ie cs Times ; -« Published by Conedian Newspapers Limited : 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1965 -- PAGE A -- United Nations Survives And SoH igs 'World Peace light has foeussed, often in searing strength, on the United Nations Organization. Its apparent failures, its frequent ineffectiveness, its in- 'congruities, its cliff-hanging crises have been the stuff of which head- lines have been made practically every day. Yet it has survived to observe its 20th birthday tomorrow. And in the global sense it has kept the peace. "The 20th anniversary of United Nations Day should cause us all to sit down and consider what our world might be if it had not had this great international organiza- tion. to bring order and sanity into its affairs," writes Brig. John H. Price, national president of the United Nations Association in Can- ada. "I suggest that, without it, the world would have been in a state of tension and chaos... far greater than we have experienced. "Any of the many crises which have been surmounted during the hectic postwar years could easily have erupted into global conflicts which might have destroyed civili- zation. We should be truly thankful and realize that we have been saved from such catastrophies by the existence of the United Nations. "The provision of a forum for debate and discussion between peoples of many nations and of all colours and creeds I believe, has resulted, in a better understanding of the many problems faced by the international community and paved the way for sanity and good will to prevail. "T feel that recent events have greatly strengthened the position of the United Nations in the eyes of the peoples of the world and that we can look forward with optimism to ever increasing effectiveness of the organization in keeping the peace." For Canadians, that the United Nations has reached its 20th birth- day holds a special significance. Through the active roles our re- presentatives have played in the many fields of endeavor the UN spans, our country has had an in- fluence and a force for good on an international scope which otherwise would have unlikely been possible. It's A Popular Pursuit A funny thing is happening on the way to the offices of returning officers across Canada for Monday's Nomination Day. In this election 'that nobody wanted" there. have been more prospective candidates than ever before in the country's history. Something like 1,000 will be in the running, and three or four times that number showed interest at party conventions in standing for office. As Ottawa writer Richard Jack- She Oshawa Fines T. L.

"It may be a long, long chance, and unless it's in his stars to win one of the 265 prizes, he's out his $200 -- but if he beats the heavy odds and clicks, then he picks up than annual $18,000 (the annual stipend of a member) plus all that goes with it, which is plenty".

A package like this --in payment for a five-day week, a seven month year, with nobody keeping tabs on the actual time worked' -- isn't all that easy to come by. It's a rosy picture Mr. Jackson paints. It does not have to detract from the conscientious service the candidate elected can render.

In the latest Gallup Poll survey, a majority of voters (54 per cent) agree with Mr. Pearson that a Party with no clear-cut majority is bad for the country. Only about two-in-ten Canadians think a Party in power, without an overall majority, is a good thing for Parliament. One-in-ten feel it does not make much dif- ference, one way or another. The greatest number (64 per cent) to view a minority government with apprehension comes from the western provinces. Only 47 per cent from Ontario, on the other hand, feel a minority government in Ottawa is bad for Canada. The question: "As you may know, Ottawa has had a number of minority governments recently -- that is a Parliament in which the patty in power has no clear-cut majority over all other parties combined. On the whole, in your opinion, do you think this has been good or bad for the nation?"

TOTAL (once iH f quent East Quebec Ontario West SOL Laurier Sought To Master Turbulence OfRacial Strife By MELVYN PELT Canadian Press Staff Writer Canada's emergence as a na- tion after 1867 is a story of exciting, turbulent times, of racial conflicts between English and French, of the growing pains of a young land. How Sir Wilfrid Laurier tried to master, or at least appease, these problems which threat- ened to destroy Confederation is told in "Laurier" (Macmil- lan) by Joseph Schull. Before the young lawyer from Quebec could tackle these dif- ficulties he had to overcome two problems that stood in the way of any French - Canadian Roman Catholic who fastened his sail to the Liberal party mast. Schull relates how Laurier tried to convince the Quebecois that a Catholic could be a politi- cal liberal without being a here- tic as the clergy preached. Moreover, English Canada had to be shown that a French- Canadian could be trusted with the reins of power -- that he would not pass them into cleri- cal hands. Laurier struggles with these problems until he finally be- comes leader of the Liberal party and leads it to victory in 1896. He was to govern Canada for 15 years. SOUGHT COMPROMISE For those 15 years and later as Opposition leader, Laurier, as Schull demonstrates, tried to find policies that would find ac- ceptance by both races. Compromise was the only solution for Laurier and he tried to apply it to all difficulties that threatened to erupt. into racial conflict. "He was far from convinced that any bridge (between the two races) would hold, yet the building of it, if bridge there was to be, was the real work of the country." The bridge was shaky, the problems of minority rights and imperialism were strong and, in the end, he lost his support- ers. The young people of Quebec led by Henri Bourassa found in the 1900s a heady brand of na- tionalism that pictured Laurier as subservient to the English masters of Canada. The English - Canadians left his side when they heard the clarion call of imperialism, be- lieving him to be anti-British. KING WAS LOYAL One man stood by him--Wil- liam Lyon Mackenzie King who, Schull writes, "seemed to be the apotheosis of the ordinary." Up to Schull's biography there had been three main books on Laurier; John Dafoe's Laurier: A Study in Canadian Politics; O. D, Skelton's Life and Letters of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and John Willison's Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Although all were written in the early years of 1900 Schull does not add any new insights into Laurier's political career. However, he does add another dimension to Laurier--that of a personal life. Schull relates in sympathetic tones the tale of the asthma attacks that often crippled the Canadian leader for days and weeks, his relations with his wife Zoe and his pla- tonic friendship with Emilie Lavergne. Although Schull neglects to analyse the events surrounding Laurier (his winning of the 1896 election, his relations with Gov- ernor-General Minto and his de- pendence on English-Canadian business leaders) the biography admirably serves as a portrait of a man who longed to be a Canadian first, a Liberal second and a French-Canadian third. POINTED PARAGRAPHS One of the principal laws of nature is being circumvented increasingly by medical science. Reference is made to the law of the survival of the fittest. Few of his followers wept when Father Divine died re- cently, as he had told them that his death would merely mean he had been derpersoni- fied and would remateralate later. One is reminded of the person who, upon noting this inscription of a tombstone, "Not dead, but sleeping," said, "He ne nobody but his- self." QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT Concrete This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Trois - Rivieres Le Nouvel-. liste--Premier Robarts of On-. tario has protested against Quebec's contention that it represents French - speaking minorities in other provinces The Conservative leader of the neighboring province de- clared: "We don't believe that the Quebec government can, in any way, represent the in- terests of French - Canadians who live in other Canadian provinces." That's an extremely stand. Mr. Robarts' expressed opinion is, however, not a sign of a hostile attitude to- ward Quebec. The Ontario premier has said the people of his province would not aesi- tate to recognize the particu- lar status of Quebec on the linguistic and cultural levels. What Ontario wants is that there be a single Canadian national identity and that Ca- nadians of both languages con- sider themselves as partners in the Canadian nation. It is by awarding rights and privi- leges\in this field to the peo- ple rather than to the gove ment that the head of the Ontario cabinet denies the right of the Quebec govern- ment to represent the French minorities who ab in all other nadian province: will Mr. Roberts trigger a clear new conflict between the gov- ernments over this issue? Mr. Lesage will probably not de- -QUESTION OF MINORITIES If he wants to bring Action Needed, Robarts Told dreams. out the point that the govern- ment of Ontario is willing by the treatment of French ml- norities in other provinces. Quebec is asking for lay in making his reaction known. No matter what it is, we will be inclined to support the Ontario premier. Lan- guage is' a matter of indi- vidual freedom. If a French- Canadian living in another province hasn't enough pride to want to preserve his ma- ternal language and resist assimilation, no government can claim the right to ask that he be given an_ education which takes his ethnic origin into account. If we believe that Quebec does not represent French- Canadians outside of the prov- ince, it is because we don't recognize the right of the On- tario government to represent its citizens who have estab- lished themselves in Quebec. The Quebec government represents the French - Cana- dian in Quebec only, but it has the duty of interesting it- self in the fate of French mi- norities in other provinces, of aiding them, helping them, and supporting their demands. Even if it doesn't represent them, it has the right to bring up the matter of equality of Canada's, two founding races and ask that they be given the same treatment as that given the English minority in Quebec. If Mr. Robarts asks that Quebec completely ignore the French minorities in other provinces, he is living on itself to assume its responsi- bilities toward the French- Canadian minorities of that province, let him quickly give tangible proof of this. He has shown he is well disposed but intent alone is not enough. Concrete action is needed.-- Paul-Emile Plouffe (Oct. 11) Montreal Le Devoir = Mr. Robarts has declared .. . he does not agree that the Que- bec government can represent the interest. of French-Cana- dians in other provinces. From the jurisdictional and consti- tutional point of view, the On- tario' premier is right, but Quebec's demands can only be explained by the failure of other provincial governments to respect the cultural rights of their French-speaking citi- zens. By denying Quebec's rights on this subject, Mr. Robarts asserts not only the rights but also the duties and obligations of other provinces. Let them give justice to their governed French - Canadians and all will go well. At Calgary, Mr. Lesage said Quebecers believe that Can- ada's international image should always, and throughout the world, reflect the fact that Sit Ul aZeurt yenp siyy Pejoeds "a1 Pey BMEIO JT "aay UTsTI0 there are Canadians of French outside dealings, Quebec's role could have been more flexible. The same is true for guarantees that past injustices will be corrected and not re- peated. .. . -- Paul Sauriol (Oct. 12) . Sherbrooke La Tribune-- The recent information-spread- ing tour of Canada's Western provinces by Quebec Premier Jean Lesage was perhaps not as great a success as it was thought it would be. Mr. Le- sage himself, on his return from the three - week trip, asked that the press take on the job of instructing its read- ers on-provincial political ac- tivity, and more particularly, of making it easier for the various sectors of the vast Canadian territory to under- stand each other. The "two solitudes" therefore persist in the country and we ask our- selves about the possibility of achieving union between the ethnic groups so as to ap- proach a clear and precise dialogue in a frank and loyal way. Because of this, Mr. Lesage believes that before calling the nation together to revise the constitution it will be nec- essary to find a. formula to . link communications from one coast to the other so that Ca- nadians will be able to speak the same dialect, discuss mu- tual problems . . . and debate national questions without set- ting up barriers of culture, re- ligion or language. it) AE ali "34 ety ry ch Le Loi ener CANADA'S STORY Talon A Top Talent By BOB BOWMAN In the 1660s France had a great minister in Jean Baptiste Colbert. He formed the Com- pany of the West which was to develop all the French. colonies, including Canada, or New France as it was called, Colbert intended to build the greatest empire the world had ever known. In 1670 he sent Jean Talon to Canada as Intendant, or busi- ness manager. He was a worthy representative of the great Col- bert, and if there had been more men like him, Canada might easily have belonged to France lay. Talon began his job on Octo- ber 23, 1670 and in a few years he had developed ship buildin and fishing industries, and ha survey parties looking for min- erals, As settlers began to come from France there was a great need for housing. As each home needed a good deal of land for raising its own food, and hemp for making clothes, there was a problem. If the homes were widely separated, Mey ould easily be attacked" by the' In- dians. Talon solved the problem by having each home built on a tract of land shaped like wedges of pie. The homes were built at the apex of the triangle, where they could be close together, while the land behind them widened sufficiently for farm- ig. Each settler had to clear two acres of land for himself, and also two acres on other tracts to pave the way for new seiciers coming later. Cattle, horses, sheep and digs were sent out from France and multiplied. Their hides led to the establishment of a tanning industry. Women were given looms to weave the wool from the sheep, and #0 began the weaving of blankets and carpets that is an outstanding attribute of Quebec even today. Canada, under France, made its greatest progress' when Talon was Intendant.

Yet no sector of the U.S. economy had more reason to expect suitable rewards for past favors. Organized American labor was utterly committed last year to the re-election of President Johnson because it was petri- fied at the prospect of former senator Barry Goldwater prin- ning. For that and other r The big blow to labor was in- ability to push ahead with re- peal of the ban in 19 states on the union shop. The 'offending item is Clause 14 (B )of the Taft-Hartley Act, authorized by Congress over the veto of former president Harry Truman and under labor fire ever Since. It authorizes the so-called "right-to-work"' law--permitting any employee to work without belonging to a union. In the other 31 states, employees just join the prevailing union shortly after starting work. Ten of the 19 right - to - work states are southern, where opposition to labor had expected at least two special items to become law-- and it got nothing. In a political system where former good deeds are kept in mind for harvesting future bene- fits, President Johnson owes American labor a lot. trade still is strongest. This was to be the year to kill 14 (B) with the help of a big Democratic majority. But as Congress ran out of gas, after producing a spate of leg- islation unprecedented since the New Deal of the 1930s, the re- Peal of 14 (B) also faded. No Immediate Threat Posed By Chinese, New Delhi Decides NEW DELHI (AP) -- India's Strategists apparently have de- cided that China poses no im- mediate nuclear threat--taking into account the probability that Britain and the United States would be forced to intervene if Peking ever wages atomic war on its Asian neighbors. This reasoning seems behind Prime Minister Shastri's reiter- ation that India's policy is not to manufacture nuclear weap- ons and '"'we shall stick to it." . It was authoritatively learned this policy has been re-exam- ined in recent weeks and that Shastri's government was split on the question of whether to take India into the nuclear club. At the height of India's war with Pakistan last month and simultaneous confrontation with China, right - wing pro - bomb pressure mounted on Shastri. His government then sampled public opinion on the matter, permitting one cabinet member to publicly call for nuclear arm- ing of India and allowing lead- ing members of the ruling Con- gress party to 7" petitions i enunsing Shastri take the step. There appear to be these major policy judgments behind Shastri's decision: If China attacks India it will be with conventional ground forces making shallow penetrations through the Him- alayas. And if China tries nu- clear war, Britain and the U.S. would be forced to enter the fray, though this is not spelled out in any treaty or even understanding with Lon- don and Washington. pee Nd MMAR te reuse re EOE ie le or a neers ACCORDING TO BOYLE...
