Vote It is not surprising that there continues to be considerable con- fusion, and even contradiction, in the interpretation being offered of the outcome of Quebec election, since the outcome itself came as a surprise to most persons outside the province and many within it, What can be unfortunate, The Welland Tribune points out, is the extent to which at least some aspects of the results have become subject to complete misinter- pretation. As one example, an edi- torial] in the New York Times on Tuesday said: "An interesting fea- ture of this extremely close election was that two separatists were elect- ed to the 108-seat Legislative As- sembly". The Times must have concluded that the two siiccessful candidates who described themselves as "inde- pendent" also belonged automatical- ly in the camp of separatism, al- though that isn't true of either of them. Indeed, one of them (Frank Hanley -- Montreal Ste Anne) al- ready has announced that he will support the Union Nationale; while the other, Arthur Seguin (Robert Baldwin) has indicated that con- siderable of his support will be given to the Liberals, Although it is not hard to explain these things, nor to understand the mistake by the Times, it could be a bad thing if that mistake is at all typical of American reaction, and if any widespread impression has become established in the U.S, that separatism has gained a toehold in the Quebec legislature. At this time when the situation in Quebec is becoming subject to a large change, the last thing that could be desired would be to have exaggerated importance given to whatever separatist strength exists there, Certainly no candidate who advyo- cated separatism came close to election. In the meantime, it isn't only in the U.S, that misinterpretation of the Quebec election result is pre- senting some peril, Cartoons have appeared in Canadian metropolitan papers showing Mr. Johnson glee- fully chopping down the Canadian flag, and returning to all that was undesirable in the political methods and standards of Maurice Duplessis, who dominated the Union Na- tionale. As The Tribune states these can scarcely be regarded as contributions to healthy .under- standing, Expo Price Protection The exploits of Expo as the show- piece of our centennial celebratio next year have been well oublicized" But our readers may be interested in the latest figures released, which indicate that the big show will at- tract 10 million people, Almost half will be' from the United States, and 800,000 are expected to come from Europe. Tourist spending will in- crease $400 million in 1967 and foreign exhibitors will spend another $200 million. These are staggering figures and of course we have no means of She Oshawa Times T, L.

Theré will be some 25,000 hotel rooms available in Montreal-- obviously far fewer than needed, So the planners have convinced a large number of apartment owners io run their-apartments as hotels for six months. This way they have added another 10,000 rooms, many of which will offer cleaning and meal service, In July. . they begin a campaign to convince home owners to' make rooms available. And the Quebec government has agreed to build an additional 20,- 000 to 80,000 camp and _ trailer sites. All told, Expo officials expect to have accommodation for 200,000 people a day within a 50-mile radius of the city.

Decoration," the Jong-service ,meda! awarded for what the sergeants' mess calls "undetected crime," Having no medals ourselyes--- although the Pearson govern- ment is Jaying..that egg for hatching July next year -- we act like dogs-in-the-manger and proh'bit Canadians from accept- ing similar awards offered to them by any foreign country for distinguished services For instance, it has long stuck in my craw that the honorary consul in Quebec City for a friendly maritime nation---a Ca- nadian working and even spend- ing money on behalf of a for eign country--was compelled by our government not to accept the decoration which is the cus- tomary award from that coun- iry--as from most others--for his many years of upaid serv- ice, It say he was "compelled" ~-by decree and dictatorial ed jet, for there is no law to that effect LESAGE, GREK KNIGHT But when Quebec's premier, Jear. lesage, was offered by the king of Greece that coun try's highest honor-the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of the Phoenix--he was too big for Ot- tawa to pressure, Mr, Lesage commented 'because this dee- oration was hestowed upon me by a king, and not by a gov- ernment, | felt it my duty to accept it," That 's one argu- ment, even though far out; but why one permissiveness for a French-Canadian premiér and a lesser permissiveness for an English-speaking Joe? Hon, Paul Martin, our for- eign minister, told Ralph Cowan that 'foreign decorations should not (note that 'should not' there is no jaw to forbid it nor penalty to punish it) be ac. cepted by Canadian without the permission of our govern- ment, and it has heen Cana dian policy for many years to Feige such perma = the award is being offered in connection with the saving of human life," ' DITHER AND INSULTS There must be a lot of life savers in our Senate, Raiph Cowan listed some of these in nie tere a speech to the House of Com? mons, Flowering like weeds upon the proud breasts of sena- lors--and of judges, and even of ambassadors --- there are French Legions of Honor, Pa- pal knighthoods, Belgian Or- ders of Leopold, Dutch Orange Nassaus and Grenian Phoen- ixes, Paul Martin personally announced recently that Cana- da's ambassador to Switzerland had been made a Knight of the legion of Honor by the presi- dent of France, Whose life did he save, toiling away at diplo- matie cocktail parties, or what- ever? | don't criticize the award of any deserved decora- tior, domestic or foreign, but I do criticize Paul Martin's incon- sistency in this matter Hon, Jean SAarchand pulled the rug from under Paul's feet, by writing to Ralph Cowan "The Canadian Citizenship Act does not provide for Joss of citizenship when Canadians are honored by other countries,"' In other words, Canadians can ac- cept any proferred foreign honor, and cock a snook at our government Thus, Mr. Martin tells Cana- dians they may not accept for- eign decorations, while publicly announcing some who have; and Mr. Marchand admits there is no legal reason why Cana- dians may not accept such dee- orations. In fact, as | learned by talking to anothe cabinet minister, forei.n governments are just asked not t 'honor' us miserable un + honor-worthy peasants; but some foreign gov- ernments are wise enough to ignore that request, And there have been nasty episodes, such as when the president of a friendly nation, which has sent many admirable immigrants to Canada, arrived here on a state visit, He brought a little case of awards, intended fo the Governor-General, the prime minister, and distin- guished sons of his country, But he was Meruptly told in Ottawa to "pack up that bauble, and take it back whence it came." Ralph Cowan is rightly show ns up this government stupid- ty Diamond Fever Disrupts Life In African Republic BANGUI (AP) Diamond fever has come to the Central African Republic, and the lucky prospectors have beer bottles to show for it The Central African Republic formerly part of French Equa torial Africa, just north of The Congo, is one of the world's poorest and 'least "developed areas, Now it is in the grip of a diamond rush that has dis rupted normal life in large areas. Tens of thousands of pea- sants have left their homes stopped growing food, and aban doned their coffee and cotton plantations to burrow into the gravel of river beds, hoping for a diamond bonanza Thousands more have drified in from as far away as Mauri tania, Mali or Libya to dig or join the army of traders and middlemen profiting from the sudiien wealth The heart of the diamond fever is at Carnot, a once peace ful jungle village 200 miles west of Bangui, the capital, The frenzy is spreading to other areas, particularly a virgin for- est region along the Sudanese border, The diamond rush began in a big way two years ago, when the government abandoned an altempt to keep the gem trade trade under state control EXPORTS BOOM French, American and Israeli companies were authorized to set-up--purchasing offices. The country's diamond exports have multiplied tenfold since 1961 and last year exceeded $14,000,000, almost half the total export trade. In addition, millions of dollars worth of diamonds are believed to be exported illegally to escape an Il-per-cent export lax Ina country where more than 95 per cent of the population is illiterate and lives in primitive mud-brick huts far from any contact with urban civilization, the white man's eagerness for the transparent pebbles has cre- ated a new aristocracy; Beer bottle owners The diggers reneived only a small proportion of the value of their finds, But it is enough to make many rich by African standards, and much of their wealth goes on beer, NEW ZEALAND WHITE PAPER ISOLATIONISM REJECTED Complete Integration Of Forces Queried By J. C. GRAHAM Camadian Press Correspondent WELLINGTON (CP) -- New Zealand has decided against es. tablishing a unified defence force combining all three serv- ices on the Canadian model. The Canadian system has been stud- led by senior Negr Zealand de- fence officials in recent years and at one time it was thought that aspects of it would be adopted here For several years, New Zea- land has moved toward integra- tion of some functions of the forces, especially for civilian staff and supply. However, a while paper just issued covering defence policy up to 1970 explains why com plete integration is not favored Tt said iy Examination has led the government to conclude. that such a combined force would not make sense in terms of our principal aim, !o gain maxi mum effect from the level! of contribution which New Zealand can make "The force of this type which New Zealand could afford to maintain in peacetime would never be large enough to give a truly independent role in lim- ited war.

" BASED ON POLICY The white paper says plan- ning is based on the assump tion that New Zealand wil! con- tinue to reject neutralism or isolationism as a basis of na- tional policy Changes in the world scene have been to New Zealand's dis- advantage, the review says, 'Two of the most dangerous situations in the world today, in.

Four such frigates will be maintained Army--A ground contribution to Allied forces in Southeast Asia will be maintained (at present an infantry battalion and paratroop detachment are in. Malaysia and an artillery battery is in Viet Nam), A field force consisting of a combat brigade group and logistic sup port will he available in New Zealand as a contribution toe major hostilities in Southeast ex-regulars gvill be set up for rapid reinforcement of units in emergency, Alr force--The primary com> hat role will be close air support operations (ground altack), Ex- isting Canberra bombers will be replaced by 1970 by new air- craft now being evaluated. The other air force roles will be replaced by 1970 by new air- craft now being evaluated. The other air force roles will be transport and maritime surveil- lance and anti-submarine oper+ ations. C-190 Hercules aircraft have been sought for transport hacking for forces deployed in Southeast Asia. Five Orion maritime aircraft have been or- dered for anti-submarine work and helicopters are also on or- der or in service The government estimates the cost of implementing its pro- gram will mean a defence bud get for 1986-67 of $144,000,000. an increase of $23,000,000 on the previous year and more than double the expenditure in 1961-62 THEY'RE ALL MAKING COMEBACKS pvt mon CANADA'S STORY ttn Fast Rebuilding Job By BOB BOWMAN One of the fastest rebuilding jobs in Canada must have been in Vancouver in 1886 even with- out present-day machinery and transportation facilities, The newly incorporated city was wiped out by fire on Sunday afternoon, June 13, and by three o'clock Monday morning teams of horses were bringing in lum- ber for new buildings, The city tent al. the of what is now Carrall and directed the work One of their first moves was to obtain Vancou- ver's first loan, for the pur- chase of a fire engine!

The Yukon Territory was established 60 years ago to- day ---in 1808 -- two years after the Klondike gold dis- covery, The area had first been explored in 1842 by a Hudson's Bay Company agent and prospectors pushed north along the Liard River in the 1870s, Gold in, the Klondike brought in enough popula: tion for the Yukon Territory to be set up, and self-gov- ernment named a few years later, Dawson, with 25,000 people in the gold - rush days, now has fewer than 1,000 residents, and White horse, the territory capital, about 5,000 1502 -- Columbus discov. ered Martinique 1916--The Montreal Her- ald building burned down, killing 33 people.

The fires got out of con- trol, and the entire area was destroyed within an hour, The new residential area was the first to go, Only Hastings Mill and a few small buildings were saved Although if was a terrible blow, young George Keefer was not blamed for the mishap and lived to see the development of Canada's third largest city, OTHER EVENTS ON JUNE 13 1611--Champlain met Etienne Brule with Hurons.

Charles Templeton, former evangelist and newspaper man with erstwhile political ambi- tions was reported to have heen critical on a radio show here of the drinking habits in the legislature. The crusader apparently said that members go out for din- ner, mainly liquer, and then come back and are boorish and fall asleep, : The picture is of a somewhat off night at Clancy's saloon.

For a would - be - political leader he has shown a strange indifference to the actual arena of government. He has been a very oeva- sional--and that probably is too strong a wod--visitor to the chamber here, If he knows anything sbout booze among the backbenchers it has been breathe4 to him by others The house here breaks off for two hours before evening ses- sions, Most members go out for dinner, and many probably have a drink with their dinner--just the same as when advertising men and lawyers, truck drive , ers and carpenters go for lunch they have a drink or a beer, DON'T FALL ASLEEP But to say they come back to the house loaded, falling asleep or boisterous just isn't so, From time to time some of them come back feeling a bit gay or slightly snarky. And good for them. For they contribute a bit of life to this most often dull business of do- ing the people's business. As for falling asleep. Well re- porters are apt to fall asleep in their gallery or In thelr offices, The tedium is a great soporific, Perhaps the occasional mem- ber nods, But this is not ace countable to alcohol, unless you happen to think booze is the cause of all ein. In fact we once had @ fa- mous sleeping case here, This member fell asleep, And in the middie of the afternoon, And he fell into the alsle, And it happened he didn't drink, YEARS AGO 18 YEARS AGO June 13, 1951 Endorsation for Premier Frost's proposed _ tri-govern- ment, low-rent housing .plan was given by Mayor Michael Starr; but His Worship thought the proposed monthly rent of $65. was too high for Oshawa.
