AVERAGE CIRCULATION 10,617 THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1961 Worthy of Support The Board of Directors of the Ajax and Pickering Township General Hospital is find- ing the going rather difficult in its campaign to raise $25,000 to make possible the estab- lishment of a general hospital in Ajax. This hospital is intended to serve mot only the Ajax community, but also the whole of Pick- ering township. So far, up to yesterday's report, the amount raised is about $8,200, with the campaign already beyond the date originally set for its conclusion. This new hospital project at Ajax is worthy of much more substantial support than has been given to it so far. It may be that the community is acquiring its hospital so easily, and at so small an expenditure that the realization of the need for finances is not sufficiently urgent. Ajax and Picker- ing Township can be considered fortunate that, thanks to the generosity of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, they have been able to secure the site, buildings and equipment for their hospital at such a nominal figure as $25,000, Had any other community started on the establishment of a 28-bed hospital, without the advantages which prevail in Ajax, it would probably have cost about ten times the amount which is asked from the people of Ajax and Pick- ering Township. . We sincerely hope that the Ajax and Pickering Township Hospital Board will yet succeed in its effort to raise the sum of $25,000, which is, as we have noted, a paltry sum for the type of hospital which is pro- posed. This is an object which is worthy of the generous and whole-hearted support of 'the community, including its industrial, business and residential interests. Stepping Up Immigration This year, immigration into Canada from Britain and certain European countries is being stepped up to fairly substantial pro- portions. Already, in the first six months of the year, more immigrants have arrived in Canada than during the whole year of 1950, when the total was about 74,000. It is estimated that this year 150,000 new settlers will come to Canada from these countries, the largest number since back in the late twenties. One encouraging feature about the immi- gration increase is that it is very largely in the number coming from Britain and the northern European countries. In the first five months of 1951, the number from Britain, 10,600, was double what,it was in the same period of 1950. The immigration from Northern Europe was up 166 per-cent from what it was in the same period last year. United States migration to Canada in- creased 17.4 per cent. . Since experience has shown that the most desirable settlers for Canada are those who come from 'Britain, and the northern Euro- pean countries such as the Netherlands, Den- mark, Norway and Sweden, this immigration movement is very much for the benefit of this country. We need more population in Canada, and it is gratifying to see so many coming from countries where the people are noted for their industry, thrift and depen- dability. There is little danger of any large | influx of people with Communistic sym- pathies from these countries. On the con- trary, they are people who can be depended upon to make a great contribution to Cana- da, and to become first-class citizens once they have become established in the land of their adoption. Mediation May Help The first glimmer of hope of a settlement of the Iran oil controversy has come in the acceptance by the Iran Government of Presi- dent Truman's offer to send Averell W. Har- riman to Iran as mediator: It may be that this is the break in the situation for which both 'sides have been looking. In accepting the offer, Iran makes it clear that it will not move from its stand for the nationalization of its oil resources. But since Britain and the Anglo-Iranfan Ofl Company have already accepted nationalization as something that they cannot avoid, that point is no longer an issue. What is needed is the development of some formula by which Iran can carry out its nationalization plans, and at the same time reach an agreement for the operation of the AIOC oil well and re- finerjes through that company acting as its 0) tors. Acceptance of the mediation offer does in- dicate a softening of the Iran attitude, and if this can be carried forward into a spirit of compromise regarding the actual oper- ation of the wells and the disposition of the oil produced, there can be real hope for a settlement of the dispute. The bare facts are that Iran cannot carry on the oil wells and refineries without the British engineers and technicians, and can- not dispose of the oil without the AIOC tankers. On the other hand, Britain sorely needs the oil which comes from Iran. Thus there is good groundwork for a compromise with an experienced diplomat like Mr. Harri- man acting as a mediator to bring both sides together.

Cooking 2 With Oil pr Vd --Manning, in The Phoenix Republic Looking Around The World By M. M. H. The final stages of putting inte effect a peace treaty between Japan and all of the nations allied in the war against that country, except Soviet ».ussia, are now at hand. It is anounced that the peace treaty will be signed at an international conference to be held in San Fran- cisco on September 4 and 5, with a strong possibility that President Truman will be present to sign for his country. The outstanding characteristic of the peace treaty with Japan, from: what has been published in the way of detail, is that it lacks vindictive« ness. It differs entirely from the type of peace treaty made effective after World War I, in which there was an element of revenge, a desire to extract the last possible dollar of reparations from the defeated nations and®to keep them under subjection. In that treaty, known as the Treaty of Versailles, were sown the seeds which came to frui- tion in the rise to power of Hitler and the coming of the Second World War. The peace which is proposed with Japan is being termed a peace of reconciliation. It is intended to secure for the free democracies which were her enemies the friend- ship and co-operation of Japan, and to nulify any possibility of that country coming within the grasp of Communism. These are important factors in assessing the worth of any treaty that might be framed. Japan can be a great anchor in the United Nations defence of the Far East so long as the treaty terms are such as to make her co-operation not only possible, but certain. The peace of reconciliation which is proposed restores Japan to full sovereignty and gives her the right to rearm. No provision has been made for the payment of repara- tians out of capital assets, such as was imposed on Germany after the first world war. But it does leave the way open for the Philippines and other occupied countries to col- leat partial indemnity from Japan in the form of technical and indus- trial service. As part of the settlement in the Far East, there are two other treat- ies. One is a separate pact extend ing to Japan the protection of the United States. The other is a three-way security agreement in which the United States, in effect, pledges to aid Australia and New Zealand in .the event that -they should be attacked by a revived Japan or by Communist Asia. These guarantees by the United States are felt to be important in main- taining the position of the Far East. ern democracies. The free democracies involved are going right ahead with this treaty without Soviet Russia. Russia has refused to have anything to do with it, so she is left out of the picture. In view of the fact that Russia de- clared war on Japan only a few days before the fizst atom bombs were dropped on. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and actually took no part in compelling the surrender of the Japanese, it is hard to find any justification for including Russia in the peace treaty. In fact, it was Delusive Appearance By JOSEPH LISTER RUTLEDGE We like to thifk of ourselves as peaceful, honest and law-abiding citizens. As individuals we believe in justice and honesty and fair- play. .We would not, knowingly, take from anyone wh t we knew to be his, and that certainly was not ours. Had we done so, even in a small way, our conscience, if not our laws, would have given us endless trouble. This is the public virtue that has crea':d the moral climate under, which we wish to live. If the majority of us thought differently then the moral climate would be different. But when we still look with covetous eyes at our neighbor's property we begin to rationalize our convictions, and seek ways to achieve our ends without admit- ting any change in views. The simplest way, we have discovered, is to broaden the demand so that the impact on the individual conscience may be less clear. We speak of gov- ernment "doing for the people what the people are unable to do for themselves." This euphemism re- lieve: our private conscience of its burden without limiting our de- mands, » Clarence Manion, C:an of the College of Law of Notre Dame Uni~ versity, in his book "The Key to Peace" explains how simple a mat- ter it is to relieve ourselves of personal responsibility by incorpor- ating all of us as government. Now I want some of your property. But I cannot satisfy my wish without running contrary to the law, dhe law that I have approved and help- ed to set up. Therefore, rather than brea: this law, I persuade the gov- ernment to tax you 'n "ome of your operations, By doing this the gov- ernment secures funds with which it may pay me a subsidy. My desire for some of your property has been satisfied, but I have proceeded ac- cording to law and my conscience is' clear. But something else is also clear, Having discovered how pleas- antly and easily and lawfully I can take from you to benefit myself, I should be more than human if I did not attempt it again and again, What has happened has not be- come moral because it is done by governmen* in roundabout ways ruther than directly by an indi- vidual. 7¢ has only become easier and safer to do wrong, because the number of people involved have confused the issues. As an indi- vic al I might not be able to dull my conscience sufficiently to take what was yours; but I think dif- ferently when the government be- comes the transfer agent, We might all reflect on the moral and social hazards of any course that so re- lieves us of the troublesome distinc- tions between mine and 'hine. unforfunate that at the Yalta Con- ference it was felt necessary to per- suade Russia to get into the war with Japan at all. However, that was done, and the other allies to- day regret it, If Russia wapts to make a separate peace treaty on her own, that is her business. Her greatest problem will be to frame something that the re-established and reorganized Japan will be willing to accept. . LEARN TO DRIVE A CAR * The Safe Easy Way . .. "In Dual Control Car!

AN Rights Resirved INSIDE QUEENS PARK North Ontario Not All New Port. Arthur--We think of this section of Ontario as 'New'. The North and North-western Ontario we commonly regard as a young pioneer. And this, of course, can be very wrong. Ninety miles south of here, for instance, just across the border, there is a little settlement which ranks as one of the oldest on the continent. Grand P. e by name, it now is just an Indian village but its history goes back to the 1600's and at one time it was the most important trading post on the con- tinent. Back in the early develop- ment days it was the gateway to the northwest and in its hugh stock- ade trappers and traders from all the great fur companies: gathered at one time or another. At the height of its prosperity during July and August, the peak of the season, there would be hun- dreds of partners, traders, clerks and guides inside its walls. The post, of course, at various stages of its life was controlled by different powers including the French, British and Americans and since 1842 a seven - mile portage trail leading from it has had the Sstinetion of being international . The portage was the one way of negotiating rapids on the Pigeon river, the main waterway to the west and used by both Canadians and Americans. 80 when the bound- ary between the U. 8. and Cana- da was being settled, under the Webster - Ashburton treaty it was named as international territory and open to residents of both coun- tries without restriction. There is not a great deal of evi- dence of its former glory at Grand rtage today. The old stockade of Northwest Company post has been rebuilt but the other buildings have vanished. * Next month, however, it is to have one more day of fame. Then under the sponsorship of the U. 8, National Parks Board it is to be de- dicated as a national historic site. Ontario as well as the federal government will be represented at the ceremony along with U, 8. nota- bles and leading historians. Un- doubtedly on the dedication day these will be widely reported. In southern Ontario we are apt to be smug at times with our power and little reminders such as this that in the life of our country and pro- vince we are really only brash Joubssters might help to keep us n line, a a he FETTER FAMILY HOTELS Th RAR S.
