M4 0 LIBERALS FAVOR ONE GROUP? 47 PER CENT: ANSWERS 'NO' By 'THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Generally speaking, Canadians do not feel any undue apprehension that the Liberal Government in Ottawa is favoring one group in this century over another. But nearly a decade ago public opinion was pretty evenly divided on this subject. , Today almost half the population (47 per cent) do not think the Liberals are favoring any one group. Twenty- eight percent say they are and 25 per cent have no opinion. 'In 1555, 37 per cent of the voters thought the Liberal Government. of that day was favoring one group over others and 36 per cent said it was not. ; Professional and white collar people are least critical of the Liberal Government on this score. -- But when Gallup Poll interviewers further questioned the almost three-in-ten adults who accuse the Liberals of supporting one group over another, 50 per cent said Quebec, And, turning the penny over, from French Canada came the complaint, "English-speaking Canadians'. An Army officer in British Columbia was unique in his answer -- "Time and Readers' Digest magazines," he said. The question: "Do you think the Liberal Government in Ottawa is favoring any one group in this country more than an- other?" Published- by Canadian.

Contributions range through dona- tions to treatment at the Crippled Children's School, assistance in Community Chest, Cancer and Heart Associations campaigns, providing outings at the Shrine circus for un- derprivileged youngsters, present- ing scholarships for high school stu- dents, In all projects, as it was noted at the organization's 20th an- niversary dinner, the endeavor has been to provide community service of the highest order.

SIGNS ON POLES Mr. Editor, It's nothing short of hypocrisy to have people running for Pare liament, a. body designed te making laws, while at the same time engaging in deliberate snubbery of the existing laws. Dr. Claude Vipond, as was published in. the. paper with photo and all, recently resorted even to using our young school children in the violation of the bylaw governing the placement of signs upon utility poles. One needs only to drive about the City and district to see great numbers of Starr, Vipond and Rundle political notices fastened to hydro and telephone poles. Why is this "illegal" practice ignored, and thereby condoned by our law enforcement people and civic officials? I was both pleased and sur- prised to read that Mr. Oliver Hodges, the New Democratie Party Candidate, has publicly urged all his supporters to re- frain from this popular practice. He pointed out the hazard te the utility employees who may have to climb these poles. A slip caused by one of the nail heads could have serious con- sequences, Mrs, Hodges ts to be com- mended upon his awareness and concern, Obviously, a large deal of restraint must be exercised when his "opposition" appears not to share similar respect for life and limb, or the laws of the Community, It is dubious that he will have complete success in this at tempt by virtue of the over zealousness of election cam- paigners, but at least an ear- nest~attempt is being: made; This alone has been enough to convince me to vote NDP this time.

It was disagreeable to the Canadians. Governor Carleton's forces: were thinly spread try- ing to defend both Quebec and Montreal. The key to the de- fence of Montreal was the fort of St. Johns on the Richelieu River. It was bravely held by Major Charles Preston and a force of 600 men. Carleton knew that he had to get reinforce- ments to him quickly, and tried to cross the river at Longueuil on October 30, 1775. Most of the members of his force were farmers "who wanted to get home and bring in their crops. They had little heart for fight- ing and many of them deserted. The proposal to introduce pedes- trian crosswalks in Oshawa gives pertinence to the findings of a sur- vey of some 2,000 drivers in Ottawa. It revealed a woeful lack of driving knowledge. For instance 58 per cent did not know that vehicles must halt when a pedestrian crosswalk is being used.

TAX SHARING POSES PROBLEMS Constant Consultation Seen Required This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French language press of Canada, Quebec Le Soleil -- Prime Minister Pearson has reiter- alec his intention of having the federal government give aid to higher education, Mr. Pearson said he hoped a federal - provincial confer- ence on this question would be held in 1966. Thus a pro- gram of aid to universities could come into effect at the start of the next. scholastic year. Faced with the financial needs of education, especially on the secondary and univer- sity levels, no one disagrees with the need for an import- ant contribution from the gov- ernments aimed at allowing education to play the dynamic role expected from it in our society... . For certain poor provinces such as the Maritimes, which have more trouble than oth3 have more trouble than oth- ers paying for their needs, federal aid is necessary to prevent national inequality which would in the long run be disastrous. One could say that federal grants aim only at aiding education and take nothing away from provincial rights over such education. But even if other provinces are satisfied 'by this argu- ment, Quebec is of a differ- ent mind... . On the one hand, Quebet bas reservations, by the constitution, about fed- eral intervention in a field that belongs exclusively to {he provinces, On the other, there is the desire of the Ing- lish provinces to obtain fed- eral aid which would compen- sate for disparities in provin- cial revenues and thus main- tain national standards of ed- ucational aid. This problem, like several others, is linked to the large problem of sharing tax reven- ues. Is it possible to amend the constitution so that each government will receive rev- enue in accordance with its needs? Even if this were pos- sible, it would be necessary for the 'central government and the provinces to consult regularly and co ordinate their policies to prevent the country's break-up into two or more pieces. (Oct. 18). Montreal La Presse -- We should always have known it, but unhappily we tend to for- get it: On this planet, water is the source of all life. It is necessary to visit certain for- eign countries to find out that in this field Canada is one of the best-supplied and most privileged in the world, And what about Quebec, whose enormous territory bathes in almost 1,000,000 lakes? For the first time in this (federal election) campaign-- and perhaps for the first time in our political history--we are making an issue of pos- sible talks with the United States about this precious na- tural resource which we have in such abundance. Our neigh- bors, who are starting to run Short, are thinking about get- ling some from us, They would like it if some of our water resources were di- verted into their area, Can this question be made the ob- ject of international agree- ments? In other countries and other continents less rich than our own, the problem has al- ready been resolved in this way. But we also know that 'wars were caused or threat- ened--for example take Is- rael and the Arab nations-- precisely because of a prob- lem like this one. Is it necessary to specify that the subject is extremely interesting to Montreal, as the water level of her port is largely determined by that of the Great Lakes, which are for the United States an enor- mous~ reservoir into which they are tempted to dip with cupped hands? We believe the greatest care will have to be exercised when the time comes for talks with the United States on this subject. We must con- sider this resource in the same way as we consider our wheat, our forests, our gas and our mines in general. And especially, we must not repeat certain errors of the past which were really too costly.--Cyrille Felteau (Oct. 19 Granby La Voix de l'Est-- Although the public usually considers the Canadian Na- Honal' Railways as @ state run enterprise, that's not the opinion of its president, Mr. Donald Gordon. It is, he says, a commercial enterprise Which js administered in the same way as all other com- mercial enterprises in North America. It has to solve the same problems and overcome the same difficulties as any other. One of the encouraging prospects for the future, Mr Gordon says, is the prospect of less, rather than more government control and of greater freedom of competi- tion within the field of trans- port The CNR's position has changed a great deal since Mr. Gordon took over his re- sponsibility. It would have changed even more if needed reforms had not often been turned down. Its passenger service now is one of the best, as is its freight service which is its main source of rev- enue. Certainly, as the CNR pres- ident says, we are often made to compare the Canadian Na- tional's deficits with the pro- fits of the Canadian Pacific. This leads to unjust criticism, To understand the CNR's po- sition well... one must turn to 1918, the year the enter- prise was formed by the fue sion of several companies, most of which were on the edge of bankruptcy.

"The problem is how to turn national drain into gain,"' said a U.S, aid official, "The South Vietnamese government hasn't been able to do the job." The number of refugees in South Viet Nam is a subject of dispute, but they are increasing and becoming the nation's rank- ing social problem. Some are victims of Viet Cong terrorism, some have fled America's air strikes and artillery barrages. The government, with firm prodding from the United States and private agencies, is being pushed into tightening its aid program to these people, Yet it has been able to provide little more than a subsistence level of food and shelter for them. President Johnson is known to have given the refugee problem a high priority, A 15-man team of experts arrived in Saigon this week to direct U.S. assistance to the refugees under the Agency for International De- velopment. One of the biggest criticisms of the aid program, as adminis- tered by the Saigon govern- ment's ministry of social wel- fare, is its spottiness, Bureau- cratic delays in Saigon and a lack of planning and trained personnel are blamed. "Where is the money going?" asked an American aid em- ployee who works with refugees in the provinces. "It doesn't seem to be getting-to the peo- la? Under the government pro- gram, each refugee receives the equivalent of 10 cents a day and a rice ration, The refugee is al- lowed $48 and a rice ration for six months when he is resettled, The government aim is to re- settle the refugees as quickly as possible, but many of them have no place to go, : It is known that Viet Cong sympathizers are among the refugees, but U.S. officials doubt that the Viet Cong have deliberately forced persons into camps to put a strain on the government, Latest government figures put 5 Likely To Run PARIS (AP) -- Gen. Charles de Gaulle, who once gave up his power, has promised to tell the nation by early November whether he will be a candidate for re-election in the December presidential election, Most Frenchmen expect the answer to be yes. Several news papers recently said he had made up his mind to seek an- other seven-year term. : His closest collaborators pre- tend not to know. They wouldn't dare give a hint if they did. Most of those convinced that he will run like to leave the door just a little bit open, Unpredicta- bility has been a de Gaulle hall- mark. In 1946, he resigned as head of the provisional post-war gov- ernment because he didn't like a constitution adopted against his will. He said it wouldn't work, It didn't, in part because de Gaulle had enough. support- ers in parliament to keep suc- cessive governments in constant turmoil. Although he kept a_ close watch from the wings, de Gaulle was officially off the po- litical scene 12 years. He was recalled in 1958 during the Al- gerian crisis. There are no similar irritants to drive him to renounce power a second time, but de Gaulle will be 75 Nov. 22. He could de- cide he had earned retirement.
