The Oshawa Zimes Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher DATURVAT, AUGUDI 40, 1700 -- FAUE 4 East-West Rift Threat To Liberal Party Future Whatever else may develop as a result of the widely-publicized con- ference of Western Liberals, it has assured considerable interest and controversy for the national meet- ing of the political party in October. In prospect is a confrontation be- _ tween Western Liberals and those who support the economic doctrine of Walter Gordon, the former fi- nance minister, or the version of his doctrine championed by Finance Minister Sharp. The establishment of North America as a free-trade area, given solid support at Saskatoon, will encounter resistance as the parent organization meets. In particular fields, for instance the automotive industry, limited free trade agree- ments may be practical and feas- ible -- although there remain nag- ging doubts about the net benefit It Should Be Persons who grossly misuse tele- phones to insult, shock and frighten others have for too long preyed upon the unsuspecting with immun- ity. Through a recent development, the Bell Telephone Company has put into use a device through which such culprits can be apprehended. Several such nuisance callers have, in fact, been caught. Now, it seems another change must be made. The Windsor Star comments that unless court action is stronger, the perpetrators of such terror by phone will not worry too much about be- ing apprehended.

At issue as far as the Liberal Party is concerned could well be its national status. In most major par- ty policies there has emerged wide east - west disagreement. As he meets with President Johnson this weekend, Mr. Pearson might seek some pointers on LBJ's practice of "reasoning together" in search of solutions for major political prob- lems. Come October, the Liberal leader will be facing a whopper. Costly Too "A $75 fine for such a crime can only be classed as ridiculous. Yet this was the so-called penalty im- posed by a Toronto magistrate on a man trapped by a new Bell Tele- phone device while making such a call." Discussing the same _ incident The Hamilton Spectator says: "The fine seems too little either to teach the man a lesson or to deter others. "Tt is distressing, annoying, bor- ing, tedious, offensive, one or some of these, to the person who answers the telephone and hears four-letter words or lewd suggestions. "A man who has reached the age of 30 and is making obscene phone calls as was the Willowdale man--needs a sharp reminder and, at today's prices, $75 is not sharp enough." It is important that those who practise such perversity know that they can be caught and that their crime can prove costly.

Today's question is couched in lighter vein but the answers are dead serious: "There used to be a humorous saying that what this country needs is a good five-cent cigar. But quite serious- ly, what do you think this country needs most?" "New leadership . . . younger men in government... more dedicated men in politics . . . more stable governe ment," say 32 per cent of the people. Other needs mentioned by Canada's adults include: "Higher wages . . cost of living... velopment of industry .. . family life... more grants to educaticn... more religion and discipline in more employment . . ing between management and labor . . price controls or a decrease in the more de- . better understand- . a reduction of strikes' and finally, "a need for national unity."

He reports on his talks with students at Pek- ing University and what he learned of their thinking. Written for The AP Ry PER KRONVALL The first evening I spent at Peking 'University I came into a political discussion with my new Chinese acquaintances. I didn't know how freely I could express myself, fearing I might destroy the little friendship be- tween us. So I sat quietly and listened and became amazed at how ill-informed they were on many things--on some things completely wrong. When they noticed how quiet I was, they began more and more to quote (Communist leader) Mao Tse-tung's works until the "discussion" came to a standstill when one of the stu- dents asked me about my coun- try. So I started to talk about Sweden -- how the country looked, what kind of food we ate and so on. Students all over the world are curious and Chinese students are no exception. Then -- the question I was waiting 'or: "But the Swedish workers, aren't they very poor?' He said it more as a fact than a question. So I began to de- scribe a working family I knew back home. The family had a house of its own, a' summer house, a car, a small sailboat and so on. They all eyed me suspiciously. "Tf he is so rich that he has a car and everything, how many servants does he have?" one of them asked. "He does not have any serv- ant,"' I replied. "Who does all the cleaning and the cooking?" the same man asked. I explained to them about dishwashers, washing machines and other modern conveniences. I explained how a deepfreezer worked--one takes out a frozen bread loaf, lets it defrost and then it is fresh. They all burst out laughing. I asked them whether they believed me or not "No, of course not,"' one of them said politely, "but we have ice-boxes in China, too!" DISCUSS SPORT The conversation then switched to other subjects such as a table tennis tournament between Sweden and China. I had heard that the Chinese were the world's champions be- cause the players study Mao Tse-tung's works thoroughly. So I asked whether I could become a world champion if I studied sufficiently. They would not promise that I would become a world champion but said I would be very good. Next day I accompanied two male students to the Revolution- ary Museum in Peking. The first thing that greeted us was a gigantic picture of (Commu- nist party) Chairman Mao. They both began to talk very enthusi- astically about him. We walked around and looked at different objects portraying how bad it was before the Communist take- over in 1949. Said the students: "Thanks to Mao Tse-tung, we don't have that any more!" In the exit hall there was an exhibition of political drawings. In addition to the usual anti- American drawings, the car- toons were mostly against the Christian churches. Outside we walked through Peking's "Red Square" and my friends showed me the place where Mao stands during May Day parades. I asked whether Mao was still in power, and they both seemed surprised. "Of course, hé is; who else would it be?" they replied. Later, on a bus back to the university, we passed a Roman Catholic church. I asked whether it still was open. One said it was but that no one ever went there. "If you went there would you be criticized by other students during political meetings?" I asked. "Yes, of course. If anyone goes to the church he is so mixed up that other people must help him." PERMANENT COMMISSIONS Escape Difficult From Seaway Precedent This is a_ selection of editorials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Montreal Matin--In _per- mitting a 30-per-cent salary increase for employees of the St. Lawrence Seaway in June the Pearson governmtnt avoided a politically costly strike. The government had just gone through a work stoppage of more than a month by the longshoremen in St. Lawrence River posts. . . . The federal cabinet thought itself capable of reassuring the seaway au- thority, a Crown company, and to inform it that it was ready to pay ... any salary increase the state enterprise said it was incapable of satis- fying from its own funds. Ecoomically, the arrange. ment appeared harmless since the negotiating unit (1,300 em- ployees) was restricted and the effect of the collective agreement on the country's inflationary tendency would be negligible. Politically government into a trap howeyer, the had just fallen and offered to employers and employees a contract pattern whose psy- chological effect is currently sing itself felt. The non- ing employees of Cana- dian National Railways have, for example, invoked the sea- arrangement to justify r request for a salary in- crease of more than 30 per cent The danger of son formula' is that it is serving as a model for all union requests and that em- ployers are becoming its pris- oners. The latter will then be the "Pear- tempted to increase their prices and their profits in a corresponding ratio to main- tain what they regard as an equitable return for their in- vestments. ...

No doubt this is an excel- lent intention of the prime minister and, probably, of the whole cabinet. The public good and the national econ- omy dictate that the effects of such a strike be limited as much as possible. . But why wait? Why does a strike have to break out? Why must railway transport be paralysed before action is taken? If, by enact- ing legislation, our members of Parliament can put an end _to a strike, why can they not in the same way prevent the Strike? Let this not be regarded as a proposal tending to take away the right to strike from employees of the railways. It is only a question of: inviting Parliament to meet before the strike to prevent it rather than after its start in order to end it. once and for all on the prob- lem of transportation, several of the troubles which spring from it would have been pre- vented, including the com- plaints of the railway compa- nies' personnel. .. .

The Greek army general staff announced the capture of Kiafa, last stronghold of Communist led guerrilla forces in the Grammos Mountains, 18 years ago to- day--in 1948--in a_ signifi- cant military event of the bitter civil war which di- vided the country for al- most three years. Full - scale guerrilla war had been resumed early in 1947 by Communist forces op- posed to the royalist gov- ernment which had gained power the year before. By the end of 1947, the rebels controlled large areas of Greece, and Commu nist leader Markos Vafiades pro- claimed a provisional gov- ernment in the northern mountains. Following an- nouncement of the Truman Doctrine in March, 1947, massive U.S. material and financial support for the royalists turned the tide; and the Greek Communist broadcasting station an- nounced the end of open hostilities Oct. 16, 1949. 1950 -- The British Labor party proposed a long-term world plan for mutual aid to succeed the Marshall Plan. 1959--Typhoon Iris killed 720 in Fukien province, China.

Saskatche- wan University was founded at Saskatoon on August 20, 1908. Battleford was the capital of the Northwest Territories until March, 1883, when it was de- cided to change to Regina be- cause the CPR transcontinental would pass through there. In those days Regina was just a camping ground for buffalo hunters and was known as "Pile 0' Bones" because of the carcasses piled there. It: was important to find a better name for the new capi- tal, and most of the settlers wanted to call it Victoria after the queen. However, that name had already been chosen for the capital of British Columbia so another had to be found. The problem was solved by Prin- cess Louise, wife of Governor- General the Marquis of Lorne. She suggested the Latin word 'Regina' meaning "Queen," and it was adopted. Regina, and most of the prairies, made great progress in spite of bad advance publicity. As late as 1865 Sir John A. Macdonald said that the area was of "no present value to Canada." Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, told a special com- mittee of the British House of Commons that the area had no value except for furs. A spe- cial expedition under Captain John Palliser studied the praries 'for two years and re- ported that a large area of COUT MU EL A southern Saskatchewan and Alberta was unfit for settlers. Fortunately there were ex- perts who disagreed with the Palliser findings. They includ- ed Dr. Macoun, Dominion bot- anist, and Dr. A. Y. Hind, of the University of Toronto. They marked out eleven million acres which would make first class land for farming.

The simple fact is that in East Africa the black man sees the East Indian gent--more than the white man--as the competitor these days. This ap- plies to Tanzania and Uganda as well as Kenya. The Asian is more often a direct com- petitor of the African in work and business. Want a taxi in cosmopolitan Nairobi? Call an Asian. Want a dinner that's a treat? Drop into an' Asian restaurant. Now there is anxiety among more than 500 Britons and sev- eral thousand Asians who have taken out Kenya citizenship. Two Asians have been de- ported. CONSIDERED A THREAT Many fear that they run the risk of becoming stateless per- sons. The two stateless men were among six who were said to be a threat to the national security. This is potentially a situation of vast significancé in East Af- rica, where African zealots look forward to the day when the country has an African rather than an Indian tone. Population of Asians, a term that mainly includes Indians and Pakistanis, in Kenya, Tan- zania and Uganda is estimated at nearly 400,000. They hold a powerful grip on the retail trade in the East African area of 25,000,000 population. The 'number compares with a total European or white popula- tion of only about 80,000--and the whites do not generally com- pete with the Africans, in small stores and artisan trades, on the same basis as the Asians. The result is that, with yes- teryear's political conflict over white rule put aside, racial fric- tion today is far more sharp between the Asian and African than between white and African. PLAYS POLITICS President Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya enjoys an unrivalled rep- utation as a statesman among African leaders but as between Asians and Europeans he is sometimes accused of making a politician's choice.
