| She Oshawa Crnes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1964 -- PAGE 6 New Labor Government Is Tough With Wildcats -- The fact that the advent of the Labor government in Britain was greeted by a dock strike which, if not halted, could cripple the nation's ports and wreak havoc with its. ex- port trade is more than passing interest. This strike marked the first challenge to the Labor govern- ment to deal with an unofficial stop- page of work by a wildcat strike, and all eyes were at once turned on the new minister of labor, Ray Gunter, renowned for his toughness. How would he, a former militant Labor union leader, react to this challenge to the country's stability by an unofficial group of strikers? He has, however, carried his toughness as a Labor leader into his new task as Labor minister. In less than an hour after the negotiations which lead to the strike broke down, he announced that he would inter- vene to bring about a settlement. He did not wait, as past Labor minis- ters have done, for one of the two sides asked him*to intervene. He jumped in with both feet to out an end to the nonsense of the unofficial strikers. : It is' quite logical to suppose that the strikers felt that, with a Labor government in power, they. would have greater leeway to press their claims, and would have sympathetic support from the government, Perhaps other labor leaders in the unions have had the same kind of ideas. Their minds have. been dis- abused of this idea by the prompt action of the new Labor minitser in denouncing the strike. As is natural, this early challenge raised the question of the new gov- ernment's relations with the na- tion's diverse and. often unpredic- table. unions. Mr. Gunter has re- moved all doubt on the question. It looks as if the new Labor govern- ment is going to deal much more firmly with Labor disputes which hurt the country's economy than did its predecessor in office, Red China And The U.N. The fact that China has exploded its atomic bomb and is on the way to becoming an atomic power has increased the emphasis which has been placed on the question of whether Communist China should be admitted into the United Nations Organization. From one source, the suggestion has come that Red China is literally trying to blast her way into her rightful place in the UNO. Be that as its may, Communist China's position as a new nuclear power raises the need for some new thinking on its right to be recogniz- ed and admitted into the council of nations: as represented by the United Nations Organization. It is time that the farce of re- cognizing the Nationalist Chinese group based on the island of For- mosa as the official representative of China in the United Nations and _ the Security Council was discarded. Whether the western nations, parti- Puts Record Quebec Revenue Minister Eric Kierans, speaking in London, Eng- land, did Canada a great service by setting the record straight regard- ing the true position of his province regarding separatism, and showing up the extreme separatists in their true light. That was very much needed, because the British public had come to regard the Quebec separatisst movement as somethng serious and likely to disrupt the conference of Canada. This has been the natural result of separatists' terrorism in Quebec being magnified far beyond its true importance in many press reports. In his London speech, Mr. Kierans not only criticized the separatists, but said that the idea of a separated Quebec is impractical and is in- capable of being realized or imple- mented. He assured his British au- dience that the Quebec government is not a separatist government, and that the leap from the legitimate criticism of certain English-Cana- She Oshawa Fimes T. L.

The- time for keeping Red China out and keeping Chiang - Kai - Shek's little colony on Formosa in has long since passed. This has become all the more urgent since China exploded its first nuclear bomb. This means that no nuclear disarmament negotiations can be successful unless Red China is given official recognition in the family of nations. No agreements can be reached with China being in- cluded, The great stumbling block in the past has been the opposition of the United States. But the poli- tical leaders there may now see the light, and abandon their long fight to keep Communist China out of the UNO. Straight dian and federal attitudes to the call for destruction of Confederation cannot be justified. These were things that needed to be said, over in Britain. They need to be said and emphasized as much in Canada. And there is much merit in Mr. Kieran's demand that the separatists get into professional politics and test their ideas by seek- ing office. We agree with him that this would quickly show that the vast majority of the Quebec people have no sympathy with the small and irresponsible separatist group. Other Editors' Views SCOTS EQUALITY (Regina Leader-Post) In this land. of cold or hot sun- shine, depending on the time of year, it is difficult to appreciate the average Britisher's preoccupa- tion with the sun. Such interest is more easily understood when it is realized that the ratio of hours of sunshine and rain in the daytime is eight to one on the south coast, six to one in London and five to one in northern England and south Scotland. In the western Highlands rainy hours equal those of sun- shine. : Bible Thought "Pyft God commendeth His: love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8. { It is not until we see'ourselves as sinners that we can get a glimpse of the love of God who sent Christ to die for the best and the worst of us.

It has been apparent it would come.-The-only- question has been the one of time. It finally did arrive when word got out that the govern- ment was planning on sending out a weekly radio tape and television film on its activities to radio and television stations throughout the province. The uproar was immediate. Some of us here have been waiting for this uproar, wonder- ing just when it would come. We felt sure it would come because this is a very publicity- minded government, and slowly ; its publicity apparatus has been building up and going further and further towards that fine (and undrawn) line which dis- tinguishes the reasonable from the abusive in government dis- semination of news. : Some time ago the govern- ment started sending out free radio tapes and television films of various announcements, SOME QUESTIONABLE Press releases have been coming in greater quantities, and some of them quite ques- tionable: For instance there was a recent one from Lands and Forests Minister Kelso Ro- berts giving four pages of his opinion on international affairs based on a trip around the world. The hunger for news space has been there. If our system operated per- fectly there probably would be no such thing as a government handout of news. Nothing has been as zealously guarded in this system a' the freedom and independence of the press. There is good reason for this. The soul and the strength of our system: is the freedom of READERS' VIEWS choice. The system its charac- ter from the fact that there is always an alternative to the government in power, and that the electorate can freely choose that_alternative. And the absolute core of this system--and the health of its operation--rests with the press. For if there is to be a real choice, there must be some- things to choose between. THE ONLY LINK And these things must be provided by the press. The only effective link between the peo- ple and its parliaments, politi- cians and governments is the press. It provides the media of mass communication, the only media, through which the elector can keep informed of public affairs and the people in it. The press has a tremendous responsibility here. It must see that the news gets to the peo- ple. And it also must see that the people get balanced news. That it knows as much about the weaknesses of a parliamen- tor government as its strengths, If it neglects either it is let- ting down on its responsibility. In a pure sense government also is letting down on its final responsibility if it takes advan- tage of its position of power. From the start it has a really awesome advantage over op- position parties. ' GALLON-A-DAY HALIFAX (CP) -- Two men' here have constructed their own snowmobile which they say can travel from 15. to 18 miles an hour over snow or rough ter- rain, costs less than $150 and can work all day on a gallon of gas. The vehicle was con- structed from 450 pounds of scrap pipe, angle iron, car and motorcycle parts and two wheelbarrow wheels. Centennial Projects Again Discussed -- The Editor, The Oshawa Times. Sir, I am writing you with regard to an article in your paper credited to Mr, Wallace Young. T do not belong to or have any interest in any groups which put forward their projects for the Centennial Committee's approv- al. Being a citizen of Oshawa, my only interest is in seeing that the money allotted to Osh- awa is spent for the benefit of most of our population. I resent Mr. Young's com- ment that the only people ap- proached and. questioned about the decision of the committee by your reporter were of the 'laboring type', and that the business men, who really want- ed the Arts Theatre, were not asked. There are many groups and clubs in Oshawa which do not ask for or receive subsidies from any-source other than sell- ing tickets or putting on_dis- plays of their crafts, such as was shown by a local car club recently. If these people, who are so interested in the theatre or other forms of culture, would work at it as do some of fhe less "fortunate" people who are not interested in the arts, they could perhaps convince the pub- lic that their cause is a' worthy one. I agree that pressure was put 1 ™ , on the committee, including the Arts Council. We are at pres- ent building an auditorium which at the time of the cam- paign was publicized as a com- bination building that would serve as a theatre, ice rink and auditorium, a building sorely needed in this "have-nothing"' city. I do not agree with the com- mittee's selection of a. grand- stand which would be the big- gest white elephant the commit- tee could propose, as it would be .completely useless for six months .of the year, and used very sparingly the rest of the year. By the amount of use to which the swimming pool at the Boys' Club is put by people in all walks of life, I would think that another indoor pool would be a far more worthwhile project. This could be built-in Alexandra Park or some other convenient location. In closing, I would like to re- mind Mr. Young that Labor has played as important, if not-a more important part in the achievements of this city than the business men who have prof. ited mightily from Labor's gains in the past years, and will, I venture, continue to profit in future. Thank you, Mr. Editor, for your space GEORGE EDMONDSON 595 Gibbons street, Oshawa. BY-GONE DAYS 40 YEARS AGO Oct. 24, 1924 The Oshawa Water Filtration Plant was installed in 1904, Ac- cording to officials, the system was sufficient to supply the needs of the city for many years, An Employed Boys' Brother- hood was organized in Oshawa with G. Creamer as president, and_..J...Lewington, secretary. Local bakers . increased the price of bread, one cent a loaf, to sell at 11 cents, while the smaller. loaf brought eight cents, E. L. Petley was elected president of the City Bowling League, and Miss Edith Truax was president of the Ladies' Bowling League. In view of other civic depart- ments' who were arranging work for the unemployed, the Water Commission approved work costing $11,000 in the south end of the city. The old Oshawa Curling Rink was purchased by R. M. Dever- ell, of Whitby, to be used as a hockey and skating rink. Oshawa Golf Club held their closing ceremonies for the sea- son, Robert Henderson, | club champion, won the McLaughlin trophy, while President R. Mof- fatt's trophy was captured by W. P. Knight. A ladies' basketball league was organized in the city with Miss Helen Ford elected as chairman of the committee. Members of the Oshawa Hunt Club who left for the north on a deer hunting expedition were George Miller, John Stacey, Sam Trick, Tom Gale, Fred Bailes, Fred Garrard, George Armstrong, C. M. Mundy, Art Germond and Walter Stacey. Announcement was made that the firm of Ward and Dewland had dissolved partnership. The Oshawa store, operated by J. C. Ward, was to be known as Ward's. W* A. Dewland oper- ated the firm's business in Whitby. OTTAWA REPORT Budget Deficit Below Estimate By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"Positive and ex- pansionary policies will be called for in the next few years," says Finance Minister Walter Gordon. "With this approach, and pro- viding we manage our affairs with skill and boldness, there is a tremendous future ahead of us 'in which all Canadians, of all national backgrounds, will have a chance to share." Mr, Gordon was speaking to the 12th annual forum of the Marketing Association of Can- ada; his subject was The Econ- omy--what has gone right? Describing the present out- stretched boom, he. said that the gross national . product in- creased by 6.6 per cent in 1963 over the previous year, and he forecast that in 1964 we will re- cord an even larger increase of eight per cent over last year. "This means," he said, "that the deficit of the federal gov- ernment should be appreciably less than the amount forecast in my budget speech last March." MANY DEFICITS The federal government has been operating in the red since the fiscal year ended March 31, 1957. In five of the six Diefen- } 4 MAC'S MEDITATIONS Scotland's Problem By M. McINTYRE HOOD Just like Canada, the United Kingdom has a_ bilingualism problem, although it has to be admitted that it is not of as deep-rooted and violent a nature as the problem of bilingualism as it is seen in this country. Britain's problem of bilingual- ism has been brought into the mews by a demand from the crofters who live in the Western Isles off the coast of Scotland, and who have formed their own- association to protect and press forward the interests of those who live in the lonely Hebrides. Britain's bilingualism has been brought into the news by the demands of this Western Isles Crofters Union for a great- er allotment of time for Gaelic language programs on British Broadcasting Corporation radio and television. The letter sent by the union to the BBC criti- cizes very strongly what it terms the meagre allocation of time given to Scottish Gaelic broadcasts. It claims: that since only one and a half hours of broadcasting time a week is de- voted to Scottish Gaelic pro- grams, this is the neglected cin- derella of all living languages in civilized countries. POOR RELATION Gaelic, says the letter, is the poor relation of the Celtic fam- ily. There are seven or eight hours a week of broadcasting in MAC'S MUSINGS Communities are divided Into two kinds of people; Those who give and those Who only take everything They can out of it. The folks who take are those Who sit at home when they Are called to vote at The timé of elections, but Who are always ready to Criticize those willing to Serve in public office." The folks who take are those Who never take any part in Community affairs, who never Stand for public office, Who demand all the rights And privileges of citizenship But refuse to accept its Duties and responsibilities. The folks who give are those Who feel the call of public Service and give their time Their energy and ability Freely to serve their Fellows, Who think more of their Duties and responsibilities Than of rights and privileges. These are the folks who are Criticized by those who take, But who rise above criticism And continue to serve their Community in public office, There is a challenge to Every citizen in these Days when municipal Elections are near to decide Whether to be those who Give or those who take. POINTED PARAGRAPHS I think the present racial poli- cies of the South African gov- ernment stink -- Sir John Maud, former British ambassador to South Africa. A commentator says that poli- tics is a game with no very clearly-defined rules. People over 60 are advised not to get into a discussion about today's younger genera- tion, The danger of acquiring high blood pressure is too great. The science theory of 60 years ago, that travelling at 60 miles an hour or more would kill peo- ple, is still valid today, although in a different sense. Of Bilingualism the Welsh Celtic tongue. And al- most as much time is devoted to regional broadcasting in Irish Celtic, or Erse. In comparison, the time alloted to Scoftish Gaelic is infinitesimal. The use of Gaelic as a natural language is confined almost en- tirely to the highland areas in the north of Scotland. It does penetrate down into Argyllshire, but its natural habitant seems to be in the counties of Inver- ness, Ross and Comarty and Sutherland shire, including, of course, the outer isles or Hebrides. BILINGUAL SCHOOLS Scottish Gaelic has, in fairly recent years been given status as an official language of these areas of Scotland by the Scot- tish department of education. In the counties I have mentioned, bilingual schools have been es- tablished, and the children there are taught both languages. They are taught English so that they can go out into the world on an even basis with children of the other parts of Britain. They are also taught Gaelic so that they can converse freely with their parents with facility: in their mother tongue. But there has never been any demand that bi- lingual Gaelic and. English schools be established anywhere else in Scotland. The language, however, is not dying. There are many Gaelic Societies in Scottish towns and cities and even in London and other large centres in England, where those who have left the highlands to seek fame and for- tune can meet and converse in GALLUP POLL the language of their fathers, and in which the n can be kept true to old \ I found it interesting when I at- tended the annual Gaelic Mod in London who speak En) with a. decided Cockney ai also capable of singing Gaelic songs and reciting Gaelic poems lives nthe Scottish, highlands ves ie ttish and islands. These societies, with their Gaelic Mods and Cei- lidhs, are striving to keep alive the language' of their fore- fathers, and their struggle is a far more difficult one than the efforts of the French-Canadians to expand the use of French as Canada's second language. MANY DIALECTS Apart from this distinct bi- lingualism, or trilingualism if the Welsh Celtic language is taken into consideration, how- ever, the United Kingdom is a land of many Cialects which in many cases sound like foreign languages to the unitiated. The Yorkshireman speaks a different brand of English from the Cor- nishman. The Cockney has his own idioms, which are entirely diffrent from the men of Som- erset or Lancashire. They all speak a,form of English of course, but the differences in dialects and even in the words used are so marked as to make Britain a multi-lingual country to Canadian visitors who are accustomed to find the same kind of English spoken from Halifax to Victoria, with no dis- tinctive dialects, although there may be slight variations in ac- cents and intonations. Pearson's Leadership Gains In Approval By CANADIAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) Nearly five-in-ten Canadians believe Prime Minister L. B. Pearson is proving to be a good leader of the Liberal Govern- ment in Ottawa. Just less than three-in-ten say he is not a good leader. Mr. Pearson's highest rating as a leader comes from Que- bec -- 51 per cent -- while only 44 per cent acclaim his leadership in the western prov- inces. As a leader of the Opposition, Mr. Pearson was not so highly regarded. Just prior to last year's election, a Gallup Poll survey showed that less than three-in-ten approved of him in the Opposition; about four-in-ten disapproved; and the rest had not made up their minds. "Do you think Mr. Lester B. Pearson is, or is not proving a good leader of the Liberal Par- ty in Ottawa?"

Comm., CA George Easeup has made in- quiries regarding shares of Gen- eral Motors Corporation which would constitute an asset of his estate in the event of his death. He has been advised that these shares would be subject to estate tax in United States as well as Canada. United States would levy a tax since the shares represent ownership in a corporation with its head office located in that country; Canada would levy a tax since George has his permanent home and residence in Canada, Previously, George made sim- ilar inquiries about a winter home he owns in Florida. When he hears the manner in which these shares would be taxed, George concludes, "my shares in General Motors Cor- poration are taxed in exactly the same way as my property in Florida'. He adds, "both Can- ; ada and United States tax my i estate on the same property; 4 eredits } double taxation". however, Canada grants certain in order to alleviate George is almost correct. It is true that both Canada i and United States would tax his baker years, the deficit ex- ceeded that in any previous year of peace, hitting a peak of $791,021,950 in the year. 1961-62, For the year 1963-64, Mr Gor- don reported a deficit of "abeut $685,000,000" when he intro- duced his budget on March 16 last. And he estimated that for the current year the deficit would be $455,000,000, That estimate was based on a predicted growth of 5% per cent in our gross national pro- duct. But, in fact, it is running above that prediction. This col- umn some time ago suggested that our booming economy is yielding an increased tax rev- enue, so that when the final fig- ures are toted up, Mr, Gordon may be found to have been on the pessimistic side by some $250,000,000. This still looks like a reasonable estimate.. The most immediate effect of this year's increased growth rate is of course the reduction in unemployment. Some 218,000 Canadians were out of work last month; this was 32,000 lower than at the same time last year, and represented 3.1 per cent of the labor force, the lowest rate for September in any year since 1956. estate on the assets situated in United States; the difference in the method of taxation of these two assets, however, lies in the fact that Ontario would not tax his property in Florida. Ontario imposes a tax only under circumstances where it is constitutionally able to do so, i.e. a direct tax. Its tax-collect- ing activities are confined to situations where it is practicable to collect tax; namely where its laws can be effectively en- forced. This means that either the property must be in Ontario where the province can get its hands on it or the recipient of the bounty of the deceased must be here so that he can be grab- bed and have the tax shaken out of him, if necessary. One might ask "'why doesn't the same rule apply to the shares of General Motors Cor- oration -- what difference does it make whether it is property in Florida or shares of a Cor- poration centrally - located in New York?" The point is good. The difference lies in the fact that the shares of General Motors Corporation can be ef- fectively transferred in Toronto -- this gives the asset a situs or location in Ontario, hence makes these shares taxable in Ontario. In effect, no particularly sig- nificant difference results, at least insofar as a Canadian-, domiciled estate is concerned. This is so in view of the fact that although foreign realty is not dutiable, it is included in the determination of the aggregate value of the estate; hence is an important factor in fixing the rate of duty. Secondly, the federal govern- ment which taxes both types of assets (since George was domi- ciled in Canada) grants a 50 per cent estate tax credit. This is based on the amount of federal estate tax payable, not on tax- able property within the prov- ince. Thirdly, a federal tax credit is available for estate taxes paid to the United States.
