Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1966 -- PAGE 4 'Wilson Visit To Keep Dialogue Current The chances are infinitesimal of Prime Minister Wilson achieving a major breakthrough to solving any of the world's problems during his current visit to Moscow. Yet he must be accorded top marks for ef- fort. Since gaining his tenuous hold on British leadership he has dem- onstrated dogged determination to win his spurs also in international politics. There's little likelihood of him reaching firm decisions or agree- ments this trip on matter of im- mediate consequence such as peace in Viet Nam. Premier Kosygin next month faces the 23rd Congress of the Soviet Communist Party with his country's dispute with the Chi- nese high on the agenda. He cannot be expected to commit himself to any accommodation over Viet Nam in advance of such a 'conference. Peking has already accused Russia of betraying. the Communist cause in this area. Furthermore, Wilson is expected to be involved in an' election cam- paign at home in a matter of weeks. The Russians would hardly consider entering any agreement with a par- ty leader about to contest an elec- tion, Of what value then can be the British prime minister's visit to Moscow at this time? The journey can provide an' opportunity to keep alive the faltering dialogue be- tween East-and West. And, as the Assosiated Press has pointed out, Mr. Wilson will also be at work on the project to which he has been long dedicated he'll undoubted- ly be pressing the Russians hard to join the West in a treaty banning any further spread-of nuclear wea- pons. A hard line can be expected to be taken by the Russians under the circumstances to any overtures Mr. Wilson may make, This is not necessarily a reason for pessimism. The fact that he is in Moscow, talk- ing to the Russian leaders, has im- mense importance in keeping ave- nues of communication readily available. What Of Water Policy? Canada doesn't really know how much water it has now, how much it will need for the future or even who owns the water Ottawa or the provinces. But we'd better find out soon, says Blair Fraser in the current is- sue of Maclean's Magazine, because there's a water crisis coming on the North American continent, There are already parts of the United States where an absolute shortage of water is imminent and where the need within a very short time will be acute. Some Canadians share the pre- dominate American view that wa- ter is a "continental resource" and envision vast irrigation and hydro- She Osharwn Times T. L. WILSON, Publisher R C.

Some of these same Canadians, says Fraser, also regard water as a marketable natural resource like timber or uranium. If the Ameri- ens want to buy our water, these people argue, then we should sell it to them -- if the price is right. But there is still another section of public opinion in Canada that holds that Canada's water supply is a priceless economic asset -- literal- ly priceless -- because nothing else could possibly be worth as much to us as our water. And no govern- ment in its right mind would give (or sell) this advantage away. Fraser's conclusion: It's high time Canada decided on a water policy and began to put it into ef- fect. It is much easier to protect water being used than water being "wasted." Other Editors' Views THE PANES IN SPAIN Our embassy staff at Madrid saw a throng of 10,000 angry Spaniards marching toward it--and then saw it march right on by. It was the Italian embassy, farther along, which had its window smashed, The staff's experience probably unique in the annals of United States diplomacy, and the inevitable et-down feeling afterwards have made it difficult to through to quitting time. --(Detroit Free Press) was must get daaaas UUs Anke abe } 4 WVUulucu wv ¥ Mf Lcanwlave Wu LGAste Construction On Schedule By MICHAEL BLAIR MONTREAL (CP) -- Confi- dence is overflowing at Expo 67--confidence that the big ex- hibition will be fully completed befsre opening Gay, Api 20, 1967. The atmosphere permeates the temporary quarters of the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition high in downtown Montreal's Place Ville Marie, where most of the executives can see Expo con- struction five miles away by just looking out the window. "That bridge was finished three months ahead of schedule using the critical path method of construction,"' said one exec- utive as he pointed to the $10,- 500,000 Concordia Bridge linking MacKay Pier to Ile Ste. Helene, both of which along with Ile Notre Dame form the 986-acre site, Behind their enthusiasm lie the computers that are guiding the course of everything and everyone at Expo. The computers talk and Expo jumps. "They enable us to keep track of everything, and when they talk we take action," said An- drew Kniewasser, Expo general manager. The computers' major job is to make sure all construction schedules filed with the exhibi- tion are possible, and if they are that contractors adhere to them. DELAYS AVOIDED "All participants must file a critical path plan to make sure we know how long construction will take, and when regular con- struction reports are filed the computer makes sure ; every- , thing is on time. 'When it's not, we find out why and remedy the situation before it gets out of hand." Through constant checks and cross-checks, said Mr. Kniewas- ser in an interview, all con- struction is on time and the $425,000,000 worth of building will be underway by spring. The target for completion of all major pavilions and facili- ties is January, 1967, a full three months before the exhibi- tion opens. Despite. rapidly approaching deadlines, countries, companies end-municipal governments are still announcing their participa- tion. Tenders are currently out for Montreal's proposed $11, 000,000 tower. project, which will offer about the same at- tractions as the scrapped Mont- real - Paris tower. It will be 1,066 feet high--or 325 metres, to celebrate the 325th anfiver- sary of Montreal's founding. Will it be completed on time? Yes, says the computer which has digested the details. OLD KECORD TOPPED Recently Brazil and Kenya announced th eir participation to boost the total number of na- tions at Expo to 70, far exceed- ing the old record of 45 which participated in the 1958 world's fair at Brussels. Their governments cover a wide range of ideologies, all of which will intermingle at Expo. They include the Soviet Union, Urited States, Korea, Haiti, Is- rael, United Arab Republic, Britain, Ireland, Ethiopia, India and Australia--representing ev- ery continent and area of the globe. Expo will also represent the two Canadian .cultures--French and English--with all 10 prov- inces pa pating. Ontario will ~ spend $5,000,000 to tell its story and the Quebec government an estimated $4,000,000. To date, more than 700 Cana- dian companies have announced they will participate, many of them with joint pavilions repre- senting certain areas of indus- ty. The most recently announced major pavilion by a private company is an aquarium to be built by the City of Montreal and financed by the Aluminum Company of Canada' at a cost of $2,600 Computers agreed with hu- mans--all the fish can be in by opening day. Liberals Hold Their Own In Contest With Stalinists MOSCOW (AP)--The trial of two Soviet writers was only one sign of the situation on the So- viet literary scene. Other signs point in different directions. The path is sticky but not Sta- linist Apprehension in Soviet intel- lectual circles over the mean- ing of the trial of Andrei Siny- avsky and Yuli Daniel showed that this is a time for Russian writers and artists to be care- ful. But the struggle that has been going on for years between lib- erals and Stanlinists:on the cul- tural front continues despite the stiff sentences--seven and five years--given the two writers. There are indications that the liberals are holding their own. One such indication is the ris- ing circulation of the youth ma- gazine Yunost, despite criticism from Communist party bosses of its sometimes irreverent atti- tude Under Joseph Stalin, all "'lit- erature' published here had to follow the approved line of "so- cialist realism." The heroes had to be truly heroic characters working unstintingly for com- munism Intellectuals whose artistic creations offended Stalin some- times disappeared Now it is possible for writers to get into print with characters who show the more troubled, un- happy side of Soviet life Sinyavsky and Daniel, publish- ing abroad under the names Abram Tertz and Nikolai Arz- hak, pushed this much farther than anything that has been published here. Their works questioned the very nature of Soviet society. Between their extreme and the Stalinist stuffiness of Soviet culture, considerable room for manoeuvre exists. It permits realistic, and not always flattering, depictions of many aspects of life in this 49th year of bolshevism. Skirmishing over this limited freedom of expression goes on in-the Soviet press. Izvestia, the government newspaper, and Literary Ga- zette, the paper of the writers' union, have taken the hard line that only sweetness and light should be shown. The most in- fluential paper, the party organ Pravda, has supported limited realism. The struggle was highlighted three years ago by a personal of Nikita Khrush- chev, then premier. He tempor- arily put the lid on freedom of expression, especially in litera- ture and painting Some of the people attacked then, such as poet Yevgeny Yev tushenko, have made a partial peace with the cultural lords who rule from the secre tariat of the Communist party's central committee over ... By Jack Gearin Oshawa Back On Rail Map, Thanks To CPR It never rains but it pours. Six weeks ago Oshawa had no direct rail link, whatsoever, with Ottawa. Rail commuters had to go to Toronto or Peterborough via CPR, and that's not all. One of the CPR's two daily Ottawa- bound trains from Toronto pass- ed right through Oshawa with- out stopping Well, all of that changed drastically better. Today there are no jess than three trains daily out of here via CNR for the Capital Cit; cept Saturday when there are only two. The same service pre- vails eesthbound with tt Ottawa-Toronto trains stopping here, if there are any passengers to unload. We even have sleeper service now This doesn't make Oshawa look so much like a whistle-stop on the trans-Siberian. railway, but there is still one disturbing question What are we going to do about that antiquated CNR sta- tion, the one built soon after the U.S. Civil War has been and for the eXx- ree The shortage of low-rent and public housing units in Oshawa is still "'grim", (to quote City Welfare Administrator Herb Chesebrough) but there hopeful signs on the horizon One is the announcement that are construction has almost - been completed on the 18-unit annex for Christine Crescent low-rent project (the one approved some two years ago) and that occu- should be completed by mid-March. Another is the news that the Ontario Housing Corporation has gone into high gear on a local basis, at long last. It is current- ly investigating possible sites for 35 family and 30 senior citizen public housing units under the Land Assembly Plan. Chairman- Councillor Alice Reardon of Council's Housing committee said the City had an option on land for the L-A Plan and that a committee-OHC meeting was imminent. The Oshawa Housing Co. Lid. is also seeking a site for a 40-unit apartment building for senior citizens (married and single) to reduce its large wait- ing list These are all progressive moves at the official level de- signed to ease a disturbing situ- ation, but much remains-to be done. 'Too many families are living in sub-standard houses. > is a drastic shortage of for families with more than two children (the most un- acceptable group from the land viewpoint). Mr. Chese- brough ran across one case this week that stressed the need for implementation of such proposals as the Land Assembly Plan -- 14 people, including 10 pancy pan lord quick children, were diving under the roof of one sub-standard house All Shared the same bathroom, which did not have a tub. Sev eral months ago he found a de- serted mother and 11 children sharing one room Low-rent or public housing is designed primarily for the low- third of the income bracket. Christine Crescent rents range from $47.50 to $119 monthly, in- cluding $10.50 for heat The Oshawa Housing Author- ity, administrator of the com- plex, cannot evict tennats mere- ly because they are in the high- er income brackets -- further- more, it would be reluctant to do so. The bulk of these famii- ies have two or more children. There would be few places for them to go. Rents are based on income and increase as the pay cheques go up; but incoming tenants may not have a monthly income of more than $380, although ther is a move afoot to have the On tario Housing Corporation up- grade this ceiling. It cuts off many. who need low-rent hous- ing, but earn" slightly more than the ceiling. Conditions are more tranquil today than they were six months ago in Oshawa's canine world. There is far less rancour, back-biting (no pun intended) than was the case when the con- troversial bylaw 3418 amend- ment Was wthouieed last Neg loner Remember i that iin Oshawa dog ownes should allow his canine to rin al large lime, which wa a declaration of There are alill plaints about dogs running at large, but they are decrensing! drastically, and the crisis ia over, according {6 a man whe should know Alderman Hayward Murdoeh is eloser to the City's aneine problems than anyone é@lxe, with the exception of the two dog catchers. As chairman of the City Property committees which administers the dog pound, he gets the brunt of the complaints He has had no threatening phone calls in recent months, There is also some clear indi cation that dog owners are learning to live with the new re. Striction, however distasteful, City Clerk Roy Barand says that they are flocking to City Hall in record numbers for dog tags. There still is a long way to go inasmuch as the Citv's, total can- ine population tsps the 5,000 mark, but more than 900 tags have been picked up thus far, as compared with 2,900 in 1965, At the present rate, the 1965 figz- ure will be 'greatly surpassed", said Mr. Barrand, which clearly indicates that the bylaw amend- ment is being accepted. wid any fantainaual to War for nan many eon gett E v4 NIELSEN'S SANKRUPTS ¥ RYESTIONS ZK ax it hagt Last get en and bigge*--- Se a SNOWBALL WEATHER ON PARLIAMENT HILL an yma nytt CANADA'S STORY 'War Hawks' Denied By BOB BOWMAN Although the U.S.A. did not declare war on Britain until June, 1812, Upper and Lower Canada were getting ready early in the year. Both _parlia- ments opened sessions in Febru- ary, and on. the 22nd Lower Canada voted 2000 pounds for the defence of the province, and 3000 more in case of war. Pro- vision was made for the enrol- ment and regulation of militia. Upper Canada took similar steps about the same time, ex- cept that troops could be, raised by volunteering or by ballot. The U.S.A, did not win the War of 1812 because its objec- tive was to capture Canada, and in this it did not succeed. Con- gress was sharply divided about declaring war, but the faction known as the "War Hawks" finally prevailed. They expect- ed to have an easy time. There were six million white people and two million negro slaves in the U.S.A., while the population of Canada was. only 500,000, half of them French. The Americans thought they would be welcomed if they marched into Canada as "'liber- ators" from the tyranny of Brit- in. Former president Jefferson said there would be no need of fighting, but only a "joyous march to Quebec.' From there the plan was to sweep into the Maritimes, and close the St. Lawrence to the British fleet.

The strong swing to Wilson's Labor government shown in a recent Hull Nérth byelection was no freak, although it may have indicated a greater trend than elsewhere in the country. Wilson, who now has a major- ity of only three in the 630-mem- ber House of Commons, would likely be returned with a com- fortable majority if he called a March general election.

It also shows... that Mr. Wilson has been playing the' right political tune "The constant bustle, the stream of new policies, even if some of them will not bear close inspection, may be creating a climate of action which appeals to this deep-seated yearning for change." Wilson also was credited with catching on to what appears to be an underlying disgruntlement with party politics, indicated by more than 40 per cent of those interviewed--a majority of the women--demanding a coalition government "Mr. Wilson has neatly lifted himself out of this league,"' says the magazine. "His television perforinances . .. have helped to build up the image of a na- tional leader. This could be one reason why he is drawing more support from women. .. ."

Fire Drawn | By Tax Hike ae ee es atk MS UE FARRER TORONTO,.-- The lead « off speeches in the budget debate usually do' more to bring out solid criticism of the govern- ment than any other proceeding in the house, This year, with the govern- ment having brought down tax increases, it was more open to attack than usual. And it got it. Last year, his first as Liberal leader, Andrew Thompson gave a much better speech in the budget debate than he did in the Throne speech debate. This year it was the same, After a lack - lustre Throne speech debate effort his budget address was quite good. He questioned the need for tax increases at this time-- a doubt which was widely | shared--and hit at the lack of foresight by Conservative gov- ernment in their 20 years io power. SOAK POOR? NDP critic Kenneth Bryden was probably not as curt as he has been in the past. Mr. Bryden, one of the keener minds in the house, has already given notice he will be retiring at the next election. And though still one of the hardest - working members in the assembly, he seems to have lost some of the desire of for- mer years, However he also criticized the need for the tax increases. Mr. Thompson's charge of lack of foresight, if properly de- veloped, probably could. be the most telling line of attack that could be used against the gov- ernment, NOTED 1951 REPORT The Liberal leader said a health survey report in 1951 pointed out the coming need for doctors and other medical per- sonnel, And yet, only in the last year has the machinery been started to develop the facilities to train the men to fill the need. The same weakness can be pointed out in other areas of government, ' It has been known certain needs would exist in the future, But only at the last minute, have steps been taken to meet them. Not too much fault perhaps can be laid at the feet of the present government for this. The principal responsibility rests with the Frost administra- tion, which exercised extreme caution in its spending. Heavier Fire By Viet Cong By COLIN GIBSON SAIGON (Reuters) -- Viet Cong forces in Viet Nam have begun to use much heavier weapons than previously -- in- cluding 120 millimetre mortars with a range of more than three miles. This is a mile more than any other heavy weapon in~ their regular armory. It may well lead to some hasty rethinking of U.S. strategy for the defence of large bases. The mortars, biggest yet em: ployed by the Viet Cong In the can hurl a 35-pound shell yards. They were used recently in bombardments of two American military instal lations in northern provinces. Hitherto, the South Vietnam: ese and Americans had to face nothing larger than 81 and 82 millimetre mortars and 75mm. recoilless rifles with a range of under two miles. RANGE INCREASES As a result, commanders worked on the principle that a security belt of up to three miles would protect a base from a mortar attack. But no base in Viet Nam at present has a defence perim- eter deep enough to prevent bombardment by the 120mm. mortar, Weighing a quarter of a ton, the new mortar can be broken down into three pieces for transport with four men. carry- ing each one Intelligence reports say sev- eral North Vietnamese anti- aircraft battalions have infil- trated into the South during the last few months armed with .50- calibre machine-guns capable of bringing down an. aircraft flying at more than 3,000 feet. war up to 6,238 DON'T Served Daily 11:30 - Che KRih Room NOW OPEN SUNDAY 4 TO 7:30 P.M.
