he Oshawa Gines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1965 -- PAGE 4 - Manifesto Put On Books Without Party In Power _A political statesman as respect- ed outside his party as he is revered within, M. J. Coldwell was a keynote speaker at the New Democratic Party convention in Toronto this week. A guarded optimism regard-: ing a rise in party popularity per- vaded the meetings. In line with this, Mr. Coldwell predicted al- though "I may not live to see it... Canada will certainly one day have a' people's government .. ." "4There's no question about it. Without his particular "people's government" ever attaining power, many of the policies advocated back in 1983 by the old-line socialists drafting their Regina Manifesto have been instituted. Strangely enough, the manifesto was considered such a dastardly document the CCF decided it was a political liability and in 1958 amend- éd it, softened the hard lines and named their revision the Winnipeg "manifiesto". Yet, while the CCF and later, the NDP was endeavoring to soft-pedal, publically at least, the Regina Manifesto, "People's gov- ernments' 'led by other political par- ties were at work. Just how busy they have been is evident on a re- reading of the Regina Manifesto. Such an assignment was under- taken recently by veteran Ottawa observer Gerald Waring. He found the manifesto called for: State economic planning. We have it in departments of finance, trade and industry; in the Liberal Econ- omic Council that expanded on the . Tories' Productivity Council. Socialization of finance: We have it in substance: in rigid controls and restrictions on lending institu- tions; in the government's deep in- volvement in lending -- for hous- ing, farming, fishing and industry--~ and in the proposed Canadian De- velopment Corporation. Social ownership of utilities. This has increased rapidly as in Quebec's takeover of the private power com- panies, Agricujture. We have crop insur- ance, farm improvement loans, the wheat board, subsidies -- really more than the CCFers sought ex- cept for party prices. The comparisons can be found in state boards for external trade, in the encouragement of co-operatives, in socialized health services, in BNA Act amendments (CCF wanted pow- er in Ottawa where it now is.) In financial policies, the manifesto sought a mixture of soak-the-rich, share with the provinces and debt- free money. The Liberals and the Conservatives have partly imple- mented the first two policies but not the third. And so it goes. Former Prime Minister St. Laurent once said the CCFers were Liberals in a hurry. The record would indicate the Liber- als -- and for that matter the Con- servatives, too -- have stepped up their socialist pace. Mr. Coldwell and his colleagues may take satisfaction in the course of events. But where does it leave the hundreds of thous- ands of Canadians who vote Con- servative and Liberal tickets to reg- ister opposition to the state control of socialism? 'France On The Move' "France is on the move", pro- claimed the New Democratic Party chairman at the convention in Tor- onto last week. He was embarrass- ed and quickly corrected himself. His reefrence concerned the fact that he felt his party was "on the move in Quebec". She Oshawa Simes T. L, WILSON, Publisher R. C, ROOKE, General Manager C. J. MeCONECHY.

Existing govern- ment programs and aitti- tudes are outlined in the following story. By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Provincial government ap- proaches to medical care insur- ance form a medley ranging from deep involvement to wait- and-see. None seems impatient to change its present status. A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press shows two have programs running; two have passed legislation but have not yet begun operations; four are making full - scale studies, and two seem to be waiting for what may happen over the Hall report on medi- cal insurance. The federal government has been playing the cards close to the vest in dealing with the recommendations in the royal commission report of Mr. Jus- tice Emmett Hall of the Su- preme Court of Canada for a government - sponsored, univer- sal and compulsory program. Except for Saskatchewan -- which had its own government- run, compulsory and universal plan before the Hall report came along--none of the prov- inces has so far shown an im- patience to get into the field of compulsion. The programs in Alberta (operating) and in Brit- ish Columbia and Ontario (on paper) are voluntary. The Saskatchewan plan has been in operation since July, 1962, when a temporary "with- drawal of service' by objecting dociors threw it into a crisis period at the start. Since then, time has resulted in wide-- though not unanimous--acccpt- ance. The scheme covers a broad range of medical service, in- cluding 'psychiatric. Drugs and dental work are excluded. The CCF--which initiated the plan while in office--recently indi- cated "'some form" of drug cov- erage would be provided should it be returned to power over the incumbent Liberals. All residents of Saskatch- ewan must be enrolled, new ar- rivals after three months there. The cost in 1964 was $23,000,000, or $23.53 per capita. Premiums are $12 a year for single per- sons and $24 for families. These cover about $6,000,000 of the cost, with the remaining $17,- 000,000 coming from half of a four-per-cent '"'health and edu- cation" tax. Alberta's program consists of the supervision of plans run by private carriers, plus govern- ment subsidization of premiums for persons with small. incomes, The subsidies amounted to $2,- 500,000 in the 1964-65 fiscal year and the government estimates they could go to $6,000,000 if all qualifying for help took full ad- vantage. STANDARD PACKAGE Profit-making and mon-profit carriers are approved if they of- fer the type of standard medi- cal package endorsed by the government at rates no higher than specified maximums, In- surance may not be withheld from anyone on the ground of his health condition. Maximum premiums are $63 a year for single persons, $116 for couples and $158 for couples with dependents. About 220,000 persons are covered by subsi- dies, which range up to $72 a year for couples with depend- ents in the no-taxable-income class. Premier E. C. Manning has laid heavy emphasis .on the voluntary nature of the plan: "It isn't one of those socialis- tic, state-regimented deals. We believe the only responsibility of the state is to see that the costs of medical services are brought within the financial reach of all our people." The British Columbia scheme --adopted this year to come into effect Sept. 1--is like Al- berta's in that it is purely vol- untary and subsidizes low-in- come customers, but it differs in that a government-controlled agency acts directly as an in- surance carrier, GOT NO TAKERS Originally, the government's proposal was to operate through private non - profit carriers. When none of these showed in- terest, the government with the co-operation of the B.C. Medi- cal Association set up an agency called B.C. Medical Plan. It will issue ordinary and subsidized insurance, though the government tells normal subscriber prospects they may be just as well. off to stay with a private plan if they are al- ready in one., Ordinary rates are $5 a person per month, or $12.50 for families with three or more. For those with no tax- able income it will be half this, and three - quarters for those with taxable income up to §1,- 000. The range of treatment is wide including psychiatry and limited chiropractic, orthoptic (eye correction) and naturo- pathic services, Subsidy For Low Incomes Proposed In Ontario Plan Private plans are not af- fected except that some are ex- pected to lose subscribers to BCMP, including those who want broader coverage at slightly higher cost, BCMP probably also will take over many high-risk clients, since its premiums are fixed regard- less of state of health. Premier Bennett estimates that about 250,000 persons qual- ify for subsidized medicare and that it will cost the govern- ment $6,000,000 in the first year. Another 31,000,000 will go into a stabilization fund to take care of high-risk cases. HAS FULL SUBSIDY The Ontario program -- adopted this year to go into ef- fect June 1, 1966--is the only one with subsidization up to the full amount of premiums for those with low incomes. Pre- mium subsidies are estimated at up to $70,000,000 a year. The legislation also governs the sale generally of medical insurance by private profit and non-profit ' carriers. Maximum premiums are expected to be set at around $180 a year for a family for a standard pack- age, compared with about $159 now. For the difference, anyone will be able to get in, regard- less of health. Each carrier will have to of- fer for sale two standard con- tracts: one giving first-dollar coverage; the other with a de- ductible $50 plus 20 per cent of the balance. High risk losses would be pooled among the car- riers through a separate corp- oration. Apart from full premium subsidy for those with no tax- able income, there will be lesser subsidies up to the point of $1,000 taxable income. Existing private plans are not affected. The carriers just add the standard plans to their wares. QUEBEC IS KEY? Premier Robarts has stated that the Ontario arrangement is malleable enough so that it will not "in any way prevent us from: working in co-operation with the federal government." He also has indicated that he considers Quebec's entry neces- sary to make a federal-provin- cial plan work. Quebec's position in relation to a country-wide plan is, at the moment, enigmatic. Pre- mier Lesage has not com- mented on the Hall report but has stated that medical insur- HN SILENT, SULLEN CHALLENGE... HUM UL RU _."RERICA FOR ULAR AFRICANS' THESIS History Draws Unique Racial Frontier By CAROL KENNEDY LONDON (CP -- Where the Zambesi River loops across southern Africa, history has drawn a unique racial frontier. Independent black Africa and minority - ruled white Africa meet here in silent, sullen chal- lenge--and as both sides be- come entrenched, the future of the white man in Africa grows more unpredictable. Among 294,000,000 Negroes in- habiting a continent more than three times the size of Canada, there are only 4,000,000 whites --three-quarters of them in the republic of South Africa. How they live and what their pros- pects are prompted British journalist Richard West to tra- vel 14 African countries--10 of them black-ruled--for a report first published as a newspaper article, then as a book called The White Tribes of Africa. West, who writes for both the Consérvative Sunday Times and the left wing New Statesman, claims to have begun his first trip to Africa with 'no special prejudices either way."' He ends by being in favor of 'Africa for the Africans" but along the way comes up with some sharp com- ments. from people living with the problem of adjusting to multi-racial societies. In Ndola, on the highly in- dustrialized copper helt that once powered the economy of the Central African Federation and now is part of independent Zambia, Canadian clergyman David Stivens told West: "Had we in Canada been asked to make the psychologi- cal and spiritual adjustment which has been demanded of the folk here over the past five or 10 years, we would all be psychopaths," OFFERS VIEW In Tanzania, where a medley of European and Asian nations, Communist and Democratic, vie for African goodwill in the steamy heat of Dar es Salaam, an Australian offered this view on race relations: "The more sophisticated peo- ple are, the more difficult it is for them to get on with the Africans. That's why the Portu- guese get on better than the English, 'the Italians better than the Czechs, the Chinese better than the Russians." Some Africans gét on better with Europeans than others, West found. In the easygoing West African countries, notably Gambia, the races rub along together without friction, and Africans are far less color- sensitive than in other parts of Africa. Among the most successful whites in African society, West found, are the Israelis. A poor nation, tey are proud of having made themselves an economic power and eager to pass on the fruits of their experience. "At a deeper level, they are anxious to see the Negro race prove itself equal to any other. The Jews know all there is to know about the horrors of racial prejudice." At the other end of the scale in West's book come the white Rhodesians. Unlike their neigh- bors in South Africa, Rhodes- jans have. no. historical ties to their land, only a sentimental and nowadays bogus attach- ment to the 'pioneer spirit' of Rhodes' and Jameson. Two- thirds of the 225,000 whites in Rhodesia are post-war immi- grants from Britain who came for a standard of living they could not aspire io at home and who now dread. that African power will take it from them. West found Rhodesia a "sul- len"' land, where the boredom and incompetence of many of the whites were matched by a frightening lack of knowledge or interest about the nearly 4,000,000 blacks whose emanci- pation they fear so much. One white political leader, at the end of an interview in which he had lambasted West with the familiar refrain about "coming to tell us how to run our country," suddenly lowered his voice and asked conspira- torially: 'Tell me, what are the Africans thinking?" What of the future for the white man in Africa? West pre- dicts white expertise will long be needed and valued in the new independent countries, es- pecially in commerce and in- dustry. He adds his. own per- sonal "hunch" that the position of the white man will grow "better rather than worse" as time goes on. He believes the real threat to Africa's peace comes from two opposed systems: the Chinese Communist strategy of '"'stir- ring up the dregs of tribal sav- agery"' and the danger of the 'poison of apartheid' spreading from the foot of the continent to. the whole body. ile fitie Nit Mitta in Nitin Stet Sia ADLAI STEVENSON 1900-1965 YEARS AGO Stevenson, An Eloquent Man Operating In An Era Of Crisis 25 YEARS AGO July 17, 1940 Col.

The committee is to report by the start of 1966. The timetable then calls for a study by a joint committee of. the upper and lower Quebec legislative houses, which would later draft legislation. Speculation is that a plan will be put before the legislature at the 1967 session. How this would mesh or collide with other federal - provincial plans is unforeseeable now. Three other provinces--New- foundland, Nova Scotia and Manitoba--have studies in pro- gress. In Newfoundland, Lord Brain, former president of Britain's Royal College of Physicians, has been conducting a little. publicized one-man royal com- mission study on health serv- ices since 'last fall. HALFWAY IN NOW Newfoundland, also, has had one foot in government - run medical insusance for the last 20 years. More than half the province's 500,000 people--those in the more isolated areas -- are covered by a "cottage hos- pital plan'? that gives them medical care in a string of small government hospitals for nominal premiums. The gov- ernment picks up any deficits. NEW YORK (AP)--For much of his life Adlai Stevenson was an eloquent man of the arena, vigorously advocating the cause of his country, or his party, in an age of continual crisis. As governor, candidate or dip- lomat, Stevenson fought the wars in which words are weap- ons, and he was their master. His gift for the. eloquent epi- gram, and the quick quip, made him pre-eminent as a spokes- man of American political phil- osophy. Stevenson was a man of wit and humor, and more often than not used himself for a tar- get. Confronted in the 1952 presi- dential campaign with the charge that he was an intellec- tual, Stevenson cried: '"'Egg- heads of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your yolks." ' In 1952, after he lost his first campaign for the presidency, Stevenson said: "I feel like the boy who stubbed his toe--I'm too old to cry and it hurts too much to laugh." Once. asked whether he had even thought as a boy that he might grow up to be president, he replied: "Yes, but I just dis- missed it as a normal risk that any red-blooded American boy has to take." HUMOR A WEAPON On the campaign stump, Ste- venson used humor with telling effect. "The Republicans have a 'me too' candidate running on a 'yes but' platform, advised by a 'has been' staff," he said dur- ing the 1952 campaign. And in 1956: "I have finally figured out what the Republican orators mean by what they call 'moderate progressivism.' All they mean is: 'Don't just do something. Stand there.' " Whether Stevenson was talk- ing politics, eulogizing an old friend, or pleading the cause of peace, he had the phrasemakers fluency. Here are some of his words: On the death of Mrs. Frank- ling D. Roosevelt: "She would rather light candles than curse the darkness, and her glow has warmed the world." On civil liberties: "The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own. opinions, But there is also a moment at TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS July 17, 1965 ... .

Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal cords." ON MANY SUBJECTS On the United Nations: "If communism is a problem to the United Nations, so is the United Nations a problem for commu- nism. The United Nations is a community of tolerance and a community of tolerance is a ter- rible frustration to the totalitar- fan mind." On patriotism: 'The anatomy of patriotism is complex, But surely intolerance and public ir- responsibility cannot be cloaked in the shining armor of rectl- tude and of righteousness. Nor can the denial of the right to hold ideas that are different-- the freedom of man to think as he pleases, To strike freedom of the mind with the fist of patriot- ism is an old and ugly subtlety." On communism: "There are laws of history more profound, more inescapable than the laws dreamed up by Marx and Lenin --laws which belong not to class relationships or stages of eco- nomic development, but to the nature and the destiny of man himself. Among these laws is the certainty that war follows when new empires thrust into collapsing ruins of the old." Increasingly, in his role as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Stevenson was con- cerned with the problem of peace. In his last speech, made six days ago to the UN Eco- nomic and Social Council in Geneva, he said: "We travel together, passen- gers. on a little spaceship, de- pendent on its vulnerable re- serves of air and soil; all com- mitted for our safety to its se- curity and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and I will say the love we give our fragile craft. We cannot maintain it half fortunate, half miserable, half confident, half despairing, half slave--to the ancient ene- mies of man--half free in a lib- eration of resources undreamed of until this day. No craft, no crew can travel safely with such vast contradictions, On their resolution, depends the survival of us all." BIBLE Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content.--Philippians 4:11. Success is measured, not in what one might do under certain fixed circumstances, but by what one does in the circum- stances which surround him, many of them not of his own selection. Jesus said, If any man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. -- John 14:23. j Our heart is the home of God, and the heart that contains the love of God contains the spirit of God.

"The Japanese built fortifications and ammunition dumps during the Second World War, and this is one of the last places the French pulled out of after the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954.

Economic Hold In Rhodesia Possession is nine-tengths of the law; ask anyone in Peking or Hanoi. The great strength of Mr. Ian Smith, prime minister of Rhodesia, is that his govern- ment is in control of its country and, indeed, of its armed forces. How many divisions has the Commonwealth? As a collective, abstract en- tity, the answer must be "none" hence the African and Asian pressure on Mr. Wilson to use Britain's troops to effect the African revolution in Salisbury, Mr. Wilson will not use troops, in spite of the kind offered by the presidents of Tanzania and Zambia for staging facilities in their countries. Yet, if the Com- monwealth is to be saved, Brit- ain must do something. What? The one clearly strong card that Britain has is that it could very well strangle Rhodesia's economy. The Commonwealth has been told again that if Mr. Smith chooses to declare his country independent without Westminster's permission then strangulation will begin. This is a negative weapon, but it seems fair enough to argue that Mr, Smith is now unlikely to grab independence, or that if he does that will be the end of his regime anyway. This weakness on the part of Salisbury is about the only strength Britain is willing to use; hence Mr. Wilson's earnest attempts to persuade the Com- monwealth that negotiation is likely to produce results were not well received. Even so, there could just con- ceivably be results. The very fact that it is now becoming generally recognized that Mr. Smith can now move no further towards his cherished goal of in- dependence without either trip- ping himself up or doing a con- stitutional deal with Britain, is dt any rate a straw. The trouble, from the dark Commonwealth's point of view, is that it is not of straws that revolutions are made, still less of pious declarations of intent by precariously-balanced British prime ministers. --London Economist) Montreal Windsor Edmonton Gordon W.
