Page 6 Monday, July 25, 1960 Divorce Case Supports CCF Members Struggle Even after the Eccles case, Parlia- ment will undoubtedly continue to act as a divorce mill for the benefit of mis- mated couples in Quebec and Newfound- land. In that case the husband, because he wanted custody of his son, decided to contest the divorce bill before Par- liament. He told a tale of collusion, of faked evidence -- an old, tired and sickening story to 'anyone who has ex- amined the workings of divorce pro- cedures in Canada. The Eccles case was not an isolated one, The same story of rigged evidence would be told in case after case, were the members of Parliament able or will- ing to dig deeply enough. Yet most of them will make no earnest effort to rid Parliament of this shoddy, hypocritical and time-wasting procedure, either be- cause they lack the energy or do not consider the effort politically safe. They will continue as long as their able to make a cynical farce of the work of Par- liament and of the solemn business of ending a marriage by giving rubber stamp approval to the divorce bills pre- sented to them. We must make an exception here. The CCF members at Ottawa have long fought against Parliament's handling of the disgusting divorce business. At this session in particular the team of Peters and Howard hds stubbornly and cour. ageously held up the hearing of private members' bills in an effort to force their colleagues to take some action to rid Parliament of the divorce bills. The CCFers have been criticized, wheedled and vilified, but they have stuck to their announced intention of doing what they can to stop the waste of Parlia- ment's time and the corrupting of Par- liament's purpose -- and more power to them. Some Conservative and Liberal members have from time to time given them tentative support; privately most members agree that the Parliament should not handle the divorce business, but that it should go to some body such as the Exchequer court to be handled in proper legal fashion. But most of the members are a long way from insisting that the necessary steps be taken to achieve this desirable end. The Eccles case should provide the CCF with ammunition to continue the fight. We trust they will not hesitate to use it as devastatingly as possible. A few more cases of this sort and the fight can be won. U.S. And The Latins The Organization of American States could reach maturity with its handling of the Cuban dispute with the US. A great deal will depend on the skill with which the U.S. case is handled if it is bulldozed through the meeting, with the U.S. pressuring the other members, the OAS will lose much of the strength it has managed to build up during the 10 years of its existence. If the U.S. finally realizes, however, that it is some- things less than good old Uncle Sammy to large numbers of Latin Americans and proceeds accordingly, the OAS may be able to contain the Cuban problem to the hemisphere and keep it from going to the UN, where the Com: munist bloc can use it for effective propaganda. The odds are against the U.S, which, despite its protestations of goodwill, has largely ignored the Latin American states except to meddle -- as in Guate- mala in 1954 -- and to give the im- pression of supporting dictatorships like those of Perez Jiminez in Venezuela, Pinilla in Colombia, Vargas in Brazil and Batista in Cuba. The Latin Ameri- cans have not forgotten U.S. interven- tion in Mexico and Panama before World War 1, and in Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti and the Dominican Republic dur- ing World War 1. They know, too, that U.S. aid to Latin America has been tiny compared with the massive bankrolling of projects in Europe and Asia, even Latin America is a neighbor though desperately in need of help. President Eisenhower returned from a brief visit to four South American countries last February to report that U.S. relations with most of Latin Ameri- ca were at an "all-time high". We noted at the time that Mr. Eisenhower seemed to be indulging in wishful thinking, and time has proved it so. Discontent if rife in Central and South America, and it is now clear that the influence of Cuba's revolution is immense throughout these areas. The peaple there may have been repelled by Castro's mass executions, bu the millions of subsistence-level peasants have been hearing more about. Castro's reforms, the taking away from the haves to give to the have-nots. They like what they hear, and their mounting discontent could force agrarian reforms on their own governments -- reforms that could not be accomplished, probably, without some violence. There is at least some sympathy for Castro, then, resentment about U.S. treatment of the Americas in the past decade as well as earlier. If Castro has opened U.S. eyes to the facts of life in Latin America, he has per- along with formed a service. Borrowing Too Heavily Few people in this country have a wider knowledge of finance, both- public and private, than Mr. Graham Towers, former Governor of the Bank of Can- ada. For this reason Mr. Towers' views on capital spending, expressed recently in a press interview in Toronto, are worth careful consideration. Like his successor Governor of the Bank, J. E. Coyne, Mr. Towers feels that capital spending by .govern- as ment in Canada in recent years has been excessive, "The bother is," he says, "that in the last four or five years, too much foreign The Osharoa Times T.

For too many municipalities and, for that matter, provinces too, have mort- gaged their future for what have turned out to be illusory short-term gains.

And a lot of it is said with a punch which in it elf is news. The professor, in fact, is a bit too good.

ON AUTOMATION: When the proiessor appeared here, one point he brought out st k a reporter as particularly ng. was his comment on the bugaboo of automation: "I suspect that 1.B.M equip- ment makes as much work as it save "Once you have the machine you have one staff of people to feed it because it is hungry for paper. "you have another staff of mathematicians to interpret the results probably more mathe- nm ians than you had before you had the machine at all "And finally a third staff of people to file the information ac- quired." He went on to note that one British corporation had cut its staff from 26,000 to 18,000 through the discovery that masdes of people were busy compiling masses of information which masses of people filed and no- be time to look at.

It is a soul-robbing Job and I am not happy about using paper-pushing as a method of disguising unem- ployment." Then again, he added, pushing, of course, time of other people.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- With Britain in the throes of a very wet summer-- rain has fallen every day since July started -- the exodus of people seeking warm sunshine on the continent has reached large proportions. British Railways re- port that they have had to run a non - stop shuttle service of car ferries and passengers vessels to France to cope with the sudden rush of traffic. If the bad weath- er in Britain continues, as it did two summers ago, then this may well be a record season for Brit- ish holiday-makers going to the continent British Railways officials 'are happy about the rush of traffic to the south coast ports and across the channel, since it will boost their lagging revenues. But they are not nearly so happy about one direction in which they are losing money to the extent of hundreds of pounds a day io some smart French business peo- ple at the Port of Boulogne. CUT PRICE KIOSK Railway officials on hoard the vessels leaving Boulogne for Eng- lish ports are watching with mix. ed feelings long queues formed by returning passengers at a French duty-free shop. It is io- cated right at the entrance to the passport control office. The reason for the queue is that this shop, which operates with the full sanction and ap- proval of the French governs ment, sells a much wider variety of cigarettes, French perfume and liqueurs, at prices which are substantially lower than those charged at the duty-free shops on board the channel steamers. THORN IN FLESH One of the British Railways officials says: "By a clever manoeuvre, this shop, or kiosk, has been placed so that returning British holiday makers must pass it to get through the passpoft control. The price lists, shown in bright neon lights, soon attract customers. "It is a thorn in the flesh for British Railways, because people are spending their money buying these duty-free articles on French soil, instead of as they used to do, buying these goods on board the steamers on their way across the channel. Hundreds of pounds are being spent at the kiosk every day, which used to be spent on the steamers." There 1s, however, another angle to the story -- that of the One of them, Robert Yorkshire, ex- passengers Grant of Leeds, pressed this view: "In a rough sea such as we are having just now, it is no fun in having to queue on board the ship when it is rolling, to buy liquor and cigarettes. It is much better to use the time spent in waiting for passport control to buy all one wants on the French side. And the goods are cheaper. Perhaps if British Railways brought down their - prices the situation might change." election earlier this summer as Premier, As second choice, the almost unanimous vote seemed likely to fal: on Hazen Argue, the leader of the CCF group of MPs in our House of Commons, Hazen ue is a young prairie farmer, who represents in our federal puillament the constituency which Tommy Douglas repre- sents in the provincial legisla- ture, But at this eleventh hour, a na- tion-wide surge from the grass roots is working to draft a former CCF giant who has retired hap- pily from the political stage to his cosy litte lotus-land of good music, tasty food and better-than- Eisenhower golf, It is certair that Alistair Stew- art, now working as a Chartered Accountant in Winnipeg, will re- act vigorously against this draft. It is equally certain that the first sniff of the powder of political warfare wili make this valiant old war-horse eager to gal back into the Wiig ealop If he doesn't gallop, he will probably be spurred. Alistair Stewart was first elected to our House of Commons in 1945, at the age of 39. He was re-elected continuously by Winni- peg North, until he was over- whelmed by the Diefenbaker surge in 1958; overwhelmed by a majority of a mere 215 votes, 16,000 in the general election nine mo "ihs earlier, The big, friendly impressive. looking Scot has naturally had many colleagues in the House of Commons wio disagreed with his political views--that is why the Liberals and Conservatives were there, But he has never had one wi failed fo respect his views, his good sense, and above all his sincerity and integrity. COAST-TO-COAST CAMPAIGN It is significant that the draft- Stewart movement originated in Ottawa, and already has the sup- port of six of the eight CCF MPs here, Their project is to elect him a: their National leader, but to ask zen Argue to continue as their Parliamentary leader. Alis- tair Stewart would then devote the next year to preaching the CCF gospel from coast to coast, preparing for the formation of the *'New" Pariy amalgamating the present CCF with organized labor, His complete integrity is counted upor to win him over- whelming support at the conven- tion in Regina. Of the 300 dele- gates, he is expected to carry 60 per cent of the big Ontario group, 50 per cent of the even bigger Saskatchewan group, three quar- ters of the B.C. and Manitoba groups, and at least half the Alberta group. Delegations from the Eastern Provinces will be very much smaller, but there too, especially from Quebec, major support seems assured for Stew- art, If this dramatic eleventh-hour surge succeeds, the CCF will find itself with a new leader of ac- cepted and proven national sta- ture, in a class which was not dreamed of even a week ago.
