Attention is being focussed rather forcibly to the promotion of Safe Driving Week early in December. The campaign puts a special em- phasis on the need for safe driving and walking during the first seven days of December. The more im- portant object, however, is to de- velop greater safety consciousness which will help to prevent traffic accidents during the following 51 weeks. : A pertinent assessment of driving habits came from John Atkinson, general chairman of the Canadian Highway Safety Council in his last official report to that body on comp- leting his term of office. He sum- marized the traffic accident situ- ation as 'getting worse at a slower rate". The situation to date was the increase of deaths over the record of the previous year less than the increase in* miles driven; the in- crease in personal injury, although greater than the increase in deaths, was still comparative with miles driven; the total number of acci- dents was up about 10 per cent; and the economis loss to the country in the last year was almost four bil- lion dollars. "This tangible evidence", he de- clared, "only serves to increase our frustration in finding the key to a fully successful accident prevention program, i.e. a reduction in highway accidents regardless of the increase in mileage." He listed as "frustrat- ing" the driving public's lack of knowledge in proper behind-the- wheel technique and rules and regu- lations of the road; the driver's attitude that he is above average; the lack of funds to imprehent badly needed programs; the federal gov- ernment's constant refusal to in- crease its annual grant of $25,000; the lack of involvement of more top level people of government and in- dustry in accident prevention. Boom In Apartments Apartment building is not only a major influence on the living habits of an appreciable proportion of the Canadian population; in recent years it has also begun to play a dominant tole in the pattern of total residen- tial building activity. . In the mid-fifties Montreal and Toronto accounted for the bulk of dew multiple dwellings -- apart- tient and row housing -- across Ganada. Single-unit rather than mul- tiple housing was still the dominant feature of residential construction in the majority of Canadian cities. Since then, however, there has been a marked shift in housing demand towards multiple dwellings and this fas also become noticeable in the Smaller metropolitan areas. =The Bank of Nova Scotia in its current Monthly Review cites sev- @al factors which have contributed to this trend. First, the cost of land fas continued to rise as readily @yailable building space has dim- ished in relation to the demands being made on it. Second, the gen- eral prosperity of the country and in particular the rising numbers of young people which have begun to show up in the past few years have sentributed to an accelerating rate of increase in non-family house- holds.

Bay, len, availability and variety of new apartments, apartment living has become more acceptable to a wider range of home-seekers than it used to be. Whereas the longer-run trend of single and duplex house-building over the past fifteen years has been generally flat, the Review. says, there has been a strong underlying growth in apartments and row houses. Since 1960 apartment starts have shown a sustained rise, espe- cially in 1963 and 1964; this has been strong enough to carry them past the level of single detached units ; sharply from a small base since 1961. The upshot of these changes is that apartment building in recent years has been of increasing influ- ence on the pattern of residential building as a whole. With the ex- ception of the past two winters when government incentives pro- grams, chiefly directed at stimulat- ing construction of single dwellings, have had marked. effects on the pattern of house building, seasonal fluctuations in total housing con- struction have been largely deter- mined by the pattern of apartment building. row houses have also risen Other Editors' Views UNITY BROKEN Sometimes it seems. that French- Canadian students are among the most united and consistent advo- cates of an associate state status for Quebec in Confederation, or of "complete separation. i Engineering students at the Uni- versity of Montreal last week proved this isn't so.

L. Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1965 -- PAGE 4 Traffic Accident Rate 'Getting Worse Slower: Loop-Hole Pinpointed By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO -- If, as is said, bankruptcy is one of the biggest fields of criminal racketeering today, one reason may be & loop-hole in enforcement. And the loop-hole could be there because there are too many figures in the pie. The select committee on com: pany law has begun its inquiry into bankruptcy, and this is a conclusion that can be taken from its early proceedings. Bankruptcy is another of those fields in which both the federal government ahd the province get into the act, Ot- tawa makes the law, and the province has a hand in eforc- ee ing it. We have long seen how this causes trouble in other areas, notably in policing criminal law where it is continually causing confusion, and resulting in inef- ficiency. (The Rivard escape is a good example of the confusion. Though Ottawa was blamed for this it was the Quebec govern- ment which was responsible for his custody.) With bankruptcy there is a federal superintendent of bank- ruptcy which actively adminis- ters bankruptcy affairs. PROVINCE POLICY Policing of offences is a con- cern of the province. But this is a split responsibil- ity. For a charge in bank- ruptcy offence can be laid either through the federal sup- erintendent or through the prov- incial law authorities. And what this seems to mean is that not nearly as many charges are being placed as probably should be. It appears there is nobody try- ing to actively police bankrupt- cies for violation of the law. Administrative matters are entirely in the hands of the sup- erintendent. And his prime con- cern is protection of the credit- ors and of the actual bankrupt himself, (The intent of the act is to protect bankrupts as well as creditors). Any enforcement against 'ir- regularities is incidental. And Ontario authorities, not having either a close connection with the field, also police it only in- cidentally. You gather they feel this is the responsibility of the federal administration. And they act only when someone comes and asks them to -- usually when someone has. grounds for an in- formation, Quebec, of course, broke though this block and went on the offensive, actively looking for frauds. It may not have been strictly its responsibility. But it did it anyway! TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Nov. 22, 1965...

Macdonald, even after death, and may still be costing the Conservative Party votes. in Quebec. After the Red River uprising in 1869-1870 a warrant was is- sued for Riel's arrest. Sir John said publically "where is Riel? I wish I could lay my hands on him." Privately, he sent Riel money so he could live in the U.S.A. After the rebellion in Saskat- chewan in 1665, Riel was sen- tenced to be hanged at Regina on November 16. It is possible that Sir: John again made ar- rangemertts to get Riel out of the country before the sen- tence could be carried out, but an enemy of Riel's blocked the plan. In the meantime Quebec was in an uproar, and Sir John ito A cM received anonymous letters threatening him with death, if Riel were hanged. Sir John said publicly, "He shall hang though every dog in Quebec bark in his favor." On November 22, 1885, six days after Riel was hanged, there was a protest meeting in Montreal. So many people flock- ed to the scene that it was ne- cessary to use three different platforms for the speakers. Among them was a prominent young Liberal of Quebec, Wil- frid Laurier, who said that if he had lived in Saskatchewan, he would have taken up a rifle to defend his property. When the next federal election was held in February 1887 Sir John and his Conservatives won only 33 seats in Quebec, where- as they usually had won 45 to 50 there. It was the beginning of ee ee te ale a a long decline for the Conserva- tives in Quebec.

Politicians on the opposition side call it concealing the facts or misleading the public. But in -some of the politest Washington salons this week you hear the nasty word "lying"'. Some statements by offi- cials about policy in Viet Nam deserve no. kinder description, The whole basis of the escala- tion of the war there is that the Communists won't talk peace. So Lyndon Johnson has to pour in more fighting troops and face higher casualty figures until the North Vietnamese come to the conference table. On April 7, after he sent com- bat units into the field and launched daily bombing raids on North Viet Nam, Johnson an- nounced his new policy of "un- conditional discussions' with any government which could bring peace. On July 12, he told a press, conference: "I must say that candor compels me to tell you that there has not been the slightest indication that the other side is interested in nego- tiation or in unconditional dis- cussions, although the United States has made some dozen separate attempts to bring that about." Now, and only now, does the State Department admit that North Viet Nam has twice offer- ed to come to peace talks. The admission has not come with candor, It has been prod- ded out by stages in response to strong factual stories by re- spected U.S. reporters. First, CBS commentator Eric Sevareid revealed that the late Adlai Stevenson told him just before he died that United Na- tions Secretary General U-Thant arranged peace talks in Rangoon a year ago, but the State De- partment rejected them later, on February 24, U Thant stated "I have present- ed certain ideas of my own to some of the principal parties in- volved in the question of. Viet Nam. I have even presented concrele ideas and proposals." White House press secretary George Reedy said next day, "The President has received no proposal from U Thant"' Last week the State Depart ment admitted there had in fact been a peace feeler. 1965, ° That admission alone was suf- ficient to throw Washington into an uproar, Senator Richard Rus- sell, influential chairman of the Senate armed services commit- tee said he was "amazed" and intends to investigate why the peace feeler was rejected. He will not have far to look. Last fall the war was going very badly and the Saigon govern- ment might easily have col- lapsed if a peace move had been made. Also the U.S. elec- tion campaign was at its height and President Johnson was be- ing accused of softness towards Communism, Peace talks might have cost votes and to be fair, the U.S was not yet committed to seek peace, only to continue the war until the North Vietnamese agreed to leave their neighbors alone. By the following April, John- son had stepped up the war and needed to offset this by a peace appeal, which he made, Canada's Prime Minister Pearson, among others, suggest- ed he halt the bombing of North Vietnam as an_ induce- ment to the Communists to ne- goliate. * Mr. Johnson did this -- for five days in May -- and later let it be known that he did it only to please his allies, know- ing in advance that it would fail. The second surprise admis- sion of last week was that the bomb moratorium might not have failed. David Schoenbrunn, a Paris correspondent for 20 years, said the North Vietnam- ese again offered 'peace talks during the moratorium and were rejected once more. The State Department agreed there had been an offer, made through the French government, but it had not been 'uncondi- tional" and had been made a few days after the bombing was resumed. According to the U.S. spokes- man the North Vietnamese were still insisting on unacceptable "'pre-conditions' before talks could start, However, well packaged in mumbo-jumbo the State Depart- ment admissions show clearly that its past statements on Viet Nam are not to be trusted and raise doubts whether it really wants 'unconditional. discus sions" or is secretly demanding unconditional surrender, @ To Align Would Be Stupid Declares African Leader By JOSEPH MacSWEEN DAR ES SALAAM (CP)--Afri- Gans must refuse to "'choose-2 master' among the great pow- ers of East and West, says President Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania. That's what the 43-year-old mwalimu (teacher) means by non-alignment and it was his succinct reply to questtons about Chinese penetration of Tanzania. "The struggle for power is a struggle to control us," said Nyerere, punctuating his words with sharp raps on his desk. "It would be silly, it would be stu- pid, for Africa to align... ." Canada is involved, to a con- siderable degree, through its aid program, with the regime of this immensely appealing, if controversial, man of the tro- pics who finished his formal ed- ucation in the chill mists of Ed- inburgh. MUST DEVELOP NOW In an interview with a Cana- dian reporter, the words flew as the slim, young-looking pres- ident with the small moustache made these points--earnestly, passionately, sometimes humor- 'ously, sometimes angrily: --Tanzania is one of the 'poor- est countries in the world but has.the resources to develop, with assistance, if it is "left alone" to do so. --Africa must develop now, before its industrial revolu- tion; it hasn't got 100 years or more, like Canada and other Western countries had. --Tanzania is still within the Western sphere of influence despite "all the talk and ques- tions about these certain seven Chinese I have here." --Tanzania feels at ease ask- ing Canada for military aid, because Canada, although a Western country, is not "too doctrinaire."' Everyone wants African un- ity, but realis mrequires prac- tical steps. There' is no "ma- gic word," "I have about 300 Chinese here,"' said Nyerere» Then he added, laughing, "but most of them came before Mao Tse- tung--most of them are Na- tionalist Chinese." During the interview he re- ferred, with an apparent mix- ture of exasperation and amuse- ment, to "these certain seven Chinese," technicians who ar- rived tate in 1984 te train the Tanzanian army in the use of weapons received from China. Tanzania was formed in April, 1964, by the union between Tan- ganyika and Zanzibar, after that exotic island was wracked by a revolution and appeared headed toward becoming the Cuba of Africa. "The Union is coming along fine,' said Nyerere. HAS NO CHOICE Asked whether Tanzania 1s . sufficiently mature to maintain its political balance while being courted by big countries of an- tagonistic systems, the presi- dent replied: "What is the choice? "I know it's very much easier for young countries to find a patron. You pick up one big na- tion and accept that big nation as the protector -- .so aligned... . "We have chosen a different method because we feel we have absolutely no choice in a world which is automatically divided between power blocs, and the actual struggle for power is a struggle to control us. "This is the history of the world--the big powers struggle as to who is going to control the world, and they divide the world, "They say 'this is our sphere of influence'--so that we in Af- rica are still a Western sphere of influence. And so when you see seven Chinese in Tanzania you say, 'Ha!' You know our sphere of influence is being in- vaded by the Chinese. "So you get worried .. . it is ridiculous. It would be silly, it would be stupid for Africa to align--to choose a master--and so we have no choice but to be non-aligned. "But it's difficult... so it means I have British here, I have Americans here, I have Chinese here, I have Russians here, They have their own inter- ests. All of them have their own interests. We have our own Tan- zanian interests. "We are not the most sophis- ticated people in the world but we have to live in 1965. We can't go to Mars and mature there and then come back to this planet." Tanganyika Under Nyerere First To Attain Independence It was in December, 1961, that Nyerere led Tanganyika, a British - ruled United Nations trust territory and one-time German colony, to independence --the first of the British East African lands to attain self-rule. The former school teacher, son of a tribal chief, was re- garded as among the most mod- erate of African leaders. This changed at least temporarily when Nyerere sent tremors of foreboding through some. West- ern capitals by accepting Chi- nese aid, exchanging visits with Premier Chou En-lai -- and wearing Chinese suits. At the Commonwealth prime ministers' conference in London this year Nyerere was the most critical of all the leaders of Britain's policies toward white- supremacist Rhodesia and Prime Minister Harold Wilson's peace initiative on Viet Nam. "The British are my biggest accusers now," was the rueful comment of the impetuous Tan- zanian who recently remarked: "In some ways I'm more Brit- ish than Queen Victoria." Tanzania's State House, a dazzling white structure blend- ing African and Arabic archi- tecture near the shores of the Indian Ocean, is both work-place and home for Nyerere, who with his wife sets an example of sim- ple living with their seven. chil- dren. BECAME CATHOLIC The Mwalimu, which is the name he approved for himself on becoming president, occas- ionally entertains the children with a' turn on the drums, an art learned in his home village beside Lake Victoria. It is sometimes noted--in counterpoint to reports of Tan- zania's leftward movement, that Nyerere became a Roman Cath- olic at 20, Asked whether he is a religious man, Nyerere smiled: "I don't know about be- ing a religious man--well, I'm a Christian." : A high percentage of Tan- zania's population never reaches adulthood because of disease and poverty. Does this impel Nyerere to take aid from what- ever source available? "African countries, Asian countries, the majority of the peoples of the world have a very low standard of living," he said. "This is not merely, Tanzania. We do happen to be one of the poorest countries in the world but we have resources and we must develop. "The problem is not so much one of aid--certainly this is not the way I look at it myself. The problem is one of being left alone to develop and if, especi- ally in Africa, the biggest coun- tries could let us alone, we have sufficient resources in our coun tries, "We can develop. Unfortun- ately we haven't the time that countries like the United States and Canada had. They had the time in this sense, that you be- gan industrialization, the Euro- pean countries, the North Amer- ican countries, began industrial- ization before there was very much of a social conscience, ... "We don't complain if we are not given aid but we complain a great deal when aid is used either to influence us or when people tell us where to get aid or where not to take aid." SOUGHT MILITARY AID Canadian assistance covers @ broad field and includes teach- ers and experts, but training of Tanzania's military forces has perhaps attracted most interna- tional attention.' Nyerere was asked whether this kind of help enhances the Canadian "image'"' or whether increased medical aid, for instance, might be more appropriate. "We asked for military aid from Canada," the president re- plied. "Your country ... is one of the few Western countries, with the Scandinavian countries, which is not, and for very good reasons, regarded as too com- mitted, not too doctrinaire. ..." On African unity--the concept of a sort of United States of Africa -- Nyerere indicated he disagrees with Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, who wants unity steps now. "I think the sentiment of unity is genuine and it would be ab- surd to minimize the genuine- ness of the feeling," he said. But Africans were also aware of divisive forces, particularly tribalism, which endangered un- ity. This explained the refusal of several countries to adopt the multi-party state and instead rely on the one-party system, as Tanzania does.
