Wilson, Publisher « THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1965 -- PAGE 4 All In Canada Affected By Seasonal Joblessness " Seasonal unemployment affects every man and woman in Canada, not just the 250,000 workers who find themselves without jobs. It is not an economic problem that can be solved by the Unemployment In- surance Act, When total unemploy- ment is at its peak a quarter of a million men and women are out of work for no other reason than be- cause it is winter. And at least 40 per cent of these belong to the con- struction industry. As The Royal Bank of Canada un- derlines in its current news letter, the sad thing about it is that this an- nual depression is largely avoidable. We are v'ctims of a pattern of think- ing that belongs to days when Ca- nadians settled comfortably into hibernation once snow fell. While steps have been taken and procedures developed to alleviate the situation, we still require to spread public understanding of the causes and effects of winter employment to change our concept that winter un- employment is inevitable, and, hav- ing admitted that a more uniform level of employment throughout the year is attainable, then we need to make further plans and work to- ward its attainment. Not even the most optimistic peo- ple suggest that it is possible to eli- minate all seasonal fluctuations in economic activity. But a reduction by as little as one third would have a substantial impact on the econ- omy. As compiled by the Royal Bank, the ninety million dollars which this reduction represents could: (1) put 24,000 persons to work full time for one year; or (2) build 7,500 single unit dwellings at $12,000 per unit; or (3) put 15,000 students through a four-year: university course on scholarships of $1,500 a per; or (4) increase the investment in schools or other educational facilities by 20 per cent for one full year, thus giv- ing pupils a better send-off toward coping with life successfully. . Can They Apply Brake? Much prominence is being given to the election of Liberal Robert Winters and Conservative George Hees as the beginning of a better business approach to Canadian af- fairs on Parliament Hill. It places a great responsibility on two parliamentarians out of mem- bership of 265. However they do bring a background to House of Commons discussions which has largely been lacking. The Commons has long been the domain of the lawyer, They have outnumbered all others. There have been few teach- ers, some farmers, a scattering of small merchants, a sparse handful She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. J.

Another force has loomed in recent sessions too. It is the increas- ing cadre of former civil servants seated in parliament. They include Mitchell Sharp, Guy Favreau, Mau- rice . Lamontagne, old hand Jack Pickersgill and even Prime Minister Pearson himself. Thus it has been in recent years that business has exerted little, if any, direct influence on basic gov- ernment decisions. In some in- stances it has been treated with sus- picion if not hostility. For their part, Canadian business and _ industrial leaders have almost seemed to be opting out of national affairs. It has been no secret, as Ottawa writer Richard Jackson has pointed out, that it is the conviction of Mr, Hees and Mr. Winters that it's ur- gently essential for business lead- ers to show interest through direct personal political influence on the administration and its civil service advisers. Both, too, have stated their conviction that goverments must live within their means, and_ that limits public spending to what the treasury and the taxpayers can af- ford. While one or even two swallows don't make a summer, it will be the hope that these two parliamentar- OTTAWA REPORT Sovereignty Urgent Issue BY PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The possibility that Canada might lose even its present pretense of national sovereignty, and that its status would deteriorate from United States economic colony to state- hood, is no longer a forbidden topic. It is being openly dis- cussed--everywhere except on that most important forum, the Hustings. This was without doubt the most urgent issue undebated in our recent regrettable election campaign. The Liberal party is the party hell-bent on destroy- ing Canada; the Conservative party alone traditionally talks and plans in terms of Canadian nationalism, When recently in office, the efforts of the Con- servative government to retain our sovereign independence brought down upon its head the overt assault by the govern- ment in Washington, aimed at and successful in destroying it. While our addled egg-heads deplored such U.S. interven- tions in the affairs of other countries as Kennedy's Bay of Pigs invasion and Johnson's adventure in the Dominican Re- public, they foolishly and un- patriotically applauded the U.S. sabotage on our Parliament Hill by General Norstad and Secre- tary of State Dean Rusk. STANDS ON GUARD A possibility: never mentioned in public by public men is that the French-Canadians, with the realism inherited from their Eu- ropean forbears, are the only Canadians actively resisting ab- sorption. : What will the U.S. take-over of Canada mean? It will mean our total acceptance of U.S. laws and mores. Quebecers see that their absorption into the U.S. would deprive them of their Code Napoleon civil laws, would not recognize their lan- guage, would bring conscription for military service--in Vietnam and elsewhere, and would en- tail the total usurpation of the seats of power by Washington and Wall Street. This is why Quebec now is actively prepar- ing the way for the possible cre- ation of an independent state. Quebec, with its 350-year his- tory of struggle, hardship, achievement and identity in North America, neither wishes nor intends to become morely one slar ainong 55 on a piece of bunting atop the flagpole. U.S. is manifesting the his- toric purpose of imperialism, which is to create outlets for its manufactured goods. Thus the population of the ruling nation may enjoy full «mployment in skilled jobs and a greater de- gree of prosperity than the sub- ject nations, That is why the U.S, is taking over Canada with its dollar as surely as the Eu- ropean countries seized their empires with the gun, Already two-thirds of our industry is controlled by the U.S., and oper- ated primarily in the interests of its masters and their home- land rather than in Canada's in- terests. USURY OR vuNniROL? At this point, the pat argu- ment is raised, "U.S. invest- ment capital is essential for the development of Canada's re- sources." But so, too, was Brit- ish capital essential for the de- velopment of the young US, British capital was borrowed for the price of a loan--repayable; U.S. capital was foolishly per- mitted by our government to come into Canada as a capti- vating force not repayable at our option. This invasion oc- curred chiefly when effective governmental economic power was exercised in Ottawa by an American, C. D, Howe. Another Liberal economic czar, Walter Gordon, tried to reverse this trend -- almost too late, and partly in the wrong. way; but nevertheless he deserves the gratitude of Canadian national- ists--if there are any left. Yes, there are Canadian na- tionalists left, millions, of them. If the recent disastrous election did nothing cise, it opened the eyes of all Canadians to the shal- lowness, the incompetence and the unpatriotic partisanship of the second-rate men in or near the seats of power in Ottawa. A likely early outcome will be the jelling of a great new political movement, perhaps. openly called the Confederation party. This would draw support from the reluctant voters for all pres- ent parties; its object will quite simply be to restore and retain Canadian sovereignty, and to preserve the riches of Canada for Canadians. New Stability Established In Truck-Building Industry DETROIT (AP)--U.S. truck- builders grabbed off a_ king- sized share of the booming motor vehicle market this year. Preliminary indications are that a record high 1,750,000 trucks and buses will have been built when 1965 comes to an end, The over-all, continued pros- perity of the truck - building business was reflected in sales figures which showed this would be the fourth consecutive year in which more than 1,000,000 units were sold. Before truck sales took off on the million-plus pace in 1962, there were only three previous years in which 1,000,000 trucks were sold--1948, 1950 and 1951. Official registration figures compiled by R. L, Polk and Co., industry statisticians, showed registration in the first eight about 1,500,000 units, biggest in history. In years past, the truck busi- ness was erratic, with the trend generally seeing sales up one year and down the next, GAINS STABILITY That has been reversed, how- ever, and the trucking end of the business has a new stabil- ity. Added to the optimistic out- look are recent great improve- ments in trucks and engines-- economy cf operation, greater dependability, more power and greater speeds and increased hauling capacity. The sum to- tal would seem to be a greater need for trucks in the immediate future and that is what Detroit is banking on.

CANDID OPINIONS Continuing Role In One Debate nal John and the ecumenical coun- cil and with Paul-Emile Cardi- Leger in Canada: contact confrontation of two mentalities --the right and the left," wrote the Quebec magazine editor. "The right is established; it wins in the end." "One does not build on the backs of others," wrote another in his lead editorial. 'In order for independence not to lead to chaos, Quebec needs a compe- tent elite, able to acquit itself honorably in leadership posi- tions." The yoices were not those of political analysts, professors or propagandists, but of Roman Catholic priests. The first is a Dominican father and the sec- ond a member of the Sulpician teaching order. The Sulpician, Rev. Guy Pois- son, edits the monthly Monde Nouveau (New World), and the magazine's expression of sym- pathy for Quebec separatism last summer brought it wide attention outside the province. The Dominican, Rev. Henri Bradet, was commenting on his own dismissal from the editor- ship of another monthly called Maintenant (Now), an incident that. got less publicity outside Quebec but drew this comment from yet another priest-editor in the Jesuit magazine Rela- tions (Chronicles): "We can only hope that an agreement will be reached which will permit Maintenant to rejoin us, for the space its ab- sence would leave cannot be filled by any other magazine in Quehee today.' The three magazines are part by the clergy but dealing with public issues and aimed not at other priests or .parish groups but at the general public. All Three sell, on nepvsstands for 50 cents a copy and each claims circulation of about 20,- 000, half through subscription. The Monde Nouveau stir was loud but brief, and since its separatism number the maga- zine has confined its special- issue treatment to the more customary religious topic of catechism reform within the church. The magazine is the organ of ' the Pius XI Institute, an adult- study theological school run by the Sulpicians in affiliation with the University of Mont- real. Accordingly its content usu- ally deals with church and religious affairs, but Father Poisson argued in his discus- sion of Quebec independence that the question of the prov- ince's future has its place in a theological journal too. The church leaves her mem- bers free to be separatists or not, Father Poisson said, and he personally urged that some join the movement to. assure Catholic representation at the head of a possible future inde- pendent. state, although in an interview he said he doubted such a state would come about. Maintenant did not reappear after. Father Bradet's dismissal on orders from Rome in July. But the incident inspired a And the magazine announced there would be a November is- sue put out under a _ newly- appointed editor, Rev. Vincent Harvey, a former newspaper man No one issue or article has been pinpointed as the cause of Father Bradet's dismissal. Commenting in an_ interview about the order from Dominican Superior-General Aniceto Fer- nandez, Father Bradet said "apparently it is still the fash- fon in Rome to dismiss people without telling them why." The priest mentioned the *'general orientation'? of the magazine as well as its side activities. At a panel discussion organized by Maintenant at the Dominican monastery in blighted St. Henri district, a railway worker told the assem- bly: "our clergy never liked the worker . . . and now the worker in general doesn't care for the clergy." He also called for the elimination of capitalism as the only solution to working class problems. Before 1962 the Dominican or- der in Montreal published an academic publication called La Revue Domicanine. That year the. mountainside Cote Ste, Catherine house of the order undertook to replace the review with a more popular and topical magazine and Father Bradet began turning out Maintenant. The themes of the magazine were the themes that have been associated with the late Pope with non-Catholics and concern for the mass of lay members of the church--"left'" themes, as Father Bradet calls them. They were expressed largely by a lay staff under his direction. When his removal became public July 17, his staff,. includ- ing another Dominican, Rev. Paul Doucet, quit 'Maintenant in a show of solidarity with their editor. Rey. Thomas J, Rondeau, Canadian superior of the Order of St: Dominic, wrote an open | letter to the press to explain the "nuances" *f the contra- versy. "It is true that the magazine has been blamed for lack of care and of a certain objectiv- ity in its judgment on the church and church events," Father Rondez: wrote. "This is not new." A running dialogue was. car- ried on in letters-to-the-editor columns of newspapers, with a Protestant, Rey. Jacques Beau- don of the French-language St. Jean United Church in Mont- real, writing to Le Devoir to wonder if the "greater theolog- ical rigor" prescribed for Main- tenant by Father Rondeau "doesn't mean theological con- formity."

He dashed in and rescued a por- trait of Queen Victoria. His name was Sandford Fleming, and it was an auspicious start of a remarkable career, cer- tainly ranking with other Scot- tish-Canadians like Andrew Gra- ham Bell, and David Thompson. After completing his studies in engineering and surveying in Toronto, Fleming went on to become chief engincer of the Ontario Simcoe and Huron Rail- way. Then he was chosen to survey the route for a railway TIME TO RETIRE mn from Rivere du Loup, Quebec to Halifax, that was intended to be a link in a railway from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He be- came chief engineer of that In- tercolonial Railway, and then moved into the bigger job of chief engineer of the CPR, He surveyed the Kicking Horse, Ea- gle and Rogers' Pass routes through the Rockies and also the Yellowhead Pass, now used by the CNR. While engaging in all those im- portant activities Sandford Fleming became an expert on universal and cosmic time. Can- ada adopted his "standard time"' zones on November 18, 1883, and the following year his system was adopted around the world by an international conference in Washington, MANY FIELDS Like Alexander Graham Bell, Sir Sandford Fleming was ac- tive in many fields, Among his achievements was designing Canada's first postage stamp, the 3 penny Beaver.

For almost 50 years, the need for better research facilities for back-bench MP's has been talk- ed about, but it wasn't until re- cently that action was taken, A special committee on the re- organization of 'parliament re- commended 'financial support for the branch and parliament later approved its formation. To head it, an experienced British librarian, Philip Laundy, was appointed. He was librarian of the Rhodesian Legislative As- sembly for 14 years before com- ing to Canada. Co-author of a hook, The Encyclopedia of Par- liament, he has also written the most comprehensive work on the office of the Speaker. ONE FOR TEN The committee recommended the appointment of one research assistant for every 10 Senators and MP's. But it will be some time before a staff of this size is assembled and the branch presently has just under 10 peo- ple. As the demands for its ser- vices grow, Mr. Laundy expects to add more researchers, ab- stractors, indexers and secretar- ies. Basically, the branch will pre- pare statistical data and in- vestigate the pros and cons of any question referred to it. It will summarize press comment on public issues and provide notes for speeches, Parliamentary librarian Erik J. Spicer says that most Mem- bers of Parliament are not aware' of the services that are available to them and of the be provided by the new branch. branch. "There is a definite trend to- ward specialization public af- fairs and members must _be- come better informed on sub- jects which interest them," Mr. Spicer says. "The cabinet min- isters have many facilities avail- able to them through their own departments. To criticize gov- ernment effectively, opposition members must have equal sources of information." Mr. Laundy explains that his branch will not go as far as to actually write speeches for MP's. But it will provide them with fact sheets and summaries of the available information on any subject requested, "We will either provide both sides of the question or, if re- quested, will compile only the arguments for or against a cer- tain course of action," Mr. Laundy explains. '"'The amount of material we can provide will depend largely on how much time the member gives our branch to prepare it.'"' When the MP's return to Ot- tawa, Mr. Laundy will supple- ment written notices with a per- sonal visit to each member to explain what his branch can do to assist him. Provinces -- May Face wk New Policy By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--The question now is whether relations between the federal government at Ottawa and the provinces will continue as harmoniously as they have' for the last few years. Negotiations with the last Pearson government were ex- ceptionally good when compared to the often bitter squabblin which historically has marke: our federal-provincial relation- ship. : Also it was the most construc- tive period in the mutual deal- ings between the two areas of government, at least in this cen- tury. But now there has been the election and a new government. It comes out of a campaign in which it received consider- able criticism for bending too far to the provinces. And it was a campaign in which some of the PC premiers worked hard, and used hard punches, to defeat the old gov- ernment, This particularly ap- plies to Premier Stanfield of Nova Scotia, Will there be a hang - over from this campaign? Will there be.an instinctive residue of bit- terness in federal negotiators against the provinces? Will there be bad feeling among the: premiers themselves, notably by Robichaud and Smallwood against the Conservative lead-- ers? «-- And will the federal govern- ment, after the criticism it re- ceived and its subsequent elec- tion failure, tend to tighten up, to hatden in its bargaining? GORDON CORDIAL On top of the not too pleasant - prospects from the campaign there has been the resignation of Walter Gordon as finance minister. Mr. Gordon was a key man in most negotiations with the prov- inces, and he was a good ne- gotiator. 7 The premiers found him a- reasonable man with a fairly open mind. And their discus- sions with him were mainly on- a fairly cordial plane. It is doubtful if his successor will be as easy to get along with» as he was. Just what it will mean if rela-~ tions do worsen can't be said, of" course. But, it must be hoped> they don't go back to the old: days or wrangling and stale-° mate, ' In the last few years there has been very real progress in federal-provincial relations. For the first time there has been some attempt at recon- struction, The head has been taken off the engine and we have been trying to put it back in shape.
