-- She Oshawa Cimes on ea e% =¢ 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1967 Canadian Space Project 'Way-Out Suggestion Literally a "way-out" suggestion from New Democratic Party Leader Douglas last week found the Prime ' Minister in general agreement. Mr. Douglas urged the government to act quickly to reserve space for com- munication satellites. Mr. Pearson replied that the matter was urgent and that the science council had been asked to report to cabinet on it. The science council has expressed strong views on the subject. It states that Canada requires space satellites for domestic communnca- tions and that there is a risk that unless Ottawa moves now the coun- try may lose control of our satellite communications system to the Unit- ed States. That's as quick a way as possible at the present time for the scien- tists to put a burr under Canada's nationalistic saddle. It has already stirred some editorial writers to con- clude that national interest de- mands that Canada not only build space vehicles but also provide means of launching them as well. However, before Ottawa begins the count-down for any such nation- alistic spree, the dimensions of such a program must be minutely con- sidered. Certainly Canada must have a means of controlling means of domestic communication but we cannot afford to let the search for such means launch us into the space race. The Christian Science Monitor noted recently that any space pro- gram, if it is to be meaningful and efficient is immensely expensive, This is the reason only a handful of richer Jands have felt able to enter such a program. No country of Can- ada's size can yet be said to have set forth a program likely to pro- duce results comparable to those of the U.S. or Russia. Even if a small- er nation did seek to build its own system such a system would run the continual risk of being out- moded by the developments of larger nations. In many fields Canada has ach- feved influence far beyond the scope of a middle power. However it is recognized today that some areas of modern development must be left to the very rich and the very large. Space development is definitely one of them. Concern Not Enough Public concern about the increase in crime in both Canada and the United States is reported to be growing. And with good reason. Crime continues to increase at a rate that is greater than the rate of population increase. : Yet a significant point has been made by The Welland Tribune. It is that public concern is not auto- matically an asset unless it forces a change in the view that the effort to reduce crime is somebody else's responsibility, not our own.

The crimes that are increasing most rapidly are those which the individual citizen can do most about: put a better lock on the door; don't allow milk bottles and news- papers to pile up while away; re- move the ignition key from your ear and lock the doors; don't carry large sums of cash and don't leave things lying around in your car or home. These are ways to reduce the opportunities for crime -- and will reduce the amount of crime. Young people commit a higher proportion of crime than any other age group. Most criminal careers are begun in youth and therefore are either fostered or not prevented in the home, This means that par- ents are neglecting their children -or are not providing either proper teaching or proper examples and are relying on community institu- tions, usually the school and the church to exert an influence which will never be adequate unless matched in the home. Individual concern should also in- clude interest in, and support of, measures to improve the police, the courts and systems of correction. ner mat T nme tn THREE - CHOICE REFERENDUMS OTTAWA REPORT Hamilton Evolves Practical Visions By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- "Dynamic na- tionalism" {is the short title of the economic policy being advo- cated by Conservative leader- ship candidate Alvin Hamilton, It seeks a similar, but maybe more prosperous, end than that aimed at by Walter Gordon, and it is designed to attain that end by less restrictive measures than Mr. Gordon advocates. The former Conservative min- ister of natural resources has long been remarkable on Par- liament Hill for his imaginative and unfettered vision of Can- ada's great potential future. Al- vin conceived the attractive 'Vision of Northern Develop- ment"' of the early Diefenbaker years. Alvin envisaged the growth of Canada's second great socio-industrial complex-- the first, stretching from Mont- real to beyond Toronto, being nearly full; and this he places running north - west from Ed- monton"and eventually support- ing 100,000,000 Canadians in a high living standard. Alvin pro- nounced the concept that Can- ada should sell surplus water to USA not for dollars but for an undertaking that we should share equally in the economic growth resulting from the utiliz- ation of that water. THE THINKING MAN'S MP In short, Alvin Hamilton con- sistently and creatively evolves big but practical visions. Just as earlier superificial judgments dismissed him as a_hayseed from Qu'Appelle, so today shal- low verdicts assess him as a visionary who haphazardly sparks off ideas with the in- genuity of a_ science fiction writer. But in fact Alvin is a thinker, a slow ponderer and wide reader rather than a sparkling cerebral short-circuit. He evolves, explores, criticises, weighs and thoroughly digests an idea; and only when he sees its future validity and. broad Canadian adaptability does he pronounce it. So one can trust his words when he startlingly proclaims, as he did to me: "Dynamic na- tionalism is a vital guideline for our economic prosperity and , political independence. If we adopt these principles, we can Soviet Strives develop within two decades a living standard higher than that in the resource-bereft U.S. The characteristic of the Canadian people to save is at a higher level than anywhere else. We could soon afford to export capi- tal, with wise use of those sav- ings. It is a red herring to talk now of 'buying Canada back.' We don't need to worry today about the ownership of busi- nesses well established but pay- ing only 3 or 4 per cent on their share prices; we should direct our newly formed capital into prudent resource development, where returns as high as 20 per cent are not unusual in suc- cessful ventures. We could pick up General Motors later on." OUTWARD LOOKING TRADE It would be just as crazy for Canada to wall herself in with trade and monetary restrictions against the U.S, as it would be for Quebec to wall herself in against the rest of Canada, he told me. "We believe that any tariff or trade agreement that is good for Canada should be entered into,"' said the man whose vision created for Canada's farmers the huge Communist markets for our previously unsold and even ungrown wheat. "We mapped out this policy in party caucus; we are 90 per cent sold on the idea. We agree that Walter Gordon's plan to build -a wall around Canada cannot work, yet we do not want to surrender to the power of U.S. Dynamic nationalism is a new dynamic policy of positive nationalism, aimed at raising living standards, uniting the country, and guarding its fu- ture. We need -foreign capital now, and foreign trade always, but on our terms." Mr. Hamilton specifically criticizes the long-held and de- featist Liberal view--in fact the (Liberal policy -- that Canada will eventually dissolve into statehood within the U.S. that such takeover is inevitable. We have the advantages of natural resources, and national thrift to create the capital to develop those resources. Within 20 years we could be living better as Canadians than as citiziens of the U.S. he asserts, To Correct Rural - Urban Imbalance By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) -- A major problem that has long faced Soviet agriculture is the great disparity between living condi- tions in the countryside and city. Soviet authorities say they now are on their way to cor- recting the imbalance. But it will be a slow process. The relatively primitive standard of living in the vil- lages adversely affects agricul- ture in two ways. Young people are driven off the land to seek their. fortunes in the cities. Widespread apathy is created among the peasants, with con- sequent inroads on their produc- tivity. The lack of amenities in rural communities is visible to any- one driving through them. The poorly-constructed streets turn info quagmires in winter and spring, the lighting is poor and there's no running water. Educational facilities are lacking and there is a chronic shortage of teachers. Worse still, as far as young people are concerned, is the lack of recreational facilities. Each collective farm is sup- yavanna TTT posed to have a club for show- ing movies and staging dances and games but these aren't al- ways provided. Financlally the callec- tive farmer is far worse off than the urban _ industrial worker. Until the last year he didn't even have a guaranteed wage but had to wait until the farm's profits were distributed at the end of the year. Now he gets a minimum monthly wage but it's far below the $100 to $110 average for the factory worker in the city. Soviet economists say the five-year plan that began last year will go a long way toward bringing rural living standards closer to the urban level. It will be a benefit of greater farm production, they say. More money is being allotted to developing agriculture and this is supposed to result in a more rapid rise in farm labor productivity--seven to 7.7 per cent compared with 5.9 to 6.2 in industry. This in turn is calculated to accelerate the rise in earnings of agricultural workers--35 to 40 per cent compared with 20 per cent for all wage and salary workers taken together. LLM NEW INDUSTRY MUSHROOMS Puerto Ricans Likely To Retain US. Ties By DAVE NICHOLSON SAN JUAN (CP) --Puerto Ricans vote July 23 in a ref- erencum aimed at determin- ing the political future of the Caribbean island. Observers see little chance of the vote producing startling results. They say it's already clear Puerto Ricans will choose to retain their special status as a commonwealth of the United States. The referendum will offer three choices: continued com- monwealth status, full state- hood within the U.S. or total independence. - But if the vote is. expected to produce no surprises, nei- ther is it expected to provide a final answer to the island's future. Spokesmen for the statehood and independence parties say they will continue their struggle even if the ref- . erendum shows overwhelming support for commonwealth status. Ironically, independ- ence party leaders claim their following is growing at a time when the government of Ro- berto Sanchez Vilella, a staunch supporter of the com- monwealth system, is bring- ing in new industry almost as fast as the island can find room for. it. 150 NEW FIRMS Under the government's Operation Bootstrap, 150 new industries moved into the is- land last year. Net income from the total of 2,300 plants operating on Puerto Rico grew by 10.7 per cent to $485,000,000. But government opponents say the industrial program is doing far more good for the American businessmen oper- ating the plants than for the Puerto Rican peasants, many still trapped in grinding pov- erty. Poverty is not hard to find on the island of 2,700,000. Much of the worst of it is concentrated in this capital of 700,000, where a matter of inches can separate squalid huts from palatial houses ringed by ornate Castilian balconies. Juan Mari Bras, leader of the Pro-Independence Move- ment, says the operation has meant "low salaries, low rents but all kinds of incen- tives for the Americans." Replying to those who say Puerto Rico, 1,000 miles southeast of Miami, would suffer a crippling economic blow if separated from the United States, Bras says in- dependence would instead pro- vide the island with greater economic freedom than ever before. The Pro Independence Movement, founded in 1959, is the newest and most vocal of several independence parties on the island. Although its strength is dif- ficult to determine because it usually calls on its followers to abstain in elections, Bras claims his party now controls 13 per cent of the voting population. How could the United States be forced to grant independ- ence to the 3,423-square-mile island, about 1% times as large as Prince Edward Is- land? "We believe the combina- tion of increasing interna- tional pressure against colon- ialism and the national mobil- ization of the people of Puerto Rico will force the United States to give us our inde- pendence," said the Amer- ican-trained lawyer. Puerto Rico 'is not a com- monwealth as Canadians know it, it's only a colony in full disguise." Puerto _ Rican © nationalists have often turned to world opinion to plead their case, most notably in 1950 when several attempted to assas- sinate President Truman in Washington and again in 1954 when others shot and wounded five congressmen on the floor of the House of Representa tives, UN WON'T HELP The General Assembly of the United Nations, however, has said in a resolution the island is a self-governing po- litical unit associated volun- tarily with the United States and cannot be considered a colony. Bras sees little likelihood of Puerto Rico becoming the 5ist state within the U.S. and doubts the Americans them- selves want it 'The United States does not "pretend to be a multi-national state and therefore could not accept us until they had de- stroyed our national char- acter. And we won't let this happen." Most objections to the spread of industrial develop- ment stem from concessions granted new firms. Industries can obtain tax holidays of up to 17 years while paying low wages to their Puerto Rican employees. Government officials say the island's unemployment rate is about 10 per cent but opponents claim it runs as high as 30 per cent. Bras says _ independence from the United States would free Puerto Rico of economic dependence on the U.S. "We would continue to trade with the United States and at the same time receive the benefit of being able to trade on a free basis with the rest of the world. "As it now stands, if we wish to import from Canada, we have to pay the U.S. tariff. i Sod U7 Gyn THE LIVELINESS OF LONG DISTANCE RUNNER Gone erm FOREIGN NEWS ANALYSIS Brazil Accepts Dictator By PHILIP DEANE Foreign Affairs Analyst This week, Brazil inaugurates a new president and a new con- Stitution which does not even pretend to be democratic. Henceforth freedom of the press disappears, opposition parties have to face the active hostility of the state and the armed forces are recognized as the big brother who. knows best. The best. The new president, of course, is a military man, Mar- shall Costa e Silva. In short the world's fifth largest country, covering one half of South America, is now a military dic- tatorship. One wonders why. Brazil has been richly en- dowed by nature, with great hydroelectric potential, colossal forests, a multiplicity of miner- als including one-third of the earth's iron ore reserves. The soil is spectacularly fertile and only five percent of the arable land is cultivated; in the size of their land, the people of Brazil have the promise of a good life--a good life in har- mony even, because they have all but eliminated tension among their various races. Yet Brazil has the highest in- fant mortality in this hemis- phere, the highest possibly in the world, a life expectancy of 43 for its citizens, the highest per capita foreign debt of any country, practically no roads and such an inequitable distri- bution of wealth that half the arable land is owned by 1.6 per cent of the population, this in a nation that is primarily agricul- tural; next to a starving family scratching a living off two acres, a man owns a superbly fertile farm covering five thou- sand square miles. Such glaring inequalities are remnants of the colonial, feudal past, as is the corruption which so pervades the land that a Brazilian state governor is ap- provingly quoted as saying that he stels but. gets things done. One recent president made TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 16, 1967... European troops under Gen, Milne of Britain occu- pied Constantinople, the capital of Turkey, 47 years ago today -- in 1920 -- and closed down the Turkish parliament. After being on the losing side of the First World War the Turkish em- pire had virtually disinte- grated but the European powers were hostile to the nationalist movement of Mustapha Kemal and wanted to prevent the sul- tan from conciliation with him. It did no good be- cause he was the only man able to form a stable gov- ernment and won complete control of all Turkey by 1922, when the sultan fled. 1521 -- Ferdinand Magel- lan discovered the Philip- pine Islands. 1802 --The U.S. Military Academy was. founded at West Point, N.Y. BIBLE "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundant- ly." John 10:10. Only the divine God has the real definition of life, and real living is found alone in the resurrected Christ, enough out of his office to buy nearly five hundred thousand acres of choice land. The ruling classes have been notoriously slack in reforming themselves and so, in recent years, agitation from below, among the destitute and desper- ate, has grown apace. The poor threw up leaders who quoted Castro. The ruling class to pac- ify the city poor, at least, granted wage increases totally unrelated to productivity. Cor- ruption wasted the capital in- vestments that could increase this productivity, prices rose 84 percent in one year, inflation ate the country's substance, the poor grew poorer and more restive. The army stepped in with the concurrence of the badly fright- ened ruling class politicians who preferred losing their. freedom to losing their wealth. The army generals conscientiously fought inflation, brooking no opposi- tion; brooking no opposition has been their attitude in all fields-- generals know no other way. But they are not. righting in- justice; they are merely con- taining the pressure of protest and this often ends in an ex+ plosion. Building Of Panama Canal Predicted By Champlain By BOB BOWMAN Samuel de Champlain was a man of vision. He predicted the building of the Panama Canal, and was probably the first news- paper publisher in Canada! Champlain's first voyage to North America was in 1599 as geographer to an_ expedition that visited Spanish possessions, including Porto Rico and Mex- ico. He was allowed to explore the coast in a small boat and saw that a canal would solve the problem of getting to the Pacific. It was built. 300 years later. If Henry IV had heeded that advice of his minister, the Duc de Sully, France might have beaten England in the estab- lishment of colonies south. of Canada. Sully urged the king not to try to create colonies north of 40 degrees latitude (Virginia) but Henry said that the only hope of getting finan- cial returns was through the fur trade, and the north was better for furs. That is why France's major colonial development in North America was in Canada. In 1603 Champlain was a member of an expedition that went up the St. Lawrence as far as Montreal. Then it was decided that there would be a compromise in the north-south argument by establishing a col- ony in the Arcadia area. This became known later as Acadia, In 1604, Champlain was a mem- ber of an expedition of two ships that explored the coast of Nova Scotia, noted the excellent har- bor at Port Royal (now Annapo- lis Royal), but decided to spend the winter at Dochet Island near the mouth of the St. Croix River. This island is now an historic landmark between New Brunswick and Maine and can be seen from the highway be- tween St. Stepyen and St. An- drew's. It was during the winter on Dochet Island that Champlain put out the newspaper for the entertainment of his colleagues. However Dochet Island was not a good place to settle because it lacked fresh water and wood which had to be brought from the mainland, often in stormy weather. Nearly half the com- pany died of survy. On March 16, 1605, Champlain decided that the colony must be moved else- where as soon as possible, and eventually settled at Port Royal. OTHER MARCH 16 EVENTS 1649--Iroquois attacked Huron settlement and killed Fathers Brebouf and Lalemant. 1836--Saint John-Shediac Rail- way incorporated. 1846--Earl of Cathcart made Governor of Canada. 1861 -- Paarliament met at Quebec. 1900--Lord Strathcona sailed for South Africa. Horse QUEEN'S PARK Audio, Video Coverage Considered By DON O"HEARN TORONTO--The question of whether television and radio re- cording of the proceedings of the house should be permitted appears due to come up again, and perhaps more prominently than it ever has been in the past. Until now any recording of the proceedings in the house for broadcast or television purposes has been prohibited. But radio and television inter- ests have never been able to understand this prohibition and recently have been more and more anxious to get their micro- phones and cameras into the chamber. CLOSE VOTE An incident that may serve to bring this to the fore hap- pened at a meeting of the pri- vate bills committee. The CBC were ready to start recording the. meeting, when the chairman, Bert Lawrence of Ottawa, pointed out this was not allowed under the rules of the house. Some Liberal and NDP mem- bers protested. They forced the question to a vote. And the com- mittee was split 10 members for and 10 against with Mr. Law- rence having to cast the decid- ing vote against permission to record. Obviously a good share of the members feel that telecasting and broadcasting should be per- mitted. And with this stumulus the demand should be' stepped up. NEW DIMENSION The question involved is deep, complex and also largely with- out precedent. All reporting of the news of parliaments is in rather a grey area, At one time no verbatim reports at all were permitted, and still the only place in par- liamentary chambers where note-taking is permitted is in the press galleries. The whys and wherefores of this are buried in history, and the Privilege of reporting per- mitted the press today is largely based on accumulated custom rather than any firm, reasoned rules. Radio and television are new media, operating in another dis mension, with direct communis cation between the parliamen- tarians and the public, and therefore presenting a new problem. It can be- argued strongly that the nature of the news tends towards a distorted pic- ture. That because of the lim- itations of time both radio and TV normally touch only the highlights, and with these com centrate on the sensational. But against this there is thé strong other side that they arh integral media in our communi cations of today and should not be deprived of the right of re- porting parliament in accord- ance with their normal methods YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Announcement was made to- day by William A. Wecker, president and General Manager of General Motors that con- struction will be started within a few weeks on a new 10 mil- lion truck assembly plant south of the CNR tracks. The new United Church at Kedron is nearing completion. The minister of the church is Rev. R, H. Rickard. 30 YEARS AGO General Motors of Canada announced today that sick ben efits for workers would be in- creased to $14.00 from $10.00 a week, Three stalwart minions of the law, members of the Oshawa Police Force, PC Tom Shields, PC Bill Goodwin and PC George McCammond, from the Land of Erin, found emerald green rib- bons, shamrocks and pipes, also a couple of Irish Spuds in their lockers this morning when they reported for duty.
