She Oshawa Cimes ¢ Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1966 -- PAGE 4 If There Are Priorities Let Them B The Speech from the Throne is an onerous one. It indicates an ex- tremely heavy work load for mem- bers of parliament and an unrelent- ing tax load for' those they repre- sent. It also serves to underline the large number of things left undone when parliamentarians took off on the election trail last year. The unsatisfactory result of that voting, as far as the major parties are concerned should have special significance as the Commons begins this new session. Canadians surely indicated they wanted their rep- resentatives to return to parliament and to get down to business, The question of where they'll start is the one most frequently . asked by critics of the government. The matter of priorities is being pressed. For Opposition members, the answer will come through the Commons order paper announcing the introduction of legislation for their consideration. For those of us who'll. foot the bills the question marks hang over medicare and edu- cation. On the former the Liberals are certainlyfirmly committed -- and strongly pressured by the New Before That Before we become deeply im- mersed in the controversial consid- erations in the House of Commons where, in the past, Prime Minister Pearson has not always been shown at his best, it is worthwhile to note the new prestige he has gained for his country. His critics have been many--and even his champions have cringed-- at the seeming ineptness in some of his actions on the national scene yet for all interested in the preser- vation of the Commonwealth he merits sincere acclaim. Mr. Pear- son's efforts at the critical confer- ence in Lagos have been widely rec- ognized as master strokes of diplo- macy. She Oshawa Sines T. L, WILSON, Publisher R. C.

' Most provinces have undertaken their own medical care schemes, thus action is being taken in this admittedly important field. The greater urgency lies in educational expansion. This need touches many facets of Canadian development for the future. It's related to the cru- cial manpower situation, the. need for greater production and also the provision of practitioners to man the medicare program. Many other matters long-delayed have, of course, been again brought before the House of Commons. To deal with them adequately in even a year-long session will require a concentration to the business of the country which has been lamentably lacking in the recent past. The realization of the responsibilities resting with them should preclude the petty politicking for position to which Canadians demonstrated such disgust last November. Battle.... At the outset of the meeting to cope with the Rhodesian problem fears were expressed that more harm than good could result to Commonwealth relations. Mr. Pear- son's temperate and constructive suggestions are credited with mod- erating the anger of the Africans and fostering their co-operation. Mr. Pearson gained valuable time for Britain to permit economic sanc- tionstto work without the pressing peril of military action. His propo- sal for a committee to review the effects of sanctions was accepted without definite reference to the -- use of force. And further, by. argu- ing that should these fail the next step should be an appeal to the United Nations under Chapter VII of the charter he provided another stopgap to the outbreak of a racial war over Rhodesia. The overthrow of the Nigerian government immediately after its capital of Lagos was the site of the conference does not detract from the worth-of the meeting; rather it points graphically to the nearness of the flash point in the affairs of African nations at all times. In turn, the importance of the Com- monwealth as a continuing centre for discussion is underlined. With the triumph Mr. Pearson achieved in the arena of interna- tional affairs (where he still seems most at home), Canadians will hope his confidence is so bolstered to bring the dynamic leadership so seriously required in parliament. gsi) MILLION IN- BUILDING University Ivory Towers Spiral Skyscraper Style By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer Short of an injection of Jack- and ~ the - beanstalk hormones, there's just.no way for the ivy to keep up with what's happen- ing on Canada's university campuses these days. The walls it used to cover at timeless leisure now are jump- ing up in skyscraper style and mushroom speed ,Mullti-million- dollar collections of academic miscellany are blooming all over the land, Keeping' abreast of the bur- geoning demand for higher edu- cation, a Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press shows, has universities involved at the moment in well over $500,000,000 worth of construction, at. one stage or another of building or planning. The individual items range between $25,000,000 and a few thousands, During 1965, at least $100,000,- 000 worth was wrapped up for delivery as the universities plunged ahead in their unpre- cedented expansion of the last few years. BUILD FROM SCRATCH Much of it went toward building new institutions from scratch, Six-year-old York Uni- versity in Toronto, for insiance, aims to. spend $100,000,000 by 1970. But much is going also to modernizing the facilities of es- tablished universities and en- larging them to accommodate the multiplying student bodies. The squeeze on accommoda- tions has taken drastic forms, Some faculty offices at the Uni- versity of New Brunswick in Fredericton have had to be moved to wartime Quonset huts while U.N.B. proceeds with a $10,000,000 building program. Largest single new project in the thinking stage is a $25,000,- 000 medical school for McMas- ter University at Hamilton, pro- jected for 1968. This is shaded only by a $26,639,000 all-purpose building for Sir George Wil- liams University in downtown Montreal, - under construction for over a year and due to be completed by next fall One of the buildings under construction will be among -the tallest on any campus. It is the 14-storey social sciences build- ing going up at a cost of $5,900,- 000 for the University of Al- berta at Edmonton, where shortage of land is rapidly mak- ing the institution a high-rise campus. In all, that university plans to lay out $40,000,000 in the next three or four years--fi- nanced mainly by the provincial YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO Jan. 20, 1951 Arthur Williams was nomin- ated as the CCF standard-bear- er if a Federal by-election is called in Ontario riding -- such election is expected soon. Wal- ter Thomson is expected to re- linquish his Federal seat to take over the Provincial leadership of the Liberal Party.

Little ns Nridy for tstan in St. John's, Nfld} for instance, will spend an estimated $50,000,- 000 in capital projects,in the next 10 years including 10 new puildings, just to handle the in- erease in student population. Enrolment is expected to double to 7,000 by 1975. Seven other buildings now are going up at an estimated $11,000,000. At Halifax, one of Dalhousie University's projects-is an $8,500,000 medical building of 15 storeys, a centennial operation with the provincial 4nd fed- eral governments contributing $2,500,000 apiece. Montreal is a hotbed of con- struction. McGill has completed $23,000,000 worth of construction in the last year and has sev- eral other projects in hand in- eluding a $10,500,000 library with a 1967 target date. Loyola has a 20-year, $25,000,000 pro- gram in progress, The University of Montreal is building a $4,000,000 sports cen- tre for 1966 and a $14,200,000 nuclear physics laboratory for 1967, while a $10,000,000 law and social science building.is in the works. A computer centre and girls' residence have been com- pleted at $1,300,000 each, and the: university also has put into operation a documentation centre in French - Canadian literature. HAS MANY PROJECTS Most Ontario campuses are bursting out with major pro- jects. The University. of Tor- onto's centennial project is a $10,000,000 research library in the humanities and social sciences, but that is only a frac- tion of what it has on the drawing board, A new college --Scarborough -- is due to be completed early this year at a cost of $9,000,000; later in the year a 14-storey, $12,300,000 physics building should be opened, and a $20,000,000 medi- cal school addition is planned for 1969 York recently opened a sec- ond campus and completed about $20,000,000 worth of build- ing during the last year. It plans to erect between 88 and 93 buildings on its major campus to accommodate 15,000 students by 1980 and to have 12 colleges--it now has two--by 1990. The 1965 completions in- clude a three-quarter-round au- ditorium in the Stratford style that will double as a lecture hall and a community theatre for the northwestern Toronto suburbs York also plans a completely bilingual college--which it says would be unique for Canada-- that would groom two-language graduates for top posts in gov- ernment and education. The tar- get is 1975, after the current ex- pansion program is complete. Queen's University is in a $30,000,000 program. Largest single item is a health-sciences cenire for the. medical faculty costing $8,500,000, for which no target date has been set yet. The University of Waterloo plans to spend $50,000,000 on buildings during the next five years. A $9,000,000 "university village"--a residential centre to house 1,200--is to be completed by 1967.

'PORTALS NARROW IN ONT.... ... RELATIVELY WIDE IN WEST Its Maze Of -Welcome Mats, Barred Doors By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writer A medical graduate from an- other part of the world faces a puzzling array of welcome mats and barred doors if he wants to hang out his shingle in Canada. Depending on where he got his diploma, the same prospec- tive genera! practitioner could be greeted with a red carpet and an automatic licence in one province but shut out in an- other. No two provinces have "the same set of standards, and, they can vary widely. Ontario has probably the nar- rowest entry portal. Nova Sco- tia and the Prairie provinces have relatively wide ones. Que- bec erects no geographical bar- riers to eventual practice, but the newcomer must first get citizenship A Cross-Canada Survey by The Canadian Press, prompted by a running controversy in On- tario over alleged discrimina- tion there against doctors from some regions, shows that only" that province and Manitoba specifically exclude medical graduates from schools in cer tain countries. However, most have special screening for some, or all, foreigners... The rules are administered by boards or colleges of physicians and surgeons set up under pro- vincial medica! legislation. In Ontario, the college has come under attack from a group of "\wales Strait. until foreign doctors admitted to hos- pitals for graduate training but not allowed to write examina- tions for general practitioners' licences. "The Ontario. college just doesn't want other doctors around--with fewer doctors, the present ones make more money," says Dr. Krishna Bai- chwal, a Bombay-trained fellow of the Royal College of Sur- geons, whose credentials would entitle him to-practise in Nova Scotia automatically. "The college keeps available a cheap labor supply,"' says Dr. Suresh Anani, from India, chief resident-in-internal- medicine at a Toronto hospital They and two other doctors, a Turk and a Japanese, have formed a committee to lobby for changes. They claim about 180 immigrant doctors, mostly As- ians,-are not allowed to set up private practice in Ontario though permitted to work in hospitals. The- Ontario Human Rights.

Ontario is considering making an exception in the case of Japan six other prov- does. not have reciprocity with the Untike inces---0 licenying tario General Medical Council of Great Britain. The ones that do are. New- foundland, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and the Prairie provinces. In all of these, any doctor trained in Britain and registered there gets a licence without question. Some extend this to. British-licensed doctors originally from other countries. Saskatchewan includes New Zealand and Ireland and cer- tain "approved" universities in South Africa and Australia. While Saskatchewan has no specific bar against other coun- tries, an authority says most In- dian graduates would not come up to examination\r e quire ments, AFRICA OUT IN 1961 Alberta gives licences to doc- tors registered in Britain who have been trained in the U.K., Australia and New Zealand, or in South Africa before that country quit the Commonwealth in 1961. It also recognizes dip- lomas of the United States Board of Medical Examiners-- the only province to do this au- tomatically In Alberta and some of the other provinces -- Ontario in- cluded--the general run of for- eign doctors must first of all pass the examination of the Ed ucational: Council for Foreign about eight years azo.

Recently, British Columbia stiffened its requirements to make it necessary for foreign- ers to write not only these ex- ams but another set in ix basic sciences corresponding to those given Canadian undergraduates in third or fourth years of med- icine. The aim is to ensure that foreign students have had com- parable 'undergraduate training. Spokesmen in several of the provinces make no bones about their view that many foreign universities notably in the emerging countries, and includ- ing India and Pakistan--do not produce graduates up to Cana dian standards. Ame CANADA'S STORY verti Retna Ng eter ane HIGH NOON HAHA A NVA rsa onset Northwest Route Found By BOB BOWMAN One of the most important reasons why France and Brit- ain paid any attention to the early development of Canada was the hope of finding a short- er route from -Europe to the Orient. At first it was hoped that the St. Lawrence River as the road to China, and that is how Lachine rapids got their name. Nearly all the early ex- plorers looked for a waterway across Canada until Samuel Hearne proved it did not exist in 1772 Great efforts were made then to try to find a northwest pas- sage through the Arctic, That is how the Sir John Franklin expedition was lost in 1845 Franklin probably found the route and left instructions under a cairn that was found 14 years after his death. In the mean- time Robert John McClure got the credit for the discovery. He was a Royal Navy captain who had, made a previous trip to the Arctic in the "Terror" one of the ships that Franklin used later on his ill-fated expedition. When McClure found -- the northwest passage he was Jook- ing for Franklin. The trip took four years. He started on Jan- uary 20, 1850 commanding a ship called the "Investiga- tor." Instead of approaching from the-east, he sailed around Cape Horn and entered from the west. He went through Prince of blocked by ice at Melville Sound, but look- ing across the ice from the Mn) mame orion vtec a TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jan, 20, 1966. .

Prime Minister Pearson would put an_end to. the par- tisan politicking 'inside the House, and restore it to its rightful role if he would an- nounce that he wilt allow the consensus to prevail. The balance of. power will rest on a razor's edge in the new House of Common, Mr. Pearson has 130 Liberal sup- porters behind him; but one of these--probably Cornwall's Lu- cien Lamoureux--will be chosen as Speaker, so his vote will not be exercised except in the event of a tie. Against that government party will be posed the opposi- tion of 134 MPs, with a paper majority of four votes. This consists of 97 Conservatives, 21 New Democrats, 9 Cxeditistes, 5 Social Creditors, 1 Treghac: 2 ent Conservative and 1 Inde- pendent. It is improbable that this mixture would ever unite to defeat the government -on any straight legisiative issue, because their broad spectrum brackets the Liberal party from right to left. But there is always the chance of accident or illness, or even the heat of the moment, leading to the government being outvoted. LET MAJORITY RULE The tradition has grown up in Ottawa that any defeat of the government in the House shall be followed by the prime min- ister asking the Governor Gen- eral to dissolve the House and call an election. This tradition is a parliamentary heresy, initi- ated by the former prime min- ister, W. L. Mackenzie King, svho used it to keep his support- ters in line--and thus he origi- nated the "performing seal"? type of MP. Constitutionally, and by long practice and even current use in the Mother of Parliaments, the will of the majority of MPs should prevail, to overrule the. government's intent without precipitating an election except in specific cases For example, of a specific motion of no confidence is voted against the government; if its legislative program as outlined in the Throne Speech is re- jected; if its economic policies as set out in the budget are voted down in total--in such cases the government should properly appeal to the peopl But on minor details, it democratically reasonable that the honest consensus of e people's prevail. HAPPENED IN PAST In the past, the majrity vote of the House has changed legis- lation without changing the gov- ernment. As recently as last year, the Labor government in Britain accepted such events. But here we suffer from the Mackenzie King heresy that any defeat must lead to an election. Prime Minister Pearson has indicated that he would stand by the decision of a "free" vote of the House on the retention or abolition of the death penalty. By free vote, he. means would take the whip off his sup- porters to permit each to vote according to his conscience; of course he hopes other party leaders would do-the same. Why should he not equally recognize the consensus of the chosen representatives of the people on other issues, and de- "tlare himself accordingly--ex- cept in those few specific cases? Such freeing of each MP to vote in accordance with his conscience and the interests of his electors, instead of perform- ing as the whip cracks, would recreate the interest and parti- cipation in legislation of all MPs. In short, it-would restore the House to its democratic glories of the past. he © BY DON 0"HEARN TORONTO--Some day, some- body may demonstrate conclus- ively whether farmers are really as bad off as so many of them claim to be But until this man comes along it would seem the finan- cial position of our farmers will be one of the continuing puzzles of our day. The Ontario Farmers Union" was at Queen's Park recently with its annual presentation to the government. It-had been taken for granted 1995 had been a pretty good year for farmers. Some areas, such as eastern Ontario, had been hard hit by drought, rain or early frost. But generally, it was believed a combination of high prices-- particularly for livestock--and good yields meant a good year, and perhaps.a record one. But the OFU said no. It said the farmer was still suffering from the "'cost-price squeeze' and reports which in- dicated 1965 had been a bumper year had been 'grossly mis- leading." Our government experts still say the year was a good one, and we really have to be up in the air. A great shortcoming in agri- culture seems to be that you can get figures to prove any- thing. The statisticians for farm or- ganizations can produce a con- vincing case on the low financial estate of farmers. But then government experts, or other more detached statisti- cians, can produce convincing cases to disprove the farm find- ings. There just doesn't seem to be any uniform, accepted formula for establishing farm incomes and costs. And without puzzlement. It isn't only in finance that we find disagreement, In other areas we find that spokesmen for farmers try so hard to make their points they run into a quick rebuttal. Thus, in its current brief, the OFU complained about growth stimulants used by livestock and poultry producers. It said it hadn't been proved these were not a health hazard. It wanted the stimulants banned until the health question could be studied. Once again, however, the ex- perts said these stimulants had been very carefully watched in the United States, and to some. .. extent in Canada, and they felt there was no cause for alarm. Europe Talks Defence Cuts LONDON (AP) --Inflation is the biggest immediate worry facing Europeans and there is this, we have representatives should - growing clamor for slashes in de fence speitding.

Britain has see 3 sbiied notice of intentionte-trim ruth- lessly her $1,000,000,000 annual overseas defence bill. France, West Germany, Italy and other major U.S, allies generally have been holding the line in defence appropriations during the last few years. Some have managed cuts. The new West German bud- get calls for military expendi- tures of $4,370,000,000 or 25.3 per cent of the total-appropri- ations compared with 28.4 per cent last year. West Germans are subject to an 18 - month military draft but none is serv- ing, abroad. France's military allocation this year is $4,490,000,000--22.1 per cent of the total budget compared with 22.6 per cent in 1965.
