Wilson, Publisher MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1966 -- PAGE 4 'New Step Taken Quietly ee eee we « 'LIL LQODOL- MAMAGSITLSIITL | While little enthusiasm seems 'forthcoming in the federal field to -establish 'guidelines for wages and 'prices, an encouraging step has been taken in Ontario which over the tlong run could accomplish a similar -putpose. Without fanfare a labor- "management council has been estab- lished which offers a path to greater 'understanding and less strife. The idea has been in vogue for some time in Scandinavian coun- tries. The relative serenity of labor- management relations there has been attributed to the work of such councils. They study wages, work- ing conditions, productivity and related matters and endeavor to keep them in line, In Canada, to date, the attitude of labor and management to one another has limited development of the council program. The likes and dislikes and doubts generally made the co-operation fundamental to the work of the councils impossible, As The Windsor Star states, both managements and unions in Canada are gradually showing signs of real- izing that strikes are outmoded as a method of attaining agreements. They are the most difficult course, But neither side has been able to produce workable alternatives. A council such as Ontario has established can be most valuable in' the initial stages at least by work- ing quietly. To bring its considera- tions into the open would but invite attacks by the reactionaries on both sides to its effort and objectives, The Star makes the point that if wasteful and cruel strikes are to be eliminated this can only be accomplished in a spirit of good- will and mutual trust and respect. That atmosphere must come even- tually, The sooner the start is made toward it the earilier will come the results, No 'Softening' For Him Would you believe 95? It is difficult to realize that's the age of the alert and active gentle- man who figured so prominently in the news in Oshawa last week, Nevertheless, it's an important matter of record in Oshawa and Col.

"I grew up in Oshawa and I do what I can for its welfare," Mr. Mc- Laughlin said. His efforts are ap- preciated. While expressing the hope that ample reaction facilities will be provided for youngsters, Mr. Mc- Laughlin, by example, also gave a lesson to the young people on his birthday. It was characteristic that he refused to have the sod "pre- softened" before the ceremony. He insisted on doing for himself. A small thing perhaps. But in a man that has achieved the success Mr. McLaughlin has, it's certainly worth noting by youngsters eyeing the ladder of success for the future. Other Editors' Views POSTSCRIPT Dead now for 18 years, former Free Press editor Malcolm W. Bing- ay only rarely receives the junk, bulk-rate mail which regularly flows across a newspaperman's desk. But as we reported the other day he got a letter from Ronald Reagan. Now right on the heels of that letter has come another. Who else is so far behind the times?

Press ve NNN NN OTTAWA REPORT Restraint Needed With Legislation BY PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- The wealthy uncle who brings a large box of candy seems to the kids to be more exciting than their mother who insists that they eat a healthy diet, Yet a steady diet of candy would destroy their hiealtiy and hasten death. Tn vanant vaave win aue politicians considering the long - term health of the nation, they have instead been seeking popularity by distributing candy, This is encouraged by our democratic system of universal suffrage, especially in minority govern- ment situations. Nowhere today is the disas- ter of this self-seeking attitude more apparent than in Can- ada's economy. Three years ago, Canada was rated as the country which managed its economy best among all Western nations; today the 'gnomes -- the international bankers and economists -- rate our performance as the third worst. RESTRAINT NEEDED No national economy is an island; but any nation can erect breakwaters which will modify the worldwide economic storms. In his budget speech March 29, Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp referred to such eco- nomic storms threatening Can- ada: "This is a time when all Ca- nadians should observe restraint in both wage demands and business pricing policies."' Fail- ure to do so, he warned, would slash our living standards, cause unemployment, erode the purchasing power of pensions and savings, and cause crises in our international payments, "Action should be taken now," That was the most important part of his speech. But it was not played up in the press; neither management nor labor have observed it; and even the cabinet ignored it--for no action was taken, When boom conditions over- heat a national economy, pious urgings are ineffective. Presi- dent Johnson of the United States has found that his unen- forced "guide lines' remain unobserved, Even the "pay pause," imposed in Britain by the Macmillan government upon its own employees, was not emulated in private fields; the result was that, last year, should have been | wages rose there by a stagger ing 9.8 per cent, while produc- tivity rese by less than four per cent, A national work force cannot take out of its economy more than it puts in, by way of increased productivity, without upsetting the apple-cart that is the dsilsats balsace S| MDA ve. mamia stein < lan's successor, "prime Minister Wilson, after 18 months of bums bling, has been forced to im- pose tough measures; more lenient curbs imposed earlier would have saved this, Canada's over-all wage in- crease this year may ex Britain's disastrous 9.8 per cent, Yet Prime Minister Pearson has not even. publicized any guide lines; in fact he has set an example of 30-per-cent wage increases in specific cases, FUTURE THREATENED Canada's economy is under siege. To pay what Finance Minister Sharp rightly called "our very heavy obligations in respect of interest and divi- dends payable outside Canada," we need to export goods worth $1,000,000,000 in excess of our imports each year, Yet our ris- ing prices led to our 1964 trade surplus of only half a billion dollars heing reversed to a de- ficit of one-fifth that amount in 1965. Parliament, geared to the trivial in debate and always anxious to take a holiday, has --up to this writing--failed con- spicuously to examine Canada's crisis and the cure which the doctor orders, This should be to impose a standstill for prices and incomes; perhaps unpopue lar with businessmen and wage- OVERDUE EMERGENCY MEASURE earners, but certainly popular with their wives. In this inflationary and self- ish situation of "I'm in the boat, shove off," restraints are essential, Only legislation will effect them. I find a number of MPs who are seized of the nature and scope of Canada's crisis, and several who believe that medi+ cine should be administered, This medicine, I suggest, is the creation of a National Prices and Incomes board, which would freeze prices, and in- comes of all kinds--wages, divi- dends, rents and fees, Excep- tions should be made only in cases of extreme hardship or sound justification, and later where productivity is substan- tially increased. Russians Come To Canada ~~ In Extraordinary By JOHN BEST MOSCOW (CP) -- Unprece- dented numbers of Russians are being allowed to emigrate and join relatives living in Canada. In the first half of this year, the Canadian embassy reports, 142 exit permits were issued compared with 83 during the whole of 1964. The big spurt came last year when 215 were issued. The numbers are not large in relation to immigration to Can- ada from some other countries. But observers here consider the big increase significant in the context of relations between the Soviet Union and Canada. It fits in with what appears to be a policy on the part of the Soviet government to curry fa- vor and broaden its influence in Canada, Prime Minister Pearson has gaid that solution of the prob- lem of divided families "cannot fail' to increase goodwill be- tween the two countries, Involved mainly are Ukrain- fan families one or more mem- bers of which fled the Soviét T - Numbers Union during or just after the Second World War and even- tually settled in Canada. MANY FROM BALTIC AREA Having made a new life in Canada, they sought to have relatives in the Soviet Union join them, Besides Ukrainians, large numbers of people from the Baltic states--Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia--which were ab- sorbed into the Soviet Union after the war, are involved. There is also a sprinkling of applicants from other Soviet republics. Four members of the Cana- dian embassy staff--two Cana- dians and two Russians--are employed full-time handling the flood of new Canadians. You often see the prospective emigres sitting in the embassy's waiting room waiting to be in- terviewed. Most are elderly people. Only a few younger Russians are al- lowed to emigrate, and none at all in categories subject to military call-up.

This is an "'off-year"' election, half-way through President Johnson's first four year term. All seats in the House of Rep- resentatives, one-third of the Senate and 35 State Governor- ships are at stake. It is generally agreed the Re- publicans will make some gains. The "out" party usually does in a midterm election and this year the Republicans have now- where to go except up or out of existence as a Party. They are encouraged by pub- lic opinion polls which show a drastic drop in Johnson's pop- ularity rating. At the same time Johnson, who is not running, cannot sweep Democratic can- didates into office on his coat- tails. Even beter, there is no Barry Goldwater at the head of the Republican ticket to drag down party hopefuls. So GOP bosses estimate they will pick up 30 or even 50 seats in the House and some wild op- timists say they could even shater the Democratic majority and gain control of the House, which would require a shift of 78 seats. nors. Both parties expect to win some governorships and lose others. The two big ones seem likely to change hands. Movie actor Ronald Reagan is ahead of Democratic Governor Edmund (Pat) Brown in California but Republican Governor Neilson Rockefeller of New York was reported to be shaky, even be- fore his Democratic oponent was named, A contest which holds a la- tent significance for 1968 is the Petticoat Affair in Alabama, where Governor George Wall- ace, unable to succeed himself, is running his wife's name a- gainst a Goldwater Republican, James Martin. If Lurleen makes it, husband George may leave her to mind the store long enough to make a serious try for the Presidency as a states' rights segregationist and won 43 per cent of the vote in Mari- land, 30 per cent in Indiana and 34 per cent, in Wisconsin His score showed there was a certain amount of White "'back- lash" against the Negro Civil Rights movement in 1964, There was not enough to hoist Barry Goldwater into the White House and not enough to overcome placed by riots, brick and bottle fights between northefn whites and Negroes and badly organiz- ed protests which smell of an- archy The "Black Power' slogan which is shattering and taking over the Civil ights movement, frightens all but the most lib- eral of northern whites, Fear a- mong the relatively poor whites of the north has spread to the middle-income groups who wield the power, The Democrats are now asso- ciated with "open housing" proposals which would end de facto segregation of the races by depriving home-owners of the right to sell to whom they pleased. Governor Brown in California labors under the burden of a state "Open Housing" law which was struck down by a state-wide referendum in 1964, but reinstated by court order. He must defend it, knowing how unpopular it is. Right-winger Reagan can attack it. The growing feeling that the government is doing too much for the Negroes while ignoring the majority is affecting voters in California, Massachusetts and Illinois, not just the deep south. things advocated by Barry Gold- water (and scorned by LBJ) in 1964. But the Republicans are in- extricably stuck to the right of Johson. They have decided a- gainst denouncing "Johson's War" or calling for a pull-out of troops. They can exploit the unpopu- larity of the war only by de- manding the Administration end it in a hurry -- by pouring in more men and dropping more bombs. As events have demonstrated, bombs won't do the job, and they have to play this gently. So, former Vice-President Richard Nixon, who is once more the dominant voice in the party, can only agree with Johnson's aims in Vietnam, but criticise him for not taking greater risk. Johnson can trump this one any night he chooses by bomb- ing the heart of Hanoi or a vil- lage across the Chinese Bor- der. The Republican fear is that he will play this card 10 days before the Nov. 8 election. This fear should be shared by Cana- dians, and the rest of the world. CANADA'S STORY NATURA natant nt 200 Capture Detroit By BOB BOWMAN It seems strange in this day and age that General Amherst took three armies totalling per- haps 20,000 men to capture Montreal, but sent a force of only 200 soldiers to capture De- troit. Once Montreal was in his hands, Amherst moved quickly. Major Rogers was sent on the Detroit campaign on September 12, and had no difficulty. By the end of the year the fleurs- de-lis had come down at De- troit, also Michilimachinac, and British flags took their place. This annoyed many of the In- dians who were accustomed to doing business with the French, but did not know the British. They had a capable leader in Pontiac, chief of the Ottawas, and he organized a campaign against the British that led to 2,000 people, including women and children, being killed along the frontier. The reason Detroit fell so eas- fly was that it was only a small settlement, It had been founded by Antoine de la Mothe Cadil- lac only 60 years before. He de- scribed Detroit in this way: "Seas of sweet water glide past our door. The banks are lovely meadows of deep green fringed trees. The vines are a roof em- bowering the trees" . the meadows need only the ploughshare to grow anything . the grapevine has not the strength to support the weight of its fruit, and it has not yet wept under the knife of the vine dresser. The shy stag, the timid deer, the wild turkey hens, the strutting woodcock, the quail, the partridge, all in greater numbers than in a_ private French park." TODAY IN HISTORY By THE CANADIAN PRESS Sept, 12, 1966 . The Turkish 'assauit on Vienna was finally defeated 283 years ago today--in 1683 --when German and Polish armies under King John Sobieksi of Poland raised a two-month siege. The Turks had been raiding Hungary and Austria for 150 years and had once before be- sieged the city. After this second failure they were driven steadily back east: ward, During the next 50 years the Ottoman Empire gave up Hungary, Transyl- vania, Croatia and Serbia; but there was war between Austria, Poland and Russia over who was to rule the liberated territories. 1841--A_ British fleet com- barded Baltimore, Md. 1869--The U.S. National Prohibition party was orga- nized at Chicago. First World War Fifty years ago today--in 1916 -- the French on the Somme reached the Ba- paume - Peronne road; the Greek garrison at Kavalla surrendered voluntarily to. Bulgaria; Prime Minister Zaimis of Greece resigned. Second World War Twenty-five years ago to- day--in 1941--Russians sur- rendered Chernigov, 80 miles northeast of Kiev; mass arrests were reported in Norway as the Resistance promoted disorder; the American ship Montana, un- der the Panamanian flag, was torpedoed off Iceland. It would be difficult to recog. nize Detroit from that descrip- tion today!

John Schnittker, agriculture undersecretary, said in a speech that the department now must plan as much as 30 months ahead, He forecast a return to production of as much as 30,- 000,000 acres next year for grains, soybeans and other yields. " That indicates total farm plantings of some 335,000,000 acres, compared with the all- time peak of 365,000,000 acres in the war year of 1044, The 'decisions are not being taken lightly -- or unanimously welcomed. REPUBLICANS OPPOSED With an eye on the approach- ing November congressional elections, some Republicans claim that boosting farm output will depress returns to farmers, This is tempting political talk in the traditionally sensitive farm belt where Republicans are strong. However, farm-produce prices have shown a further gain of two per cent for August to the highest level since the Korean War, which is good political ammunition for the government, On the other hand, that is hardly good news in the urban- suburban belt where most of American consumers live. One symptom of government concern about farm political support directly affects Canada and its Cheddar cheese exports here. President Johnson last spring, in a move interpreted as a brake on rising cheese and other farm - produce prices, asked the tariff commission to approve an immediate increase in the Canadian Cheddar cheese quota and consider a permanent increase. The report dealing with the permanent increase has been on his desk since June 30 but, due to opposition in dairy states to more imports from Canada, Aus- tralia and New Zealand, the president has withheld action and is expected to continue to hold off until after the elections. CRITICIZE POLICY Secretary Freeman is catch- ing criticism on both flanks 'In U.S. Tuned To High Gear over wheat policy, One school suggests he is séeking to de- press domestic prices and an- other argues that he has let reserves sink to a dangerous level, Drought in the southern U.S. winter wheat crop area is a factor, plus good commercial sales elsewhere. India has ob- tained more than 300,000,000 bushels in famine relief and drought in Morocco has taken some as well, The record carry - over of 1,411,000,000 bushels of 1961 is down to about 500,000,000 bush- ¢is and will get lower. But, say senior agriculture department officials) neither the Indian nor Moroccan famines could be forecast and they say the U.S, will meet its commercial and aid commitments without push- ing the reserves below 400,000,- 000 bushels, Today. cotton and, to some extent, tobacco, are the only re- maining large farm surpluses. Payments this year to farmers for keeping land out of produc- tion are expected to be about $3,000,000,000 and will be much less next year. COSTS DECLINE Federal costs for helping store the large farm surpluses of the past have also dwindled pro- gressively, Whether or not countries such as India, Egypt or other mass- population consumers of Ameri- can farm produce escape the added tribulations of drought in the near future, government planners here are banking on a QUEEN'S PARK This Council Convenes -- On The Quiet sh aes oemeiiea prospect in. wise untromisine ae a lahar relations.

But it was largely curiosity and since then the council has been forgotten.

And any possibility for cool discussion of today's labor prob- lems between spokesmen for labor and management is to be carefully nurtured, In those countries where la- bor relations are more ade vanced, particularly in Europe, such councils play a key role. a d LA PARAGRAFHS The portrait of Whistler's mother give some the impres- sion that she was an indolent rson addicted to tranquil+ zers, Item you may postpone worrying about: The earth is slowing down at an increasing rate, the day having become 1.6 milliseconds longer in the past two and one-half years."
