She Dsharon Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 68 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont Page 4 Friday, June 12, 1959 French Atomic Desire Threatening The atomic-secrecy policy of the United States has long been an irritant to her leading allies. Other western nations, particularly the United King- dom and Canada, contributed much to the early work on the atomic bomb, but the U.S, government, through successive administrations has always at the in- sistence of Congress regarded atomie knowledge as the sole property of the United States. Even the emergence of the Soviet Union as a nuclear power did little to change that attitude, and only recently, after a thorough demonstration by Britain that a nation can become a nuclear power on its own account and after repeated representations by Can. ada, has the United States relaxed somewhat its rigid emphasis on secrecy. Now the policy is being attacked by France's de Gaulle Ww long wanted France to join the "atomic club". France's refusal to allow the stock- piling of nuclear weapons on her soil is part of the campaign .waged for more than a year to force her way into the exclusive club, There is considerable justification for de Gualle's stand, in principle, The unfortunate thing is that There's Been The image of Toronto as a sedate old lady of a city persists in other parts of Canada, it seems. Humorist Eric Nicol, for example, recently produced a col- umn in which he suggests that the in- vasion of deep-sea sailors (by way of the Seaway) will lighten Toronto's bur- den of "respectability." "There ic no doubt whatever," he says, "that Toronto has looked down her elegant, Empire-Loyalist nose at the roughneckery reported from Vancouver and Montreal, Screened like a dowager behind natural barriers, enjoying the equanimity of non-tidal water, Toronto has sniffed at the seaport cities, and to her sisters under the skin--Kingston and Oshawa -- has hissed, sotto voce, Slut!" From now on, however, Toronto will display some of the less flattering features of being 'cosmospolitan'." Alas poor Nicol. He is talking about a city that no longer exists. The Toronto of his memory -- or imagination -- dis- appeared during the second world war. It was replaced by a raucous and ugly city, a brawling and noisy city, a vio- Jent and booming city, a cosmopolitan wity that has attracted more immigrants Questioning K is a good idea from time to time to examine generally accepted ideas and question their validity. If the ideas are sound, they will survive any critical in- quiry, and if they are unsound their weaknesses will be revealed N. R. Crump, CPR president, did some questioning in a speech this week to the Investment Dealers' 'Association of Canada, He noted that public 'and business policies today reflect some basic assumptions concerning Canada's position in the world economy Sum- marized, the assumptions are: That the world economy reeds us more than we need it; that we in North America may enjoy unchallenged super- jority over the rest of the free world in industrial efficiency and in technological and managerial knowledge; that the United States will never pursue trade policies harmful to the growth of Can- ada's resoutce industries: that we are the repository of ultimate wisdom in the realm of fiscal and monetary policy that the mixed economy, in which state enterprise and. private enterprise func- tion side by not only a good thing in itself but also essential to national growth and prosperity These assumptions are at best half- truths, Mr. Crump declared He pointed out, for example, that "the expanding and efficient industrial complex of the United Kingdom Western - Europe has. made more intensely he Oshawa Times T.

France insists on becoming a nuclear power. It wants U.S. help, but if neces- sary, will do it alone. There is no reason to doubt that France would sue- ceed by itself, but such individual effort among allies is a highly wasteful pro- cess. The French will have to go over ground already covered by others, but still hidden from the uninitiated. If there is any justification for the policy of secrecy, it is that the atomic club membership 'should be kept as limited as possible. The U.S. policy is a poor way of achieving that limita- tion--what one nation has done, another can do if it has enough money and enough brains Limitation of membership in the atomic club would be a good idea, The more governments that have the power to start a nuclear war, the greater is the chance of such a war getting started The solution to the problem will be found in the field of diplomacy, not secrecy. The best possible solution, of course, would be an international agree- ment outlawing nuclear weapons. A Change than any other community in Canada-- that has at least 25,000 French-speaking residents, for example; that has more Latvians, Lithuanians and Esthonians than the rest of Canada put together, that has a big and expanding Italian col- ony, that is the publishing centre for at least a dozen foreign-language news- papers It is a city of traffic jums seven days a week, Nicol revives the "dead Sunday" myth--obviously he has not travelled Bloor or St. Clair or a score of other main Toronto arteries on a Sunday afternoon. He doesn't know about the soccer games and their attendant mob scenes Toronto may have 'been a haughty city, and sometimes an insufferabe city. But it had dignity and character. Now it has neither, ' There may have been a day when Toronto sneered at Oghawa. But now Oshawa and other neighboring com- munities are places of refuge, to which sane people flee when they feel their sanity threatened by the raucousness, rawness and civic constipation of the new Toronto, the Baghdad on the Don, Of Ideas rompetitive than at any time in Canada's history. No longer can it be taken for granted that demand stemming from the era of postwar austerity in those coun- tries will continue to provide a dynamic stimulus to Canadian trade." He reminded his listeners that the in- dustrial and economic leadership of North America i8 primarily the result not of our strength but of other people's weaknesses and misfortunes, such as the destruction and impoverishment brought about by World War II. These tempor- ary factors are rapidly vanishing. Then we have already seen how import quotas imposed by Washington can ad- versely affect Canada's mineral produc- tion, and how U.S. surplus disposal policies have affected the sale of Cana- dian farm products No longer can we assume with com- placency that the dollar is the only really sound and reliable currency in the world. The pound, the mark and several others have recovered their strength, and this recovery has a direct bearing on our own fiscal and monetary policy On the final assumption, Mr. Crump stated: "If public enterprise in Canada were subject to the same ground rules, including penalty for failure in meeting the test of the market place, then com- petition with private enterprise would be possible without prejudice to the principles of the market mechanism But if public enterprise has access to capital without regard to cost, then sound economic principles governing growth and progress are jeopérdized and an added burden is imposed on the taxpayer. Under such circumstances, the tendency is for the publicly-owned sector of the economy to expand, while the privately-owned sector, under the duress of unfair and unequal competi- tion for necessary capital, is placed in jeopardy."

McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON - Today was Com- monwealth Day on the terrace of the House of Commons, as hun- dreds of people from all parts of the Commonwealth assembled at a reception and tea. Ii was spon- sored jointly by the Royal Com- monwealth Society, the Victoria League and the Overseas League. The event was made pos- sible through the kindness of Sir Jocelyn Lucas, Bart, MP, who used his prerogative as a mem- ber of the House of Commons to make all the arrangements for this Commonwealth function As members of the Victoria League's London Branch, Bess and I were privileged to attend as guests, and it prov ided a most interesting social function Unfortunately, rain which fell in the early afternoon made it necessary to hold the reception and tea in the members' lounge overlooking the terrace, and fac- ing on to the River Thames. But the rain quickly cleared away and the sun shone again. So, after enjoying the sandwiches cakes, strawberries and cream and tea in the lounge, most of the guests wandered down to the terrace, and sat there in groups, watching the flow of wv.aterborne traffic moving up and down the River Thame: FEW CANADIANS J Strange to say, there were only a few Canadians on the list of guests, Most were from Australia, New Zealand and other distant parts of the Commonwealth | talked about that to one of the staff members of the Victoria League, and found that Cana- dians were in the minority in that organization. The reason given is that the large majority of Cana. dians coming over on a visit to the United Kingdom have their own relatives and friends in this country to help entertain them, s0 they have less need for the splendid services and facilities offered by the Victoria League than have visitors from more dis tant Commonwealth countries Regardless of their place of origin, however, the guests were a friendly crowd, and there was a free and easy spirit about the gathering which stamped it as de- cidedly different from the aver- age English reception. where it is rather difficult to break through the traditional wall of reserve IN THE COMMONS Because of the fact that we were to be at the reception and tea on the terrace, Bess and I decided to make an afternoon of it, and to sit in the Common- wealth gallery of the House of Commons and listen to the de- bates. We received quite a shock as we did so. Perhaps we chose the wrong afternoon, because it was an afternoon set aside for private members' motions. There was little interest in what was going on The motion under debate was one criticizing the government for oot doing more to alleviate the conditions of aged people in Brit- ain, with regard to allowances, housing and other amenities, and calling on the government to fi- nance 100 per cent a system of aged people's homes. The motion was, of course, moved by a So clalist member but we heard arguments pro and con. the gov- ernment reply being that it was constantly stepping up its pro- visions for the aged citizens, and was doing far more. for them than the Socialist party did when it was in power FEW MEMBERS THERE What surprised us was the com- plete lack of interest on the part of the bers of pari 1 Out of the 645 members of that House, the highest number in their seats at any one time was 17. There were 11 on the govern. ment side and six on the opposi- tion benches. At times, the num- ber dropped to 15 as members drifted in and out of the house, listened for a few minutes, and then left again Therc were more reporters in the press gallery, and far more spectators in the public gallery than there were members on the floor of the House Anoltier surprise for me was to see Mr. Selwyn Lloyd, foreign secretary, sitting through the de- bate as the minister in atten- dance. He had dashed over from Geneva from the foreign minis. ters' conference to attend the opening, earlier in the day, of the Atlantic Congress. And he had been pressed into service to sit in the House, almost the lone oc- cupant of the front bench most of the time, for this dreary debate, Under the custom in the Com- mons, there must always be one minister present to answer for the government and the foreign minister, apparently, was "it" for this afternoon SPLENDID SYSTEM Here we must mention the splendid public address system BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO A barbers' union was to be formed in the city, when 22 bar bers signed up and applied for a charter W. W. Moshier was awarded the contract for buiiding a band- stand at Lakeview Park for a tendered amount of $985. Mrs. W. E.

The com pany tendered an amount of $75 for the job The board of education adopted the following revised salary list for school teachers: $900 per an- num for women teachers with two years' experience until a maximum of $146; was reached, and $1200 minimum for male teachers with Increases to reach the maximum of $2000 which takes the words of the speakers to every corner of the chamber. There are microphones suspended from the ceiling to catch the voice of any member who is speaking. Fitted into the back of the members' benches, and the benches in the gallery, are 'small apertures, which give an individual listening post every person in attendance. One can lean back, with an ear to this small opening, and catch per- fectly every word' that is being spoken, This, we were told by an atten dant recently, has provided some amusing incidents. It is strictly against the rules for 2a member to go to sleep in the House of Com mons during a debate. On occa- sions, members who have been leaning back against the head rest or the henches, on being charged with going to sleep, re- torted, "Oh no, I was only lean ing back to listen to the loud speaker." Frankly, we would not have blamed the few in the house this afternoon if they had all gone to sleep. I nearly did. OTTAWA REPORT Canada To Enter Era Of Sain . By PATRICK NICHOLSON.

He at- tracted an audience twice the size of that which came to hear On. tario Premier Leslie Frost and TV star Bob Cummings the prev. ious evening; while the film South Pacific ran third as an evening attraction for Canada's assem- bled mayors. / THE RECORD SPEAKS "Industrial production in Can- ada reached a peak index of 150.6 in March 1957," Mr. Diefenbaker said. "It declined to 148.6 in De- cember of the same year. Recov- ery has brought the index to all- time peak of 160.9 where it stood in February of this year. Non- agricultural employment, which reached a peak of 5,081,000 in June of 1967, and dropped to 4,- 966,000 in February of 1958, rose in February of this year to a new high of 5,129,000 persons with jobs in non - agricultural industries. The latest figure for April of this year shows 5,664,000 persons with jobs, 127,000 more than a year ago." While many workers cannot find jobs unfortunately, we tend to overemphasize the negative by overlooking the trulv remarkable achievement that more people were in jobs in February this year, the month when seasonal per cent and steel production up 22 per cent.

"Perhaps the most striking fac- tor in the present economic clim- aie 8 the new spirit of Sptimisin which prevails in Canada," Mr. Diefenbaker said.
