ROR PE The Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawo, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1966 -- PAGE 4 'Three Wrenching Tests Confront Liberal Party Before the year is out the Pear- gon government will have consoli- dated itself or consigned the Lib- eralal party to the wilderness in the next election. This is the view ex- pressed by Canada's top-ranking Liberal commentator, Bruce Hutch- ison, in an article in the Winnipeg Free Press in which he predicts that the ultimate test for Mr. Pear- gon and his colleagues will come with the federal-provincial meeting in June. The government, as Hutchison sees it, hasn't any time to waste in meeting "three wrenching tests, all of them interdependent, that loom like mountain peaks above the rub- ble of ordinary public business." The first has been met already ina preliminary fashion, by the govern- ment's refusal to raise old age pensions at the price of demoraliz- ing the national budget. But will the government back down later under pressure, with some suitable face-saving device'? The answer to that and many other questions will come in the second test of the April budget, which must involve not merely expenditures and taxes but the whole direction of the national economy. If these financial problems look daunting, says the Liberal pundit, they are quite simple beside the third test, the supreme problem of Quebec, And in the present year that problem must be faced as it never has been faced since the con- scription crisis of 1944, Nothing less than the federal government's sovereignty, its right to govern, will be at stake when it meets the provincial governments in June, and, for a fiscal confrontation, in the autumn, Quebec is demanding a far larger share of the nation's basic revenues than Ottawa can possibly grant and atill perform its function, Moreover, Quebec insists that any revenues transferred to it from the federal treasury for a specific purpose like education can be spent for any other purpose, at the provincial government'c pleasure, Thus the right of the national government to spend its own money for national purposes is directly challenged, If these demands were confined to Quebec they might be manage- able. But they will be pressed by other provinces, perhaps by all, in greater or less degree. If they were to succeed, the results would be dis- asterous to the nation, Ottawa's spending commitments are 80 gie gantic now that it will need every cent of revenue it can collect, quite possibly with higher tax rates, in the forthcoming budget, Mr. Pearson's attitude to Quebec, notes Hutchison, definitely hardened in recent weeks, Now con fronting the old paramount lem of all Canadian prime ministers in a new guise, he evidently realizes the risks before him the risks to his government, to his own place in history and, far more important, the risks to the nation if Quebec turns angry and intransigent, has probe Incentive For Indians The federal and Ontario govern- ments have signed an agreement which will permit provincial wel- fare and development programs to be extended to the Indians of the province. Such assistance will not intervene in any way with the fed- eral concern for the Indian bands but it will open the doors for fur- ther assistance than they have hitherto been getting. That step is a proper one and has been too long in coming, says The Sarnia Observer. Since the cost of any programs initiated will he jointly shared 'hy the two govern- ments it would seem: that our two governments are showing a greater concern for the people who live on the many reserves, he Oshawa Times WILSON, Publishe: @. ©, PRINCE, General Monager ©.

Its quiet start was high- lighted by Health Minister Allan Mack achen announcing that the Liberal government would Jaunch the national medical care plan July 1, Older bnana- dians may remember that that was promised at. the Liberal convention held 48---repeat, 48--~ years ago, On Wednesday morning John Diefenbaker and F..). Fulton informed a press conference that they had instructed their counsel to withdraw from the Munsinger inquiry, on the grounds that it was nothing but an instrument of 'political as- tawa afternoon newspaper played that as a front - page story, headlining it 'Out to get me---Dief,"' The wags remarked that the headline might apply equally to the afternoon's even more startling demelopment, which was the first attempt to bomb the House of Commons in session At, 2:50 p.m, Albert Bechard, parliamentery sec etary to State Secretary Judy LaMarsh, was announcing replies to MPs' written questions, Just behind the PressGallery end almost immediately behind and abome the Speaker's chair, there was a stir as a Jone male visitor left his seat in the public gallery not in the ladies' gallery as erroneously reported (lone males are -not admittedto that gallery). He asked a House of Commons messenger the way fo the nearest washroom,. and also asked that his seat be kept for him as "T will be back in five minute The messenger noted that he was surprisingly wearing a top-coat; that one of iis pockets bulged; and that he smelled of liquor INTERUPTED BY ROAR Three minutes later Labor Minister Jack Nicholsen, on his feet discussing a technicality re- lat ng to the Seafarers' union, was interruptec by a loud rum- bling roar. The ensuing hush was broken only by the niatter of reporters scrambling out of the Press Gallery to 'follow the fire engine Then suage gres haired Jack Nicholson calmy continued: "Mr. Speaker, I was saying,, mt None of the 200 or so MPs in the chamber realized at that time that Paul Joseph Chartier having found hi: way to the washroom, was breathing his last after the premature explo- sion of his home-made bomb intended for them, In his own words, written earlier, he had planned his bomb to'wake you up" and "exterminate as many of you as possible" on account of "the. rotten way you are run- ning the countty."'" But if the bomber had been more adept at timing his fuse, would he really have extermi- nated many MPs? His stick of dynamite made a loud hang and a b g btast, and blast does strange things as we learned in the Blitz, This blast for instance travelled two floors down the open well, through the open door of Judy LaMarsh's office, and blew out a window, It stripped the top-coat, the suit and the shoes off the bomber, ¥choino in a small marble- walled wash-room, \it made a lot of noise, But his home? made bomb, enclosed in a length of copper pipe, caused less destruction to his body than, for instance, ahand gre- nade would have caused by exploding in his hand and blast- ing him with the researched shrapnel effect of its disinte- grated stee| case, ADDRESSES ASNE The next day, while Parlia- ment Hill buzzed with' spenula- tion about tightening security, which now is non existent, Prime Minister Pearson and Mr, Diefenbaker were in.

CANADA'S STORY 'Soapy Gunned Down By BOB BOWMAN Or of the most remarkable railways on the continent is the White Pass and Yukon which runs from Skagway to White Horse over narrow gauge track. lis construction was be gun on May 27, 1898, primar ily to carry supplies for the prospectors who were taking part in the Klondike gold rush The first train was operating by July 21, although only four miles, Tracks had been laid to the summit of White Pass by February 18, 1899, and reached White Horse the following year During the gold rush, there was a law that no one could enler the Yukon. without sup- plies for one year. This pre vented starvation, bul it was necessary for every prospector to transport hundreds af pounds. The horse-drawn stages charged one dollar per pound, so many prospectors tried to carry their own supplies, They were months on the trail under terrible conditions, and many of them died, Deadhorse Gulch was named for the pack-horses that fell in The Red Line Transportation Company would only carry passengers if they signed the following: 'The pass is not transferable and must be signed in ink or blood by the under- signed person, who, thereby accepling and using it, assumes all risk of damage to person and luggage. The holder must be ready to mush behind at the crack of the driver's whip Passengers falling into the mud must first find themselves, and remove all soil from" their garments" Soapy Smith, king of the Skagway gamblers, tried to sion the building of the rail- way.

Immigration | Jurisdiction Overlapping BY DON O'HEARN TORONTO--Overlapping fur- {ed ctions in government today both between different levels of government, and within gov- ernments themselves -- among other things make it difficult to keep in mind a clear picture of the structures and machinery in our public administration. We see this in very many fields and are confused by It, Rut the case for today is immigration, The federal government, of course, has. always been con- cerned with immigration, But recently Ontario and some of the other provinces have also been in the field, 80 who does what and why? For the most part the Ontarie immigration services,, it ap- pears, are specialized. They try to dig up in the U.K. and Eu- rope skilled workers needed in certain areas in the province, ACT ON REQUEST In. fact from information given the house by Economics and Development Minister Stan- Jey Randall, the minister in charge, it would seem they act principally on request, That is, A manufacturer or other em- ployer here will get in Youch with the dehartment and tell it he needs so many tool and die makers or wood-workers And the offices abroad will try and find them and then get them cleared through the Ca- nad an immigration offices aboad It appears, however, there are short-comings in the pro. gram, and perhaps because of the mixed jurisdict ons. The im- pression is left that the efforts of the Ontario department are largely centred on providing workers for manufacturing. AREAS OVERLOOKED It would be logical for this to he so for the main contact of this dehartment's activities is with manufacturers, But this, in turn, tends to leave big areas of, important. unemployment overlooked, Thus itis sald that today we need 5,000 miners in the prov. Ince and no very aggressive stehs apparently are being taken to try and senure them, Also it has been pointed out we could use unskilled or semi- skilled workers from countries such as Portugal or South Af- rica. But there is evidently no enthusiasm on the part of the federal government to bring in these workers And if it Is pressed, of course, the federal department can point out that the province has its own organization in the field and shift any blame to it, It adds up to confusion.
