She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited _ 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario " T. L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, suLy 19, 1965 ~-- 4 A Responsible Role-Yes: That Of Third Monkey-No! Canada would be destined to play the role of the third monkey -- the one that says no evil -- if the report on Principles of Partnership with the United States is followed to thé lettér. Of course, since the report was released last week, the sugges tions of 'quiet' diplomacy for Cati- ada -- réfraifiing from public critic- ism of Ameriéan policy -- has been showered pretty thoroughly with cold watér, évéh by the prime minister, Elsewhere 6n this page today, The Times éorréspondent in Wash- ington gives vent to strong criticism of the suggestion. It wotild be foolish, however, to condénin the report 48 & Wholé because a section of it apparently advocates thé gag- ging of Canadian reaction to U.S. foreign policies. Other sections deal with the smoothing of economic ré- lations between the two countries and conceivably can offer worth- while advice on what will be con- tinually growifig problems of trade ahd commerce, On the more contentious question of thé Canadian government risking the fruffing of the feathers of the USS. eagle and those of his master if the White House, it could be that the authors of the report have been too limited in their view, Canada certainly has & unique position in her relations with the US. bit that is not our country's only role in international affairs. Canada also plays leading rolés in the United Nations, in NATO, in the Commonwealth. Our cotifitry has an influence as a middle power which necessitates speaking ott responsibly, whether the views aré contrary to those of the U.S. or nét. Responsible comment is the key. Fortier Prime Minister Diefeti« baker's fussing and flaying of the U.S, doés not fall into this category ; hor does the Néw Détiocratic marches and harangues, Canada has a great deal of réspéct internation ally, including in the U.S. To keep it, Canadian comment must be con- structive.and responsible, A Sound Investment The downtowh Oshawa merchants who have anfiduticed redevelopment plans certainly merit the commen- dation they have received from Mayor Gifford. Their action is an important civic consideration, It is noticéablée particularly at this season of the year when tourists are visiting the city. Regardless of the beautifully-landscaped residen- tial and the fine shopping centres, visitors aré prone to judge the com- munity by what they find in the heart of the city, the downtown business area. In Oshawa's case, we're known as an automotive manufacturing city. But it will be our commercial centres as much as our industrial plants which will remain in the mind's eye She Oshawa Sines T. L.

And as the industrial commissioner has pointed out, we nevér know when one of the visitors may be an industrialist or businessman looking for a community in which to estab- lish, Other cities in the province have hot shown the concern evident here and their main thoroughfares have degenerated sadly, even though they may make considerable cic sacnea progress. The move started by downtown merchants in Oshawa to put fore- ward the best front possible is a sound investment -- both for the future of the city and for them- selves as progressive businessmen. Other Editors' Views ALL WASTED Leadership qualities and bright intellects can be wasted by forcing all students to learn at the level of the slowest youngster in the class-- a system discriminates against those with the most ability. It is the sort of reduction to the lowest common denominator which kills in- centive in a socialist society without special attention, potential ability may remain undeveloped and even the ablest individual tends to use only a fraction of his talent. -- (Vancouver Province) The camera catches & majestic panorama of the Laufentiah Mountains in THE LAND OF MAPLE LEAF today's Lard of thé Maple Leaf series.

Optimism seems limited to getting the 17 - country United Nations committee back on the rails after a pause of 10 months. Swift progress is discounted, even on the most vital issue of halting the spread of nuclear weapons beyond the five coun- triés now making the bomb. Twenty or more countries, in- cluding Canada, could make nu- clear weapons within two or three years after launching @ program to do s0,. leading sci- entists have said. CONCERN GENUINE The most likely reasons Mos- cow has agreed to resume the disarmament talks are: 1, Russian leaders are gen- uinely concerned about the spread of nuclear weapons, not only because China has ex- ploded two primitive devices. Moscow has been in full agree- ment with the U.S. and other countries about putting ef- fective safeguards on the sale of reactors for peaceful pur- poses. 2. The Soviet move is a slap at China, another signal that the Soviet Union intends now to follow its own course after fu- tile efforts by the successors of Mikita Khrushchev to patch up the bitter Singo-Soviet quarrel. Russ Disarmament Talks 3. The Soviet Union is anxi- ous to display itself as the more responsible of the two Commu- nist giants, for the particular benefit of non-aligned countries which have called for a resump- tion of disarmament talks. At the same time, Russia runs the risk of drawing fresh Chinese charges that it has sold out to the U.S. on Viet Nam. 4. Russia can use the Geneva conference, as it did the recent 114 - country UN disarmament sessions in New York, to flay American policy in Viet Nam and American proposals for in- cluding West Germany in NATO's nuclear structure. 5. Russia wants to keep the line to Washington open even though rising American military involvement in Viet Nam puts it in such an embarrassing po- sition. JOHNSON PLEASED The Russian decision to re- sume talking is pleasing to President Johnson on two counts. Despite Viet Nam, Johnson has worked hard to do what he can to improve relations with Russia, or stop them from hit- ting rock bottom at least. On the domestic political level, he has -been concerned about some criticism that he has' turned his back on the threat of nuclear spread. Just before going to San Francisco to address the UN commem- morative sessions late last month, he got a pointed re- minder from Democratic Sena- tor Robert Kennedy, who in- WASHINGTON CALLING By Gordon Donaldson Report On 'Partnership' Real Shocker! WASHINGTON (Special) -- The report on "Principles of Partnership" between the U.S. and Canada, published last week, is a shocking example o diplomatic incest. It was produced by a former Canadian ambassador to Wash- ington and a former U.S. am- bassador to Ottawa, who hap- pen to be personal friends. Ix says the two countries could get along just fine if Americans showed a little more respect for the state of the Canadian econ- omy and if Canadians would shut up and " U.S. policy on trust. If everybody folléwed the principl@s laid down by Living. ston Merchant of the U.S. and Arnold Heeney of Canada, dip- lomats could sleep better at night. There would be no incon- venient phone calls from their governments; no need to bear protest notes to their buddies on the other side; no need to argue or negotiate. In fact there wouldn't be much need to maintain large embassy staffs in Ottawa and The first principle, of course, is that Canadians be seen and ay heard, ph in the report rong at shocked even U.S. report- ein Se siiitetiens with the United States, Canadian author- ities must have confidence that the practice of quiet diplomacy is not only neighborly and con- venient to the United States but that it is in fact more effective than the alternative of raising @ row and being unpleasant in public." This is aimed at Prime Minis- ter Pearson who, the Johnson administration feels, behaved unpleasantly in public by com- ing to Philadelphia last spring and suggesting the U.S. stop bombing North Viet Nam, for a little while. REPRIMAND The suggestion was later ac- cepted, but not in the spirit Pearson intended. After chew- ing out Pearson at their unfortu- nate Camp David meeting the day after the speech, President Johnson did call off his bomb- ers for five days. But. before that he had been assured by the North Vietnam- ese that the pause wasn't going to change their thinking in the slightest. Merchant and Heeney were given the job, on February: 28, 1964, of working out a plan to avoid conflicts between U.S. and Canadian policies in the future. They reported to the President and Prime Minister in a 27 page document based on a study. of 12 specific U.S.-Canadian prob- lems. These include trade with Cuba, the nuclear warheads row;the Greak Lakes shipping dispute, wheat market- tax policies, / ing, the U.S. insistence that its laws apply to its Canadian sub- sidiary companies. The report skates lightly over these, throws in some standard facts siz cliches on the over- the-border relationship, then gets down fo a quid-pro-quo deal. TRADE CURTAILED The U.S. should examine its Trading With The Enemy Act which covers the operations of U.S. subsidiaries. This stopped Form of Canada selling trucks to China, The two ambassadors recommended the U.S. issue a general licence to its subsidiar- ies to remove this "irritant'"', Canada should be consulted in advance when the U.S. is plan- ning any move like the interest equalization tax which hurt small U.S. investment in Cana- dian companies while encourag- ing U.S. takeover bids. What should Canadians do in return? Shut up, is the clear un- garbled reply. They may criticize day to day trivialities in a friendly over- the-border. way. But when it comes to anything important -- like the prospect of nuclear an« nihilation through an 'escala- tion of America's war in Viet Nam, they must be seen and not heard. The report states: 'It is im- portant and reasonable that Ca- nadian authorities should have careful] regard for the U.S. Gov- eraoment's position (as leader of the free world) and in the ab- sence of special Canadian inter- ests or obligations, avoid, as far as possible, public disagree- ment, especially upon critical issues." THOUGHT CONTROL Obviously it would be a bet- ter world if nations never dis- agreed. The theory that public criticism on "critical" (i.e. im- portant) issues should be squelched just because the big nation needs elbow-room for its battle with Communism is ap- pallingly reminiscent of the thought-control imposed through the Third International. American reporters promptly interpreted the 'report as a warning to Canada to keep its nose out of American affairs. The wonder here is that the Ca- nadian -- Heeney -- could bring himself to sign it. As freedom-loving American friends of mine see it, it asks Canada to give up its birthright for a small cold mess of Eco- nomic pottage, The two ambassadors state in the preamble to their effusion that their personal friendship has contributed to their work and added a personal quality. Next time, I suggest, pick personal enemies. Or at least strangers. For, if the U.S. and Canada were as buddy-buddy as Messrs. Heeney and Merchant there would be no need to study the principles of partnership in the frat place, ing with the theme of Can- Adians getting to know their country better.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS People are pretty smart, if you take them one at a time, but the larger groups they form, the foolisher they get. All sorts of unprecedented and astounding things are hap- pening these days: Example: Russia announced that its spacecraft Luna 6 launched to soft-land on the moon, missed its target by 96,000 miles. There's nothing surprising, of course, about the length of beards of just returned orbit- ing astronauts; what amazes is that theirs: hadn't turned white.

Sale Rich In Canadiana By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- We are not blessed with many comprehen- sive and intelligently collected private libraries, so it is of wide interest that one of the finest of the few private collec- tions in Canada is now about to be disposed of. This is the col- lection assembled over the past half-century by J. Warner Mur- phy, of Camlachie, Ont. It in- cludes valuable old books, newspapers of historic interest, oil paintings and engravings and photographs from earlier centuries, and old letters. Its rarity and its strong. Canadian interest make one hope that it will be acquired for one of our universities or art galleries, be- fore it is broke up and dis- persed--perhaps all over the continent and beyond. Mr. Murphy, for 17 years member of parliament for Lambton West, enjoyed the op- portunity afforded by his jour- neyings around Canada to im- plement his knowledge and in- terest in assembling this uni- que collection, I well remember many years ago how "Murph" and his friend T. B. Barrett, Conservative MP for Norfolk, used to prowl around old book shops in Ottawa during their noon hour. One such shop was that run by a cousin of Can- ada's eighth prime minister, Sir Robert Borden; he is Bor- den Clarke, who now operates the largest and best-known mail order business in old books in North America, from Old Au- thors' Farm, Morrisburg, On- tario. FAMOUS LIBRARIES SOLD Borden Clarke acquired the libraries of Sir John A. Mac- donald and Sir Sandford Flem- ing for disposal, and this was one prolific source for the Mur- phy collection. Items were also acquired from the library of John Ferguson, of Thamesville and from the Colonel Mercer estate in Toronto. It was Sir John A. Macdon- ald's library which yielded many of the old newspapers in the Murphy collection, some dating back to 1807.

All London was agog 144 years ago today--in 1821-- when Queen Caroline, the wife for 26 years of King George IV, was locked out of Westminster Abbey dur ing the coronation and her name struck out of the cer- emonies, On the king's ac- cession a bill had been passed in the. House of Lords to divorce and de- grade her, but it was aban- doned because of popular disbelief of her extra-mar- ital affairs. Later historians found both she and the king were equally guilty of infi- delity. However Caroline re- tained wide romantic sup- port, especially. after she died within three weeks of the coronation. 48 -- First women's rights convention held at Seneca Falls, N.Y. 1957--First U.S. nuclear- armed rocket, an air-to-air missile, was fired.

The books in the Murphy col- lection include travel volumes on Scotland and Switzerland containing prints by Bartlett; this artist's Canadian prints are currently enjoying an enor- mous vogue here. PREMIER AND PUBLISHER A souvenir of Sir John A. Macdonald, complete with his bookplate, is the "History of Revolutions in Europe", pub- lished in 1846. Sir John financed this, but lost money on the ven- ture so henceforth stuck to poli- tics! Other Canadiana include "The rise of Canada from Bar- barism to Wealth and Civiliza- tion, Volume I."' But the author, Charles Rodger, died before he could write volume two. And there is a rare first edition of "The Canadian Portrait Gal- lery" with colour portraits in four volumes. An interesting souvenir of early U.S. history is 'The courtship of Miles Standish' with 50 illustrations. Treasures from other lands include such collectors' items as bound vol- umes of the Strand Magazine containing the first printing of the Sherlock Holmes saga. As well as many pictures, and photographs of the first visit by the Ontario Legislature to northern Ontario, there are 100 letters written by and to Sir J. P. Whitney, KCMG, when he was premier of Ontario. ._ This remarkable collection has already attracted the atten- tion of Sothebys auction rooms in England. But it is to be hoped that this heritage of Ca- nadiana will be preserved in one of our institutions, rather than be permitted to be dis- persed outside Canada.

Irkutsk is surrounded low forested hills, with snow-capped mountains off the south an Mongolia beyond them. It-is 40 miles down the Angara from Lake Baikal where the great river rises. Baikal, elegant and jewel - like in a customary shroud of light mist, is 1% miles deep and, the "Russians say, is the largest fresh water lake in the world by volume. Irkutsk was founded in 1653 as a Cossack fort, Like many parts of Siberia, the area around Irkutsk was once a place of banishment for crimi- nals and political prisoners, The city has a flavor all its own, combining the brashnéss of a frontier settlement with the rather complacent look of an old established community. SING AT MIDNIGHT One Sunday night, after checking into our hotel, a friend and I went out to sample the balmy June air. It was mid- night but on the main street people were walking alone sing- ing at the tops of their voices. It was soon evident that they are less care-driven, more re- laxed and informal than those living in the crowded cities of western Russia. And their ebul- lience is typified by their mayor, an outspoken, warm and gregarious man who, given a ten-gallon hat, could have been the mayor of a city in Canada's West. But if the pace of life is less hurried, the development of Si- beria is dynamic. With only eight per cent of the Soviet pop- ulation, Siberia will soon be get- ting one-third of all investment capital allotted under the . na- tional budget. Millions of rubles are going into hydro projects. On the An- gara and Yenisei rivers alone, dams with a total capacity of nearly 45,000,000 kilowatts-- more than twice Canada's pres- ent output--are planned. Largely completed is a 4,500,- 000-kilowatt dam at Bratsk, the world's biggest in terms of in- stalled capacity, and a 5,000,- 000-kilowatt dam is under con- struction at Krasnoyarsk, Plans are being made to tie all of Siberia's hydro stations into one big electrical system on grid, which would confer im- mense benefits from the stand- point of efficient power use. And a long-range prospect is the idea of tying the European and Siberian systems together into a huge national grid.
