| She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1964--PAGE 6 Provincial Government Assaults Our Freedom In one piece of shameful legis- lation, the Ontario Government would wipe out the safeguards of individual rights painfully acquired over a thousand years of struggle against tyranny. "Shameful" is the adjective that best describes the legislation introduced in the Ontario legislature Thursday by Attorney- General Fred Cass. It is shameful that any attorney- general bred and raised under Eng- lish common law would even con- template such legislation. It is shameful that the prime minister. of the province would condone and approve such legislation. And it must be with a deep sense of shame that the people of Ontario face the unhappy realization that they have placed men in power in this pro- vince who-can promote--suchan outrageous attack on our funda- mental freedoms, The legislation introduced by Mr. Cass would give the Ontario Police Commission power to summon any person for questioning in secret and to jail him indefinitely if he refused to answer questions. The Police Commission would have the power to deprive such a person of legal counsel until he was in jail. There would be no provision for bail or appeal by a person so imprisoned. The person questioned would not have the protection of the federal and provincial Evidence acts. In other, words, a person could be pulled in off the street by. police, brought before the Commission and jailed without anyone outside know- ing about it. This is the very stuff of which a police state is made. The powers of the Ontario Police Commission would be, in effect, the powers of a Gestapo or Ogpu -- the powers of the secret police in any totalitar- ian state. Secret arrest, secret ques- tioning, secret jailing -- these are the instruments of dictatorship, the weapons which have always been used to destroy the structure of justice and the defence of individual liberty. Mr. Cass says the legislation is for "the public good', That, of course, is what Hitler said, and Mussolini and Stalin and Napoleon and a hundred other destroyers of the integrity of the individual. What is the public good? Is it the protection of the rights to fair trial that belong to every man, or the destruction of those rights to give police more power to act against a few hoodlums? Surely this is a question which does not need to be debated in a free society. Legal protection of the individual is not a privilege, but a right, and "the public good" is firmly based on that right. This principle has been reiterated in every great docu- ment defining and confirming the rights of free men. It is in Magna Carta: "No free- man shall be taken, or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any way destroyed, nor will we go upon him, nor will we send upon him, except by the legal judg- ment of his peers or by the law of the land." ' It is-in the Canadian Bill of Rights: "The right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the per- son, and the enjoyment: of pro- perty, and the right not to be de- prived thereof except by due pro- cess of law... No act of the Par- liament of Canada shall authorize or effect the arbitrary detention, imprisonment or exile of any per- son." It is firmly embedded in the British statutes and tradition. It is explicitly stated in the American Declaration of Independence aiid constitution, All this Mr. and _ his leagues in the Ontario Government would destroy. in this province. All this Mr. Cass and his col- leagues WILL destroy, unless the people of Ontario immediately let their wrath be known. col- Cass The men who have brought for- ward this legislation do not de- serve to hold public office. Those in appointed positions who give. it their approval must be dismissed; they are too dangerous to the public good, Those who vote for it must be defeated in the next election, because they will have forfeited public trust. Protection For Aged A recommendation which should get non-partisan support. in Par- liament has. been made in a Sas- katchewan government brief to the special Senate committee which is studying the problems of Canada's aged people. The brief urges federal action to help prevent older citizens from being swindled by the promo- ters-of worthless keep-young pro- ducts. It pointed out: "Old people are a special target for swindlers, hoaxes and exploita- tion. Sophisticated promoters and quacks capitalize upon the infirmi- ties of the aged through gross mis- representation of drugs of all kinds, diets, appliances and various cures advertised to cure or alleviate con- ditions which' require competent medical diagnosis and treatment." The brief said a national drug research laboratory should be estab- lished to do a thorough job of test- ing drugs, health and pliances.

Granby La Voix de L'Est-- Would it be preferable for Queen Elizabeth to refrain from visiting Quebec during her next trip to this country? One certainly has the impres- sion that it would. Not that the security measures would be insufficient to. protect her but unkind remarks and in- sults are often the weapons of those who wish to express their discontent and, in this case, the visit of the Queen to our province would in no way be pleasant After the violent incidents that have taken place re- cently in Quebec and in view of the attitude that certain separatist: elements take, one cannot answer for the conduct of these persons, even if their number is rather limited. It only takes a few individuals to make a mess of a recep- tion Demontrations during a royal visit, even if they were suppressed by the -police and denounced by the public, would arouse the ire of Eng- lish-Canada. The least inci- dent would be exploited to the full by English-speaking. ex- tremists " The people of Quebec in general have no objection to royal visit. They know that the Queen herself is in no way responsible for the at- ittude of the majority (in Can- YOUR INCOME TAX ada) toward them and that she can do absolutely nothing to change it. In the present circum- stances, however, they do not think it wise to expose her to the insults of a few individ- uals with closed minds. Be- cause of the risks that she would run, it would be prefer- able to cancel the royal visit. (March 10) Montreal Le Devoir--Some English-speaking circles are sincerely trying to. get to know us in our true light. But there are other elements who are mainly interested in en- tertaining themselves at our expense When young Toronto busi- nessmen invite Marcel Chaput to address them, they are not seriously trying to find out the Quebec point of 'view There are not three people in 100 in Quebec who take Cha- put seriously. Even the exhi- bitions of this man, which were interesting to us.in the beginning, have ended up making us unhappier. To pa- rade this man and his kind across the country is to take them more seriously than we take them in Quebec. There is a tendency in Eng- lish-Canadin opinion to play up the most extreme views that are expressed among us. When a loyalist senator or a militant separatist ex- presses views about the Queen exaggerating, in one direction or the other, the opinions of his compatriots, Questions Income Of Student Nurse By WILLIAM C. HALL B. Comm., CA QUESTION: My daughter, who is 20 years old, trained as a nurse last year. Her salary while training was approximate- ly $250. It Is my understanding that she is not taxable on this money and furthermore I can claim her as a dependant, Would you please comment? ANSWER: Your daughter would be taxable on moneys re- ecived as a nurse in training to the extent that her income from this source, as well as any other income she received in 1963, ex- ceeds her exemptions. However, money received by your daughter as. a, student nurse is not considered income for the purpose of qualifying as a dependant. You could, there- fore, claim your daughter as a dependant if her income from sources other than a_ student nurse does not exceed $950, and she was wholly dependent upon you for support in 1963 QUESTION: My mother-in- law and father-in-law reside in Europe. 1 contribute to their support by.sending food parcels, clothes, and small amounts of money. Could you please tell me if I can claim them as de- pendants? ANSWER: You are permitted to claim the actual amount spent for their support to a max- imum of $550 for each depen- dant, provided proof of support available and also provided they are pt lly or mentalls able to infirm (gene v not support themselves), Note, how- ever, that clothes, food, etc., sent at Christmas or as a birth- day present would not qualify as a'deduction in this regard. QUESTION: Do I have to re- port the amount of Unemploy- ment Insurance I ,received in 1963? ANSWER: No. This form of re- ceipt is net included in the com- putation of your 1963 income: QUESTION: When you enter a capital .cost deduction for a house from which you are re-. ceiving rent, for example a fur- nace, and the contractor does it on a "lump-sum" basis, how do you separate actual material used from the labor, or isn't the labor totally deductible? It is my understanding that all labor is an allowable deduction, Would it be on a percentage of the total, or would I have to get a detailed statement from the contractor? ANSWER: Labor pertaining to the installation of a capital asset such as a furnace is deem- ed to be part of the cost of the asset and must be depreciated at the same rate as the asset This 'type' of labor cost must be dis ished from labor per- taining to an 'income' trans- action where the material, labor, ete., are wriften off in the year the cost is incurred, for example, repairs to a house. Although no advantage exists in obtaining a '"'breakdown" of contract cost for income tax purposes, your attention is di- rected to the fact that labor cost is not'ex ax, which could result in a possible dollar saving of installation, gible fo ves ft he immediately grabs the headlines in English-language newspapers from one end of the country to the other. At the same time 10 Quebec res- idents may express temper- ate and reasonable views on the subject.

(March 10). Sherbrooke La_ Tribune -- Apparently. the province of Ontario is not about to adopt a system of bilingual highway signs. Recently a member of the legislature in Toronto was advised to go live in Quebec and told that he had probably been brain-washed . just be- cause he had proposed the in- Stallation of bilingual signs along the.Champlain Trail, a historic route that goes from » Mattawa to Georgian Bay. The member who made the stion, Mr. Leo Troy, de- our congratulations, cannot, however, extend any to the member who re- plied to him in the aforemen- tioed terms. That represent- ative of the people spoiled a good chance to advance the cause of understanding and the bonne entente and he showed a narrow-mindedness that we thought' was dis- appearing among our neigh bors to the west, but of which traces still remain in certain circles It is certainly not with such narrow. minds that we shall achieve friendly relations based on mutual respect and recognition of each other's rights. It. is regrettable to have to state that there are still people among our Eng- lish king compatriots who wal nch on no account to be heard outside the Quebec reservation Fortunately persons of this kind are getting rarer and their voices are being heard with less effect among the public. (March 14) TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS March 21, 1964... The U.S. - British - Soviet nuclear test-ban talks re- sumed in Geneva three years ago today--in 1961-- after a recess of 3% months, Before the Western powers had an opportunity to present what they con- sidered to be major conces- sions, the Soviet delegate withdrew the U.S.R.'s. pre- vious agreement to estab- lish. a test-control organiza- tion under a single admin- istrator.

McINTYRE HOOD (Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Conserva- tive revolt against the govern- ment's resale price mainten- ance legislation has brought a new, interesting and intangible aspect into the coming general election. The rebels probably number- ed about 50. Of these, 21 voted against their own party's bill, while the others abstained from - voting. This means that about one in seven of the Conserva- tive members of the Commons were in opposition to their own party and the government. They provided the only opposi- tion to the measure, since the Labor members sat in their seats and did not vote at all, and the Liberal members sup- ported the government. The intangibl factor lies in the effect which this break in the unity of the Conservative party will have on its election chances. The situation is made intriguing in that, even after the details of the bill had been published, the public opinion polls show that 43 per cent of the voters favor the bill, 29 per cent are against it and 28 per cent are undecided. This is a decrease of two per cent of those opposing the bill as com- pared with a_month ago, but a similar increase in the "don't knows". GOOD STRATEGY This is one explanation why the Labor party did not vote on the second reading of the bill, They did not want to op- pose legislation which is ap- proved by a substantial major- ity of the voters. While this bill is not likely, therefore, to injure the govern- ment's election prospects as & whole, there is considerable speculaton as to the fate of the BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO March 21, 1924 Rey. A. M. Irwin, pastor of King Street Methodist Church, accepted a call to become min- ister of Whitby Methodist Church. The federal government voted $50,000 for the improving of Oshawa. Harbor: : Charles P: Davis was appoint- ed managing secretary of the proposed Old Boys' and Girls' Reunion planned for *the first week of August. South-east ward was the only part of the city where an elec- tion was necessary for alder: men. Candidates were ex-mayor John Stacey, O. R. Burns, A. J. Graves and N. S. Baird.

If the pools on the bill can be taken as an indica- tion of public opinion, these members may lose a substantial number of votes by their op- position to it. And that might be just enough to cdst some of them their seats. Rebels in political parties are never welcomed by the party stalwarts in the constiuencies, so the net results may be the loss of some Tory seats which 'might otherwise have been held. PERSONAL VENDETTA Meanwhile, the Beaverbrook press is continuing its unwaver- ing opposition to the bill abol- ishing price fixing, But there is a change 'n its tactics. The. op- position has now taken the form of a personal vendetta against Edward Heath, who sponsored and is responsible for the bill. Its attacks are now concentrat- ed on him personally This is nothing new for the Beaverbrook papers. They con- demned and attacked Mr. Heath when he was trying to negotiate Britain's entry into the Common Market. To the Daily Express, that was a sufficient reason for suggesting that he should re- sign or be retired from. minis- terial office. Now, with Mr. Heath promoting the resale price maintenance prohibition, the same. tactics are being fol- lowed. Mr. Heath is again being pic- tured as an enemy to the na- tion, and is being told that he should resign. But it.is highly significant that even after a month of all-out campaigning against the bill by the Express, its own public opinion poll shows no change in the per- centage supporting it, and a agate in the number against ft. WILSON AND DEFENCE Harold Wilson, the opposition leader, has now come out un- equivocally in favor of uwnilat- eral nuclear disarmament by Britain. In a television inter- view, he said that a Labor gov- ermment would end the agree- ment with the U.S. for Britain to build Polaris-carrying sub- marines. He would also hand over the British V-bomber force to NATO, with no strings attach- ed by which Britain could re- tain any control. over it. He went the whole way in declar- ing that Britain should give up the idea of having any nuclear defences at all, but should build up its conventional forces. While this policy will doubtless appeal to the members of the Committee of 100, and the Cam- paign for Nuclear Disarmament, it is not likely to satisfy the majority of the electors. The Conservatives have made out a very good case for Britain re- maining a nuclear power, both because of the need for main- taining its own nuclear deter- rent, and because the fact that it does have a nuclear force does give it a stronger and more positive voice in international affairs, particularly in the field of disarmament discussions. By Mr. Wilson's statement, however, the Labor party is now fully committed to a policy of doing away with Britain's nu- clear defences, a policy which the late Aneurin Bevan once said would have the effect of sending a British foreign minis- ter into international confer- ences totally naked, so far as effective defence measures were concerned. PERTINENT QUESTION Mr. Wilson has also been con- fronted with another question to which the country would like an answer. In an, article written for the newsletter of the Gen- eral and -Municipal Workers' Union, he gives a warning to the diehards of the trade unions that they will not have things all their own way if a Labor government takes office. He tells them they will have to accept rapid and_ intensive change and that many of the old restrictive practices will have to end. This has caused the Evening News and Star to pose the ques- tion "Why is Mr. Wilson wait- ing?" It suggests that since one of the deadliest restrictive practices is the unofficial strike, Mr. Wilson should be using his influence and his power now, to curb this practice, instead of merely threatening to do it if he becomes prime minister after the election. Why should he withhold that influence with the Labor unions just because a Tory government is in office? «Perhaps it is because if he tried to exercise it too strongly now, some of the trade unions might resent-it and turn against him, while if he were safely in office, he could afford to apply the pressure. And should a rash of strikes break out be- tween now and the election, it would militate against Labor's chances of success, We might - well echo the question: "Why is Mr. Wilson waiting?"
