She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. £., Oshawa, Ontatio T. L. Wilson, Publisher THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Johnson Trip Manila Attracts Much Attention Is President Johnson's ~ to Manila at the tt of clec- tion campaigning in the United Btates a political dodge te help his party's hard - pressed candidates, or is it a serious attempt to bring peace in Viet Nam without thought for any effect the move might have on the elections, asks The Guelph Mercury? Some opposition leaders are crying foul. It is, they say, a dramatic attempt to turn voters' thoughts from the failures of the Johnson administration and to im- press them with the president's deep concern with international af- fairs. Certainly the Manila conference will detract from the elections and steal a great deal of front page gpace in newspapers across the country. If the Johnson manoeuvre ean be called a political trick, then former President Eisenhower's 1952 életcion campaign promise to "fore- go the diversions of politics and con- eentrate on ending the Korean war" was a trick of the same na- ture The truth of the matter probably lies somewhere in between in both cases, says The Mercury. President planned Risenhower was elected and he did make good his promise to go to Korea. He was accused later of de- magoguery by President Truman, but the Korean visit helped Presi- dent Eisenhower set the course for future Korean policy. That his promise to make the trip during the election campaign helped get him elected goes without saying. Perhaps Mr. Johnson is only play- ing the political game and certainly little in the way of progress toward peace appears likely from a meet- ing with six allies already commit- ted to support of American policy in Viet Nam. But leaders of the six tations, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, the Philippines, Thai- land and South Viet Nam, are op- timistic and eager for the meeting. It could help President Johnson, as the Korea trip did President Kisen- hower, in setting further policy. Close observers in Washington have for some time predicted a dramatic move on the part of the administration this month, either toward a peaceful settlement or a vast stepping up of the war effort "t@ get the thing over." What the course will be may hinge on the out- eome of the Manila conference, Need For Education The world of tomorrow will re- quire educated people; people whose minds have been trained to accept new ideas, to deal with innovation. This is the belief of Jean Mar- chand, designated as the future minister of manpower. pen eee Dpeaniig iccauy w tie Cana- dian Association for Adult Educa- news published therein, All 'rights of epeciel Sore | des o ia apg het Iso reserved, Thomson so iggy = 425 University ee re Toren, Ontario; Cathcart Street SUBSCRIPTION RATES Dell carriers in Oshawa, Whitby, Aj 4 % ng A Mi Manchester | malt in Province of Ontario ve En Sey ae $15.00 per year. 18.00, per year.

That is the reason why, in devel- oping go new manpower program, the aim is to bring together peopie and opportunity, that there is assur- ance that the plans made are not limited solely to the horizons of to- day. Prime Minister Pearson has said that the manpower policy should be one to give every Canadian a real pe ype to develop his abilities and skills to their full potential -- and to maintain and improve his skills and knowledge so that he can respond to the changing needs of a very dynamic working world. Tn comment this point is made by The St. Catharines Standard, the need of the day is that men be train- ed to respond to changing needs. To the extent that we gear ourselves to cope with these changes will de- pend the future of our affluent so- ciety. To the degree that we extend that society to include those who are now "on the outside looking in," will depend our success as responsi- ble Canadian citizens in the critical years ahead. OTTAWA REPORT Youth Concerned Most About Peace PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA--"A group of young Geiegaier succecucu in aiticu- sting and reflecting the anvi- eties, the feelings and the mood of a great mass of the people in the country, not only who have become disenchanted and confused with Palitics and politicians." That could apply to Canada, but actually it was a report about a recent Liberal conven- tion in Britain. In the United States, we read, polls show that President Johnson's popularity has dropped sharply, as the economy, race relations and the Viet Nam. war all grow sour. Thus in this autumn of political discontent, we find the Cana- dian mood repeated in other similar countries. I often hear parliamentarians ueplore the new wave of dis- content among, young people, those in their late teens and early 20s. Beards and banjos, sit-ins and psychodelic drugs, drop-outs and dirty feet are the outward sighs of the revolt of youth against the standards of their elders, Parliamentarians csplore this waste of the greater opportunities now avail- able to youth. But what have those same parliamentarians done to explore the basic mo- tives, and to correct the anxi- eties? Most politicians here worry about the trend in politics which lias dragged them to such a low level over the past decade. All politicians rely for their re- election on give-away economic promises to the voters; yet they all privately deplore these elec- toral auctions, and admit that other issues deserve priority. WHY THE YOUNG WORRY But what are the anxieties of thinking youth? Why is youth revolting against and contemp- tuous of its elders? Politicians ask these questions, but don't know the answers. There must be some sane answers among 'the most highly educated gen- eration our country has ever had, so I posed these questions to some young people, and heard revealing and well-pre- HIGK© OO lee $04 ivi "ici and guilty "My grandparents went through World War I, and I have heard o fthe suffering caused," went one typical an- swer. "My parents went through an even worse world war, and J still see and hear of the misery caused by that. I and my friends are condemned by our elders to become eim- broiled in an infinitely worse third world war, from whose suffering and slaughter we will never emerge. So our fatalistic philosophy must be: Let us eat, drink and be merry, for tomor: row we die." WE MUST RESTORE HOPE The world's most powérful nation is overtaxing itself to be capable of a twentyfold nuclear overkill against even the world's second most powerful nation. Racial bitterness is being aggravated daily by an economic' system which makes the rich nations richer and the poor nations poorer. Disctis- sions about cease-fires and dis- armament, about United Na- tions and world government, ring with insincerity. How, in all fairness, can our thinking youngsters hold any hope for their own future under present leadership? The older generation, those who lead their nations today, could learn from the more sin- cere beatniks, who are pathet- ically striving to attract atten- tion. Surely they are right, and we their elders are wrong? We are putting the cart before the horse. They peer into the fu- ture, and see with stark clarity what merits priority. There can be no question that our Number One objective should be to assure world peace. What will the Canada Pension Plan avail the young, what will a 30 per cent pay in- creasé be worth, what will medicare mean to them, if they are destined to be deprived of their benefits by a sudden sear- ing flash which will end their lives, and end our world as we know it? Saigon Economy Jostles By Just One Blown Bridge By DOUGLAS AMARON SAIGON (CP)--The economy of Saigon is so sensitive that one blown bridge doubled the price of pork in two days and contributed in large measure to a 7%-per-cent increase in one 'week in the retail -price index. Tt happened this way. In the week before the Sept. 11 election for a constituent as- sembly in South Viet Nam, the Viet Cong destroyed a bridge on a highway that runs to Saigon from the rice paddies of the Mekong Delta. Pigs feed on rice bran and broken rice, and pork, the sterle meat in this country where few cattle are raised, is a major secondary product of the delta. Without the bridge, the main source of Saigon's pork supply was cut off and the price of pork bellies jumped to 180 piastres (about $1.65) a kilo- gram (2.2 pounds) from 90. More costly cuts tripled in price. The pork shortage increased demand for chicken and shrimp and these prices rose too. At the same time the bridge was blown up, a VC roadblock on a through market- garden land!to the north pre< vented vegetables from reach ing the city, where from 16 te 20 per cent of Viet Nam's 15,000,000-plus population lives. Prices of these commodities also jumped sharply. PRICES FELL LATER The effect of these two in- cidents, coupled 'with hesitation of importers to unload food while the election result was in doubt, raised the retail price index 16 points to 227 Sept. 12 from 211 Sept. 6. The base index of 100 dates from Jan. 1, 1965. Prices fell as soon as com- munications were restored, but these examples show how the Viet Cong can influence the cost of living in Saigon. The Sept. 6-12 jump was the greatest since last June when prices rose sharply after de- valuation of the piastre. 'SYMBOLS OF SANITY' RGIK DAT Mrienr prem nan acwe= aw eee « Veh sulle Dili LERUVUUND Kennedy - Fulbright Talked For 1968 By RELMAN G. MORIN Haven, Conn. They plan others his booming political stock nat- most probably would rise again a -- NEW YORK (AP) -- An auto- mobile rolled slowly through a New York summer resort town recently bearing an orange-and- black bumper sticker which read, "Kennedy Fulbright 1968." The sticker struck one re- sponsive chord. A woman who saw it promptly joined the or- ganization distributing it, CFKF, which stands for Citizens for Kennedy Fulbright. Sponsors gaid they are also seeking sig- natures from Democrats and in- dependent voters on_ petitions, 10,000 initially, to nominate Sen- ator Robert F. Kennedy of New York for president and Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkan- sas for vice-president in 1968. Why these two? Because Ken- nedy and Fulbright, who is chairman of the Senate f relations committee, differ wi! President Johnson on foreign policy and so does CFKF. A leaflet says the senators are "symbols of sanity in foreign policy," whereas, it continues, the administration policy is "dangerous and inflexible." This means, primarily, the war in Viet Nam and the corol- lary problems of China and Southeast Asia, issues that dis- turb many Americans and, de- pending on the situation two years hence, may very well be a major battleground in the presidential elections. MOSTLY LAW STUDENTS Law students appear to con- stitute the nucleus of CFKF. Spokesmen said centres have been opened in New York City, Berkeley, Calif, and New in New Jersey and Massachu- setts, This is probably the first or: ganized effort of any size to make Robert Francis Kennedy the Democratic candidate for president in 1968. But it is not an entirely isolated instance. In- dividuals write Kennedy urging him to oppose Johnson for the nomination, To CFKF and other such sug- gested movements, Kennedy re- plies with what amounts to a form letter saying he has '"'no future plans other than to serve New York state and the nation to the best of my ability as a United States senator." Further, he has repeatedly said he would support Johnson and Vice-President Hubert Hum- phrey in 1968. But, in two years, circum- stances could radieally change the picture as it stands today. If so, Kennedy has positioned himself magnificently to reach for the shiniest prize. He is the most talked - about senator -- slightly to the left of both John- con and Humphrey. He has made himself highly visible on key domestic and foreign issues. To get the nomination for him, Kennedy's friends would have to get the Democratic party to repudiate a Demo- cratic president if they entered his name in some state primar- ies in 1968, or organize a write- in vote for him -- something practically unheard of in mod- ern politics. STOCK STILL BOOMS But if the No. 1 spot on the 68 ticket appears to bea bit out of the reach for Kennedy, } . urally stirs talk about nominat- ing him for vice-president. If it happened, it would be an ironic feotnote to history. For, only two years ago, Ken- nedy seemed the obvious choice for the vice - presidential nom- ination. He wanted it and the polls attested his popularity over all other potential nomi- nees,/Then Johnson effectively dealt him out of the running. Kennedy then ran for the sen- ate, winning election and, in two 'short years, has won the re- spect Of his colleagues, become the most powerful Democrat in New York, and the hottest political property in the country. Public opinion polls show Ken- nedy running ahead of the presi- dent in California, Iowa and Mi- chigan. The Minnesota poll gave Kennedy a two-to-one margin over Humphrey as the strong- est potential running mate for Johnson in 1968. This, in Hum- phrey's home state. And a recent Gallup Poll showed Kennedy leading the president as the favorite among both Democrats and independ- ent voters for the nomination in 1968. In percentages the fig- ures were Kennedy 40, Johnson 38 among Democrats and Ken- nedy 38, Johnson 24 among in- dependents. VIET NAM FACTOR But popularity ratings are subject to the fickle winds of change. They could blow from Viet Nam, for example. If the war were to take a vis- ible turn for the better, if some concrete development indicated definite progress toward a set- tlement, the president's rating above Kennedy's, For it appears that a major factor in the spectacular growth of Kennedy's prestige has been the positions he has taken on Viet Nam in particular and the problems of peace in general. This is what he said on one phase of the Vietnamese prob- lem: "Whatever the exact status of the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) -- puppet or partly independent -- any negotiated settlement must accept the fact that there are discontented ele- ments in South Viet Nam, Com- munist and non - Communist, who desire to change the exist- ing political and economic sys- tem of that country. ... To admit them to a share of power and responsibility is at the heart of the hope for a negotiated set- tlement." Similarly, Kennedy has ques- tioned the wisdom of bombing North Viet Nam. LINKED TO CHINESE He has delivered some long and tightly - reasoned state- ments on approaches to disar- mament and, linking the prob- ars with Communist China, has sala: "China exists. China is a nu- clear power, and without China's co + Operation the proliferation of nuclear weapons may be be- yond our capacity to control. "It is therefore our responsi- bility to take the first step--to take every honorable step -- to bring China to the table of dis- cussion at Geneva, or to engage in bilateral discussions at a high level elsewhere, But this we have not done."

The high-tariff policy did not work, and it was not long be- fore the U.S. was trying to ar- range a reciprocal trade déal with Canada. Sir John A. Macdonald was prime minister and had tried a national policy of higher tar- iffs for Canada from 1879 to 1883. It had been followed by depression and many leading Canadians were advocating commercial union with the U.S. The American approach to Canada about a reciprocal trade deal was made by Secretary of State Blaine through the British ambassador in Washington. Sir John A, Macdonald sent a num- ber of proposals to the U.S. government, as a basis for dis- cussion, but Blaine suddenly gave the Liberal newspaper Toronto Globe an exclusive story denying that Canada and the U.S. were negotiating a re- ciprocal. trade agreement. It appeared that the U.8. gov- ernment was trying to defeat the Conservative government in Canada. This led Sir John to abandon all thought of making a deal with the U.S. and he re- vived his national poliey for the election campaign. The Con- sérvatives won by a margin of 31 seats. It was Sir John's last election victory. The strain had been too great and he died soon after. OTHER OCT.

U.S. Investment In Canada Defies Efforts At Trimming By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP)--Ameri- can investment in Canada keeps rolling right along despite the United States' efforts to trim its drain of gold and dollars. In fact, there are indications new capital investment in Ca- nadian industry this year of a forecast $2,260,000,000 is more than the Canadian government likes as it battles inflation. Any such concern is ironic considering some apprehensions earlier this year that the U.S. program be its balance-of- nawrmant= work the other way against. 'the Ca- nadian economy. The projected increase for 1966 is taken from forecasts made in mid-June by 900 U.S. companies under the voluntary program to reduce the pay- 'ments deficit. The estimate is $354,000,000 higher than the capital investment flow to Ca- nada last year, The forecast for Europe of $3,584,000,000 is $000,- 000,000 higher than 1964 invest- ment, The forecast for 1967 in Ca- nada is for a similar amount, perhaps more depending on just what President Johnson has in mind for the American evo- nomy. Whatever he does will have--and has had--a direct impact on 'Canada in another example of the fact that the American economic cough eas- ily becomes Canada's cold. HOBBLED MEASURES Finance Minister Mitchell Sharp in an analysis here Sept. 29 said two factors unforeseen earlier this year had hobbled Canadian anti-inflation meas- ures. One was the unfulfilled Ca- nadian hope that the U.S. would include a tax increase in its own measures to cool out its eco- nomy. But President Johnson, in an election year, has stuck resolutely with less drastic measures ranging from persua- sion to- tight money. No tax increase is expected until after the Nov. 8 congres- sional elections. Sharp also said the surge in Canadian exports, especially to the U.S., had not been envis- aged in 'Canada. He was referring to the war- whetted appetite of the Amer ican economy for foreign goods, including Canada's: a product of the presidential decision to produce guns for Viet Nam and butter at home too. In . this climate, American private capital investment abroad for the first half of the year was running higher than a year ago at an annual rate Of $4,000,000,000. The 1966 projection for Ca- nada breaks down as follows, with 1966 equivalents bracketed: mining and smelt- ing -- $340,000, oe ty . 000); petroleum -- $552,000 sek); -- $1,171,00,000 ($952, - trade -- $84,000,00 Ceba,0e-600); other industries -- $115,000,000 ($104,000,000).
