The Oshawa Sines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 57 Simcoe St. S., Poge 4 Monday, December 22, 1958 Oshawa, Ont, 'More Than Food Needed By Afro-Asian Peoples A great many people in the western world have implicit faith in the theory that all we need to do to make peace- ~loving, democratic citizens of the peo- ple of have-not nations is to fill their "bellies. While it is generally true that a well-fed person is more amenable to reason than a hungry one, the theory Is an over-simplification, One has only to consider the failure of democracy in Afro-Asian eountries to understand why this is se, A few weeks ago the prime minister of the Sudan was deposed in a palace that saw military leaders the government, The Sudan a long list of countries that : have abandoned demoeracy and turned to Pakistan, Burma, Thailand, Indoresia, Iraq, Syria, Egypt.

REPORT London Shows Yule Spirit By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng) Correspondent For The Times LONDON ~ It ls doubtful if there is any city in the world in which the spirit and joy of Christmas are as abundantly ap- parent as in this old city of Lon. don, It is evident everywhere, The glow on the faces of the people 1s not all induced by the raw and chilly weather, It seems to come from within, to be gen- erated by the realization that the festive seagon of the year is here, We saw It in full bloom at Aus- tralia House when Sir Harold Gillett, the Lord 'Mayor of Lon- don, met light to what must be London's largest Christmas pud- ding, It is the annual gift to Lon. don of the Australian dried fruit growers, It weighs 160 pounds, Half of its weight is made up of dried fruits, Including, we were solemnly told, 121,450 currants, The pudding is being presented, for Christmas Day consumption, to the Four Score Club, London's organization of senior citizens, BOVEREIGN AS TOKEN Somebody at the function on Christmas Day will find on the pudding plate a golden sovereign, minted in Melbourne in 1896, the year of the beginning of the Aus- tralian dried fruit industry, This was started by two brothers called Chaffey. They had been doing irrigation work in Califor. nia, where conditions were simi. lar to those in Australia, and they were Invited there, They THE RED-NOSED REINDEER OTTAWA REPORT Y Move To Control Arctic Islands By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--Our government Is taking effective steps to ensure for Canada the natural riches and the strategic defence posi tions on the islands lying be tween our mainland and the North Pole That archipelago contains 40 very large islands, and an un counted number of smaller ones, The big ones range in size from Balfin Island, as large as Mani toba, to Alr Force Island, as large as Prince Edward Island The land area of the whole archipelago is slightly larger than the 523,860 square miles of our biggest province, Quebec; and the under-water continental shelf around those islands Is Al least equally large and probably contains rich oilfields, Under the recent Geneva agreement, that shelf belongs to whatever. nation has sovereignty over the adjoin. ing land Reasons of national pride, de- fence and Industrial wealth make it urgent that we should fulfil the requirements of International law to establish our sovereignty over our long-disregarded Arctic 1s lands, This sovereignty we claim on the double grounds that we inherited the British right by dis covery and that we should be en titled to any land discovered In the sector or triangle based on the width of our mainland and stretching up to the North Pole U.S. ASPIRATIONS "If we do not get up there soon and stay there, I can just visual ize, If the United Nations is still alive, the biggest debate going on about who owns the Arctle, hetween Russia and the United States." Those words were spoken this year, not by a Canadian but by American Senator Warren G Magnuson, chairman of the U.S Senate Committee on Commerce He went on to comment: "We have never established any ques tion of sovereignty In the Arctle yet," He was speaking on a recom mendation that $60,000,000 he * spent on a nuclear-powered ice breaker 'for constant operation m the Arctic areas, for all kinds of missions, not only military hut commercial or anything else." So, while we may feel confl- dent that we own the lands in side our sector of the Arctic, other countries obviously do not all consider that we have estab. lished our sovereignty As long ago as 1910, Senator P. Poirior urged our government to assert the undoubted jurisdie tion of Canada over all those Arctic lands, "1 attach great im- portance to the absolute uncon- tradicted and uncontradictable possession of the lands that lie to the north -of Canada proper," he said, describing the natural re sources in those islands, which were 'known to be rich in those days, and 10 times so today. He speculated that In years to come those islands, now covered with fee and snow, might again be come as habitable as "Green" Land was 700 years ago, He pointed out that Russia and U.S had "by fraudulent devices got possession of all Alaska, espe elally the panhandle, which Can ada should have" EFFECTIVE OCCUPATION "In the face of all this trickery, in the face of the importance that attaches to the possession of the Arctic land, it is time that the government should formally possess the undisputed territory and the territory which may be disputed," urged the senator "According to international law, Is not sufficient to ensure pos that navigators should discover a new land, or plant a flag over it; there must be con tinuous occupation, or possession renewed at certain intervals it session he government spokesman eountered with the ludicrous re tort that "one or two posts of the Northwest Mounted Police have heen set up on the mainland, to establish Jurisdiction over those Islands and waters." Fifteen years later, Hon, Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior, told the House of Com- mons that Canada claims all the northern territory between meri. dians 60 and 141 (roughly the lines Joining Glace Bay and Daw- son City with the North Pole), This was the formal presentation to the world of our 'sector theory" of Arctic sovereignty SUPPORT THEORY The Russians support this theory, because it also operates to their advantage as an Arctic power, The Americans da not recognize it, It has no basis In international law, which only rec ognizes sovereignty which has been acquired by discovery, con- quest or purchase, and which is maintained by "effective occupa- tion." But International law does give a country the limited right to claim any territory lying not more than 100 miles off its ex plored coasts Thus, apart from one or two RCMP posts and scattered trad ers and missionaries, we created no substantial Justification for our claims to sovereignty, Four years ago, our then prime min- ister ruefully admitted to Parlia ment that "apparently we have administered those vast territor. fes In an almost continuous state of absence of mind." Now, at the eleventh hour, our new government {8 moving fast to establish effective occupation of "our" Arctie, to proclaim our sovereignty there to all the world Satellite May Start War Congress Fears WASHINGTON (CP) that an unannounced launching could accldentally touch off nuclear war Is ex pressed in a report drafted by a congressional committee's staff, The report was prepared before the launching of the new Atlas satellite--a plan known before. hand to only 35 men But George J. Feldman, staff director for the House of Repre- sentatives' special committee on astronautics and space explora: tion, sald Saturday "The launching of Atlas gives particular moment to the report, The danger Is clear and present, as the committee staff pointed out." The report posed this question What If Russia or the US, mis. takes an unannounced satellite launching for a war missile and fires off a counter-attack? WOULD REQUIRE PLANS It also recommended an ans wer: Require advance filing of satellite flight plans Refore the Atlas took off even persons in the blockhouse thought it was to he another test of its qualities as an interchntinental ballistic missile.
