The rioting started when Aniéfican students insisted -- 'in defiance of standing ofders for the Zoié -- on raising the U.S; flag in ffotit of schools, And thié has beet the 'pattern throughout the étoritiy history of thé Canal. ih 1903 Panama was a province 6f Colombia, which dématided terms fot the proposed canal that angeréd Président Théodoré Roosévelt. The U.S. égged the Panamanian natio- hali#té into revolt, quickly reée- éogtiizéd Panama as an independéht étaté and gave it military support. Roosévelt forcéd the Canal agrée- meiit on the young state. That was the beginning of 4 long histofy of political chicanery and préssiire tactics by the Americans in thé Canal Zone. Little wondér théré is strotig anti-colonial féeling in Pariama. Thé conduct of Amer- feans in the Zone has contributed -Ghicanery And Pressure -Feature Canal History to the féeling: Thé Christian Science Monitor obsérves that "there ate too many lush jobs in thé Canal Zone, with easy living ladled out by political patronage in Washing- ton. Thé résult is a frantic and con- tinuous effort to protect them against any inroads by the people atid workers 6f Patiama." The other sidé of the coin is that the U.S. pours nioney into thé Panamarian économy through thé Canal operation. There is also the fact, which must be faced by Panama, that the Canal is rapidly bécoming obsolete. Big new cargo véssels cannot pass through it. Other couritriés: in the Isthmus have offered the U.S. deals to cut & hew trench to replace the Panama Canal -- atid political considerations could make the building of a new canal not much more expensive than reconstruction of thé old one, Panama could not rebuild the cairial alone. Practiéal. considerations would appéar to maké conciliation thé course of wisdom for both sides, Assembly Plan Puzzles Oné Of Frotiténac's first dots as «governor after his arrival iri Québéc in 1672 was to summon thé thrée étatéi -- clergy, nobility and com- moné -- to attend the formal indu- guration of his regimé. Hé wad reprimatided, becaude stich assemb- lies, Ktiown to the French as States- Genefal, were not popular with monarehé who professed to rule by diviné right. Philip IV of Francé convened thé firet States-General in 13802, to back him in his fight with the Pope of the day. It was a national as- aémbly, somewhat resenibling the English Parliament but without ite power fo tax and legislate. It eventually becamé the national con- atituent assembly of France. Now the Federation of St; Jean- Baptiste Societies wants to convene "the States-General of Frerich Canada", and has réeéived support from La Présse and some other Quebée publications. But the Mont- real Star i¢ puzzled. It asks: "What doés 'States-General' mean in the context of Quebec in 19647 Ate the St. Jéan-Baptiste Societies thinking in terms simply of a vast convention of their own? Are they thinking of a méeting centred on the Legislature -- which is, after all, the néarest thing we have to States-General in the historic aénse? Aré they thinking simply of a vast sampling of public opinion -- and if 80, through what machifi- ery?" There is, in fact, @ vast sampling of public opinion on the issues of bilingualism and biculturalism be- ing undertaken at the present time, by the Laurerideau-Dunton royel commission. There is, too, a com- mittee of the Quebée Législature studying the future constitutional relations between Quebec and the rest of Canada. La Press does not thik the States-General, which it visualizes as a sort of grand as- sizés, would confliet with the in- quiriés almeady undér way. But no one has said just how the "grand assizes" would be organized or how it would operate. Panhandle Proposals A few yéars ago, whén negotia- tions opened between Canada and the United States on a Columbia River power dévelopment project, the Sudbury Star suggested, with tongue slightly in cheek, that talks on the Alaska Panhandle become part of the negotiations. The Al- aska Panhandle is a strip of land that extends southerly from the main area of Alaska to effectively eut off Northern British Columbia from the Pacific seacoast. In the negotiation of a Columbia River powér treaty between the two coun- tries it seemed reasonable to nego- tiate aecess to the ocean through the Alaska Panhandle to give sea- port facilities to Northern British Columbia and the Yukon Territory.

They will find another chapter in the story of the polities and power plays that saw Britain acceding to the wishes of the United States as boundaries were settled. Is the Alaska Panhandle a dead issue 60 years later? Not entirely. There is a motion on the order paper in the House of Commons at the present time which reads: 'That, in the opinion of this House, negotiations should be en- tered into immediately with the government of the United States of America with a view to re-locating the present international boundary between the province of British Columbia and the state of Alaska to the end that Canada will have a sufficient number of tidewater ports in economically advantageous locations as to allow for the full development of Northern British Columbia." : Will the motion ever come to a full-dress debate in the Commons? If past patterns prevail, the answer is in the negative, because it comes from a private member in Oppo- sition. But we agree with the Star that it would be a moment in his- tory if the Canadian Parliament debated the subject and agreed that representations be made -to the Unitd States to open up the Alaska Panhandle to permit Canadian ac- cess to Pacific seaports. It could be called the "Alaska Corridor." Bible Thought Stand fast, therefore, in the lib- erty wherewith Christ hath made us free. -- Galatians 5:1. REPORT FROM U.K. Bar-Room Boycott Ordered By Union By M. MCINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent FOR The Oshawa Tiniés LONDON -- Discrimination by_union mémbers against their fellow - workers who are not union members has now invad- é4 the most sacred précinet of the British working man--his choicé of the public house in which he will do Ris drinking. Oné of the country's inost powerful unions, the 52,000 strong Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Fire- mén, has given its official ap- proval to a bar-room boycott of workers who refuse to join a union, The union members . havé bere told point-blank that social liowship between members YOUR HEALTH and mnon-mémbers is to be taboo. The movement towards this ban was started by the gerieral sécrétary of thé union, a few weeks ago. The official, Albert Griffiths, in a public statement to his union's members, said he Was very much distressed to see paid-up members of the union énjoying a casual pint of mild and bittér in thé com- patiy of nofi-members. He sug- gested that this practice would havé to stop. SUGGESTION ENDORSED Mr. Griffiths did not let the matter rest there. He went to a meeting of the national ex- éoutive thé union, of which hé ig @eneral secretary, and put/ the proposal for the ban on Hepatitis Victim Must Avoid Drink By JOSEPH G, MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: My husband had a severe case of hepatitis in December, 1962, and two re- lapses after that. For several months now, he has had no trouble at all. We have heard that he should not drink alcoholic beverages for a certain time. Is this true? How long should he wait?--Mrs, N.M Yés, it's true. Hepatitis means that the liver célls Have become inflaméd. It is a diffuse disease. The whole liver ig affected, not just one little part, People usually récover from hepatitis (yes, there are excep- tions) but it takes time, While the disease is active, the liver enlarges in size; there is jaun- dice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) to varying degrees; the liver does not function as effi- ciently as it should and tests can be made to measure this. As the patient recovers, these conditions reverse themselves. The liver subsides toward nor- mai size. Function revives. The jaundice fades away. But even after all this has oc- curred, the liver still needs time to régain its ability to function well, Remember that the hepatitis can cause some scarring of the liver. So can alcohol. This we call cirrhosis--a scarring and hard- ening of the liver. Some people have cirrhosis without ever drinking alcohol, but others who drink are more often subject to this trouble. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS and Gen, Charles de Gaulle, | leader of the Free French forces, reached agreement at Algiers 20 years ago to- day--in 1944--on a British- French nationa committee of co-operation toward com- mon victory in the Second World War. 1662 -- The French play- wright Moliere was born. 1956 -- The Soviet Union set a goal calling for a six per cent increase in heavy industry over a five-year period. To risk scarring from alcohol in addition to such scarring as has already occurred from the hepatitis, is, te my way of think- ing, foolhardy. The liver has great powers of regeneration, but these powers should bé given a chance. Therefore, the patient who has recovered from hepatitis ought te refrain from alcohol for at léast one year after the jaundice and ¢nlargement have dis- appeared, and the liver function has returned to normal, QUEEN'S PARK fraternizing with nonunion embers. before it. After the meeting, Mr. Grif- fiths said: "The executive has fully én- dorséd my rémarks.Many indi- vidtial union branches, too, have given their support to the suggestion, Members are fed up with non-unionists riding on their backs. They feel that somethifig should bé doné t6 remind themh of théir oblipa- tions." Mr. Griffiths émphasized that when he issued his statement urging the baroom boycott he was not voicing only his own opinions, but was reéflecting the very strong views of the members of his union, DUTY TO CONTRIBUTE "If non-unionists," said Me, Griffiths, "accépt béttér wages and conditions which the union has won from British Railways, surély it is their duty to con- tribate to the funds of the union through their meéember- ship." A strong effort 18 béltig madé by the various unions of railway employees to take hiémber- ship compulsory for all em- ployees of British railways. Some meetings have been held recently bétweerl the locomo- motiv engineers and firemen and the other railway union chiefs td discuss plaris whereby they might put pressure on the railways to accept compulsory union membership. Along with this, the unions are asking that union subscriptions be deducted ftom the men's wage packets, At present the attitude of British Railways is not antago- nistic to the unions' viéwpoint. The company's policy, rather, is one of encouragement. New- comers are told about the union which would cover the jobs they have been hired to fill, but no compulsion is placed on theni to join. That i¢ not g60d enough for the unions, and the "bar-room boycott" is a move to shift the pressure from thé British Rail- ways to the individual workers who have not yet become union members. Increase In Taxes Likely To Be Big BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- It now appears as though the tax increasés this winter will be major ones, Since writing yesterday Pre- mier Robarts has reported that he won't wait for the report of his committee on taxation be- fore making major changes. Which would indicate he is ready to go, This year there has been the biggest demand ever for tickets to the opening of the !egisla- ture. Slightly over six hundred guests can be jammed into the House for the ceremonies--on the floor and in the Speaker's and public galleries. More than twice this number have been trying to get. seats, 10 NEW MEMBERS Part of the reason for the added demand is that there are 10 more members than before. And each member wants a cer- tain number of seats, The opening is a good show to see once. There is pomp and color. The Lieutenant-Governor has a services escort, and himself is in uniform with gold braid aplenty and a cocked hat and sword. Senior judges of the courts skill to are on hand and other digni- taries. And of course the ladies are out en masse--with hats which make the lieutenant-governor's gold-spangled head - piece look > a discarded daisy, eyond this color, however, the proceedings are dull, : SPEECH FROM THRONE The main act is the reading of the speech from the throne by the _lieutenant-governor, This is a long document--av- erage reading time is 45 min- utes---prepared by the govern- ment and essentially is a lauda- tory statement of what it has done in the preceding year plus some hints of what will be done at the session being launched. During the . re; @ people fidget, yawn in the close air-- never good in this chamber, but particularly heavy on this day with so many people breathing it--and suffer- the monotony, which in some years is relieved by a page boy fainting.

Among Canada's food and bev- erage industries, the worth of \brewery production rates only slightly below 'meat products"; it is higher than "dairy prod- uets"' and "canning and process- ing"; and it exactly matches the total value of production of "distilled liquors" and 'wines' and "carbonated beverages."
