during the 25th Parliament, abruptly cut- ting off members who asked rambling, frivolous or less than urgent questions. Rarely, how- ever, was he able to materially shorten the question period which in recent years has gen- erally run an hour. Speaker. Alan Macnaughton is giving members a freer hand, putting a stop to only those questions which are wide of the guidelines set by parliamentary usage. Question periods still run about an hour. On only a few occasions Mr. Macnaughton has suggested the Commons get on with its scheduled work after an hour or more has been spent in question and answer cross- fire. NO FIXED RULES The parliamentary rule book has no fixed order governing the oral question period: The book proyides rules for mem- bers submitting questions in writing and getting replies in a few days or weeks later from the administration. The oral question period has grown up over the years with guidelines set out by such par- liamentary procedure authori- ties ag the late Dr. Arthur Bankruptcy Act Change Studied OTTAWA (CP)--In a rare move, the Commons approved in principle a private member's bill Thursday. A proposed amendment to the Bankruptcy Act, the bill was referred to the banking and commerce stand- ing committee for detailed study. The bill's sponsor, Eugene Whelan (L---Essex South), said his proposal would protect fruit and vegetable growers and all primary producers when their products are involved in the bankruptcy of a processor. Two Progressive Conservative speakers expressed serious res- ervation about the principle of No Quick Action On Social Clubs STEPHENVILLE, Nfld. (CP) The provincial attorney - gen- eral's department apparently plans no immediate action on complaints of racial discrimina- tion at liquor-selling social clubs in this west coast Newfoundland town. Attorney - General Leslie R. Curtis told reporters in St. John's "no action is indicated" the bill and they called "on di- vision" to indicate that second reading of the bill was not una- nimous, Spokesmen for the Social Credit and New Democratic parties supported the legisla- tion. It was the first time in the new Parliament that a private member's bill was not "'talked out" in the hour set aside each day for such business. ACT UNFAIR Mr. Whelan, a farmer, said the Bankruptcy Act is highly unfair in its applications to pri- mary producers. For example, a fruit grower could never get paid for his fruit deliveries to a cannery if and when the can- ery went bankrupt. In addition, the fruit growers cannot get paid if the cannery borrows money from a bank with the fruit stocks as secur- ity and then defaults payment of the loan. In such cases, the bank had the first claim to the fruit, J. J. Greene (L -- Renfrew South) said the Bankruptcy Act as a whole needs a revision be- cause it mow seems to act as a shelter for fraud.

They have no treaty rights. They have what are called historic or traditional fishing rights in waters which would be question cabinet ministers on the state of public business other matters of public interest. Govemments have always complained of lengthy question periods. They are a_ testing time when cabinet 'ministers must be on their toes. Governments also see them as opposition obstruction. For- mer prime minister Diefen- baker charged the then Liberal opposition during the April election campaign with haying mounted 'a calculated filibus- ter to sabotage Parliament." REGARDED AS RIGHT MPs in opposition, however, look upon the question period as an important oppasi- tion "right'"'. to ferret out gov- ernment malfeasance, neglect, or embarrassment. It's also an occasion for an MP to get his encomp d by the extension. Historic rights are not estab- OF! lished by international law but, by custom, one country permits another to exercise these rights, Canada has given no public indication that it wants to term. inate treaty and historie rights. Prime Minister Pearson said only that Canada will "take full account" of them.
