The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited, 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ont. Page 6 Tuesday, June 14, 1960 Castro Using Khrushchev For Diplomatic Hot-Foot Cuba's Premier Castro is in much the same position as a little boy who knows that grownups aren't supposed to strike children who play pranks, 'the Christian Science Monitor believes. The Monitor says: His recent announcement that Soviet Premier Khrushchev will visit Cuba-- plus broad hints that Chinese Premier Chou En-lai may follow--constitutes a sort of diplomatic hotfoot for Uncle Sam. The question is how serious a hotfoot is it? And How do Latin-American on- lookers interpret it? Many persons in the United States have jumped to the conclusion that the danger from a major Cuban-Soviet er Cuban-Chinese tie lies mainly in the field of mysterious submarine or missile bases. Such speculation tends to divert attention from more likely dangers: (1) that Dr, Castro ean be persuaded by his Marxist allies to act as a trans- shipper of arms to Communist-directed revolutionaries elsewhere im Latin America; and (2) that his newly estab- lished network of Cuban - propaganda offices and radio stations may sow anti- Americanism there, It is easy to see that these two areas might tempt the Cuban revolutionary hero. Since his rise to power he has gradually moved away from strictly in- ternal reform and begun dabbling in big-power politics--first as a declared neutralist, currently as a man deter- mined to give Moscow the benefit of the doubt and Washington doubt for every benefit. In the process, he has shown an in- treasing faith im the exportability of his revolution, which has meanwhile moved away from moderate socialist reforms toward arbitrary extremism. This is a harsh assessment of a re- .. As Prince Philip pointed out in New York last week, too many people think of Great Britain as a nation so steeped 0 history that it changes very little. Antiquity seems to be its very nature, with buildings revered and ancient customs perpetuated. Even its present government is "conservative" by name if not by mature. But in the world of business and trade Britain goes almost to she oppo- site extreme. Such a progressive spirit Has seen her take the austerity and dis- location of a devastating war in her stride and she has almost bounced back in the past decade to a leading place in world trade. According to the Economic Record, issued by the United Kingdom Informa- tion Service, industrial change is in- escapable for Britain if her peoples' living standards are to keep on rising. It says change is a eondition of full employment which ean hurt, tempor- arily, at least, the individuals and the areas committeed to industries whose capacity becomes surplus to demand. This is not a new problem. It reared ancient #s head in.the acute depression of the 1930's particularly in the areas where heavy industry was concentrated. Un- employment became so high that such areas were designated as "special areas" or as thy later became known, "develop- ment areas" and the government took various measures to attract new indus- tries to them) This policy has continued and been expanded in the post war years. The government has even gone so Fhe Oshawa Times Yoel.

But it is an assessment that is becoming more widely recognized among leaders in the hemisphere. And the Khrushchev visit tends to eonfirm it. But if this hot-foot is a symptom of something serious--and it is recognized as such by many Latin democratic leaders--what can be done? Certainly economic or military retelia- tion against Havana is not the answer. Dr. Castro still maintains wide support at home. His reform successes, loudly trumpeted, are still magnetically popu- lar with many eonstituents of the very democratic leftist reformers in Latin America who have themselves become disenchanted with Castro. United States intervention would martyrize Dr. Castro and reverse the eye-opening now going on. But there are several other fields for positive action: 1. The United States ean present more undistorted information about its support for reform and human rights, both by radio and in print in local languages of the landless and down- trodden. (It should not continue to let Moscow broadcast im Latin-American Indian dialects without eompetition.) 2. Working through the Organization of American States, Washington ean support a tightened arms limitation agreement (limitation, not prohibition). It ean help organize joint patrolling against sea- or air-borne arms smuggling. 3. Congress can give the President discretionary power to adjust sugar quotas should the hot-foot get too hot. 4. Washington ean do much more through eoordinated economic aid to help new democratic reform govern- ments gain support from the under- privileged and discontented. Allocation Of Indu stry far as to set up new towns so as to draw population away from eongested Lon- don and other cities. But, according to the article in the Economic Record, the problem has changed in degree and scope in these years of expansion. The latest figures show unemployment down to 1.8 per eent; development areas have felt the effects of prosperity and special prob- lems nn some parts have been largely solved. So the government has repealed earlier legislation with something more flexible, designed to 'induce firms which want to expand to go to less congested areas. In some cases, we are told, in- dustry is given power to acquire land, and build factories. Where they need it, some industries even are assisted with government grants. At the same time, the government cannot direct an mn- dustry to a eertain area, it ¢an restriet its ability to expand and so discourage its continuance in a congested area. Such an idea would be welcome mn some parts of Canada. So many indus- trial firms have felt that<ghey must loc- ate in metropolitan centres. Perhaps it was in the mind of Prince Philip when he sponsored the 1962 con- ference in this country to consider the human eonsequences of changing indus- trial environment in the Commonwealth and Empire. We trust that planners of the. conference who met with the prince this week in Toronto did not everlook iw Other Editor's Views Living Beyond Means (Windsor Star) We Canadians have been importing too much. It would be wrong, however, to lay the entire blame on Canadian eonsumers. The huge volume of imports eannot be accounted for whdlly by con- sumer purchases. Many Canadian indus- tries are bringing in large quantities of parts -- or even finished products. This economic situation offers a great chal- lenge to Canadians, consumers and manu- facturers alike. We cannot go on for ever living beyond our means.

GALLUP POLL UPHOLD THE RULES AND LIVE BY-GONE DAYS "T2-YEARS AGO Rev. Father P. Coffey was ap- pointed to the position of perma- nent priest of Holy Cross parish. More than 100 aged residents of Oshawa and district attended the Dr. T. E. Kaiser Memorial dinner at the Genosha Hotel. Dr. A. F MacKay accompanied the Ontario Regiment to Camp Borden as the medical officer. Dr. M. L. Morris took over his practice in Oshawa. W. H Moore, MP, announced that an airport would be estab- lished in Oshawa suburbs. Rev. W. R Stringer announced that his congregation at Christ Memorial Anglican Church had decided to build a new church. Major Rev. S. C. Jarreit was appointed chaplain of the Ontario Regiment. The Women's Association of 110th Toronto Squadron RCAF held a garden party at '"'Stone- haven", Whitby, where 800 guests were welcomed by Mrs. Norman Irwin and Mrs. R. D Kerby, gén- eral convener. ! Lt.-Col. R. B. Smith was named eommander of the Oshawa Vol- unteer Civil Guards. Mrs. George W. Humphries of Whitby was elected president of Durham and Ontario WCTU for the ensuing year. Mrs. E V.

As a Canadian you are more likely to claim you are enjoying life than citizens of at least nine other countries.

BUNDESEN: MD All of you, I'm sure, realize the importance of clocks, You get up by the clock, you work by the clock, you eat by the clock and you go to bed by the clock Well, in a way, you also grow, develop and age by the clock. And when it runs down, you die by the clock "BIOLOGICAL CLOCKS" We believe this time sequengg to be the work of "biological clocks'. The entire process of life is run by them, according to a University of Minnesota study, Think of it in this manner: eountless clocks, running at dif- ferent speeds in differént time zones within the body, are set and reset events in our en- vironment sugh as daylight and night. We eat, play and work dur- ing the daytime; we sleep and rest our bodies al night. OTHER THEORIES There are some theories that menstruation is paced by the moon, although this has yet to be proven. It does indicate, how- ever, another time factor Studies of these 'biological clocks" indicate that there is a time and a season for all things. As for medicine, there is a time to operate and a time not to operate; a good time to ad minister drugs and a poor time to administer them. There is a time to make x-rays and a time not to make them; there is a time to rouse a patient and a time to let him sleep The University of Minnesota scientists, studying the "'biologi- cal clocks' under grants from the American Cancer Society: have found that organisms can take stresses much better during one period of the day than they can at other times. There are peaks of high resistance and low resis tance And, the scientists report, these peaks are different for different agents, Tests on mice show that they are especially vulnerable to cer- tain toxins at about 4 p.m. and least vulnerabie at about 8 a.m. Thus, a poison which would have little effect upon them in the early morning, would kill them quickly if taken several hours later. The mice are most susceptible to alcohol at 8 in the evening. But mice are nocturnal creatures and rest during the day. Most humans rest at night, so our peak suscep- tibility might be the opposite of that of our mouse friends. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. B. J.: Are raw eggs espe- cially good for a TB patient? Would inhaling fresh air each morning be helpful to a person with active TB? Answer: Adequate diet and good ventilation are useful in the treatment of active tuberculosis, but are definitely secondary te rest, specific drugs and other methods of treatment. PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM Especially during spring, many an employed person has enough lead in his pants to protect a portion of his anatomy against nuclear radiation Anotiher thing that doubtless irks the Russians, who are past masters at spying, is that Amer- ican amateurs have been horn- ing in on the game North Americans tend to con- sider the value or desirability of anything to be commensurate with its cost. This explains why they enjoy vacations enormously. display.

(CP)--An- He started to QUEEN'S PARK Provincial Experts Seem To Be Scarce By DON ('HEARN TORONTO -- The committee on boards and commissions has made a startling discovery. Members of the committee, from Attorney - General Roberts down were surprised to find there are no experts on provincial gov- ernment in Canada. They wanted a political science man from one of the universities to brief them. They found there was no such man in Ontario and nobody that was known of in. Canada, Professor Hodgetts of Queen's did appear before them. But he said quite frankly that the prov- inces were not his field. LEFT FIELD? This is in line with a general lack of recognition of the import- ance of provincial government to- day. For the most part we are in- clined to put it out in the left- field bleachers. We pay attention to local gov- erpment which imposes our real estate taxes. And to federal gov- ernment which directly takes our money in income tax, But except at election times-- and not always then--we don't give provincial administration too much time. And yet in at least one way it is the most important sphere of government we have, This is in that it is the govern- ment of control. The federal government handles defence and trade and other mat- ters relating to the economy. Local government administers the machinery of local life-- schools, sewers, police, ete. But provincial govern ment bosses us. It regulates us from the speeds we may drive to where we may get our eye-glasses fixed (only at an optometrist), Unfortunately, however, regu. lation does not have the public sex appeal of cash. DRUG COSTS? The next committee to get going will be the inquiry -into the cost of drugs. And it promises to be the star act of the many groups meeting this off-session season. Although the inquiry is only charged with studying the cost of drugs used in institutions it al- most inevitably will get into the general field also. With Leslie Rowntree as ehair- man it can be depended on to bring out a lot of fact. And with practically everybody today buying drugs in some form or other a lot of the fact it brings out should have wide appeal. 3% Delhi - Spaulding Towers or * Antennas ® INSTALLED MOVED ® REPAIRED SERVICE TO ALL SETS LEN & LOU's T.V.
