She Oshawa Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited T. L. Wilson, Publisher E. C. Prince, Associate Publisher OSHAWA, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1967 'Get Whitey' In Canada? It Can Happen Here Too Canadians are appalled and alarm- ed with the ravages of race rioting that has virtually put many of the major cities of the United States under siege. Our concern cannot be- come complacent, rather the terrible turmoil should serve an urgent alert to put our own affairs in order. Ample warning certainly came at the conference of Commissions for Human Rights held recently. The gathering was told that the plight of the Canadian Indian is worse than that of the American Negro. The predicament of the Indians as second-class citizens was described in a hard-hitting address given by Walter Currie, a Toronto school teacher and an officer of the Indian- Eskimo Association of Canada. An Indian himself, Mr. Currie spoke forthrightly of the "shame- ful mess" 'of our present Indian affairs and blamed much of it on "legislative discrimination". Point- ing out that reservation Indians are on the lowest economic income of any Canadian group, he said that poverty and isolation are robbing them of their rights and their hap- piness. He urged that the people of Can- ada recognize what they are doing to their fastest growing group, and that governments examine their policies and roles toward its native people. He criticized provincial gov- ernments for hiding behind the skirts of the federal government and trying "'to pass the buck". In Canada there are more than 200,000 Indians. Their history is one of deprivation. Circumstances have deprived them of the social justice, human dignity and equality of opportunity other Canadians for generations have counted as their heritage. In the incisive comment of their pavilion at Expo the Indians have demonstrated an acute awareness of their situation. Their message must be made to penetrate the conclaves of the Commons. If it doesn't there can be cries of "Get Whitey" on this side of the border too -- and "Whitey will be as responsible as he is vulnerable. YMCA Needed Here? Although Oshawa has many ex- cellent facilities for the cultural, recreational and educational develop- ment of its citizens, the lack of a Young Men's Christian Association is a challenge which should not go unheeded. Through the generosity of Col. R. S. McLaughlin the city acquired a Young Women's Christian Associa- tion some years ago which provides residential and recreational facilities for a \arge number of business and professional women, It would seem to us that action should be taken by public spirited citizens to provide * gimilar facilities for young men. Oshawa was one of the pioneers of the YMCA movement in the pro- She Oshawa Fimes 86 King St. E.. Oshawa, Ontorio T, L. WILSON, Publisher £. C. PRINCE, General Manager C. J.

A YMCA was founded in 1910 with the late Robert Mc- Laughlin, founder of the McLaugh- lin Carriage Co. as the charter presi- dent. A three-storey building was erected on Simcoe Street South where the Post office now stands. The building also had a gymnasium and swimming pool. The association as late as 1927 had 250 members. One of the main assets for the re-establishment of the association in Oshawa would be the facilities it would provide for newcomers to orient themselves and enter into the life of the community under proper guidance and Christian influenc embracing development of the body, mind and spirit.

A democratic election has put Betty Mae Jumper in the chair of the council of Florida's Seminole Indians. She is the first woman to hold the post. Hers is the bold tribe that fought the United States gov- ernment for seven years from the swamps of the Everglades until the government gave up in 1842. This branch of the Seminole tribe claims to be (technically) still at war. -- Christian Science Monitor mi 'WARRANT FOR GENOCIDE' HE NEN NAC EA OTTAWA REPORT Ticks Over CBC Pension 'Time Bomb By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Another "Coyne case' is ticking away like a time-bomb under the House of Commons. "The CBC is costing the tax- payers more than $140,000,000 this year; that is $28,000,000 more than last year--an_ in- crease of 25 per cent," I wrote in this column April 7. 'What is shocking about the CBC bill is not its huge size so much as the huge waste included in it. Why don't our MPs dig out the facts and trim the cost down? "For instance, there is the case of ex-vice president Briggs. He was upped, almost on the eve of retirement, to be vice-president at CBC head- quarters in Ottawa at $15,000 a year. Later his slary was in- creased by a mere 67 per cent to $25,000 a year. Then came retirement, "Not only did he depart with a pension comparable to that which Canadians pay a former prime minister, but in addition the CBC granted him a gratuity of one year's pay, or $25,000. This appaers to be beyond the terms of the normal relevant employment contract." Four months after the above appeared in this column, the annual report of the CBC was published. That included the re- view of CBC accounts by the auditor-general of Canda, Max Henderson, consisting of four paragraphs, three of which re- lated to the Briggs case. OPPOSED ACT Max Henderson asserted that the "golden handshake" of $25,000 in addition to his regu- lar pension was, in his opinion, an illegal act by the CBC. Fur- ther, he reported, the CBC had failed to disclose this gift prop- erly in its accounts Readers will remember the Coyne case was triggered by the Diefenbaker government discovering that the Bank of Canada had increased the pen- sion - which Governor Coyne would receive, raising it from about $11,500 to $25,000 a year. Prime Minister Diefenbaker argued that the pension of a senior employee of the state could not be increased without cabinet or parliamentary ap- proval, because it entailed spending the taxpayers' money. The Liberal opposition -- raised hell about this, insisting that the Bank of Canada had authori- ty to increase its governor's pension and violently criticizing the Conservative government for objecting. But when the Liberals got back into power, the cabinet slipped an act through Parlia- ment, stipulating that any pro- posed change in "the retire- ment pension of the governor does not take effect unless it is approved by the Cabinet." Thus Lester Pearson as prime minister compelled all prime ministers in future to do exactly what his party, when in opposition, tried to destroy the Conservative prime minister for doing. LACKED AUTHORITY That concerned the Bank of Canada. a Crown corporation owned by the Canadian people. Now the auditor-general points out, as Ottawa Report sug- gested four months ago, that another Crown corporation has similarly acted without authori- ty. So here we go again, with an- other "Coyne case'? steamming from the constitutional fact that Parliament has exclusive power to authorize the spending of the taxpayers' money. Why were no. MPs alert to this when Parliament was in session? They could have asked some interesting questions: Is Briggs drawing about $15,000 a year in CBC pension? When he retired, was he given in addi- tion to his pension a gift of $25,000 of the taxpayers' money? Was such gift included in his pension contract? Was the gift made solely on the say-so of persons in the CBC? Since when could state employ- ees make gifts to each other out of the taxpayers' money? Why has the Pearson govern- ment abdicated Parliament's constitutional control over the purse strings? How much does the CBC cost each Canadian this year? How many other Ca- nadians will receive a "Briggs gift' of the taxpayers' money when they retire? Is a "Briggs gift" a universal practice under Lester Pearson's "war on pover- ty?" If not, why has he divided Ca- nadians into two classes--those who get retirement gifts and those who don't? Religion Survives, Thrives In Asia, Russians Learn By LARS-ERI KNELSON MOSCOW (Reuters)--Two So- viet authors have found that re- ligion survives and thrives in Central Asia. after 50 years of Soviet state-sponsored atheism. To find out why, D. A. Kap- parov and V. A. Chernyak looked closely at Dhambul Province in Kazakhstan They say in a magazine arti- cle that although the province is inhabited predominantly by Moslem Uzbeks and Kazakhs, they were particularly --con- cerned about the strength of Russian and Ukrainian Ortho- dox belief They say the province was Settled during czarist times by rural families from south Rus- sia and Siberia. In Central Asia these formed ia stable, close- knit society and retained their old traditions and customs, in- cluding religion. Their numbers were supple- mented by dispossessed kulaks --rich peasants--who moved east during the land collectivi- zalion of the 1930s. Many of them still live in villages rather than in the more atheistic cit- ies, the authors say This, they say, is the histori- cal reason for the survival of religion throughout Central Asia but there are other rea- sons. The Central Asian republics generally are a region of heavy industry. Its men are miners and steelworkers; Because light industry has barely come to the area, there is little work for the women, who thus tend to stay at home and are isolated from "Communist character - train- ing" in factories. Because there is also a short- age of day nurseries, children, too, tend to stay home. The children, the authors say, are curious about the world around them. Their parents can give them only religious answers, which the children, because they trust their par- ents, believe. Hence another ge- neration of believers grows up. In addition to the general reasons, the authors cite inten- sive religious propaganda as contributing to the persistence of religious belief. The authors say feudal rela- tions still survive among the non-Russian nationalities of Central Asia. RACE PREJUDICE DISCOUNTED Anti-Semitism Rooted In Faked 'Protocols' By JOSEPH MacSWEEN LONDON (CP)--Fantastic aspects of anti-Semitism through history are analysed with blinding clarity by Pro- fessor Norman Cohn in his book, Warrant for Genocide. The book proves--if proof is needed--that there is no limit to human credulity. It caused one reviewer, C. M. Wood- house' in The Daily Tele- graph, to reach for Alice in Wonderland "The White Queen's feat of believing six impossible 'things before breakfast was child's play compared to the world-wide acceptance of the so-called Protocols of the Eld- ers of Zion." In a work made all the more convincing by its dis- passionate tone, Cohn de- clares: "'As I see it, the dead- liest kind of anti-Semitism, the kind that results in mas- sacre and attempted geno- cide, has little to do with ra- cial prejudice as such. "At its heart lies the belief that Jews--all Jews every- where--form a conspiratorial body set on ruining and then dominating the rest of man- kind. And this belief is simply a modernized, secularized ver- sion of the popular medieval view of Jews as a league of sorcerers employed by Satan for the spiritual and physical ruination of Christendom."

Many of the copied from a French publi- Joly and intended as a satiri- cal attack on Napoleon III, with no reference whatever to Jews. Further irony is added by Cohn's finding that the Rus- ideas were written by Maurice the organized groups with an ideology and by bewildering the rest of the population." In killing Jews, guilt feel- ings are suppressed but come out in a sense of danger and sag terror among the killers est the wronged ones arise and exact retribution: "This alone can explain the extraordinary paradox about the Nazi massacres--that as iniquity that is being pre- sian forgery was. intended pared? simply to discredit a Russian the Jews became more and The Protocols purport to finance minister and hit only more helpless, as they were expound a plan for the domi- indirectly at Jews killed in ever vaster num- nation of the world by a se- ' aie bers, so they were felt to be cret Jewish conspiracy.

Be- cause of the heat, serious busi- ness subsided while statesmen took the waters. What replaced serious business, by definition, was silly business which, in pol- itics, meant that elected repre- sentatives, on holiday from leg- islating, and mending. fences back home, let their imagina- tions roam freely on the topics ec! their own exalted virtue and their enemies' exceeding base- ness. This, of course, took in patriotism which was best em- bodied by the speaker and neg- lected by his opponents. Inevitably, public men read- ing how their reputations were suffering in the mouths of their opponents, developed a theory about conspiracy; someone. if not everyone, had to be plan- ning such a dastardly campaign of denigration. Soon, with the ingenuity poli- ticians show in_ self-delusion, they discovered this conspiracy was very useful since they could attribute to it ail their misfortunes. And so, politicians as a breed came to believe in a permanent conspiracy against them--politicians always be- lieve what is useful to them. "We wuz robbed,"' is not only a sporting man's cry.

Austria declared war on Serbia 53 years ago today --in 1914--and Europe was in a state of general war within days. The Austro- Hungarian empire feared the revival of Serbia as a Balkan power, since many of its subjects were Slavs, -as the Serbs were, and re- sented foreign rule.

Cartier Unable To Control Quebec In 1858; Tories Lost By BOB BOWMAN Political instability was a fac- tor that led to Confederation in 1867. Between 1854 and 1864 there were 10 governments in the Canada of those days. A federation of the British North American provinces seemed to be the only way to break the political deadlock, and planning began in 1864: John A, Macdonald bore the brunt of the upsets between 1854 and 1864 and always man- aged to get back into power thanks to his trusty colleague George Etienne Cartier, the leader of French Canada. Cartier was greatly respected in Quebec because he had been appointed soliciter to the Grand Trunk Railway, and French speaking Canadians did not get many executive plums in those days. Cartier had been a rebel in the 1837 rebellion and wrote a marching song "Avant tout je suis Canadien' meaning "above all, [ am a Canadian'. He had to flee from Canada be- fore the rebellion ended but was exonerated later. DEFEATED IN 1858 The Macdonald-Cartier gov- ernment was defeated on July 28, 1858, on one of the few occa- sions when Cartier was not able to control his French-speaking colleagues. Quebec had been chosen as the capital of Canada in 1856, but the Legislative Council would not accept the appropria- tion to build parliament there. John A. MacDonald then asked Queen Victoria to choose a lo- cation for the capital, and she astounded nearly everyone by naming Ottawa, then described as a "sub-Arctic lumber vil- lage"'. George Brown saw an oppor- tunity to overthrow the govern- ment. He introduced a motion that '"'the City of Ottawa ought not to be the permanent seat of government of this province". As he expected a large number of French-speaking members deserted Cartier and the goy- ernment was defeated 64-50. Brown and Antione Dorion then formed a government but it lasted only four days when Macdonald and Cartier man- aged to get back into power by playing a political trick known in Canadian history as 'the double shuffle". OTHER 28 EVENTS 1673--Count Frontenac com- pleted fort at Kingston. 1755--Decision was made to deport the Acadians. 1819--Richard John Uniake, son of Attorney General of Nova Scotia, was tried for mur- der in Halifax as result of a duel, 1847--London and Brantford were incorporated Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Railway was incorporated. ¢ QUEEN'S PARK Certificate For Safety Of Car Only By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--All automobile dealers now must provide a new certificate of fitness with each used car they sell. The certificates must be signed by both the dealer and a mechanic, They undertake' that the car is in a safe condition to be operated on a highway. They don't give assurance, however, that the whole car is in good mechanical condition. The examination for the certifi- cates is of safety features only. It covers nine points: tie rod ends, tires, lights, service brakes and parking brake, steering, rear-view mirror, horn and windshield wipers. COULD BE FAULTS A car could have a faulty motor, transmission or rear-end and still be approved. As a safety factor the certificates, of course, are whorthwhile. But it is a mistake to think they are a guarantee of fitness, Also only dealers have to issue them. There is no certifi- cate requirement in private sales, Liberal leader Robert Nixon and NDP leader Donald Mac- Donald are having busy sum- mers. Both men are travelling ex- tensively getting in as much campaigning as possible in ad- vance of the election. Mr. Nixon is impressive for the wide variety of subjects he is covering. He is making practically a major speech a day. And each one covers a different area of our Ontario public affairs. WANTS TAXATION SESSION Among recent subjects he has discussed have been a national bill of rights, lack of public beaches, labor legislation, a proposal for a special session on taxation, automobile insur- ance, and the shortage of hospi- tal and nursing facilities. Outstanding in. the Liberal leader's 'speeches is that with each question he pufs forward a list of specific proposals. Thus in discussing hospital facilities one of half a dozen Suggestions was that there should be cancer and heart dis- ease detection clinics in major Ontario centres. The speeches may or may not be winning him marks. But at least they show the Liberal lead- er and his staff are doing a lot of thinking. Mr, MacDonald is repeatedly stressing two themes. One that his party is boom- ing: a finding he bases on opin- ion surveys. Two, that it is attracting new men. And invariably with this he refers to its nwest recruit: former Toronto coroner Dr, Morton Shulman.
