Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1963---PAGE 6 Need Heroic Measures To Clean Up Lakes Mess The Great Lakes shipping situ- ation has been such a fear-ridden, blood-spattered mess that only the most heroic measures could be ex- pected to deal with it. Mr. Justice Norris, who was appointed as a one-man commission to investigate it, has now recommended such measures, His report provides the federal government with both the facts and the guidance for swift and effective action. The most controversial of the Norris recommendations is for a trusteeship over the three mari- time unions involved in the situ- ation. The Canadian Maritime Union, and its parent, the Cana- dian Labor Congress are under- standably reluctant to submit union management to any non-union body endowed with such powers as those suggested by Mr. Justice Norris. The Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and General Workers is prepared to accept the trusteeship over its marine mem- bers, but balks at the recommen- dation that would prohibit one union from representing both sea- men and engineers on ships, What the Seafarers Internatidna! Union thinks does not matter, bdecause this is the organization which, with at least the passing co-operation of shipping companies, which has caused all the trouble It. is the SIU, as constituted in Canada at present, which is the main target of the Norris report -- with the Canada Steamship, Lines as one of the secondary targets. The commissioner found that had CSL, with its great power in lake shipping, not played footsie with SIU President Banks, the latter would have found it much more difficult to operate as he did. It is with reason, then, that Canadian union officials suggest that if a trusteeship is deemed necessary, labor, management and government rather than the judge, economist and transportation expert suggested in the report. These are, however, largely ques- tions of detail. What is glaringly evident as a result of the Norris inquiry and report --- and this is the heart of the matter -- is that a situation exists that is too shock- ing, too degrading to be tolerated by any nation which professes to be a democracy. It is to our shame as a nation that the anarchy on our waterways and in our ports has been tolerated as long as it has; that an empire based on brutality and terror could be built in the SIL fashion. But now the rotten mess has been fully revealed, and the government, on our behalf, can wipe out the shame by acting swiftly and decisively to clean it up. Canadian action will probably have international repercussions. Banks has strong allies in the United States, not only in the SIU but in the AFL-CIO, in which the chief of the maritime section, an SIU man, seems to exert a power- ful influence. To Canadian eyes, the influence appears to extend to the labor department of the U.S. government, which has made only half-hearted attempts to get. the powerful American labor leaders in- volved in the Canadian dispute to act with reason and discretion. The Canadian government, how- ever, can put much more pressure on the U.S: than it has yet exerted. It can move to deport Banks. And it can, with the co-operation of Canadian labor and the shipping companies which until now appear to have found it profitable to play with Banks, substantially reduce the power of the SIU if not destroy t ak a force in Canada, The trustee- ship could be the instrument, Whether the government has the determination and courage needed for such a job remains to be seen, ch Staking Their Claims Prime Minister Macmillan, stout- iv insisting that two tarts will hot topple his government, seems to have weathered the savage siorm atirred up by the antics of his erst- while war minister, John Profumo. Wavering Tory MPs have rallied around him, and the British public seems to think of him as more sinned against than sinning. He is determined to lead his party in tne next elechon campaign --- now ex- pected next year ----and uniess another scandal along te ' andermine his already shaky posi- tien, the chances are that he will. Some of his devoted followers, however, are already staking their claims to his job. Reginald Maud- ling. and R. A. Butler, both mem- bers of the cabinet, have made re- cent speeches in which they have, none to subtly, pointed eul tre own qualifications for leadership The British Conservatives do not a leader, but go th rain mysterious process Wh combines back-room negotviahon intuition and meditation.

UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Britain Proves Flexible In Independence Policy By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Strange things are happening in Britain's re- lations with former African colo- nies which: are now independ. ent or are on the verge of in- dependence, Kenya is to become an independent nation on December 12 of this year. On December 31, the Central Afri- can Federation is to be dis solved, and Southern = and Northern Rhodesia and Nyassa land will be on their own as independent countries The purzling thing about these two events is thal while the Central Africa Federation is to be dissolved, the independ. up of Kenya, Uganda, Tangany- up so it can, as an independent country, become part of an Rast African Federation made up of Kenya, Uga da, Tangany ika and possibly Zanzibar, Thus one federation is being ended, while another federation of for- mer British territories is to come into being DIFFERENT METHODS Perhaps there is & good rea son behind this apparent dis parity of policies with relation to these two Africa areas The Central African Federa tion was imposed on its three members by their white rulers before they became. independ- ent, and before Northern Rhode- sia and Nyassaland had elected native African governments, On the other hand, the partners seeking to form the East Afri- can Federation, with the excep- tion of Zanzibar, are all -self- governed nations, ruled by Afri- cans, who. have, of their own volition, and without any pres sure from the British govern. ment, decided to form a new federation The Central African Fedora tion was doomed as son as na- tive Africans took over the reins of government. That may have been because they had no voice in forming that federa- tion when it was created, 'Thus the Eas: African situation 1s quite different, and may be more successful because it ts the outcome of agreement reached belween sovereign coun- tries governed by the majority race in each case FRUITLESS MEETING President Kennedy has little reason to fec! satisfied with the results of his brief meeting with Prime Minister Macmillan Apart from reaching some kind of understanding on the stand to be take at the meeting in Moscow to. discuss new propos. als for a nuclear test ban, the United States president found little consolation in his talks with 'Britain's prime minister He had no success in trying to win Britain over to support: ing his proposals for an inter. nationally » manned fleet of sur- face shipped armed with Polaris missiles, Since that was his main objective in meeting the prime minister, it is nol sur- prising that reports persist that President Kennedy was greatly displeased with the results of the meeting Mr. Macmillan, however, had rauged public opinion in Brit- an accurately when he. turn. ed down the United States pro posals, and had the whole sub- ject put aside for further study As for the British public, the more they study the president's plan the less: they like it GOING CONTINENTAL Britain is going continental in one more direction, Its stations are now using the 24-hour con, tinental time system, Very soon, it is anticipated, Britain will adopt the decimal currency sys- tem which is in use on the con- tinent, as well as in Canada and the United States The latest move in going con- tinental is seen in the anneunce- ment made by Ernest Marples, minister of transport, that con- tinental-type traffic signs, using the same symbols as in Europe, are to be introduced through- out Britain Mr, Marples has accepted the recommendations contained in a report issued by a special com- mittee on traffic signs. This re- port describes the change to the European system of signs as "a positive invesiment in road BY-GONE DAYS 30 YEARS AGO Farmers of the district were worried over the long drought and predicted a grain shortage in the winter Ernie Marks Sr., propmetor of the new Martin Theatre, was reelected: president of the As: sociated Theatres, Limited, at the annual meeting held in To rento F.

Present proposals are that the government will! bear 60 per cent of the cost and the local authorities 40 per cent, And that, of course, will bring protests from the local authorities, With the change of continental traffic signs, automobile organ- izations are now speculating on how long it will be before the continental system of driving on the right side of the road, in- Stead of the left as in Britain, will be adopted GAINING GROUND Slowly but surely Prime Minister Macmillan is regaining some of the ground which he lost over the Profumo affair and the recent spy episodes, and is rising in popularity, as shown by public opinion polls. A month ago, only 34 per cent of those questioned were satis. fied with his work as prime minister, That figure has gone up to 38 per cent. A month ago, 33g per cen were not satis. fied with him as prime minis- ter, That figure has gone down to 47% per cent, Part of that revival on the part of the prime minister is attributed to public sympahy which is very much on his side afer the Profumo scandal, But some credit must also go to Mr, Macmillan himself who-in_ speeches made since then, has " solidified his position as the unchallenged leader of his party, He made a particularly fine impression in the speech he made al the close of the two day debate on defence in which he gave a forthright statement of Britain's determination to se- cure a nuclear test ban, and control of nuclear arms so as to keep them out of the hands of Germany, For once, the op. position could find nothing in his speech te bring interrup- tions and interventions from their side of the House of Commons.
