She Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1963---PAGE 6 Army Manpower Use Needs Thorough Study Lt. Gen. Geoffrey Walsh, Chief of the General Staff, told the Com- mons defence committee last week that the Canadian army doesn't have the manpower to fulfill all its present requirements, and that it is short of necessary equipment as well as men, The committee should probe deeply into this report, for several reasons. There is no suggestion that Gen. Walsh was trying to hoodwink the committee or press the case for the army's getting a bigger chunk of defence money, But the Canadian army has been severely and justi- fiably criticized in the past for not making the best use of the man- power available to it, and there is no evidence to show that the situ- ation has been much improved, It would be interesting to find out, for example, how many soldiers on any given day were engaged in strictly military training and how many were scrubbing floors, pressing pants, gardening, driving senior officers on non-military duty and otherwise occupying themselves at jobs. difficult to justify as soldiering. Gen, E. L. M. Burns, who com- manded rear echelons as well as field formations during World War II, wrote a book during the Fifties in which he argued plausibly that it was misuse of available manpower rather than lack of volunteers that kept the Canadian infantry in Italy and Northwest Europe chronically short of replacements. Too many men were being used on the lines of communication and in corps which could not fully employ the avail- able men and suffered little wast- age. It is a matter of record that Canada used more men in the rear to keep one man in the forward battle. zone than did the United States, Britain or the Soviet Union. Has the organization been improved since then? The committee should find out. Considering the amount of money which has been and is being spent on defence, Gen. Walsh's complaint about equipment shortages is shock- ing. It confirms the believe that Canadians have not been getting. their money's worth for their de- fence dollars. Gen. Walsh was not talking about highly sophisticated items found only in the most highly developed armies, but about such fundamental bits of military equip- ment as_ tanks, reconnaissance vehicles, military aircraft and per- sonnel carriers, One can fairly wk? Where in the name of Napoleon has all the money been going? Defence Minister Hellyer says his department is carrying out a review of policy and the Canadian role in domestic and allied defence, on land, sea and in the air. It is to be hoped that the study will also cover the organization of the available man- power and the procurement of equipment. Such a study appears to be badly needed. Legacy To Our Children The Canada Council, in its sixth annual report, makes a plausible argument for greater state patronage of the arts in a modern society. It says: 'Is patronage of any kind for the arts desirable in a modern society? .... Few people any longer seriously question the need of subsidy for our material welfare. No one, for instance, will question the value to our wheat production of the finan- cial assistance given over the years by the Department of Agriculture to develop rust-resistant strains, This has helped to strengthen our position in world markets and has been of benefit to the Canadian people as a whole. "But, as the Department of Agri- culture in the development of rust- resistant strains makes provision for our material welfare, should we not also make provision for the welfare of our mind and spirit? For when all the grain grown in our lifetime is reaped and milled and baked, and when ail the products of the bakeries have been eaten and digested, and when the digestions which digest them. lie --- as they will lie -- under the ground in which the grain was grown, then what will remain? A large part of the inheritance which we hand on to our children will be some novels and a book or two of poetry, some fine buildings and a number of paintings, the small delights of things well made, and music. For against the of time these strains are the most resistant," It is a strong argument, and there really is no answer to it. But the Council also moans about its inade- quate funds -- and that reminds, too, of the legacy we are leaving all rust os SUBSCRIPTION RATES our children and our children's chil- dren. It is a legacy of enormous and growing debt, because we have been acting like reckless spendthrifts instead of prudent parents. We not only have been spending the in- terest on our national fortune but also have been dipping deeply into capital. And we have been doing this because, like the irresponsible head of a young family, we have been unwilling to put off purchases of things we cannot afford; we want everything now, whether we can afford it or not. This load of debt, along with the novels and the poems and the music, will be our legacy to those who follow us. Most of what is: being: done by the Canada Council is worthwhile; much of it is necessary; some of it is chichi waste. It should have more funds, a bigger budget. But under present circumstances, these funds cannot come out of the federal treasury unless the federal government shows more courage and vision in its selection of priorities for spending.

In Holland and Italy, there is no statutory pro- vision for such holidays, but the periods normally allowed range all the way from eight to and from 12 ) a statu. tory minimum of 12 days, which is exactly the same as the law provides for in the United Kingdom. Luxembourg allows only eight days a year of paid holidays PUBLIC HOLIDAYS On top of these holiday per- iods, however, there are C2r- tain public holidays in each country, These vary from one country to another, In Britain, e is a statutory minimum ive or six one-day public At the other end of seale is Italy, with 16 or 17 days, some of these being the religious. holidays whic are customary in Roman, Cathaiic countries. In Germany the ranges from 10 to 13 ing between Catholic and rotestant areas.

But in spite of the strong pres- sure for harmonization in many aspects of the Community's life, there seems to be no great need to harmonize holidays.

OTTAWA---Firstly, I wish to thank Patrick Nicholson for giv- ing me the opportunity of put. Aing before you some of my thoughts regarding the trans- portation problems of Canada. I am interested in transporta- tion because of its importance to every citizen in Canada. The ability to move goods efficiently and quickly, at the lowest cost possible, is of importance to all of the consumers of Canada be- eause it affects the price of everything we eat, wear or use, "Space will not permit me to WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING It is some- to hear a jurist and The Economist: thing of a shock French Canadian businessman nes dissecting the irrelevance of the British North American Act to modern conditions, demanding a new confederate constitution wit none of the colonia! overtones of 1867 and founded on joint pro vincial and federal aims, with no false dependence on Com- monweaith or Crown ('these mean nothing") and with rela tions with Brita the U a States or the E an Econom.

I can understand the sense of outrage which I am told runs through this industry from one end of Canada to the other be- cause Parliament blithely goes ahead and makes national transportation policies as if trucking wasn't even an indus: try, and as if it had no ciaim whatever to being any part of federal transportation pro- grams. MANY JOBS IN TRUCKING The direct employment in the trucking industry is approxi- mately 100,000, Not one political party can point to a single question placed on the Order Paper of the House of Commons about the fate of a trucking employee or group of trucking employees, displaced by moves within the trucking industry, such as clos: ing repair facilities or, lei us take a fleet operator--hit by a decline of traffic in several com- munities that were, in essence on the branch lines of the com- pany, closed its terminals in- those communities, displacing the employees Yet the records of Parliament show questions on the Orders of the Day stretching back over the years, about similar moves by the railways, affecting rail- way employees A trucking employee is a hu- man being, just like a railway employee, He, too, has a family to feed, clothe and educate, As an individual he is no less im- portant than a railway em- ployee. There are 100,000 of these employees across Canada Under the British North America Act all interprovincial and international trucking comes under Federal jurisdic- tion, Nine years ago, Pariia. ment implemented a form of federal control for the trucking industry -- The Motor Vehicle Transport Act.

It is its re. sponsibility, Constitutionally it cannot farm it out to the prov- inces, The constitutional posi- tion is immovable, RAILWAYS ARE FAVORED The trucking industry has as much a claim on federal atten- tion as any other form of trans. port--rail, water, air, pipeline ete. The trucking industry moved 156,000,000 tons of freight in 1961, This tremendous volume does not mean financial health for the trucking industry any more than it does for the rail ways, Recent reports show a return of 144 per cent and a net return of less than one per cent of revenue, This means. that either the industry is not charg- ing adequate rates, or opeyating and overhead costs are too high We are now paying to the railways subsidies of well over $200,000,000 per year with Par. liament's specific instructions to the railways to reduce rates that are in competition with the truckers. This -has serious ef fects to the trucking industry and is a grave injustice to it, We are discriminating against those who prefer to ship by highway transport, The Macpherson Report points out, the only shipper Paria- ment seams to be interested in is the shipper by rail, The Royal Commission proposed that where subsidies are paid to aid shippers, Parliament should not discriminate against any form of transport, permitting the industrialist, the manufac- turer, or the agriculturist te choose the form of transport best suited for the movement of his traffic. I strongly recom- mend that Parliament form fed. eral policy that includes all forms. @ transportation, \.
