Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1965 -- PAGE 4 As Canada On the eve of another Dominion Day, the words of that widely- respected chronicler and commen- tator on Canadian affairs, Mr. Bruce Hutchinson makes thought- provoking reading. Writing in The Ottawa Journal, the noted Canadian author and hewspaperman comments on what he sees as the shrinking of personal freedom. He recalls earlier days in Canada ... "before we invented the all-wise and all-powerful state to protect our liberties." He notes that earlier Canadians "broke the prairie land, cleared the Pacific jun- gle and almost absent-mindedly built a nation without any thought to social responsibility of the least regard for public relations". Mr, Hutchinson continued: "The older sort of liberals (in no partisan sense) supposed that men' would always choose freedom be- fore any other consideration and certainly they have often sacrificed their lives for it in battle. "But in modern society they con- - Rre Freedoms Shrinking Progresses ? stantly weave around themselves innumerable tiny strands of restric- tion that together form a network _ imprisoning the ordinary individual as Gulliver was enmeshed by the pygmies. " ... Every day our parliaments add another strand of one kind or another and every strand diminish- es the human person. 'tHence the paramount question before us is not the wisdom of this or that policy, political doctrine or party, not whether we can conquer poverty, as we assuredly can, not whether we shall be inccreasingly rich as our cunning machines al- ready guarantee, "No, the question is whether the individual can survive in the indus- trial system where the machines threaten to make man a comfort- able slave with his social security card, two cars in the garage and plenty of Bombs for everybody if the experiment fails, Mr. Hutchinson puts it very well, don't you think? It Is 'Dominion Day'! "Dominion Day" has a good solid Canadian ring to it. For 98 years the term has de- . noted the birthday of Canada as a nation. Yet, today, some of our so- called nationalists, won't as they seem to tamper with tradition, wish to scrap it. They want to observe "Canada Day" rather than "Domi- nion Day" as our national holiday. In their prejudiced pursuit they presume to protest on the premise that the connotation is colonial, that it signifies in some sense subservi- ence to Britain. They are wrong.

He based it on the pas- sage of the Bible which says "He shall have Dominion also from sea to sea", The appropriateness to the Cana- dian nation-is-surely undeniable. It simply means a territory under one government. The point was elo- quently made, by Prince Edward Is- land Member of Parliament Heath McQuarrie recently. He criticized current thinking that "the concept of the Dominion, the entity, is not of a whole of which others are part but more and more of eleven governments that sit down to negotiate, invariably to the advantage of the ten and not the senior government. "..I1 think we would all be well advised to recall that the whole is greater than the parts and that there are many things which must be done, not only by political insti- tutions but by all people, to give their allegiance to the whole." July 1 is a day emphasizing those things which unite us as a nation. "Dominion Day", for 98 years, has brought to mind a great land stretching from Atlantic to Pacific. It should be kept to continue to do so into Canada's second century.

For a province that delayed joining Confederation until 1873, observance of the 1864 meeting in an upper chamber of the his- toric Legislative Building here was a success unexpected by many inhabitants. More than 333,000 people visited Prince Ed- ward Island last summer and expectations are for a bigger ine flux, this year, Mayor Walter Cox of Char- lottetown says -the 1965 tourist trade "is going to be a bon- anza," while Robert LeClair, acting director of the provincial travel bureau, conservatively estimates the tourist population will be '"'at least as good" as last season, The $7,000,000 Confederation Centre is the axis of activity and likely to remain so, A farmer's quip Jast July that the unique. rectangular buildings of the centre "would make a great potato bin" facetiously ex- -pressed the doubts of many is landers a year ago.

Frank Storey, general manager of the centre, says there was some concern early last summer that local people "wouldn't take' to a cultural oasis in an insular environment where the arts have been ne- glected if not ignored. "I don't think you will hear any of that skepticism just one year later,"' he says. More than 200,000 people vis- ited the building in 1964, and of this number about 84,000 went through the art gallery and an- other 60,000 attended various performances in the Confedera- tion theatre. More than 50,000 persons used the centre's facili- ties 'for one purpose or an- other" from January to April this year. "And that is-in the dead sea- son,"' Col. Storey says, '"'Every- body thought we would have to close the place down in winter- time." Col. Storey wants the centre to be 'a living national shrine' and the austere monument -will be bustli z with activity this summer from July 1, Dominion Day, to the end of August.

RYAN AP Special Correspondent MEXICO CITY (AP) -- The Dominican crisis has produced paradoxes which can mean something dramatically new for Latin America. It has also produced dangers, There are a number of Latin American countries facing criti- cal internal situations, politi- cally and economically. One more explosion such jas that in the Dominican Republic, or one more _ military. intervention, could have dire results for the hemisphere. And in at least one country-- Guatemala--there is a possfhil- ity of an internal explosion not unlike that in the Dominican Republic. What has been the over-all result of the Dominican crisis thus far? The answer must be a complex one, dealing with the paradoxes it has produced. Even the United States' friends See the Dominican ac- tion as a mistake, not because they feel it was unnecessary, but because of the way the job was done--or not done, in the estimatien of some. To some influential Latin Americans, it was a diplomatic Bay of Pigs for President John- son, akin to the setback for American policy after the abor- tive invasion of Cuba. in 1961, which U.S. power failed to sup- port. FRENCH CANADIAN VIEWPOINT nner einer PO '100 Years Of Tolerance' Boomerangs This ts a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada, Moncton L'Evangeline--The long working days of the elected representatives in the House of Commons are start- ing to pose problems for some of them. Either they are over- loaded with work and don't realize what they are saying, or working under pressure brings their true colors to light How else to explain a state- ment in the Commons by Lloyd Crouse (PC -- Queens- Lunenburg) about the com- mission on biculturalism and bilingualism. Mr. Crouse sug- gested this commission be abolished because it is de- stroying "100 years-of toler- ance' between the two main ethnic groups. Such a declaration by an MP from British Columbia woull surprise no one, but coming from.a member from Nova Scotia, where French- Canadians make up 17 per cent of the population, it is more than discouraging. .. . The 100 years of tolerance of which he speaks comes from only one ethnic group . . , the 6,000,000 French-Ca- nadians who, according to the act of Confederation, are given equal rights. They have tolerated English-speaking Ca- nadians' domination of those who speak a different lan- guage. The MP from Nova Scotia . . + is seandalized that the B and B commission cost al- most $2,000,000. So what. Is not the issue at stake worth the price? . . . The $2,000,000 was spent to make persons like Mr. Crouse realize the present situation is intolerable for French-Canadians, . . . This commission is aimed at the English-speaking ele- ment, It is the last chance to bring together a tottering con- stitution. It is regrettable that MPs should be so ignorant of the facts of the situation. Perhaps the B and B_ commission should have spent $2,000,000 to instruct leaders such as Mr. Crouse. about the history of Confederation, the develop ments that followed the sign- ing of this pact and the dil- emma being faced today. At least, a pocket diction- ary for politicians could have been prepared, explaining the meaning of certain key words such as "tolerance" and "bonne ententeism,." -- Bern- ard Poirier. (June 14) this Ottawa Le Droit -- In this 20th century slavery is not dead. Contrary to what one might believe, the preceding sentence is not an allusion to what can happen among cer- tain primitive peoples in as yet unexplored regions but rather to what exists in civil- ized countries --the United States and Canada -- in the world of sport, Each year during this sea- son one witnesses what the language of sports calls the National Hockey League's trading sessions. At $20,000 to $30,000 apiece, the masters of play: this sport buy numerous slaves, alas, with the consent of the interested parties who from the start of their careers have accepted which they will be the object . . for as long as they desire to work at their trade and bring home the bacon. The deal made, the slave one has just sold can--an im- provement brought by time-- ask his new owner for ap- proximately the same-treat-° ment he. received from his former master. If the slave is burned out or aging, he depreciates by 20 or 35 per cent, but he wont' say anything, that someone wanted to buy him, In a year or two when he becomes old, that is, when he reaches 35 or 36 years of age, one gets rid of him. for a song and he will go and end his career where he began, as a coach in the minor.. leagues where he will tinue to be admired for a few months or a few years, but not without the young people saying among themselves: He well in his time, the old man. And we call this. civiliza- tion! --Mare Gingras, (June 14) sold .

This is an' omission which in the future should be corrected, he said in present- ing his brief to the commis- sion on biculturalism and bi- lingualism. This is the first time a rep- resentative of the English- speaking population has rec- ognized, before a commission as important as the Lauren- deau-Dunton--commission, the duty of the English-language Quebec-province minority to French-language minori- ties in other provinces by in- forming English - groups oi ihe good treatment they receive.

Neither the press nor the public is safe with anything less than this, both Fe odeersiy nts § spelled bee sesuhved be seinciper got fishers. It is rather a phase of a much larger freedom -- the freedom of all men to speak their minds openly and without fear. The press claims no right which should not belong to every citizen in: a democracy. But freedom of the press is an all-important part of this larger freed \ under modern conditions, A A a the press is the principal agency by which the ordinary man receives the infor- mation he needs to judge the actions of his rulers and make up his mind on public affairs. Without newspapers, or with only gagged and blindfolded ones, he is in the dark, and helpless. An unfettered' press is therefore one of the essential bulwarks of a democratic nation. UE sy sued itso e's eenie bk onl dh the csatlnten dictatorships which have darkened the twentieth century. Rigid control of all sources of public information, and especially of newspapers, was the cornerstone on which all these regimes -- Nazi, Fascist and Communist alike -- were founded, Without it, they could hardly have lasted for more than a few months. With it, they could keep their peoples in blinkers and drive them on any course they chose. The calamities of our age, its fear and insecurity, stem in no small measure from the simple fact that at critical periods great sections of the earth's popula- tion have been prevented by their rulers from learning the real news ofthe world. ba hese examples should provide a warning against any attempt, by govern- ments or by private interests, to restrict the essential freedom of the press. A free people must stand on guard not only against direct censorship but also encr ious and bold--c. 7 is not enough. The only aj! liberty, of course, involves obligations. That of a free newspaper is to be truly free. It must be thorough, accurate and unbiased in its reporting, sincere and thoughtful in its editorials, and resistant to all outside pressure. It must be until it knows all the facts, bold when it is sure of its ground. It must, above all, be inspired by devotion to the public wel- fare as its staff understand it. RB Huch a newspaper is worthy of the privileges which the free peoples of the world have traditionally granted to their press. Such a newspaper is also the best guardian of the liberties of the people. Prepared by the Canadien Deily Newspaper Publishers Association First, Halting Step Taken To Co-operation In North Latin Americans who agree that the U.S. action in Santo Domingo may have. averted a Castro - like takeover complain that something just as bad can result anyway. Washington is criticized in these circles for failing to go all the way to end Col. Franctsco Camaano Deno's rebellion. "Macho" is an important word in Latin America. It signi- fies tough, manly courage. It was "macho" to take swift ac- tion against a threat. Latin Americans admit they respect strength. It was not "macho" to permit the crisis to drag on so long, to a point where Uncle 'Sam had a tiger by the tail. The initial impact of the Do- minican crisis in Latin America was shock. Still, those who gov- ern and belong to middle and upper classes seemed to re- coer fairly quickly. Worry about the results remains, but there is a broad body of opinion that it may prove healthy in the long run, not as the result of U.S. planning so much as he- cause of reaction to shock treat- ment, HIDE FROM FACTS Realities are seldom faced in Latin America, There is still jousting with ghosts long laid to rest, still resistance to fac- ing facts. Many still play anti- Yankee games for their own opportunistic purposes. Many still say in public what they admit privately they do not believe. "Non - intervention. and self- determination" are sacred cows. Thus the Dominican crisis is bemoaned on all sides. Yet many who dread the spectre of communism say privately that probably the intervention had to be. Many bewail the fate of the Organization of American States and regard it as dead or dying. Yet they say there must be a hemisphere organization to pro- tect against intervention and subversion. The Communist sort of inter- vention, however, leads to in- ternal uproars, and Latin Amer- ican politicians, mindful of their sacred cows, will grant no right, either to the United States or the OAS, to interfere in their intemal affairs. The Caribbean crisis hit many Latin American politicians like a shower --oficewater,.They emerged gasping, but some awakened to what lies ahead.

By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- How are the might fallen! How are the in- dustrious rewarded! Hon, E. J. Benson, minister of national revenue, has just published his department's an- nual Green Book, listing the tax collections from individual in- come tax payers and related Statistics. This covers the re- turns made by individuals for the calendar year 1963. I have compared these figures with those for the year 1956, which might be described as the last year before the series of election auctions, at which the taxpayers have been bribed by the electioneering rivals out of their own pockets. Bribed? Well, Canadians paid aboyt $1,000,- 000,000 more in personal income tax in 1963 than in 1956; the actual figures were $1,290,000,- 000 in the former year, and $2,243,000,000 in 1963. One of the most interesting tables in the Green Book is that listing the average income of taxpayers in different cities. In 1956, of the 68 cities in which there were more than 5,000 tax payers, The Pas ranked first in average income--$4,279. But in the 196° list, it is not mentioned and the place of honor is taken oyer by Sault Ste. Marie with an average income of $5,314. Sarnia ranked second both years, with an average income Of $4,221 in 1956 and $5,300 in 1963. Oshawa has jumped from llth place to 3rd, as its average income rose from $3,905 to $5,260. GUELPH'S BIG CLIMB An outstanding improvement fn those seven years was re corded by Guelph, whose aver- QUEEN'S PARK Medicare Debate ~ Quite Productive By DON O'HEARN T' RONTO -- The committee- of-the-whole examination of the medical services insurance bill was long and,.to some at least, tiresome. But it was produc- tive. Though it brought little change in the government pro- gram, it did produce a better understanding of the proposed plan and point out the danger- ous points to watch for. The government stood firmly by the bill. This is its key leg- islation of the session, and it wasn't in a mood to. easily agree to even the changing of a comma. But, nevertheless, the opposi- tion fought determinedly, and it was a good fight. Probably the most important point it drew out was that pre- miums under the program would vary with age and state of health. PAY SAME PREMIUM It had been assumed by the opposition members -- and ap- parently by the public--in the early discussion stages of the program that it would be on a "group" basis, that everybody would pay the same premium. Perhaps it is not quite cor- rect to say. that the informa- tion it wouldn't be was "drawn out" of the government. It had. never attempted to keep this hidden, : But the fact remains it was a shock to opposition mem- bers, when they were told there would be "rating." The most basic argument in favor of public insurance is that it spreads the risk, and everybody pays the same rate. age income rose by Fis! to $4,402, lifting it from place. to Canada's 37th highest aver- age figure. Nanaimo, starting in 16th place, climbed to 7th, with an increase of $1,016 in average income to a new total of $4,885. But Kamloops, re- ported to have Canada's 15th. highest income in 1956, drops out of the list--perhaps on account of its modest number of tax payers rather than through a@ low average income. The past seven years have' been good years} for Canada's doctors. In 1956, 11,868 doctors reporte] an average income of $13,053, which rated them our second best-paid group of work- ers, after consulting engineers and architects. In 1963, 15,019 doctors reported an average in come of $49,433 which put them top of the' heap. But whatever happens to Que« bec's farmers? The 1961 census showed 62,497 "commercial" farms in that province, yet only 1,601, or two per cent, paid in come tax -- the lowest percent- age of any province except P.E,I.; and those paid an aver- age of $299 in income tax, also the lowest figure except P.E.I,'s average of $167, SASKATCHEWAN TOPS At the other end of the scale, 44 per cent of Saskatchewan's 82,285 commercial farms each paid an average tax of $472. British Columbia and Alberta ranked second and third, then came Ontario, 25 per cent of whose farmers paid income tax, at the average rate of $375. Footnote on where the money goes: taxpayers paid out $22, 736,000 in alimony and $26,560, 000 in union dues in 1963, It seems the opposition mem- bers went off the track because they believed this principle was so desirable they didn't expect the government program would follow any other, Among instances of potential weakness brought out in the examination of the bill was the threat of potential control by the doctors and insurance cars riers, The most important body under the government and the minister of health is a medical services eouncil, This group is to be made up of two doctors, two insurance men, and five appointed public" representatives, HAVE INTERESTS It was argued that if one of these five thought on the same lit - as the doctors and insur- ai.ce men--if, for example, the government appointed a nurse, as could be quite likely--then the program would be domin- ated by those with a selfish in- terest. This council, it is true, will officially only be an° "advis- ory' but it still will have powers on matters such as rates and coverage. Then there was the claim that the program, as proposed, will lend itself to political man- ipulation. The government will have di- rect control, And it was pointed out there will be a great tempt- ation to extend benefits, par- ticularly at election times, The . opposition wanted if to be run by a commission, similar to th» hospital insurance commission. The opposition at least made clear the program is one not to be accepted holus-bolus. De Gaulle Orders That French Only De GAULLE ORDERS (The Milwaukee Journal) The song says that 'the French don't care what they say, actually, as long as they pronounce it properly." Presi- dent de Gaulle has higher stan- dard, He has sent down an order to French scientists which is summed up in the words "parlez Francais."' The trouble, as de Gaulle sees it, is that too many French scientists_attending internatfonal conferences have fallen into the habit of speaking English. To de Gaulle this is betrayal, and that's what he calls it. De Gaulle isn't the first to protest use of English. The state of Illinois passed a law in 1923 that declared that "the official Be Spoken language of the state of Illinois shall be known as the American language." The legislature said that Tory elements in this coun- try" have ever clung to the tradition of king and empire." So American became official -- and, indeed, as the song also says, in America English hasn't been spoken in years. De Gaulle claims that the clarity and remarkable qualities of.French make it ideal for scientific discussion, And it is a beautiful language. But. these days so many more people un- derstand English (or American) and so many English terms are used in the advanced areas. of science that scientists find i the language easiest to use.
