She Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St, E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1963----PAGE 6 Canada Not Yet Ready For West Indian Union The suggestion of Canon Audley Johnson, of Barbados, that a group of British West Indian islands be- come Canada's 11th province, is not a new one. It has been made many times in the past, and it is under- standable, considering the close con- nection between Canada and the West Indies from the days when Canadian sailing ships carried dried todfish to the islands and came back loaded with sugar and rum. But it Was not a workable proposition then and it is not now. It may be in the future. It would be pleasant if Canada had a sub-tropical province of isl- ands in the sun of the Jewelled Car- ?bbean -- pleasant in a day-dream- ing sort of way that is. But harsh reality explodes the dream. Canada already has a problem of Unity, with confederation under constant and strong attack. This problem would be greatly magnified with the addition of another area with a vastly different way. of life. Canada already has a serious un- employment problem -- but not nearly so serious as that which ex- ists in the West Indian islands, The widespread poverty and high birth rates of the islands would play hob with Canada's expanding system of social security; family allowances alone would be a staggering burden, Union would mean unimpeded travel between the old provinces and the new, and that would also mean unimpeded immigration from the new. to the old. Let's not kid our- selves that this would not create enormous social and economic prob- lems. Britain had to apply brakes to such immigration, and is not even close to solving the problems created by it during the postwar years, This may be a selfish attitude, but it is realistic. We can clear our- selves of the charge of selfishness, however, by doing more to help the West Indians reach the stage where union with Canada would be a prac- tical proposition. Nationalist Influence The surge of Quebec national- ism could have a far-reaching effect on the shape of national political parties as well as on the form of eonfederation. Quebec Conservatives are the most openly unhappy with John Diefenbaker as leader; they are even more restless than the Ontario Tories. Prime Minister Pearson has been accepted only on a sort of sufferance by Quebec Lib- erals. Quebec New Democrats want a French-speaking "co-leader" of their party, And now several Social Credit constituency associations in Quebec have passed resolutions call- ing for the resignation of Robert Thompson as national party leader. A statement issued by the chief organizer of the Quebec wing of the Social Credit party said the resolu- tions would be discussed at the an- nual meeting of Le Ralliement des Creditistes. It did not say how many constituency groups are urg- ing Mr. Thompson's resignation, but it did state that the anti- Thompson faction proposes a na- tional eonvention immediately to choose a new leader. Another "sep- aratist" group of Creditistes favor a complete break between the Que- bec wing and the Social Credit Lea- gue of Canada. The Social Credit breakup would probably occur even without the nationalist sentiment in Que- bec. There is little rhyme or reason in Social Credit doctrine anyway, and in the mouths of Caouette and most of his colleagues it becumes utter gibberish -- a melange of em- otionalism and cheap appeals to ig- norance, far removed from any eco- nomic realism. The effect of nationalism on the other parties will be more subtle, Conceivably the Quebec New Dem- ocrats could make a partial break; they have always been a restless lot, but they are too numerically weak to force policy on the national party. The Liberals can no longer rely on blind allegiance in Quebec. The Con- servatives must seek fresh support with fresh ideas and approaches; their National Union allies have erumbled, The result is change -- for all the parties. Kennedy Tax Attacked President Kennedy's proposed tax on stocks and bonds bought from non-American sources is run- ning into as much bitter opposition as did Finance Minister Gordon's budget proposal to curb foreign buying of Canadian securities. Mr. Gordon had to back down, and so may Mr. Kennedy. Most of the U.S. financial com- munity seems critical of the Ken- nedy proposal -- which has so much significance to the Canadian econ- omy. It was the effect on Canada that disturbed one of the leading New York brokerage firms. A rep- resentative of the firm told the U.S. House of Representatives ways and means committee last week that the Canadian government might have to invoke foreign exchange controls if Congress approved the Kennedy proposal.

University Cothcort reet, adian foréign exchange reserves after the Kennedy proposal was first announced last month, he said that "we observed the damage which could result to the Canadian economy before it was proposed that new issues of Canadian securi- ties were to be exempt from the op- eration' of this law. There is a strong possibility more pressure may be exerted on the Canadian dollar if this bill is enacted and this might force the Canadian govern- ment to invoke foreign exchange controls." It might indeed. No Canadian government can stand idly by while exchange reserves vanish, however reluctant it might be to impose con- trois. Other prominent representa- tives of the U.S. investment com- munity, including the Investment Bankers' Association of America, have cautioned the House commt- tee that instead of retaining dollars in the United States, the proposal could trigger a large-scale flight of capital to other countries. That, of course, would be exactly the oppo- site of the effect sought by the President.

'ARE REPORT FROM U.K. Mortgages Reveal Boom In Housing By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- One of the most noticeable signs of the new affluent society which has come into being in the United King- dom in recent years is the rush of people, formerly quite con- tent to live in rented houses, to own their own homes There is.a boom demand for homes from would-be purchas- ers, and the building societies are finding themselves flooded with applications for loans. There is one fiy in the oint- ment. The interest rates which these societies have to charge for mortgages are so high that they have in a great many cases acted as a barrier to the pur- chase of a home on mortgage. The boom in home purchasing is shown by figures issued by the Building Societies' Associa- tion, It reports that in the quar- ter ending June 30, mortgages completed rose over last year by $153 million to a record total of $489 million PLEA FOR AID This situation has caused the association to make a plea to the government to help them re- duce their mortgage rates, Rep- resenting 193 different building societies, the association says that any general reduction in building society mortgage: rates this year is unlikely. In its monthly bulletin it makes its plea to the government, It says: "If the government were to give building societies an appre- ciable tax concession this could be passed on to home owners in the form of reduced mortgage rates."' The association said there has been some speculation in build- ing society circles as to whether the great boom in owner-occupa- tion had reached its peak DEMAND GROWING "Any such fears were proved groundiess, because, during the June quarter, the demand for mortgages returned to full strength so that the main prob- lem of the movement is, once again, to attract funds rather than lend them,"' it goes on, "An important factor in main- taining the heavy demand for mortgages is the consistent rise in the price of homes, particu- larly in London and southeast England, where more and more peopl seem determined to live." YOUR HEALTH The association is greatly in- terested in new building meth- ods which are now being spon- sored by the government. Its hope is that these methods will result in homes being built at less cost than is possible under the old standard methods. But it is doubtful if any dramatic results along this line can be expected in the immediate fu- ture The building societies are also keenly interested in the move- ment also sponsored by the gov ernment, to experiment with Canadian-type houses, built from Canadian timber, The ex- periment will include -the build- ing of 200 of these houses in various parts of the country, to ascertain their suitability for English conditions, and how much they can saye the pros- pective home-owner by lower building costs Chiggers Afflict 3-Year-Old Child By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My three- year-old son has been gefting chiggers, The doctor told me to dust his clothes with sulphur, but it doesn't seem to help. I haven't dusted his bed clothes Would the sulphur hurt his eyes or do any damage if it got in his mouth? Is it possible for the chiggers to get in his system and do real damage?--Mrs, RM The sulphur dust might (or might not) irritate his eyes, but would not be harmful if he got some in his mouth. However, there are some other tricks for combatting chiggers These pesky mites attach themselves to the skin, then drop off in about four days after having caused. violent itching. The itch is from a fluid which the chigger injects into the skin Scratching the areas may, obviously, lead to infection, but the chiggers do not invade be- yond the skin, so you need have no fear of systematic harm BY-GONE DAYS 15 YEARS AGO Burton Russell was awarded the A.

Presumabiy he doesn't roam too far. Take pieces of black cardboard and set them up cdgewise on the ground in various likely places, The chig- gers, if in the area, will climb to the top edge of the card- board Once you have found the place, or places, spray the area, The U.S. department of agriculture recommends chlior- dane, toxaphane or lindane. Children should be kept out of the area until the spray has dried For the victim, washing with a thick, soapy lather will re- move most of the chiggers, but where itchy spots remain--from the insect's injected fluid--dab them with antiseptic For people who know they are going inte a chigger-in- fested area, clothing can be impregnated with a repellant. Dimethyl phthalate or benzyl benzoate can be used for this Add the repellant to a soapy solution, then swish clothes Sround in it until they are Soaked, then let them dry BROUGHT INDUSTRY When export of English cotton machines and designs were banned, Samuel Slater, a mas- ter mechanic, smuggied plans out in his head to the United States FRONT-END March On Washington May Trigger Violence Plans for a mass march on Washington Aug. 28 by 100,000 Negroes demanding racia] equality have given police in the U,S, capital the jitters, In this story, Cana- dian Press correspondent- Harold Morrison tells why. By HAROLD MORRISON WASHINGTON (CP) -- Ever 6ince riots broke out among white and Negro high schools students at a 1962 Thanksgiving Day football final, resulting in injuries to 400 persons, Wash- ington police have been ex- tremely sensitive about mass gutherings on the streets. They are worried about the planned Aug. 28 march by 100,000 or more Negroes. They wish it would not take place. But since the Negroes are determined, the police have acquiesced. There will be a march down the streets of Washington to the imposing Abraham Lincoln Memorial. But there will be no march on Congress--and there will be no counter-march The Negroes want to impress @n congressmen their ardent support . for President Ken- nedy's new civil rights legis- lution against which southern Jegisiators threaten a filibuster, They want to show the legis- lators the Negroes are united and strong; that they are in- creasingly impatient with sec- ond-class citizenship But the police fear a mass demonstration could lead to violence. They already have been warned by some Negro leaders that the incidents of Birmingham, Ala.; Jackson, Miss,, and other southern com- munities could be duplicated on Washington streets NAZIS HAVE PLANS As an example, when the Ne- groes announced they would march, the small but vocal American Nazi party said it would counter-march and phys- ically block the Negroes if they READERS' VIEWS THANKS Dear Sir: Now that we have reached our goal, I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Oshawa Civic Auditorium Committee, to thank you for the co-operation that you have given us throughout this cam- paign. The role of the newspaper in the community was never more clearly indicated than during this campaign -- to further projects of interest to the com- munity -- and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you personally, I would also appreciate your passing along our thenks to your editorial staff and: adver. tising staff.

The potice became so jittery they announced that when Ne- groes demonstrate on Aug, 28, no other group will be allowed to demonstrate that day. But even if the control crisis is met and overcome on Aug. 28, the job for the policeman in Washington will not be over. Crime is mounting. The num- ber of illegitimate children -- mainly Negroes--is increasing. Police estimate that while Ne- groes represent about 4 per cent of the federal district pop- ulation, Negroes are responsible for about 85 per cent of the local crime And Beri Bernard, staff direc- tor for the U.S, Civil Rights Commission predicts that Washington will become com- pletely black long before 1984, Will the problems of the police then become magnified? The capital, said a_ police official, is like a fishbowl). Sim- iliar incidents could occur in smailer communties and be forgotten, but when they hap- pened in Washington word of them was spread around the world by an ever-alert press corps. An African diplomat is barred by the white man from suit- able Washington accommoda- tion and this becomes an inter- national incident, An Indian dipiomat tries to buy a meal along the highways of Maryland and is refused because of the eolor of his skin, His experi- ence is widely publicized NEGRO'S CRY HEARD And while local press agents extol the magnitude of a plan- ned new cultural centre and $10,000,000 federal aquarium, QUEEN'S PARK many dark-skinned foreign rep- resentatives may be more im- essed by the cry of the Negro hat he faces discrimination in trying to get a better job or a decent house, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, powerful Harlem leader says that if job and housing discrimination is not ended soon in Washington, the city will face one of the worst race riots in the history of America." With the Thanksgiving Day nots still fresh in thelr minds, the polce wonder. They are convinced, they have the plan- ned Aug 28 Negro demonstra- tion well in hand, but they also hua believed they had the foot- bull game between predomin- antly white and: Negro high schools under control. When a Negro player was tossed out of the game for in- fractions, 'ensions mounted, By the time the game was over, {he stadium and surrounding area was in a state of bedlam, Rocks and bottles flew, Ambu- lances and police cars whined through the streets. Even a police dog was bitten, In a later investigation, a bi- racial committee described the rioi as symptomatic of a deeper problem. It indicated that so called "integration" hadn't done much to bring the Negre and the white man closer to gether in the capital What can the Negro expect to gain from a new mass demonstration? It will focus more attention on the civil rights bill and more attention on those who plan to filibuster it to death, they say But there is risk involved, The segregationists are tough, An ugly outbreak of violence likely will be used by them as evis dence that the Negro is ir responsible; that he is not ready to take up the full obligations of citizenship. The wheels of Congress grind siowly Despite demonstrations, the bill can be talked into limbo, And there are indica tions that the Kennedy admin- istration, realizing this, is pre pared to accept less than i#t had demanded, ~ Ontario Election Issue: Boldness By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- In the early stages of this campaign all parties have been talking about what they consider the '"'issue." Premier. Robarts says his main issue is a mandate for future negotiations with Ot- tawa. Liberal Leader John Winter- meyer says the issue is the in- difference, tiredness and arro- gance of the Progressive Con- Servative party and the govern- ment, New Democratic Party leader Donald. MacDonald says the main issue is medical care in. surance, with a number of sec- ondary questions such as uni; versities and planning. CITES ISSUES These questions may or may not figure prominently in the controversy of the campaign. Whether they do or not, it is unlikely to this observer that any of them will form a main issue. Rather it would appear that the basic issue of this cam- paign will be one that may not be publicly argued as such at all This is the underlying ques: tion of how much bold and come in the boldness and force with which they would tackle these problems The Robarts government has been giving a purposeful image of a youthful and aggressive government, And it has taken @ number of progressive steps which support this image, But when you analyse these, they are stamped with cautiea and reserve, This is commva to practically all of them. | LIBERALS 'IN BETWEEN' The Liberals, of course, are in between, In medical insur. ance they do not favor private companies, as does the govera- ment, But also they don't give outright endorsement to an im- mediate, fully public schema, as does the NDP. And this is characteristic of' their program. It is bolder and more forceful than the gover ments, But it does not go to the extremes of the NDP's, which is at the other end of the scale from the government and which would make radical de partures. Just how extreme it feels we should be is really the question before the public how much force the peopie of Ontario want in their govern. ment today, BROAD AGREEMENT All. parties are in agreement on the broad things that must be done in Ontario. They all endorse medical care insurance, pensions, more university facilities, more parks, more highways. The differences between them RESULTS COUNT!
