L, Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1966 -- PAGE 4 It's In Interest Of Canada Tories Find Party Unity "The 'cloak of mystery, the sus- picion of backroom intrigue and manipulation" must be removed from Canadian politics, This opinion, certainly shared by many Canadians was given weight last week when it was expressed by Davie Fulton on the eve of the Conservative con- vention. "We have to open the windows of our political parties, let in the fresh air and the sunlight and make our parties what they should be in our second century. It is surely un- realistic to have our politicians talk- ing and thinking in a manner which has no reality for a whole new gen- eration," Mr. Fulton told a Cana-_ dian Club meeting in Montreal. His remarks proved pertinent current comment indeed, Almost simultaneously his leader was put- ting to practice the pattern of poli- ticking to which Mr. Fulton ob- jected, Mr. Diefenbaker's latest cam- paign "fighting the Grits" em- phasized it. But also of significance was the fact that his words have been noted conspicuously in the Tory stronghold of the Ottawa Journal, Backroom intrigue and manipu- Israel 'Color Most people would hope that the problem of racial origin, while it causes bitter divisions in many other parts of the world, would at least be avoided among the Jews of modern Israel. ° Unfortunately not, reports roving political correspondent Blair Fraser in the current issue of Maclean's Magazine. Fraser says Israel has what is referred to only half in jest as it's own "color problem." The problem is caused by emigra- tion of the Jews of European origin out of Israel. When the state was founded in 1948 a majority of the population was made up of Jews from European or North American countries. Only 80 percent were dark-skinned Jews from Middle Eastern countries.

There is right across Canada a serious disagreement. The out- come is fateful not only to the wel- fare of the Conservative Party but 45 Yn eee «a ts Canadian pouncs Sn ernment in general, It is true that many thinking Canadians will view the Tory meet- ing with apprehension as well as hope. The Pearson government re- mains far from popular and as long as the Censervatives continue their prolonged family feuding no suit- able alternative to the Liberals exists. It is surely evident that as long as Mr. Diefenbaker remains as leader the Conservatives will not be able to put forth the strong united party front required to play this role as alternative. Last week our American neigh- bors moved toward the restoration of a properly-functioning two-party system in their elections. This week Canadians of the Conservative party can take a similar step by putting their own house in order, walitioe Problem' Today the proportions are re- versed and the problem is being aggravated every year as more and more Middle Eastern Jews came into Israel and more European- descended Jews leave. This creates a social problem which Israeli government officials consider to be second only to the problems of defense. Most of the Middle Eastern Jews are adult illi- terates without the skills needed to consolidate the new state, "The European Jew has an edu- cational advantage not only in fact but in potential," one official ex- plained. "In Europe even the poorest Jews have made great sacrifices to give their children schooling. Orien- tal Jews haven't had that tradition."

The original LBJ consensus, formulated after he took over from his murdered predecessor almost three years ago, was a coalition of Republicans and Democrats, all backing Lyndon because, as he said, "I am the only President you've got'. The 1964 Goldwater Campaign changed all that. Faced with a weak and sometimes ludicrous opponent, LBJ demolished the Republican Party and dragged into office 38 new Democratic Congressmen, mostly bright men, but too dependent on their leader, Although he still wooed wily the Re- publican Leader in the Senate, Johnson began to rule more and more as a one-man show, He re- ferred to the Congress as 'my Congress" (which, according to the constitution it certainly is not) and he displayed an arro- gance which raised many hairs on many backs, He took over the Viet Nam War as his own, which in many ways, it is, and threatened the voters that if they didn't give his party a big majority they were somehow weakening America in the eyes of the communists, INEVITABLE HAPPENED Last Tuesday he got what was coming to him -- a decisive Re- publican win which restored the ailing two-party system and fractured the Conservative Democrats' stranglehold on the South. Democrats still hold major- ities in both Houses of Congress and in the State Governors' mansions, but the Republicans are now in tho position to pro- vide what their spokesman Richard Nivon calls "a loyal opposition". In most races, the American voters displayed a fund of good sense which this column has sometimes queried. The prevailing mood: was one of discontent -- with the way the Viet Nam War was going, the excesses of the Negro revo- lution and inflation in the econ omy. But the worst of the Demo- cratic "backlash" candidates-- George Mahoney, the incoherent racist who ran for Governor of Maryland, Jim Johnson, an old- time fire - eater who hoped to succeed retiring Democratic Governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus and Lester Maddox, a chicken-frier who chased Ne- groes with a pistol -- failed. Mahoney and Joinson lost to moderate Republicans. Maddox trailed his racist Republican opponent Howard "Bo" Callas way, and the result will be de- cided by the Georgia Legisla- ture, Being mainly Democrats and farmers, they'll probably pick Maddox, but he cannot say the people put him in the Gov- ernor's chair. Actor Ronald Reagan won the Governorship of California, a victory for the political cosme- ticians and the right - wingers, Ultra-Light Plane Only One In Land COURTENAY, B.C. (CP)-- "This aircraft is operating with- out a certificate of airworthi- ness,"' reads the warning on the side of Jerry Roy's airplane, That doesn't bother LAC Roy, a metal technician at RCAF Comox, or his family, Mrs, Roy and three boys, His ultra-light, all-metal air- craft, weighing only 670 pounds, may be the only one of its type in Canada. "We never thought it would get off the ground," said a. friend, nero: nt But because Reagan has never demonstrated any administra- tive ability, which doesn't mean he hasn't got any, the office may transform and elevate the man, Nelson Rockefeller, tireless campaigner and courageous Governor of New York came out from behind to beat lacks lustre Democrat Frank 0'Con- nor and win a third term, NEW POSITION After being mauled by Gold- water in 1964, Rocky announced he'd given up Presidential polis tics for good, but this win puts him back in the picture.

The Democrats have no cause for satisfaction, except possibly the loss of Mahoney, who would have been an embarrassment, Sen. Robert Kennedy made a tremendous showing in_ his cross-country campaigns which were supposed to help ailing Democrats. As it turned out, they didn't. All the men Bobby tried to help were beaten -- Gov. Pat Brown in California, Sen. Paul Douglas in Illinois, O'Connor in New York, and Sen. Edward Kennedy lost his man Endicott Peabody in Mas- sachusetts, which elected the first Negro Senator in 90 years, Republican Edward Brooke. This, incidentally, makes young Teddy the Senior Senator from Mass,, while Bobby is still the junior in New York. However, the Kennedys, as everybody realized, were really campaigning for themselves, and did well at that, Bobby never approved of O'Connor anyway. POOR TASTE Democrats did themselves an- other bit of no good by electing George Wallace's wife, Lurleen, Governor of Alabama. As George, the present Governor, made clear, Lurleen's place is in the kitchen of the mansion in Montgomery and he'll give the orders from the parlor. He plans to run for the Presidency on a third-party Dixiecrat tick+ et in 1968, Although these plans may have been set back by the disappearance of Wallace-think- ing men like Jim Johnson and Mahoney and. the deflating of Maddox, Republican gains in the South mean that if Wallace and his racists defect from the regular Democratic Party, the party won't have much left. The GOP planted Governors in Florida, and. Arkansas for the first time since reconstruc- tion, Georgia may not get a Republican, but it's the first time in 90 years the voters have chosen this way. The one bright thought for Lyndon Johnson is that he didn't swing his weight behind the prominent Democrats who lost. He did his campaigning in the far East, then "rested" in Texas, stomping around mak- ing speeches. The losers won't soon forgive him. An LBJ ap- pearance could conceivably have saved them, or so they think, The President obviously didn't think so, for his popular- ity is still down, His control of Oongress is weakened and his reputation as the master politi- cal wangler somewhat be- smirched,. There is no joy Johnson City, Texas, today in REPORT PREPARED Key Problems - Money, Land, Communication By GWYN KINSEY TORONTO (Special) -- The best and most useful tool forged by government to conserve our resources of soil and water, An autocratic body that grabs land with wilful abandon and makes playgrounds for big city people. These are the two extremes of opinion about conservation authorities, The truth, naturally, lies somewhere in between. The truth is always obscure, but at least a much clearer picture of the virtues, vices, hopes and fears of conserva- tion authorities, their -support- ers and critics, has been emerging over the past year as & result of hearings by a select committee of the Ontario Legis- lature, The committee on conserva- tion authorities has completed its public hearings after listen- ing to more than a hundred briefs. It is on the thorny job Of preparing its report, com- plete with recommendations, for the Legislature that starts next January, AUTHORITY CONCEPT The report. will undoubtedly confirm the conservation authority concept - community responsibility backed by the re- sources of senior governments, But if it is to be of any value, the report must go further, to eniarge and define the concept. The authorities have come a long way in 20 years. The Con- servation Authorities Act was passed in 1946, and three authorities, Etobicoke, Ausable and Ganaraska, were formed that year. They embraced 32 municipalities and covered an Evans tersely sums lems as 'Money, munication."

Now there are 34 authorities with 494 member municipalities spreading over more than 24,000 square miles. Twenty years ago an author- ity's reason for being seemed to be flood control and refores- tation, It was agreed that the working unit should be a water- shed, the area drained by a river and its tributaries. But even then men like Prof. A, F. Coventry were' preaching: "What river valley development means is the restoration and preservation of all the natural resources of the river valley, for they are all inseparable parts of a total balance and cannot be profitably managed piecemeal." Now authorities are involved in a great range of interests, from water storage to recrea- tion, from forest management to education. And as their in- terests have broadened, their problems have multiplied Committee chairman Arthur are the immediate and obvious ills. Questions asked of wit- nesses by Mr. Evans and some of his colleagues reveal an awareness of what could afflict the authorities in the near. future. Under existing conditions, the authorities can putter along, with a project here and an ex- propriation squabble there, Some of them will simply stag- nate, while the others will con- tinue to do good but slow work, Under conditions brought about by more imagination and energy on the part of munici- pal and provincial govern- ments, however, the. conserva- tion authorities could develop into one of the most effective instruments for enriching the material, cultural and social lives of the people of Ontario, ALL DEPENDENT Some of the committee mem- bers obviously see the possibili- ties, They recognize that a watershed is much more than a geographical fpature; it is also the upstream bog and the down- river subdivision, between the irreplaceable farmland and the shopping plaza, between the un- sodded gully and the thirsty factory, between the . stripped moraine and the depressed community, between the shaded of less is earth, this lands, this England."

Like many of the others, he used the United States as a base although Presi- dent Van Buren 'had ordered strict neutrality, Nelson under- stood the American weakness for belonging to secret societies and devised the Brotherhood of Hunters, which became a fore- runner of the Ku Klux Klan, The idea behind the Hunters was to gather military strength and financial support for the in- vasion of Canada. The basic areas were divided into regions, over which was a Grand Eagle. Othef officers were eagles, beavers, and snowshoes, each beaver commanding five snow- shoes. The Hunters caught on like wildfire and enlisted about 40,000 members including "cells" in Canada, There were about 3,000 Hunters in Montreal. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov 14, 10966... Nellie Bly, a reporter for the New York World, began a trip around the world 77 years ago today--in 1889-- in order to see whether the speed described in Jules Verne's novel Around the World in &0 Days could be realized. She completed the voyage in 72 days, six hours and 11 minutes. The first circumnavigation of the world by aircraft, by U.S. Army planes in 1924, took 351 hours of flying time over 175 days, The official record for a flight alone around the world, set- by Max Conrad of Miami in 1961, is eight days 18% hours, : 1878---6th Calvary Regi- ment (now 15th Armored Regiment, Duke of Con- naugihi's Hussars} formed at Montreal. 1896--Britain repealed a prohibition against motor cars on public highways. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916--British troops advanc- ing on Bapaume captured Beaucourt, taking 6,000 pris- oners in two days; the United States protested against deportation of Bel- gian civilians to Germany. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in 1941 -- the aircraf carrier HMS Ark Royal sank in the Mediterranean two days after being tor- pedoed, with the loss of only one life; the U.S. decided to lake and the asphalt desert. It was a realization of part of this unity of living that pro- duced the imaginative ARDA~ now a rural redevelopment -- program. But the conservation authority concept actually goes beyond ARDA, because it em- braces both urban and rural areas. The urban and rural areas are, in fact, inter-dependent and cannot be separated, They are integral parts of a whole. This fact is becoming ever more evident in reviews of local government. In his report of the Niagara Region local government review, for ex- ample, Dr. Henry B. Mayo notes the "largely fictitious dif- ference between, 'urban' and 'rural' municipal units." map ag ta a a ay ap, ig Rt Ri Re ena ev te its garrisons in ae. Tientsin and Pek- ng.

L, Mackenzie who was also in exile, The plan was to drive a wedge between Upper and Lower Canada by launching attacks from Detroit, Niagara Falls and Ogdensburg, N.Y. The raids from Detroit and Niagara Falls were only minor affairs, easily repulsed, but the Ogdens- burg force landed at Prescott, where there was a four-day bat- tle. The Hunters were led by a Polish immigrant, Von Schultz, who believed that Canadians wanted to be liberated 'from the tyranny of Britain." Most of the American volunteers had been sold the same idea and promised land in Canada, Von Schultz was a capable military leader and took over when Grand Eagle Birge proved to be a coward and stayed in UEEN'S PARK Thompson Resignation Rumored -- TORONTO--A rumor Pr. ently circulating widély ig that Liberal Leader Andrew Thomp- son will resign, Denied by party spokesmen, it robably ovginated because the beral leader has been away from his office for some time taking a rest on doctor's orders, But the rumor has started Pundits looking around for po- tential successors if and when Mr, Thompson does retire, When they take such a look, Robert Nixon usually . stands uppermost as a likely candidate to lead 'the Liberals, The 38-year-old member from Brant, wha van third ta Me, Thompson in the leadership con- vention, continues to be promi. nent in the party ranks at Queen's Park, LACKED DYNAMISM At the time he ran for the leadership, a group of Liberals felt the party needed a dynamic, dramatic showman at its helm. Their convention choice at the wire fell between Mr. Thompson and Charles Templeton, In this type of contest the more solid qualities of Mr Nixon didn't win the appreciation they deserved, Now, a few scant years later, delegates at a leadership con- vention give Mr, Nixon's qual- ifications far more consider- ation.

Watchful, Cautious Pact Renewed By Egypt, Syria By CARL MOLLINS Canadian Press Staff Writer The renewal of official friend- ship between Syria and Egypt, through agreement for mutual defence and co-operation, is bound to be a watchful, cautious relationship, The joint pledge in Cairo to make the two Arab states 'a single force' in furtherance of common aims has been greeted calmly by foreign dip- lomats and by Israeli officials atuned to catch any threaten- ing shift in Arab policies. Paradoxically, the agreement between President Nasser of Egypt and Syrian Premier Youssef Zayyen -- seconded verbally, though not formally, in a radio pronouncement by Iraq's President Abdel Rahman Aref--emphasizes the repeated failure of the Arab countries to develop a united military and 18 A PAPER FACT The new pact recalls a 1955 defence alliance between Egypt and Syria, which led to political union as the United Arab Re- public in 1958, But that union collapsed in 1961, The new de- fence agreement likewise shows that the United Arab Command, embracing Egypt, Syria and Iraq, is merely a. paper pact. Nasser, who never has previ+ ously shown much sympathy for the radical Baath. Socialists governing Syria, is certain to tread carefully lest his official friends in Damascus drag him into unwanted political or mili- tary entanglements. The Zayyen regime, which came to power in a coup nine months ago and has been threatened by counter - revolu- tion, officially encourages Arab commando raids against Israel and is recruiting a people's army to recover Palestine by guerrilia action. Despite the new defence agreement, Egypt is unlikely to be drawn into any fight started by Syria. Nasser may even act to restrain Syria, through an al- liance pointedly described in FIND TRUE MERMAID The manatee, thought to be the origin of the mermaid leg- end, is a water-dwelling mam- mal 15 feet long and weighing a ton. BP ee I Th Re Re I Be Re Re Cairo as a protective defence pact, OTHER PROBLEMS Nasser, who is on record as saying the time is not ripe for the promised Arab recovery of Palestine, is preoccupied else- where. Egypt has been seeking post- ponement of debt payments in the face of a foreign exchange shortage. Creditors are unlikely to be sympathetic to a govern: ment that expands military commitments on the Israeli frontier. The United States has reduced Egyptian aid trickle, partly because of objec: tions to the Yemen involve- ment. On the surface, Egypt has little to gain from entering into an alliance that will lend pres- iige and perhaps siabiiity to the shaky Syrian regime. Some Western diplomats -be- Neve Russia, a stalwart sup- porter of the Zayyen govern- ment, persuaded Nasser to give the Syrians at least a superfi- cial boost in return for contin- ued Soviet economic assistance, phere of politics. His father, the late former premier H. C. Nixon, spent his life in public service, STARTED A PRO The day he entered the house, Bob Nixon was a pro. His knowledge of provincial public affairs is invaluable, He has been actively involved in both education and agriculture, And he has a good working knowl- edge of the other areas of pro- vinclal concern. In addition he has a good presence, though slanted a bit towards rural appeal, and can handle himself wel! on his feet and can apply himself intelii- gently, His main drawback would be a lack of force and fire; not enough invectiveness to fight through to the end, He is, perhaps, a bit too much of the nice guy. Few nice guys, it seems, make good leaders. But let him toughen up just a bit; perhaps vent his cniteme outwardly at what !s happening to his party, Then, and only then, is he likely to win a leadership con- vention, YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO November 14, 1951 Mr. Harry Millen has been elected president of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club for the forthcom: ing year.
