'he Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1965 -- PAGE 4 'The Vaniers Held High 'In Esteem Of Canadians Tomorrow. Oshawa will have the pleasure of welcoming special guests who are held high in the esteem of Canadians in every walk of life from 'coast to coast. The Governor-Gener- «fl and Madame Vanier have the re- Jepect and warm goodwill of Cana- "dians because of the interest, under- "gtanding and charm they have brought to their vice-regal roles. " At an age when most men have tetreated into retirement, Governor- General Vanier embarked on this most exacting job of his colorful and busy career. He was 71 when called in 1959 to be the Queen's represen- tative in Canada and the second na- tive-born governor-general. Be- hind him were more than 40 years as a lawyer, soldier, diplomat and patriot. The challenge of the extremely demanding position has been met in fine fashion by Governor-General Vanier. His background has equip- a ped him admirably for the role. And more, with Madame Vanier, he shares an evident like of people and the great talent for putting others at ease, At this time in Canadian affairs his concern for national unity and his forthright expression of this concern are of importance and signi- ficance, National unity hasbeen the keynote of the tenure of thitfirst Canadian of French extraction 'to serve as the Queen's representative. His views on the subject of such vital interest to Canadians can be especially appreciated in a city such as Oshawa where citizens take pride in a wide range of backgrounds. The Governor-General is said to have no use for those who would re- duce national unity to what he has disdainfully termed "a monolithic conformity". Rather, he has said, it should be founded on a sincere ap- preciation of the diverse back- grounds of Canadians. These differ- ences add color and variety to the Canadian scene, Oshawa citizens will undoubtedly be demonstrating most warmly to- morrow the pride and pleasure they take in having this devoted Cana- dian and his charming chateline vis- it our city. A Permanent Register A permanent register for voters fn all forms of elections is advocated by Ontario municipal clerks and treasurers. This is not an original idea, but the fact that the proposal comes from these officials gives it substan- tial support from an informed group of men, The Kitchener-Waterloo Record notes. The virtues of a permanent regis- tration are self-evident. Such a sys- tem, for example, would reduce the time needed to prepare elections, a desirable development in times when everyone complains about the length of campaigns br! ~o one does very much about shortening them.

If the list was maintained perman- ently it would be a relatively sim- ple matter to prepare the paper- work, The difficulties are also self-evi- ' dent. There is the problem of ensur- ing that people maintain their regis- tration. Perhaps the most valuable spur would be the loss of their fran- chise. Maintenance of the register could be accompanied in part through the civic assessment de- partments in their annual checks. Extra cost would be involved, but this could be shared between muni- cinalities, provinces and the federal v.cnment. It should, in the long run, be cheaper than the present system. The proposal has also been sup- ported by the Ontario Municipal Association and will likely come be- fore the department of municipal affairs. As The Record says, it might well be a subject for one of these periodic and _ increasingly numerous . inter-provincial confer- ences. Other Editors' Views. UNDERCOVER PAYMENTS The Dorion report into attempted brihery_and_ political coercion con- tains a number of references to ef- forts of persons to obtain political favors by offering contributions to party funds. It is high time this is- sue of under-counter payments to political parties is brought out into the open. -- (Windsor Star) - OTTAWA REPORT "Winds Of Change' On Parliament Hill? By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"My neighor's a lifelong Liberal, but he says he cannot vote for 'Motiveless Mike,' " a civil servant told me recently, in the kind of remark now often heard. Is Canada going through one of those spontaneous changes in the political wind? Parliament Hill first sensed it as a gentle breeze; but increasing gusts are billowing around the hill, from east and north, from west and south. John Diefenbaker, says the message carried on these winds, is making a sensa- tional comeback in popular sup- port. The most exciting man to dominate our political stage since Sir John A. Macdonald, Dief the Chief is showing him- self to be a 20th century replica of The Great Chieftain, in that he is arising as strong as ever from the political grave to which he had been consigned by his countrymen, his supporters and even his Cabinet appointees. Daily more Canadians are mustering once again behind his leadership. The withdrawal of public support and even the res- ignations of ministers are being reassessed ugainst the back- ground of Liberal failure at this time of national need. HEALS BREACH In earlier days in Canada, and today in other democratic countries, disagreements on a specific issue of principle have led to resignations and with- drawal of support. But such a breach may be and has been healed after a brief passage of time, because members of a political party agree on so many points even if they dis- agree on one. Thus it became obvious earlier this year that the path was being cleared for a reunion of all Conservatives; the breach caused by the nu- clear issue could be healed be- cause the nuclear issue had ceased to exist. John Diefenbaker himself held out the olive branch when in February he asked his party's national executive to set up a committee to advise him on policy, without excluding any who had differed with him in the past, So, through several months, a togetherness among Conserva- tives has been gradually incue bating. In the last few days, it has been hatching, Premier Ro- barts of Ontario, for instance, has announced that he and his provincial organization will do everything possible to help John Diefenbaker's federal Con- servatives -- a support which was not offered in the election two years ago; strayed sheep all across Canada are coming back into the Diefenfold. While the breach within the party has thus been healing, public memory of the Diefen- baker years has been mellow- ing, and the comparison be- tween those years and the re- cent, Peatson months has not been unfavorable to Dief the Chief. "If he will keep up his constructive proposals, and not slip back into that Baptist ora- tory always carping at the op- position, he will win back the crowds," one of his admirers toia me. It is this message, coming back to Ottawa from Ontario and the Prairies, from British Columbia and the Maritimes, and especially from Quebec, which at first surprised but now is beginning to convince Parlia- ment Hill. John Diefenbaker on his re- cent 70th birthday, people noted, is strong and hale, a man reborn, and obviously ca- pable of outlasting Sir John A. Macdonald's 76 years. The little people of Canada are once again writing him their good wishes and their faith by the postbagful. Business interests, especially those with United States affiliations, are compar- ing the Conservative policies favorably ;with those evidenced by the Liberal government, The strictures of the press against the Pearson government -- for failing to clean house, for parti- san opportunism. in calling the election, for interfering with freedom, are stricter than were ever levelled against Diefen- baker. "Its just like 1958 all over again," was how one dedi- cated Liberal ruefully summed it up to me. Food, Clothing Shortages In 'Year Of Agriculture' By ISAAC M. FLORES HAVANA (AP)--In this, the "year of agriculture,' Cubans continue to endure shortages of food, clothing, shoes and other essentials. "By far the most essential items we lack are clothing and shoes," said an elderly clean- ing woman. . They are strictly rationed. So is food, but Cuban housewives have noted some improyement in the food situation during the year while the availability of clothes and shoes has remained more or less static. The Cuban can legally buy one pair of leather shoes and one pair of canvas - covered shoes a year for each member of his family--if he can get them, and if he can afford them when they are available, It is not uncommon to wait in line for two or three hours to get into a store to find that shoes are not available in the size needed, Men and wives often prowl the business sec- tions so they can find out im- mediately when and where shoes, pants or dresses are be- ing sold. A store may have a needed item one day, sell out quickly and then be without it for weeks or months. The housewife's big complaint is that she can never plan meals. She takes what-she can get when it's available. Certain fruits or vegetables show up in food stores all at once and in large quantities for a week or two and then disap- pear for months. Eggs are plentiful and only loosely rationed now. The tight rationing of most other food items, especially meat and poul- try, continues. Fresh milk is available only to children under seven or the very old. Children over seven years old and healthy adults are entitled to six small cans of evaporated milk a month, Fish, normally abundant in this island nation, is scarce; lobster and shrimp, previously readily available, are unheard of in neighborhood stores. Much of the fish and meat goes for and to--restaurants .or special stores for certain cate- gories of government employ- visiting technicians and diplomatic personnel, Prime Minister Castro seeks to do away with rationing of vegetables by the end of the year and eliminate rationing on ali foodstuffs in 1966, ees, aA TANI AT CANADA'S No. 2 MAN... TO ... BLUNT, UNABASHED A Most Undiplomatic Kind Of Diplomat By WILLIAM NEVILLE OTTAWA (CP)--Marcel Ca- dieux, the No. 2 man in Can- ada's external affairs depart- ment, is in many ways a most undiplomatic kind of diplomat. He's blunt-spoken, given to quick judgments and unabashed in his enthusiasm for his work and life in general. He also is a quick-minded in- tellectual, an extremely efficient administrator and an engaging personality. The combination has made him undersecretary of state for externa] affairs, one of the top- ranking French-speaking Cana- dians in the federal service and a world authority on interna- tional law. "For me there has never been any other vocation," he says. "T grade my work into. three categories -- interesting, more interesting and very interest- ing." ' His present appointment, which began May 7, 1964, defi- nitely rates in the latter cate- gory. He has been deputy to Ex tefnal Affairs Minister Martin at a time when the department has been undergoing a thorough administrative overhauling in line with the :Glassco commis- sion report. It has. been a pe- riod of expanded activity abroad, particularly in Africa, and of a series of major inter- national events in which Canada urb of Ahuntsic into a typically ments in psychological warfare has played an important role. SIZES UP ISSUES In all these areas, say his closest colleagues, Mr. Cadieux has been in the forefront. "In many ways, he's the ideal undersecretary," said one of his co-workers. "'He's one of the best administrators the depart- ment has had and he's the type on policy matters who goes right to the heart of the issue and makes up his mind." Mr. Cadieux himself says that, on policy matters, he goes by one central standard: will it work? "Our credit as a smaller country is not unlimited and we have to use it carefully and wisely,' he said in an inter- view. "I have no time for those who would have us going in all directions at the same time." That does not mean, however, that he is a reactionary in his views on Canada's role in world affairs. "Far from it.-There is more and more scope for our people and we are taking advantage of it. But our resources are mod- est and we have to use them in accord with carefully worked out priorities. It is a pragmatic approach." It is also an authentic reflec- tion of the grey - haired, deli- cately featured man born 50 years ago in the Montreal sub- close - knit French - Canadian environment, "We were only four--I have a sister three years younger but we had many relatives and, in that sense, we were a larger family. It was a real French- Canadian home." MIND MADE UP Through his academic career (College Grasset, University of Montreal and McGill Univer- sity) and during a brief stint as a practising lawyer in Mont- real, "there was never any doubt about my career; it was going to be in the foreign serv- ice."' In 1941, he joined the then- fledgling external -affairs de- partment. "The change when | came here from Montreal was quite a shock. I had no family here, no friends, and I was a French- Canadian. You could only ac- complish as much as you could do in the English language and, for me, it was like having two left hands." He quickly adjusted, however, to the new environment. Today he acts as father-counsellor for young Quebecers entering the diplomatic service and remains philosophically "dedicated to the proposition that the future of French-Canada lies as a part of Canada as a whole." To a green rookie still in his 20s, the early 1940s with assign: and latterly in London as liaison with the Free French were an exhilarating experience. ENJOYS MOVIES "When I think back, I am still amazed that I was actually paid to do this work which, had I been wealthy, I myself would have patd to have done. It was like giving candy to a child." In his 25 years with external affairs, Mr. Cadieux has had only four foreign postings--Lon- don, Brussels, Paris and Hanoi--with the remaining 19 years spent in Ottawa as a per- sonnel officer and legal expert. Outside the office, Mr, Ca- dieux likes to romp with his two children, aged four and eight. "I'm continually surprised how your kids sive you back five times as much in enjoyment as you give them." He also enjoys movies--he's on the board of directors of the National Film 'Board -- and hooks, of which he's written four himself "Really "m kind of a low- brow. I iin, 'levision, too, and I'm the kind of guy who bites his fingernails when the action gets heavy at the movies." And, te might:have added, the kind of guy who, when his fingernails get short, writes a paper of world stature for the International Law Commission. 7] Ann nres ; CANADA'S STORY PO 10M eet ANA <----" ef ~ ---. ow ~~. me f / / Weird Election Won By BOB BOWMAN Sir John A.

First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1915 -- Russian armies took 4,000 prisoners and forced the Austrians back across the Styr River; Greek war mobilization began; 2nd Ca- nadian Division took over the Kemmel sector on the Western front. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day -- in.1940 -- the George Cross and George Medal were created for civilian gallantry; General de Gaulle and a Franco-British naval force attacked Dakar, French West Africa; food was rationed in France; it was announced German sub- marines had sunk 159,288 tons of merchant shipping during the last week. Tax Fat People, New Party Plan COPENHAGEN (AP)--A civil engineer has announced a new Danish political party which aims to tax fat people and de- cree an intelligence test for any- body seeking public office. Ova Becker, 39, is founder of the Reform Party and its only known member so far. A book promulgating his political think- ing is called Learn to Think. Under his plan nobody: should he able to become a member of Parliament, a teacher, a judge or a newspaper man with an 1Q (intelligence quotient) below 125. An IQ of 100 would be re- quired of voters. For income and _ purchase taxes, Becker would substitute a tax on obesity, For every two pounds of overweight,' citizens would hand over one hour's pay every month, TT abled Louis Lafontaine to be the first Prime Minister, Metcalfe was adamant that he should direct. policy. His ministers were there only for consulta- tion, There was a good deal of support for his position because Britain was paying for the de- fence of Canada and therefore, it was claimed, should nave the final say in matters of policy. Advocates of responsible gov- ernment were accused of heing disloyal, even by some Cana- dians. Among them were Bis- hop Strachan and other lead- ers of the Church of England in Canada, and Egerton Ryerson, the leader of the Methodists. On September 23, 1844 Met- calfe dissolved Parliament and called an election. Although he represented the Crown, he campaigned like a_ political leader, and won the election by a small majority. John A. Macdonald, young Kingston lawyer, was one of the Tories elected, although pri- vately he believed that Canada should have responsible govern- ment. Neither did he like being called a Tory, and changed his name to Conservative as soon as possible.

Few wars lend themselves to the tidy calculations of casualty statistics, taking civilians into account, and this ts doubly true in Viet Nam, It becomes even more so as air strikes against the Viet Cong insurgents in rural areas of the south keep mounting in intensity, hitting friend and foe. This new aspect of the war, credited as the main reason why the Viet Cong has not struck as hard as it had been expected to do this summer, is raising some concern about the impact on the civilian popula- tion. As postulated in critical American newspaper dispatches from South Viet Nam, it raises the question whether people fac- ing almost daily assaults by bombs, rockets, 'napalm and bullets make likely converts or loyal elements. No one has any idea precisely of just how many are dead or wounded, or are being killed and injured daily. Much of the news issued by official sources is based-on the word of "agents" on the scene after the planes have gone, Eighty-five per cent 'of the 15,000,000 South Vietnamese live in the country. The percentage is smaller for the 17,000,000 in Communist North Viet Nam. Effective administration in the _ from Saigon is virtually nil. MORE KILLED Latest American military cas- ualty figures show 655 deaths since 1961, 3,483 wounded, 52 missing and 20 prisoners of war. There now are more than 125,000 American troops in Viet Nam, Australia, which has 100 mili- tary advisers and 1,000 combat troops in Viet Nam, has re- ported 10 soldiers killed and 21 wounded. New Zealand, with a contingent of 120 artillerymen, has reported two dead and one wounded. The U.S. defence department has on file South Vietnamese army casualties from 1961 but these figures--which the Vietna' mese embassy says are avail- able otherwise only from the general staff in Saigon -- seem patently conservative. For 1961, for example, casual- ties are listed as 9,000 with a rule-of-thumb calculation that one-quarter were deaths. 1962 figures show 4,400 dead, The. 7,300 wounded and 1,300 missing or captured, _This compares wiht the 1964 figures of 7,000 dead, 16,700 wounded and 5,800 missing or captured. Monthly figures for 1965 to date reflect the sharper fighting but still seem low and conspicu- ously so in under-playing the heavy desertion 'rate afflicting the South Vietnamese forces. One estimate of total Vietna- mese deaths' as good as any comes from Bernard Fall, a French professor of history at Howard University here who writes frequently about Viet Nam on the basis of personal on - the - spot knowledge dating back to the French withdrawal. 250,000 DEAD Fall suggests in a recent book review that the war north and south in the last 2% years has taken at least 250,000 lives, _The kind of war it is magni- fies even the problem of keep- ing track of the living, Partition of Viet Nam in 1954 is estimated to have sent 1,000,000 refugees south and north, Today, refugees fleeing in the south from the Viet Cong and the hazards of bombs and bul- lets from both sides are esti- mated between 590,000 and 600,- 000, These live in wretched con- ditions. There are-an estimated 22,000 to 25,000 amputees needing treatment. The reason why the toll in dead and wounded among the im civilian population is expected to rise lies in figures showing that U.S. air strikes north and south now number around 11,000 a month, compared with 2,000 last January. The U.S. Air Force has said privately it be- lieves it has accounted for 15,- 000 "kills" so far this year, BIBLE Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods, -- Exodus 18:11. When we read the many in- junctions in the Old Testament that we should worship the Lord God of Hosts and no other god or gods, we feel that these teachings are for a bygone age. And yet, how many people to- day worship the gods of gold, worldly wealth, prestige and temporal power? QUEEN'S PARK : Byelections Bolster Thompson TORONTO -- Andy Thompson sions -- more settled in seat as leader of the Liberal party, The double byelection win of the Grits has been a big boost for Mr, Thompson, And a boost that w; needed. g head No new political leader is ever really accepted in his job until he has shown power at the polls, Even John Robarts didn't have the united support of his party until he showed his vote- getting ability in the 1963- elec- Jon, Prior to these byelections, Mr. Thompson was in particu: larly poor shape, His first year in office, and his first term as Opposition leader in the house, had not been impressive, And there was strong dissension in his caucus, and to some extent in th ranks, -- HAD THEY ERRED? Many in the party were won- dering bo they hadn't made a great big mistake in na him leader, ne Much of that feeling should now disappear. W> still have to see just what Mr. Thompson really stands for --what is the form of his basic Political beliefs, 4 But we can write him in as a leader of the party who will stay around, for a whilé at least. The Liberal leader gets a lot of personal credit for the party's victories, particularly in Nipissing. And the important People in the party will appreciate this. Campaigning has been ac- knowledged as Mr. Thompson's strongest political asset, WON SINGLE-HANDED In his initial venture in poll- tics he took the riding of Tor- onto-Dovercourt away from the PC's in almost a single-handed effort. He and his wife canvassed the riding 16 hours a day and came up with a surprise win. Since then, he also has made a mame as the manager of of Walter Gordon's campaigns in the same area federally and as_a trouble-shooter in other ridings. He devoted most of his atten- tion in the byelections to Nipis- sing, He and members of the youn staff he is building up ph oar : great deal of time in the riding, And with a good candidate, druggist Dick Smith, they were able to pull off what amounted to a surprise. For in advance of the vote a good many ob- servers were writing off the seat to the PC's, Mr. Thompson did not play as big a part in Toronto-Bracon- dale. The successful candidate there, George Ben, is a one- man band who pretty well ran his own show. But the win also, of course, adds to the lustre of the leader.
