Lae The Oshaton Times 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1964--PAGE 6 Castro Stands Indicted So What Else Is New? The Organization of American States has formally accused Fidel Castro of fomenting revolution throughout the hemisphere and specifically of sending arms into . Venezuela to help rebels attempt a Seizure of the capital city of Cara- cas. A report -- more than 100 pages of documents, photographs and other evidence -- has been submitted by a fact-finding com- 'mittee of representatives from four Latin countries and the. United States. The report declares that Castro's regime has supported intervention in neighboring republics almost since it came to power in 1959. It charges Cuba with distributing propaganda and funds, training pro-Communist agents and supplying arms to sub- versive elements. Weapons seized in Venezula and traced back to Castro included mortars, bazookas, recoil- less rifles, sub-machineguns, auto- matic rifles and high-power demo- lition charges. Making a report is one thing, however; doing something about it is another, Venezuela sees an "ur- gent need" for a meeting of hemis- phere foreign ministers to decide. on a course of actiop. But President 'Lopez Mateos of Mexico has sug- gested that a solution to the-Cuban problem be sought in the United Nations -- a rather obvious hint that the problem be left to solve itself, since any action in the UN would be blocked by the Communist members. The OAS has a treaty for mutual defence, which 'authorizes use of economic and diplomatic penalties against a nation found guilty of aggression; undg certain condi- tions it permits thé use of armed force. The United States has tried penalties; they don't work. Outside Mexico, the Latin states do not have the military strength to tackle Cuba. The United States must surely be wary of military involve- ment. The best defence against Cuba, of course, would be an honest effort by the Latin-American states to solve their own domestic problems. - But this they are extremely reluc- tant to attempt, Commonwealth Trade Harold Wilson, leader of the British Labor party, told a Mont- real audience last Friday that a full-dress Commonwealth confer- ence should be called to bring about a "spectacular increase in Common- wealth trade." He went on: "We have had no Commonwealth prime ministers' conference for three years, if we exclude from the reckoning the miserable and un- happy conference about the Com- mon Market in September, 1962, which we should all prefer to forget. One should be called at the earliest possible moment and amen wealth trade and Commonwealt development should be high on the agenda." Since Mr. Wilson will probably be prime minister of Britain after the next general election -- which must come this year -- we can as- sume that a Commonwealth con- ference will be high on his list of things to do. | Such conferences are valuable, if only because they provide a means for personal exchange of ideas be- tween the Commonwealth prime ministers. It would be too much to hope, however, that one of the results would be a "spectacular in- crease in' Commonwealth trade". It would be a highly desirable ach- ievement, but it is difficult to see just how it could be achieved unless the Commonwealth countries and particularly those with a-capa- city to sustain a large volume of trade -- formed a tight bloc en- joying enlarged preferences, Such a bloc, however, would be undesirable, It would be_a step towards protec- tionism when what is needed is freer international trade. Commonwealth development is something else. Many young states in the Commonwealth badly need investment and business skills. The better developed Commonwealth countries could help them, but the prime ministers of the more mature states would have to convince their less experienced colleagues that a certain amount of political stability and economic integrity is essential if investors are to take the respon- sibility and risk of long-term ven- tures in economic development.

The possibility of exporting power can now play an important part in a decision whether or not to protect with a particular development. Canada has immense hydro re- sources which still await develop- ment, but they are-located in areas which in the past have been' con- sidered too distant from possible markets. Recently, however, ex- periments with long distance trans- mission of power at very high vol- tages have been successful and it has now become practicable to make fuller use of more . remote sites, Indeed, a trans-Canada power grid is now a possibility.

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent For The Oshawa Times . LONDON -- A slashing attack on countries which he considers to be enemies of freedom on the High seas has been made by Sir Donald Anderson, 57, chairman YOUR HEALTH of Britain's P. and O.

Since then his per- sonality has changed com- pletely. Should he have had some form of hormone tréat- ment after the _ operation? Would this cause him to go through a, "change of life." He hasn't been easy to live with since, whether that is the cause or not.--SR Vasectomy is the severing (or ligating, or tying) of the vas federns. It is a simple surgical procedure. The duct. which carries the male sperm is shut off. The operation is, in short, a method of making a man sterjle. Surgically there isn't much to as operations go. Physiologi- cally, it doesn't make any dif- ference. It is completely unlike the '"'change of life." There is no change in the glandular sys- tem of the man. All that aap- pens is that the sperm no longer can create life. There' may (or may not) be a psychological reaction, an awareness in the man that he no longer can become a father. He THINKS that something has happened to make him less a man. For some, this is no prob- lem. For others it is, For those in between, there can be a sense of wondering, not "know- ing; an emotional stumbling block. © From the purely medical standpoint, vasectomy doesn't mean much of anything except that aman has halted his abil- ity to have more children. This can at times be an emotional bombshell, even: though the man had the operation per- formed for the sole purpose of making himself sterile. TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 3, 1964 ;.. The Newfoundland seal- ing vessel, Viking, carrying an American movie expedi- tion, was wrecked by an explosion which killed 24 persons 33 years ago today --in 1931. A royal commis- sion appointed to investi- gate the disaster reported the explosion was caused by the insecure fastening of tins containing gun powder. The Viking was owned by Bowring Bros. of St. John's, Nfid. 1943--An entire Japanese convoy was 'destroyed in the Bismarck Sea by the Allies in the Second World ar, 1960 ---.The elevation of seyen new Roman Catholic cf#dinals included the first NZro and first Japanese I do not favor sterlization either of a man (by vasectomy) or of a woman (by tying the tubes). Neither operation has any physical) effect, except sterlization. It does not cause change of life or sexual cap- ability. I withhold my sanction be- cause: 1--It is usually a permanent, irrevocable decision. Occasion- ally it may be possible to undo what has been done, but usually you can't. 2--People change their. minds later--when it is too late> 3--The psychiogical impact is unpredictable. It may make no difference at all to some. But to others, it is impossible to calculate the emotional con- q . The husband of SR is the same, physiologically, as before.

That is for individuals to decide as their consciences and beliefs dictate. But I don't think permanent, voluntary, surgical sterlization is wise. If there are regrets, doubts or worries later, they can't be resolved Dear Dr. Molner: My heart has an unusual beat: Sinus arrhythmia, Is this serious? Can it be corrected? I feel fine. --iM Please reread the last three words of your letter. "Arrhythmia" means a faulty or unusual rhythm. The '"'sinus" in this case refers to a part of the heart. ' Some irregularities 0: heart rhythm may be serious. Others may not. 'Sinus arrhythmia" is one of these. It eventually dis- appears. P ping. for special salty criticism, In his article, entitled 'British Shipping in 1964" he is quite outspoken in his condemnation of some of the practices which are current in the world of ship- o Sir Donald lashes out at the - United States which, he says, is seeking to dictate terms and * conditions to all liners sailing in or out of its ports with the aim of barring anything which might be considered detrimental to the United States. SHIPPING ENSLAVED 'It would be ironical,"' writes Sir Donald, "if after centuries of service organized and pro- vided for world trade without government control, shipping were now to be enslaved by governments in the name of freedom." Other governments which penalize shipping other than that of their own nationals, also come under the broadsides of Sir Donald's guns. "In South America," he says, most "are found the world's blatant practitioners of discrim- ination.. Ceylon, on a Charing Cross (or crossroads) of ship- ping routes, is the best example of a country demanding its own shipping be used with no pos- sible commercial justification or benefit." ATTACKS GREEKS On what he calls 'the ex- patriate international greeks, he makes this comment: "Their commanding position today stems to a major- extent from, the fact that they have been able to hire the best law- yers. And, so far as possible, they have shirked all national entanglements, commitments, controls and responsibilities." In one laconic paragraph, he says: : "The oil companies have all the information that anyone can have about the demand for tankers. But," he cracks, "the hunch of a Norwegian owner in some obscure fiord has been right just as often." Sir Donald's article is arous- ing considerable attention be- cause it has come ata time when the United States is in the midst of a heated argument with the shipping interests of other countries through its govern- ment's demands that all com- panies sending their ships to Unifed States ports must supply full documentation of their cargo Shipping rates and _ business practices, So far, this demand has been strongly resisted by Britain and other countries with large shipping interests.

Now letters from readers of this column are increasingly reflecting the rising public disgust. Our one- time politically unconscious population is getting aroused by the antics of our $18,000 a year MPs and $35,000 a year front benchers, who are using Par- liament, not as a forum for re- sponsible legislators, but as a hustings for self-seeking poli- ticking. : H.

They will. be. much more indignant when they learn the full measure of the hidden fringe benefits that now go with the job, One MP for instance has just received a cheque for an extra $900 to reimburse his cost of air travel around Can- ada during the last six weeks of the 1963 session. a ENGLISH SEPARATISTS From "Old Soldier" of Kel- owna I received one of many letters criticising the govern- ment's intent to spread 'the French language across parts of Canada--namely, nine prov- inces--where our constitution does not give it official s'and- ing.

PINLESS PAUL en Defence Miniser Paul Hell- yer is expected to be the target for deep ing questions by MPs, ptance of nuclear arms by Canadian forces, the economy drive shrinking our reserve forces, and the contrac- tion of our naval fleet are re- cent major policy decisions by Mr. Hellyer, which should have' prompted a thorough question- ing. But instead, the raids on armories and the consequent gathering up of rifles from' un- der- protected armories have been the subject of questions fired at him in the House of Commons. One correspondent writing to me on this subject tossed into the pot an ingenious nickname for our defence minister, ."Fir- ing-pin Paul," he cafled him. This suggestion prompted laughter on Parliament Hill, where another wit suggested a pithy shortening: "Why not 'Pinless Paul'?" said radio commentator Sam Ross -- be- cause many of the newly-pro- tected rifles already lacked their essenial firing-pin. ' _ The old Parliament Hill tradi tion of succinct descriptive nick- names is dying out. The last defence minister to rate this was Brooke Claxton, who intro- duced the first naval aircraft carrier and thereby won im- mortality as "Flat-top", Nursing Shortage Evidence Offered BY DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--The writer for one, is convinced there is a shortage of nurses, and _per- haps a crisis. We've been arguing the nurs- ing situation for years. Many people have said there is a serious shortage. The gov- ernment has denied this, It has been difficult to decide on the actual situation. But the health department estimates have been before the House, And in the debate there was enough evidence to convince this observer that there is a shortage, and probably a se- vere one, CORRECTED DYMOND The man who did most of the convincing was Liberal James Trotter of Toronto Parkdale. Mr, Trotter read a long re- cital of developments from the alleged shortage--whole floors in hospitals not able to open, slowdowns on weekends etc. And his sources were good-- hospital board reports, the On- tario Hospital Association and other representative bodies. But the point that was most impressive was a_ correction Mr. Trotter made of figures given by the health minister, Dr. M. B. Dymond. The health minister said that Ontario had one 'registered nurse for every 147 people--a very good figure, But Mr. Trotter said yes, they are registered but they aren't practising here. Forty-four per cent -of the nurses registered in Ontario, he said, were practising outside the province. The dispute over nurse sup- ply has largely been a battle of statistics over apparent prac- tical shortages, The statistics have denied the practical evidence. ' With this one figure knocked down, one suspects all the others, RNAO WEAK? Opposition speakers also were severely critical of the Regis- tered Nurses Association of On- tario. j They said the association was being run by supervisory nurses --only 15 per cent of. the pro- fession--and that the working nurses didn't have repre- sentation. It was even brought out that 'Dr. Dymond--the largest em- ployer of nurses in the province --was on the RNAO board. One was left with the im- pression that one of the first steps in a realistic approach to the nursing problem should be a thorough reorganization of the RNAO. 66] saved enough with my | termDlan loan to buy the model | I wanted 99 Yes--many car buyers find their financing costs less when they finance in advance at the Royal, so that they have more money to spend on the car itself: q A Royal Bank:termPlan loan puts buying power, bargaining power in your pocket-- lets you shop around for the best deal.
