She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario ming ty Wilson, Publisher FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Conservaiives Ai Odds [Again] Over Leader The latest campaign to remove Progressive Conservative Leader John Diefenbaker was to be expect- ed. In recent years such a move has become almost an annual party ritual. In 1968, it was precipitated by a cabinet upheaval. The next year, the party dissidents attempt- ed to depose him at a convention. In 1965, the bid to remove him was made by members of the National Executive Committee. Yet, like the great Northern Sas- katchewan River that flows through his Prince Albert riding, the dough- ty political leader just keeps rolling along. He's reported to have view- ed the latest attack on his leader- ence". His plans apparently are to lead his party in yet another feder- al election, as Sir John A. did when he was as old or older than Mr. Diefenbaker is today. Leadership is undoubtedly a mat- ter of grave concern for both major political parties -- it certainly is for the country as a whole. The Liberals, while confused and lack- Ing direction in many matters, would seem to have formulated a program for replacing Mr. Pearson, probably at their convention next year (if not sooner). The prime minister is resigned, seemingly almost anxious to step down. This aggravates the Conservative diffi- culty for the Liberals will be in a position to field a new leader in am- ple time for the next election. Another difficulty they face 'is the fact that in the days before Diefenbaker the Conservatives dwelt long in'the wilderness of Op- position. It was the national wave of Diefenbaker popularity that swept the party to power. When they talk of Mr. Diefenbaker now damaging their party they tend'to overlook the history-making elec- tion success he won for them. They can be sure, however, that he hasn't. The appeal he is likely to recog- nize will have to transcend Conser- vative politics, it is the good of his country that is actually at stake. His party requires a younger leader capable of ushering in a new era of politics and parliamentary perfor- mance. Mr. Diefenbaker's role now is that of elder statesman of his party and country, an _irascible one though he will be. Incalculable Damage If the special committee of the Ontario Legislature inquiring into the administration of justice had been permitted to continue its work there might have been many wor- thy recommendations, The Sudbury Star notes. The committee was es- tablished during the Frost admin- istration and "died" with a provin- cial election. One of the matters that. might interest such a committee wouid be the case of a Kingston school prin- cipal charged with indecent assault. He was convicted, won a retrial on appeal 'to the Ontario Supreme She Osharvwn Times T. L, WILSON, Publisher EC. PRINCE, General Manager C, J.

Does the responsibility lie with lower courts? Were charges laid on the basis of inadequate. evi- dence? Was questionable. évidence admitted in a court? In other words, are lower courts qualified to deal with serious charges that can permanently damage a person's reputation ? The Ontario government may never re-establish a committee to investigate the administration of justice, or give it the same wide powers that were being exercised by the "deceased" committee to probe the depths of justice as ad- ministered in Ontario. More is the pity that men like the Kingston school principal will continue to.be exposed to the process of accusa- tion, conviction and acquittal on ap- peal. For, as The Star aptly comments, innocence can never be re-establish- ed in the pure form in which it ex- isted before the charge was laid. IML ASAT; SAT QUEBEC EDITORS COMMENT OTTAWA REPORT MacEachen Touted f ty Match Martin By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--The would-be suc- score ta Prime Minister Pear- sen as leader of the Liberal party. are. off and running iasi. The No, 1. preference . con tinues to be 63-year-old Paul Martin, a. middle-of-the-road, Canada-for - Canadians human- itarian of Irish and French an- cestry. The dean of the House of Commons, he has been suc- cessfully active in politics--in Parliament and in the cabinet-- longer than anyone around. Experienced, smooth. but tough, he is: just what the Lib- erals now desperately need--if I may borrow some Pearson slogans--to. put the party back _onto the rails, get the govern- ment moving again, restore Liberal unity, and even explore every avenue. A 'point some- times heard against him is the unfounded suspicion that, once in, he might overstay his wel- come; but those who think that, don't know his wife Nell. She would not let 'Father' grow old in harness, even in Can- ada's most important harness. Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp, 55, is at present rated as Mr. Martin's closest chal- lenger. This ex-senior civil serv- ant ran for cover into big busi- ness during the Diefenbaker years; he is rightist, able and ambitious, but a continentalist. He unfortunately handicaps himself by his oratorical mix- ture of the arrogance of the 1950s Liberal government ("Who's to stop us?") and the smugness of his fellow Man- darins who managed that ar- rogant government. Behind him. comes 56-year- old Bob Winters, a Bluenose turned Bay Street boy, and so a rightist. A big man with a big smile; a sort of Liberal George Hees without the Hees political sex-appeal. Although he re- jected earlier calls to return to politics, in the 1962. and 1963 elections, he is the choice of some powerful Liberal bagmen. Walter Gordon, 60, leftish, a king-maker in his party, is so pro-Canadiay that he is termed anti-American. He would be a candidate in the absence of an- other standard-bearer for his well-known views. Then, with an age gap that rises above the quarter-century, there are the- eager gee-whiz kids. Youngest. is 37-year-old John Turner, the baby of the cabinet, bilingual, well bank- rolied, good-looking (he hit the headlines when he danced with Pr ss Margeret, hefore. his marriage to a glamorous Wine nipeg girl). He offers a Canadian, hence pore i mee sf aia image" "Paul Theodore Hellyer, 43, rightish, was built up by. the public relations technique of his handler Bill Lee; but his stock is being pulled down by Paul Theodore's* pursuit of integrar tion-without-legislation, and his attendant superciliousness to- wards Parliament. His rivals quip that his sup- porters recently held a mass meeting in a Toronto airport taxi. He, like Sharp, Winters and Gordon, represents a Hog- town constituency. CREAM OF CROP Then we come to the Liber- als' "best buy" after Paul Mar- tin: 45 - year - old Allan Mac- Eachen, leftish, bachelor, Cath- olic, an intellectual powerhouse who. prefers creative thinking to routine administration. He is second only to Paul Martin in this group, in experi- ence in Parliament, in cabinet and as backroom-boy to his party leader. A "best procur- able'? from Nova Scotia, and that is tops In a showdown for the lead- ership narrowéd to Martin, Sharp and Winters -- as could happen--this younger genera- tion would throw its support behind. Martin; his age would open up the leadership for grabs again in the early 1970s, by which time they would all be more prepared, The interesting gap in this starting lineup 'isthe lack of a French Canadian name. French-Canada has no Liberal leader today, despite its im- mense predominance in_ the Liberal caucus (58 French-Ca- nadians out of 128 MPs). But newcomer Jean Marchand may well grow to fill this position. Guy Favreau was given the top rung, but failed to occupy it; Maurice Sauve made a play for it, and lost. The road be- hind is littered with casualties; the road ahead wiil probably count more, including Justice Minister Cardin--the man who launched: a thousand headlines (about Gerda) One of the earlier casualties, Maurice Lamontagne, seems to be back, lurking in the shadows at Walter Gordon's right hand. He could emerge to play a sig- nificant role. Anyhow, what are those two up to? This is the question Sharp and others anxi- ously ask: could they be prepar- ing the crown for Allan Mac- Fachen? Mao's Actress Wife Enters Political Limelight HONG KONG (Reuters) -- Chiang Ching, actress - wife of China's 72 . year « old Commu- nist party chief Mao Tse-tung, is emerging as the first out- standing woman in public life since Madame Sun Yat-sen, the revered widow of the founder of the Chinese republic, now 76. Mme, Mao is in her 40s. Until recently, she kept out of the po- litical limelight. But now that Mao is seeking to secure the perpetuation of his doctrines by purging his critics and reorgan- izing the power apparatus, she has become a figure of impor- tance. As first deputy leader of the new cultural revolution group, she opened a rally of a half- million people in Mao's pres- ence recently in Peking. An observer who saw her there said. "she has remained a matronly type." Mme Sun Yat - sen, now known in China as Soong Ching- ling, is still a vice-chairman of the People's Republic but has done little public work in the last few years except writing occasional articles for the press. She suffers from rheumatism. Mme. Mao represents a youn- ger generation of revolutionar- jes. Little fs known in China and still less in the outside world of her life story, but it is a ro- mantic one,starting in hardship and obscurity, with clandestine love meetings in the caves of Yenan and a dramatic rise to power. She was born Li Ching-yun (Azure Cloud), of lower-middle- class parents in Shantung prov- ince and was described as a lively, intelligent girl, full of fun.. The family fell on hard times. The daughter went to work 48 af aciressii-Shanghei, " an mmm A WARNING 'AGAINST' POSSIBLE Bombings May Attract. Attention, But.. This is a selection of edi- torials on current topics, translated from the French- language press of Canada. Montreal Le Devoir--Eight young men soon will have to answer for the death in La- Grenade shoe factory of an employee killed by a home- made bomb last May 5... . As far as we are concerned, Tecourse to physical violence and to bombs to overthrow an established order can only be justified when the established order is equivalent to a form of oppression, when all other means of escaping it have been explored or have been recognized as being ineffec- tive, and when a large propor- tion of the population is sol- idly behind the uprising In the case we are consid- ering, we do not believe that any of the three conditions exist. First of all what sort of op- pression are we suffering as a nation? To touch but on a few sectors, some say that we (in Quebec) are unable to obtain prominent positions in large industries. That is true. But, perhaps to a 'lesser de- gree, it is also true of our English - language compatri- ots, not only in Quebec, but in the country as a whole. This is a question of capital in- vestment, which independence will not automatically solve. In any case, this is a field in which, thanks to the interven- tion of the government which we control, some progress is it being made. : Of what sort of tribulations are we the victims? We are poor, poorer than the citizens of other provinces where Eng- lish-speaking people are in the it majority. This can be ex- plained in part by unjust treatment received from the central government. However, this poverty would be consid- ered riches in many other countries. We hasten to admit, how- ever, that people can think differently. The proof can be found in the fact that we have sepafatists among us. If they were prevented from spreading their doctrine or from enlisting recruits, re- course to force might be justified. But the fact is that they are not hindered. Proof of this can be found in the fact that two separatist parties which contested the last general provincial elec- tion were in no way molested because they preached a radi- cal change in our system of government The press in general per- mitted the leaders of the Separatist movements to make themselves heard. So the sep- aratists cannot claim that vio- lence is the only way to as the ion, attract their movement, .. . The fact is that the present case does not involve a war, involves solely at drawing attention of the remainder of the country and of the world to our prob- lem, It is possible to warn the world in this way, but to warn much against against those we wish to erate."

Gnes AFTER HE RETIRES -- NEWS ITEM Te «OUR FOREIGN POLicy "NO -- I THINK I'VE bu ENOUGH secaest CANADA'S STORY Trade Union Birthday By BOB BOWMAN Although the founding of the labor movement is celebrated on the first Monday in Sep- tember, the birthday of trades unions in Canada was Septem- ber 23, 18738. Delegates from Toronto, Hamilton, and Ottawa met in Toronto and formed the Canadian Labor Union The first trades union in Canada was formed by printers in Quebec City in 1827. While it tried to regulate wages, it was more of a mutual benefit so- ciety, for looking after the dis- abled. It also provided social and. recreationai opportunities for its members. Trades unions had a difficult time until 1871 when Britain adopted a "Magna Charta of Trades Unionism."'. Until . then courts had held .that labor unions were "in restraint of trade." After the passing of the British act, the movement spread quickly in Canada and the U.S.A, although difficult sit- under the stage-name of Lan Ping (Blue Apple.) The 1930s were a time of revolutionary ferment and she was drawn to politics, appar- ently joining the Chinese Com- munist party in 1938 under the name of ChiangChing (River Green) by. which she now is knewn : She went with a Communist film group that followed Mao to the guerilla base at Yenan after the historic long march of the revolutionary army, and there fell in love with the party chairman WIFE EXECUTED Mao was at that time mar- ried to Ho Tze-cheng, his third wife. He had first had a tradi- tional arranged marriage to an 18 - year - old peasant girl but never lived with her His..second wife, Yang Kai- hui, daughter of his"schoe! teacher, was executed by the Nationalists in 1930. Mao and the actress kept se- cret trysts in the midst of the guerrilla war, and were mar- ried in 1939 after Mao and Ho had parted. Old Project Scheduled ANNAPOLIS ROYAL, NS.

The reproduction will be as authentic as possible, with one major difference. The little mill will house a modern, $2,500,000 hydro-electric power plant. When company officials first conceived the idea for their project, they had nothing to work with but the knowledge that Poutrincourt's mill had ex- isted Descriptions of the old. mill were scarce, being found mainly in the writings of Marc Lescarbot, the French lawyer, historian and playwright: who chronicled much of Acadia's early history. However, planners dis- covered in Diderot's 1763 ency- clopedia plans of a mill built in the baroque architectural style between 1550 and 1750 and reconstruction proceeded from that point. git uations arose, In 1872 printers in Toronto went on strike for 17 weeks de- manding a _ nine-hour day. Twenty-four of them were put in jail, but public indignation forced them to be released, Sir John A. Macdonald then intro- duced an act repealing such harsh measures, and it. was passed by parliament. This led to the forming of the Canadian Labor Union, rep- resenting 14 unions in Toronto and five in both Hamilton and Ottawa. Its members were assessed five cents every three months!

The friendship, fallings out, intrigues and alliances of the two from then until they died within six months of each other in the mid - 1960s, are docu- mented in Churchill and Beav- erbrook by Kenneth Young, just published. The book is Beaverbrook arciives-to the author has access, and in- cludes many letters between the two and notes and letters by Beaverbrook about Churchill. Neither man made close friends easily and the intimacy did not really develop until the First World War, when Aitken stood by Churchill when political fortune turned against him. By that time the young Cana- dian had already established himself as a_ political king- maker, helping another Cana- dian, Andrew Bonar Law, to the leadership of the Conserva- tive party.

It was during that war that Beaverbrook became a peer and found his calling as publisher of the mass ~ circulation Daily Express. But the friendship soon cooled. Beaverbrook opposed the inter- vention in the Russian civil war and Churchill's willingness to go to war with Turkey in 1921. Soon the press lord was urg- ing Prime Minister David Lloyd George to manoeuvre Churchill into the political wilderness, and later Beaverbrook helped break. up the coalition govern- ment -- a development which cost Churchill his seat in Par- liament They patched things up and fell out again off and on during the next 20 years Some of the fallings out were just political and the two re- mained friends But in one ex- Change~ ini 1925---Churchill- said their relationship was like that of a wolf and a lamb -- with Beaverbrook the wolf who "made repeated and extremely spiteful attacks upon the lamb, and has avowedly compassed his destruction." Beaverbrook's: reply ended frostily: "Do not bother to an- swer this letter." During the general strike of 1926 they had a quarrel of which Beaverbrook wrote: "If any other living man had used such outrageous language to me as he did on that occas- ion, I should never have for- given him. Churchill on the top of the wave has in him the stuff of which tyrants are made." By 1932 Beaverbrook -- like most of Britain -- had turned against Churchill and thought him "utterly unreliable" al- though they found themselves on the same side in the crisis over the abdication of King.

MIND WANDERS This is an expression, one sus- pects, that came to Mr. Thomp- son on one of those dark-of-night occasions when the mind is in- clined to wander in free flight and produce fanciful gems of expression and thought which in the self-centred privacy of four walls and a tightly-closed door can seem to be pretty hot stuff.

Arnold, then in com- mand of West Point, had planned to surrender the fort to the British. As fort commander, he was notified of Andre's capture and so managed to escape to the British side. He later led an expedition against the American rebels and en- gaged in business in Saint John, N.B., for four years. 1578--Sir Humphrey Gif- bert began his first voyage to America: , 1806 -- Lewis and Clark completed their expedition to the northwest United States.
