'She Oshawa Times Oe ee Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T.. L. Wilson, Publisher SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Decisiveness Essential Immediately In Ottawa + Canadian prime ministers have been a trouble-prone lot. Few, if any of them, have completed their terms of office without experienc- ing difficulties of national conse- quence. For Sir John A, Macdonald trou- ble stemmed from his indiscreet ac- ceptance of campaign funds from railroad contractors in disrepute. Laurier wrecked his career on the reciprocity agreement. A serious break with French Canada meant rough weather for Borden. Bennett grounded himself on his_ ill-con- ceived New Deal. For Mackenzie King, it was the Beauharnois scan- dal, The pipeline cheme spelled ruin for St, Laurent. A flap over feder- dal. The pipeline scheme spelled ruin can bent and internal party strife contributed to Diefenbaker's down- fall. The present prime minister is in distinguished company indeed as he attempts to cope with the most serious dilemma to arise since he was charged with the responsibility of leading the Canadian government. His predecessors were involved in serious situations, a'l of a different nature. None, of them, however carried more sinister implications than the problem confronting Mr. Pearson. The suggestion that crim- final influences could infiltrate high offices in his government is exceed- ingly grave. Mr. Pearson is a widely-respected statesman. His personal integrity, his sincerity and his devotion to public service are exemplary. Cana- dians, regardless of political alle- giance, will be saddened that a man who has brought such great pres- tige to their country is entangled in such a sordid state of affairs. Yet, while they may sympathize with Mr. Pearson as a person, they will in no way countenance conditions such as those described in the Dor- ion Report. Because Canadians have experi- enced scandals in previous adminis- trations does not mean they have developed a resistance to them, that they are likely to be taken for granted. Much to the contrary, they will expect swift and thorough steps by the Prime Minister in action to remedy the wrongs reported and to remove possibility of them recur- ring. Canadians expect him to handle it with decisiveness and dispatch. The onus is his alone. ... Politics No Picnic... The sands of compromise have run out for Mr. Pearson. If he is to retain the confidence of the coun- try, he must strike out definitely and vigorously -- even ruthlessly -- to demonstrate he's determined to put his house in order. Hns concern for his colleagues is commendable. He has loyally: cush- foned severe criticism of several of them in key posts on a number of occasions. However, in his position his responsibility to the country as She Oshawa Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R. C. ROOKE, General Manager C. 3.

Gerrenrerrerrpr nner: CANADIAN arr NNEUHNC SEES GREAT A ue a whole must be a prior considera- tion. The time has passed where it is a case of a Favreau or a. Gordon being in an embarrassing position. National affairs have reached the crucial stage where Mr. Pearson himself is now on the spot. Politics can never be a picnic, Some of those Mr. Pearson. praises for their public service are in the regrettable position of best contrib- uting by leaving the government. In respect to the Dorion Report specifically, Mr. Pearson has an- nounced it is but the start of the first scene of the first act in his ef- fort to restore good government. The mere mention that criminal cartels could have even the slightest possible influence in any section of any of the federal departments is etnough to stir extreme urgency. Parliament has adjourned for several months, Mr. Pearson will be able to set out on his task without being incessantly dogged by opposi- tion opportunism seeking to make the most of his dilemma, He has a big job to do, probably the biggest he ever tackled for Canada. ncuron " New Image Heralded For Britain By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer A few years ago Dean Ache- son, one-time U.S.' state secre- tary, needled and angered many Britons by his rather harsh sug: gestion that Britain was wand- ering in the wilderness; that it had lot an empire and was still searching for a role in world politics. That was before Labor party leader Harold Wilson came to power. Now Prime Minister Wil- son's ministers are hailing his direction of the Commonwealth prime minister's conference as a master stroke, giving Britain a new image and a new role as international mediator through chairmanship in the four-coun- try peace mission on Viet Nam, Roy Mason, a minister in Wil- son's board of trade, has con- jured before British audiences that he describes as "an excit- ing prospect" of Wilson har- nessing the old dominions and the new multi-racial groups in the Commonwealth into what could be '"'the forerunner of a permament peace - proposing force." This tendency by the Labor regime to build up the peace mission, before it has achieved any concrete results, runs the danger that the mission may be turned into a domestic political football rather than an authen- tic instrument for peace. TORY CRITICISM For no sooner had Mason ut- tered his eloquent forecast when Conservative MP Humphrey Berkeley of Lancaster' coun- tered that Wilson's "elaborate effort at creating a Common- wealth peace mission now is clearly revealed as a_ cynical exercise in self-promofing ex- hibitionism." Wilson himself has made much of the peace mission. He has suggested that even though the Communist doors (may be barred against the mission's entry, they will have to be opened 'in a few weeks' time" because both sides know they cannot settle the Viet Nam war on the battlefield. This remark, made on a na- tional television program; would suggest Wilson had mainly a domestic audience in mind rather than the world. political front. For the war in Viet Nam has been going on for some 20 years, gradually spreading from the jungles and the rice paddies to the gateways of the cities. Rather than yield or negoti- ate, both sides are digging in for a more intensified chal- lenge. The Communists are re- ported convinced they are. at the threshold of victory, | CHINA HAS BIG STAKE Now China, hungering for world recognition as the, real crusader against the "'imperi- alists,"" has lost prestige in the collapse of plans for the jAfro- Asian summit conference ft Al- giers. In spite of the confinuing Algerian unrest, China ifsisted the conference be held. 'Many of China's friends resisted that advice, To retrieve her position, China may seek bolder action on other fronts, A great Communist vic- tory in South Viet Nam could bring glory to Peking. Therefore Wilson's peace mission may have to jred a long and humble path before it finds the welcome Wilson so eagerly anticipates, POINTED PARAGRAPHS Maybe an old dog can't: learn new tricks, but the average old oa learns new ways to cut the ool. } Widespread hate, strife and suspicion the world over seems to indicate that people have a tather low opinion of pvople. T HAVE SOME LiITTLZ SHADOWS "THAT GO IN AND OUT WITH ME AND WHAT CAN BE 'THE USE OF THEM 1S MORE 'THAN T CAN SES ME AND MY SHADOWS Land Grab Bid Indicates Need For Law Revision By GWYN KINSEY Special to The Times (First of Two Articles) TORONTO -- The overtones of the University of Toronto's attempted land grab in Peel county's Toronto township may conceal the fundamental fact that Ontario's expropriation law badly needs revision. The overtones are the involve- ment of an E. P. Taylor sub- sidiary in the acquisition of land for the U. of T.'s satellite Erindale College; and the shrill public insistence of university officials, led by Varsity's Pres- ident Claude Bissell, on univer- sity autonomy. The U. of T. has vehemently denied any impropriety (as.sug- gested by a New Democrat in the Legislature) in the acquisi- tion of additional land for its Erindale College. But it has not adequately explained why it hired Don Mills Development Corporation, an E, P. Taylor subsidiary, to advise on the land acquisition, when it has a number of prominent planners on its own staff; or why it did not investigate an alternative to the expropriation of 31 ex- pensive residential properties, when just a short distance away lie some 4,500 acres of land be- ing held for development by (surprise, surprise!) another E. P. Taylor subsidiary. IN THE MIDDLE Premier John Robarts was disturbed enough by the curi- ous sequence of events to call for all the facts, although he pointed out that' the university was '"'an autonomous body." The politician in the middle, however, is Education Minister William Davis, who is also min- ister of university affairs and the MPP for Peel -- the elected representative of the aggrieved home owners. The extremely capable and energetic Mr. Davis is the cabinet minister who has given the myth of municipal autonomy its rough- est handling. It may be time for him to point out to the uni- SIMILARITY ... John Best, Canadian Press correspondent in Moscow, found many similarities be- tween Canada's North and northern Stheria during a two-week tour of Soviet Asia with Northern Affairs Min- ister Arthur Laing. He de- scribes some of them, along with Po. greg ---- tages Russia has, in this story By JOHN BEST - MOSCOW (CP)--A Canadian ean get quite homesick in north- ern Russia. Those who have been in Can- ada's North find endless points of similarity between the sub- Arctic and Arctic regions of the two countries. They range from topography to climate to native peoples. But nature -has smiled more benignly on the Soviet northland than on Canada's in two impor- tant respects. It has a system of great, northward-flowing riv- ers to help sustain the region and aid in its development. These include the Pechora, the Ob, the Lena, the Indigurka, the Kalima.and the mighty Yenisei By contrast, Canada as only one great one up north, the Mackenzie. And the tree-line is 500 miles farther north in Russia, mak- ing it possible te axow arans at HU ... SAME FORMIDABLE PROBLEMS - Nature Smiles Benignly On Soviet Northland higher latitudes. Largely be- cause of these factors the pop- ulation of Soviet Siberia north of the 60th parallel is 800,000 compared to 45,000 in Canada, Counting European Russia, the Soviet population north 'of the 60th parallel is 5,000,000 or more. . FACE SAME PROBLEMS _ But basically the two vast northern empires are similar and they face the same formid- able problems. 'We have the identical situation in Canada;" "We have the very same prob- lems." On countless occasions Northern Affairs Minister Laing made observations such as these during his recent two-week tour of Siberia. Hence the current Canadian effort to institute a program of collaboration between the two countries on northern develop- ment. The program would be built around an exchange of specialists in the field Canada is interested in study- ing Soviet techniques in mineral exploitation, construction, treat- ment of native peoples and com- munications. Tn turn, it feels it has some- thing to show the Russians in civic development -- principally the $30,000,090 "model town" of Inuvikmand building expe- rience More and more minerals are being (ound in Canada's north- land but, with rare exceptions, they are not being extracted be- cause of perpetual, rock - like frost which in some areas goes down to a depth of 2,300 feet. ERMAFROST NO BARRIER Siberian Russia has numerous mines in the permafrost zone, including an anthracite coal mine 250 miles east of Yakutsk at which Laing's party obtained a@ peek. In one city alone--Norilsk, in- side the Arictic Circle -- there are 15 operating mines. Canadian authorities would like to learn more about the blasting and recovery' tech- niques used in such operations, Building in the permafrost zone poses this problem: Heat given off by a building tends to melt the upper layers of frost, making for instability in what should be an ideal foundation. Both countries have hit upon similar methods to cope with this, They use concrete pillars sunk into the permafrost and bearing the full weight of the building. Sometimes forced-air ventilation is added to keep the permafrost surface at a con- stant temperature. / In Russia's northland, five- storey buildings set on such con- crete stilts are not uncommon, Soviet authorities are confident they can put up seven- and even nine-storey buildings. In Canada, whara population pressure is smajl in the north, the highest building on perma- frost is two storeys. SOME BUILDINGS SHODDY The northern affairs depart- ment would like to study Soviet high-rise methods against the day when they might be needed in Northern Canada. On the other hand Canada has--a---few--thingsto_show--the Russians on the finer points of construction. Structures in the Soviet north, though well con- ceived architecturally, are often thrown together with shoddy workmanship, In their treatment of north- ern peoples, Canada and the Soviet Union appear to be mov- ing along parallel lines. While providing educational opportun- ities 'and health and welfare services, they aiso try to pre- serve native language and cul- ture. A member of the Laing dele- gation, Graham Rowley, tickled the fancy of his Russian hosts on a couple of occasions by sing- ing Eskimo songs at dinner gatherings. That was in Yakus. tia, a vast region in northern Si- beria largely peopled by Yakuts, most numerous of all minority groups -in the Soviet north. Communication in the Soviet north, as in Canada, is largely by airplane.

But universities -- and the U. of T.'in particular -- have be- come big business, deeply in- volved in a complex society. They have responsibilities as well as rights. The responsibilities include judicious handling of such mat- ter as expropriation. ARBITRARY ACT As the conservation authori- ties have demonstrated, it is all too easy to act in an arbitrary manner when the power to do so is supplied by as arbitrary a, piece of legisla- tion as Ontario's Expropriation Procedures Act. This measure was put to- gether in 1962-63, following the report of a select committee of the legislature which had been given fhe job in 1960 of investi- gating) the whole question of land expropriation in the prov- ince, The committee recommended that "a uniform statute be en- acted consolidating all expropri- ation and compensation proce- dures under provincial jurisdic- tion... and that in so doing recognition be given to the specific problems of the differ- ent types of authorities by es- tablishing separate parts of the statute which would. contain those provisions to each author- ity and necessary for its pur- poses," TROUBLE FORESEEN The 'uniform statute' turned out to be the Expropriation Pro- cedures Act. But the govern- meht failed to adopt one of the committee's other recommenda- tions which would have avoid: ed much of the trouble which later developed. The committee proposed that a "special tribunal be appoint- ed .... which would be solely responsible for the assessment of compensation arising from expropriation and associated powers'; that 'every expro- priating authority should be re- quired to register a plan of the lands expropriated in addition to any other procedure which it might be required to follow be- fore its act was final." The government did, however, adopt the recommendation that | YEARS AGO 25 YEARS AGO July 3, 1940 Lt.-Col. R.: B.

This means that an authority can expropriate your property without your even knowing about it -- for a couple of months. But the authority can also take possession 10 days after notifying you, unless you get a court order to stop it.

Please accept this contribution to the discussion in your paper by readers on the education tax. To begin at. the beginning, would it be true to say that taxes based on property are fair? In the beginning, they were fair, but today, decades later, the picutre has chang- ed. Loblaw's and Dontinion are no longer the former giocer, Gener- al Motors is not the McLaugh- lin carriage works, E, P. Tay- lor's brewing empire is not a family affair and the list could go on, While these con- cerns still pay the tax for edu- cation based on property it is insignificant compared to their income while the small business and home owners pay consider- ably more in relation to their income. No, it would not be true to say that education taxes based on property are fair. They must be based on income, While education is a great per- sonal achievement and a very desirable thing, the prime beneficiary is the large corpor- ation which demands engineers, designers, researchers, etc. and in effect set the standard of education. Education in our country un- der the BNA Act is a provincial matter and has nothing what- ever to do with municipalities. Yet the small business and home owner have to pay for what should be a_ provincial tax on corporations. You must go where the money is. The ideal situation would be for the education system to be federal and the corporations federally. This would make the educational standard uniform in our country so that children in families moving from one loca- tion to another or one province to another wouldn't experience any difficulties and teachers credits would be recognized coast to coast. The first steps in this long road are to feel the need that something be done about the education tax, Yours truly, DOUG WILSON 145 Patricia Avenue.
