Bh Oshawa Zines Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L, Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, PEBRUARY 16, 1963----PAGE 6 Harkness Gives Clear Statement Of Opinion Douglas Harkness, the former defence minister, this week gave a much clearer exposition of his views on the place of nuclear weap- ons in Canada's defence than he ever did as a member of the Diefenbaker cabinet. That is not strange, of course; now he can speak as an in- formed private citizen, and not as a member of a sharply tragically divided political group. His argument is this: After the Canadian government announced the procurement of the Bomare missile, the prime minister said the weapon has maximum effectiveness only when armed. with a nuclear warhead, and that is still the fact; regardless of the outcome of the spring meeting of NATO ministers, Canada's air commitment to NATO réquires nuclear armament for the CF-104 aircraft in its present strike reconnaissance role; it is not im- moral to acquire the best defensive weapons in an effort to prevent war, which is itself immoral; Canada would have the warheads under the same arrangements by which other NATO members have acquired them, without any loss of sovereign- ty and without enlarging the "'nuc- lear club"; it would not be practical to store the warheads outside Can- ada, because trucking the warheads to the Bomarc bases would take too much time in an emergency. Up to that point, his argument is plausible, There is no doubt that the Bomarc missile, poor as it is, is much poorer with a conventional rather than a nuclear warhead; there is no doubt that if Canada is in fact committed to a nuclear strike role in NATO, it should honor that commitment. The weakness of the argument is its acceptance of the role of the Bomarc. Mr. Harkness says that while the effectiveness of the Bomarc has been reduced, it "will continue to make a very significant contribution as a counter measure to the manned bomber, and bombers would deliver the main weight of any nuclear attack on this con- tinent." There is a considerable body of military opinion which holds that the main weight of a nuclear attack on this continent would be delivered by missiles and not bomber -- the bombers would concentrate on Europe and more accessible targets. And Bomares, of: course, are useless against missiles. In addition, their limited range also limits their capa- bilities against long-range super- sonic bombers. The Bomarc itself is just a side issue, however. The basic question concerns the manner in which Can- ada can best look after her own defence responsibilities and fill her fole in continental and NATO de- fence -- with nuclear arms or with conventional weapons. 'More Of Reverence' BY THE REV. H. A. MELLOW Northminster United Church Terinyson wrote: "Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence dwell;". We, today, are doing fairly well attending to the prayer in the first line. Knowledge is growing from "more to more". We are instructing our younger generation in areas of knowledge that certainly are "more to:more", as compared to what their forebears explored..We are aiding them, too, in developing that hand- maid of knowledge, skills; skills in the arts and crafts; skills as motor- ists and mechanics. This is gond. We go farther. Sport and athletic activities are "musts". -We . en- courage, at an all-too-early age, participation in formal social affairs that belong to more advanced ma- turity. Here lies cause of growing con- cern. Where is priority given? Where does priority belong? And-we en- in us couraging, adequately, 'more of re- verence", and more of its associated graces by giving these deserved priority? An eminent educationist recently spoke of the objective of education. (Education means to "lead out'). He said something like this: The objective of education is much more than preparing to provide material requirements; it could be said to be "to make a life". Education succeeds only when, in addition to accumulating a store of factual knowledge, there is enrich- ing of spiritual faculties. For this creature called "man" is primarily a spiritual creature. Education should bring, then, awareness of right and wrong; respect for others as "persons"; respect for the rights and welfare of others; self-respect; self-control; and giving of self in service. Jesus said: "This is LIFE ETER- NAL... TO KNOW GOD". When we are "led out" in true education to KNOW HIM, then there shall "more of reverence in us dwell'. Muskeg May Be Useful "Muskeg" is an Indian word meaning "grassy bog". It is treach- erous, unstable, a vast breeding ground for mosquitoes and makes road-building a nightmare. And Canada has 50,000 square miles of known muskeg. But what has always been con- sidered a liability may one day prove to be another of Canada's "illimitable" resources.

He has spent a lot of time studying muskeg, it seems, and he has concluded that after chemical treatment it should be a source of cellulose, insulation ma- terial, fertilizers, resins, motor fuel, tar and coke. He is not alone in this opinion. Dr. N. W. Radforth, professor of botany and chairman of McMaster University's department of biology, thinks that muskeg is a great po- tential resource that should be studied on a national basis: He sug- gests, for example, that if it. could be. adapted to agriculture, it could grow potatoes the size of footballs, The Timmins Press points out that Russia has 400 scientists and 1,000 students at work on muskeg research, and comments: "Why not get cracking here in the north country?

Lene INTO THE o WILD BLUE YONDER OTTAWA REPORT Politicians Plan Old Numbers Game By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The numbers game is always the first thing to al- tract conversing politicians after the calling of a general election. "How many seats will our party gain?" they ask optimis- tically. 'How will the new Par- liament be divided, province by province?" They calculate more soberly when bull session gives way to planning conference, The first check-around gave these estimates: Harry Jones, Conservative MP for Saskatoon, predicted that his party would capture 175 seats (it won 116 last June). Gilles Gregoire, So- cial Credit MP for Lapointe, Quebec, predicted that his party would win 150 seats (it won 30 Allan MacEachen, Liberal MP for Inverness-Rich- mond, Nova Scotia; predicted that his party would win 140 seats (it won 99 last June). And finally Tom Berger, New Demo- cratic Party MP for Vascouver- Burrard, estimated that his party would gain "a large in- Red Political Effort Fails By RUKMINI DEVI Canadian Press Correspondent BOMBAY (CP) -- Despite its military successes in the Him- alayas, Red China appears to have failed in the political as- pects of its invasion of India, ob- servers here feel As Indian adminisirators and social workers move beck into the North East Frontier Agency, which the Chinese held for nearly eighi weeks, it is becom- ing more and m ore: apparent that the tribesmen of the fron- tier areas proved unresponsive to Communist indoctrination tac- tics The Chinese, it now appears, had beea making poiitical prep- arations for the invasion ior more than two years.

SARDINE-CAN HOUSE Those predictions together foresee MPs jammed into our 26th Parliament like sardines nestled in a can. There would be 495 MPs in a Parliament which expects to see only 265. Reducing those possibly propa- ganda-like estimates to a size which could get into Partia- ment, we 'come up with another house of minorities, 94 Conserv. atives, 80 Social Creditors, 75 Liberals and 16 NDP. Then there are across-the- board estimates by individual MPs. Colin Cameron has a bal- anced mind and shrewd percep- tion, and this NDP member from Nanaimo, B.C, predicts moderate gains for the Liberals, impressive gains for Social Credit, while his own party will neither gain nor lose--he him- self retaining his own seat after a hard campaign. His figures are 111 Grits, 77 Tories, 58 So- creds and 19 NDP Another NDP member, also no babe in politics, who gave me his considered estimates was Murdo' Martin from Tim- mins, He expects the Liberals to lose 20 seats in. Quebec where GALLUP POLL the Social Credit appeal is rid. ing high; but 'they will pick up an equal number in Ontario, the Maritimes and the Prairies. So in Murdo's expectation, the Lib. erals will come back with the same number of seats as they had at dissolution, 99. His party will pick up six more seats, to give them 25, The Tories will drop down to 80, and the Social Credit will do just better than double its strength by electing 61 members. WIDESPREAD ACCORD Many MPs of all parties share the expectation that the NDP will remain at about the same level, and that the Social Credit party will achieve by far the largest gain proportionally, Bert Badanai, Liberal MP from the Lakehead, looks for 121 Liber- als, 86 Conservatives, 40 Social Crediters and 18 NDP in the next Parliament, Bert Leboe, Social Credit veteran MP from the Cariboo, B.C., looks for from 65 to 80 winners from .is party, 18 to 20 NDP., and the two old parties dividing the bal. ance evenly,. somewhere from 80 to 92 each. Take: the average of these election eve predictions, and if correct they would give us a Strange picture, with both the Liberals and the NDP standing at the same figure as before, while the Tories would lose 32 seats to Social Credit. Thus we would have a Parliament containing. 99 Liberals, 85 Con. servatives, 62 Social Credit, and 19 NDP 1 should point out that all these estimates were given to me before George Hees and Pierre Sevigny resigned from the Conservative cabinet French Show Odd Split On Question Of Britain (World Copyright Reserved) BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION How did people in the Com- mon Market countries react to President Charles de Gaulle's veto of British entry in the six- nation trading bloc? Surveys by affiliated Gallup Polls in Frante itself and in The Netherlands -- another member of "The Six" -- re- veals these highlights of public Opinion since the de Gaulle re- buff to Great Britain: In France, de Gaulle's gen- eral policies toward Great Brit- ain have the weight of public opinion behind them At the same time, supporters of Britain's entry in the Com- mon Market among the French public outnumber those who are opposed to such a move. Those who support this step feel that it serves the best interests of France In The Netherlands today, support for Britain becoming a Common Market members is even more Widespread than it was before the French veto The Dutch, in fact, feel that if France continues to oppose the British entry they would favor a Common Market with Great Britain but -- without France as a member In a survey by the French Gallup Poll, whose results were published in Frence-Eoir: inter- viewers asked "Do you approve or dis. approve of General de Gaulle's policies toward Great Britain?"

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Rumors persist that the government is being geared up for an early appeal to the electorate, although its normal term of office does not expire until October, 1964, The surprise announcement that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Reginald Maudling, will present his budget to Parliament on April 3 is causing some of these rumors, It is very unusual for the budget to be introduced at so early a date and before Eas- ter, and it is also unusual for announcement of the budget date to be made so far in ad. vance, In Labor circles, there is a strong feeling that a gencral election will be held about the last Thursday in May, Len Williams, general secre- tary of the Labor Party said that his own expectation of an early election had' been strengthened, and his view is shared by other Labor leaders That might explain the spate of propaganda which will soon be rolling off the presses for the Labor party, documents intend. ed to launch the Labor election campaign, One of the most delicate and intriguing of these is a pamph. let which, it is believed will set out Labor's alternative to the Common Market. Entitled "An Economie Plan for Britain'; it is being prepared by a team of economic experts, under the chairmanship of Harold Wilson, CANDIDATES READY Feverish preparations are be. ing made to have a Labor can- didate named for every consti- tuency, In addition to Labor's 247 members of the present par- liament, 312 new candidates have been. officially endorsed and 14 more are due for en. dorsation, Mr, Williams sums this up by saying: "We could have a candidate in every con- stituency in a couple of weeks." In spite of the rumors, and Labor's anxiety to be ready for an early election, I cannot see any justification for the belief that Mr. Macmillan will go to the country in May or June. Eiven if Mr, Maudling were to bring in a 'sunshine budget" (to use a phrase common in On- tario back in the days of Premier Mitchell Hepburn), much more time is needed for the effects of the government's expansion policies to get down to the grass roots of the popula. tion, and the government dare not risk an election until that has happened to a degree that will restore it in public favor, POLLS AGAINST IT All the public opinion polls, which announce their findings at regular intervals, still show Labor holding a substantial lead over the Conservatives. They show thaf far more people dis. approve of Mr, Macmillan's per. formance as prime minister than approve it. While he has gained slightly since his excel- lent television and radio presen- tation on the collapse of the Common 'Market negotiations and the future challenge to Brit- ain, he is sfill lagging behind Labor, even at a time when no one knows who the new Labor leader is going to be, So I discount entirely the rumors of an early summer election, and still stick to my conviction, expressed some months ago, that the govern. ment will give its. policies a good deal more time to show their impact on unemployment, industrial expansion, improve. ment of the depressed areas and the country's economy gen- erally before committing its fate to the electors. After all, it has a safe major. ity In the present House of Com- mons and is not liable to be de- feated on any vote of censure or confidence, so that Mr, Mac. millan can pick the election date at a time when he feels much more certain of winning. again than he can possibly do at the present time. PRIMING THE PUMP Meanwhile, the government is indulging in some large scale pump priming in an effort to cut down the incidence of unem. ployment in the northeast of England, Merseyside and Scot- land, John Hare, minister of Labor, took advantage of a House of Commons debate on unemployment to announce a number of projects to provide 'Connon Market Fiasco Big Success For Heath LONDON (CP) -- Edward Heath is one of the few Brit- ish politicians to win a stand- ing ovation from the usually passioniess gentlemen of the press The moment came in a Brus- sels hote! when the lord privy seal entered a conference room crowded with correspondents to confirm the bad news that the Common Market talks had failed. Heath was bitterly disap- pointed, Some 16 months of ar- duous negotiations had been de- stroyed at the moment they were nearing success, As he put it the fault lay with one man-- France's Charles de Gaulle Yet he refrained from ran- cor, Questions came thick and fast, Heath, often laughing at himself, answered them all with directness and an easy grace. When it was all over an Amer- ican journalist murmured "Now I know how Britain turns defeats into victories. That man has the makings of a prime minister." The Daily Mail's Quentin Crewe agrees, He concludes an article on Heath with the un- qualified assertion that 'one day he will be prime minister." Not everyone in Britain be- lieves Heath is automatically headed for 10 Downing Street. There are too many unknown factors, both in Heath's person- ality and in the almost mystic way the Conservative party seems to select its leaders STOCK IS HIGH But there are few who deny that his stock now stands con- siderably higher than it did in October, 1961, when Britain made its application to join the European Community, The feel- ing is Heath did all that was possible; he will not be labelled as "the man who failed at Brussels." Admiration for Heath extends well. beyond Britain. At the start of negotiations ministers of the six were somewhat baf- TODAY IN HISTORY THE CANADIAN Feb, 16, 1963 . . .

In fact, Heath is the chief spokesman for foreign affairs in the House of Commons, man- ning the front line while the for- eign secretary, the Earl of Home, commands from the Quieter atmosphere of. the House of Lords, Heath's task in Brussels was complicated. Before any real technical progress could be made he had to conquer doubts among the six that Britain was at last prepared to go whole- heartedly into Europe. ' Working 12 hours a day, seven days a week--and making the London-Brussels hop more than 20 times--he soon won the per sonal and professional respect of the negotiators. Heath's en- thusiasm and sincerity were proof of Britain's good inten- tions more employment jn. these areas, Shipyards on Tyneside, in the depressed northeast, have been given orders for three naval tankers which will cost $30 million, In Scotland, a ten- der has been accepted for the building of a new bridge over the one - and . a - quarter mile stretch of the Firth of Tay. at Dundee, at a cost of $13.5 mil.

It is pressing the minister to suspend the issue of work vouchers to potential immigrants until un. employment has declined to a more desirable level and the housing situation has improved, With more than> 2,900 unem- ployed men on its books, and nearly a third of them immi- grants, the Paddington and Marylebone Labor Exchan has the longest dole queue in Central London. The committee has also sug- gested to Mr, Hare that employs ment permits issued to immi- grants should be invalidated if they are not used within three months of issue, Expecting a further rise in unemployment before the end of February, this. Labor Com- mittee is pressing its views on the Labor ministry, It is most unlikely, however, that Mr, Hare will accede to the request that a complete ban be placed on immigration from Common- wealth countries, even as an emergency measure, UNIONS UNITE As I predicted in a previous article as something likely to happen, a significant union has now actually taken place be- tween two unions in the ship- building industry. By an over. whelming majority, the mem- bers of the Boilermakers' So- ciety and he Shipwrights' Asso- ciation have voted to amalga- mate into one union, This means an end to the arid demarcation disputes in which these two unions have taken part in the past, to the detriment of the shipbuilding in. dustry, Now any differences can be settled in friendly fashion within the framework of one, larger organization instead of having two important unions constantly at each other's throats, BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Rey, A.
