¢ Oshawa Zunes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher 'WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Poor Nations Dreams Cannot Be Dismissed External Affairs Minister Paul Martin told the United Nations Conference on Trade and Develop- - ment in Geneva that Canada will try to eliminate tariffs and other barriers in the way of trade with the underdeveloped nations. He con- ceded Canada had a selfish interest --- we stand to gain in any enlarge- ment of world trade. Mr. Martin is a patient man -- and delegates from industrially developed nations have needed a lot of patience at Geneva as re- presentatives of some of the have- not countries make raucous de- mands for "immediate" improve- ment in trade. There was no excuse, however, for the arrogant response of U.S. Undersecretary George Ball -- who has been sharply criticized by several leading U.S. newspapers. Mr. Ball had some legitimate points to make: The developing countries cannot expect to re- organize world trade to have it all their own way. But Mr. Ball said it in a peculiarly offensive way. Here is the Christian Science Moni- . tor's "free translation" of his speech: "Now you children go home and behave yourselves and leave this matter of trade to us. Father knows best. We will extend our own trade 'organization somewhat, in our own way, to accommodate you a little. If you will adjust yourselves to our forms of investment and the ways we want you to protect it for us, then in a very long time, and at very slow speed, you can manage to start to lift your own economic systems." The Monitor points out that this was not only an arrogant way to present some valuable cautions to a group whose hopes are bound to leap ahead of their abilities, but also a splendid way of missing the point of the entire conference -- the constructive point. The present rules and forms by which world trade is carried on may very well be archaic, designed as they were to protect the rich nations from the poor. Domestic economies of the in- dustrial nations were in a similar condition a half century ago, with the control of siciety vested in wealthy business interests. But social pressure and political deve- lopment forced changes on those economies, bringing the countries much closer to social and economic democracy. The poor once dreamed of tearing down the class structure of the rich; as it happened, the structure was changed in more subtle, less destructive and more far-reaching ways. Now the poor nations may be dreaming of the rich nations in the same way --- and once again the rich will not be able to stifle the pressure for change. More Business Activity If current plans are realized, Canada's 1964 capital expenditures will not only be higher than ever before but also will register "a . significant upturn" in the nation's ~'Atotal"output for the first time since 1957, according to the Bank of Montreal's business review for 'March. The review says: "This year, on the assumption that gross national product rises by 5.5 per cent in current dollar terms, capital expenditures could represent about 23.3 per cent of GNP ... Current investment plans seem somewhat more broadly based" than in mid-1950s "with a large part directed towards the creation of facilities to meet in- creased domestic demands and to improve the competitiveness of Canadian industry." The 8.4 per cent rise in capital expenditures planned this year for business includes a rise by manu- facturers of some 15 per cent, Substantially larger investments are planned for new capacity. by the steel, cement and pulp and paper industries and, in the secondary manufacturing field, by the pro- ducers of transportation equipment, rubber and textiles. Outlays planned by business "are almost certain to ensure a higher level of construction activity in the coming year", even if the expansion in housing does not prove to be as strong as now expected, the bank says. While the possibility cannot be ignored that some weakness may develop in the economy as the year progress, the "present outlook seems very favorable indeed for continued buoyancy in demand con- ditions both at home and in Can- ada's chief external markets." The capital expenditure program 'will be an important additional factor in maintaining the present upward trends in incomes and _ business activity."

McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- The Home Sec- retary, Hénry Brooke, is in trou- ble over the extensive privileges which are allowed to members of foreign embassy and high commission staffs under the guise of diplomatic immunity. This question has come to a head over the disclosures of the number of people who are en- YOUR HEALTH titled to diplomatic immunity, and of the extent of the privil- eges which are denied to the average British citizen. This matter came to light in recent weeks when a number of cases came into court in which motorists were charged with driving or parking offences, In these particular cases, the de- fence put up was that those charged were entitled to dipio- ma.ic immunity, and therefore could not be ¢alled upon to Damage To Liver Causes Cirrhosis By J. G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is cirrhosis of the liver? Is it can- cer? What causes it?--MRS. JO No, cirrhosis of the liver is not cancer. It is a hardening of the liver. Cancer of the liver is not very common in this part of the world, although it is in many parts of the Orient and Africa. Cancer can occur in a cirrhotic liver, The liver does a complex va- riety of things: it provides cer- tain digestive juices (bile); it helps filter waste products from the blood; it converts nutrients such as sugar and protein into readily available forms; it stores copper, iron, and starch; it produces Vitamin A as well as fibrinogen, which is an' im- portant part of the blood re- quired for healing wounds. Sometimes many of the cells of the liver are put out of ac- tion. Fibrous tissue forms and constructs the organ, further impairing its function. It is surprising to realize how much of the liver can be dam- aged without disabling it or the patient. All the same, when the liver has reached a. certain stage of this damage, there is _ no.hing that can be done to re- verse the process. Do not let this be too discour- aging, however. The problem is to prevent the damage from be- coming any greater, because TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS April 1, 1964... The CPR announced' six years ago today--in 1958-- that it would begin eliminat- ing firemen from freight and yard diesel locomotives in May. CPR president N. R. Crump said "contin- ued insistence of the fire- men's union that Canadian Pacific retain firemen on freight and yard diesels when theré is no work for them to do can no longer he allowed to prevent the rail- way from providing the eco- nomic and efficient trans- portation service to which Canada is entitled." 1923 -- Britain removed its embargo on Canadian cattle. 1950--NATO defence min- isters at The Hague ap- proved a collective plan of self-defence, even a damaged liver can keep on serving you rather well for a long time, If you take care of it, that is. But abuse it, and you will pay a heavy price. Causes of cirrhosis aré var- ied. These also are different types of the disease, techni- cally, but that does not change the principal picture as I have outlined it. Cirrhosis is still liver damage whether the im- mediate cause is obstruction of the blood supply, or of the bile passages, or direct infection of the cells. Poisoning, faulty nutrition and infection are the main causes Of cirrhosis, although other factors may add to the troubles. Alcoholics sometimes get 'cir- rhosis of the liver, and for that reason some people jump to the conclusion that "drinking is the cause of cirrhosis." This is not always true, Alco- hol is one of many poisons which can damage the liver and one of the chief ones. Notet he repeated warnings about using various cleaning fluids and sol- vents unless there is plenty of ventilaiion. Liver damage is one of the risks if you breathe the fumes in too great concen- tration. Heavy drinkers often don't eat properly, so that adds to the risk to the liver damage from faulty nutrition. But cirrhosis also sometimes attacks people who have never taken a drink in their lives, and have always been careful of iet. Some other form of poi- soning, infections; and prob- ably other less apparent factors account jor these. cases. answer these charges in court. Under these circumstances, the courts had no alternative but to discharge the accused per- sons. DEBATE IN LORDS In due course the matter was raised in parliament, and par- ticularly in the House of Lords. There Lord Derwent, minister of state for the Home Office, pro- duced some figures which the noble lords found startling. He said that since January 1, the London County Council has is- sued 1975 '"'excise exempt" li- censes for diplomatic vehicles. During last year, there were re- ports of 50 traffic incidents in London alone in which drivers chaimed' diplomatic immunity, and no proceedings were taxen in 2078 parking cases for the same reason. This aroused the ire 6f lords even on the government side of the House, Lord Killearn, a for- mer ambassador himself, lash- ed out: "This immunity has been per- verted for reasons for which it was never intended. It was never intended to cover subor- dinate staff like chauffeurs, but only ambassadors or high com- missioners and their immediate staffs. There are now about 2000 people involved, and this is intolerable." CYNICAL ATTITUDE Lord Hobson, who is a So- cialist peer said that, by inter national convention, all diplo- matic staffs are expected to ob- serve the rules and laws of the countries in which they serve. Lord Derwent found himself in rather hot water when at first he denied that the foreign office has circularized other departs ments asking that no action be taken over traffic offences by those claiming diplomatic im- munity, Later he qualified this by say- ing: "The Police Commission has issued instructions that parking regulations should not be en- forced against such people with full rigidity." Public feeling has been rune ning high on this question be- cause of the frequent items in the newspapers regarding of- fenders who have got them- selves cul of trouble by claint ing diplomatic immunity for in- cidents and offences for which British citizens would probably be severely punished. This is looked upon generally as an in- fringement of the courtesies al- lowed to foreign diplomats re- presenting their countries in London, Ronald W.

OTTAWA REPORT Minister Tackles Retarded Problem | By PATRICK NICHULSON ' OTTAWA -- The tragedy of Canada's 570,000 mentally - re- een citizens is being vigor+ ou of the with which she has tackled her first year as minister of na- tional health and welfare. Addressing a meeting of the Gyro Club here in Ottawa on a recent evening, she captured her audience from the very first sentence of her speech. "T wonder whether you real- ize that during the time we have spent together at this very enjoyable dinner--two hours-- 100 babies have been born across Canada?" she asked. "Of these 100 babies, three will de mentally retarded.

And it's about time for more us to speak on their behalf." ; Miss LaMarsh"s indi- cated for the first time the wide scope of this handicap, affecting 570,000 Canadians, in round fig- ures, MOST CAN BE HELPED Too many of us think of the mentally retarded individual as needing institutional care. This is not correct, she said. It is only the severely retarded, numbering about five per cent of all cases, or about 30,000 Ca- nadians, who need institutional care, -- The middle group, called the trainables, is much larger; these total about 100,000 cases. Then there is the very large group with the least degree of affliction; these are referred to as the educables, and total over 400,000. "The fate of the educable and trainable depends to a large extent on our acceptance of- them in the community," Miss LaMarsh said. 'Like the rest of us, they tend to rise to meet expectations. If 'little is pro- vided for them and, expected from them, they may achieve little." Miss LaMarsh .warned that we may instinctively be intoler- ant of deviations from the nor- mal--'whether we call the de- viation mental retardation, men- QUEEN'S PARK 1 illness, crippling, aging or omething else.

Paul Mar- tin, once described how half our hospital beds are normally filled by sufferers from mental ill- ness. But, with the recent de- velopment of new drugs, mental illness can now often be treated at home, and can be cured or at least alleviated more swiftly than hitherto, , Miss LaMarsh expressed her hope a the i ys omy confer- ence will spre the that the retarded sth ae o. group apart, but require the same individual planning and services as the rest of us. Highway Naming Derided By Sopha BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO -- Yes, let's not have this. A voice finally has been 'raised in the House against memorials to the living. A Conservative backbencher suggested that Highway 401 should be named the Leslie M. Frost Highway. Liberal Elmer Sopha took a strong, derisive, objection. This practice of naming mon- uments after living men was really started by Ontario Hydro after the Second World War. It began dedicating power dams to its own. officials, con- tractors and other people while they were sitll alive, This was in highly question- able taste, but Mr. Sopha is the first man really to come out against it here. One wonders what Mr. Frost thinks of the suggestion. As a man of dignity, reserve and lack of. side, his natural first reaction should be to shud- der. But then as a man dedicated to history he could also have certain longings. The former premier certainly deserves and one day quite probably will get, a monument. But, Mr. Sopha said, 'Let his- tory give it to him not a bunch of politicians." POOR SITTERS The Liberal member's de- rision came in the charge that historically it was only Tories who sought such honors. He was at least to this extent right so far as we here are con- cerned. Portraits of recent PC pre- miers have quickly been on the walls. But it took years to get por- traits of Liberals Mitch Hep- burn and H. C, Nixon, FROST ARCHIEVES Speaking of history, one mon- ument Mr. Frost already has left is the provincial archives. Under the aegis of the _his- torically-minded premier, a well organized repository for public documents finally was estab- lished. There are many interesting papers, pictures and other memorabilia already gathered --including a collection of old newspapers. The latest collection to be re- ceived by the archivist are the official papers of Leslie M. Frost. Unfortunately they are not to be made public for some years.
