Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1964----PAGE 6 Cyprus Affair Reveals Basic Weakness In UN Prime Minister Pearson was quite right ir declaring that the Cyprus affair again confirms the need for a permanent UN "police force", prop- erly organized and supported, ready for action under UN direction in any part of the world. The international community will live in the midst of excursions and alarms until there is such an effective force. The Cyprus affair shows, however, how far we are from obtaining that force, and how much the UN struc- ture must be reformed and strength- ened to make the force possible. It is possible that the haggling over a peace force for Cyprus would have gone on until Greece and. Turkey were actually at war, had not Canada moved in to break the deadlock with its decisive moves during the latter part of last week. Some countries which could have contributed to the UN force were wary after the Congo mess; others wanted clearer instructions on the financing of the force and on the conditions of its employment. These were the questions that delayed Canada's approval of a Cyprus con- tingent -- and some of the ans- wers still have not been given -- but time was running.out. Mr. Pear- son acted, and rightly so. We hope he now pursues the international force question by having the Cana- dian delegation to the UN press vigorously for agreement on basic rules for the organization of future forces required in an emergency. The root of the UN's trouble, of course, is the refusal of many mem- bers to accept the responsibilities of membership. They are all "take" and no "give", accepting the ad- vantages without contributing much of anything but talk. The UN itself cannot finance the peace-keeping effort on Cyprus be- cause it does not have the money. The Congo effort forced it into virtual bankruptcy. The contribu- ting nations will pay their own ex- penses. But how long can a few willing nations be expected to carry the load in such cases? Sooner or later, the UN must either be placed on a sound financial basis or aban- don its peace-keeping pretensions, Future Of The Seaway Representatives of industry, ship- ping, foreign trade and port ad- ministration met in Cleveland the other day to take a "hardboiled look at the record" of the St. Law- rence Seaway. They found these items on the debit side: Seaway traffic is several years behind the volume necessary to start paying off its eapital cost; in no single year of its six years of operations has traffic volume met pre-opening forecasts; participation of U.S. ship lines in the Seaway has been disappointingly small; the U.S. government has done little to develop the waterway or to en- courage its agencies to route gov- ernment cargoes through lake ports, But: Canadian Seaway officials and several of the other representatives are not pessimistic about the long- term potential of the waterway. They argue that although Seaway traffic volume was smaller at the start than expected, and slow to grow from there, once the growth did start it went on as quickly as had been predicted before the Sea- way opening. A volume of 50 million tons has been the goal for the Sea- -way; it will not be reached as soon as had been expected, but the Cana- dian authorities in particular seem confident that it will be reached and surpassed -- and the traffic in the "big" years will more than make up for the early slowness. There is no doubt that the Sea- way was over-promoted -- this newspaper was one of those which warned that lakeshore communities with a few piers and breakwaters would not turn into deep-sea ports overnight, and. that ships must have cargoes to carry to and from the ports to make their operation profitable. There was too much hoopla, too much uniformed enthu- siasm. And now the disappointed enthusiasts have swung to the other extreme: The Seaway is a failure, they mourn; it has been an expensive mistake. That attitude is just as silly as the earlier unbridled optimism, The Seaway will contribute mightily to the growth of this nation. It has already played an important role -- and not the least important factor has been the pride of Canadians in this great project. Now let's give it a chance to prove itself to the full.

REPORT FROM U.K. London Municipal Voting Important By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- This year's mun- cipal elections will be the most important that. have been held in the Greater London area for many years, It will be the first election under. the re-organized Greater London, with large areas of new territory includ- ed, and drastic changes made in the boundary lines of the. bor- loughs as they have been re- constituted. It will be a fiercely-fought election, for whereas the former London County Council has for over 20 years been under the control of the Labor party, YOUR HEALTH there is a strong possibility that the re-organization will make a Conservative majority possible. This is because some predom- inantly Conservative areas, in- cluding the whole of Middlesex County and parts of Kent and Surrey, have been added to Greater London. It will be important, too, in that it, along with other muni- cipal elections to be held this spring, will offer something of a guide as to whether the Con- servative party has really made a strong recovery, and give a foretaste of what can be ex- pected to happen in the general election. The Conservatives realize that Steroid Hormones Require Watching By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: Please ex- plain the side-effects of corti- sone. Other doctors do not ex- plain things as well as you do, --D G I love your flattery, but I'm not sure I can explain, We do not know the basics of how cortisone and the similar ster- oid hormones work, But we knw what they do. They are good drugs. They also can be dangerous because of unwanted side-effects at times. Many of these are related to the chemica: balance of the body. Potassium is lost. Sodium is retained. Nitrogen is lost. Muscle weakness can result from loss of potassium and nitrogen. Retention of sodium causes the body to store excess water. The consequence is swelling and increase of weight, even though gain is merely water. Never- theless, we still don't want it. This is what causes a patient to have a round '"'moon face'"' when he has been taking full doses of cortisone for some time. Sugar tolerance also can be upset and a condition resem- bling diabetes. can ensue, Pa- tients with mild diabetes, for rxample, will "spill" more sugar into the urine and will have a higher blood sugar level There can be an effect on the blood vessels, especially the very small ones, or capillaries, causing disfiguring _bruise-like discoloration of the skin. Thyroid activity may be de- creased, and function of the ad- renal glands may be greatly suppressed. These are the commonest side-effects, While we have a hard time saying why they oc- cur, knowing that they are pos- sible gives us the warning that we need. Some years ago, before we had much experience with corti- sone and its counterparts, there were occasional cases of even more serious side-effects, From a combination of causes, some- times there could be a spon- taneous fracture of a bone. A temporary case of "mental ill- ness" or drug psychosis: could also result. Warnings promptly were given in medical meetings everywhere; these conse- quences rarely occur now. The really important signifi- cance of your question, I think, is that, although we cannot ex- plain "he many good and the hovering bad effects of corti- sone, we know that they can be present, These drugs have proved themselves' to be very: useful, but they require constant watching. The patient, as well as the doctor, needs to be aware of the common side- effects, The drugs should not be stopped abruptly. They should be tapered off to allow the body functions to resume their nor- mal activity. The effects of the drugs are "reversible." When you stop, the side-effects disappear. The drugs have given us the means of treating conditions for which we previcusly had no answers. Watchfulness for unwanted side- effects, it seems to me, is a small enough price to pay for all of the benefits. MRS. G.T.: The milder tran- quilizers, such as you are tak- ing, can, if necessary, be con- tinued for years. They do not lead to addiction in the sense that narcotics do, so you are worrying unnecessarily. the election of the new Greater London Council may be a key to the general election result, and they have started a vigor- ous and well-planned campaign in an effort to secure control of @ that body. In a manifesto issued by the party leader in Greater s London, Sir Percy. Rugg, the Conservatives lay greatest stress on a drive to deal with the housing situation in the London boroughs. The manifesto sets a target of 50,000 new homes a year for London people if it wins the election, and also promises that as rapidly as possible the hous- ing target will be raised to 60,000 a year, which would more than meet the needs of Greatér London for 500,000 new homes in the next 10 years. The mani- festo says: "Our top priority will be to speed up the housing pro- gram in line with government policy, so that a good home is brought within the reach of everyone as soon as possible." PLAN FOR HOUSING The Tories plan to reach this ambitious objective by building outside the Greater London Council area, and by. major developments well outside the city's green belt in new and expanding towns. A start will be made by holding a con- ference with all 32 of the new London boroughs to plan a housing drive, which. would be a joint project by private en- terprise, local councils and the housing societies. Council hous- ing will -be stepped up with priorities for 'the elderly and handicapped and those with-in- adequate housing. Building of houses for sale will be stimulat- ed, by granting 100 per cent mortgages wherever appropri- ate. Housing, however, is only one facet of the Tory manifesto. It places new emphasis on educa- tion, with parents giver. freedom of choice between different types of secondary schools for their children, A road program striking a proper balance between the rea- sonable demands of traffic and the preservyation of decent, civilized living, is pledged. A great measure of compre- hensive planning for Greater London, and a fairer distribu- tion of the burden of local taxes are among the items given a place in the policies of the Con- servatives. It is a powerful document, and one which will provide a strong challenge to Labor, which has the majority in the old London County Coun- cil which is going out of exist- ence.

OTTAWA REPORT Liberation Force Taken Seriously By PATRICK NICHULSON OTTAWA--Canadians in the fine non-French provinces may still--foolishly -- consider the Quebec Liberation Movement to be an insignificant and dis- orderly raiding of armories by students. But within Quebec there are Canadians who take this movement very seriously indeed, with the determined ob- jective of attaining complete in- endence. This is vividly exemplified by an article blue- printing The armed forces in the independent French Republic in North America, which is printed in the current issue of a long-estab- lished French language maga- zine called L'Action Nationale. The first vice-president of the body sponsoring this magazine is Andre Laurendeau, who sig- nificantly is also co-chairman of the Royal Commission on Bi- lingualism and Biculturalism. This article insists that an in- dependent Quebec, like any na- tion which seeks its rightful sovereign recognition, must maintain strong armed forces, no matter how peaceful its in- tentions. "Quebec has no need to de- QUEEN'S PARK regiments stationed outside the -- province would be repatriated to Quebec to be incorporated in that army; officer instructors would come from France to as- ; sist in the training program, fend herself against anyone, and nobody she must attack. So one might argue that the main- tenance of a standing army would be a costly and useless project, and that it would be preferable to entrust the de- fence of Quebec to the huge United States or to Canada, as they would be obliged to do if Quebec did not defend herself. But to do this would be to jump out of the frying pan of servi- tude into the fire of 'depend- etce."" STATUS SYMBOL "The dignity of Quebec as a sovereign state demands the creation of a standing army un- der the flag of Quebec, so that Quebec could defend herself and could make a significant contribution to the defence of North America and the free world." The translation into English from the French original is my own; I hope author Michel Brochu will find no fault with it. Thus the independent French Republic in America would have its own army and navy and air force, M. Brochu sug- gests. Any French - Canadian Inevitable Move To Larger Units BY DON 0'HEARN TORONTO --Major attention in municipal affairs this year has been placed on larger units of government, Attention by the opposition, that is, Both Liberal and NDP critics proposed that studies be under- taken immediately to go into the question. The speakers were mainly concerned about the larger in- dustrial centres, They pointed out that subur- ban growth around cities such as London, Windsor, St. Cath- arines and Niagara Falls had meant over-lapping problems in schools, sewage, air' pollution and various other fields. For these to be handled in the best public interest, it was said, there should be a form of regional government, Municipal Affairs Minister J W. Spooner took the tradi- tional government stand in re- Ply when. he said that he had great faith in local governments to solve their own problems .. . and that there was provision now for municipalities to join together in mutual projects. Mr. Spooner, of course, prop- ably realizes as well as anyone ° else that we are heading inevit- ably for some form of larger administrative units in the mu- nicipal field--and that eventu- ally the province will probably have to give the lead. Being a minister he just can't say so. And it is a trend that won't be confined to the larger cen- tres. Already there has been con- siderable demand to strengthen the county form of government. The fact is, of course, that now we are both over-governed and badly governed. We have nearly 1,000 munic- {pal councils, many of them do- ing things separately which could be done more efficiently on a larger scale. MINING DOWN The one sad story to be pre- sented to the House this year was that of mining. Ontario's great, traditional basic industry has been declin- ing. Last year's production of $875,000,000 was down $36,000,- 000. This may even be reduced further. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 18, 1964... Seven prisoners, including six leading Peronists, es- caped from a_ heavily guarded prison in Argentina and fled to Chile seven years. ago today--in 1957.

He was charged with stealing the equivalent of $800,000,000 from Argentina during the Peron regime. 1123--The First Lateran Council began. 1953 West Germany agreed to pay $822,000,000 in reparations to Israe] for wartime Nazi persecution of Jews, SMART WOMEN... have their carpets Gnd uphol- stery cleaned "The Safe Way' DURACLEAN 728-8518 Even more uranium mines may close down and some of the biggest gold mines are run- ning short of ore.

GALLUP POLL As for the costly equipment of the Quebec navy: 'Upon the declaration: of independence, by agreement with Canada a nim- ber of warships of all classes" would ceded to Quebec: Cruisers, destroyers, aircraft- * carriers as well as aircraft, cor- "' responding to one third of the © Royal Canadian Navy. In addi- * tion to exchanges of officers, training courses in the French * naval bases of Toulon, Brest « and Lorient would be essential, ~ as well as participation in the annual mandeuvres ' French and NATO fleets." ACCEPT ROLE AS ALLY Quebec would join, and pull her weight in, NATO and the North American Air Defence * (NORAD). The price of independence would come high in military terms, "The introduction of compul- sory military service, with length of service and call-up yet to be decided upon, would: have to be studied seriously, be- cause Quebec could only re- main free through a stro standing army and a pool well-trained reservists. The Ca- nadian system, of an organized but too small peacetime army, could not be copied without dan- ger under present circum- stances." This would be a reversal of former Quebec attitudes, as ex- emplified by Liberal election , Posters of former Conservative Prime Minister Arthur Meighen, . with his hands dripping with the blood of Quebec conscripts. But these proposals are eloquent testimony to the seriousness. of the Quebec problem today.
