@ THE DAILY TIMPS-GAZETTE, Friday, June 5, 1053 Editorials The Dally TimesGasette (Oshaws, Whitby), Publishers, Limited. 57 Simooe Street South, Th ety Eisenhower Finds Troubles Within Own Political Party President General Grant's administration js generally credited as being about the worst in the history of the United States. President Eisenhower's from the way things are going, is headed for pretty low rating. Orice more it is being demonstrated that generals do not make good politicians. Poli- tical skill is something quite different. from military skill. The~Repiblican party is now paying the price for having resorted to expediency in choosing General Eisenhower as its candi- date in order to win the election last November. Now the party is splitting right down the middle. General Fisenhower appealed to the voters on a program of furthering world trade and he still pursues that line in his talks. The Republican majority no sooner assumed power in Congress than, contrari- wise, they revived the party's traditional policies of protection. The General in his campaign emphasized that an urgent demand of the people was for a reduction in taxes. They were promised relief if they voted for him. He said that elimination of "waste, inefficiency, duplica- tion and corruption," would make possible a tax cut "now." But now he has come out in favor of maintaining the high tax rates and against a cut. A strong section of the Re- Position of Britain That Great Britain, far from being a trespassed on Egyptian soil, holds her posi- on on the Suez canal as a matter of right and duty, is not generally realized, nor is it mentioned by our pink-tinged sympathizers who acclaim Naguib's ultimatum. 4 Britain is there under treaty, which makes the guarding of the canal Britain's duty. Moreover, the Suez canal is, not an ex- clusively Egyptian property, but an inter- nationally-owned undertaking, in protecting and conserving which Britain has played a greater and more eostly party that Egypt ever played. The Ottawa Journel elucidates some de- tails of the treaty! "Under that treaty Egypt is guaranteed $1,000,000 a year from the Canal profits. All ships under 300 tons--meaning mostly Egyptian ships--use the waterway free; and fabor employed on all canal repairs must be 96 per cent Egyptian. Finally, in 1968 the publican party in Congress is going against him and demanding the tax cuts that the people were promised. Senator Taft, apparently with the support of old-guard Republicans has come: out against the President's Korean- policy and talks of "going it alone," and withdrawing support from the United Nations if the truce effort in Korea should fail. * * LJ All such developments emphasize the deep disunity within the party and the in- ability of the President to exert his leader- ship of Congress. Serious as such frustration in government would be at any time from a purely domes- tic viewpoint, it is alarming at this time from the international point of view as the western nations look to the U.S. for leadership, The tragic aspect of it is that there is no prospect of resolving the cleft short of the Congressional elections of two or four years hence, It all adds up to anything but a happy or confident outlook for either the United States or the western nations that are de- pending on it for the leadership which it has assumed. The Hon. Lester B. Pearson was not over- stating when he recently called it '"deplor- able". and Eon whole property reverts to Egyptian ownership. "Considering that the canal was built by European capital and engineering skill, Egypt seems to hold a fair bargain. "And Britain isn't insisting in staying on at the Suez canal in some exclusive proprie- tary way. Britain in years past spent some $2 billion there, but she says: "We are ready to go, to quit the canal on the fair condition that the defensive job there is carried on by somebody--preferably by a joint force that could include Egyptians." "Nothing could be fairer; for the defence of the Suez canal should no longer be Britain's sole duty, nor the sole duty of any one power. Suez's defence today concerns all the Western countries, including the United States; is as much a part of the task of NATO as the defence of Germany. "Egypt's Naguib, if he is the realist some have painted him, should stop his Hitler-like posturing and make terms with reality." Psychiatry Has Place in Industry Industrial psychiatry has justified its bid for a place in industry by helping to fore- stall or prevent serious mental and emo- tional disturbances among employees, a New York University-Bellevue Medical Centre conference has been told. The statement was made by Dr. Lydia G. Giberson, personal adviser to employees at the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Speaking at a meeting under the joint aus- pices of the NYU Post-Graduate Medical School's Department of Industrial Medicine and the American Academy of Compensation Medicine, Dr. Giberson declared that indus- trial psychiatry had proved its worth "not only by the human factors involved but also by cold hard gain in efficiency, morale and profits." She told 75 physicians and representatives of management and labor groups that she Editorial Notes A Manitoba election capdidate stands for the Prosperity for Posterity party.

"Most workers," she said, "have made their adjustments to industrial living, and if their existence is not upset too radically, they will continue to function smoothly and consistently with only normal lapses for ill- ness and age crises. In any large organiza- tion, however, there will be at any one time a fairly constant 20 to 25 per cent of the workers, who for chronic or temporary causes, are unable to bear efficiently the stresses of industrial work." Dr. Giberson said that the hours now spent by corporations in the handling of employees problems could be reduced by close co- operation between personnel, the medical department and management. There seems to be a great deal of merit in that suggestion.

OTTAWA REPORT Protests Mounting On August Election By PATRICK NICHOLSON Special Correspondent for The Times-Gazette OTTAWA -- Speculation that the federal general election may be held on Monday, Aug. 10, has evoked a storm of protest, say several Members of Parliament. a remark of the prime minister. "IH the yomue, ar gh pre: ed during July an ugust,'"' Be told Parliament, "it would be apt to disfranchise quite a large number. They would not be apt to be at home on the two oc- casions when the enumerators were required by law to call, and thereby hg would be left off the Objection to an August election lists." one political party, ially vocal from Rn areas and industrial centres. Most farmers are tied to their farms between the Glorious Twelfth of July and Labor Day early in September; many factories close down entireiy for a week or two in August, so their employees can get away for 2 holiday with their families be- fore the schools reopen. J.W.Murphy, MP for Lambton West, added his voice to this chorus speaking at a Progressive Conservative ivention at Wel- "r have had many _ protests the advice in ul es 4 against Vsabilly holding an el- gust in Canadas," he bg "fy ups virtually disfran- chise a large body of public opin. ion ¥ 4 holaing an election at time when it is least pil Mo for them to go to the polls to vote." MPs of other parties say they have recelved many protests against an August election day, which has never been ted since Confederation. The t two federal elections included August polling, but on both occasions the polls were kept open for several weeks for the convenience of voters who could not attend on one specific date. In 1867, the polls Were from Aug, 7 until Sept. 20 they were open from July 20 until Oct. 12. Since then, voting has taken place on one day only. The month of August has never been chosen, nor has April or May. Elections have been held in every other month in the' year. The suggestion of an August election" wi was given substance by According to the chief electoral office here, the prime minister was not quite accurate. Enumer- ators must call at every house in urban districts between the 49th and 44th days before voting to compile voters' lists. If any voters happen to be away, either on holi- day or at work, someone else in the house or even a neighbor can place their names on the list. Further, course of revision of the voters lists are held on the 18th, 17th and 16th days before polling, when anyone whose name has been left off can have this 2 right by cbmpleting the spec- al form for that purpose. Voters in rural districts can vote even if their names have been left off the lists, so long as they can be identified when they at- tend the poll to vote. 80 holiday-makers or farmers would not be disfranchised by being out of their homes when the enumerators call; and there would be no objection to starting enum- eration on say Monday, Aug. 10, and holding the election on Mon- day, Oct. 5. But hol the election on Mon- day Aug. 10, would disfranchise many farmers and factory work- ers and summer-campers.

The Liberal leader criticized the government for lack of over-all planning and the need for decen- tralization of industry. Particularly, he proposed there be a differential in hydro rates to encourage industry to locate in smaller centres. GROWING WRONG We don't know how much eritic- ism can properly be directed at the government on this point. The question of over-all planning and control is sul complex. 2 it certainly is one to which it soon will have to give a great ra of attention. There can be little doubt that our industrial areas are growing in a most unhealthy way, and that at present there is very little con- trol over them. JAMMING AR Rather than "spreading out through the province, which would be the ideal, they are congregating more and more in the old centres, particularly in the Toronto and suburban area. And the result isn't good for anyone. The area surround Ford plant at e the new an This huge plant which has just gone into operation even- tually 1 employ thousands of workers. Along with it there will be a number of secondary plants. There will be an influx of thou- sands of workers into the Toronto metropolitan area. The area is al- ready desperate for housing. And yet there is no provision being made for housing for the Ford workers. CLOSE DOWN It seems inevitable that even- tually the province will have to step in on. developments such as this and insist that there are proper residential areas constructed along with new industrial development. The hydro rate question is part of the over-all picture. It does, or could, have an influence on indus- trial growth and might be one means of control. Beyond this the rate structure should be studied anyway. Government leaders have real- ized this for some time. The rate structure is a strange octopus. It dates its growth from the first days of hydro when special deals were made to bring various muni- cipalities into agreement. 'And it hasn't been substantially changed since with the result there are gros} disparities and discrimina- ons. Want to buy, sell or trade? -- A Classified ad and the deal is made. example.

READERS' VIEWS Commercialism In The Parade The Editor, The Times-Gasette: 8ir, Would you kindly grant me permission to express a few of my views in regard to the coromation parade. There is no doubt this was one of the biggest and best parades we have ever seen in Oshawa and the committee responsible is to be congratulated; but there was one sour note, in my opinion, when a great deal of the dignity of the oocasion was tarnished by the pres- ence of a few commercial vehicles. The sight of a car transport, Ges trucks, Cement mixers and such add nothing and subtracted a good deal from the parade. But the moet disgusting part was played by a television sound truck, for in one window of the truck was a picture of the Queen, and in the next window was a picture of a Olrous Clown. A little dignity please! Surely those in charge of parades such as this should keep commer. cialism out. Thank you IRATE CITIZEN MAU MAU FIGHTER LONDON (AP)--Gen.
