She Oshawa Gunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1962 -- PAGE 6 Russians Plant Joker In Disarmament Offer The disarmament proposals of the Americans and the Russians agree on several points and come close to agreement on several others. They would both, for example, restrict the use of space vehicles to peaceful pur- poses; and while the United States proposes establishment of an inter- national commission on measures to reduce the risk of war, the Soviet Union suggests a United Nations veace force composed of national police contingents and commanded by a "troika" of officers from the West, the Soviet bloc and the neutral nations. Where they diverge -- and this has always been the point of deadlock -- is on the subject of inspection and control. The Russians are pathologi- cally suspicious of inspection teams. The West has learned from exper- ience, however, that something more than promises and protestations is needed. But while this matter is being argued for the thousandth time, we can wonder about the Soviet proposal for a three-stage treaty to abolish all national arms and armed forces except police contingents within four years. University's The Ontario Legislature's private bills committee did well to strike from the Laurentian University bill the clause giving the university the right to "cancel, recall or suspend" a degree given to a graduate convicted of an indictable offence or guilty of "infamous or disgraceful conduct or conduct unbecoming a graduate." The University of Toronto, how- ever, still has that power, and the Legislature should act to remove it. As W. C. Alcombrack of the attorney- general's department commented, "It's a completely wrong principle." A university is concerned with what an undergraduate or graduate student does while attending the university. What the student does after leaving the cloistered halls is none of the university's business. The granting of a degree means that the student has met the demands of the university. After that, it is up to the courts and the professional associations to sit in judgment on "infamous or disgraceful The Soviet Union maintains {ts control over its satellites in Central Europe only by armed force or the threat of it. That was the lesson of Stalin Allee and Hungary. With the threat of the Red Army removed, there isn't much doubt about the reac- tion of the people in Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Hun- gary. In East Germany and Hungary almost certainly there would be a violent outbreak against the Com- munists, and just as certainly the former country would move towards union with West Germany. The Soviet Union knows all this. It may be prepared to trade its Central European empire for disarmament, That, indeed, would be a remarkable change of heart for the Communists. But if the Russians do not expect to have to make that trade, we must jook for the joker in the disarma- ment proposals. And we do not have to look very far, because it is right there at the beginning, in the phrase "except police contingents." That's the gimmick to keep the satellites as police states. Power conduct". What is "conduct unbecom- ing a graduate"? To a university cap- tured by far-right authorities it might mean far-left opinions express- ed by a graduate. The solicitor for Laurentian Univer- sity defended the section on the grounds that the University of Tor- onto had never exercised its power and that it gave the university an opportunity to defend its reputation. If that argument is accepted, then one must agree that there is. no need to rescind or amend any old law that has been ignored; in that way we might still have the power to burn witches. Moreover, as one of the com- mittee members commented, "I don't know how a criminal conviction would affect the reputation of the university. Surely the university doesn't take responsibility for doctors and lawyers after graduation." Few graduates of the University of Toronto knew they were living under this threat. It should be promptly removed. B.C. Premier's Dodging The snubbing of the Royal Com- mission on Banking and Finance by the government of British Columbia was a surprise, not because of the manner of the snub but because Premier W. A. Bennett failed to avail himself of such an opportunity to lecture the people of Canada on the glories of Social Credit (B.C. version). We have come to expect bad manners and high-handed behavior from Mr. Bennett and his government; but we have also come to expect uninhibited dissertations on the financial wizardry of Mr. Bennett. Mr. Bennett is a professed expert on the subject of ridding a province of debt and should by this time be an expert on expropriation. In addi- She Oshavwon Times T. L. WILSON, Pubfisner C.

The Commission members would undoubtedly have appreciated a first- hand explanation of how a debt- ridden province can rid itself of direct debt. That is what Mr. Bennett claims his government has done in British Columbia; in fact, we still have a vivid memory of Mr. Bennett shooting a flaming arrow into a barge piled high with bonds representing the last of the province's direct debt. It may be, of course, that Mr. Bennett did not wish to undergo a cross-examination hy the knowledgeable members of the Commission about his debt-handling methods. He would inevitably have been asked about the enormous growth in the province's indirect debt, obvious though' partly swept under the rug of provicial crown cor- porations. It may have been modesty that kept Mr. Bennett from describing his ex- propriation feats. Or it may have been embarrassment, since B.C.'s financial reputation has been badly shaken in international financial circles. Bible Thought Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. -- Hebrews 11:25. The pleasures of sin are but for a season, but the punishment of unpar- _ doned sin is everlasting. "Now, Let's Appoint READERS' VIEWS» Molotov Faith, Science Work Together Dear Sir: Has science made obsolete? Off and on there have been arguments in the editorials and magazines on this subject for quite some time. But the fact remains that it's impossible that science could make religion obsolete, espe- cially the Christian religion which is governed by God's Holy Spirit. Neither is there any reason for science and religion to fight one against the other. Christian religion is the com- plete answer for the human race, just' as the all good sci- ence is complete "but in a dif- fernt form," both working to- gether for a very real and vital purpose. From the beginning of time when God breathed the breath of life into the first man He created, that same breath of life is also in us, for in God we breathe and move and have our being. Genesis 2:7, Acts 17:28. And from the first time that man perfected for himself luxury and healing man _ has worked scientifically towards a bigger and better goal. For ex- ample when the first wheel was made, then the steam engine, the diesel and jet, the tele- phone, electricity and penicillin, blood transfusions, operations all performed with the help of God to stop suffering and pro- long life. 2 Kings 20:7. But it seems the end of the goal is the atomic bomb and the danger- ous radio-active fallout that the bomb scatters. Man has perfected a device that has put man_ himself against the wall on three sides. Now it's time to stop and seek God and the science of His righteousness. Matt 6:33. To a real scientist everything is science even the salvation of his own soul which is his living self that requires living bread for nourishment that by the light. of knowledge of life through the Bible man becomes part of the brightness of God's glory and overcomes the dark- ness of death and destruction. With love for God and his neighbor he won't say "am I my brother's keeper" like Cain said after he killed his brother Abel. Matt 4:4, Genesis 4:9. Let's be grateful to God Who gave us minds to perfect such gigantic skills in science which can be with God's help used for peace and advantage to all on this earth. But without God the scientists and rulers shall de- stroy themselves and the whole human race with an atomic war and make their own definition for Hell. There's a prophecy about the atomic shelters in Isaiah 24: 17, 18. I quote: Fear and the pit (shelter) and the snare (radio activity) are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it shall come to pass that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in a snare. Not only the scientists and the rulers but the reverend ministers and all church goers have to improve if there's to be genuine lasting peace. In many holy places we see the abomination of desolation Isaiah 24: 5, 6 and Matt 27:15 where the churches have be- come the social centres for tea parties, bingos, bazaars, tur- key suppers, and are desolate of the presence of the Spirit of God To declare an atomic war which we know will cause total destruction, both sides would religion have to be alike, at heart, then we would be no better than the Russian Communists, Stalin, Khrushchev and Hitler. There's no alternative but to admit that only the knowledge of God, prayer, faith and help from our Heavenly Father the Almighty God can there be peace on earth to men of good will, and good will to all men. Isaiah 54: 8-17, 60:12. MRS. PAULINE COOPER PRAISES HOSPITAL Dear Sir: I have been in the Oshawa General Hospital for two weeks and have found the doctors, nursing staff and orderlies very attentive, helpful, thoughtful and pleasant in every way, to make a patient feel very con- tent, restful and happy and well taken care of. I could name all of the staff, but they are too numerous to mention, in 2A, Room 209. The meals are excellent, well cooked and appetizing. The Hospital itself is always clean and tidy, is a wonderful building, and is a source of great pride to the. City of Osh- awa. In the meantime keep up the good and faithful work you very pleasant people are doing. It is nice to have people like you in the world. Thank you again. GEORGE NORRISH Oshawa CENTENARY Dear Sir: On June 22, 23 and 24, 1962, Her Royal Highness The Prin- cess Royal, Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Regiment of Canada, will be visiting Toronto to pre- side over the Centenary cele- brations of the Regiment. While Her Royal Highness is here the Old Colors will be trooped on the south Campus, she will present New Colors and attend the various social events to be held and the depositing of the Old Colors in St. James Cathedral. The City of Toronto are also entertaining Her Royal Highness at tea in Old Fort York, These celebrations mark one hundred years of service of the Royal Regiment of Canada and the units which it continues and perpetuates, namely, The Royal and Rockefeller Joint Governors" Grenadiers, The Toronto Regi- ment, the 3rd, 58th, 123rd, 124th, 170th, 204th Battalions CEF. There will also be a detachment present from the King's Regi- ment (Manchester and Liver- pool) with which there is a long affiliation and there will be some representatives from the 2nd Battalion The Royal Vic- toria Regiment of Australia. We hope that on these oc- casions there may be present not only those who are active with the Regiment, but all those who have themselves served in the units or who have relatives and ancestors who have done so in the one hundred years. May I therefore ask for the courtesy of your columns to notify all those concerned who are connected with the Royal Regiment of Canada and these other units to send their names and addresses to The Secretary, Fort York Armoury, Toronto 28, Ontario. To these we shall send detailed announcements of the program, but we invite all your readers who are interested to attend and join with us in these celebrations and cere- monies including Trooping the Old Colors in full dress uniform. One of the most significant features of the occasion will be the Parade of the Veterans of the CEF units of the 1914-1918 War. They and their comrades will be particulary welcome. D. E. CATTO Hon. Lieut. Colonel CHAIRMAN Centenary Committee. IMMIGRANTS Dear Sir: Why are so many immigrants brought into this country where at the same time many people are out of a job? I arrived in Canada in 1957. I had been told in Malta, where i came from, that I could get a job immediately upon my arrival in Canada. But once here I found out differently. It took me a month before I found work, My relatives in Malta wrote me that about 300 people from there will come to Canada this summer. I wonder if they have been told the same thing as I was. GEORGE CASSAR, Oshawa QUERY ON JOBS Dear Sir: We would very much like to know why it is that men can come up from the Provinces into Oshawa and obtain jobs within two hours, and yet our own men who have been living here for years cannot obtain any kind of a job, let alone teen-agers.

W. Harrold, in charge of Boys' Work at. Broadview YMCA in Toronto for several years, took a similar position at the YMCA here An appeal was made to the citizens of Oshawa to contribute to a fund for Russian Famine Relief. The Arcade, firm of Thomas Miller and Sons, observed its 33rd year of business in Osh- awa. The town's population was then 4.000. A Radio Club was organized with headquarters in Reid's Garage on King street west. Ob- ject of the club was to gain knowledge of the radiophone which was creating world-wide interest at that time. Permits were issued for 10 new homes to be built by the Oshawa Housing Commission. Rotarian J. G.

McINTYRE HOOD LONDON -- The Labor oppos- tion in the House of Commons has now come out flatly against Britain's including the deter- rent of nuclear weapons in its defence planning. Its spokes- men, during a two day debate on defence, Gordon Walker and George Brown, said that Brit- ain's nuclear contribution to the western defences was so small a factor that it was not worth continuing with it. Mr. Brown went even further and charged that the United States govern- ment did not think Britain's nuclear contribution was worth while. This brought a swift chal- lenge from the minister of de- fence, Harold Watkinson, but Mr. Brown stuck to his guns, and insisted that he had ac- curate information that the Washington chiefs of staff would not be at all worried if Britain gave up nclear weapons. The new _ Labor position seems to be just that Mr. Gait- skell and his followers are satis- fied that the western owers, and NATO in particular, should have nuclear weapons, but. that it should be left to the United States to supply them, with Britain getting out of the nu- clear race. That is the closest that the labor eaders have come to favoring unilateral nu- clear disarmament on the part of Britain. Mr. Gaitskell, on his return from the United States, gave his support to President Kennedy's decision to resume nuclear weapon tests if no agreement on a test ban could be reached quickly at Geneva. He even commended President Kennedy for making the an- nouncement when he did. It was surprising to find the prime minister and the opposi- tion leader in unanimous agree- ment for once. SURPRISE ATTACK Support for the Labor argu- ments against Britain's nuclear program came from an_ un- expected source in the Com- mons debate. Aubrey Jones, a former Conservative minister of supply, outdid the Laborites 'in his enunciation of Britain's struggle to maintain an inde- pendent nuclear deterrent. he said it did not make one jot of difference to Russia, and only irritated and embarrassed the United States. He claimed Brit- ain was going ahead with it simply for prestige purposes. Another Tory, Brian Harrison, MP for Malden, backed up Mr. Jones. He said it was unneces- sary and ineffective for Britain to have an independent nuclear deterrent. In spite of attacks from both sides of the House, when the division was taken, the govern- ment's defence policy was sus- tained by a majority of 87. BOOST FOR MACMILLAN Rightly or wrongly, Prime Minister Macmillan is being given credit for persuading Mr. Khrushchev to accept the west- ern viewpoint and agree to a meeting of foreign ministers as an opening gambit to the Gen- eva Conference on disarma- ment. While Mr. Khrushchev and President Kennedy, in their letters to each other, loaded as a Committee for Nuclear Disarmament candidate to op pose Prime Minister Macmillan for that seat in the next elec- tion, That has brought an im- mediate inquiry by the consti- tuency Labor party, and Mr. Dixon is in danger of being expelled from the party for accepting nomination as a CND candidate. In another constituency, in Pembroke, that actually hap- pened to a Labor party mem- ber who became a CND candi- date. He was expelled from the party. These two cases have caused some concern, because several left wing Labor mem- bers are key officials in the Committee for Nuclear Dis- armament. For instance, An- thony Greenwood, a member of the Labor national executive, is one of the most active CND figures. But the right wing Laborites would dearly love to see the CND humbled. They forget how near it came them with propagand Mr. Macmillan adopted a much more moderate and concilia- tory tone, and it is believed here that this was largely responsi- ble for the Russian change of attitude and acceptance of the proposal that a foreign minis- ters' meeting should be. held before deciding on talks at the summit. Be that as it may, there is general satisfaction in White- hall that the way is being pre- pared for a possible summit meeting should there be any hope of something being ac- complished towards disarma- ment or a ban on nuclear tests. More optimism prevails on the subject than I have noticed at any time in the last three years. There is more than a gleam of hope that some kind of progress may be made to- wards the two goals which the British government would like to reach -- disarmament and a ban on nuclear weapons. STRANGE PARADOX While Labor party spokesmen were arguing their case for nuclear disarmament by Britain in the House of Commons, a strangely paradoxal situation was developing in two constitu- encies in the country. In Brom- ley, Kent, a local Labor official, Keith Dixon, was put forward QUEEN'S PARK Opposition Asks For Consideration By DON O'HEARN TORONTO--There was frenzy and misunderstanding in an ar- gument in the House over the support given the opposition. Wentworth's Liberal member Ray Edwards started the fight when he contended that much better facilities should be pro- vided for the members on the opposition side of the House. Mr. Edwards, who has turned into a persistent prodder, re- fused to abandon his subject when government speakers tried to dismiss it. The result was a-heated wrangle that went on for nearly an hour. Behind the argument, and the heat, is the simple fact that proper facilities are not pro vided for the opposition. There are two main reasons for this. One of them has been that office space has been greatly limited. The other has been that tra- ditionally it has been the habit to give the opposition just as little help as can be got away with. And while conditions have been changing greatly the old habit has stuck. ARGUMENT SHOCKING To the observer the whole ar- gument on the question was a bit shocking. Mr. Edwards and other speakers on his side contended that they should have some form of private office space and that they should have secretar- ial and research assistance available. In reply to this some govern- ment speakers mentioned the "improvements". which had been carried out in recent years --improvements which really have been nothing more han crumbs. But for the most part the government reply was to deride the Liberals for the posi- tion taken back in the days of Mitch Hepburn. The writer waited for Pre- mier Robarts, who is more level-headed than most of his followers, to admit frankly the opposition case and say that something would be done about it just as soor as possible. But the premier was a bit out of sorts that particular morning and went along with his supporters in general tone. FREE SPENDING? It is lamentable to see dis plays such as this. This government certainly has not been tight with the purse strings in spending on Iit- self. Today, for instance, there is hardly a cabinet minister who hasn't at least one 'executive assistant." If it would give just a bit of INCOME INCREASE Between 1953 and 1960 per- sonal incomes in Britain rose on av@érage by about 6% per cent a year, while industrial output was higher by 2% per cent, the same consideration to the opposition we could hardly help but have better government. to capturing the Labor party for its policies 18 months ago. HANGING TO STAY There is to be no move on the part of the government to change the law on capital pun- ishment. R. A. Butler, home secretary, made that clear when, in a table thumping speech at. Lincoln, he declared that the death penalty would not be scrapped as long as the present crime wave continues. He said: '"'We must be careful to keep in our hands all the right forms of punishment so that we have strength in deal- ing with this menace to law and order." There is likely, however, to be at least one change in the Homicide Act. It has been shown that sentences of life imprisonment have resulted in men convicted of murders and reprieved from hanging being released at the end of from nine to 12 years. The amend- ment which Mr. Butler has in mind would give judges the power to state the length of the term for a sentence of life im- prisonment, up to 20 years. This would ensure that, where the judges considered the circum- stances warranted a heavy pen- alty, the convicted man would spend a sufficiently long term in prison. April 9 has been named as Budget Day in the House of Commons. Political and finan- cial commentators are agreed on one thing, They are looking for a tough budget, with some increased taxation in addition to a capital gains tax. One op- timistic commentator suggests that the surcharges on pur- chase tax might be removed, to help compensate workers for the pay pause. But his is a lone voice crying in the wilder- ness.
