Furthermore, the guaranteed in- come proposal is intended, as the report says, "essentially for the benefit of old people already re- tired" -- and who cannot therefore hope to benefit from the Canada Pension Plan, These people are now largely dependent on the old age pension of $75 a month. As the Can- ada Pension Plan becomes opera- tive, the number of people qualify- ing for'a guaranteed income would diminish, as benefits through the CPP would bring contributors above the minimum pension level. While the recommendation have merit, there's the risk too of setting up another inequity while removing one. As The Charlotte- town Guardian: notes, if a man has saved during his working years to establish an annuity of $1,250, he would have no call on the govern- ment because his income, through his own foresight, would be the minimum required. This certainly has the ring of injustice about it too. may Attention is also being drawn during Red Cross month to the uni- que service provided by the society in the administration of a chain of small rural hospitals and health centres in northern and northwes- tern areas of Ontario. During 1965, 14 outpost hospitals were being operated in Ontario with a total bed capacity of some 200. In addi- tion, four health centres are being run in the province with a public health nurse in attendance. These services are offered where no other medical centre exists. More than 5,700 patients were admitted to outpost hospitals last year. More than 5,000 homes were visited by public health nurses for the purpose of health teaching, nursing instruction and _ bedside care. These are but two examples of the scope of the work of the Red Cross whose services are available when needed hoth in the hinterland and the highly-urbahized areas of our society today, Other Editors' Views BOARD TALKED TOUGH The Board of Transport Com- missioners evidently has talked tough to the two major Canadian railways. The result is an arrange- ment whereby decent passenger service will be provided the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal busy eastern triangle. --Windsor Star LAWYER - DIPLOMAT LEAVES... Canadian Career Diplomat Holds Special UN Interest By CARL MOLLINS LONDON (CP)--Career diplo- mat George Ignatieff is excited by the prospect of returning to United Nations headquarters in New York as chiei of ine Cana- dian delegation he helped to organize as a young adviser 20 years ago. Ignatieff, 52, has been named to succeed Paul Tremblay as Canadian ambassador to. the UN--a post that friends say has attracted Ignatieff for years. He has been Canada's perma- nent representative on the NATO council in Paris since May, 1962, and before that held diplomatic offices in Washing- ton, London and--as ambassa- dor--in Yugoslavia "It should be a most interest- ing assignment," he said of the UN posting in a telephone inter- view from his Paris home. "I was the first official sent to open the Canadian mission to UN headquarters in 1946, so it has a special interest for me."' Ignatieff indicated his pleas- ure is based both on the chal- lenge to a diplomatic promotion and on sentiment. WANTS TO DO BEST "Ambassador to.the UN is a great task to be imposed on you," he said. "I want to do my best with it." The sentiment involves mem- ories of family life in New York as well as the career attach- ments established as one of the originals of the UN diplomatic corps. He and his wife Alison began their married life during his first UN assignment and their two sons, Michael and Andrew, were born in' New York Michael now is a student at University of Toronio, Andrew at Toronto's Upper Canada Col- lege Ignatieff, tall, athletic and personable, with a brisk mus- tache and receding hairline, is the youngest of three talented sons of Count Paul Ignatieff, a minister of education under the Russian czars who fled from St. Petersburg with his family after the Bolshevik revolution George remembers little of the move because he was only five when the family arrived in England. He was 14 when his parents moved to Montreal. He spent two years at Lower Can- ada College there, then moved on to Toronto and Central Tech- nical school, Jarvis collegiate and University of Toronto. WON SCHOLARSHIP Scholastic achievement com- bined with a lively interest in sports, debating and the arts won him a Rhodes scholarship in 1935. George moved into dip- lomacy from Oxford while his broifiers became educationisis. Nicholas Ignatieff was among the greatest of the wardens of Hart House at ihe University of Toronto from 1947 until his sud- den death in 1951 and another brother is professor of Russian studies at University of Western Ontario, London, George Ignatieff wrote his examinations for the Canadian external affairs department in England and wes an aide to Vincent Massey, then Canadian high commissioner in London from 1940 to 1944, and later Governor-General of Canada. It was in London that he met and courted Alison Grant, Vin- cent Massey's niece, and Ignat- ieff returned to London from Ottawa in November, 1945, to marry her. They set up their first home after Ignatieff moved to UN headquarters, where he was ad- viser to Gen, A. G. L. McNaugh- ton in the General Assembly and the Security Council for al- most four years. After serving as counsellor at the Canadian Embassy in Wash- ington for four years, Ignatieff returned to Britain to study at the Imperial Defence College, then spent a year back in Ot- tawa in 1955 as head of the de- fence liaison division of external affairs, SENT TO LONDON Two years as ambassador in Belgrade were followed by an- other year at the Canadian high commission in London, this time as deputy to then high commis- sioner George Drew He served as assistant under-secretary of State for external affairs in Ot- tawa from 1960 until his NATO appointment Ignatieff found the pace at NATO left little time for his pastimes--golf, which he hasn't played for two years; the accor- dion, which he took up in Yugo- slavia when he couldn't find a golf course, and cooking, which he likes to do when his wife will let him into the kitchen. A talent for languages and his broad exnerience in diplomacy will serve him well back at the UN. But he wants to spend all his spare time studying current UN issues between now and next summer, when he expects Charles Ritchie, now ambassa- dor in Washington, to take over at NATO headquarters in Paris. New Type Of Canadian Emerging, Says Self-Exile LONDON® (CP)--Lovat Dick- son, author, publisher and self- styled Canadian exile, sees a new type of Canadian emerging from regional and racial differ- ences--"someone distinct from the Americans and very distinct now from the British." This composite man, whom Dickson visualized after a two- month "revenant's" tour of Canada, is "someone square, reliable, solid, shy, inarticulate, someone in the last analysis very obstinate and difficult to move." And he sees a new and dis- tinctive type developing in the West--the westerner who "is going to play a decisive part in the building work, that still has to be done on the Canadian na- tion." ' Dickson's views, outlined in a two-part series published in The Times recently, are those of an eminent literary figure who has lived. here for the last 35 years, but was born in Australia and raised in Canada and still con- siders himself a Canadian. Now 63 and a director of the Mac- millan publishing firm, Dick- son's last major job in Canada was as a lecturer in English at the University of Alberta in 1927-29 With thoughts of his ancestors having settled in the rich Minas basin of Nova Scotia 200 years before, Dickson made his cross- country Canadian journey with grim concern whether Canada would be able to survive the quarrel between English and French and between regions. He concludes '"'the Canadian is there to stay." All the noises that might be taken '"'to indicate the impend- ing dissolution of Canada might instead be the sounds of a peo- ple laboring in the pangs of a nation's birth," he says. "It is a big ceuzntry, but it is a single country, conscious of itself, its place, its future." Patriotism had never. left much of an imprint on the aver- age Canadian mind--'this loyal- ties were. directed towards his province,", Dickson maintains. "It was only when Confedera- tion became anti-American that his patriotic fervor was aroused." The racial split results from "failure" by English and French elements to settle, after 100 years, how the two races can live together and come one. But equally suddenly, says Dickson, Canada _ was confronted by an- other failure--"the | failure of Britain to nourish the bond link- ing British North America to this island at the centre of the Anglo-Saxon world." ... PEACEKEEPING COST CRISIS Canada's Man At UN Convinced Of Key Role By BORIS MISKEW UNITED NATIONS (C Canadian Ambassador P P)-- aul Tremblay will leave the United Nations. later this year con- vineed more than ever that the elections aimed at reuniting North and South Viet Nam.

Current president of Interna- Co-operation vice-chairman of the assembly's committee on peacekeeping op- so did his timi, Year and Tremblay, a native of Chicou- Que., is fluent in French, English and Spanish. His father was a lawyer and a great-uncle was a judge. After graduating in law from the world organization has a great role to play in settling interna- tional disputes. External Affairs Minister Martin has announced in Ottawa that Tremblay, a 5l-year-old lawyer-liplomat, will be suc- ceeded by George Ignatieff, Canada's ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Orzaniza- tion in Paris. Tremblay's new post will be announced later. Until he leaves the UN, Trem- blay will continue to be occu- pied with efforts to bring peace to Viet Nam, as well as other international issues The Vietnamese crisis is the top subject on the UN agenda and Tremblay's working day involves numerous consultations at UN headquarters, including frequent private sessions with UN Secretary-General U Thant. Canada is showing particular interest in Viet Nam because she, together with India and Poland, 'is a member of the In ternational Control Commission set up in 1954 to supervise free gation in 1961 after serving a couple of years as ambassador in Santiago, Chile. He was named head of the Canadian delegation the following year. He settled in a Park Avenue apartment with his wife, the for- mer Gertrude Nadeau of Quebec City, and their three children-- Michele, now 21, Helene, 18, and Pierre, 14 : At the Canadian mission's headquarters on the 28th floor of a Manhattan' skyscraper, Tremblay directs a year-round staff of between 35 and 40. The influx of politicians and civil servants during the three-month assembly session brings the fig- ure to between 65 and 70, Besides 'administrative duties and his main work at the UN headquarters, Tremblay has a heavy speaking schedule and attends an average of two social functions a day His schedule was somewhat lighter when he first arrived in New York, but as the number of big acquaintances and con- Y) erations, Tremblay said that the question of peacekeeping costs still is the most massive obsta- cle in the way of. the United Nations. He faced his biggest challenge at the UN during the dispute over payment of peacekeeping costs which had paralysed the 19th session of the assembly, and during the outbreak of fight- ing in Cyprus Tremblay described the last session as a "most constructive assembly" which opened the way for renewed efforts to iron out-the issues dividing member states on the question of peace- keeping operations The war between the Greek- Cypriots and the Turkish-Cyp- riots was halted by the UN ef- fort, but an undercurrent of hostilities is ever present Canada contributed about 1,909 men to the six-nation, 5,000-member UN peacekeeping force in Cyprus, and the biggest difficulty now facing the force is lack of money to pay 'for it. University of Montreal in 1939, he went into private practice in Montreal and studied constitu- tional law at McGill. He joined the government service a year later. Tremblay's first posting abroad was in Washington, in 1943, where he served as second secretary. He was first posted to Chile in November, 1946, re- turned to Ottawa in May, .1949, and took an assignment in The Hague in 1951 In 1954 he was sent to Paris as counsellor of Canada's dele- gation io the Nerth Atlantic council and the Organization of European Economic Co-opera- tion Three years later he returned to Canada as head of the exter- nal affairs department's liaison division and served on the Can- ada-U.§. committee on joint de- fence. He was appointed ambas- sador in 1959 and posted to Chile, his last assignment befor' joining the Canadian UN mis- sion. Car; N 6N ATE FORE! ee @rrrev ene EMMERNANNaMNNNeL ANNAN CANADA'S STORY EA Day Of Riel's Downfall # By BOB BOWMAN This was the day in 1870 that led to the downfall of Louis Riel. He had Thomas _ Scott brought from prison. in Fort Garry, where he had been held in chains since January 9 when he attempted to escape, and put on trial. The court was call- ed "a council of war' and was presided over by Riel's chief aide, Ambroise Lepine, who had stopped Governor Mc- Dougall from entering Red River in November. Scott was charged with hav- ing taken up arms against the provisional government. This was a phoney charge because dozens of others had done the same thing without being put on trial. Riel acted as one of three witnessés against Scott, al- though he was also the prose- cutor, He said that Scott had struck one of the captains of the guard. Later he told fed- eral government mediator Don- ald A. Smith (Lord Strathcona) that Scott had been rough and om I abusive to the guards anid in- sulting to Riel himself. This was the rea] reason for the "trial". Scott was not allowed to. call any witnesses in his own de- fence, and was condemned to death. The next day, after standing in prayer with Meth- odist minister, Reverend Young, before a wall of Fort Garry, he was allowed to kneel in the snow. There was a coffin beside him. Then six Metis, who had been drinking, fired their rifles at him. Three of them contained blank charges so the members of the firing party did not know which of them ac- tually killed Scott. Even so, he was only wound- ed, and another Metis had to fire a bullet into his head from close range. The body was buried secretly, and its resting place has never been found. It is believed that it was sunk in the river through a hole in the ice sometime during the night. Riel paid the penalty in 1885 when he was hanged at Regina after leading the rebellion in sun Endless Vote Speculation Damaging, Wilson Claims By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff Writer By calling an election for March 31, Prime Minister Wil- son hopes his Labor forces will amass enough of a majority to settle in solidly for a full term of office. Wilson is reported to feel that virtually endless specuiation about an election does no good for domestic progress and also tends to damage international confidence in sterling. The British political situation has heen effervescent ever since 1962 when. security scandals rocked the Tory government of prime minister Harold Mac- millan. Eruption of the famed Chris- tine Keeler sex-security case in 1963 led to howls for Mac- millan's resignation. Pressures for an election grew stronger, if possible, when the 14th Earl of Home succeeded Macmillan in October of that year, becoming Sir Alec Douglas-Home. After Wilson finally ousted Douglas-Home in October, 1964, ending 13 years of Tory rule, voters hardly had time to catch their breath before election talk flew again because the socialists had received only a five-seat majority--since reduced--in the 630-member House of Commons Wilson obviously hopes to garner a comfortable majority not so much by assaulting Tory strongholds as by capturing marginal seats--there is likely to be no change in at least 530 constituencies. But 40 candi- dates, equally divided between Conservative and Labor, were elected by majorities of less than 1,000 in 1964. By equalling the 1964 Tory-to- Labor-average swing of 3% per cent, Wilson would collect a ma- jority of well over_100, By re- versing that trend, Tory leader Edward Heath would become minister with a margin of nearly 100. Perhaps attitudes to the Eu- ropean Common Market com- prise the main difference be- tween the parties on interna- tional matters. Heath, who tried unsuccessfully to negotiate Brit- ain's entry under the 'Tories, still is committed to that policy. Wilson, anxious to be known as a Commonwealth-first man, speaks only of bridge-building. But it may be significant that some of his most powerful sup- porters, including the Daily Mirror group of newspapers, want Common Market entry Johnson Stems Gold Flow And Also Hobbles Rum Runs NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (AP)--A new U.S. customs law is putting a big crimp .in the "rum runs' and other buying sprees so popular along the U.S.-Mexican border No longer can a tourist casu- ally cross into Mexico, buy a gallon of rum, tequila or brandy at $1 to $2 a quart, and drive home to fill his liquor cabinet. Some Mexican liquor mer- chants say their business has dropped 50 per cent-since the new regulations went into effect Oct. 1. A jewelry store in Nuevo Laredo reports a loss of 30 per cent in trade The new law, advocated by President Johnson to help stem the gold outflow, limits duty- free imports of liquor to one quart a person every 30 days Formerly, residents of most states could take back four duty-free quarts each month. The law also reduces from $100 wholesale value to $100 re- tail value the amount of mer- chandise a tourist may bring back every 30 days from south of the border. This amounts to a cut of about 40 per cent. "I'm not a guy who cries, says Russell Deutsch, owner of a quality specialty shop not far across the international bridge in Nuevo Laredo. "We still do business, but it hurts, I used to carry a dozen silver services because a family could take ene back with no problem. Now I've got only one." The same law. applies to Americans bringing back liquor and other purchases made in Canada, - except that. persons visiting Canada must be out of the/U.S. at least 48 hours before returning. what is now Saskatchewan, He probably would have been par- doned, as was his second-in- command Gabriel Dumont, if he had not killed Thomas Scott at Red River.

QUEEN'S PARK Important Advances Dradictad * swweaeveww a now ourany 8; Sok. OSS TORONTO--The court action taken against the Peterborough labor demonstrators is a mile- stone step that could, and prob- ably will, result in important advances in the climate of la- bor relations. The imervention by Attorney- General Wishart is probably the most significant action to be taken by government in the area of labor conduct since the Ford strike shortly after the war, (In that strike the workers jammed the streets of Windsor with hundreds of cars, and the provincial police were sent in to break up the barricades and protect the plant.) The Ford incident pretty well put an end to the use of force in strikes; or at least it re- sulted in a clear recognition by labor that it did not have a right to use force. It brought short a trend which could have resulted in violence, and from this a belief by labor that it had the right to violence. The current action should bring short another trend; that of defiance of the law, and a growing belief that there is a right to this defiance. DEEP THOUGHT Hopefully, however, its end result grill be more than instill- ing a respect for the law in la- bor, Most optimistically it could bring more maturity in labor relations generally. The reason for optimism that it might is that it should breed deep thought about the princi- ples underlying these relations. It already has caused some such thought on the part of all sides--labor, management and government--through the ques- tion of the use of injunctions which is at the root of the issue. The injunction as it stands, and is used now, is something which Jabor has good reason to question. And it is reasonable to assume that the other parties - beginning to appreciate this. And the hope enters in that you can't consider the pros and cons of injunctions, or can't consider them responsibly, with- out going beyond them to the basic rights of labor and man- agement in iabor relations. What does labor have the "right" to do? In the interest of the community should it have the right to do more than with hold its services? Does it hav the right to secondary boycotts What "right" does manage ment have? Does it have the right to replace striking work- ers and keep its business ge ing? Or does a worker have ¢ vested interest in a job? YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO March 3, 1951 T. D.
