Be Oshawa Zunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Kennedy Vs. de Gaulle In European Contest If President Kennedy wished to make his European visit the occa- sion of a popularity contest with President de Gaulle of France, he must now fee! highly gratified. The West Germans -- the people he wished most to impress -- have given him an almost hysterical wel- - €come, the warmth of which should be noticed even by the top-lofty de Gaulle, : It quickly became apparent that what Mr. Mr. Kénnedy wanted was a direct approach to the people of West Europe. When he spoke it was to the people rather than to their leaders. It was to them he wanted to carry the message that the United States pins its hopes on the Atlantic alliance and that the American com. mitment in Europe is absolute. His message, too, is a forceful rejection of the de Gaulle doctrine of dis- unity. Indeed, Mr. Kennedy is re- cognizing that de Gaulle represents as great a threat as the Russians to Atlantic unity and European pro- gress. Paul-Henri Spaak of Belgium, an ardent advocate of the new Europe, writes in. the current issue of Foreign Affairs magazine that de Gaulle's "grand design" of a loose continental alliance dominated by France is as outmoded as the triple alliance of 1914. "France -- 'or at any rate, offi- cial France -- no longer -believes in the two basic principles that led to the formation of NATO and the Common Market," writes Spaak, "Té no longer believes that the de- fense of the free world is indivi- sible, and it is looking for a substi- tute formula, It also does not believe in the community spirit." But Spaak denies that de Gaulle speaks for Europe. The Belgian leader urges closer consultation within NATO with an integration of conventional and nuclear weapons of defence. He advocates further ad- vance of the Common Market con- cept of economic unity. These ideas, he declares, are over- whelmingly shared by European statesmen 'and peoples.: "The dis- sident 'element constituted by cur- rent French policy may be a cause of delay," he says, "but it cannot prevent the ultimate success of the great undertakings to which Europe and the United States have set their hands." Pleas For Red Ensign In the past six months a million signatures have been obtained for petitions urging members of Par- liament to "save the Canadian en- sign" as Canada's official flag. This is surprising because it has always seemed that most of those who are really very interested in the flag controversy are persons who want a change to something new. However, even if the red ensign has never seemed to be widely dis- played, it has had semi-official sta- tus and limited use for so many years that perhaps is should not be surprising that a great many per- sons want to keep it. It was in 1892 that merchant ships of Cana- dian registry were authorized to fly a flag with the Union Jack in the upper quarter, next to the staff, with the badge of the Canadian coat of arms in the fly on a red background. In 1924 Parliament ap- proved the flag for use on any Canadian building abroad, and an Order in Council dated Sept. 5, 1945, states that it is appropriate to fly the red ensign to mark any significant Canadian occasion. A similar flag, but with a blue back- ground, is flown by ships in the public service and by all men-of- war. In point of fact, the badge of the coat of arms that is incorporat- ed in both the red and blue en- signs is not as old as those flags. This badge -- a shield displaying the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland and France, with a sprig of maple leaves below -- came into use only in 1921. Originally the badge showed the arms of six prov- inces surrounded by a wreath of maple leaves. However, as the number of provinces increased to nine this design became cluttered and difficult of recognition and it was changed when the present arms of Canada were proclaimed in 1921. The present government appar- ently believes it can find a new flag design that will be generally acceptable to Canadians. This may be a lot easier said than done, particularly if a million or more persons hold a sufficiently strong opinion about the red ensign to petition Parliament for its reten- tion. To date no one other design seems to have more than individual support, although something like 6,000 different designs have been submitted to Ottawa since 1946. And if the government does come up with a new flag that gains the approval of at least a majority of the members of Parliament, that would be no. guarantee that it would also gain the approval of a majority of the citizens. It is likely that those who have an affection for the red ensign would go on fly- ing it even if some other design had official approval. Ombudsman Supported The ombudsman idea has been given an offitial blessing by the Glassco Royal Commission. A "par- liamentary commissioner" to whom the public could turn with its grie- vances is the recommendation made in the concluding paragraph of the final volume of the commission's report. In their summing up of a two- year investigation, of government organization, the commisioners state that the increasing magnitude of the activities of departments and agencies tends to remove cabinet The Oshawa Times T.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The London County Council, through two of its special commitees has given a firm and definite thumbs down signal to the utilization transportation, which would use the air and the river to relieve the city's traffic problems These two committees, in a joint report, gave their views on the possibilities of using heli- copters, hovercraft, hydrofoils and a monorail system to take traffic off the congested streets. But in each case its findings were decidedly in the negative. Because of this London's transport facilities will con- tinue to lag behind those of many cities on the continent of YOUR HEALTH Europe, which have made pro- vision for at least helicopter services and the use of a mono- rail service between cities like Brussels, Amsterdam, Bonn, Cologne and Paris, and they are well patronized Since these aircraft can land on small heliports located in the centre of the -cities, they are consid- ered great time-savers by trav- ellers who use them. NO HELIPORT The view of the London Coun- ty Council committees is that London is unlikely to have a heliport in the foreseeable fu- ture. There is, of course, a small helicopter station on the Thames at Battersea, but it has only limited use, and is con- fined to providing a landing place for chartered helicopters. Tt could never serve as a base for commercial helicopter ser- vices, The committee's report asserts that because of the cost and character of the helicop- ter, it can only play a very minor part in London passen- ger transort. For the present, it says, the helicopter's activi- ties, so far as the London area is concerned, must be confined to charter flights. Even then, the committees say, it will give rise to plan- ning and amenity problems, Un- til the noise of these aircraft can be kept down to an accep- table level, thé London County Council will strongly oppose the building of a commercia) heli- port in London. DUBIOUS ON HOVERCRAFT In spite of the fact that the hovercraft has proved itself a useful means of transportation across the Bristol Channel, and that a tourist passenger service by hovercraft will soon be op- erating on the Thames, the IXC is not impressed by its possibilities as a means of river transport. Its committee has reached the conclusion that "the hovercraft could not be usefully exploited on the Thames." It will therefore be interesting to assess the value of the services. being establish- ed by the Denny Company's hovercraft when it operates on - the river this summer. Time To Correct Whiplash Damage By J. G. MOLNER, M.D Dear Dr, Moiner: I suffered whiplash and back contusions in @ car wreck several months ago. Should I expect any future ill effects--MRS.-R. K. The contusions probably are minor skin and muscle injuries Whiplash is the result of the rapid forward - and - backward whipping of the head and neck It isn't a specific injury, but merely implies damage to neck muscles and possibly even the upper spine I suspect that the term '"'whip- lash" sometimes is overused. It's a rather vivid, ominous- sounding word But if severe damage has been done to the bones, muscles or cartilage, it may take time to correct the condition. Proper treatment may include a special leather collar to hold the bones and muscles in correct position while they heal. Dear Dr. Moiner: The manu- facturer of a product for aller- gies recentl} stated that if you have more than three or four "colds" a year, you probably have an allergy instead. What is your opinion? I get many colds each year and often have runny nose, drainage in the back of my throat, and occa- sional sneezes, Would you ad- vise allergy tests I have taken pills for "allergic rhinitis." That's what my doctor called it. Isn't that the medical term for hay fever--C, W. Three or four colds a year is TODAY IN HISTORY - By The Canadian Press June 28, 1963 . . The Treaty of Versailles, which drew up conditions of peace for the defeated pow- ers in the First World War and established the League of Nations, was signed 44 years. ago today--in 1919. The original copy of the treaty, ratified Jan .10, 1920 now is in the archives of the French Republic. The treaty contained clauses. to establish the League of Nk. tions and to provide for international action to pre- serve world peace 1914 -- Archduke Ferdn- and of Austria was assassin- ated. 3%7--Pope Paul I died. probably about the average number, If you have more than that, either you have more colds or you have something else-- maybe an allergy. I can't quar- rel with the statement, but I don't like what it implied--that therefore you should resort to patent medicines Yes, I suggest an allergist. If you find that you are allergic to something, staying away from it is the best solution. If you can't do that, you may have success with desensitization in- jections. Or if the trouble is mild enough, anti - histamine drugs may be adequate. (You would find out, if you. investi- gated, that the product for aller- gies is an anti-histamine.) No, allergic rhinitis is not ex- actly a synonym for hay fever. Hay fever is an allergy to rag- weed and similar pollens. It makes the victim sneeze, makes his eyes and nose water. An al- lergic rhinitis is similar but not the same. It makes the nose run Objections are also raised to the use of hydrofoils, for the reason that they would be men- aced by flotsam on the river and might have trouble passing under bridges at or near high water. These objections are at least more valid than those raised against the helicopter and hovercraft MONORAIL OBJECTIONS The report sees very serious difficulties in adopting a mono- rail system of transportation, even to and from the London Airport. It quotes the London Transport as saying that there would be additional difficulties because of the narrowness of main streets and the problems of interchange of passengers between high-level monorails and the underground railway. Looking into the future, how- ever, there is still some mea- sure of hope. The report. says: We feel that at this stage these novel forms of transport do not offer any considerable pros- pects of alleviating London's traffic problems, Having regard to the progress of science in this field, however, it may well be that some of the problems encountered will ultimately be overcome BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO One of the oldest firms in Oshawa changed hands when Harry D.

This contrasts vividly and signifi- cantly with the one sharp clap of winter thunder in February, which struck only the small Conservative cabinet group in Ottawa, yet led to The Seven Days that shook 'Canada. Senator Josie Quart, of Que- bec City, former president of the Women's Conservative As- sociation, tells me_ that: "Eighty per cent of Conserva- tives I meet with across Can- ada want George Hees to re- lace John Diefenbaker as party leader." She says that hek_meetings with. ers and suppo ' the spirit gloomy. Then when somebody offers her a drink, she springs her gimmick. "T would like a George Hees Jack Rabbit," she says, What's a Jack Rabbit? It is scoten and drambuie, mixed equally and neat. Why does she call it a George Hees Jack Rabbit? Because the first time she ever tasted it, George offered it to her in Bermuda, HEES CHEERS PARTY Hearing the magic name George Hees, Josie says, the mood of the gathering at once becomes cheerful, optimistic and forward-looking. The. talk stresses that George Hees would be a popular and win- ning leader; and how mean was the smear spread about, that Hees was a traitor to re- sign from the cabinet, "In boxing, a defeated heavy- weight champion can never come back -- and Diefenbaker is a floored heavyweight," Hew- ard Grafftey, the young Con- servative MP from Quebec told me. This great admirer of 'his leader added: "But where is his successor?" The opposite view, most widely held on the Prairies, is represented by Ernie Pascoe, MP for Moose Jaw, who says: "Dief is our leader, and he's all right." But a. conflicting Prairie sentiment is reprer sented by Douglas Harkness, who resigned from the cabinet in February -- leading to the quip sent me by one reader: "Dief's grave has been Doug." Doug Harkness' view of the party leadership today is re- vealed by his eloquent anecdote that Harry Hays, now minister of agriculture, . attributed his Liberal victory in the all-time Tory stronghold of Calgary South to one word--- Diefen- baker. So voices representing women, youth and the group of pre-Dief Tory MPs look forward to a change of leadership, while QUEEN'S PARK the "Neo-Tories" of Saskatch- ewan still support "Our John." MIKE REVERSES ROLES The rumblings across the country are showing up as cri- tical resolutions and withdrawn endorsements at Tory meetings. Most significant, letters are be- ing written by local organiza- tions and by many private in- dividuals--some direct to party leader Diefenbaker--urging his retirement. Optimists in the "dump Dief" movement pre- dict success within eight months; pessimists deplore the attempt to cancel the next an- fual meeting, at which obit. cism might come to, a head. The views of othér parties? in Parliament are typified by Murdo Martin, NDP member from Timmins, who told rme: "The greatest surprise of His Parliament is the way Pearsdn can cut Diefenbaker to ribbons in their exchanges." In 1958 Dief won the greatesa; .electoral triumph in Canadian history; 'in 1962-63 he ran inte unprecedented cabinet criticism and electoral rebuff, What happened in that short. span of time? Why did Dieféen- baker alienate 1,500,000 voteirs in that period? This is the ques- tion which provokes the most varied theories, and the most animated discussion in Ottawa today. - Meanwhile the rumble of that thunder grows louder and more widespread within the Toryr ranks, just when near-disasteit unexpectedly strikes their 0 ponents. ' Shadow Of Stalin Still Lies Dark Over World By JOHN RODERICK TOKYO (AP)--Death a dec- ade ago rid the earth of Josef Stalin, Yet, in 1963 the shadow of his thought and personality lies heavy over the world, Two men -- Soviet Premier Khrushchev and Communist China's leader Mao Tse-tung-- and their adherents now are en- gaged in a great and acrimon- ious debate, The proposition: Are Stalin's theories of unrelenting struggle --up to war--against the West, and human regimentation at home, valid in the present era? Khrushchev says no; Mao Says yes. ' Both men are apparently im- movably committed to their en- trenched positions. Despite the fact that the Chinese and Soviet parties have agreed to a below- the-summit conference in Mos- cow July 5, the end of the con- flict is not in sight. It may drag on for years. MAO HATES K Mao has scarcely bothered to conceal his hatred for "that man" in the Kremlin whom the Chinese have variously de- scribed as a "dupe" and "timid as a mouse." As of now, Khrushchev can- not hope to threaten Mao's po- sition in China, backed as he is by a solid phalanx of party leaders who share his rigid outlook. 'Khrushchev, who regards Stalin's theories as dangerous and outmoded, has carved out a new road based on domestic relaxation and '"'peaceful coex- istence" -- non - violent eco- nomic competition with com- munism's enemies. Mao, whose populous country is poor and backward, says Stalin's hard formulas are ap- plicable to the underdeveloped nations of Asia and Africa; only revolution--not peaceful coexis- tence--can bring them indepen- dence, Ontario Liberals Have New Symbol pa By DON O°'HEARN TORONTO The Liberals have a new "symbol." It's on the cover of their new program--The Liberal Plan for Ontario. The symbol is a modernistic L, with the lower branch of the letter ending up in an arrow. When printed in white on bright liberal red it looks very effective. But we are sure somebody is going to say it looks like a crooked Liberal heading no- where. NOT PUBLICIZED The program itself didn't get very much publicity. Not what is deserved for the occasion that it marks -- the first real Grit policy statement in more than 20 years. There are two reasons for this. One is that while the program as such is new, most of the points in it aren't. Most of them were discussed at the party policy conference last winter, And the booklet is largely a compilation of state- menis that were approved here. The second reason is that the party didn't want too much pub- licity at this point. The program still may be de- veloped between now and elec- tion time. Other points may be brought out before the official election platform is finalized. And there is some fear that if the program is given too much publicity now there could be an inhibition against adding to it. The document is being given wide distribution throughout the party and will do its basic job. immediately--it will give party workers something to talk about. NEED CHANGE When the party has fear of not being able to add to its pro- gram as it goes along it is jus- tified. For any party today, it seems, needs to make such ad- ditions. Already, for instance, some points in the program seem to be outmoded. For example, the proposal on the Ontario Provincial Police says that Liberals will establish the OPP as an autonomous body under a commissioner re- sponsible to the government operations and administra- The government in changing the OPP has at least moved near to this goal, Presumably, however, there are still improvements needed in the OPP and the opposition parties should be busy at work finding out what they are. In these modern times we all have to keep thinking ahead. WA! His policies of collectivization and regimentation--'"the indus- trial great leap forward" and the rural communes -- are in- herited from Stalin. Mao says they are workable models for the have-not nations of Asia and Africa. DEBATE OVER METHODS Boiled down to its essentials, -- the great debate swirls around ways and means of 'burying' the non-Communist West and replacing its shattered state systems with communism, Despite the terrifying stakes involved, the .Western powers appear to have been caught without a plan or a. policy to ward off the future blows which may fall or to influence the course of the great debate. For them, as it was for the statesmen of Hitler's day, time may well be running out. Distilled to. their essentials, here are some of the prime ig- sues: PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE Khrushchev--The doctrines of Marx and Lenin, which Stalin followed, decreed: struggle against "imperialism" and said war was inevitable as long as it existed. The nuclear bomb, with its terrible destructiveness, dictates a new approach, one which will stave off war. Mao -- The. Marxist-Leninist. Stalinist line has not been changed by the atom bomb, which is a "'paper tiger." There can be no co-existence with the enemy who plots to kill you. boldness, not capitulation; Struggle, not compromise, and war, if necessary, are required. ON REVOLUTION Khrushchev Communism can win in capitalist countries through the use of existing par- liamentary machinery and come promise. Revolutions in emerg- ing countries must not be per- mitted to touch off a nuclear conflict. Mao--Violent seizure of the state apparatus is the Marxist means to achieve power. The Western govern: ments must be smashed. The fear of nuclear war should not deter revolution. SOLD MANY GEMS Sales of South African dia- monds reached a record total Of $269,559,752 in 1963.
