THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S.,'Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Thursday, November 8, 1956 United Nations Ineptitude Stands Clearly Revealed No event that has occurred in the last eleven years, since the United Na- tions Organization came into being has revealed the ineptitupde of that body more than the Russian disregard for the United Nations vote ordering her troops to withdraw from Hungary. The vote in favor of condemning the wan- ton aggression of Russia in this case was met by a reply from the Russian delegate, "This is not acceptable." And that was that. With that terse Russian refusal to act on the United Nations decision, nothing more can be done, unless the United Nations wishes to intervene with an armed force and thus bring on World War III. That would be exactly the result if any other nation dared send a single soldier or bombing plane to Hungary. 3 In the case of the Franco-British intervention in Egypt, the refusal to halt action there was modified tremen- dously, when Britain and France agreed to transfer the task of policing the Suez Canal zone to a United Na- tions force as soon as it was available. That was in keeping with the resolu- tion proposed by Canada's delegate and adopted unanimously by the UN Gen- eral Assembly. The ineptitude of the United Na- tions is, of course, partly due to the vaccilating attitude of some of its leading members. For instance, Prime Minister Nehru of India was quick to charge Britain and France with "naked and clear aggression which would not be tolerated" when they went into Egypt. But he had not a word to say when the Russian hordes swarmed into Hungary and crushed: the aspira- tions of that people for freedom. In- deed, his country abstained from vot- ing on the resolution which condemned Russia's aggression. It had been the hope of the found- ers of the Me that the pressure of world opinion against aggressors would hall aggression. The record shows how false that premise was. World opinion, without the backing of armed force, would not have halted the Red aggres- sion in South Korea. World opinion, no matter how strong, will halt the Rus- sian scheme of crushing any attempt on the part of her satellities to free themselves from domination. We live in a world in which force is the only thing understood by those who would dominate it. The time ray come when the power of world opinion will have to be reinforced by actions which speak more clearly and loudly than words. Wear Poppy For Remembrance This weekend Canada, along with other countries of the Commonwealth will be observing the annual season of Remembrance. Originated to mark the cessation of hostilities in the First World War on November 11, 1918, Re- membrance Day is now set apart as a day on which to honor the sacred mem- ory of close to 100,000 Canadians who sacrificed their lives in the two world wars which have marred this century. In Oshawa as elsewhere, there will be solemn services of remembrance at the city's war memorial and in churches. Closely linked with the services of Remembrance is the custom of wear- ing & blood-red poppy, the traditional of sacrifice; on that day. Ever since it eame into being 80 years ago, the Canadian Legion has sponsored an annual Poppy Day, on which poppies are sold on the city's streets to be worn as a token of remembrance. That is the fundamental purpose of Poppy Day--to give every citizen the oppor- tunity of showing their tribute to the honored dead by the wearing of a poppy. In addition to that, two useful ser- vices are rendered by the buying and wearing of a poppy. The poppies to be sold on the streets of Oshawa on Sat- urday are products of the Vetcraft Shops of Canada, where they are made by disabled veterans with no other means of livelihood. Secondly the net proceeds of Poppy Day, after paying the Vetcraft Shops for the poppies, go into the Poppy Fund administered as a sacred trust by the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion. This fund is used to provide assistance to veterans in need and distress, to provide comforts for veterans in hospital, and to help them in time of sickness. Because of the worthy nature of these causes, as well as because of the unspoken tribute to the dead symboli- zed by the wearing of a poppy on Re- membrance Day, we urge all our read- ers to be sure to buy a poppy on Sate urday and wear it on Sunday. Parliament Should Be Called These are grave days in the history of the world. No one can tell just how grave they may become at any moment. There are momentous decisions which have to be made by the governments of many nations, decisions which may affect the welfare and safety of their people. Under these circumstances, it is not good enough that the Canadian gov- ernment should attempt to carry the ' load on its own shoulders without the full discussion of grave decisions by the representatives of the Canadian people. For this reason, it is imperative that the Canadian Parliament should be called into session at once. It is true that the Canadian government has the power to carry on by order-in-council, and even to commit Canadian troops to a United Nations force to police Egypt. But any such action should be taken only with the full authority of the Parliament of Canada. No matter how much confidence the Editorial Notes Must be an election in the offing. Some city fathers who used to pass by on the other side are now stopping to smile at us. The Daily Times-Gazette T. L. WILSON, Publisher ana General Manager. M. MGINTYRE HOOD, Editor.

DAILY AVERAGE NET PAID CIRCULATION FOR OCTOBER 13,937 people of Canada may have in the ca- pacity of its government to deal with the present situation, the matters now coming before it are of so serious a na- ture as to justify calling Parliament into session. Thus the people of Canada would have the assurance that these matters would be discussed fully and freely by their parliamentary represen- tatives. John Diefenbaker, candidate for the vacant leadership of the Progressive Conservative party, has issued a de- mand that parliament meet immediate- ly for discussion of Canada's policies in the critical events taking place in the world. We agree with that demand. This is not a time at which the people's rep- resentatives should be left sitting at home while grave decisions are being made behind the closed doors of the cabinet room. The voice of the people, through their parliamentary represen- tatives, must be heard.

A Cabinet Minister asserted definitely that all his colleagues approve, without reser- vation, the attitudes of Mr. St. Laurent, although the prime min- ister had not placed before the cabinet the demand which he de- sired to formulate that we should retire from the Commonwealth." That paragraph is translated from a report which just ap- peared in the French-Canadian newspaper '"'Le Droit". It was a report which few . English-speak- ing Canadians could understand, and which even fewer would be likely to see. When it was trans. lated into English and repeated, the prime minister issued a de- nial There was no doubt, however, that many prominent cabinet min- isters--perhaps the whole cabinet --felt very angry at Britain and very worried by developments in the Middle East AR? CC "RIPTION? They hastened to this opinion partly from fear and partly from ignorance, I believe. I say from fear, because they foresaw the ne- cessity, so politically unattractive in Quebec, to decide whether or not to join in the war which might devel And from ignor- ance, because the true but little. publicised facts of the whole Egypt-Israeli friction and Suez Canal dispute place Britain on the side of the angels, and the United States among the goats. Britain was impelled to her ac- tion not only by treaty rights but by treaty obligations. These obli- gations were shared by France and the United States. Only the former showed the diplomatic honesty to meet those obligations But our leaders did not point out Britain's rights and duty; they did not remind us that Brit- ain and France were filling the vacuum created by the failure of all the United Nations to imple- ment the 10-year-old Article 43 of the U.N. Charter This article called for the formation, as soon as possible, of an international po- lice force, to do exactly the work which Britain and France set out to do in the Israeli invasion of Egypt. Instead of thus informing us, our leaders aligned Canada with the critics of Britain, led by Soviet Russia and the fickle United States. i The Liberal party's foreign pol- icy is based upon the conception of Canada serving as the keystone of the arch between London and Washington, That is fine so long as the twin pillars of that arch remain close together. But when they are thrown apart, as by the Dulles-inspired roller-coaster of inconsistent diplomacy, then the keystone is apt to find itself crashing ignominiously to the ground. CANADA---NEW LEADER The great opportunity ahead of Canada may well be based, not upon the increased international stature of Washington, but upon the fast-growing international sig- nificance of Ottawa itself, As the former British Commonwealth and Empire feels the reins of gov- ernment from London progressiv- ely loosening, the leadership of the new Commonwealth partner- ship would preferably shift away from London. Ottawa could cert- ainly, within the next two genera- tions, become the hub of that world-wide association of sister nations. This vision does not lie behind the Liberal government's behav- ior in the Middle East crisis, me- tooing Washington. But this vision does lie behind the consistent thinking evident in speeches by the foreign affairs expert of the Progressive Conservative party, John Diefenbaker. In this view of the Common- wealth of Tomorrow, its wide in- terests, its world position, its freedom and its freed trade con- trast vividly with the narrower possibilities of satellitism to Wash- ington, In this view, John Diefen- baker takes a position more ap- pealing than Pearson's. The pay-off of this vision is at- tractive to all Canadians. This new imperialism, with Canada at the top of the pyramid, is espec- ially attractive among French- Canadians who have noticed the trend. With their background, with their thinking based on their motto: "Our master, the Past," this mid-Twentieth. Century im- perialism offers Canada more scope for security, pride, peace, prosperity and position than the alternative, which in economies and diplomacy is vassaldom to the United States 5 FOR BETTER HEALTH Pregnancy Troubles Can Often Be Averted HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD In most cases, complications during pregnancy can be avoided with good prenatal care, started as soon as two months menstrual periods have been missed t's best. however, to be on the sa'e side to be able to recognize signs which might indicate trouble for the mother-to-be or her un- born baby. A timely call to the doctor at the first indication of such unfavorable symptoms prob- ably can avert any danger to yourself or the baby. FIRST SYMPTOM Bleeding from the vagina is generally the first symptom of a miscarriage. This is usually ac- companied by abdominal cramps or pain ; If these symptoms appear, call your doctor at once and then go to bed and stay there until he gives you specific instructions, STRENUOUS EXERCISE Most miscarriages occur during the second or third months. I strongly urge you expectant mothers to avoid any unusual physical stress during these periods. Miscarriages frequently ocur after strenuous exercise or But there's one thing I definite- ly want you to understand. Many miscarriages are caused by the faulty structure of the fetus. Such a miscarriage simply is nature's way of stopping a pregnancy which probably could not be suc- cessfully completed anyway. Persistent headaches, blurring of vision, swelling of hands, face, or legs; scanty urine, and sudden or excessive gain in weight may be sympioms of toxemia of preg- nancy and should also be imme- diately reported to your doctor. GAIN IN WEIGHT Incidentally, you can expect to gain an average of about 20 pounds during the entire course of a normal pregnancy at the rate of about one-half pound a week. If these early signs of miscar- riage or of toxemia are reported to your physician immediately, serious complications can almost always be prevented. QUESTION AND ANSWER D.

McINTYRE HOOD Belore the end of this montk, the electors of Oshawa will be making nominations of those who will be candidates in the munici- pal elections, Less than a month from now, the elections will be all over, and those who will take charge of the city's affairs for the foilowing year will be known. There are a few things which should be borne in mind by all citizens as we approach this im- portant period in the life of our community. They are things to which our citizens give far too little consideration, even ab elec- tion time, when, as a matter of fact, every elector should be just as keenly interested in civic af- fairs as those who have allowed their names to go on the ballot paper. Oshawa is a growing and ex- panding community, It is in every way a modern city. The problems that it has to face in the next year or two will be even greater than any that have had to be faced in the past. To deal with shem will require on all our elective civic bodies men of capacity for dealing with large problems and of doing business on a large scale. OSHAWA IS BIG BUSINESS As was indicated when the tax collector made his report recent- ly, the affairs of the city of Osh- awa have become big business. The city council and board of education are charged with the Now that civic elections Are again in the offing The perennial question Of how to persuade More of our people to Get out and vote on Election day once again Engages our attention. One of the most difficult Things to understand is Why people who claim to Prize their heritage of Freedom don'é think Enough about their Obligations to take part In making it operative. Earlier in our histor Men were willing to die For the privilege of voting And even now in the Countries like Hungary And Poland many are Losing their lives in the Fight for that privilege. We cannot feel proud Of the quality of our Citizenship when most of Our electors refuse to Exercise the right which Was won for them in Bygone days through The blood of others, We are all responsible For our own attitude Towards civic affairs, But if we are to be Citizens worthy of the name We must make sure we Vote on el n day. Russ Wants UN To Halt Invasion LONDON (AP) -- Russia's de- fence minister in Moscow today called on the United Nations fo crush the Anglo-French-Israeli in- vasion of Egypt and said Russian troops are ready to join any force set up for the purpose. Marshal Georgi Zhukov's state- ment, broadcast by Moscow radio, was made several hours after Britain and France had announced conditional acceptance of a UN cease-fire order. He made no ref- erence to the cease-fire in urging the use of force by the UN against the invaders. Speaking before a mass rally in Moscow's Red Square celebrating the 39th anniversary of the Oc- tober Revolution, the wartime Soviet hero said: "The Soviet Union calls upon the United Nations resolutely to stop the armed aggression of Brit- ain, France and Israel against Egypt and actively to support the Arab peoples in their struggle for freedom and independence. 'As regards the Soviet Union, she is prepared, in accordance with a UN decision, to take a real part with her armed forces in the liquidation of this aggression." Zhukov's speech renewed de- mands for intervention in Egypt voiced two days ago by Premier Bulganin. It seemed to emphasize, however, that Russia would not step into the fighting without UN backing. Notes by Bulganin to Britain and France had left some ob- servers in doubt as to the latter point, There had been some fears that Russia would intervene by herself in the fighting or send "volunteers" on an unofficial basis. In the same speech Zhukov de- fended the use of Russian troops to put down the uprising in Hun- gary. 'The Patriots of people's Hun- gary, together with the Soviet Army units summoned to the aid of the revolutionary workers' and peasants' government, has reso- lutely put an end to reaction and fascism in Hungary," he said. Moscow Sees Plans Of Colonialists Failing LONDON (Reuters) -- Moscow radio, commenting today for the first time on the cease-fire in Egypt, said it meant 'the utter collapse of the colonialists' plans" resulting from "the heroic resist- ance of the Egyptian people and the pressure of world public opin- ion." The commentator, Valentin Zorin, said the Anglo-French and the Israeli forces had been "forced to retreat." British Embassy was set on fire poried injured but no embazsy personnel were hurt. The crowd surged to the house of French Ambassador Jean Bri- onval, tore down the French flag and stoned out the windows of the house. Brionval was penned up in the house until the crowd moved away. Strong protests sre planned Several demonstrators were re-by the two governments. responsibility of handling over four million dollars of the tax- payer's money every year. And $hat amount is growing annually by leaps and bounds. To handle the affairs of a corporation which has an annual cash turnover of over four million dollars is some- thing which requires men of business acumen and far-sighted vision. Further, on an assessment basis, Oshawa has a capital value of 'close to $80 million dollars. Considering the basis on which assessment is figured, however, the capital value of the city fs probably three times thas amount. In round figures, it would probab- ly amount to a quarter of a billion dollars. That is big money. And one can readily understand that it takes people of more than average ability to do a sound job of administering the affairs of this huge corporation, COMMUNITY HAS CHANGED Since the days when this com- munity was first planned and built up, the daily lives of our citizens have been altered from "'hitching-post, horse and buggy" requirements, to a motorized era in which two-thirds of the com- munity is rolling on wheels, to and from work, to places of amusement and for social affairs. This change of habits creates many of the problems which have to be met by every com- munity, and particularly so by Oshawa. It is costly to provide the present-day requirements of the public, for it means changing much of the physical framework of the city as it was built in the early days. Streets which were suitable for the community of 25 years ago are entirely inadequate today. Other facilities which were ample for the Oshawa of 25 years ago are today outdated, and con- sideration has to be given to modernizing shem. There are un- mistakable signs that Oshawa will continue to grow, and the manner in which it grows de- pends very largely on those who are elected to ils civic bodies. PUBLIC INTEREST NEEDED These are good and suflicient reasons why the people of Oshaita should give serious and careful study to the question of eivic government. They are she share- of this quarter-billion cor. poration with an annual turnover of over four million dollars. They should be greatly concerned over Dusinges. soteeprises. ooufiigg 5 e S. oug consideration must impress upon every citizen the necessity of having sound business policies followed by the city council and the heads of departments. These are just as important to a city as they are to a business or' industrizl enterprise. Faced with expansfon, a private business concern makes sure that it se- cures the best men possible for its administration. It does not select its key personnel from the untried and inexperienced, hoping that everything will turn out for the best. : For all of these reasons, it cannot be urged too strongly that all of our citizens should take the management of their civic affairs as a personal responsibility. This can only be if we have candi- dates come forward who are well equipped either by business ex- perience or council experience, so that they will be able to cope with the major problems which will have to be dealt with by those who are charged with the administration of the city's af- fairs. QUEEN'S PARK Committees Are Under Criticism By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent fo The Daily Times-Gazetie TORONTO -- Committees have been getting their whacks in the Toronto press. Both the Toll Roads and Air Pollution commiftees have been criticized for intending to travel some more before writing their reports, There has been considerable misunderstanding, or lack of in- formation, behind both criticisms. And in each case the writers of the pieces concerned, one would assume, have not been too close to their subject. HAVE WEAKNESSES There can be criticism of the committees In both ceses they are Sealing with highly technical subjects a there is a question whether they should have been appointed at all in the first place. Commission studies might have been more de- sirable, There has been some doubt whether either committee was syf- ficiently organ at the start. Both have wandered. And the attitude of some mem- bers of the Toll Roads Commit- tee has been strange; they have given the impression of consider- ing themselves prosecuting coun- sel rather than investigators. But still these aren't any rea- sons why the jobs they are doing up to their capacities should be stopped before they are finished. The Air Pollution Committ: has travelled extensively. oe There was some criticism when it went on an extensive foray to California last year. This probably was open to erit- icism, but for the extent of the junket rather than the locale. There is no question that if smog is being studied California fs one of the best places to go and study it. Concrete steps have been taken there. : For the rest of the way the bal- ance of the committees travell- ing has been within the province, surveying local conditions. There there can he no objection to this. That is its job.
