The Oshawa Simes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa,, Qnt. : Page 6 Thursday, June 9, 1960 Backdoor Entry Scandal When Others Kept Out The indignation and the criticism which naturally arises up after the reve- fations of a sordid immigration fraud must be directed to the proper object, the Ottawa Journal rightly points out. The 11,000 Chinese, so desperate to come to this country, are not to be con- demned for coming illegally. They are now to be pitied and welcomed. The object of criticism must be the laxity of administration which allowed the racket to continue undetected for 10 years. The exposure now, grateful as we are for the RCMP's work, is too late to be reassuring. The Journal goes on: The scandalous aspect of it all is that thousands in many lands ache to come to Canada and are thrwarted from legal entry by the stiffness of our immigration laws. Yet by the back door, at great profit to unscrupulous dealers in human misery, came enough immigrants to populate a fair-sized town. Illegal entry into a country is not new and perhaps it is inevitable, Forged passports and spurious immigration papers have been used before. What is disturbing, however, is the scale of the exposed racket. It indicates a serious weakness in administration somewhere. What have the police and the immigra- tion authorities been doing? The Minister of Immigration, Mrs. Fairclough, who could hardly have calfed the fraud anything else but "large-scale," commendably has taken a humanitarian approach to the illegal immigrants. They are not the guilty. They are the vitcims, living in terror of exposure, The guilty ones are the shrewd proprietors of the racket, the blackmailers and the exploiters of des- peration and fear. But the investigation also must reveal how such a massive circumvention of our laws was possible. Perhaps too we should have a look at the immigration laws themselves. Fine Export From UK. Immigrants can have an important effect on a nation's resources. It is reason- ing therefore, to learn about the general qualifications of people arriving from Britain. There are fewer unskilled per- sons and more who have a higher stan- dart of educational attainment coming here from the United Kingdom. This is borne out by information given in the latest report of Britain's Overseas Migration Board. The board has examined statistical material made available by Canada for 1958 and finds that of the 24,777 migrants from Bri- tain in that year, 11,136 or 45 per cent were housewives, children and other dependants. Of the balance of 13,641 described as "workers" of both sexes, 3,474 or about 25 per cent, were placed in the category of professional occupa- tions -- engineers, doctors, architects, chemists and teachers. The . above-average education of a considerable portion of British immi- grants to Canada in 1958 is illustrated by the following breakdown: Of the total immigrants coming to Canada during that period. Britain supplied 46 per cent of all those in professional occupations. This included 55 per cent of all electrical engineers, 58 per cent of all teachers and professors, 51 per cent of all physicians and surgeons and 59 per cent of all nurses. When it came to clerical occupations, 50 per cent of all immigrants in this category were from Britain. The UK. also provided 14 per cent of all workers in the manufacturing, mechanical and construction group, only 8 per cent of all domestic servants and only 4 per cent of all general laborers. These figures indicate Canada's attrac- tions and opportunities for Britishers in the higher educated classes. A review of the figures indicates that of the so- called "white collar" workers seeking a new home in Canada, the United King- dom in 1958 supplied 7,889 or 45 per cent of the entire intake of these cate- gories for the year. It has been repeated many times lately that education will play an ps portant part in the success of individuals in Canada in the future when advanced processes and automation will charac- terize industrial and commercial pro- gress. Canada can be happy that Bri- tain is exporting so much ability to this country. Survey Of Arthritics With the co-operation of the Ontario Retail Pharmacists' Association, the On- tario Division of the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society has planned a province-wide survey to obtain a more accurate estimate of the extent of the arthritis problem in Ontario. On the results of this survey the society will base future plans for improved and ex- tended service. June has been designated as "Arthritis Registration Month", While it is known that there are ap- proximately one hundred: forms of arthritis and rheumatic diseases, there are no recent figures on their relative incidence in Canada. The only available data was obtained nine years ago through a survey made by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Health and Welfare. Official surveys indicate these diseases totally or severely disabled 50,000 Canadians; partially disable a further 115,000; cost Canadian workers and business 9,000,000 work days annually, with a resulting loss of $75,000,000 each year in wages alone.

The fact that in ten years Canada's population has increased from 14 mil- lion to 17% million and the gross na- tional product increased by 75%, sug- gests that the rheumatic diseases pose an increasing problem, not only to health and happiness, but to the national economy as well. For the purpose of aiding and further- ing the society's program to assist suffer- ers from the rheumatic diseases, CARS wants present-day facts. With the sup- port of thé Ontario Pharmacists' Asso- ciation, the Ontario Division plans to obtain these facts as well as to give factual information by a selected area, confidential, free registration of arthritis sufferers through their drug stores. "Perhaps the most important feature of this registration is that it will enable the society to get factual information in the hands of the sufferers", says Dr, D. C. Graham, Medical Director. Other Editor's Views HAPPY LOOKING RUSSIANS (Kitchener-Waterloo Record) The Soviet show, which apparently concentrates on happy-looking working people, is the product of a system which denies real creative freedom. The ab- stract movement may sometimes produce strange concoctions, but without its freedom it is hard to see how anything of value can be created. Bible Thought Let thy garments be always white.-- Ecclesiastes 9:9, The virtue of purity doesn't seem to be prized too highly in the world today. Nevertheless, it is recognized that the one who has soiled his garments has cheapened his life. "I would be pure, for there are those who care" QUEEN'S PARK Liquor Advertising ~ Code Made Broader By DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- The decision has been made in favor of broader kquor advertising. It has been more than 12 yeérs in the making. And it unquestion- ably has been one of the hardest Premier Frost has had to make up his mind on. But in the end there was no choice. OTTAWA HAND-OUT Ontario did not have to really tackle liquor advertising until 1947. Prior to 1942 there just wasn't any in the province. Then the federal government took control and permitted very limited promotion. This was handed over to the province in 1947. And ever since it has been a troublesome child that was not really wanted. COULDN'T CONTROL Mr. Frost personally would per- mit absolutely no liquor advertis- ing in Ontario. But he long ago recognized this was not possible. Advertising originating in the. province could he controlled. But the flood of it coming in through American radio and tele- visicn and periedicals published in the U.S. and other provinces was beyond policing. SURVEY TED Even recoghizing this he held out for a long time in hope that some miracle) might resolve the situation. Three years ago he had an in- tensive survey made of the amount of liquor advertising com- ing into the province and the amount of Ontario advertising money going outside it. The results of this survey never were announced. And while they apparently swayed the premier they did not force him into an tuiright de- cision. ALL TOGETHER One would gather they were so impressive he had his liquor com- missioner, W. H. Collings, set out to organize a conference of the liquor commissioners of Canada. The main point of the confer- ence was to develop a national ad- vertising sade which would be adopted by all provinces. At least if the step had to be taken let everybody else be in the same boat. And let the blow to the tem- perance people in the province be softened. MORE RIDICULOUS Mr, Collings got a code drafted. But while he got considerable backing he never could get full agreement, At the same-time the situation in the province was getting more and more ridiculous, U.S. magazines were beginning to print more and more "Ca- nation' editions which carried floods of illegal advertising into the province, for one thing. So the premier made his choice. REPORT FROM UK. Boycott of Movie Ordered By Union By M, McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Corresppndent For The Oshawa Times LONDON--*'The Angry Silence" the sensational British film built around the boycott of a factory worker by his striking fellow- employees, Is itself being sub- jected to a boycott. And the men who are now boycotting the film are factory workers who helped in its production and who appear n it. This bizarre situation has de- veloped in the town of Ipswich, where some of the authentic scenes in the film were taken as factory workers were going to and from their work. The 20,000 trade unionists in that town have been told by the Ipswich Trades Council, representing all the i= town's nmions, to stay away from the motion picture theatres where the film is to be shown. They made this decision after giving consideration to a large collec- tion of reviews of the film, which tells the story of a man who is sent to Coventry by his work mates. SHOWING IN IPSWICH "The Angry Silence" is booked to be shown at an Ipswich-motion picture theatre. <A spokesman for the theatre which will be showing it is very much concern- ed at the situation. He says: "Obviously, if 20,000 men and their families obey the union's order and stay away, the film would be shown at a loss." Part of the film was made in Ipswich last fall. The cameras were set up in a big engineering works in Ramelagh Road, Ips- wich. Workmen were filmed at their benches, and pouring out of the factory gates. SEEN AS BETRAYAL According to the president of the Traces Council, L. C. Eaves, the workers shown in the film were paid by the film company as extras, But he still regards their appearance in this parti- cular film as betrayal. He said: "It is a vile thing getting these loyal union men to take part un- wittingly in an anti-union film, Refore filming started, the shop stewards were assured that there would be nothing in it detrimen- tal to the trade union move- ment." David Reavell, works director of the factory in which the scenes were shot, takes a different view ot the film. He said: "Although I have not yet seen the film, I was given a copy of the script to read. It seemed to me to be not an attack on the unions, but on foolish individuals, I shall certainly see the film when it comes to Ipswich." PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A farmer says the only 8-hour work day he has is when he takes Saturday afternoon. off. "Another reason the automobile was certain to replace the horse is that no one was ever kicked by a car". -- Boston Globe. The man who wrote that never had a Model T backfire when he was trying to hand-crank it, Has medical science ever tried to get germs to kill off one an- other by sowing seeds of dissen- sion among them? President Eisenhower says es- pionage is 3 distasteful busi The workers involved in mak- ing the film are on the horns of a dilemma. They want to see themseives on the motion picture screen, but they are loyal union men, and do not want to go against the dictates of the Ips- wich Trades Council. Tn LL BY-GONE DAYS ose B.
