L, Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1963 -- PAGE 6 Finance Minister Must Not Rely On Outsiders Opposition spokesmen in the House of Commons were doing their duty in questioning the propriety of Finance Minister Gordon's con- sultation with three "outsiders" during the preparation of his bud- get. The secrecy of the budget must be maintained -- not just, the fact, but the appearance as well. It cer- tainly seemed as if Mr. Gordon had compromised that secrecy. But did he? , The answer must be no, The men he consulted were sworn to secrecy ; they were, in their dealings with Mr, Gordon, in the position of civil servants, Uness we are prepared to claim, then, that people outside the government service cannot be trust- ed, under oath, as much as people inside the service, we must admit that the secrecy of the budget was not jeopardized. There is another important aspect of the Gordon reference to private opinion: That is the propriety of a cabinet minister's going outside his own circle of advisers and experts to gather information and ideas for the shaping of policy. Once again it must be recognized that not only are there many pre- cedents for such action, but that it is eminently sensible. In times of emergency, governments quite prop- erly call on the best brains in the country. This is what happened during World War II, for example, when a tremendous amount of vital work was done for the country by dollar-a-year men -- men of out- standing capabilities who gave their time to the nation for nothing or for a nominal payment, while draw- ing salaries from private companies, The principle of obtaining out- side advice is acceptable. What must be watched -- and the Opposition clearly is doing that -- is the prac- tice. A minister who consistently goes outside his departmental circle for advice soon finds himself with- out the loyal, expert corps of senior civil servants that he needs. And that is what Finance Minister Gor- don must think about before he goes running back to his friends on Bay Street. Young Tories Restive Speculation about the leadership of the national Progressive Conser- vative party has been renewed, following the meetings of the Young Progressive Conservatives of Que- bec and Ontario. Leaders of the Quebec YPC say flatly that the party needs a new national leader. A special meeting in Montreal concluded that Mr. Diefenbaker had failed to under- stand the aspirations of French Can. ada and the bicultural character of Canada when he was prime minister. 'The delegates had many other reasons to account for the decline of Conservative support in Quebec, but much of the blame they laid squa- rely on Mr, Diefenbaker. A meeting of the Ontario Young Progressive Conservative Associa- tion in Kitchener pointedly ignored references to Mr. Diefenbaker. A resolution which praised Mr, Dief- enbaker was ditched on a technical- ity. There were pictures of Ontario's Premier Robarts, none of Mr. Diefenbaker. Speaker made only a few slight references to Mr. Dief- enbaker, while they eulogized Mr. Robarts and his administration. Officials explained that this neglect of the national leader was not de- liberate, but that the conference was concerned mainly with provincial matters, because of the imminence of an election in Ontario. At the same time, the conference passed several resolutions on _ national affairs, and one delegate was quoted as saying, "There are a lot of Hees' supporters here." There seems little doubt that these events in Ontario and Quebec reflected the unrest of the Young Conservatives -- and many others -- with the national leadership, an unrest which has been apparent across most of Canada outside the Prairies since well before the last general election. The disenchant- ment with Mr. Diefenbaker was evident last year, well before his fall from power. It is doubtful if there will be any general movement to replace Mr. Diefenbaker in the near future, however. His hold on the West is still too strong. Food And Education The problem seemed straight- forward enough at the start: To improve the ability of poor coun- tries to raise their own food. But the Food Agriculture Organization of the UN soon found the problem had all sorts of ramifications. The doctrine of the FAO is that, ' Jacking the massive capital invest- ment of agriculture in North Amer- ica and Europe, poor countries can feed themselves by less dramatic means. But the London Times points out: "This approach has raised edu- cational problems which are only now being fully appreciated. True, illiterate adults can be taught better methods by demonstration. Learn- ing to read and write opens a new field for the young, but it has the difficulty that education has usually been a way of escape from the village rather than a means to its transformation.

"At the highest level of intelli- gence, the clever young man who has won a tecnological education abroad often finds life there offers him more scope, or that when he becomes home his country has none of the equipment he has been trained to use. To train whole popu- lations to live at a steadily higher level of sophistication without a drift from the land is something new. It involves making house- wives, able to use a little money but not very much, out of peasant- women who see it so rarely now that how they spend it may be memor- able for years, "Not least of the ironies about rich and poor in the world is that the World Food congress will be talking about "consumer education" in poor countries when it is still a novel phase in rich ones. Another is that' there is not the transport to bring food surpluses of the west to the 30f million people who, at the lowet received estimate, are hungry all the time. The lesson is that the good will of individuals, although to be continually en- couraged, cannot solve a problem which lies in the field of govern- ments, However ingenious their social and educational plans, the poor countries must have trade. They require structural change in advance economies almost as much as they need it at home."

Correspondent For The Oshawa Times LONDON --In its annual re- port to the minister of public buildings and works, the. Ancient Monuments Board points out the danger of disastrous conse- quences to historic forts around the south and west coasts if they are allowed to be sold to the highest bidder without any re- strictions on the use to which they may be put by the new owners. These forts have an historic YOUR HEALTH background, Between the years 1789 and 1871, about 130 forts and major artillery battery in- stallations were built around the coast of England and Wales. All of them were designed for coast- al defence or for the protection of dockyards against invasions, threatened or anticipated. The principal sites for these old structures are near Ply. mouth, Portsmouth, Portland, Dover, the Medway and the lower Thames. Until recently there has been little need for the ministry or the board to con. Rules Of Health Can't Be Broken By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: What about gastritis? My husband has it. He feels as if his heart is 'crowded' --he gets short of breath when he tries to work and yet the doctor says his heart is good. Is diet the cure? MLN. Well, yes, I think we can say diet is the cure, but let me ex- plain why. Gastritis is an efficient way of saying that the patient is sufering from an irritation or inflammation of the mucosa or inner l'ning of the stomach. Swallowing a corrosive acid or alkali produces gastritis of a critical sort. Spoiled food can cause it, too. Gastritis can arise from the presence of some infectious disease, from influ- enza and pneumonia to scarlet fever or measles. There can be gastritis from too-highly spiced foods, from food allergies, from various drugs including some antibiot- ics. Gastritis from alcohol is a common condition. Symptoms are variable: A feeling of fullness in the stom- h, hearburn or lesser pain, headache, dizziness, vomiting, fever, exhaustion, coated ton- gue, All today's letter tells us is that the patient has gastritis-- nothing about his eating, drink- fing or working habits, except TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS June 19, 1963... The first Zeppelin, the Deutschland, was launched 53 years ago today--in 1910 --a symbol of Germany's progress in this field of flight that was to alarm British authorities. Britain constructed the airship Mayfly but it met with disaster on its trial' flight and with the outbreak of the First World War, Ger- many was well in advance fin airship construction. Much of Germany's success in airships was due to the work of Count von Zeppelin. A number of tragic losses of such big craft--including the British R-38 and R-101, the German Hindenburg and the U.S. Navy's Akron and Macon--finally doomed the type. 1903--Regina was porated as a city. 1867 -- Emperor Maxi- milian Of Mexico was exe- cuted. incor- that work makes him short of breath, The gastritis alone shouidn't make him huff and puff, since his heart is good. What about his lungs and respiratory sys- tem, however? Did the breath- lessnes exit before the gas- triti started? Is the patient, by any chance, just plain out of condition from lack of exer- cise? Is he overweight? Does he overeat? How about alco- hol? Common sense must be the perpetual companion of good medicine. If a patient evades the obvious rules of health, it is fruitless to pretend that gas- tritis is the problem and that its cure is up to the doctor, Irriation of athe stomach, like anywhere else, must be treated first of all by removing its cause, If it is food, medications or alcohol, the irritant must be stopped. In that sense, diet is the cure. That doesn't mean a rigid or fancy diet. It means a non-ir- ritating but reasonable one. That is, in such cases, almost invariably an effective treat- mént and very little if any medicine is needed. Sometimes it is easy for al- most everybody but the patient to recognize this. But if gas- tritis iss due to unwise eating and-or drinking, some patients would rather keep on suffering than give up faulty habits. GALLUP POLL sider whether they should be protected by the Ancient Monu- ments Act, as most of them have either been in service or occupied by military forces. These forts are large installa- tions, much larger than build- ings which normally qualify for such protection, and it would in- volve heavy financial burdens to treat them as ancient monu- ments. The question, however, now has to be faced owing to the substantial withdrawal of mili. tary forces from these areas. Many of them have become sur- plus to official requirements. But by regulations of the treas- ury department, the government department owning them is bound to dispose of them on the best terms it can secure. WANTS REVISION This usually means that the properties are sold by public auction to the highest bidder. The Ancient Monuments Board fears that this will bring pos- sible disastrous consequences to important historical features, or even to the existence of the buildings. So the board is sug- gesting to. the government that the regulations concerning them might be revised. It is suggested that disposal of the old fortifications could be considered in the light of their value as historical monuments and places of amenity rather than as revenue-producing prop- erty. The minister of public buildings and works has already requested the advice of the board on how far the proce. dures used for ancient monu- ments should be applied to the forts, The board states it is in no doubt as to the historical impor. tance of many of the buildings, and it is anxious that at least the best of them should be pro- tected by law. Even if this does not result in their permanent preservation, says the board, it will at least ensure that all pos- sibilities are exhausted before any of them are destroyed. It hopes that some of them will be taken over by local municipal councils for use as public parks and places of local interest with definite tourist value. Three forts in particular are mentioned as most desirable to be handed over to the Ancient Monuments Board. These are Fort Cumberland at Ports- mouth, the best example in Eng- land of a large bastioned fort of the late 18th 'century; Fort Brockhurst, also at Portsmouth, an early polygonal fort with a separate keep, and Fort Bur. goyne at Dover, which shows the final stages in the develop- ment of polygonal forts. These would illustrate the develop- ment of fortification over a period of 150 years. Communications Strife Question Splits Public By CANADIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Strikes by workers in com- munication industries -- such as newspapers, telephone, radio and TV -- should not be made illegal say almost half of the Canadian population. According to a Gallup Poll study, 44 per cent of the people feel governments should not en- act laws against strikes in the field of communications; on the other hand 41 per cent say such strikes should be forbidden by law; and 15 per cent have no opinion. Shouid be forbidden ...... Should not be .. No opinion National average However, when it comes to those who belong to labor unions, a substantial majority (56 per cent) believe there should be no interference in the right to strike. Among non- union Canadians 45 per cent would have strikes banned in communication industries. The question asked was as follows: "Do you think strikes by workers in communication in- dustries, such as newspapers, telephone, radio and TV should or should not be forbidden by law?"

BROWNE SAIGON, Viet Nam (AP)-- Yellow-robed Buddhist monks, pledged to non-violence, present one of the most serious threats President Ngo Dinh Diem's pro- Western government has faced in its eight stormy years. Diem's officials are worried that the unarmed demonstrators may be more than a match for their large, American-advised army, battle-tested though it is in jungle fighting agains. Com- munist guerrillas. Until now,. the Viet Cong Communist guerrillas--led und armed from neighboring North Viet Nam--have been the only force Diem has been unable to overcome, But the religious revoit is ominous, in a country where 80 per cent of the population is Buddhist, ruled by an authori- tarian Roman Catholic presi- dent. To meet it: Security troops are on the move throughout the country. Secret police are everywhere. The presidential palace in Saigon and neighboring streets have been converted into a fort- ress. Police are circulating ques- ticrmaires to all families, re- quiring declerations of any re- ligious or political affiliations. Public assemblies have been banned and nothing may be published without review by government officials. Hundreds Ne persons, includ- ing Buddhist monks caught dis- tributing propaganda, have becn arrested, ; PURSUES TOUGH LINE Diem evidently has decided to pursue the same tough line that has checked most opposi- tion movements, Heretofore, all non-Communist opposition to the government has been split into factions, disorganized and inef- fective. In 1960, rebel army units seized Saigon but collapsed within a few days for lack of organization. But there are strong indica- tions many different political factions see in the Buddhist movement a potential united front against the government, The Viet Cong itself has adapted its propaganda against the gov- ernment to the theme of reli- gious oppression. A movement which a short time ago was a scattering of Buddhist demonstrators has be- come a powerful political fac- tor. It began May 8, observed in- ternationally as Buddha's birth- day. The government had for- bidden the public display of any flags other than the na- tional flag, and Buddhist leaders in the central Vietnamese city of Hue objected. A demonstra- tion followed, and eight persons were killed when government armored cars moved in. Hue is in a region controlled politically and economically by President Diem's brothers, Ngo Dinh Canh and Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc. : Because the president, his family and many of his top BY-GONE DAYS 25 YEARS AGO A.

Bu* the flood of letters which reached me served to show that Canadian people are far more generous than their government. 'I was most impressed with your article," wrote Mrs. M. Lutke, of Kamloops. 'Surely the majority of Canadians can- not be so small and uncharit- able as not to agree with you. But for the grace of our Lord, we could be 'existing' in Asia, not 'living in affluence' in Can- ada. Can you suggest anything for the average Canadian to do, -- writing to our own Mrs. Lutke closed by expres- sing a widely held and far sighted fear. 'I'm very much afraid that soon it will be too late t6 offer help--it will not be in our power any longer." Several readers wrote to sug- gest that, since our government is accumulating a deficit year after year, we cannot afford to give away more money. 'You consider giving away $48,000,000 niggardly," wrote E. Glanfield, of Welland. "To me that is a pretty large sum. How can you figure that we should give any more?" PROVIDES JOBS I replied to that letter, to try to explain some very inter- esting points raised by reader Glenfield. I described that Can- ada gives as aid to needy coun- tries no' cash, but Canadian- made goods or Canadian-grown food. Thus in effect our foreign aid program is a_ sort of year-around 'winter works pro- gramme", providing jobs for Canadians. "Suppose we gave, on the same conditions, an extra $200 million each year. That money would be spent by the govern- ment in Canada. It would cre- ate more employment in 'an- ada. Much of it would come back to the government in the form of taxes, corporation taxes paid by manufacturers on their profits or income taxes paid by factory workers or farmers on their earnings. It would, in fact, be something of a pump-prim- ing operation for Canada: and would not effectively cost us anything like the nominal fig- ure on the price tag." My explanation exp! ained we" other points, which provided a complete answer. "Your. letter was quite an eye opener for me.'"' Mr. Glan- field replied from Welland. "Now I understand what this .foreign aid means, and as long as it means giving Canadian goods instead of, as I thought, giving money I am all for it. My work days are over as I am going on 74, but I like to see our country prospering and men working. When friends grumble about all we give away, I can now tell them what it means, I appreciate the trouble you went to in writing to explain so fully to me." GOOD SAMARITAN Other letters from readers without exception favored the Christian attitude of Canada as a world-wide Good Samaritan; some rightly praised the work being done in this field by vol- untary organizations, such as the Save the Children Fund, and the Unitarian programme of food and medical aid to In- dia and other countries; and the' United Nations relief pro- grammes to which Canada con- tributes. Is $48,000,000 a niggardly con- tribution in foreign aid? Can we afford it? That figure is ap- proximately the same as Brit- ish Columbians spent on beer last year; the same as Quebeck- ers spent on whisky; slightly more than the federal govern- ment paid out to subsidise the storage of grain which Cana- dians could neither eat nor sell.
