ee AAC I ST She Osharow gimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1964 -- PAGE 6 Quebec's Voice Needs To Be Plainly Heard -- > The cause of unity in Canada is » being bedevilled by a profileration - of voices emanating from the pro- ' vince of Quebec. The voices of the ' extremists and dedicated separatists * are loud and raucous. And like the » squeaky wheel which gets the most + grease, by their very noise they are ' attracting more attention and pub- ' licity than their numbers and im- ' portance merit. . Coupled with the minority of ex- tremists are the still fewer terror- ists, who seek by acts of t) ' to cow the rest of conformity with their preposterous demands. But because of the nature -of their actions, they also attact a wide measure of publicity, which is exactly what they want. _It is time that the majority view in Quebec, and that majerity wishes no interference with the ties which link Quebec with the )other pro- vinces in a workable and successful confederation, were heard with equal force to those of the other side, nada into : 'The government of Quebec, under - Prime Minister Jean Lésage, knows only too well that the future wel- fare of Quebec rests in strength- ening the bonds of confederation, 'pather than in their destruction. The fact that the Quebec govern- ment has agreed to the formula adopted for the repatriation and amendment of the Canadian consti+ tution is an indication of the think- ing within government circles. But that in itself is not. enough. It is time that the people of the rest of Canada heard some author- itative voice setting forth explicitly and clearly the official view of that province, They should be told, with- out equivocation, who. speaks for Quebec, and who expresses the true aspirations of the French-Canadian province. And coupled with that there should come, from official sources, a condemnation of - the tactics and views of those who would wreck Confederation. Lord Devlin's Bold Idea Lord Devlin, a noted British jurist, and chairman of the Press Council of Britain, preached a dangerous doctrine in a lecture he gave in Winnipeg at the celebration - of the 50th anniversary of the Win- nipeg Law School. He asserted, and ' expanded on his theme, that bi- _gamy should be abolished as & crite. Coming from a man of his | gtatiire in the British legal profes- sion, his words are little short of startling. He said: "Bigamy violates neither good manners or decency. When it is committed without deception, it harms no one. Yet, in these days of easy divorce, bigamists do not afouse sympathy, and no one is enthusiastic about altering the law 'in their favor." Lord Devlin is right in at least +. one part of the remarks we have quoted. Bigamists certainly do not arouse sympathy and no one is enthusiastic about altering the law in their favor. In spite of its source, this state- ment does 'not find an echo in the kinds of right-thinking people. - Bigamy is a crime because it does violate both good manners and de- cency, and because the fact that: it is a crime helps to save many in- nocent women from being victim- ized* by men who have no respect . either for marriage vows nor for the good name and character of those on whom they fasten their clutches. To legalize bigamy would be much more of a crime than it is to make it a criminal offence. To make it legal for men -- or women -- to involve other people in bigamous marriages would be tantamount to "peducing the human race to the level of the animals. Whatever may be the state of public opinion in the country from which Lord Devlin comes, his remarks will be univer- sally condemned by Canadian public opinion. Johnson Likely Winner The U.S. election. campaign is entering its last few days, and on Tuesday next, the: people of the United States will have the respon- sibility of deciding who is to be their president for the next four years. The campaign has been a bitter one, with no punches pulled by the contesting Democratic and Republican leaders. In some respects, as. our Washington correspondent, Gordon Donoldson, pointed out, it * has been a dirty campaign, abound- ing with personalities which do nothing to elevate the level of politics and do not constitute valid political arguments. In-spite of the vigor with which the campaign has been conducted by both sides, there seems to be little doubt of what the result will be. President Johnson entered the campaign with an edge over Senator Barry Goldwater. That 'was the natural and logical outcome of the , tragic circumstances under which The Osharon Sines T. L.

But apart from that, he seems to have retained the sup- port of the people which has been apparent ever since he was formally nominated as the Democratic can- didate. : Public opinion polls are not always reliable. One can. recall what hap- pened in 1948, when, contrary to all the forecasts, President Truman defeated Governor Dewey of New York. But in.the polls which have from time to time indicated the position of the candidates in the present race, President Johnson has been so far ahead that the result seems almost a foregone conclusion. Wrong as they sometimes are, it would be most unlikely that the public opinion polls could be far enough away from an accurate assessment of public opinion.as. to give Senator Goldwater much chance of taking the presidency away from its present incumbent. Other Editors' Views THE-KNOCKERS (St. Marys Journal-Argus) It takes more than one or two citizens to make a town successful in attracting new industries and to encourage the growth of existing plants ... it is up to the whgle body of citizens. One knocker can undo the work of many boosters. If you have been critical of those few who have been trying to improve the local industrial situation, it is time you stopped being a knocker and turned your. beefing into positive action to see what can be in meeting the situation. aud NOT LIKELY TO WIN 5 OTTAWA REPORT Pearson Program For National Unity By PATRICK NICHOLSON We have had a "roads to re- sources" program and other federal - provincial road pro- grams, such as the Trans-Can- ada Highway. We now have a "road to national unity' pro- gram called "co-operative fed- eralism", and Prime Minister Pearson chose the Canadian Good Roads Association 50th anniversary meeting as an .apt platform from which to explain this. "Co-operative federalism," he said, "means the federal and rovincial governments work- ng togetherr for the good of Canada, each respecting the other's rights, and the weaker assisting the stronger. It means that the federal government should not enter provincial fields without the willing con- sent of the provinces; and that in all matters over which jur- isdiction is shared in- the con- stitution, the federal govern- ment>should co-operate closely witfi the provinces." The prime minister pointed out that such division of author- . ity involves compromises, and these are easy targets for cri- ticism. We must take great care that a general agreement through compromise is not mis- represented to be individual surrender, else reasonable and fair compromise could be con- fused with capitulation, and this kind of confusion could be the operative arrangements poss- ible with the provinces to the general, the national, advan- tage." For this objective, he added, the federal government must have both the resources and the strength to discharge its con- stitutional responsibilities, with- out going beyond them. Frag- mentation and diversity must not be: joined in governmental policies if we are to progress, or even survive. "Diversity is the very essence of Canada's national structure but it need not, and must not, mean fragmentation. That would be fatal to unity and to Canada. Politically and econo- mically 'a balkanized Canada would be the end of our country and who would gain by that?" QUEBEC AND UNITY That remark was obviously addressed to those French-Ca- nadians in the province of Que- bec who talk of separatism. If Quebec were to break away and. form a separate Republic of Laurentia, what would hap- pen to the rest of Canada? The four maritime provinces would be cut off . physically} Canada would become a west- ern Pakistan, a divided nation without even a Polish corridor linking its two halves. Econo- mically, the rest of Canada could not survive: absorption into the U.S.A. would be in- evitable. How long then could an ind dent Laurentia, en- greatest threat to our Canadian way of government. "By co-operative federalism," Mr. Pearson continued, "I do not mean turning over to the provinces the sole responsibility for action, while the federal government merely takes on the responsibility for payment. Incurring only the unpopularity that goes with taxation and the frustration that goes with watching someone else spend the money and bask in the sun of popular approval that sur- rounds. the righteous benefac- tor; this also I do not mean. We in Ottawa intend to protect the federal interest in these matters. We also wish to de- velop the closest and most co: YOUR HEALTH tirely surrounded by the 54 states, survive? It would be only a matter of time before Laurentia too was absorbed as the 55th state, absorbed into the melting pot which has no of ficial second language, no Na- poleonic Code of civil laws. In its search for complete inde- pendence, Quebec would suffer complete standardization with the rest of North America. "There are strains between the English speaking and French - speaking elements in our nation," Mr. Pearson ad- mitted. "There are stresses in our Confederation. But we are facing them and we will domin- ate them." Sarcoidosis Needs Skill To Diagnose By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD. Dear .Dr. .Molner: What cases Boeck's sarcoidosis? I have it around the face and on arms and back--MRS. P.W. Other readers have asked ebout this disease, which re- uires considerable skill to ose. It is a nodular defect in the tissues -- and not necessarily where Mrs. P.W. has noticed the nodules. : Common symptoms are en- enlarged lymph nodes, skin no- dules, shortness of breath, fa- tigue, possibly cough and fever. The cause is not known. Once it was thought to be due to tuberculosis, but that has been disproved. (About four per cent of patients may have tuberculo- sis as a complication, how- ever.) In any event, symptoms for the most part resemble those . of tuberculosis. So chest X-rays may be taken and disclose no- dulations or "spots," or may show enlarged lymph nodes at the root of the lung. Then examination of tissue is necessary to exclude TB and prove that it is sarcoid instead. For some reason, Boeck's sarcoid is common in rural areas, and less frequently found in cities. (It:is not hereditary.) The ailment runs an erratic course that is difficult to pre- dict. However, study of a large mumber of cases shows that there is about a 70 per cent chance of the disorder disap- pearing in less than two years, with the chest returning com- pletely to normal. Use of the steroids (cortisone-type) drugs speeds improvement, But if the disease persists more than three years, scar tissue tends to develop in the lungs and the problem is pro- longed. These are approximate time limits based on observa- tion; the disease is erratic, thus making it difficult or im- possible to know what to expect in any given case. Dear Dr. Molner: In an ar- ticle'on emphysema you said that with proper care it can be helped. What do you mean? Can it be cured? I have bron- chitis, too. Is it true that em- physema indicates the lungs have lost their elasticity? -- MRS. L. M. When I said the condition can be helped, 1 meant just that. N "MAC'S MEDITATIONS Britain's Import Tax Will Not Hurt Canada Unduly | By M. McINTYRE HOOD Canada's prime minister and the jeader' of the opposition have endable pathy with the economic prob- ' jems which are facing the new MAC'S MUSINGS There is one characteristic Of living in Canada: which Provides a strong contrast To life in Britain, and we Are still not convinced That it is a good thing For the people of Canada. Everyone in Canada seems To be caught up in a Fast and hectic pace of Living, and always.in a Hurry to be going somewhere To be doing something, and They burn up a great deal Of nervous energy. just Because they feel that They have not the time For leisurely living.

Speaking in the Canadian House of Com- mons, both Mr. Pearson and Mr. Diefenbaker, while express- ing some concern on the effect of Britain's new 15 per cent tax on imports, did not stress that point, but rather went out. of their way to pledge the co-oper- ation of Canada in helping Brit- ain to work itself out of its serious balance of payments position. This is as it shou'd be. It will be recalled that in 1962 the Canadian government under Mr. Diefenbaker found itself in 'ex- actly the same position as the British government does today. And it took exactly the same steps as the British government has now taken, It imposed sur- charges on imports, and the ef- fect of these on Britain's ex- ports to Canada was much more severe than the new British im- Port tax will be on Canadian ex- ports to Britain.

The Canadian tax surcharge on imports im 1962 dealt a very severe blow to Britain's trade with Canada. This surchange af-| fected 75 per cent of Britain's exports to this countfy. Yet it was accepted in good faith, with no thought on the part of the British government of re- taliatory measures. Britain was anxious to help Canada out its economic difficulties, regard. less of the cost to itself. Brit- ain was anxious to help Canada -- out of its economic difficulties, regardfess of the cost to itself. It had complete faith that Can- ada would work its way out of its problems, and in due course that is what happened, so that this country was able to aban- don the import tax surcharges. Perhaps the most significant contribution made to the brief debate in the Canadian House of Commons was that made by Mr. Diefenbaker at the close of his statement. This is what he said in his conclusion: HOPE FOR IMPROVEMENT "I join with the prime minis- ter in the expression of the hope that the action taken by the gov- emment of the United Kingdom may be removed at the earliest possible date.

QUEEN'S PARK why professi 1 people join the NDP and gives them the !abel "academic socialists". If I am an "academic socialist' so be it. But may I say that the rea- son I and many of my profes- sional friends have become NDP'ers is because we believe that the Liberals and Conserva- tives have failed in a number of important areas ,one of the most obvious being job training and retraining. It is a fact that West Ger- many has 1,200 company-owned technical schools compared to Canada's 27. Canada is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of resources and it. should not be lagging behind in economic planning. But it takes an active co-operation be- tween government, industry and labor which in Canada has been almost non-existent and which the government has failed to foster.

Grass conscious are the poli- ticians here these days. You hear much about the "grass roots". Liberal leader Andrew Thompson is making cultiva- tion of the grass roots of the. party his first endeavor. He figures if he can get the grass growing he'll get some plums too. And so he's trying to get deep 'into the local organizations to apply a bit of fertilizer. The government is also in on the act. It held a special two-day cau- cus here a few days ago. And the point of the caucus was the grass roots, It was called so the private members could have a say-- could get their local problems, and other problems, off their chests. PAY PROBLEM And this they did--with, ap- parently, the question of their pay being their biggest prob- 'lem, local or otherwise. But the biggest grass roots venture is the cabinet trip into the north. The three-day visit to the Lakehead, Saulf St. Marie and Sudbury is a novel (and praise- worthy) adventure in cultiva- tion of grass. The main point of the trip ostensibly is to -hold cabinet meetings in the north. There will be such meetings. The members of the cabinet will get around a table behind closed doors in each centre. But this is only to add a bit of spice to the dressing. Cabinet meetings can be held much better in Toronto, And very, very rarely have three cabinet meetings ever been held in one week. The main, and practically only, point of the visit is to "show the flag'. In this case the flag being Premier Ro- barts, Kelso Roberts, Leslie Rowntree and the assorted other lawyers, car dealers and farmers who through the fates of politics now wear black hom- burgs and are provided with limousines as Her Majesty's neers of the crown in On- ario. . FEEL NEGLECTED It is a junket of love. To show the people of northern Ontario, who often feel neglec- ted, and often rightly so, that everybody. at Queen's Park loves them. You might say, if we can't give them anything at least we can give them a smile from Les Rowntree. -- : However we won't say this. Even if it-is an obvious poli- Ea plug these trips are a good lea, Even though their main in- terest may be in making votes, the men in the government will pick up some knowledge of local conditions while: they are doing it. It's to be hoped the' trip works out, and Mr. Robarts extends them to other areas as he has said he would. ' PAPER MISSED?

Food, basic raw ma- terials and tobacco are exempt thirds of Canada's exports to United Kingdom. They will be affected at al. The 15 per cent import tax on nfanufactured goods will quite possibly cut down the volume of such goods exported from this country to Britain. But since the tax applies to all countries, Can- ada will still be able to compete with other nations for its share of the British market for manu- factured products. The competi- tive position has not been aiter- ed so far as they are concerned, For instance, the largest single item to be effected is the export of newsprint. Last year Canada's exports of newsprint petitors with Canada for a share of the British newsprint market, This country's competitive posi- tion, therefore, will not be changed at all, and the news- print industry should not suffer unduly, since Britain's own pro- duction of newsprint amounts to very little. The same will prob- ably be true of other Canadian manufactured goods of a nature not produced to a large extent in Britain, since foreign coun- tries will be subject to exactly the same tax as Canada. The British government acted from sheer necessity, just as the Canadian governmént did in 1062, But it may well be that this action will strengthen trade bonds between Britain and the other Commonwealth countries, including Canada, if these coun- tries undertake whatever. steps may be necessary to meet for- eign competition in overcoming the extra tax. READERS' VIEWS Comments On Meditations The Editor, The Oshawa Times, Sir: : "A chiel's amang ye takin' notes, and faith he'll prent it." The above lines could well ap» ply to Mr. McIntyre Hood. We observe that this old antagonist is back amidst us" for better or worse. "The writer has been following his "mediations" and although I felt much of the con- tents were good, I was_ still aware that sooner or later he would be hit and hit hard for his literacy infusions. This was ample manifested by two letters which appeared in the Oshawa Times, October 23. "But Hoody, thou are no thy lane, interferring whiles if vain."". Once upon a time an- other mortal had the temerity to meddle with matters pertain- ing to the GM and UAW, Bilt"he admitted later, "perhaps he was more foolish than wise."" I would like to refer back te Mr. Hood's stint in London, England. I always thought he could have done much more for his native land by way of pen, but he failed miserably to: es- pouse the Scottish scene. In fact, he gave very little indica- tion that _he was concerned about the fate of the land of his birth. In other words, Mr. Hood would not venture to pen - this stuff: "At a meeting of 180 pro- vosts, town clerks and coun. cillors held in Bearsden on 1st August, Baillie Robert Mac- Leod, in attacking the move to take power away from small boroughs and out it in remote hands, said: 'I can see Scotland becoming a county of England ifthe trend is continued. It ig time they stopped taking us for nitwits, and it is time we start. ed fighting like we did over Beeching'."" Thanks JAMES MYLES Oshawa, Ontario.
