A ARR a NUN HE CALC Ser RRR RIDUSEreneccceenm OTTAWA REPORT AT CABINET. LEVEL She Oshawa Times Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario T. L. Wilson, Publisher TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1966 -- PAGE 4 Delay In This Instance Brought Assurances The federal government -- with justification -- has been subjected to considerable criticism during the Pearson years for delay and indeci- sion. It follows that it deserves commendation when a delay or post- ponement pays off. And that's what it has been receiving on the hand- ling of the Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Ltd. Application for permission to route Western gas to Fastern Can- ada through the United States. the first instance the Na- tiongl Energy Board approved the application but despite this, the federal government turned thumbs down. At that time, a great federal sensitivity was evident to the pro- tection of Canadian interests. » Subsequently meetings were held between the federal energy minis- ter, Trans-Canada officials and fommittments satisfactory to the government were obtained that. the Canadian resource was in no way jeopardized by the proposal. The assurances provide that more than 50 per cent of the volume of Western natural gas to supply East- ern Canada will be transported through the ompany's Canadian route and that the ompany will start work by 1970 on looping its present 80- inch pipeline through Northern Ontario. In addition, there is an undertaking that the company will never dispose of its interest in the subidiary that would operate the U.S. line without approval of the Canadian Government. These arrangements and safe- guards have been heralded as sound national policy and the government has been commended for insisting upon them before agreeing to the pipeline through the United States. Optimism For Expo * Expo 67 may yet do Canada proud. It can bring the country the reputation throughout the world of being a nation that can do things properly, _ Despite the current swirl of mud and confusion on Montreal's Iles Ste. Helene and Notre Dame, the current issue of Maclean's Magazine reports, Expo is shaping into the biggest and best fair the world has ever seen, The secret is not simply Expo's size. It's also the fact that the fair is being put together with flair, efficiency and fantastic taste -- avoiding all the mistakes that took the edge off enjoyment of pre- vious world fairs. The article list 49 distinct reasons why Expo will be unlike any other : "exposition ever attempted: Here are some of them: Three brand new "big rides" in the amusement park, including the Gyraton conceived by British stage designer Sean Kenny.

Emotional nationalism is the obvious explanation for the shooting up of the British Em- bassy in Buenos Aires just at a time when Prince Philip was visit- ing the republic's president, and for the seizure of an airliner for a raid on the Falkland Islands. NEW OTTAWA PROBLEM (Ottawa Citizen) It is almost incredible that the new station has been open now for two months and there is still no bus service te it, Even more in- credible is that no negotiations are currently in progress for establish- ing one. Prairie Battler Still Deep In Fray OTTAWA--The battles are by no means over. MPs are reas- sembling after their interrupted 1 weeks holiday, and they find both large parties in the throes of-a leadership crisis, Conserv- ative John Diefenbaker is fac- ing the fourth attempt to dis- lodge him; Liberal Lester Pear- son hears the second demand that he retire. The two leaders are reacting in different manners. Despite the youthful cries of "Begone! Old man," Prime Minister Pearson remains comfortably coddied in the immense per- song} popularity he enjoys among English - speaking Lib- eral MPs. He has made up his owr mind to retire after seeing our centennial celebrations through, and the loyal Liberals are willing to sustain him for as long as he wishes to remain, Dief is a Prairie courtroom battler, not a conciliatory dip- lomat. He sensed the probabil- ity that the November national meeting of his party would stage another onslaught by his critics, and he moved to fore- stall that with a timing admired even by his foes. Choosing the seemingly innocuous and bon- homous setting of his 71st birth- day party in his Parliament Hill office, he casually men- tioned that he might repeat Sir John A. Macdonald's feat of fighting and winning an election in his 70s. THAT SMOKED THEM OUT Conservative president Dalton Camp at once launched his "Dump Dief" campaign with a clarion call before the Toronto Junior Board of Trade. Rebel Tories quickly backed Camp, notably Davie Fulton--British Columbia's crushed Tory leader -~whose tone was resented here 2s avr ¥ 'I am campaigning for his job.' Other Tories at once rallied to Dief, such as ex-rebel George Hees, who smoothly parried questions about his own ambitions by declaring that the party has re- united under its leader, and he must be supported so long as he remains the democratically- elected leader. The old soldier, Gordon Churchill, advised Dief to do as Gen. Montgomery had done so successfully at the battle of El Civil Service Alamein: send out scouts to probe the enemy, but silently build up strength until it can attack with the power of a coiled spring. Many Conservatives who now stand behind their Old Chief regret the concept of an auto- matic lifetime tenure of the job. But they argue that a success- ful push against him would split their party, while an un- successful revolt would wreck it. Further, they all believe that any other leader might merely serve to make the Lib- eral leadership look less inept on. the floor of the House, GRITS WANT DIEF OUT The Liberal reaction is sige nificant. Many of them expect the Camp attack to succeed within a few months. With Dief's successor leading the Opposition, they say---remark- ably echoing the Tory loyalists -~Mike Pearson would be able to exercise unfettered rule in Parliament; he could push through most of the Liberal program, and thus refurbish his image and go down in history as a successful prime minister, In recent months strength has certainly melted away from the minority support which the Liberals received at the last election. Some of this is going to the New Democrats, Diefen- baker however has not lost ground; not even from the Munsinger case, for reasons expressed with accurate suc- cessiveness by the Welland "Evening Tribune': 'The re- port is a vivid reflection on how the nation's affairs are relegated in order that spite and vindic- tiveness may be given full rein," Many Conservatives, as Al- berta MP Eldon Woolliams has stated, would like to see a democratic decision on whether the leader should be endorsed in office, or be replaced, in the interests of party unity. The re- peated unofficial. and undemo- cratic challenges they regard as ruinous party tactics. But whatever Dief's critics ma, say, he is not without sub- stantial support; he is not out of the fight yet, nor is he beyond trading punches most effectively with political foes of all parties. Labor Act Comes Under Union Fire OTTAWA (CP)--The system of collective bargaining pro- posed for some 200,000 federal employees is too restrictive and will cut them off from the labor force, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said today. The 100,000 - member CUPE, with: few members in federal employ but many in provinctal and municipal positions, made its criticism in a brief to the Senate-Commons committee on the public service. ; The committee is currently hearing submissions on the pro- posed Public Service Staff Rela- tions Act, The act spells out bargaining procedures, estab- lishes new agencies to adminis- ter the system and provides for compulsory arbitration and strikes, The brief regretted the gov- ernment had not amended the Industrial Relations and Dis- putes Investigation Act--main federal statute covering bar- gaining and disputes settlement --to cover federal employees, rather than introduce a new bill. The proposed act was a "peculiar biend Of areas Of €x- tremely rigorous legalistic defi- nitions and widespread general- ities which may provide a rich field day. for the lawyers." Other union groups have made similar complaints about the bulky bill. 'PROPOSAL OUTDATED' It was based on "the old- fashioned philosophy' that the relationship between federal employees and the government differed from that of employees and employers in the private sector. "It is an error to suppose that the public service is sealed off from the rest of the labor force of the nation." The brief was also critical of "abnormal powers" the bill would grant the chairman of the proposed public service staff re- lations board, The bill was "ex- cessively restrictive' on em: ployees and their employer in. not letting them own collective bargaining rela- tions." Certain sections "may be used as an excuse in certain cases of intimidation and _ discrimina- tion" against. employees. The union also opposed any restric- tion on the right of civil serv- ants to participate in political ACiiVilies--a Cause for GIsussai under the bill A copy of the brief was re- leased to the press in advance of its submission.

Most African countries have in some degree similar problems of race and creed, but are not yet as far along the road of independence as Ni- geria FEAR 18 CAUSE a Simple fear is at the root of Northern Region fear the thrusting Ibos of the eastern province and the Yorubas of the western and mid-western prov: inces. The Christian and pagan people of the three southern re- gions fear the North, which is twice as big in F a agate' and territory as the three combined. Nigeria, however, built up an enviable reputation for stability and promise after attaining in- dependence from Britain Oct. 1, 1960. The Ontario-sized country welcomed western investment and, much to the envy of other African countries, even started an oil industry. It now is the second biggest oil producer, after Canada, in the Common- wealth What went wrong? Actually the post-independ- ence honéymoon came to an end by May, 1962, when the rad- ical Action Group split, leading to a declaration of a state of emergency in the Western Re- gion, which has been troubled ever since. The action group leaders, chiefs Obafemi Awo- lowo and Anthony Enahoro, were imprisoned on treason charges Nigeria underwent two gen- eral strikes in 1963. As a meas- ure of growing corruption, a study showed that though unem- of the wage earner was little better than his unemployed brother. DISPUTED ELECTION The 1964 general election turned out to be just short of open warfare. Southerners were convinced that census figures had been rigged to ensure northern political dominance in perpetuity. A Western Region election in 1965 again became the occasion for violence and killings. Criminal elements seized the opportunity of political disorder to rob and pillage, and anarchy seemed near. Then came the first army re- volt Jan. 15, probably resulting from the reported plan of Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna (sul- tan) of Sokvts and Northern Re- gion premier, to impose a mili- tary solution on the political problems of the southern re- gions Maj..Gen. Johnson Aguiyi- Tronsi, an Ibo, emerged as head of a military government and there was a feeling that Niberia was reborn. Discredited politi- cians were sent packing. But soon Aguiyi-Ironsi's ac- tions were interpreted in tribal terms and his desire for a uni- tary state~as opposed to a fed- KILLING RESUMED Killings began again in May and increased in July, when Aguiyi-Irensi was toppled. Some Ibo officers were killed in re- venge for the January action and many more escaped or were repatriated to the Eastern Region His successor, Lt.-Col. Ya- kubu Gowan, 31, is in the happy position of being a Christian from the north, belonging to a small tribe, enhancing his value as a mediator. But he faces a mammoth task even in restor- ing confidence in- the army. And the new Hausa-Ibo vio- lence puts in jeopardy Gowon's other main achievement, a con- stitutional conference designed to work out an acceptable form of government for Nigeria. Con- ference delegates, significantly enough, include the once-dis- graced Awolowo and Enahoro Some observers have pointed out that division of Nigeria into two or three countries would not necessarily make better friends of the tribes. As one west Afri- can journal puts it "Even if it is ingenuous to suppose that closer acauain- tance-ship makes friend- ship, withdrawal never lessen suspicion." for can bie Hey / BOARDS MM Te CANADA'S STORY THE SURFERS {HRT AE ARLE me a Riel Makes His Debut One of the most dramatic scenes in Canadian history took place Oct. 11, 1869. The federal government was taking over the territory formerly governed by the Hudson's Bay Company, but theopération was badly planned. The half - breed set- tlers, known as Metis, were greatly disturbed because they did not understand what was happening and feared that their lands were being taken from them. The government was moving quickly because it had received secret information thet . the United States was planning ei the to take-over-the eroa and had agents working there.

Huldreich Zwing!i, the Swiss religious reformer, was executed 435 years ago today--in 1531--after lead- ing his followers to defeat in a civil war against the Lutherans. By the age of 39, Zwingli had persuaded the canton of Zurich to stop hiring out mercenary soldiers, to proscribe a pa- pal agent selling indul- gences and to secede from the bishopric of Constance. Zwingli's religious principles were based on a strict ad- herence to Scripture, defy- ing rules and practices of the Roman Catholic Church which could not be found in the Bible. 1737--An earthquake near Calcutta killed © 300,000 people. 1868--Edison patented an electric voting machine.

Kaufman, president, told city council in a recent letter, vey parties to Manitoba. They were supposed to survey the land so it could be divided among the claimants, but the Metis did not know this. On Oct, 11, one of the survey crews began working on land claimed by Andre Nault, a cousin of Louis Riel. Nault tried to stop the surveyors, but they told him to go away. So he saddijed a horse, and rode for help. In a short time Nault came back with 16 Metis in- cluding stocky, curly - haired Louis Riel, then a young man. Riel put a moccasined foot on the surveyors'c ad '2 'you go no further,"' So one of the most contro- versial figures in Canadian his- tory appeared on the scene, and the repercussions are felt Te Shee politically even today.

U.S. Man On Moon By 1970 Program At Crossroads By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- The American space program, aimed at putting men on the moon by 1970 and perhaps as early as 1968, is at a cross- roads, President Johnson must soon decide how many new dollars the United States can afford to send into orbit while stepping up the campaign against infla- tion. A debate is shaping up on how far and how fast the U.S. should travel on the road to the stars and how much of the national treasury it should turn over to the space program. The space indusiry creaied since the race began in 1957 is already lobbying quietly, using two main arguments. One is the suggestion that the Soviet Union has committed it- self to rocket boosters bigger than anything produced by the SS. The other is the contention that the space industry, fed by contracts from the National Aeronautics and Space Admin- istration, is already beginning to run down, Those with reservations about how aggressively a space pro- gram should be maintained re- call what Max Born, the-noted German scientist, said eight years ago. He called space flight "an extremely expensive sport and thus an extravagant luxury. . . a triumph of intellect, tragic failure of reason." IS RUSSIA OUT? This group also points to hint. that the Soviet Union is no longer an all-out competitor in the race to reach the moon first, An article in The New Repub- lig magazine said there is grows ing cause to speculate that the Russians' have quietly with- drawn from the moon race, 'if indeed they ever were com- mitted to this as a near-term goal," The article said NASA would hardly confirm this because it would endanger larger approp- riations it wants, but "it has been 18 months since the Rus- sians launched their last manned space shot." In that period the U.S. Gemini pro- gram had broken all records. The article went on to specu- late that the Russians had de- but a cided to convert much space money to earthly pursuits. And even in the space program there was more emphasis on military aspects. Launchings of satellite "spy" vehicles had gone up 50 per cent in each of the last three years. A short time later, published reports of a new Soviet threat, attributed to the usual anony- mous but respectable Washing: ton sources, began appearing. These were to the effect that the Soviet Union had begun de- veloping a rocket bigger than the untested Saturn V engine. The rocket would have 7,500,000 pounds of thrust and would send three men inta an arhit around the moon, also carrying another vehicle that would en- able two of the men to land on the moon and return. Public Bill, Regional Procedure TORONTO (Special) _ Mo nicipalities wishing to act' on recommendations in reviews of local government are not expected to take the private bills route. That's the word now from -- Park. Indeed, the municipal affairs department would probably dis- courage such action because the government regards movement towards regional uae as a matter of public policy. Therefore any action would be in the form of a public bill put before the Ontario Legislature by the government. Municipal Affairs Minister J, W. Spooner indicated the pro- cedure in his remarks at the presentation of the Mayo report on the Niagara Region local government review, What happens, then, ts this: On the publication of the re- gional government report, the municipal affairs ~ minister in- vites all interested persons and agencies -- the municipal coun- cils, school boards, district as- sociates and so on -- to submit their opinions. Their views on the report's recommendations, for or against, in general or in detail, must be submitted in writing. The municipal affairs minis- ter also gets the opinions of other government departments concerned with the ideas. -and proposals expressed in the re- port -- education, for example, will almost certainly be in- volved. The minister then puts the whole matter before the cabinet including his own opinions and those of his aides. It is thus thrashed out at cabinet level, and the decision to act or not to act becomes a government decision. If the government decides to act, Premier Robarts may make a public statement, as he did following the Goldenburg report on Metro Toronto. But public statement or not, the action to be taken will be em- bodied in a specific piece of legislation -- a bill put before the Legislature by the govern- ment, YEARS AGO 15 YEARS AGO October 11, 1051 Mr. Stan Martin has bees presented with the Collis Troe phy for being the most valuabiq member of the Whitby Kins men Club.
