She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 8&6 Kina St. E.. Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Real 'Shocker' Revealed By Opposition Leader A statement made by Progressive Conservative Leader John Diefen- baker this week is likely to shock the Canadian electorate much more than any of his previous talk per- taining to alleged scandals in high places. He has forecast another min- ority government. By Mr. Diefenbaker's prediction, of course, it will be a Conservative government. But as far as Canada is concerned, in such a situation, it could not matter less what party is "in power". The shattering prospect is that this election will accomplish absolutely nothing -- that we will be faced with the cost and national disruption of yet another campaign in but a year or so -- if that long. 'The prospect must be a distress- ing one for the Opposition Leader too, While Prime Minister he spoke minority government. When an- eloquently of the shortcomings of nouncing the election of March, 1958, in the House of Commons, Mr. Diefenbaker is quoted in Hansard as saying: "No honorable member will sug- gest that a situation in which a gov- ernment can depend upon the sup- port of only a minority of the mem- bers of his House is a satisfactory situation or one that could be ex- pected to continue long." Again in 1958, he was quoted: "The government cannot possibly hope to carry forward its long-term program of the development 'of re- sources and strengthening of the Canadian economy ... unless it can be assured of sufficient support in the House..." "We believe that for effective government the responsibility of carrying on the government of Can- ada should be fortified by a direct and unquestioned mandate from the people," he said, also in 1958. While in the current campaign it is the Liberal party which is stress- ing the necessity of having a major- ity, there can be little doubt that Mr. Diefenbaker also recognizes the importance of such a stable govern- ment. The disservice to democracy of such a government giving to splinter parties and minority groups influence far beyond their represen- tation is also now generally recog- nized. Fortunately, all is not lost, It still rests with the voters to decide the form of government Canada will have after Nov. 8. Mr. Diefenbaker has pointed to a most unpopular pos- sibility of another House of Minori- ties. Voters have the time and op- portunity to prevent it. ...Prepare For Crash _ A resolution has been drafted in Kitchener that the legislature of On- ' tario should be petitioned to amend éxisting legislation to provide for éompulsory wearing of crash hel- is no doubt that crash helmets can greatly protect a person in surviv- ing a crash. The values of helmets, safety goggles and: hard shoes has proven its value in hundreds of cases mets by the riders of motoreyclesincthe building and foundry industry and that existing laws for the licens- ing of drivers of motorcycles be tightened. It is one which other On- tario municipal government might well endorse. Such support was given recently by the Guelph city council. * One member of the Guelph council objected that this was going too far in telling motorcyclists what they should wear and that it was inter- fering with personal rights.

It is estimated it is six times as dangerous to drive a cycle or bike as compared with a car.

OTTAWA REPORT Liberal Campaign Fully Organized By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The Liberal party organization is a total operation. Its impressive size and admir- able thoroughness far exceeded those of any other political party in Canada. Its substan- tial finances are drawn from big business, from $100-a-plate banquets and from individual $2 memberships, and these far ex- ceed those éver available to any. other party--except possi- bly the Conservative party in the 1958 campaign. These funds enable the large whole-time staff to ensure that the Liberal campaign will reach into. every corner of Canadian life. Thus the Liberals have the manpower to comb the world for electoral ideas. From the U.S. campaign textbook, The Making of the President, they culled many ideas and even slo- gans: The War of the President, they culled many ideas and even slogans: The War on Poverty and Sixth Days of Decision. Now from the British textbook The Making of the Prime Min- ister, they have borrowed the campaign press briefing in the capital. But whereas in the Brit- ish 21-d campaign, both parties held daily briefings, in our eight-week campaign the Liberals hold them only weekly. BRIEFS PRESS I visited the former centre- town private ome of a success- ful doctor, which is now Liberal party headquarters, for the reg- ular Tuesday morning briefing. The size and sumptuousness of the old home is indicated by its four bathrooms on the second floor and a complete two-color printing press in the basement. National organizer Keith Davey makes his office in what was the doctor's panelled consulting room, And 15 gathered journalists there, facing Mr. Davey behind his desk, with campaign chair- man Walter Gordon, better known as the finan¢e minister in the last Parliament, beside him, Informally, all sipped cof- fee from paper cups; a few lit cigarettes or pipes. On Keith Davey's desk stands a bronze model of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, the central pivot of the infamous wall. The room is dominated by a large frame above the carved mantel, containing seven photos the French - Canadian Liberal leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, at various ages. Opening the briefing, Walter Gordon, so much more at. ease in those informal surroundings than in the House, candidly out- lined his views on the progress of'the campaign. "My opinion now is that the smaller parties will not do well in the election. The NDP, whom many people expected to make gains, will not appreciably add to their present 18 seats, The Social Creditors now seem un- likely to capture seats in Al- berta from the Conservatives. Caouette's forces in Quebec will be reduced. About our own pros- pects in the West, I am cauti- ously hopeful." But when pressed on this latter point, Mr. Gordon said they have '"'iso- lated hopes" which he refused to pinpoint; it seems that on bal- ance the Liberals expect no big gains west of the Lakehead. CHALLENGE TO DIEF? Mrs. Lenore Andrews, the creator of the powerful wom- en's Liberal clubs in Saskat- chewan which won that. prov- ince for Premier Ross Thatcher, is running in Prince' Albert against John Diefenbaker, I commented, asking: 'Is she one of your secret weapons?" "No comment," replied Walter Gor- don, with a smile Justice Grinds At Uneven Pace On Thousands Of Rights Cases YORK (AP) The wheels 'of justice have been grinding at an uneven pace through the cases of thousands upon thousands of American civil rights demonstrators ar- rested in the last five years. An Associated Press survey of active spots throughout the U.S. showed that enormous backlogs of court - clogging cases still await action in some areas. But, in others, new legislation or ap- pellate courts. have vacated state charges on a wholesale ba- Sis, NEW In some states where ar- rested have piled up--Missis- sippi, Alabama, Georgia, Mis- souri, Tennessee, South Caro- lina, Florida--federal or state appeals courts have voided con- victions running into the thou- sands. In others, like Maryland, new legislation has made further lit- igation unless, and state offi- cials have dropped. charges. At least 1,500 Georgia cases arising from racial troubles re- main undecided, some dating back to 1961, More than 1,000 are pending in Albany, Ga., where a massive desegregation campaign by Dr. Martin Luther King., Jr., in late 1961 and 1962 filled the jails. The more spectacular cases brought historic rulings from federal courts throwing out laws requiring segregation of buses, schools and voting lines, and public accommodations. One significant offshoot 'has been recognition of the right to demonstrate--a recognition that may have been helped along considerably by actions of the federal courts. Whenever integrationists are arrested in racial trouble spots, one of the few predictable reac- tions is an attempt to get the cases tried in federal courts. The manoeuvre often suc- ceeds. No case accepted by a iH uit ag federal court has resulted in conviction of the defendant. In some states--Alabama, for instance -- officers have said they are awaiting the outcome of federal appeals before begin- ning prosecution, Alabama has charges pending against some 2,000 persons, mostly Negroes, With about 1,400 resulting from the voting rights drive in Selma last March, and 420 from. similar drives in Greensboro. Most of the defendants are eharged with misdemeanors, such as disobeying an officer or blocking a public thoroughfare. All are out on bail averaging $200 each. CONVICTIONS REVERSED In South Carolina, where one Negro leader estimates there have been 5,000 to 6,000 arrests since 1960, all convictions ap- pealed to federal courts have been reversed. Civil rights leaders estimated only one-fourth of the demon- strators arrested in South Car- olina have been prosecuted. Most were charged with tres- passing or disorderly conduct-- misdemeanors which carry maximum penalties of 30 days in jail or a $200 fine. In Tallahassee, Fla., the state supreme court voided local con- victions for charges of. disor- derly conduct or disturbing the peace, The attorney-general's. office in Maryland said the 900 cases pending there more than a year ago have been dismissed on a wholesale basis because of new laws. Big northern cities appear to be quicker about. processing their cases, but defendants ap- peal them just the same. In Chicago, where police ar- rested some 800 demonstrators during almost daily marches in June, July and August, between 300 and 350 have been convicted and fined, ...ON AMENDING CONSTITUTION Fulton-Favreau Formula Likely To Be Shelved By GERARD ALARIE QUEBEC (CP) -- Indications are that the Fulton - Favreau constitution - amending _ for- mula, the subject of heated vo- cal opposition. by Quebec's op- position Union Nationale party, will be shelved at least tempo- rarily. The formula has been the subject of public controversy in Quebec for several months, and Premier Jean Lesage, who said earlier this year he would pro- mote the formula, said recently he is not yet ready to say "'yes or no" to it. li was developed by three dif- ferent federal governments over a four-year period with the co- operation of all provincial gov- ernments. A year ago, it re- ceived the unanimous approval of all Canadian premiers at a special federal-provincial con- ference in Ottawa. The formula was first pre- sented to the public in 1960 by Davie Fulton, then Conservative justice minister. Its purpose was to allow Canada to bring the right to amend the Cana- dian constitution to Ottawa from London. The first draft of the formula was amended in 1964 by Guy Favreau, then. Liberal justice minister, and approved by pro- vincial representatives. At Charlottetown in 1964, dur- ing a constitutional conference held while Prince Edward Is- land was celebrating its centen- ary, the prime minister and the premiers unanimously agreed the constitution must be "re- patriated." NEEDS UK APPROVAL The Canadian constitution is made up of several sections of the British North America Act, adopted in 1867 by the Parlia- ment of the United Kingdom, and can only be amended with its approval. The Fulton-Favreau formula, if passed by the Canadian goy- ernment and approved by that of the United Kingdom, would eliminate the powers which the Parliament of the United King- dom has over the Canadian constitution Prime Minister Pearson said at a press conference in Char- lottetown at the end of August, 1964, that the Canadian conati- tution was a '"'humiliating colo- nialist holdover'? and that it would be. 'repatriated' before Christmas of that year. Premier Lesage said he "fore- saw no more major difficulties" in connection with the "repatri- ation."' However, it was under- stood that simultaneous with the passing of the formula it would be necessary to set up machin- ery to amend the Canadian con- stitution The right to amend the Cana- dian constitution, after adoption of the formula, would be in the hands of Canada's federal and provincial governments. The Fulton-Favreau formula has received the approval of all provincial legislatures except that of Quebec. LESAGE 'NOT READY' Premier Lesage said last Fri- day in the legislature that the holdup is caused by the issue of the method of modification of the constitution and that he is not yet ready to approve the formula Manitoba Premier Duff Rob- lin went even further at an elec- tion rally in Trois-Rivieres last week, when he said there is rea son to think about 'rejecting the Fulton-Favreau formula," He stressed his legislature's vote on the formula did not mean it had been accepted but merely that. it had been ap- proved as a "basis for discus. sion" of the Canadian constitu. tional problem. And, two weeks ago, Mr. Pearson said "one word from Quebec could start a re-evalua- tion of the Fulton-Favreau for- mula." The formula states that any Proposed modification of the Ca- nadian constitution would have to receive the approval of the federal and provincial govern- ments Premier Lesage had said ear- lier this gave Quebec a type of veto power. However, many Quebec opponents of the for- mula say this power is not enough and that Quebec must be granted special status. Until all the provinces have accepted the formula, it cannot be submitted to Parliament for approval, and indications are that Quebec is not yet ready to decide, PEARSOW "STATESMAN " IMAGE QUEEN'S PARK TWO ROADS TO OTTAWA (evrrne mney CANADA'S STORY Quebec: Second Round By BOB BOWMAN Many nations in the world were born in blood, sweat and tears. Canada had a happy be- ginning. Canadian and Maritime delegates met at Charlottetown on September 1, 1864, then went on to Halifax, where the Mari- time delegates met privately, and finally it was arranged to meet again at Quebec on Octo- ber 10. On the way from Halifax to Quebec, the Canadians visited Saint John, New Brunswick, where there was a dinner at Stubb's Hotel. It was there that George Etienne Cartier, John A. Maccdonald's great French Canadian colleague, sang "God Save the Queen" in French and English, mo Aven ctevc ii etttninagtnaniay ttc Ce oT nn ee Everything had gone so well that the delegates believed that Confederation would be accom- plished by 1865. Yet there was hard going at the Quebec con- ference, and it was the threat -of an American invasion that got the work finished before the end of October. On October 28, 1864, the tired delegates ended the conference and went to Montreal. From there they travelled to Ottawa by steamer and had a luncheon in the Parliament Building which was only half finished. There was still doubt that Ot- tawa would be the capital of Canada, even though it had been chosen by Queen Victoria Then the delegates went on a flag-waving tour by train, to Attitudes In Washington, Hanoi Negotiation Frozen By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Sena- tor J. W. Fulbright's renewed call for another American halt in bombing North Viet Nam might be likened to a man shouting down a rain barrel. Official attitudes in Washing- ton and Hanoi appear frozen into positions ruling out any fresh and meaningful efforts to- ward negotiation at this stage. Each side continues to prepare for a long war, informed opin- ion here holds. Fulbright, Democrat from Tennessee, has continued to raise questions about American policy as chairman of the Sen- ate foreign relations committee but he does not pretend to wield much influence today. The senator's latest public statement came Sunday via a television press conference where he suggested the five-day bombing pause of mid-May be tried again "for a more reason- able time.' The previous 'halt followed suggestions from him- self, Prime Minister Pearson of Canada, Prime Minister Shastri of India and others, but in Ful- bright's view 'was not a very long time to get any kind of ne- gotiations under way." President Johnson, convalesc- ing at his Texas ranch, seemed to brush the Fulbright proposal aside as useless, He was quoted by press secretary Bill Moyers as believing that '"'we would be willing to do it again if there were indications from anyone else that to do so would be pro ductive. But we have no indica- tion that another cessation of the military strikes against military targets in the north would change anyone's mind anywhere else." AIMS OPPOSED The aims of the United States and North Viet Nam, which has had the unqualified support of China in its view, remain dia- metrically. opposed and neither has shown any recent sign of shift or change. The U.S. is determined to pre- vent any Communist govern- ment in South Viet Nam or even to permit the Communists to get a toe-hold on any civilian government 'that might even- tually replace the current mili: tary junta, It has said the Viet Cong insurgents in the South can sit in on any negotiations through the representatives of the north. As for the North, negotiations must proceed on the assumption that North and South will be reunified, Johnson, in fact, is expected to face rising pressure for more and not less bombing of the North as the 1966 congressional elections come closer. Johnson has held that only the force that is necessary will be used and attacks generally seem to have been restricted to transport, military and some power targets, But last week, Gen, Curtis Le- May, former commander of the Strategic Air Command, called publicly:..for -harder.. bombing blows at the North, while ex- cepting Hanoi. ATTITUDES HARDEN Despite the bombings, no sign: has been evident that the North Vietnamese are softening; the reverse seems more likely. The Washington Post has pro- vided an incidental footnote to the sterility of peace initiatives so far from whatever source, suggesting in a story from New York that Ottawa and Washing- ton sabotaged efforts to strike up a dialogue in Hanoi by Blair Seaborn, He is Canada's senior representative--with India and Poland -- on the International Control! Commission formed to supervise the truce envisaged by the 1945 Geneva agreement on Viet Nam. The newspaper. recalls that Seaborn's efforts in the North were made public in Ottawa and that last June 17, nine days later, Johnson got in the act. At a press conference, John- son read from what he called a classified report by an unnamed person to argue that Hanoi was intransigent. The report was speedily pinned on Seaborn and the Washington newspaper says Seaborn's "'cover"' was exposed and his usefullness ended as a go-between. It says that Seaborn is being transferred but Canadian «offi- cials say he has completed the normal 18-month term on the control. commission, That is the reason for his leaving, they say.

Crusaders Overstate Their Case By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There's a further lesson in the Farmers' § Al- lied Meat Enterprise Co-opera- tives Ltd. report which we all might take to heart, Commissioner Mr. Justice Campbell Grant paid consider- able attention to the extrava- gant hopes Charles McInnis had for the co-operative meat busi- ness, including some of the statements Mr. Mecinnis made when zealously trying to. pro- mote the enterprise. In elaboration of the latter he reported an excerpt from a food publication, Food of Canada, which took some of these state- ments and then knocked them down. It makes interesting reading. One of the statements the ro lication alleges Mr. Melnnis made was that capital invest- ment in Ontario's meat packing industry was only about 411,- 000,000, OFF COURSE : This was far from the fact, the publication says. At the time the statement was made the re- placement. value of the plants concerned would be a minimum of $70,000,000 to $75,000,000, Another alleged statement was that producers received less than 40 per cent of the con- sumer's dollar. Hog producers, the publica- tion said, according to a report of the royal commission : on price spreads, received 60.5 per cent of the dollar, Then there was the question of profits, Mr, McInnis allegedly said the net profits of packing plants were 50 per cent of capital in- vestment, The publication says that from 1949 to 1957 they were 8.8 per cent of investment after taxes. : Aside from these figures Mr. Justice Grant brought out that apparently meat packing is a@ low profit, high risk business ra- ther than the rosy gold mine which Mr. McInnis was apt to paint it, This particular experience highlights one of the problems of today--the problem of getting through to hard fact., Many people would have taken Mr. McInnis' figures as gospel. Many probably still do believe them, He probably was fully convinced himself that he was right. He would have picked up these favorable figures some- where, And being favorable wouldn't have bothered check- ing them. In fact, he probably would have avoided checking them. In his crusading zeal he wanted them to be right. And today you see so much of this same thing. With zealots and crusaders on the march there is such a torrent of prop- aganda and half-facts you have to be constantly on guard. In many situations you find that what is presented as -the true picture is far from right, YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Oct, 28, 1950 Oshawa Lion's Club officially opened a furnished recreation room in the CRA Building for Oshawa"s blind, The presenta- tion was made to L, E.
