he Ostyaroe Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Bombs For Viet Nam Create Controversies A Washington dispatch states that the U.S. has acquired 18,000 bombs from allies so far this year for use in Southeast Asia. It is not officially stated that these arma- ments are going to Viet Nam to boost what are described as bomb inventories now near minimum ley- els, but that is the general belief, It points up, dramatically, the fact that this is indeed a real war in which our American neighbors are engaged taxing even their enor- mous productive capacity. Secretary of Defence McNamara recently met disturbing reports of bomb and other shortages overseas with an emphatic denial. But the New York Times finds his state- ment unconvincing. Almost 250,000 U.S. troops and 100,000 tons of sup- plies, it notes, have been sent to Viet Nam from all parts of the world. There has been "draw-down," as the services call it, on military supply inventories throughout the world. Virtually all ready combat units have been committed to Viet Nam or other foreign stations; the strategic reserves of the country have been reduced to training ca- dres. In a military sense the U.S. has been skating on thin ice for some time, and the danger is not ended, In the past few weeks the evi- dence of strain has become pro- nounced. Seven hundred and fifty- pound bombs, sold as "surplus" some years ago to a German com- mercial traveller, have been repur- chased by the government at more than ten times their sale price for use in Viet Nam. More than 33,000 officers, experienced non-coms and specialists are being transferred from Germany to Viet Nam or to units being trained in the U.S. They will be replaced by 18,000 green pri- vates. Aircraft sorties in South Viet Nam have been materially re- duced in recent weeks because of local shortages of bombs, matching fuses, tail fins and other ordnance, There are undeniable scarcities, ac- tual or impending--maintains The Times--for many military items, including trained military man- power. It is true, it concedes, that no war ever has been fought with- out some shortages; but Mr. Mc- Namara does himself no credit by denying the obvious. Greater can- dor, it suggests, would provide greater assurance to the nation that the men who are doing the fighting and dying in 'Viet Nam get all the support they need. Grounds For Divorce Although it took New York State 179 years to get around to broaden- ing its grounds for divorce through a new law passed at Albany this week, there is encouragement for Canadian advocates of similar or broader changes in the fact of its final enactment. As in Canada, the only ground for divorce there has been adultery. Under the new law, to become fully operative on Sept. 1, 1967, addition- al grounds will include cruel and in- human treatment, abandonment for two years, imprisonment for three consecutive years, living apart for two years, after first obtaining a court separation decree or entering into a routine (written) separation agreement, and extension of the The Oshawa Times &.

The significant thing, The Wel- land Tribune says, about the new law in New York State is that its passage, after extensive debate and considerable disagreement on _ its provision, almost unanimous. In the state's Senate there was just one dissenting vote, while the vote division in the Assembly was 152 to 7. It was a Sweep of such propor- tions that it amounted to an ack- nowledgment that the old organized opposition both to divorce itself and to divorce reform either has dwin- dled into ineffectiveness or has ceased attempting to function as a restrictive force. : In large part, of course, this old opposition came from Roman Cath- olicism. It is improbable that any such sweeping change as has been adopted would have been possible in New York if it had not been precid- ed by a very large change in the cli- mate of opinion within that church, When this part of the background is entered into the reckoning the basis can be seen for the statement this week -by Senator Roebuck that growing demand may bring about a broadening of Canadian di- vorce laws this year. As chairman of the joint Senate-Commons com- was mittee studying proposed changes he is ina position to gauge the weight of public demand. And ac- tion this year still could put Canada ahead of New York State, where changes approved do not become operative for more than a year. Dt Lt Te KINGSTON WANTS GREATER TRADE... MAJORITY IN U.S. OPPOSE BOMBING NORTH VIET CITIES By THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE of PUBLIC OPINION (World Copyright Reserved) About six Americans in every 10 are opposed to bomb- ing big cities in North Vietnam, A majority of 61 per cent, however, would favor having the U.S. step up its bombing to include industrial plants and factories in that country. One of the basic issues of the Vietnam war; and the subject of considerable controversy in Washington, is whe- ther the U.S. should step up its bombing or continue the present policy of bombing only miilitary-related targets, stich as bridges, railroads, power stations and the like, The present U.S. policy is supported by a large majority of the American public, but many would favor increasing the targets to include North Vietnam factories. ' These two questions were asked in a current survey: "Would you favor or oppose bombing industrial plants and factories in North Vietnam?" Favor 61 per cent; 13 percent. "Would you favor or oppose North Vietnam?" Favor, 28 per cent; 12 per cent. OTTAWA REPORT Oppose, 26 per cent; Oppose, 60 per cent; No opnion, bombing big cities in No opnion, Circus On Hill Had Five Rings By PAT NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- Parliament's cir- cus had five days, and each day had five rings: the Commons, the Munsinger inquiry, the Landreville inquiry, the broad- casting committee and the con- traceplives committee. Among switched -.on back- bench MPs, membership of the new committee on broadcasting, films and assistahce to the arts is the siatué symbol, This dis- proportionate focus on the cul- ture council is an eloquent com- mentary on Parliament Hill's political judgment. Two of Quebec's three new Liberal wise men are members: Gerard Pelletier, who is chair- man, and Pierre Elliot Trudeau, professor and _ parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Pearson. The four Tory bom- bardiers-with-brains are on it: Eldon Woolliams, Gordon Fair- weather, Heath Macquarrie and Erik Nielsen. The Liberal ex- minister of culture, Maurice Lamontagne, is of course on it; but so is the Liberal high priest of no-nonsense, Ralph Cowan. Socialist newspaperman Barry Mather is a member, so is the socialist MP who was lawyer to Hal Banks, David Lewis. Sask- atoon's forging - ahead rookie MP, Dr. Lewis Brand, is a member, as is the Creditiste shrill-voiced lawyer Gilles Greg» oire. In fact the 25-man commit- tee is top-heavy with the hill's headliners and brains. SEVEN DAYS CRISIS This new committee began its work at the height of the long- incubated CBC row. Despite its brains, it fell flat on its face. It began to enquire into the dis- missal of some CBC producers --not, as it should have done with a_ significantly different emphasis, whether or not, when their present bilaterally-agreed contracts expire, they should be offered new contracts. Jude LaMarsh, as the minis- ter answering for the CBC, let it be known loud and clear that she would. like the committee to talk about any other subject un- der the sun, during the few days when the management of the CBC was holding its regular meeting with its board of direc- tors. After that meeting, she hoped, the committee would in- vite CBC management to ap- pear before it; and then those MPs representing the financial supporters of the CBC--you and me--might, if they thought it desirable, give the employees a hearing. But one Liberal proposed, and another seconded, a motion that the employees should be given the rostrum at once. Ralph Cowan, showing his usual sound sense and Liberal loyalties, in- dicated that management. still has some rights, especially svat iE RN when it is spending the taxpay- ers' money, and urged that the employees be not heard before management. "What century do you think you are living in?" Lewis demanded. DESERT PARTY 4 vote was called and at least three Liberals voted against their minister's wishes. The motion carried and the ros- trum was at once given to the producers. Gradually the widespread but shallow emotion about Seven Days subsided. The tide of pub- lic opinion, indicated by letters reaching MPs, turned. The pow- erful drive to 'Save Seven Days"--how much was it in- ternally inspired?--ran out of steam; sympathy swung to management; and_ sentiment supported the soundly - based bandwagon of the average Ca- nadian who wants to 'save our children'? from the horrors and vices exhibited on the controversial program. weekly But in front of the committee, the producers went on and on and on, talking about them- selves and their creative ability and the frustration of the bosses giving them orders. Long after outside observers had deplored the puerile exhibition the pow- erful committee was making of itself, its MP members at last began to ask what they had done to deserve that tedium. Even Lewis had had enough. MPs on and off the committee wondered why $18,000 - a - year statesmen were involved in an internal hiring-and-firing row, POINTED PARAGRAPHS Probably 'the majority of people don't plan their lives, but just make them up as they go along.

However, acting prime min- ister Donald Sangster adds, his country already is "closer to Canada than it has ever been." His remark is underlined by the multitude of signs and shingles here advertising the active presence of Canadian banks, insurance companies, factories and retail firms Altogether, the Canadian commercial investment in Jamaica has been estimated at about $250,000,000. There are big bauxite mines and processing . plants here, too, which inyolve an invest- ment of $120,000,000 by a sub- sidiary of Aluminum Co. of Canada, This is the largest of the Canadian enterprises. There is at least one Cana- dian - owned hotel in tourist- teeming Jamaica, and a large slice of land on the beach- day-to-day. lined north coast is earmarked for tourist development by Canadian interests. ARE OLD FRIENDS "Canada and Jamaica are old friends," Sangster said in an interview in the office of Prime Minister Sir Alexander Bustamante, who has desig- nated him acting government head during a long illness of the 82-year-old chief. 'We have sought not only to continue developing these rc- lationships dating from before our independence in 1962 but to. move closer to Canada as a fellow - member of the Com- monwealth." What did maica want ada? "Buy more sugar, was the reply. "Trade with more us, Make soft loans." Leaders of other West In- dian countries have said the question of emigration from their nations to Canada is one needing discussion and actiun. "We are not having too many difficulties though .we would want more emigratiog to Canada," Sangster said. developing Ja- most from Can- 'This wan especially the case with casual or agricultural workers, factory labor and domestics, Sangster was asked whether his country is contemplating joining the recently-concluded free-trade agreement among British Guiana, Barbados and Antigua, "Not at the moment," he said. "We produce the same things as the others prodtice." However, the feeling seems general that in gradual fash- ion this country and others of the Caribbean will move into some form of economic co- operation. In Canadian trade, Ja- maica's chief export is alu- mina, processed bauxite ore from which aluminum is made. Alcan Jamaica Ltd. has bauxite mines and processing plants on the island. The alu- mina exports to Canada are worth about $30,000,000 a year, compared to $16,000,000 for sugar. All| Jamaican exports to Canada total around $50,000,- 000 while Canada sells an av- erage of $30,000,000 in fish and { " varjous manufactured prod- ucts. The imports from Can- ada dipped last year because of Jamaica's burgeoning sec- ondary industry and attend- ant import restrictions. Another factor was the long time taken in 1965 for Jamai- can and Newfoundland . bar- gainers to agree on a price for fish. "The fish. people in New- foundland wanted to increase their price," said an official of the Jamaica trade depart- ment. "Those Newfoundland- ers are pretty strong people. It takes time to slug out an agreement with them." At the moment, Kingston officials are eagerly awaiting top-level talks scheduled for this summer between Cana- dian and. West Indian repre- sentatives. The official said a current complication that will have to be cleared up involves trans-shipment of West Indian goods bound for Canada. "To get the Canadian pref- erence on our goods, they have to be shipped directly to Canada or through a West In- dian port."

Another great man was also inspired, Thomas Douglas, fifth Earl of Selkirk, Scotland. In those days Scottish landowners were get- ting rid of their tenants so they would have more property for raising sheep. Selkirk took pity on them, and also many people in Ireland who were having much of the same experience. He decided to get land in Can- ada and try to settle them there. His first experiments were in Prince Edward Island and Up- per Canada, in 1803 and 1804. They did not work out well, although the descendants of those people are still there. The Upper Canada settlers arrived at Baldoon, 'near present-day Chatham, on May 4, 1804. Most of them came from the Isle of Mull. For some reason they found it difrtcult to raise crops although Baldoon now is one of the most nrosperous corn-grow- {ng areas in Canada. It was then that. Selkirk, in- spired by Mackenzie's book, de- cided to develop a colony at Red River, present site of the city of Winnipeg. In order to get the land he bought a controlling in- terest in the Hudson's Bay Com- pany. He was granted an area bigger than the United Kingdom for 10 ings, about $2.50!

A bomb was thrown and seven policemen killed 80 years ago today--in 1886--in Chicago, when city officials attempted to break up a strikers' meeting.

It was a long way from Brit- ain to Red River via the Hud- son's Bay route. The first ship- loads of settlers reached York Factory in September, 1811, spent the winter there, and finally arrived at Red River on August 30, 1812. It had taken them a year to arrive. That was only the beginning ° of the trouble. The rival North West Company resented the land being developed for agri- culture. It would spoil its fur raising capability. The rivalry between the Northwesters and Selkirk's settlers developed into civil war, with the Northwesters having the upper hand. They destroyed the settlements sev- eral times, and Selkirk then re- taliated by raiding the North West Company post at Fort Wil- liam. He took some of its direc- tors prisoner, including Simon Fraser. The North West Company had greater influence in Canadian courts than Selkirk did and the result was that Selkirk was fined two thousand pounds for his raid on Fort William. Eventually the Selkirk settlers were able to get established at Red River, but the effort cost Lord Selkirk his life and much of his fortune.

Canada currently has 17 "technical assistance" ex- perts in Jamaica while 60 Jamaicans are in Canada studying everything from tel- evision techniques to restau- rant management. The projects come under Canada's external aid pro- gram, run by the external affairs department. Technical assistance is fur- nished by the grants part of the program, 'This also in- cludes the Jamaicans study- ing in Canada. Of the Canadian experts here, six are teachers at the new campus of the University of the West Indies near King- ston and another 10 are either teaching at lower - level schools or are training local teachers. The other is an ad- viser with the Jamaica edu- cation department. LEARNING TO TEACH Some of the 60 Jamaicans sent to Canada are enrolled in universities with the pur- pose of eventually returning home to teach, Others are taking courses in dadio-television and hotel restaurant management at Toronto's Ryerson Polytech- nical Institute. External Aid also has ar- ranged for courses to be given some of the Jamaicans in public administration, un- ion management and co-oper- atives. There's training for future forest rangers, too, and in food research. Equipment for schools, fish- eries development and water- supply projects also is com- ing here from Canada under the grants scheme. The loan program began for Jamaica in 1964-65, when $2,500,000 was allocated. The figure is about the same for 1045.48. Under the 1964-65 program, projects financed with loans included a bridge along the main road running through Jamaica's southeastern sec- tion and a new sewer system for a Kingston low-to-middle- income housing development. The development--Harbor- v--is one of a number of projects aimed at overcoming the capital city's most visible problem -- slums. Though Kingston has its glittering Suburbia, many _ thousands still live in what by North American standards are shacks. Vigorous But: | Mellowing .
