As & union, the country's problems have been magnified by the vote which, however small, has given the Nationalist government the majority it wanted, At & time when Bouth Africa needs friends where it can find them, there is no certainty that it will be allowed to remain within the Commonwealth and will almost certainly lose the support that it previously hed from Common» wealth countries in the UN, Talk of the secession has come from Natal, which voted overwhelmingly against the republic and has by far the highest percentage of English-speak- ing people of the four provinces, It has no future on vociferous in Natal politics Most have been its own, three kinds of people: the retired pukka sahibs from British India; the British who found in Natal the nearest and most settled part of the "Empire" this side of the East where servant labor made it possible to lead the grand life on limited means; and generations of people who refer to England as "home" even when their grandparents were born in South Africa, Politically, Natalians are more re actionary than many Afrikaners, In an English-Boer racial relation, their ine transigence has been surpassed only by the Nationalist Afrikaners, This is not the mentality required of 8 multiracial country that may wish "to strike out independently in the Africa of today. Natal is the home of a million half Zulus, about half a million whites and a few hundred and thousand people of Indian origin who have their complaints against their treatment South Africa taken up annually by the Indian delegation to the UN, mn Vote On Sunday Movies Oshawa city council has' been quested to hold a question of Bunday movies re. the that plebiscite on Now the matter has been brought before the public, we believe the plebiscite should be held, 'At this stage it is not a question of whether or mot Bunday movies should be permitted, Rather it is a question of whether the people of Oshawa should be given the opportunity of expressing their opinion by means of a properly cons ducted vote - and we think they should That is the democratic, way of obtaining a reliable expression of public opinion. reasonable The request to city council makes such an expression desirable, clear the air, If it is not held, be a continuing and possibly rancorous debate between the supporters of Sune. day movies and their opponents, Each side will undoubtedly claim whelming public support, and the result will be meaningless argument, Let the public record its thoughts at the time of the municipal election in if only to there will Overs December, Comparison A thoughtful comparison of the mean. ings and methods of democracy and totalitarianism has been made by the Rockefeller Fund in a study under the title "The Power of the Idea," Here is what the researchers had to say, in part: "In the end, Is not a method for dealing with comp lexity, It is a method by which the des. Democratic the totalitarian method perate, the impatient, or the ruthless can come to convince themselves that life is simpler than it really is; it is method by which the weary can escape the need to think all, When frustration accumus lates in a society, it is intelligible that its members may be tempted to turn to such a But not an answer to the question of comp lexity, it is a refusal to ask the question, method totalitarianism is "The democratic method, is for the confident and tough-minded, It does not promise that all problems can be solved; it relieves no one from the pain of thought or from the respon. sibility bf facing as many facts and res.

One can only assume, however, that those who do not vote do not care either way and are quite willing to accept the decision of the majority of those who do go to the polls, It is the democratic way, moreover, to give citizens the opportunity to ex- ballot on matters that concern their individual and collective welfare and way of life, Prohibition of such an expression breeds cynicism and, often, contempt for the law seeking to make the prohibition effective, press their opinion through the A majority of the people of Oshawa may think that Sunday [0 abhorrent and cannot, be Pid the city; they that movies no more dangerous on a Sunday than golf or television, We do not know, But some citizens obviously would like'Sunday movies, and' now the rest of the citizens should be given the opportunity by vote, Of Ideas pecting movies or may believe are to decide the matter a8 many human values as possible, But it accepts the difficulties of government for what they are, and it aims at a level of human achievement that is only possible when men face their difficulties squarely and overcome them honestly, "Such a commitment, risks, with their habits of prolonged public like any com. mitment, has its Democracies, discussion, have often been thought, even by their This fear is bound to be more insistent when a faced by ruthlessly regimes, which seem to determine their policies with speed and execute them with rigor, But speed, rigor, organization and dis- cipline are virtues only when the goals they serve are intelligent, "The arbitrary fixing and refixing of goals is surely a less adequate device for insuring intelligent policies than the protracted and self-critical berative processes which democraty friends, to be inefficient, democracy is organized totalitagian more deli. employs, "When there is weakness in democrac it does not lie in the inefficiency 'of the process by which democracy reaches its decisions, It lies in the values held by the individuals who take part in these decisions."

MeINTYRE HOOD pecial London Eng.) Corr For The Oshawa Times LONDON ~~ What seemed to escape much attention at the time of the Labor Party confer. ence at Scarborough, but is com ing out in the post-mortem com ments on the conference, is the fact that the party Is now offi cially without any policy on de- fence, This Is because of the re- quirements of the party eonstitu- tion The constitution lays down that "no proposals shall be Includéd in the party program unless adopted by a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes recorded." The result of the voting at the conference is simply this. The official party policy presented hy the national executive was der feated, Therefore it no longer exists, The two resolutions pro. posing a han on nuclear weapons and unilateral nuclear disarma- ment by Britain were both care ried, But both of them fell far short of having the twothirds majority required by the consti. tution, Therefore they cannot be written into the party program, POSER FOR MEMBERS With a session of parliament due within the next month, this situation presents quite a poser for the Labof members of the house, They have no policy which they can present and say 'This 4s our party's program," The probable result is that should there be a debate on defence in QUEEN'S PARK Doctor Shows the House, individual opposition members cap express their own views, but cannot claim that they are expressing the official policy of thelr party. The next move, ft would sp. pear, would be for the members of the shadow cabinet, the na- tional execuiive of the party, and the general council of the Trades Union Congress to sit down fo gether and try to draft a policy on which at least two-thirds of them can agree, And that will in all probability mean another dog- fight on defence at next year's annual conference of the party. RAILWAY STRIKE THREAT At the moment of writing, the question of whether or not there will be a rallway strike on Octo- ber 17 is still up in the air, with negotiations going on. By the time this appears in print, the re- sult will be known, But there is one angle to the rallwaymen's strike threat that is considered rather unusual and significant, This is the fact that negotiations on the strike Issues were re- opened only when the leaders of the Shipbuilding and Engineer- ing Unions' Federation threw weight against the National Union of Rallwaymen and against the strike, and insisted that fresh negotiations with the British Transport Commission should be initiated by the union The Union of Rallwaymen had heen sitting back and waiting for the head of the commission to make a 'plea for fresh talks This was not good enough for ie How To Give Answers By DON O'HEARN TORONTO Witnesses before the early sittings of the commit tee on drugs have left a bad attitude of both pharma. s and dentists gave the im- ea an they didn't think much of the committee or of its inten. tion to look Into their business Both groups seemed to think that their business was nobody else's business than thelr own Chairman Leslie Rowntree shocked them down to ante The soon earth Co-operate, he sald, will be at your door, The com mittee means busivess , , , and that means your business, RIGID CONTROL And of course thelr business 1s the Legislature's business, For both groups control their professions through powers they secure from the province, And these controls are exireme Both tentists and phasmacists, for instance, Issue suggested price lists to their memberships, This is telling a dentist what he should charge you for pulling your tooth There probably 1s no absolute ban on a dentist charging less But certainly this form of price control is responsible for putting dentists in the top income group in the country, And If private business at. tempted the stame type of com. bine it would be before the courts in a hurry, DOCTOR GOOD Perhaps surprisingly, the most coopezate witness before the committee was a physician, rep- resenting doctors = regarded as the most reactionary group of them all, Dr, Tan Ing Internal Toronto, He a gentleman, He was in agreement with the work the committee has to do or the law quite Macdonald is the lead. medicine man in also is unafraid and Democrats Keep Lead In Congressional Race By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION PRINCETON, N.J, Republi. cans have made little headway in thelr fight to recapture the House of Representatives in the election Just a month away In the latest nationwide survey Congressional preferences, in which a total of 3241 persons were interviewed during the last month, the race shapes up as follows RACE FOR HOUSE SEATS «Second Report Prefer Democrats Prefer Republicans 39 Undecided 6 If the six per cent who said "undecided" at the interviewed, are the a 85% in approximately Pot, Prefer Democrats hl Prefer Republicans 42 These survey results show vine tually no change from results of the first survey made shortly Oshawa public library decided after the two political conven. to open the reading room on Sun tions The campaign for the 437 House the vote in the South in the latest survey CONGRESSIONAL VOTE IN SOUTHERN STATES (Today's Figures) Pet, Prefer Democratic can, 72 Prefer Republican ean, 8 In the 1956 election the Cone gressional vote in the South was as follows: 1956 CONGRESSIONAL VOTE IN SOUTHERN STATES Democrats Republicans As indicated by survey results, Nixon is thus running 22 pers centage points ahead of his party in the South, In the areas outside the South, the Democratic candidates for the House are preferred by §6 per cent: Republican candidates by 44 per cent.
