She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1963--PAGE 6 Conference Promotes Confidence In Nation The most significant thing about last week's federal-provincial con- ference was what didn't happen. Statements made by some of the provincial premiers before the meet- ing suggested that if they did not have their way, they would proceed to rip apart Confederation itself. It didn't happen. What did happen was a sober assessment of the strains on Confederation, and from this came a renewal of confidence in the lasting quality of Canada as a nation. To achieve this, Prime Minister Pearson had all talents as a. diplomat again he proved his mastery of this field. He had, oddly enough, the help of Ontario's Premier Robarts as a strong moderating influence. We can agree with the Kitchener Record's assessment: This had been spoken crucial. meeting, perhaps the most important since Confederation. It now appears that it become merely the first of several aimed at making the best of the present system as a preliminary to any serious study of constitutional re- to exercise his and once of as a may form. If the provinces and central government continue to move toward better understanding, this and subsequent meetings could be almost as significant as the Con- federation conferences which opened in Charlottetown almost 100 years ago. On equalization the federal plan is a compromise be- tween the desires of the wealthy provineés and those of the have- nots. It represents a concession to payments those provinces without the indus- and of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, one will cost the federal govern- tries 'resources which ment money it can ill afford to lose. * * * On the pension plan, all provinces but Quebec are now ready to co- operate with a federal administra- tion which admits the need for amendment. On neither, perhaps, have all the objections been met. But the final pension plan may be generally ac- ceptable. The equalization program will eventually, no doubt, give way to an entirely new, and more effect- ive system of tax sharing. No Foxes, Mice Abound Officials of the Ontario Depart- ment of Lands and Forests are predicting a "plague" of field mice this winter. Provincial orchard owners, and probably anyone else with trees, have been warned that the mice will pose a decided threat to their stands; they eat the bark, All of which prompts the Kingston Whig-Standard to comment Whether the mice have multiplied to the extent indicated here re- mains to be seen, but the assess- ment of their numbers is probably true enough. It is, however, inter- esting to note the reason advanced by the Department for the mouse population. explosion. According to this same news report, the mice have been multiplying in peace and plenty because so many foxes have died of rabies in the past few years. Again we are faced with the diffi- cult problem of ecology the balance of nature. The fox has al- ways been a natural enemy: of the mouse in Nature's scheme of things. But that obviously, has favour of of rabies balance, been seriously upset in the The Department Lands mouse, and Forests blames for the imbalance.

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- London's famed Convent market is doomed to be moved to another location with- in the next few years under plans which have been prepared for building a new market in an alternative site on the outskirts of London. It now appears that this move, when it is made, will apply to the fruit and vege- section of the market When these move out to the new location, it is now very likely that the flower industry firms wi still remain at Covent Garden Last Mav a working party was established by the Covent Garden Market Authority to consider the future of the flow- er. market.

This was the question posed by the Liberal national organ- izer, Keith Davey, when he ad- dressed the unusual and. de- cisive caucus of the party, held 'during the weekend immedi. ately preceding the opening of Parliament after the summer recess. What is happening, in fact, is that a ginger-group of back- benchers, who were swept into Parliament in the tidal wave that submerged the Diefen- baker government, are refusing to be seen but not heard They are young, they are new to Parliament, but they remem- ber vividly the situation which led to their predecessors in the Liberal governments of Mac- 'ing »--or kenzie King and St. Laurent be- derided as 'performing seals." And they are determined that they shall not likewise be epitaphed: "Their's not to rea- son why; their's but to do and die." In other words, they do not accept the heresy introduced by some recent prime ministers, that power lies in the Cabinet by divine right, that members of the governing party outside the Cabinet must vote blindly to support policies in whose shaping they may have no voice OLD GUARD SHUNNED From many sides one hears well-founded criticism that the private member of parliament has wrongly been stripped of his her -- individuality.

TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 4, 1963... Woodrow Wilson became the first president to travel outside the United States 45 years ago today--in 1918-- when he sailed for Paris to attend the Versailles Peace Conference. Although he persuaded.the conference to accept the principle of the League of Nations as the basis of peace, he was un- able to gather strong sup- port at home for League participation. He was awarded the Nobel Peace *rize in 1920. 1859--The Australian col- any of Queensland was es- tablished. 1945--The Allied Control ' Council in Berlin ordered the seizure of all the plants of the I. G. Farbenindustrie, cepted; the voice of the back- bencher, no matter how sensi- ble, is "talked out." The wrongness of this undem- ocratic development in parlia- ment is vividly illustrated by two examples. In the British parliament, it 'was an independent MP, deter- mined, wise and eloquent, who finally got his private bill passed to reform the faulty anachronistic divorce laws of that country. 1 refer to the man better known as a humour- ist, A. P. Herbert, In our parliament, private members have for years been advancing private bills intended to~break the racket of money- lending. These were always shunned by the government. But now, long overdue, this im- portant matter has been spon- sored by the government. It would have been wise and graceful for some earlier gov- ernment to support one of the many initiatives by private members The "new Liberals" are de- termined that their own capa- bilities shall not be sidelined, and that their own political ca- reers shall not be dependent solely upon the secret conclaves of a group of cabinet ministers for whom collectively they do not hold unqualified admiration. CHANGES DEMANDED The first action of this ginger group was to compel the gov- ernment to implement its pre- election promise to them--to raise: MP's salaries. Their method was reportedly the bru- tally frank one of threatening something like a walk-out, The next step was to insist that the party caucus, rather than the cabinet, should be the discussion group through which policy and legislative measures should be sieved. This was ef- fected at the pre-session caucus. More recently, they have taken up the matter of appoint- ments, especially within the parliamentary apparatus. The initial Pearson cabinet must be purified of its regres- sive element; the political dead- wood is to be gently sidelined or kicked upstairs, Postmaster Denis to the Senate, Justice Minister Chevrier. to our em- bassy in France, are some of the proposals. The wise and un- flappable Labour Minister Allan MacEachen, an authority on parliamentary procedure, should replace Jack Pickersgill as House Leader. Now they are considering a successor to Governor-General Vanier, due to retire within two years. The name of the famous Montrealer, Dr. Wilder Pen- field, is being prominently men- tioned This ginger group consists largely of Ontario MPs and, significantly, contains several parliamentary secretaries to Ministers.
