Wilson, Publisher ersten» oh her eyenge ean ebeteearttedatis SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1963 -- PAGE 6 The Ontario Traffic Conference has approved a resolution request- ; ~ ing legislation to make it compul- sory for persons suspected of driving * while impaired or intoxicated to 'take tests for chemical analysis. © There is no doubt that such legisla- " tion is needed. Opponents of the compulsory test - idea see it as a serious threat to . the rights of the individual. It un- * doubtedly is,if the operation of a motor vehicle is considered a right rather than a privilege. But that, we think, is an extreme view. * . Freedom in a democracy is found- * ed on the responsibility of the in- * dividual. Acceptance of this respon. * sibility means acceptance of certain * limitations on individual freedom for * the good of the many. An example * is the regulation of traffic already » in existence and accepted by most « drivers who realize that certain ~ rules must be adopted and enforced » if a state of absolute chaos on roads ° and streets is to be prevented. Canadian Trade View > Trade Minister Mitchell Sharp - has given Americans a lucid exposi- = tio of the difficulties of the Ken- * nedy proposal for equal linear cuts in tariffs as it applies to a country such as Canada. Speaking to the American Hemisphere Dinner at Chicago, he pointed out that Canada exports a wide range of food, forest and mineral products and some manufactured goods -- that Can- ada is, in fact, one of the largest suppliers of industrial materials. But this role as an exporter has been "somewhat eclipsed" by our role as an importer, largely of manufactured goods. He said: "For the last decade Canada has encountered a deficit in the ex- change of goods and services with the rest of the world averaging $1 billion annually ... All of this de- ficit, and more, is incurred in our eurrent transactions with the United States. Canada's current account de- ficit with the United States alone has averaged in excess of $1.2 bil- lion annually over the last ten years ... It is a prime objective Compulsory Tests Asked By Traffic Conference The deaths, injuries and property damage caused by traffic accidents have increased each year to catas- trophic proportions. The impaired or drunk driver is responsible for a very high proportion of these acci- dents. Any reasonable measure to force the drinking driver -- a poten- tial murderer, if there ever was one -- to obey the traffic rules should be welcomed. And compul- sory chemical tests appear to be reasonable. Ontario could well follow the example set by Saskatchewan, where declared willingness to submit to chemical tests is a condition in the issuing of a driver's permit. A person who feels very strongly that this is a sort of legal blackmail and an infringement of his personal liberty can, of course, reject the licence -- freedom always has its sacrifices. But the safety of the great majority demands that drivers be forced to accept the full respon- sibility of driving. of Canadian policy to reduce this imbalance." This means, of course, reduction of the imbalance with the U.S., and any major improvement will have to be achieved mainly within the area of commodity trade, be- cause such items as interest and dividend payments can only be re- duced over a long period. We ex- port to the U.S. mainly food and industrial materials; we import mainly manufactured products. It is obvious, as Mr. Sharp pointed out: "For sound economic reasons, the United States and other coun- tries already import most of their raw material requirements duty free or at very low tariff levels. Therefore, unqualified acceptance of this (equal linear) approach by Canada would provide much more scope for the expansion of sales of foreign manufactured products in Canada than for the sale of Cana- dian products abroad. Such a course of action would obviously accen- tuate rather than alleviate Can- ada's already serious lack of balance in our external payments and re- ceipts," Where The Money Goes A Kitchener Record reporter re- cently talked with a man who owns a cold storage warehouse which is filled with surplus butter. He told the reporter, "I can't recommend a better investment if you have $80,- 000 lying around idle." The approximate cost of the warehouse was $80,000. From it, according to the Record, he derives $5,000 a month in storage fees from the federal government. In addi- tion, he collects five cents a case for moving the butter into storage, and another five cents for moving out. The report goes on: Butter deteriorates in storage. Despite this there are reports that some Canadian butter has been stored for 12 years, which means that it is worthless. A tendency to turn rancid makes the aged butter unattractive for sale in this country. The Record informant said the She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher C.

That is the sorry mess created by the 12-cent butterfat subsidy and the support of butter at 64 cents a pound. Added to the cost of the subsidy is the cost of storage of the unwanted butter; even the wooden boxes in which the butter is packed, 56 pounds to the con- tainer, cost about 70 cents each. Ontario is not the offender. This province consumes most of its own butter production. But to Ontario storage centres comes the surplus butter produced in Quebec and the West. Nobody in Ottawa wants to irritate anyone in Quebec, so the chances of seeing the butter mess cleaned up in the forseeable future are negligible. Meanwhile, the. tax- payer pays and pays. Other Editors' Views DIM ACHIEVEMENT (Victoria Times) --A research foundation reveals that drunkenness increased in Bri- tain last year to the highest point since 1920. The statement is based on the figure representing convic- tions for drunkenness -- 92,100 -- which had not been reached since the total of more than 96,000 42 years ago. There's the statistic and we can do: whatever we like with it. And some may view it as an achieve- ment, and drink to it. BUT UNDOUBTEDLY IT WON'T HAPPEN WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Kingston Whig - Standard: Boards and commissions, cag which, very conspicuous- ly, are local school boards, are increasingly being considered as coverage extended to their meetings by this news- paper.

There is decidedly little that the public is not entitled to know about in the deliberations of this or any other special service body. within local government. On. the basis of the astitude of the members of the local Board of Education, and considering the poor reception the press has iy received from them, we are more than ever strength- ened in our conviction that school boards are a needless ad- dition to the existing machinery of local government and a throwback to the days when the needs of public education were not as universally recognized as they are today. Let us hope that the impulse to strip boards of their special powers will not -flag and that the day will soon come when the com- petence of local councils will be recognized in this as in every other significant aspect of muni- cipal affairs Peterborough Examiner: Fines tote!ting $60,000 have been imposed on six people in To- ronto for running regular church bingo games.

Public Interest Noted In Transport Disputes BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Earlier this year it was estab- lished by the Gallup Poll that more than six in 10 citizens be- lieve workers should have the right to strike. But when it comes to an essen. tial industry like transport, peo- ple take into account the public interest because almost half--45 per cent -- say strikes should be forbidden by law. ; Four in 10 say railroad work- National ers and those in airline, bus and shipping companies should not be forbidden to strike. There is, of course, a wide difference of attitude between union and non- union members on the right to strike in transport fields. The following is the second of a two-prong question regarding strikes in communication and transportation industries. "Do you think strikes by workers in transportation in- dustries, such. as_ railroads, airlines, buses and shipping should or should not be forbid- den by law?"

Correspondent Fou The Oshawa Times LON)IDON -- The Conserva- tive party in Britain has reach- ed its lowest ebb in the public estimation for many years, Not since tthe landslide victory of the Laibor party in the 1945 gen- eral election has there been so strong a swing away from the Tories to Labor. , This is clearly shown in the latest patblic opinion poll con- ducted by the Daily Express. Taken immediately after the Profumo scandal became pub- lic with the resignation of the minister of war, it showed that the Labor party had a lead of 15% per cent over the Conserv- atives as the party for which those questioned would vote in the event of a general election. This is by far the greatest lead that the Labor party has had over the Tories in any pub- lic opinion poll in recent years. Yet it probably gives an accu- rate estimate of the low level to which the Conservatives have fallen in the minds of masses of the people. On this basis of this poll, if a general election were to be held in the near future, Con- servatives would go down to ignominous defeat. The Labor party, with that percentage of margin, would be returned to power with: a majority of well over 200, im place of the pres- ent Conserwative majority of approximately 100. This would mean a Labor gain of at least 150 seats from government members, but that would be quite a reasonably safe esti- mate of the 'result in the light of the present state of public opin- fon. RECALLS 1945 ELECTION The state of the public mind is very much, what it was during the two or three years before the 1945 general election. In that election, Labor won an overwhelming victory over the Conservatives led by Sir. Win- ston Churchill, Britain's great wartime prirne minister. I was in England during the war years, and even in 1942 and 1943 it was okivious that, in spite of the personal popularity of Churchill as a war leader, he was likely tot be defeated by Labor when the wartime coali- tion broke up and an election was held. ' I noted in B'ritain then a very strong feeling that while Churchill was. honored and re- vered as a great war leader, the mass of the people were not willing to entrust to the Con- servatives the tasks of recon- struction and putting the coun- try back on the road to a peace- time prosperity. That public attitude was very apparent even in 1943, eind it was amply borne out in the fall of 1945 when Churchill was swept out of office, to remain in opposi- tion until 1951, when he won a general election by a margin of some 28 seats. SAME FEELING: TODAY Today I sense in Britain something of that same feeling that Labor is very much in the ascendency and is going to win the next general election, when- ever it is held, by a very sub- stantial majority. I have been unable to find rnany 'people, even in the ranks of the Tories, who disagree with the view- points. There had been strong Con- servative hopes that the pres- ent policies of the government, and particularly of Chancellor of the Exchequer Reginald Maudling, would be a strong restorative of the country's economy, and would enable the Tories to regain the ground they had lost and face an election with confidence. That hope has been dispelled. The wmity of the Tory party has been badly shaken, and it has lost hordes of supporters because of the recent shatter- ing blows received by the prime minister, the cabinet and the party as a whole -- and all be- cause a senior cabinet minister was led by a girl into the most serious of political blunders, and his colleagues shaken into hope- less confusion, If as a result of all this the party image re- mains dimmed, and it goes down to defeat, it might well be said that a woman of loose mor- als will have played a major role in bringing about the down- fall of a great political party. | LUTON SEAT RISKED In recommending Dr, Charles Hill for a life peerage, thus open- ing up another 'seat for a by- election at this critical period, Prime Minister Macmillan must have realized he was tak- ing a calculated risk. The seat involved is that in Luton, Bed- fordshire, which Dr. Hill had held since 1950. In the 1959 gen- eral election, in which only Labor opposed Dr. Hill, he had OTTAWA REPORT a majority of 5019. By today's standard, that makes it a mar- ginal seat. It becomes much more so because of the fact that in the coming by-election there will be three candidates in the field, as both Labor and the Liberals have already named candidates, As a straw which show how the Luton will blow one has only to look at the results in the recent Luton municipal elections. In these, Labor won five of the séven wards which make up the con- stitunecy. On a 40 per cent poll in the seven wards, Labor se- cured 12,512 votes to 9129 for the Tory candidates. So the calculated risk was decidedly there when Mr. Mac. millan recommended Dr, Charles Hill for a life peerage. The one saving grace is that the government fixes the date of the by-election, and it will assuredly be deferred until as late as possible in the fall.

Tories Suffering From Talent Loss By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--As Prime Miaister Lester Pearson's "Sixty Days of Decision" draw to a close, his critics are adding up his achievements and often finding them less than totally impres- sive, But a decision is not always appropriate for immediate ac- tion, or even for immediate announcement. On the surface, we see con- structive and sometimes con- troversial government propos- als already on the Order Paper of the House of Commons: Enough work to keep Parlia- ment busy for many weeks. That the Conservative Opposi- tion would seek to delay this work was anticipated by the Liberals; but even the best friends of that opposition con- fess that its performance in this respect has fallen far short of the expected standards of parliamentary astuteness. TORIES MISS TALENT The chroniclers will almost certainly record that Gordon Churchill's introduction of the reportedly forged "Butterworth letter" in the House of Com- mons was a sorry error, which turned much support away from a party already suffering ebb tide. The comment aroused in a wide circle of disturbed Tory MPs by this and similar antics is that their numerically strong opposition is woefully ineffec- tive. They certainly miss the debating talent of Davie Fulton and Donald Fleming, and the wise experience of Howard Green. Also prominent among the missed Conservative politicians BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO D. F. Johnston, R. Moffatt and N.

Roly did not become one of Canada's great Speakers, but he possessed attributes which brought him both respect and popularity in that .role: His charm, his good sense, hig fluent bilingualism, and espe- cially the graciousness of his wife Norah to assist him as his very active hostess, Into the void 'created by the unwillingness of other top Tories to undertake official tertaining on Parliament Hill, ; it was Mr. Speaker Mitchener and his wife who stepped in, giving frequent lunch parties in the Speaker's Chambers, and formal dinners and official re- ceptions, and especiaily enter- taining the ambassadors of for- eign powers as protocol and our national hospitality de- manded. GIVE LIBERAL DUE Speaker Michener suffered the humiliation of seeing a rec- ord number of four deputy Speakers promoted over his head into the Conservative cabi- net: Courtemanche, Sevigny, Flynn and Martineau. When his term of office ended,' he was dismissed unrewarded into the limbo, in shocking contrast to his Liberal predecessors who, whenever possible, received the golden handshake of appoint- ment to cabinet posts, to the Senate, or to a Lieutenant-Gov- ernorship. One of Mr. Pearson's signifi- cant but unannounced decisions is reportedly to harness the best available talent, from whatever party, in the service of Canada--much as President Kennedy has done. Thus among many Liberal appointments, Conservative Roly Michener is said to be tabbed for appoint- ment as ambassador: A job in which he will bring great credit to Canada. Howard Green, who won for himself the title of "Mr. Nuclear Disarmament", is to have further opportunity to work for Canada and for humanity, possibly through ap- pointment to the Senate. And another prominent Conservative is being considered for the re- sponsible position as head of a government commission. These are some of the sub- merged nine-tenths of the deci- sions made by Prime Minister Pearson; during the 60 days Canada is only seeing, like an iceberg, the exposed one-tenth.
