Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Tron Curtain Broadcasts 'Waste Of Tax Dollars Despite all attempts to justify the existence of an international ra- dio service, it must still be squafely faced that Canada's CBC broadcasts beamed behind the Iron Curtain can 'become a waste of taxpayer's dol- 'lars, says The Sudbury Star. Virtually abandoned 18 months ago when the Conservative govern- ment decided they were competing with Radio Free Europe; with the 'American-sponsored network aimed at the same market today under Liberal political support, this same agency is pilfering the public pock- 'ethook as never before. + It is proposed to install four new *250,00-watt transmitters at a cost 'of about $5,000,000 to beam pro- 'grams in 11 languages to Europe, Africa, Latin-America and Austral- jon The entire operation is an arm of ' the external affairs department and 'Paul Martin has promised to main- tain the budget at its present level. He also promised to study the inte- gration of this single system into the complex and exorbitantly expen- sive CBC Canada-wide operation. At the moment, the prime func- tion of this international service, based in Montreal and drawing all its staff from that area, is the pro- motion of the 1967 Centennial and world's fair. Not only does the province of Quebec stand to gain the major por- tion of the revenues from the atten- dance at the extravaganza, but they have now successfully tapped the remainder of Canada for the fi- nances needed to promote the show. The management of the interna- tional service based their sales pitch on an increase of 69 per cent in listener response during the past year. They have neglected to enlarge on the statistics. Did they increase from 100 to 169, or from 1,000 to 1,690 written responses? What they also neglected to re- port is that their increase in listen- ers ratios resulted directly from the end in jamming of wave lengths from behind the Iron Curtain. They have successfully negotiated a major increase in their operating budget and a major modernization program based on this tenuous cir- cumstance. If the jamming is re- sumed, Canadians will be saddled with a White Elephant of gigantic proportions, Hazard Seen For Expo Expo 67 has had its troubles, both political and practical, in its short history. While it may be able to sur- vive the political hazards, it seems 'to be in increasing danger from the practical difficulties, according to | The Kitchener-Waterloo Record.

The auto industries, after cancel- ling out on plans to build individual exhibits, have now agreed to pick up a $3,300,000 bill for the Expo stadium. Their attempt to get out altogeth- er may stem partly from lack of en- thusiasm for the unofficial New York World's Fair, where they spent $135,000,000. The tower project was a gran- diose scheme intended to bear com- parison with the Eiffel Tower, itself built to mark a famous exposition. It would have been 66 feet higher than the Paris landmark, but never- theless will hardly be missed. In fact, its absence will save Montreal from the permanent presence of something of dubious aesthetic quality. The fair itself should not suffer from this particular failure, The auto firms' lack of positive interest is more serious. It may rep- resent a growing disillusion with the world fair idea. This could be the greatest hazard facing Expo, greater than separa- tist agitation, English-Canadian prejudice or Jack of Parisian mon- ey, says The Record. Se ee en ce WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT INDICATES IDIOCY -- IT'S MY WRITING U.S. Crime Crisis Stressed By Violence In Washington By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- In a four-day period in Washington last December, a woman was fatally stabbed in her downtown apartment, three shopkeepers were shot and a 14-year-old boy gunned down a taxi driver on a dare. The concentrated reign of ter- ror was a stark illustration of the fact that the. U.S. capital, for its size, is harder hit by violent crime than any other American city. The 800,000 residents in the 72 square miles of this federal district are more likely to be robbed than those in any other major U.S. city. In relation to its population, Washington leads the country in robberies and violent attacks. A record 132 murders were committed in 1964 by gun, ra- zor, ice pick, baseball bat, tire iron, knife and scissors. Protective agencie. flourish. Sales of pen-sized tear gas guns are booming. There are classes in judo for women who want to protect themselves against at- tackers. And one finishing school includes instruction in screaming for help. Citizens' groups have been formed in the District of Co- lumbia and in the Maryland and Virginia suburbs where serious crime is increasing at a rate more than double the population growth. The main objective of these groups is mu- tual protection against burgla- ries, WANTS PEP PILL BAN As a, symptom of a growing national problem, the Washing- ton situation serves to keep the government aware of the crisis. President Johnson sent a spe- cial message to Congress March 8 urging steps to expand the fight by federal agencies against crime. It also called for a ban on certain inter - state shipments of arms and re- quested measures to clamp down on illegal sales of pep pills. And in May the pressed Charles A. Horsky, his adviser on Washington affairs, to get moving on establishment of a District of Columbia crime commission announced months ago. KEY MAN AT UN... Canadian By CARMAN CUMMING UNITED NATIONS (CP) -- The phrase "quiet diplomacy" could have been coined espe- cially for Paul Tremblay For the last three years he has held one of Canada's top diplomatic posts, ambassador to the United Nations. But he has been seldom in the spot- light and at no time in danger of being described as colorful or controversial. His whole operating code, in fact, seems directed to getting things done privately, avoiding the public clashes and tough stands that make the real ne- gotiating more difficult. He sprinkles his conversation with such phrases as '"'preventive diplomacy" and "getting at the roots of war," "When Tremblay encounters an obstacle, he doesn't try to batter it down--he looks for a way around it," says a col- league. So it was not surprising that Tremblay was unanimously elected to head the UN com- mittee for International Co- operation Year. Tremblay, 49, was born in Chicoutimi, Que., and has spent half his life in the diplomatie service -- although he once thought seriously of becoming a scientist and still reads scien- tific books for relaxation. He was trained ag a consti president, The incidence of serious crime. in the United States gen- erally last year was up 13 per cent and this included a nine- per-cent increase in the num- ber of murders, 19 per. cent more rapes and 18 per cent more serious assaults. Law-enforcement officers sug- gest fhat one reason the situa- tion is worse here than else- where is a pattern shaped by court decisions for dealing with suspected criminals. An example is the so-called Mallory rule of 1957 which puts pressure on police to arraign a suspect immédiately in federal cases. Since all Washington crime is automatically federal, police say, the rule makes. it difficult to° question suspects adequately and confront them with witnesses. The result is that police may delay making an arrest until they have enough evidence to ensure con- viction. ROB WHILE ON BAIL Another factor is the grow- ing inclination of persons await- ing trial to commit further rob- beries while out on bail as a means of paying the cost of having the bail posted. One U.S, attorney is making a sur- vey of this problem with a view to asking for changes in the law to deny bail to those who abuse the privilege. It is worth noting that 1957, the year of the Mallory rule, was the post-war low point in Washington crime and that it has increased progressively since then. The annual report of the Washington police department for the year ended June 30, 1964, showed a total of 28,469 offences reported, an all-time high for the district. Crime was up 22.7 per cent over the previous 12 months and was 80.3 per cent higher than in the corresponding pe- riod of 1956-57, even though pop- ulation of the district has barely changed since then. In April this year there were 3,018 offences, 25 per cent more than in the same month a year ago, and it was the 35th con- secutive month in which crime was up from the previous year, PT LU nine ... SELDOM IN SPOTLIGHT Practises 'Quiet Diplomacy tutional lawyer and looks the part of a lawyer-diplomat: slim and impeccable, with a small moustache, dark - rimmed glasses and wavy, iron - grey hair. In the sometimes - hectic world of UN diplomacy he moves unobtrusively, chatting easily in French, English or Spanish. He delivers most of his UN speeches in French and has been known to translate them personally. His outlook on the UN is quietly optimistic. He concedes that the organization is going through a crucial time but féels that for both political and eco- nomic' reasons it will become increasingly useful. "We have reached the point where it becomes' obvious that the global wars, the big wars, are to all practical. purposes unthinkabie," he says. "They may happen -- one never knows--but I think the possibility is becoming more remote." That means that the UN can become increasingly important in isolating the small wars, pre- venting them from becoming big ones. PREVENTING WAR "At one. point in history, war could be described as a contin- uation of politics through other means," Tremblay says. "This does not' make sense any more. Total war has be- come the very negation of poli- ties because it leads to obliter- ation of friend and foe. Hence, a greater need in our time for preventive diplomacy than in any other period of history." On the economic side, Trem- blay sees important work ahead for the UN in meeting the problems of the new and un- derdeveloped countries. He says that the '"'fundamen- tal approach" of the Canadian delegation is to address itself to the roots of war--the search for security by the poorer peo- ples of the world. The aim is to link aid with trade, ensuring that interna- tional trading arrangements promote the orderly develop- ment of the poorer countries. Tremblay calls, this a '"'far more intelligent and dignified approach to foreign aid" than the concept of the handout He says it may be some time before results show, 'but the main thing is that a start has been made," ADVANCED TOGETHER In a sense, Tremblay has grown with Canada's foreign service.

His family tradition was in law. His father was a lawyer, a greatuncle was a judge, "the house was full of law books,"* and there was considerable pressure on Tremblay to follow the tradition. He recalls: with a smile that when he considered alterna- tives, his family urged him to "become a lawyer first and then see what I wanted to do." He followed the advice, grad- uating in law from the Univer- sity of Montreal in 1939. He was offered two scholarships to con- tinue his studies and had even made liner reservations to go abroad when the war inter- vened, Instead, he went into private practice in Montreal and stud- ied constitutional law at Mce- Gill. wo TOOK EXAMS The following year, he and his Jaw partner "influenced each other' to try the external affairs department exams, The partner, Marcel Cadieux, now is undersecretary of state for external affairs, feng rence Hine By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 15, 1965...

Kanye Brand Of Socialis Recognizes Stark Realism By DENNIS NEELD NAIROBI (AP) -- Kenya's brand of African socialism pledges the government to es- tablish a welfare state, but with stark realism it recog- nizes the No. 1 priority is eco- nomic development. Unlike other African nations, Kenya's program of socialism does not give development pri- ority to industrialization and such grandiose projects as chemical plants. Instead prior- ity goes to agriculture and an all-out effort to step up produc- tion from lands held by Afri- cans. A broad new policy statement represents a clear victory for President Jomo Kenyatta's moderates and defeat for left- wing hotheads hoping to see Kenya guided by Communist principles. Kenyatta said the new mani- festo of African socialism would for Kenya's Bible and all mem- bers of his cabinet had ap- proved it. The document contains little to please pro-Communist ele- ments in the government led by Vice-President Odinga Oginga.

State planning is a constant theme of the document. But there is provision for both gov- ernment and private enterprise with the emphasis on the lat- ter. One declared aim is to pro- vide free medical services; un- employment, disability and old age benefits, plus free primary education and financial assist- ance for university training. Kenya is a land of 9,000,000 people with a population growth rate of three per cent a year. Per-capita income is around $80 a year. The country has almost no mineral deposits; most of its African people scratch a mea- gre living from the soil. There are just 811 doctors---about one for every 10,000 people. With harsh facts like these in mind, Kenyatta's government 'OTTAWA REPORT Statism Criticized In Business Sphere By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "Dominion" has become a dirty word; "Confed- eration" has been supplanted by a woolly mystery called Co- Operative Federalism. So what do we call the First of July? Governor - General Georges Vanier broadcast a 'National Day" message to Canadians, stressing that unity is our big- est lem. Patriotism, the ist builder of unity, has alas become unfashionable and s0 one reads these accounts of First of July celebrations in our big cities: 'Montreal flag burn- ing; four youngsters taking part in Dominion Day demonstra- tions in Montreal are seen pre- paring to burn the Canadian maple leaf flag," and "Can- ada's 98th birthday passed al- most unnoticed in Toronto's Queen Park. Soldiers came with four howitzers to fire a 21-shot salute. There were three dogs but no fiags. The gun blasts scared the dogs and knocked a few leaves off the maple trees." STATISM IN BUSINESS Many Canadians criticize the government's unfair competi- tion with private business through Crown corporations. Even worse is when politicians, unskilled in business, jeopar- dize the taxpayers' money in such ventures. Opposition MPs may soon dig into Transport Minister Pickersgill's recent junket to Paris, On his return, he proudly announced in Par- pereyers "The --_s of my visit was to Me pos- sibility of securing permission for Air Canada to inaugurate a regular service from Mont- real to Guadeloupe; so it could ply the Montreal. oupe - Harbesos route, Pickersgill has given Air France an open door into Air Canada's rich Montreal-Barba- dos route, in exchange for Air Canada getting into the trivial -- Montreal - Guadeloupe traffic, This appears to be a one- sided bargain, with Air France obtaining the right to compete with Air Canada. It may turn out that Pickersgill has dug heavily into the Canadian tax- payers' pockets. . ' NEW BEEF CATTLE Jim Ormiston, MP from Mel- ville, Saskatchewan, is seeking information on a subject of in- terest to all Canadian cattle- feeders. He wants to know whether Agriculture Minister Harry Hays bought in France three bull calves of the famous Charolais beef strain, for his own Alberta ranch--and if so, when, Mr. Hays recently an- nounced a new. policy which permits the importation of Charolais, despite some risk of hoof-and-mouth infection, -and this has raised the demand for these cattle among Canadian and even U.S. ranchers. Jim Ormiston wants to know the facts and the sequence of dates; he will press his question when Parliament reassembles, Period Of Recession Feared In Quebec After World Fair Montreal Metro - Express-- Quebec's revenue minister, Eric Kierans, has just said out loud what almost every Quebecer is thinking without daring to speak: Mr. Kierans fears Quebec will undergo a period of recession after the 167 world's fair is over... . The Montreal economic re- gion now is in the midst of the most active period of its history. . . . And this eco- nomic activity is very largely conditioned by the great event that Expo 67 will be. Some of Expo's officers joined Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau in reassurances to the population. There is, they say, no danger of economic recession. Mr. Kierans, ex- cellently placed to grasp the situation, has certainly thrown cold water on these partisans of "limitless confidence." The problem exists, no question about it. And Que- bec is extremely vulnerable to even the slightest decline in the economic effort now concentrated around its met- ropolis. During .the last 12 months, the gross national product grew by . per cent. But during the same period Montreal and its outskirts have seen output rise by 14 per cent. The metropolitan region continues to develop at a rate unmatched in the rest of the province. Far from closing, the gap that separates the standards of living of Montreal and the rest of the province keeps on widening. Quebec's economy prospers to the degree that Montreal's economy grows. And this Montreal growth cannot slow down without serious reper- cussions in. the economies of many less - favored regions outside Montreal... . But Mr. Kierans has a duty to go further than his warn- ing. He must find a way, and soon, of solidifying the bases of the province's economy to give Quebecers protection against the consequences of a Montreal-area recession, The only. means he has at his dis- posal is the evening-out of economic development and living standards in all seven main regions of Quebec.
