She Oshawa paar Sr S Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Canada's Contributions Represent But Pittance The domestic problems of our country -- of which we seem to have a full quota -- have occupied Cana- dians practically to the exclusion of international involvement in recent months. In. public discussion, con- sideration of our role abroad has been largely limited to whether we should or shouldn't hew the Ameri- can line and where we might neftt be sending troops. : The fact that Canada can play a much more influential role in main- taining the peace, one that has noth- ing whatsoever to so with our arm- ed forces has been' overshadowed. It takes the words of such a long-time and penetrating student of Cana- dian affairs as Bruce Hutchison to snap our position back to true focus, The eminent. Canadian writer charges 'Canadians are citizens of the most self-centred, smug nation in the world! Criticizing Canada for not giving enough in foreign aid to underdeveloped countries, he says "much of the economies and politics of Canada is governed by a very soft attitude to our international respon- sibilities ... Ithink we have been doing very poorly in recent years in relation to what we should be doing. selves. I think we are being very, What we have to do is justify ofir- very selfish." Mr. Hutchison's criticism of Can- ada's foreign aid program as the smallest response of all the affluent nations is echoed by Professor Gere ald Helleiner of the economics de- partment of the University. of Tor- onto: "We are not doing enough relative to Britain and France, coun- tries we should compare ourselves in regarding foreign aid. This is the decade of development and we are not even. beginning to meet aid re- quirements now, not°*to mention the years ahead", The "have-not" countries of the world present a priority challenge today. Indifferenee to their plight has heen shown to flare in violence. For a resources-rich country such as Canada something less than one per cent of a national income for foreign aid seems a pitiful pittance. In- creased contributions abroad repre- sent not just a humanitarian propo- sal but a highly practical approach. It makes much more sense for Canada to work to close the econo- mic gap between the "haves" and the have nots" than it does to be constantly contributing forces and finances after trouble erupts. What's 'Whip Worth? What would be a fair fee for the men who crack the whip in the House of Commons during the com- ing contentious session? The minor- ity position of the Liberal govern- ment and the avowed intention of Conservative Leader John Diefen- baker to try to bring it down will make every Commons' vote a crucial pne. ---- The Whips are the. emn appoint- td by their parties to "ride herd" on the attendance of their colleay In parliament and to make sure they're present for each division.

They also held the positions in the last parliament. For marshalling the forces of their parties, they receive $4,000 above the $18,000 they are paid as mem- bers of parliament. They are pro- vided with larger offices and addi- tional clerical staff. The extra re- muneration and assistance was granted several years ago with the recognition that the whips served as officers of the House of Commons. What« pinion may be of such spending of tax money, the finan- cial return likely to be granted to the man who rules the house, the Speaker of the Commons, makes it seem pretty small potatoes. The man expected to be cast in the arduous role is Lucien Lamoureux, the dep- uty last session. In addition to his income as a member of parliament, he will receive $9,000 as speaker, $6,000 in lieu of an official residence and $2,000 in car allowance. In total, a tidy sum of $35,000 annually. As far as the Whips are concern- ed, Conservative Winkler has told The Times the money-is-not-a great inducement as the extra work and lonnger hours more than offset the comparatively minor salary advan- tage in the higher tax brackets, The game may probably be said of Mr. Speaker's stipend. When so much time is spent to- day negotiating equitable salaries outside government, it would make interesting reading to see how allot- ments such as these are decided. Certainly if some members are valued at $18,000, half as much again is due the Speaker. But what is the scale of pay and increments? FREEZING OF. WAGES, PRICES.

"I wasn't elected, I was pushed in," says Nelson de- Oliveira, with a_ frankness found in few public officials anywhere. 'The mayor was "pushed" into office when Brazil's 1964 revolution swept out the leftist government of Joao Goulart. De Oliveira is typical of hun- dreds of civic and state offi- cials who were appointed to their jobs suddenly when the rightist military group in power purged Communists and sus- pected Communists from gov- ernment at all levels. Several thousand officials lost their political rights in the purge, and some are still await- ing trial in Brazilian jails. Although the mayor doesn't like his "caretaker" job, he says he has to put up. with it until new elections are called. "1 don't like the political side of this at all. Everybody is always coming to me to ask for political favors. Whenever I make an appointment, politics always has te-come into it." A civil engineer and cocoa farmer before the revolution, the mayor has little time. for these occupations now. His town, the capital of the sugar- growing state of Bahia, is full of urgent problems waiting to be solved POVERTY PLAGUES AREA Like most of this part of Bra- zil, the northeast, Salvador (pop. 730,000) is plagued dy chronic unemployment, lack of housing and desperate poverty.

He says red tape keeps as- sistance furnished by the multi- million-dollar U.S. co-operation scheme from filtering down to Salvador. The town was founded by the Portuguese in 1549 and was the first capital of Brazil. With its winding cobblestone streets and steep hills, it is similar in at- mosphere to Canada's Quebec City--although climate and liv- ing conditions are vastly dif- ferent Like Quebec, Salvador is a seaport' with an upper town and a lower town, linked by a long elevator which clangs up and down 24 hours a day. LURES TOURISTS m And, like Quebec, Salvad@ is popular with tourists. They flock here from Argentina and southern Brazil, especially in the scorching South American summer from December to March, The-town-is on the At- lantic coast and catches the cooling trade winds. There are good hotels, a fine native market where some of Brazil's best native wood carv- ings and handicrafts can be found, and quaint little restau- rants serving peppery Bahian food, said by the natives to be the best in all Brazil. Fried shrimp patties and fresh coconut can be bought from sturdy Bahian women who set up braziers on the street corners and cook outdoors all day. While he is concerned about Salvador's present problems, Mayor de Oliveira is optimis- tic about the future. "We have lots of civic construction going on now, and there has been a 10- to 15-per-cent increase in the number of tourists this last summer." As for his own future, he just shrugs and says he hopes elections will be held 'in 1967 Then he'll probably go back to his cocoa farm, BIBLE And after Abimelech arose to defend Israel --Judges 10:1. there Tola.

FAR-REACHING BACKYARD... _ MODELS OF NOMAD DOMESTICITY 21 Days, Long Time In Hinterland 'Home' fre like pieces of a substance that ARASHANT, Mongolia (CP)-- Baldan Czaicha, a sturdy herds- man with the teok of the out- doors in. his bronze features, heard a car approaching his tent-like home and stepped out- side. into the fields His squat little abode, called a yurt, is located on rangeland between high hills a mile from this tiny railroad settlement 30 miles north of Ulan Bator, the Mongolian capital. Having received his un- expected -- and uninvited -- guests, Baldan took us inside and proceeded. to satisfy our curiosity about the life of a semi-nomad whose Lackyard is the far-reaching fields where his cattle graze. "We spend three to four months in the mountains in the summer and the rest of the year here," "he said through an. in terpreter. "The spot we go to is 15 kilometres (about 10 miles) from here." The other half of the '"'we"' is his wife, Gelge Dulma, a hand- some, strong - featured woman with crimson cheeks Having been-inteoduced to the visitors immediately donned a neat slue Mongolian her working dress and offered re- she robe over shments --- bread and rock- which tasted like buttermilk Compared with some herds- men in this vast, under-popu- lated land--which has 23 times as many head of livestock as people--Baldan and his wife are models of settled domesticity.

Mae donald said publically in 1865 that the prairies were of little present value to Canada, he had to change his mind in a hurry. In 1869 Ottawa got secret in- formation that the U.S.A. was planning to take over the, ter- ritory. The U.S. Treasury Depart- ment had offered the Hudson's Bay Company $5,000,000 for **Rupert's Land." The agent who made the proposal said "I know President Grant is anxious to have a treaty with England which transers the country be- tween Minnesota and Alaska to in settlement of the "Alabama" controversy, and as consideration for establishing reciprocal trade with Canada." A report by a special com- mittee of the U.S. Senate said: "The opening by us of a North- ern Pacific Railroad seals the destiny of British possessions west of longitude 90. The area will become so American in interest and feeling, it will be severed from the new Dominion and the question of annexation will be but a matter of time." SECRET COPIES When the secret copies of these documents were received the U.S Discreet Boost To Exports Given By Royal Visit to U.S. WASHINGTON (CP) -- Prin- cess Margaret has given 'a dis- creet boost to Britain's export drive in the United States dur- ing her 20-day visit just ended. Her tour was one long exhibit of British fashions--often sev- eral new costumes a day--with local British officials standing by with the details. "Tt wasn't her idea one of them. "But siderable pressure from some advisers, eventually, reluctan- tly and against her better judg- ment, she agreed." While the tour which began Nov. 4 at San Francisco was a private one, it tied in with pub- licity for British haute couture and less-expensive products. The princess couldn't please all critics. Women's Wear Daily, New York garment industry publication, described her ward- robe as "'too old and too ma- tronly," said her skirts were "a bit too long," accessories "too and high heels too high. it also criticized her hats, but royalty generally is confined to off-the-face models that give the public an uncluttered view. Despite the criticism, it is conceded that the petite prin- cess wears clothes well and many were impressed with her apparel. Not,that British officials re- gard Fashions as the single an- " confided under con- task of earning abroad. But it swer to the more dollars helps. Prince Philip, who is due in the U.S. in March, is expected to add promotion material in other fields. In the past, he has been an outspoken adviser-- welcome or not--to British in- dustry as a whole. British air- craft are a likely beneficiary from-that visit. Britain has other plans well in hand for. driving for more dollars in the U.S. and there are encouraging signs of pro- gress. i There will- be tours by one of those perambulating London double-decker buses, a troop of London bobbies and copies of the Crown jewels. A constant feature of Prin- cess Margaret's goings and comings here was a big black Rolls-Royce limousine, visible to millions' via the extensive television 'Coverage that the princess, her clothes and her car received, For the first nine months of this year, British exports to the U.S. are up by 16 per cent over the comparable period of 1964 and total about $955,000,000. Britain stands third -- behind Canada and Japan--with West Germany a close fourth. For September alone, British exports were up 21 per cent. Technology Forces Farmers To Abandon Lone-Wolf Attitude WASHINGTON .(AP) -- U.S. farmers are learning that if they are to survive in this age of fast-moving technology and keen business skills they must abandon the "lone-wolf" atti- tude that long has marked Am- erican agriculture. This awareness that growers must abandon extreme self-reli- ance.and join hands with neigh- bors to strengthen their position in today's competitive economic system is being demonstrated by the farm co-operative move- ment. A farmer co-operative is a business enterprise organized, owned. and controlled by farmer'- members who have joined together to provide them- selves with bargaining power in the marketing and process- ing of their products, as well as in the purchase of supplies and service. While farm .co operatives U.S. for more then 40 years, it is onty in recent years that they have begun to make a major imprint on the farm production and marketing scene. The great bulk of U.S. farm- ers belong to one or more co- operatives. This is an important accomplishment from the stand- point of those leaders who' have been preaching for years that the individual farmer cannot go it alone. But recognition that there must be a joining. of hands" is showing up further in moves be- ing made by co-operatives to join with one anothet to help strengthen the position @f the in- dividual co-operative, In this connection, the U.S. agriculture department's farmer co-operative service re- ports' that more than three- fourths of the 7,876 local farmer have been in existence in the co - operatives were affiliated with or members of one or more regional co-operatives last year. Furthermore, almost three-fifths of the 755. regional co-operatives were members of at least ope olher regional co- operative. in Ottawa the government took fast action. It offered the Hud- son's Bay Company~ $1,500,000 plus fur trading rights for the area. Without waiting for the company to accept the deal, the government created the North West Territory out of Rupert's Land to be administered by a lieutenant governor and council. Red River settlement was chosen as the place where the official transer would be made on December 1, 1869. Haste in making the deal was largely responsible for the Riel uprising.

Premier -- «On Holiday ~ In Britain By DON O'HEARN TORONTO---Premier Robarta fs on a visit to the U.K. And though it is said his trip is a - vacation it probably can be as- sumed the premier is doing a bit of business on the side. It has been reported, of course, that the premier will be making two speeches and an appearance on Scottish televis- ion while on his two week trip. But you suspect there may be something more than this to his travels. However, there hasn't been a hint here of any top-level nego- tiation in progress. On his last trip to Britain a few years ago the premier did meet with some manufacturers to discuss the possibility of them establishing in the province: There could be something else along the same line this time. Only time will tell, If something top-level is un- der way it is also top secret. There was no word in advance, even the usual hints, about the trip itself. It came as a surprise to most people. It could be, of course, that what is said is right: Mr. and Mrs. Robarts may be just tak-- ing a holiday If he were going on a holiday, the U.K. is the locale the pres mier would probably pick first. Our first citizen has a great fondness for the British Isles, acquired during the war when most of his five years service as an RCN officer was spent with the Royal Navy. Some here feel that while he is away the premier will be give ing thought to cabinet changes, A vacation is a logical time for leaders of governments to plan reorganizations. They have the distance to take an object- ive view and the time to reflect on them. Mr. Robarts undoubtedly will be having some thoughts along this line. But it -will, be a while before we know the re- sults of them. Prior to leaving on his trip the premier said he didn't ex-. pect to make. any cabinet switches" before the session, This should mean there won't be changes until next summer, when 'the session has wound p. ' It also means provincial treasurer James Allan will be Staying on. And this in turn is good news for those of us who respect Mr. Alan and the de- voted public service he, has given. TODAY IN. HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dec. 1, 1965... The Beveridge Report, a white paper on social wel- fare commissioned by the British wartime govern- ment, was published 23 years ago today--in 1942-- and laid the foundations for the modern welfare state in Britain. Its author was Wil- liam Beveridge, an econ- omist-and. later -a Liberal peer.
