XY Bye Oshawa Zanes Published by Canadian Newspopers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilsén, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1964 -- PAGE 6 tare ge E SOUR ES, , New Nuclear Treaty Sounds Election Bait There is something that smacks of double-barrelled election propa- ganda in the statement by British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas- Home that the United States and Great Britain has prepared a treaty on the non-dissemination of nuclear weapons. This treaty, he said, could be produced at any time the Soviet Union is ready to reach an agree-. ment, Then he began to tread on dangerous ground when he said that he did not think any practical steps could be taken on this until after the United States election, but he hoped they would be quickly taken after that event. A statement of this kind, coming from the head of a British govern- ment which is fighting for its life, could be a potent element in sway- ing votes towards that government. And with equal force it might be held that it is bound to draw sup- port to the incumbent president of the U.S. in his election campaign. The obvious inference to be drawn is that President Johnson had a hand in preparing this much-to-be- desired treaty, and that its imple- mentation depended on whether or not he again occupies. the White House after the U.S. presidential election. As a matter of fact there is nothing particularly new in the British prime minister's statement. It has long been known that Britain and the U.S. have wished to nego- tiate a treaty to halt any spread of nuclear weapon knowledge and know-how. And it has been just as well known that the Soviet Union is not in the mood to make any such agreement at the present time. With France and China now also involved to some extent in the world's nuclear race, it is obvious that Sir Alec's statement was designed as a vote-snatching mano euvre -- both for himself and his counterpart in the United States election. Communist Challenge Lord Thomson of Fleet, head of the almost world-wide Thomson newspaper, radio and television or- ganization, wrote for the Sunday Times of London, one of his news- papers, some interesting articles on his return from a visit to Russia, during which he spent 15 hours with Mr. Khrushchey on a tour of part of that- vast country. The final item on the 15-hour program which Lord Thomson shared with Khrushchev was a two-hour speech which the Russian leader made to a large audience of agricultural workers. Lord Thom- gon's reactions to this are described, in his own words as follows: "Towards the end he spoke of , Communism, its progress and its eventual triumph. He was at his best at this point and I am sure his words carried conviction to his audience, even if he was preaching to the converted. I came away profoundly disturbed by the character of this chal- lenge and the present weakness of our response, On their side, preoccupation with meeting high- er productivity quotas; on ours only too often unprogressive management with no real fore ward plamming, and unions too often concerned only with their sectional interests. If we are to meet the challenge of Com- munism, there must be a change of emphasis in our lives. We must put the nation's good above our own selfish interests." In this analytical statement, Lord Thomson has hit upon the crux of the differences between the ways of. Communion and those of the free world. Under Communism, the people -- all of them -- are dedi- cated zealots in support of their country's philosophy. Under free - enterprise and a capitalistic society, self interest is likely to play a greater part: in people's thinking than the welfare and well being of the nation. Perhaps this is one lesson which we can learn from Communism, if we are willing to learn anything at all. N. Ireland and Quebec To some extent there is a parallel between the situation in Ireland and that in Canada, although the analogy is rather reverse. The one difference is that Quebec is part and parcel of the Dominion of Canada, with only a small but vocal minority desiring separation. In Ireland, the situation is more likely that it would be if Quebec were separated from the rest of Canada and were an entirely free state, The ___gimilarly_in_ the two situations lies in the fact that in both areas there were minority groups which wish to change the status quo of both Quebec and Northern Ireland. Recently there have been demon- strations and near riots staged in the city of Belfast, capital of North- ern Ireland. Those responsible for, the demonstration are the minority Roman Catholic faction which has its objective the union of the six counties of Northern Ireland with She Oshawa Tanes T. L.

This objective is stoutly rejected by the large Protestant majority in Northern Ireland, but from time to time there are disorders and riots which indicate the razor-edge nature of the situation. This is an issue which has long inflamed Irish politics, just as the Quebec issue is likely to inflame Canadian politics until some kind of harmonious arrangement can be made to satisfy the aspiratians and demands of the French-Canadians, ~ The Irish situation has had a long history of violence, and that is likely to continue. May we hope that the problems of the relation- ship of French-Canadian Quebec to the rest of Canada may be resolved in a much more peaceful way. Other Editors' Views LOOK TO FUTURE (Niagara Falls Review) The immediate economic outlook is distinctly ensouraging. Yet those who make important national deci- sions must look beyound the next few months and weigh the implica- tions of recent authoritative warn- ings that the long-term problem is less one of merely maintaining the current rate of economic growth than of safely accelerating it. 'Bible Thought "Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it." 1 Chronicles 28:10. It is important to live for God as well as build for Him. Make sure that both are founded on Christ. ¢ \ ALL I SAD WAS- mE | LOVELY "THs Time TOUCHY SUBJECT IN OTTAWA YOUR 'HEALTH Wise To Find Out Cause Of Coughing By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear Dr. Molner: I have been bothered with colds and a hack- ing cough every winter. I have had TV X-rays and they are negative, and I do not smoke or drink. So what could cause these coughs? I am 68. -- H. M. A good many things besides colds and tuberculosis can cause coughs--although those are fre- quent causes. So is smoking, but you don't smoke. Post - nasal drip, resulting from something wrong in the nose, often quite minor, can in- stigate coughing, and it is com- monly more severe at night. Bronchiectasis, chronic bronchi- tis, various inflammations of throat or bronchial tubes, chronic or acute lung conditions other than tuberculosis--all of these add to the immense amount of coughing we do col- lectively. It is virtually impossible to make a valid guess as to the cause of a cough from even the most detailed description. And sometimes it isn't easy to track down the cause without a searching examination of nose, throat and lungs. Sometimes al- lengies are responsible. A "ner- vous cough" is not unknown. The cause may be serious, or it may be trivial. But it is worth consulting your doctor. A cough, even from some trifling cause, can do its own share of damage if allowed to continue indefinitely. It can in- terrupt sleep. It can be tiring. A hard coughing spell can make @ rupture worse, and can ag- gravate emphysema, So if you have a chronic cough, find the cause and get rid of it. Cough drops and cough mixtures may be fine for brief episodes of throat irritation, but they do nothing to cure the cough that hangs on. Dear Dr. Molner: Two years ago I broke my foot. Now, every 80 often, about 24 hours before it rains, my foot starts hurting. Is there any scientific reason for this? -- P. L. F. There probably is a reason, but it is hard to say what. Per- haps it is a result of an abrupt change in barometric pressure. After all, we know that a fall- ing barometer presages storms, rain or change in the weather. For many years some people with "rheumatiz" have said the pains in their joints foretold the weather much the way a bar- ometer helps to do so, When your foot was broken, it is likely that there was some damage to the joints. Or, in more techni- cal terms, some "arthritic changes." Affluent Nation Needs Floor Under Its Wages The importance of the na- tional labor code introduced by Labor Minister Allan Mac- Eachen lies not so much in the number of workers it will affect directly -- although that is gratifying -- but in the in- direct effect it could have on the whole labor force. It should serve as a sort of yeast to produce rising minimum work- ing conditions across the coun- try. The legislation will apply to approximately 556,000 workers in industries under 'federal jurisdiction, such as inter-pro- vincial transportation, communi- GALLUP POLL cations and banking. It will set a minimum wage of $1.25 an hour, a five-day, 40-hour week, two weeks' paid holidays a year and seven statutory paid holi- days. : It thus endeavors to put a floor under some of the lowest paid workers in the country, and sets an example which it is to be hoped the provinces, which legislate for many more workers, will follow. Until ac- ceptable minimum standards are established and enforced "for all workers, Canada" in honesty refer to herself as an affluent society Tight Race Indicated In British Election by THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION «(World Copyright Reserved). The latest survey figures from England by the British Institute of Public Opinion show the race to be virtually even today. From a substantial lead a at and a half ago, the Labor arty fortunes, with only slight interruptions, have declined steadily until today they hold only a 2% percentage point edge over the Conservatives -- not to assure sufficient seats to win Parliament. Unless the difference between the parties widens substantially in the remaining time before the October 15 election, the con- clusion which should be drawn - today is that it is a tight race, with events and campaign strat- egies of the final weeks likely to determine the outcome. . Although the 2-year record of the British Institute of Public Opinion shows a deviation fromm absolute accuracy of only one or two percentage points, the experience of election polling in many countries is that errorg of 4 or § points are not unusual. During the last three decades, the Gallup Poll and its affil- jates have had an opportunity to acquire experience in ail parts of the world. Election sur- veys, as well as other types of research, have been carried out- in countries as far flung as In- dia, Australia, the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Canada, France and Holland. There has been a decided change in the British public's anticipation of the October elec- tion result. At the beginning of August, a majoNty of 54 per cent were expecting a Labor victory, while only 27 per cent guessed that the Conservatives would win. Today the Conservatives have almost. as much public confi- dence that they will win as do the Laborites, with the latest available figures showing 38 per cent expecting a Conservative win as against 42 per cent who expect a Labor victory. Thus, in the cémpse of three weeks, about 12 per cent have changed their bets, but not their alleg- lance, BY-GONE DAYS -- 30 YEARS AGO Oct. 7, 1934 Centre Street United Church celebrated its 60th anniversary.

MAC'S MEDITATIONS U.K. Election Campaign Lacks Great Orators By M, McINTYRE HOOD Looking in on the British general election, as its pro- is reported in the press of ritain and Canada, one has a strong feeling that there is something missing in the ap- peals being made to the elector- ate. There seems to be a lack of fire, or urgency in the. pre- sentation of the platforms of the two major contesting Yl ties. The Liberal party not count for much. It has a definite nuisance value to the Labor and Conservative par- ties, depending on which of these two sides is more adverse- ly affected by votes polled for Liberals in three - cornered fights. But so far as Liberal hopes of winning seats are concerned, they are bound to be once again doomed to bitter disappointment. Judging from campaign re- ports, the election campaign geems to have entered on a stage of drabness and medio- crity, There seems to be no- boy on either side who ts ca- pable of supplying the "rouse- ments" necessary to stir the emotions of the electors. And it must be remembered that more votes can be won by emotion- alism than by reason. SUPPLIED "ROUSEMENTS" I can recall election cam- paigns in Oxford County, On- tario, back in the early 1920's, when one of the chief speakers at all Liberal gatherings was a former Baptist College principal mamed Archie MacNeill. He was e fervent orator. He could rouse the enthusiasm of audi- ences to fever pitch. And he al- ways insisted that at Liberal party meetings, he should be al- lowed to be the last. speaker to be heard. His favorite say- ing was "You other fellows can talk politics, but I will supply the rousements."' And he did just that, and sent this audi- ences home convinced of the merits of the cause he was es- pousing. So the thing that is lacking in this British general election is the kind of election orator who ¢an supply the "rousements" and send the party faithful away from the meetings in the right frame of mind to work hard for election victory. NO GREAT ORATORS In the present general elec- tion campaign, there is a dearth of great orators who can make stirring appeals to the emotions of the electors on a national basis. There is, no one cast in the mould of Sir Winston Churchill or the late Aneurin Bevan, who could stir audiences by the power of their words. Even Harold Macmillan and Hugh Gaitskell had greater tal- ents for arousing audiences than either of the present lead- ers of the two main political parties, MAC'S MUSINGS Since we returned from Living in Great Britain We have been surprised to Find so many Canadians Who believe that the cost Of living over there is Much less than in Canada, And that it is possible To have a good standard of Living with much less money. That is a fallacy which Is very soon found out By people who go on holiday Trips to Britain, and find That their money does not Go nearly as.far over there As they had Ne While tourists to 'the U.K. Usually comment on this They are not as badly off As people who have to Live there permanently And make ends meet on ' Wages and salaries well Below Canadian standards, Except for the Fyre | Largely provided by the Municipal councils, one things Prime Minister is by His high-pitched voice does lend itself to well - pad phrases which penetrate through the ear to the brain of the listener. He is cool logical -- just lik there is no tionalism in voters. Harold Wilson, the Labor leader, is of a rather different type, but he, too, lacks any great emotional appeal. He does not provide much in the way of rousements. Quictly- spoken, he is the aca- demic Socialist and the trained economist, He marshals his facts in orderly array, but seems to lack the ability to wind up with a fiery or elo- quent peroration likely to set the audience afire with enthusiasm. So neither of the two leaders can be placed in the same class as some of the great political orators and spell-binders of the past, THE SECOND STRING Behind the two leaders there is a scarcity of orators capable of putting realy enthusiasm into an election campaign audience. The most forthright and eloquent speaker on either side is 'George Brown, deputy leader of the Labor party. He has a great command of invective and of telling phrases to crush the leaders of the other side, but he is often 'unfortunate in his choice of both material and words, and often offends more people than he satisfied. On the government side, the most effective speaker, from an oratorical standpoint, is Quin- ton Hogg, the former Lord Hail- sham, who relinquished his peerage in order to become candidate for the Marylebone seat in London. Quinton Hogg has great oratorical gifts, an PARAGRAPHICAL WISDOM A candidate for office needs five hats: One to wear, one to throw in the ring, one to pass around for donations, one to talk through, and one to pull rabbits out of.
