Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Shock Therapy To Jar Disinterested Electorate The editor of the United Church Observer is not one who sidles softly up to an issue. He prefers a collision course which might cause controversy but also provokes _ thought. In the leading editorial of the 'current Observer he administers 'shock treatment in contradicting the soft-sell of the expression "Vote 'as You Please But Please Vote". The Observer's admonition is "Stay at home if you don't know 'how to vote!" Canada needs good government and good opposition, the editorial states "and we're not likely to get it if we continue to harangue the uniformed to get out 'and do their duty by voting for, hockey players, wrestling champ- 'fons, orators, pretty-faced politic- ians, Bible-quoters, or men with depression-complexes and big pro- mises". 4 Hitler didn't rise to power because voters were apathetic. "He got there because great numbers of uniform- ed, misled, excited people voted unwisely". "If we can't be intelligent about voting," says the journal, "why go and cancel the vote of someone who has studied the issues, assessed the candidates and brought his brains to the ballot box?" is the question posed. The timing of the editorial is op- portune. For those who get its message there is still a good two weeks to acquaint themselves with the issues. It's all too easy to dis- miss the speeches and the published reports of campaigners as political palaver. The candidates are fulfill- ing their responsibility in putting their cases before us. The respon- sibility is ours to assess carefully not only what they say but the ramifications of their platforms. We can no longer afford to be disinterested or indifferent to the promises or aspirations of those contesting the election. Time's still available for us all to become in- formed voters on Nov. 8. 'Cartnappers At Work The destruction and disappear- ance of shopping carts are posing problems for Ajax supermarkets.

In the land south of the border where ingenuity excells, the Amer- icans plant flowers in the shopping carts; they turn them into barbe- cues; and teenagers make them into bucket seats for their hot-rod cars. The variations are endless, the BBC Magazine "The Listener" reports. Hundreds of thousands of carts costing several millions of dollars disappear each year. As a defensive measure, one supermarket installed a magnetic strip round the perimeter of its stores. It worked. The magnet jam- med the wheels. But the cartnap- pers were furious, and took their business to a more tolerant mer- chant. Consumer education is now seen as the most likely solution. In Detroit, newspaper advertise- ments carry a cartoon character called Katie Kartnapper who is always being caught: by other irate housewives and lectured on the error of her ways. If all else fails the supermarkets might resort to posting rewards in trading stamp bonus for the return of carts in good repair. With the appeal the stamps seem to have they could well end up with a surplus of carts. * St. OTTAWA REPORT Pollution Problem In Water Sunnly By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The basic differ- ence between what and water is that a moderate annual sup- ply of the latter will produce in Canada a huge exportable sur- plus. of the former. The reverse does not apply; by scattering a few grains of seed wheat on our Great Lakes,. we cannot raise their disastrously lowered levels. I have referred in this col- umn to the losses which Can- ada and Canadians now are suf- fering through the draining of water from. our Great Lakes- Lawrence Seaway water system. Ralph Cowan, the all- Canadian MP elected as a Lib- eral in Toronto, has made a spe- cial study of this problem, and his voice has been the loudest of the few raised in warning. On the other side, we have heard some gigantic engineering proposals to redesign the face of Canada to meet the needs of our prodigal neighbor, One such proposal, to divert rivers which now flow into thé Arctic Ocean, caught the imagination by its engineering daring. But now it is beginning to cause national fear by its: economic rashness. Canada is already using up each year more of our supply of pure water than nature will re- place; we cannot afford to give or to sell our water to others; on the contrary, we must adopt better conservation methods to hold our own. GENERAL SPEAKS Canada's outstanding author- ity on this subject is General A. G. L. McNaughton. Knowing my previous interest in it, he kindly sent me an advance copy of a speech dealing with water resources which he recently de- livered before the Canadian Club of Montreal. "My thesis is a simple one," the general declared. "It rests on a basic premise that is self- evident to any thoughtful per- son, namely that water is the Political Link fundamental resource in any civilization. There is never too much water; the amount of water available determines the upper limit of a nation's de- velopment. In Canada, our up- per limit of development is high largely because of our water resources. This fact should be an inducement for us to speed up our progress rather than to relinquish the fundamental asset that makes it possible. It is therefore nonsense to talk about a surplus of water in Canada, and it is dangerous folly even to contemplate selling our water." PRIME MINISTER SPEAKS While the general thus insists that he who would sell Canada's river water would be selling Canada down 'the river, Prime Minister Pearson has disclosed that his government plans to discuss with the United States proposals to export our water to that country. The general said that the North American water and power alliance, proposed by the U.S., is "a monstrous corpora- tion which would drain our water resources and distribute the benefits across the contin- ent at a cost of some hundred billion dollars." "Tf our friends to the south have a hundred billion dollars to spend on the problem, let them spend it to process their abund- and supplies of dirty water. This scheme would dispossess Can- ada of her water while the fact is that the U.S.A. does not need clean Canadian water." The real problem, the general suggested, is the scarcity of clean water, rather than a short- age of water. If Canada plans to take any steps with the US. about water, those steps should be to insist upon measures al- ready planned to halt pollution. "It is a matter of great urg- ency, and the sooner it is dealt with, the cheaper it will be." But sell our water to U.S.? No, Mr. Pearson. Explored the For Australia, Neighbor By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent AUCKLAND (CP)--The idea of a political link between Aus- tralia and New Zealand, long derided as pie in the sky, has, suddenly advanced into the realm of possibility, The pros- pect is seen as still a long way off, but not utterly impractical. To the outside world, Aus- tralia and New Zealand seem obvious candidates for unity. Isolated in the South Pacific, and inhabited mainly by people of British stock, they have much in common -- language, laws, traditions Australia for more than a century has looked on New Zea- land as a desirable addition, a seventh state to set alongside New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia 'and West Australia But New Zealand is separated from Australia by 1,200 miles of ocean, and by an individual na- tional outlook which has grown stronger since the Second World War New Zealanders have always viewed the idea of fusion with their much larger neighbor with great wariness. They have con sistently maintained that they would be swallowed up without trace by Australia and would have little voice in contro! of their own affairs. The idea of unity has been oer mE TORY SWEEP IN '58 EXCEPTION . . . oui suntan given impetus by an agreement reached earlier this year to establish a free trade area be- tween the two countries. It is estimated that about 80 per cent of trade between them will come within the pact and it is hoped to increase the propor- tion. oy This proposition also was thought impractical until recent times. It was accepted only grudgingly by New Zealand business, fearful of the go- getter reputation of Australians and of the competition from larger and more strongly-estab- lished Australian industries. The pact as signed, however, con- tains many protecting and es- cape clauses and many busi- ness leaders believe it. should result in mutual benefit. The idea of integrdting Aus- tralian and New Zealand de- fence also has been increasingly canvassed as the two countries have become closely involved in operations in Malaysia and Viet Nam.

UNBROKEN IN 67 YEARS Laurier Captured Quebec For Liberals With 75 MPs, Quebec fills more than one-quarter of the 265 seats in Parliament. But only once since 1891 has it failed to give the Liberals a bigger share than any other party. This story traces the history of federal voting patterns in the proy- ince. By CY FOX MONTREAL (CP) -- Except for: the massive Conservative sweep of 1958, the Liberal party has been winning the biggest share of Quebec seats in fed- eral elections for more than seven decades. It was in 1891 that Sir Wilfrid « Laurier, as head of the federal Liberals, captured his native Quebec. It was only the second time in seven elections -begin- ning with Confederation,\, the Liberals having previously von a majority of the province's seats only in 1874 But it set a pattern that was to continue unbroken for 67 years : 'In 1896, Laurier's party in- creased its strength in Quebec to: 49 from the 1891 figure of 35 while the Conservative rep- resentation in the province dropped to 16 from 30. The de- velopment was part of a nation- wide Liberal swing that made the French - speaking Laurier prime minister. Canada's first prime minister, Conservative Sir John A. Mac- donald, found a solid French- Canadian partner in George has" Etienne Cartier during the years immediately following Confeder- ation in 1867. The alliance was assisted by the fact that for many church- men and traditionalists in the largely Roman Catholic prov- ince, some Liberals seemed hostile to sound order and anti clerical in the manner of the "radical" thinkers of Europe at that time The. Liberals (Rouges) were not to be trusted, went this view, and the Conservatives (Bleus) found themselves with Quebec virtually in the electoral bag-- except for the election of 1874, when the province voted in 33 Liberals as against 32 Conserv- atives on the strength of an elec- tion-fund scandal fatal to the Tories across Canada As the years went by; church hostility toward Liberal ideolo- gies lessened. A factor, too, was the role of Laurier, who like some other influential Catholics, insisted that victory for the Rouges would not undermine the church Then came church differences with the Conservative govern- ment over maintenance of sep- arate Catholic 'schools in some areas outside Quebec inhabited by substantial French-speaking minorities A climactic event in the swing of Quebec into the federal! Lib- eral camp was the execution in 1885 of Louis Riel for his Red River "rebellion With the eloquent Laurier at "William their head, the Liberals main- tained a strong hold on Quebec up: to the election of 1911 In that year, the Conserva- tives 'and Nationalists in the province collaborated to in- crease their anti - Liberal strength to 27 from the previous Tory holding of 11 seats. though the government still held 37 There was one independent elected OPPOSED TREATY The Conservatives had sharply opposed Laurier's plan for a reciprocal trade treaty with the United States. The Nationalists, under Henri Bourassa, opposed the prime minister's policies re- garding possible Canadian in- volvement in British naval op- erations. The serious Liberal losses in Quebec were part of a national victory by the man who was to be Canada's next prime mini- ster, Sir Robert Borden Borden continued in office through the First World War, which brought the - country's first of two conscription crises. That initial controversy over compulsory military service left many Quebecers, after 1917, firmly alienated from the Con- servatives, and subsequent elec- tions reflected their shift The province stayed Liberal through the rise to power of Lyon Mackenzie King in 192], the fall of his Liberal government before the Tory forces of R.. B. Bennett and King's return to office in 1935, Bennett's' victory came in 1930. He took 137 Commons seats nationally to 88 for the Liberals and 20 for other parti- sans, In Quebec the 'Tory strength rose. to 24 seats from four, while the Liberals plum meted to 49 from 60. A single independent belonged to the still-vigorous Bourassa AIDED BY LAPOINTE With the Liberal steamroller back to form in 1935 and 1940, the King government rode out the conscription storm of the Second World War Initially, during the war, the Ljberal prime minister had such men as the veteran Ernest La- pointe, prosperity and memories of the Tory-implemented con- scription of .1917 to boost his Quebec fortunes, suggests Ron- ald I.

UF TIAA Indonesian Communists In Trouble; Hope For Reprieve By DON HUTH JAKARTA (AP) Indone- sia's Communist party (PKI) is in effect standing on a scaffold" with a rope around its neck, but still hoping for a reprieve. A reprieve does not seem likely. However, anything is possible in the Southeast Asian country of 105,000,000, which President Sukarno has tried to run with new theories of govern- ment. The army, since the abortive Communist backed coup at- tempt of Oct. 1,-has-inducted-an elimination campaign against the PKI. The drive centrés mainly on the two most impor- tant islands, Java and Sumatra. The ailing president, 64, is using every man at his disposal to save the Communists, whom he refuses to condemn for their part in the uprising. Sukarno would like to com- mute the sentence of the Com- munists, but the army will not buy the idea. It has temporar- ily suspended the activities of the PKI and its affiliated or- ganizations, while the crack- down continues under martial law and a curfew, ot 4 S SAYS NEED COMMUNISTS Sukarno says Indonesia can- not be run pvithout Communist participation in the government. The army wants no part of the present PKI in his grand politi- cal formula It is a tug-of-war between the army and Sukarno. The presi- dent appears to be losing ground But pening Communist party boss D. N. Aidit disappeared after the coup attempt, with the reported help of the leftist air force comman- der, Vice-Marshal Omar Dhani. Aidit fled to the Jogjakarta area in. central Java, where he put out an announcement saying he was in good health A Moslem party publication, Nusa Putra, said the other day Aidit has been arrested. But that story still has not been confirmed. It appears that Aidit" --friend of Sukarno and enemy of the army--still is at large Dhani was the first high mili- tary commander to support the coup attempt publicly. But he quickly retreated when the reb- els failed. Now he has left the country, ostensibly on a mission for the government. TWO NOT ARRESTED M. H. Lukman and Nijoto. the second- and third-ranking lead- ers respectively of the PKI, have not been arrested. Both appeared at a eabinet meeting strange things are hap- palace al Bogor, 40 miles south of Jakarta, five days after the coup attempt was crushed. Lukman is deputy chairman of the parliament. Njoto is a cabinet minister and also a state minister at- tached to Koti (supreme opera- tions command), the highest policy-making body in the gov- ernment. He has been editor of the Communist newspaper Har- ian Rakjat, now banned. The army may not act against Lukman and Njoto because of their positions in the govern- ment. Some Indonésian sources also feel the two may be plac- ing the blame for what hap- pened on Aidit. The army's sweep against the Communists has been thorough. Thousands have been ar- rested, Daily searches are made for arms, believed to havg been supplied by the Chinese. The Communist-infiltrated na- tional news agency, Antara, is being swept clean of PKI sup- porters. The director of the government radio station, now run by the army, has been ar- rested. So has the chairman of the Indonesian Journalists Asso- ciation, a hotbed of communism. The army's house - cleaning may take a long time. But it is not accepting Sukarno's desire to sweep the problem under the rug YEARS AGO 1 5YEARS AGO Oct. 25, 1950 Oshawa Cedar Masonic Lodge, AF and AM, held Senior War- dens' Night with W. Gordon Bunker, District Deputy Grand Master of Ontario District being present for the occasion. C. F. Litster, the lodge's senior war- den, proposed the toast to Grand Lodge, which was responded to by Rt. Wor. Bro. Leo. A. Simp- son, Grand Senior Warden, To- ronto. J.

The two premiers have been seen together a lot. Within @ space of less than,two weeks" they were in the public eye to- gether three times. The first occasion was the Ontario-Quebec editors' semi- nar here in Toronto. Then, & few days later, they were in Ottawa with Prime Minister Pearson driving spikes into the new Macdonald-Cartier bridge. A few days after that they were laying cornerstones at the new Champlain College of Trent Uni- versity. And only a very few years ago if a premier of Ontario and a premier of Quebec had been together this often it would have made headlines. WAS HEADLINE MATTER For years when a premier of Ontario did meet with a pre- mier of Quebec -- which was about as often as snow melted into chocolate-flavored icicles-- it was 'an automatic headline. A great deal of coincidence was concerned with this recent series of meetings. It happened that these three different functions, lined up sep- arately and some time ago, happened along so closely to- gether. But the sequence served to dramatically illustrate how close Ontario and Quebec rela- tions have become. Except for the Hepburn-Du- plessis era--when the two pro- vincial premiers were waging a personal vendetta against Ot- tawa -- relations between the leaders of the two provinces have traditionally been stiff, marked by formality, not "hello" and "how are you." ATTITUDE CHANGED And under Messrs. Robarts and Lesage this has been dras- tically changed. Ever since the early days of Mr, Robarts leadership there has been a definite effort on his part to cultivate a closer rela- tionship with Quebec. And this was eagerly taken up by Mr. Lesage. Many interesting conjectures can be taken as to why this has happened and what it will mean. There are those who say that once he had the opening Mr, Lesage took the ball away from Mr. Robarts and now is using their relationship to forward his campaign to promote Quebec. There are those on the other hand pvho say that Mr. Robarts is keeping a curb on Mr. Le- sage's ambitions. Whatever the case, there has been a marked change.
