THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE Published by Times-Gazette Publishers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa, Ont, Page 4 Tuesday, October 14, 1958 Support For Distinctive Canadian Flag Increases The Canadian flag question was rais- ed again at last week's annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. What is significant is not so much that a resolution calling for a distinctve flag was approved as that there was so little opposition to it. Not so many years ago even a mention of such a flag would have started a first-class ruckus, It does not matter much that the Chamber's resolution called for a flag that would be free of any symbol em- blematic of either Britain or France. What is interesting is this evidence of the growth of Canadian support for a distinctive Canadian flag, The Chamber is representative of 783 communities across the country, with a total estima- ted membership of 130,000, To these can be added all the other organiza- tions that have plumped for a Canad- ian flag. All of which makes it inevi= tablelsthat in the very near future the politiddans who have been assiduously ducking the flag question will have to do something about it. The CCC is on the right track in pro= posing a distinctive flag, wholly Cana=- dian. To try to insert bits and pieces of other flags would be to stir racial antagonisms, to blur national pride, to lessen the symbolism for many hun- dreds of thousands of Canadians, and to produce what would inevitably be an artistic abortion, Postwar surveys of public opinion have shown a steadily increasing sup- port for the Canadian flag idea, parti= among younger Canadians born in this conutry and free from any divided loyalties. There is a mass of evidence that a substantial majority of Canadians sup= port the demand for a distinctive flag.

Some reassuring facts were brought to light, but the net ) - i 'was a fuller realization 'of what the members of the Committee have been patiently insisting all along -- that a greater effort on behalf of disabled Ca- nadians is needed.

After rehabilitation, this same group is expected to earn more than $1,800,000 in the first year of employ= ment, Mr, Campbell summed up: "When we add to this their personal satisfaction in beng able to provide for their own needs, we have some idéa of the advantages that will flow from this program when we reach the desirable goal of 7000 or 8000 persons rehabili= tated every year."

Long ridiculed and widely dis- trusted for his "brinkmanship" manner of dipiomacy, he has come closer than any other man to provoking the third and finally destructive world war. This is one extreme view of Dulles. The other is the opinion that he has been wise and courag- eous in maintaining that there must be no appeasement of the Communist leaders. The sane middle view must surely be that Dulles has chosen particularly weak ground for his stand. His attitude to the China question has been inflexible and unyielding. He will not recognize Mao Tsetung as the ruler of mainiand China; he continues to regard the outnumbered, out- driven and out-dated regime of Chiang Kai-shek -as the rightful Lhinese government, which he believes should be assisted to re- capture mainland China from its base in Formosa. THREAT TO CANADA Dulles might as reasonably or- der the U.S. fleet to assist the government of France, operating from the base of the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, to recap- ture Quebec So Dulles remains adamant, acting as if a void existed in Peking, the capital of China. He will not recognize the Mao gov- ernment; he will not agree to the Mao government representing China at the United Nations; he will not agree to the neutraiiza- tion of the armed camp in For- mosa, which to China is as irri- tating, as irresponsible and as ineffective as a mosquito buzzing a buffalo To aggravate matters, Dulles has launched military interven- tion against mainland China, by sending U.S. ships and planes to convoy Chiang's supply ships re- inforcing his garrisons on the little islands near China's coast. Yet he has bluntly told Chiang that he is "foolish" to place so many of his troops on those off- shore isiands; and his boss, Presi- dent Eisenhower, has indicated that this is military stupidity. It is recognized that nothing short of a nuclear onslaught can silence the mainland batteries shelling the islands, and only the U.S. can deliver such an attack. Dulles evidently believes that the Chinese would climb down in the face of this threat. Or, failing this, that the Russians would abandon their aliies, and not come to their aid with nuclear retaliation, Finally, Dulles seems to reason, if Russia should re- taliate, and hence launch the widely-feared nuclear Armaged- don, the U. 8. would enter the third world war alerted militarily --with no risk of a nuclear Pearl Harbor--and enjoying a decisive edge in nuciear weapons. U.S. FALLING BEHIND American intelligence believes that the Russian stockpile of in- tercontinental rockets with atomic warheads is yet too small to knock out the munitions cap- acity of the U.S.A. Yet the Amer- ican Strategic Air Force could knock out Russia with its H- bombs. Two or three years from now, Russia's growing supply of ICBMs will tilt that balance. So if a previous war is to be launched against Russia, now is the time to do it in American military thinking. But this reasoning overlooks Russia's present abundant supply of shorter - range rockets fitted with nuclear warheads and poised in batteries in East Germany aimed at Britain, and at the U.S bases there. Within hours of war breaking out between the two atomic giants, Britain would be an uninhabited and uninhabitable rubble. Further, Russia has the biggest fleets of bombers and submarines ever assembled. Russia would use both to launch atomic attacks at US.A. across Canada. The undefended and obsolescent DEW-line would be a sitting duck, after whose destruction bombers could roam undetected cross Canada. U.S.A. appears to be placing the very existence of her two closest allies in jeopardy, in a cause which has little support in either country. Nothing but 'ex- termination can face the peoples of the world until Dulies retires to some terrestrial or celestial Valhalla, and U.S.A. revises its foreign policy by abandoning its unrealistic belief that Chiang is a victimized Red Riding Hood deserving chivalrous rescue. QUEEN'S PARK Different Views Of Power Supply By DON O'HEARN Special Correspondent te The Daily Times-Gazetie TORONTO--Ontario Hydro and Premier Frost should get to- gether and sweat out a common agreement on the economic facts of life. As has been mentioned before at present hydro is engaged in a great promotion program for new business. As part "of the program it has spread 'scare reports through its local public utilities that it needs new 'markets or it will have sur- plus power The campaign has been quite frankly aimed at the advent of natural gas and to the observer has been quite silly. It has seemed more tempera- mental than practical For years the Commission has been desperately trying to keep up with the demand for electric- ity It finally was forced into steam generation and over the vears we had warning after warning about how expensive this was, And the caution that rising demand meant in the future it would be more and more expensive Then overnight--and it was to all purposes that -- there was a change of tune. There was a iroduction. BEST USE What does Mr. Frost say? He is still concerned about a power shortage. Speaking to the big industrial development conference here he spent a large part of his time dealing with the power question. In the next twenty years, he said, the demand woyld grow to twenty times present capacity. He then pointed out that not all of these requirement; would have to be met from electric power. "It is welcome," he said, "In fact it is a turning point in our history, that these staggering power requirements can be al- leviated, if we use good sense, by a planned and economic use of oil, natural gas and atomic power." And then he added pertinent paragraph 'We should plan to use eieciric power generated from water or threat of over- this very BYGONE DAYS 20 YEARS AGO C. F.

They mainly support the Government, the rich and the poor--and, in a way, themselves, That hanger-overers are in a terrible and desperate condition is evidenced by their willing- ness, even eagerness. to take any kind of goshawful remedy for a hangover anybody happens to suggest.

Where it is inefficient to use power so generated then we should turn to other fields-- oil, gas etc. This will enable us to have low-cost power. This will enable us to use our power re- sources in the most efficient and effective way. This will enable us to conserve our credit for the very needed requirements of the future. One wonders what hydro on its ivory cloud thinks of that. MUNICIPALITIES TOO The premier also had a word for municipalities that are buiid- ing dreams about gas distribu- tion He said: 'I underline 'to you that upon provincial and muni- cipal credit a great deal of the future depends. I urge municipal- ities not to dilute their credit but to use it for the things that mu- nicipalities should and must do, and encourage private industries fo take up thé balance of the load. Some 29 percent of the women, and only 9 percent of the men questioned, thought their mothers were. "strict and controlling." On the other hand, 23 percent of the men, only 9 percent of the women, felt their fathers were strict and controlling. Unhappy marriages were equal- ly gommon among both men and women alcoholics. Often both re- ported being married to problem drinkers. There is a difference, though, in the average age the men and women began drinking and when they first sought help. The men in the study took their first drink at an average age of 17, while Yale Releases Study On Women Alcoholics the women waited until nearly 21. The men showed up at a clinic for treatment after an average of 12.3 years of problem drinking. The women sought help more quickly, after 9.8 years of drink- . Devel t of alcoholism In women, it appears, is more rapid. More than half the women re- ported they drank alone. Only one of five of the men was a solitary drinker. The women often drank at home during the day and went to bed with a bottle. The reasons given by the men and women for their drinking present a distinct difference.
