Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1965 --- PAGE 4 Medical Schools Aid: Priority Item On Agenda A conference of provincial and federal health ministers will be held shortly to come to grips with the de- tail of a national medical care pro- gram. Regional and economic -- as well as political -- aspects are bound to be thoroughly surveyed, yet it is essential that careful consideration given to the paramount problem jn such a program, the provision of general practitioners to render the fervice. * Statistics are often deceptive and that which shows the present ratio 7 one physician to every 860 Cana- ans seems particularly so. A rule @f thumb average for the country as whole takes no account of special- ists, nor of the uneven distribution of general practitioners. But it is the Bvailability of medical aid that will become of cardinal importance in the scheme now being considered. The solution involves, of course, an intensive speeding up in the provi- gion of medical schools, * The annual average of graduates from Canada's twelve medical Schools in the 1946-61 period was 785. From this number have to be deducted foreign stidents who re- turn to practice in their own coun- tries,:those who become teachers, others who will become doctors in industry or take non-practising posts such as in public health, and still more who go on to specialize. As a result, the ranks of general practitioners are not greatly en- larged. Before a doctor can be trained-- arid the period, including internship, is a minimum of six years -- there must be a place for him in medical school. From drawing the first plan to graduating the first doctor may take upwards of ten years. There is, therefore, urgent need for the feder- al government to push ahead with aid for medical schools. Existing ones will have to be enlarged and new ones built, And hand in hand with this expansion must go vastly increased expenditure in research to keep up with modern developments in the field of medicine. Surely the need for these training centres rates priority at the health ministers' conference. If the medi- care program is to begin in July of 1967, it ranks among the first and most pressing items on the agenda, Nearly Twice As Deadly Grave concern is being expressed throughout Canada -- and particu- larly in Ontario -- this summer about the terrible toll taken in traf- fic accidents. A rather startling statistic in this regard has been produced by the Ontario Safety Council: The traffic death rate on the basis of miles travelled is con- siderably higher 'in Canada than it fs in the U.S. ' Most of us envisage travel south of the border as millions of motor vehicles moving like masses of ants along roads and freeways. Yet the record shows the hazards are high- er on Canadian roads. In 1964, some 4,655 people were killed on Cana- dian roads, giving a mileage death fate (number of persons killed per 100 million vehicle-miles) 9.2. The United States rate was 5.7.

Greer ere eenermnmaereen eNO NENA A NIN ANA THE League: If Canadians drove as safe- ly as U.S. drivers, the 1964 saving would have been about: 1,800 lives spared, 52,000 personal injuries and economic loss of $120 million avoid- ed. The shocking fact is that traffic is nearly twice as deadly in Canada as it is in the nation to the south, And, at the same time, U.S. safety officials are constantly. campaign- ing--reminding the public that most traffic accidents are avoidable; that the great bulk of the traffic slaughter results from driver fail- ure--from just plain bad driving. How much more. serious must this fault be in Canada? The main reason for the disturb- ing disparity, says Fred H, Ellis, manager of the Ontario Safety Council, is that very few Canadians are correctly taught to drive, In the United States, half the high schools' have been giving driver- education courses for many vears. Drivers are prepared for the res- ponsibilities of the road before they get their first licence. Other Editors' Views RIGHTS OF CITIZENS There must be no lessening of this concern for the constitutional rights of persons accused of crime, But the first and foremost priority today must be a like concern for the rights of citizens to be free from criminal molestation of their person and property. --.Lewis F. Powell, president of the American Bar Assn. 'ASSOCIATED' STATUS TALKED... yt sm ret NR Re eR Separate Representation By J. C. GRAHAM ' Canadian Press Correspondent WELLINGTON (CP) -- Ata time when the trend all over the world is to closer integra- tion of races, the New Zealand parliament' presents an' anom¢ aly. The Maoris of. New Zealand are among the most advanced and best integrated of native races in Western civilization. Yet they retain separate repre- sentation in parliament, And parliament has been debating a move not only to retain the sys- tem, but even to extend it. The Maoris are represented in the House of Representatives of 80 members by four Maori MPs, elected on a separate roll, The Maori MPs, supported by the opposition Labor party, have been demanding that a fifth Maori seat be added, be- cause the Maoris are increas- ing in numbers more rapidly than the white population, The government response has been that, far from, perpetuat- ing the system of separate rep-, resentation, all Maori seats should be abolished and the whole population should vote on a common roll, However, the government has indicated that it would not take such an initi- ative without a clear mandate from the Maori people, At present, and for a long time past, all four Maori seats have been held by the Labor party. Government speakers have been quick to claim that this is the reason Labor sup- ports proposals for a_ fifth Maori seat. MAORIS DIVIDED The Maoris themselves divided on the question, many of them maintain. that the race still needs its own spokesmen in parliament to safeguard specific Maori inter- ests, Attacking suggestions that the Maori seats should be abolished, a leading member, of the Labor party, N. E. Kirk, said in par- liament that the government wanted to mimic. the policy of the nationalist government in South Africa, There the only people who represented: colored people were whites Opinions on this point vary. Some people maintain that just are but as many Maoris as at present would get into parliament on a common roll, Others claim the race would critically lack spokesmen in parliament, One outstanding case has oc- curred where a distinguished Maori, Sir James Carroll, rep- resented a white constituency in parliament for many years, Cit- izens with some degrees of Maori blood can choose whether to register on the white or Maori roll, At the last election three part-Maoris ran for white seats, None was elected, but one came .close to success. Supporters of the idea of a common roll say that. once white constituencies show their willingness to elect Maoris, or part Maoris, the movement. for abolition of the special Maori seats will gather momentum, In local - body politics large numbers of Maoris are elected to borough and city councils on common rolls, SYSTEM ATTACKED J. R, Hanan has castigated the present system as "simple apartheid."" Attacking in par- liament the proposal for a fifth Maori seat, he made a. call in- stead for the fixing of a clear timetable to abolish separate representation, "We have now reached the stage when a time should 'he fixed, say 10 years hence, for abolition," he said. 'Should this take place, I assert that there would be more members of this House with some Maori blood than there are today." Hanan warned that the time would come when the United Nations would indicate that electoral segregation by separ- ate representation was incom- patible with. the concept of an integrated society, There the matter rests, The government has declined to ac- cept the idea of a fifth Maort seat, But it is taking no active steps on Hanan's suggestion for a timetable for abolition, Indications are that no gov- ernment is likely to pursue the matter until there are stronger demands from the Maoris them- selves for a common roll, So far the Maoris are not support- ing in substantial numbers the claim that the separate roll is a form of racial discrimination, Naming Of Co-Chairman Urged To N.B. Civil Service Board Moncton L'Evangeline -- There was long discussion, at the recent convention of the Acadians' National Society, of the provincial civil service, and the issue has often come up since the commission on bilingualism and bicultural- ism came on the scene. Everywhere in Canada French - Canadians complain of discrimination at the senior levels of the civil service. There is certainly room to wonder why the French popu- lation of New Brunswick pro- vides only 16 per cent of its --public-service,It-_is_true that we lack competence in-some cases, but more often jobs are filled by persons less qualified than our people. It is principally in promotion of civil servants that preference for English-speaking employ: ees enters.

That is why the suggestion of the Acadian Society that the cfvil service commission have two full - time chairmen, one of them French - speaking, is practical and the only solu- tion at the present time, But it_is important that the two chairmen hold equal power so that the French-speaking one, for example, does not be- come the mere assistant of the other but has full respon- sibility on questions which concern the French share, It would then become easier to give equal opportunities to civil servants in internal pro- motion, something that is not done now To name co- chairmen to the New Bruns- wick civil service commission would be a mighty service to the province and the country. Bernard Poirier, (Aug. 18) a.) PTO HENRI TEP ...ONUS ON ENGLISH Answer Required To Two-Nation Idea By Christopher Young In Ottawa Citizen The idea of two "associated" Canadian states is gathering strength in Quebec. When this conception first hit tha front pages a couple of years ago, via the provocative tongue of Rene Levesque, it looked rather like a sour joke. English - language newspapers from one end of the country to the other poked fun at it and suggested that Prem- fer Lesage ought to recall his resources minister to the - land of reason Now the associated - states idea has become respectable. Sometimes the term itself is used, sometimes not, but the idea that lies behind ft is now so commonplace that it hardly seems radical in Quebec This became apparent at the recent Couchiching conference when two bitter foes from the Quebec legislature --- Educa- tion Minister Pau! Gerin-Lajoie and Opposition Leader Danial Johnson --- separately express- ed their visions of the Cana- dian future. JOHNSON MORE CANDID The two speeches were 50 similar that English speakers in the audience were inclined to wonder why these two politi- cians were in different parties, Johnsen, being in opposition, was the more candid of the two, said the other nine provinces, they why have your strong central gov- not go ahead and franca in common with the Am» ericans, Commonwealth of the Ghanaians and a associated His goals for Canada run so close to separatism that it is hardly worth making the dis- tinction. At the end of his speech, someone asked him just what areas he thought couli be dealt with in common between the Quebec and the '"'English- Canadian" nation. He drew a laugh by saying that in present circumstances he would be happy to leave the postal service to the federal government, He. thought 'we could keep a common currency, although Real Caouctte would- n't like it. He thought defence would be a joint matter, And that was all Gerin-Lajoie was not quite so stark, but he ton spoke as though Quebec City was the place whence French Canada should be governed, Ottawa the capital of "English Canada'. There was no reason, he said, why constitutional arrange- ments should not formalize the facts, which were that two na- tions existed in this country Both speakers sympathized charmingly with the fear that Canada might be baikanized, This was a legitimate fear in ernment in Ottawa? We'll have our strong government in Que- bec There is just one big fat fal- 'lacy in all this, "English Can- ada" -- an erroneous and mis: leading term for a. non-exist- ent entity -- is not a nation. Quebec, in certain senses of the word, is a nation, but Canada-minus-Quebec is not, It has neither continguous terri- tory, nor a common cultural herifage, nor a history of com: mon action in that shape ONLY COMMON FACTORS Its common factors. are only two: that English is the lan- guage of official and general usage; and that we are all citi- zyens of a country called Can- ada, a country which certainly includes, at its heart, the basin of the St. Lawrence River, This is all that binds the naturalized Ttalian-Canadian working on a construction gang in Toronto to the Newfoundland fisherman whose ancestors have patrolied the Grand Banks for 300 years. Think of anything else if you can Language is a strong bond, it's true, but we use this lingua states on which the sun never sets. What we have left in com- mon, exclusively as Canadian, is the land itself, from the sea even to the sea. Canadians who live outside Quebec are going to have to deal with this associated-states fallacy somehow. We are not a nation by ourselves. We do not wish to be one, Without Quebec, we would be only the remnants of a nation, and the world would acquire another wretched par- liticwe like Viet Nam and Ger- many ONUS ON ENGLISH If we are to reject the maim- ed and deformed nation-hood which Johnson and Gerin-Lajoie are trying to foist upon us, we must have an alternative. That is why we should be listening to men like Maurice Sauve, who also spoke at Couchiching Mr. Sauve's answer is that English-speaking Canada must create conditions in which French-Canadians can feel at home throughout the country, not just in Quebec. Then all of Canada could belong to all Ca- nadians, instead of part of it to some of us. : PEDIAL-FRINGE BENEFITS YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO September 1, 1940 Ontario Regimental Band, di- rected by Bandmaster Jack Broadbent, won permanent pos- session of the Beare Co. trophy at the Canadian National Exhi- bition, when they captured first prize in its class for the third year in succession.

Smith, playground supervisor, announced that Cedardale Playground retained the Walmsley-Magill trophy as winners of playground activities for the second successive year. 40 YEARS AGO September 1, 1925 Major A.

H. Deyman became the firm's manager, Better Attitudes Held Key In U.S. Granby La Voix de l'Est Los Angeles was the scene of riots that have no precedent. Thousands.of Negroes, broken loose, battled with police, burned cars, smashed store windows and gave themselves to pillage. The gravity of the situation was such that the authorities called in the na- tional guard. Amazing, this conduct of the Negroes? Not at all, Amazing, rather, is the fact that they did not revolt earlier, In the United States, land of liberty, one must be white to enjoy. all one's rights, A Negro is considered, in many states at least, an unworthy being, a slaughter animal or an indi- vidual fit only for the most unsalubrious slums. Ever since the abolition of slavery, he has been kept in the sec- ond rank of society... . He is disenfranchised, like, the criminal... . Nor is there any cause for surprise in the racial strug- gles this attitude brings with it. In our view, in the case of Los Angeles, it is not against the Negroes the national guard should be fighting, but against those who use the most reprehensible methods to prevent them from living as free citizens. Violence brings violence, and in the case af the Negroes they have so long been victims of injus- tice that their demonstrations appear justified. They do not succeed in obtaining recogni- tion of their rights when they respect the established order, It must be hoped that the American population will re- turn to better attitudes toward them, for revolt can only grow within the Negro popu: lation.

Watson MacNaught describes as "the most acute political problem in Canada today" -- the Nova Scotia coal industry. While Mr. MacNaught under- standably thinks of the problem in -political terms, it involves economic, social and human factors. The fate of half a dozen communities and close to 7,000 miners rests .on decisions that will likely be taken before year end, Coal is heavily subsidized to compete with the United States' product and with other forms of fuel which have all but run coal out of the domestic heating mar- ket. Now the coal people are seeking millions of dollars to enable them to buy more and better equipment and to re- habilitate the mines generally, Key company is Dominion Coal, a subsidiary of Dominion Steel and Coal which is part of the giant British Hawker - Sid- deley. firm. Dominion Coal is asking some $25 million to acquire improved coal digging machines. But a group of inde- pendent operators has also ap- proached the goernment re- questing equal treatment, To advise it, the government has-appointed_Dr..._R. Donald, a_Montreal engineering consult: ant. He started a full scale re- view of the-industry in July and is expected to have a_ report ready some time this fall, He will report directly to trade and commerce minister Mitchell Sharp, rather than to mines minister MacNaught or Labor minister Allan Mac. Fachen. .As Mr, MacEachen comes from the coal area and Mr. MacNaught- from neighbor- ing Prince Edward Island, the government deemed it wise to name a minister who has no connections with the area or the industry. Dominion Coal's general man- ager is vigorous John Haslam of England, holder of three en- gineering degrees, He took over the troubled company several months ago and is determined to solve its problems with or without government aid. Major problem is that the bulk of the coal is mined under the Atlantic ocean, After miners arrive at the pit head it still takes them almost an hour of underground travel to reach the operating areas, Recently I accompanied mines minister MacNaught on a visit to number 26 colliery at Glace Bay. After changing to the traditional miner's uni- form complete with hard hat and miner's light, we descend- ed in the cage, boarded a string of mine cars for a noisy, dusty journey, walked a quarter of a mile and finally crawled the last few yards on hands and knees to the cramped working area, We had travelled close to five miles, were some 2,500 feet down and three and a half miles out from the Cape Breton shoreline, This long haul creates eco- nomic problems and leads some to believe the industry should gradually be phased out of existence. But manager Haslam takes the opposite view and is optimistic about the future. He says the company is mining an area roughly 18 miles along the sea coast by four miles out under the Atlantic. Given the right equipment, he believes they can go as far as 12 miles out and still have a viable operation, The company produces 4,200 tons a day from the colliery and Mr. Haslam wants to raise this to 5,000-tons.-Greater--pro- duction is needed to ensure cus- tomers that their requirements can be met. One of the major consumers is Ontario Hydro which uses many tons in its steam generating plants. A large new coal ship, with auto- matic dumping equipment, has recently been added to the fleet which takes Cape Breton coal up the St. Lawrence to the Toronto area, Organized labor plays a big part and United Mine Workers' regional! president William Marsh and his colleagues have made their views well known to Dr, Donald and the govern- ment, The union has close to 7,000 dues-paying members in the area and will do all it can to ensure that the jobs of the miners are secure, The miners average about $4,000 a year. Mines minister MacNaught says the government can only do so much and that the ulti- mate solution rests with the company and the union to in- crease efficiency and step up production, TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS September 1, 1965... The French explorer of the St. Lawrence, Jacques Cartier, died 408 years ago today--in 1557--at his native town .of St. Malo. Cartier was convinced fabulous gold mines were to be found in the kingdom of the Sag- uenay and spent all his time, when not exploring or escorting settlers, looking for them, He took mineral specimens back to France and continued to send ships to Canada when the govern- ment discovered the speci- mens were worthless and suspended its plans of col- onization. 1858 -- The British gov- ermmment took over the rule of India from the East In- dia Company. ; 1880 -- All British North America except New- foundland and its depend- encies was annexed to Can- da.

Two Mainstays In Difficulties When James Callaghan, Brit ain's chancellor of "the ~ex-- chequer; visits Washington to talk financial matters, he can be expected to be told brusquely that the British should keep the Union Jack flying briskly from Aden to Singapore. And do it with little or no U.S, help. There's an odd switch involved in this. A few years ago the favorite American pastime was twisting the lion's tall to make him. cough up his colonial em- pire. Now, however, the Ameri- cans have had a taste of the old British job, of carrying the white man's burden in faraway places. Tied down in Viet Nam and uncertain how to extricate themselves from the Dominican Republic, they are not anxious to take. on any of Britain's fi- nancial burdens in Malaysia or Southern Arabia, 'This, of course, has been an American attitude for quite some time, It was realized rather belatedly in the White House and State De- partment that the British over- seas had been doing a_ vilal work. Disillusionment with the process of bringing indepene dence to all peoples has somee thing to do with this chi . The disquieting aspect of. this for other members of the West- ern alliance is that these two great mainstays of that alliance, Britain and America, shouldbe in even temporary difficulties in matters of defence, All the more reason, then, that efforts te bring about reasonable -- and . honorable -- settlements In Viet Nam and Malaysia should be pushed, It is in the Common- wealth's interest, too, that such settlements should be arrived at.
